Chapter 900 The Most Profitable Cartoon
Jobs standing at the door of the luxury movie theater in White Square in Los Angeles was a little nervous. After all, this is the world's first fully computer-generated animation.
The concept of a 3D engine is nothing new in Silicon Valley. Although those 3D accelerator cards of various brands are still very expensive, they are not as outrageous as in previous years.
A movie is nothing, the concept is nothing short of trivial. If, if all the cartoons in the future come from this way, a guy like Disney who holds a lot of IP will definitely make a lot of money.
In Hollywood and Wall Street, no one is an idiot. In today's premiere, it was actually William White himself.
In fact, it is not his turn to appear in a movie of this level. Michael Eisner is doing it to save face. Today is good, not only William White is here, but almost all the top executives of his group are here.
"Steve, your hands are sweaty, I said, don't you need to be so nervous."
"It's just that the weather is a bit hot. I said, your air conditioner is not very good, is it?"
"Are you kidding? The most advanced central air conditioner in the United States, you thought it was just talking about it."
William White didn't mean to grab the limelight, and he directly brought his minions in. While Old Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help complaining secretly. Of course you are not nervous, this is my entire net worth.
"Calm down, Steve, there has never been a cartoon completed by a computer. This is just the second thing. Today's scene is treated like a blockbuster movie."
"Larry, my friend, the pressure is too much, and if you screw it up, it's a lost cause."
"Hahaha, there is no such possibility. William White said that when a hurricane comes, cows can also fly. Don't you think this movie stands in the center of the storm?"
When Jobs was stunned, what Larry Ellison said made sense. If he couldn't do it under this kind of publicity, he really had nothing to complain about.
The plot of Toy Story can only be described as crude. Of course, this means that the creators of Pixar are more ethical, unlike William White, who directly changed the story of Prince's Revenge.
For William White, the plot is actually not important, innovation is the most important. The three-dimensional cartoons really brought many people back to their childhood memories.
The theater lights were turned on again, and everyone gave a standing ovation. At this moment, Master Qiao cried like a child.
"Congratulations, I just received the news, and the response from other theaters is also good, go up and say a few words." Patting God Qiao on the shoulder, William White smiled happily. Although Old Joe will make a lot of money, William White will not make less money.
"Thanks, you're right, I think those bastards should regret it."
"Hahaha, don't talk about this, go to meet your glory, you deserve it."
When it comes to the ability to speak, William White is actually far inferior to Jobs. If the status is equal, Jobs' appeal must be greater.
It's not anything to belittle yourself, it really is the truth. It means that Old Qiao is not in good health, otherwise, he can go to Peanutton to try the water.
Don't think it's a joke, people who are good at speeches have many more opportunities than others. Counting from Roosevelt, if you look at it yourself, the only one who is not good at words may be Little Bush.
In the three days of the first weekend, Toy Story created a box office of 38 million in North America. If the global box office is calculated, this cartoon seems to have paid off.
The global box office of 70 million in three days is basically the box office of a blockbuster. There are less than 7,000 curtains in the world, making the eyes of a large group of cinema operators jump.
Get rich, damn it, if it wasn't for this schedule. Damn, why not summer. Also, can you guys ship those dolls over here quickly.
American theater chain operators are relatively at a disadvantage. They just bully the rookies, but they dare not make mistakes when they meet Hollywood giants.
Although the income from the box office share is not high, those dolls are very profitable. Damn it, hurry to Disney to grab the goods.
Michael Eisner also did not expect that he had increased the number of orders under the circumstances. Such bloody incidents are still happening, so don't say anything, let's go by air.
If there is no stock, the boss will definitely take his skin off. And that damn Jobs, stop rushing me.
"You should feel lucky, old Joe, if these things were produced in the foot basin according to your instructions, I would not be able to get a hair out of them now.
Don't worry, production has been divided into two shifts 24 hours a day. I also chartered the Federal plane, man, I have done everything that can be done and can't be done. "
"Damn it, you make money too."
"Nonsense, if it wasn't like this, I would take the risk? Do you know that the boss of the toy department told me that if the effect is not satisfactory, these toys need to be sold for a year."
To be honest, from William White's point of view, Old Joe is just a pain in the ass. If he were to operate it, it would definitely be a mess.
In fact, Jobs regrets it now. Nima, my buddy promised too readily at the beginning. The value of these peripheral products may exceed the movie box office itself.
Regretful but at the same time thankful, if it weren't for Disney, other companies really wouldn't be able to play. You go to Beauty and the Beast and then to The Lion King, these guys really know how to make money, how to make more money.
Michael Eisner disapproved of this guy's ignorance of good and bad. Do you know how much risk Disney is taking here?
Of course, it’s easy to say that the box office is hot. Do you know that if the North American region only has a little over 100 million yuan, we might lose money here.
No matter what it is, if it's just lip service, of course you can be invincible. Returning to the production of Nima foot basins, do you know that the girls in the factory are all going to shoot action movies. Just relying on those old ladies, how could it be possible for you to replenish the goods.
Additional orders, this is called counter order in the factory. Although the workers are already familiar with it, it is actually very difficult. All production plans need to be revised, and all raw materials need to be added.
This means that the past two years have been good, and the industrial chain has basically been perfected. If you dared to do this a few years ago, the toy factory would be paralyzed.
"Well, well, William, tell me the time."
"One week, it can't be faster, the managers are all on the assembly line, I really can't ask for more."
"Ahem, okay, okay, you're right, these things should be produced in Rabbit Country. I've decided, I must go and see that magical place."
William White ignores this guy's nonsense, he has a lot of work to do. How much money peripheral products make, he doesn't care at all.
However, the greater the number of sales, the more Pixar benefits. In this way, their reports will look a little better.
Earn 20 million more, ten times the PE is 200 million, and twenty times the PE is 400 million. If the market value rises by 400 million, it is not a small sum.
What are investors buying?
expected.
If you can earn hundreds of millions of dollars from a single movie plus peripherals, then it’s no big deal. A valuation of less than one billion U.S. dollars is obviously an underestimation.
Why is Old Joe in such a hurry?
He didn't really care about the profits of those toys. After all, Disney made a lot of money. For a moment, Old Joe really wanted to start a toy company.
Fortunately, this guy has something he cares more about. Apple is dying, and if there are no good measures, it may be in the ICU.
