Heads Up Hollywood

Jobs is a clear-headed businessman, and he certainly cannot act "recklessly" like Dunn.

Now, in the 21st century, major Hollywood companies have begun to realize the prospect of animated films. Warner and Sony have also established their own animation departments. Introduced fully computer-generated animation.

However, looking at the entire Hollywood, the development of the animation industry, the most powerful is Disney!

Don't look at the popularity of Disney's cartoons in recent years, but after all, Disney has been engaged in cartoons for decades, and has accumulated a lot of experience and resources.

In particular, Disney has more and wider promotion channels, from Disneyland to Disney Channel, and even the brand "Disney" represents cartoons in many cases.

So even if the relationship between Jobs and Michael Eisner was frozen, Disney was still an important partner for Pixar.

The fundamental reason is not a contract, but Disney's ability.

Tang En wants to buy out the contract between Pixar and Disney, which is of course not in Pixar's interest, even if Tang En pays, it won't work!

Apart from Disney, which film company can promote Pixar cartoons to the world? And there are many mature peripheral copyright developments, the more channels, the more benefits.

The conversation between the two ended here. Regarding the positioning of Pixar, the two did not reach an agreement.

Fortunately, Apple's shareholder meeting will be held at the end of the month.

In half a month, Jobs can find an opportunity to talk to Tang En again.

In the current box office market, "Spider-Man" continues to be high-profile, and Fox's "Titan A.E." has dropped to 500 theaters, and the screening rate has dropped to 2%. Disney's "Sixty Seconds" fared slightly better, but with more blockbusters coming in July, its market share also dropped sharply.

Now, "Spider-Man" is still the most popular movie in the market, and it has entered the fourth week, and the screening rate is still as high as 35%. It was followed by Warner Bros. disaster blockbuster The Perfect Storm and Miramax's Scary Movie.

Especially "Scary Scream", it simply made Disney proud!

This horror film with an investment of less than 2,000 US dollars was released on July 7. Under the impact of "Spider-Man", the box office in the first week still reached 48.3 million US dollars. The weekly box office list is second only to "Spider-Man". second.

Although "Sixty Seconds" failed disastrously at the box office, "Scary Movie" produced by Miramax saved Disney a lot of face.

As a result, Harvey Weinstein has been very high-profile recently, and he seems to be grabbing headlines with Twain.

Although Miramax is a subsidiary of Disney, it operates independently and is not under the management of the production department. Therefore, the success of "Scary Movie" has nothing to do with Joe Ruth, the chairman of Disney's production department!

Even more of a mockery.

Harvey Weinstein's US$19 million horror film "Scary Movie" was a big success in the summer, but Joe Ruth's US$90 million commercial blockbuster "Sixty Seconds" failed miserably.

Now, Joe Ruth is under a lot of pressure and may face the end of being fired at any time. Of course he is not reconciled!

"Sixty Seconds" is already a piece of dead meat, hopeless, and Joe Ruth puts his hopes on the next movie-"Undead" directed by Nate Shyamalan!

Last year, "The Sixth Sense" shocked the world, and even completely crushed "Wedding Crashers" produced by Tang En.

Don't movie fans like the genre of horror and thriller?

Okay, go watch "Undead Tribulation"!

This suspenseful thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis has completed filming and is now undergoing post-production. It is scheduled for November 15th.

The pressure on Joe Ruth is too much, with the fiasco of "Sixty Seconds" in front and the roar of Michael Eisner in the back. He understands that if Michael Eisner shows kindness and plans to give him another chance of redemption, then the only hope is "Undead Tribulation"!

...

Natalie only took on one movie this year, George Lucas's "Star Wars Episode 2", and continued to play Queen Amidala. The role is not too many, and the filming has basically been completed now.

Originally, Hilda Querry planned to let her take part in a movie called "Supermodel", but Twain rejected it.

Ningquewulan, Tang En did not allow Natalie to make bad movies.

Now that Natalie's part is wrapped, actors will go on vacation, as is customary in Hollywood. But Natalie obviously did not have this condition.

As an apology, Tang En had no choice but to invite her to take a walk on Venice Beach in Los Angeles to relax.

Natalie pouted, displeased, "You never take me on vacation!"

"Didn't we go to Australia last year? During the Cannes Film Festival, didn't we also take a tour of Europe?" Tang En and Natalie stepped on the soft and delicate sand with their bare feet, ignoring them at all. A few bodyguards followed silently.

Natalie said angrily: "That's work! You just hang out with me by the way."

Tang En sighed, "Nate, you know, I've been...very busy recently. "Spider-Man" is released, two blockbuster films are in preparation, and I have to negotiate with Jobs recently..."

"That's not the reason! Could it be that you can't even spare a week?" Natalie kicked hard, raising a layer of golden sand.

Tang En took her little hand, "The main problem is the means of transportation. The plane will not be in service until September, and the yacht will be even longer."

"yacht?"

Natalie's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at him in surprise, "You bought a yacht? Is it a big one?"

Tang En glanced at her with a smile. Girls really like that kind of luxurious and spectacular private yachts. "The Lürssen Shipyard in Germany has designed a conceptual drawing, which is very good. They will send someone over next week with their design concepts. Come over and discuss some details.”

"Wow! Cool!"

Natalie suddenly became excited, and jumped to take Tang En's arm, "Can you tell me?"

"say what?"

"Yacht! What kind of yacht are you going to build? It can't be too bad, can it?"

Natalie knew that Tang En was rich and young, and the things he pursued must be high-grade.

Tang En casually said, "At least it's bigger and more luxurious than old guys like 'Savarona' and 'Alexander'."

The "Savarona" is a product of the 1930s. It is 124 meters long and is the largest private yacht in the world today. It is now leased by wealthy Turkish businessmen.

The "Alexander" yacht was built in 1965, with a length of 122 meters. It is owned by the Greek ship tycoon family. It has been upgraded and renovated twice. It is now the second largest private yacht in the world. It is also used for leasing. The daily leasing price... ...$85,000!

Hearing what Tang En said, Natalie's eyes sparkled with little stars, not to mention how happy she was, "What's the specifics?"

Tang En found that she was extremely excited, and kissed her on the cheek, "What do you think?"

"I think... there should be a hospital on the yacht, in case something goes wrong at sea, it can be treated in time."

"good idea."

"Also, there must be a swimming pool. It is impossible to soak in salt water all the time."

"good idea."

"Well... There is also an audio-visual theater! When you are bored, you can watch movies together."

"It should."

Natalie's happy eyes were bent into a line, "It's best to be equipped with a submarine. Then, you can go to see the underwater world!"

Tang En waved his hand, "Yes, definitely! Not only a submarine, but also a few small speedboats, so that you can enjoy the speed and passion on the sea!"

"Yes, that's it!" Natalie tilted her head and thought for a while, "It's better to have a helicopter to facilitate transportation. I heard that there are very few docks that can berth on such a large cruise ship, and it is very difficult to dock. "

"Okay, there's still a helicopter!" Tang En smiled and put his arms around her waist, "Is there any more?"

"Also..." Natalie bit her lip, but she couldn't think of anything, and suddenly felt a little weird, "Hey, why do you keep asking me? It's not me who bought it!"

Tang En leaned down, bit her little earlobe lightly, and said quietly: "This is our yacht, you said... the name of the yacht is 'Nate', how about it?"

"ah?"

Natalie's face instantly turned crimson.

It is impossible for Tang En to give her the yacht directly. The cost of this yacht is estimated to be 200 million US dollars, and the tax increase alone will cost 100 million US dollars, which she simply cannot afford.

By naming this way, it is sincere enough to express Natalie's position in my heart.

"Twain, I...I..."

There were tears in Natalie's eyes, and she was speechless.

Tang En smiled, hugged her lightly, walked on the soft beach, and said softly: "Nate, as I said, I will give you the happiest life!"

Natalie sniffed, quickly settled her emotions, and snorted, "Is this considered compensation?"

"Ah? What compensation?"

Natalie raised her nose and said, "You feel that you owe me, so you make up for it in this way, right?"

"Ahem..."

A black line appeared on Tang En's forehead, "Honey, it's better to be late than never, and compensation is better than debt."

"God theory!"

Natalie glanced at him, snorted disdainfully, and then couldn't help it, and burst into a "puchi" laugh.

The two walked on the beach silently, holding hands, swaying, facing the afterglow of the setting sun, slanting their long silhouettes.

"If not compensation, what are you going to name the yacht?"

"Nate, I've already thought about it!"

"Liar!"

Natalie snorted softly, tilted her head, pursed her lips and smiled jokingly, "You will definitely name it 'Twain'."

"How can it be?"

"Sure, let's take a look at your industry, Tang En Pictures, Tang En Capital, Tang En Building... Huh, narcissist!"
