Chapter 316 Nostalgic Children's Chapter for Adults

There are not many companies in Hollywood that produce animated films. In addition to the well-known Disney, MGM and Warner are also major producers of animated films.It's just that MGM's "Tom and Jerry" (which seems to be distributed by Warner in mainland China and Taiwan) and Warner's "Bugs Bunny" are both animated short films. When it comes to animated feature films, Hollywood was once only Disney.Especially when Disney launched "The Lion King", it almost pushed the animated feature film to a limit.But at this Disney's most glorious moment, Pixar Studio, a subsidiary of Galaxy Animation Company, brought its own "Toy Story" to smash Disney's field.

We must know that Disney was not very optimistic about Pixar at the time, and only signed a so-called "3D animation production agreement" with Pixar for Jobs' sake.When Jade acquired Pixar, he used the honeymoon relationship between Galaxy and Disney to get Disney to abandon the agreement.At that time, Disney still laughed at Jed for buying a toy that wasted money, but he didn't expect that after "Toy Story" came out, a new era of animated movies would come.

Moreover, the Galaxy Animation Film Company seems to have been prepared for a long time. After the acquisition of Pixar, it has acquired Blue Sky Studios again.The two studios with completely different styles have brought a variety of animation films to Galaxy Animation Films, and also made Galaxy Animation Films the second largest in the world after Disney Animation Films.And many analysts believe that Disney is just relying on its own seniority.And now, in addition to Galaxy Animation, DreamWorks Animation has also put a lot of pressure on Disney.

Although the discord between the Galaxy and Disney was considered to be behind the Weinstein brothers, causing the former friends to turn against each other.But those who are familiar with the relationship between the two know that there are two fundamental reasons for the breakup between Disney and Galaxy.One is that Bowei International is unwilling to increase the share ratio of Galaxy Films. Galaxy Films, which alone supports nearly [-]% of Bowei International's profits, naturally does not want to be taken advantage of again.Another important reason is that Disney has never given up on annexing Pixar in private. Whether it is a funded acquisition or headhunting, Jed is troubled.

"Toy Story 3," the so-called final chapter in the "Toy Story" franchise, is scheduled to play at the Galaxy Theater, one of several theaters independently purchased by the Sherman Theater Company.Both Los Angeles and New York have the Galaxy Theater and the MGM Theater, but Los Angeles also has the Chinese Theater and the Kodak Theater (which has been renamed the Sherman Theater).In order to welcome the final chapter of the first computer-animated feature film in the history of Hollywood, the Galaxy Theater has undergone new renovations early on. As soon as you step into the theater, you feel as if you have entered the world of the "Toy Story" series.Woody and Buzz Lightyear's full-height dolls stood at the entrance of the theater to welcome the audience, while the Pixar logo, the Pixar lamp, stood tall at the ticket office.

Tonight was a sad and happy day for many.The sad thing is that Woody and Buzz Lightyear seem to be leaving the big screen like this, but the happy thing is that another "Toy Story" cartoon is released.And all the staff who participated in the production of this cartoon were invited to come to this premiere ceremony. Maybe some of them have left the film industry, or even switched to a rival company, but for "Toy Story", they It's all family.In addition to the former staff, many die-hard "Toy Story" fans were invited to participate in this premiere.

To the surprise of the reporters at the scene, in addition to Woody and Buzz Lightyear being the most popular photo background, the Pixar desk lamp also became the most popular photo object on the spot.As Jade's official media, the reporters of WE TV Network are the only TV media that are invited to enter the theater to shoot.A reporter asked a girl who had just entered college, "Why do you want to take a photo with the Pixar lamp? Aren't there Woody and Buzz Lightyear in the arena?"

"Wow, actually, I also like Woody and Buzz Lightyear, and of course Jesse." The female college student was a little excited, "But for me, that desk lamp has a very special meaning. I am not a happy Being a home-born girl, going to the cinema once was as much of a surprise gift to me as someone giving me an iPhone now. I watched a lot of Pixar animated films, and their stories were always It can warm me. So every time I see the naughty desk lamp at the beginning of the film, I tell myself that no matter how dark the way home is, I firmly believe that there will be such a desk lamp that will light up for me."

The reporter of WE TV Network keenly noticed that this seemed to be a person with a story, but the girl's self-protection mentality was too strong, so she left after just chatting for a few words.Before the WE TV reporter had time to regret, she discovered that Jed and John actually appeared at the premiere.As the Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Group became stronger, it was impossible for Jed to attend the premiere of every film. Often only the key films of the Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Group would attend.And bringing his partner John to attend was interpreted by film and television reporters as "this movie is the annual blockbuster of Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Group."

But this time, not only Jed and John appeared in front of the media, but even a pair of children who had been hiding behind the scenes also appeared in public for the first time.Although biologically speaking, the two children of Jed and John are not biologically related to each other, but the similar appearance and the same black hair make many reporters mistakenly think that the two are really related by blood. Relationship.It's just that Shepard's black pupil and Flora's blue eye still tell everyone that they are not biological siblings.Although this was the first time for the two children to face the reporter, their good family education made them not panic. Instead, they accepted the photographer's photo opportunistically and generously.Jed and John also know that it is impossible to separate their children from the world forever, so it is better to accept this reality within a controllable range.Fortunately, the law and order in the United States is not bad, and there are quite a lot of bodyguards around the two children.

In fact, when "Toy Story 3" was announced, "Shrek 4" had just been defeated by "Kung Fu Dream" and "Dragon's Secret Service". "Dragon Agents" can be regarded as old wine in new bottles, but it is still a work; although "Kung Fu Dream" also borrowed the name of the old work, the content in it has made many breakthroughs.Jed admires Will Smith's fatherly attitude. In order to make his son famous, he not only bought the copyright of "Tough Kid" ("Kung Fu Dream" is the free translation of the title of the distribution company), but also invited Chinese movie stars with the highest salary. A high-ranking Jackie Chan played a supporting role in his son's movie.From project approval to filming, the entire film was intended to be popular in China before being sold back to the United States. This is the same as Backstreet Boys who first became popular in Europe and then returned to the United States.

It's a pity that the movie "Kung Fu Dream" is really a bad script, and it has been completely reduced to a second- and third-rate movie in China. Not only are Chinese film critics dissatisfied, but American film critics even ridiculed Will Smith for his strange vision.Of course, this movie can be remembered by Jed because Will Smith deliberately picked a little red star Justin Bieber from his record company to sing the theme song.In fact, Jed doesn't know why little JB is favored by the producer of his record company, but Jed will not be so stupid as to give up this future sales king.Because of the joining of little JB, Jed suddenly moved his mind and directly made a list, asking to sign LadyGaGa, Katy Perry, Adele and Taylor Swift.Jed wasn't worried that these people would refuse at all, just because he had MJ in his record company, wouldn't these newcomers come to worship the great god?What's more, he has also made a lot of stars like Britney Spears and Aguilera.

As the lights dimmed, Toy Story 3 began.In the story, the owner of the toys is already in college, and he is faced with the choice of leaving home to go to college, and these toys will naturally be shelved.At the very beginning of the story, it gave everyone a very sad beginning. Many people are also asking themselves, are those toys that they put on the shelf okay?As the story went wrong, the rest of the toys were mistaken for being abandoned, so they asked to go to Sunshine Kindergarten in a rage.However, Woody's repeated persuasion was fruitless, so he had no choice but to follow him to Sunshine Kindergarten.Sunshine Kindergarten seems to be a good home for the toys, but to everyone's surprise, Pink Bear has established an underground force here... So the main theme of the story is that the toys escape from Pink Bear's claws, There are also various situations on the way to escape.Especially when Woody rescued the pink bear, he refused to save it and let the toys fall into the incinerator...

Of course, since it's a cartoon, and it's still G-rated, there aren't any toys in the show that are outright ruined.The toys were rescued by alien dolls, and Pink Bear seemed to have met a master who really loved him.At the end of the story, some of the toys were sent to a child’s home, and the task of accompanying them to grow up was restarted; on the other hand, Sunshine Kindergarten really had sunshine, and the toys here were also very happy.

"This is not a fairy tale for children, but for grown-ups," veteran film critic Jeffrey Jeff wrote in the Los Angeles Times. "A cautionary tale for young men just coming of age. It’s so beautiful in your imagination, even the world of toys; and for old men who have already married and started a business, it’s a famous saying, do you remember those toys that you abandoned? For Jed Sherman, The toys in his script are probably more than just toys. It represents the friends, ideals and love that you keep abandoning on the road to success. If you have succeeded, do you regret it?"

"Toy Story 3" became the weekend box office champion with a score of 1.1 million U.S. dollars in its first weekend; "Toy Story 3" still led the weekend box office with $5900 million.It wasn't until the third week that another Sherman Films Entertainment Group summer blockbuster, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," broke "Toy Story 3's winning streak."However, this movie is still proud of itself in the Asian market. After all, this kind of warm-hearted animation that the whole family can watch will not offend anyone, and the distribution company loves it when it hits the children's summer vacation.

But just when Jed thought everything was going well, he suddenly received a call from the publisher, "Mr. Sherman, we have very sorry news to inform you that the fourth part of "Twilight" "Eternal Day" Some chapters leaked..."
