Hollywood Starts with Animation

"My friends in front of the TV, I'm your old friend Mendel Cousins ​​on the ABC Radio and TV station you're watching, the "Movie Express" special program for you."

TV screen~

At the moment, an evening entertainment news with a decent rating is playing.

Each episode of the program can probably attract millions of families, covering 2 million to 4 million people. Especially in New York and other places, it has a lot of influence.

"Today, the topic of our attention is naturally the upcoming Christmas! When it comes to Christmas, our "Movie Express" program has to talk about the vigorous, lively, and upcoming Christmas season. . . .Great movie."

The host Cousins ​​said: "Universal Pictures' "Family Man", Sony Columbia's "Vertical Limit", Miramax's "Chocolate", Paramount's "100% Man", 20th Century Fox's "Desert Island", Warner's "Beautiful Undercover"......"

"Of course, there is also the courageous Wald Pictures "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"~"

"Through the Christmas season in December, there are as many as 32 new films released in the North American market. In addition to those films that are still popular in November, it is like a battle between dragons and tigers and a visual feast."

A family somewhere in New York.

Well, it's a family of four.

A pair of parents, a pair of teenage children. At the moment, the family is sitting around the dining table to eat and watch TV shows.

The bearded dad chewed a mouthful of corn and said annoyed: "'Movie Express'? I don't know what to see in an old-fashioned rotten show? The host Mendel Cousins ​​is also a big rotten tooth now, and I don't even want to. see him."

The red-haired mother immediately laughed and scolded: "You are still so careful! Isn't it the Christmas movie viewing guide recommended by "Movie Express" last year, it disappointed you, you have been gnashing your teeth for so long?"

The eldest daughter smiled and said, "Mom, my father is notoriously shy, you don't know, you forgot our school's teacher Charlie?"

Teacher Charlie?

Speaking of this, the bearded father immediately blushed with anger. Obviously, the past is unbearable.

"All right,

Stop talking. "

The younger son suddenly continued: "I have read the books "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and I love them very much. This time, the live-action movie of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" On the screen, I believe Mendel Cousins ​​will also recommend it in the show, after all, there are many fans of the book who are looking forward to its early release."

The TV show continues....

"In this episode, the recommended Christmas movie guide movies for you are "100% Man", "Desert Island Survival", "Becoming a King", and the last "Beauty Pageant"." Host Mendel Cousins ​​said.

The voice fell.

The young son, who had been looking forward to it, his face immediately collapsed.

"Fake~"

"Damn Cousins! He didn't recommend "Harry Potter"? His conscience was taken away by Satan, how much does he despise fantasy fairy tales?!"

The younger son was angry, and the dinner plates in his hands fell to the ground.

When the bearded father saw his son like this, he immediately sank in his heart and said solemnly, "How could you knock over the dinner plate?"

Hearing this, the eldest daughter immediately supported her forehead and shrugged: "Dad, I thought you would say that Lit was not good at scolding people, and you would educate him well, but who would have thought... that your focus is actually being knocked to the ground. plate. Oh my god~”

How does ABC TV, a subsidiary of the Disney Group, help Wald Pictures with its promotion?

As things progressed to this day, the suppression of Zucker by the six major Hollywood groups has become more and more obvious. Even the Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox Pictures that are friends with Zucker will not care too much.

The cake is so big!

The six majors of the vested interests will never be distributed to others!

.........

the next day.

Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.

"Boss, this is the news this morning. I bought a dozen copies." Alexander said.

Zucker shrugged his shoulders and took over the dozen or so newspapers.

Boston Evening Post, New York Morning Post, Washington Post, Hollywood Movie Weekly, TIME: Entertainment Edition  …

"Boss, this time 20th Century Fox has made a lot of noise. Their new film "Desert Island Survival" has the participation of FedEx, and the film is even called a 'FedEx commercial' , but look at the news this morning, from now until New Year's Day, any FedEx package will be printed with advertisements for "Desert Island Survival".

Alexander spoke eloquently.

Zucker drank a cup of coffee and nodded calmly.

"Tell me about Paramount's 100 Percent Man."

"Good guy! Although Paramount Pictures and Blockbuster are both subsidiaries of Viacom, this time, Paramount Pictures, in order to promote the "100% Man" movie, has even sold 9,000 locations across the United States. At the entrance of Blockbuster stores, posters for movie promotions are posted, tsk tsk tsk~ I am envious enough."

Alexander continued to speak, and Zucker was still very calm.

Throughout the December Christmas schedule, the only movies that Zucker could pay attention to were Tom Tom's "Survival on a Desert Island" and Paramount's "100% Man".

As for the others?

"Beautiful Undercover", "Becoming a King", "Chocolate", "Finding Forrest"...  

Hehe, what kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp are these!

Under the film "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", what are they?

Rotten sweet potato and rotten eggs!

"Although I am full of confidence in "Harry Potter", I will never get better if I face it head-on." Zucker secretly said.

From the dozen newspapers that Alexander bought, it is enough to see how strong the Hollywood Big Six is ​​in the traditional Halloween schedule. Its advantages in media promotion and the influence of the cinema have surpassed that of Zucker too much. .

It's not that Zucker is incompetent!

But some influences take time to settle!

From November to December, Zucker felt the pressure again in terms of movies; however, when it came to selling dolls, Zucker laughed again.

The sales of Baez dolls have exploded!

Bates doll sales in November, well, to be precise, American "doll" sales, accounted for 40% of the market, second only to Mattel's Barbie's 52% share.

As soon as the news came out, it shocked America!

Mattel's Barbie dolls have always been a doll in the doll market.

But what about this November?

Only 52%!

Even though it's still number 1, it's far worse than it used to be.

"Barbie's biggest rival has appeared, and it's the Baze doll!!!" shouted a designer in the same industry.

This sentence has won the approval of many people.

The status of Barbie Doll seeking defeat is gone forever!

"Christmas is approaching. Once our Barbie dolls show a decline in sales again, the Baez dolls who come from behind will never miss this opportunity. We can't afford this shame!" Mattel CEO, facing reporters said in an interview.

" "The second is sent.
