Chapter 324 Another summer vacation

The movie is gradually approaching its end. Like all mainstream Hollywood movies, it will always be infinitely close to mainstream values, and "The Crisis of the Bug" is naturally no exception.

Through a group of insects, it fully demonstrates its value orientations such as responsibility, unity and freedom. Despite some preaching suspicion, Pixar Studio has integrated these excellent things into the movie through some interesting scenes, making the audience laugh happily while unknowingly worried about the fate of these insects.

Good people will always defeat bad people, and bad guys will never have a good ending.

After all, this is a movie of all ages, and the ending is almost a Hollywood convention.

Faced with the oppression of the grasshopper leader Overlord, Felix mustered up the courage to stand up and proved with his own words and actions that little ants can also do big things. The ant kingdom is united and bravely resists. The grasshoppers, which are too fewer than them, are no match for them at all, and can only escape in a hurry.

The Overlord was unwilling to fail and caught Felix, but was introduced into the bird's nest by the little ant, which eventually became a meal in the belly of the young bird.

The plot of the movie is not complicated, and it inherits the style of "Toy Story". While it makes people feel fun, it also brings something worth thinking about.

In addition to these, the most eye-catching thing is the picture. This animated feature film has many detailed scenes. It can be seen that Pixar Studio has made great progress in technology after "Toy Story", and that group of idealists have never been willing to slow down.

"All dolls need a whole set..."

Walking out of the screening hall, Taylor stood in the place where the surrounding products were sold. After looking at Christine and Scarlett, she quickly changed her words, "No, I need three sets!"

"Dear, I remember you took a lot of it from Pixar." Ryan asked in surprise.

"That was given to me by Director Lasett and Mr. Kamur. Haven't you given it yet?" The little girl was full of misunderstandings.

Ryan had to open his pocket and asked Natalie beside him, "Do you need it, Nat?"

The girl from Long Island held Taylor and shook her head firmly.

"Okay, it's time for us to leave, otherwise we will be entangled by reporters after the press conference."

After several bodyguards picked up a bunch of dolls, Ryan walked towards the back door with a group of people, and suddenly remembered something. "Taylor, don't you need to attend a press conference?"

"Nat said those guys were annoying, so I didn't want to go." The little girl turned her eyes, letting go of Natalie, walked to Ryan, and said pitifully, "I'm hungry..."

"I'll go back to the hotel soon and order takeout when the time comes." Ryan pulled her and speeded up.

"No. I'm going to the restaurant on the top floor of the Empire State Building." The little girl curled her mouth.

The summer season has just begun, and the works of various film companies have been released one after another, and many of them have sold well at the box office, and there are more movies traveling a week or even three-day tours in theaters. For example, "Looking for Camillo City" produced by Warner Bros., which invested more than 40 million yuan, was released one week earlier than "Save Private Ryan", but the box office results were extremely miserable. Even though Warner invested a lot of resources in the future, there was still no improvement. After the release of "The Crisis of the Bug", the animated film was dismal.

Fortunately, the copyright overseas was sold in advance and some investment could be recovered.

The first large-scale animated feature film in the summer season suffered a crushing defeat, which made many people worry about the prospects of "The Crisis of the Bug".

Moreover, compared with the amazingness of "Toy Story", professional media did not give this animated feature film too high. They believed that Pixar Studio has made obvious progress in technology, but lacked in storylines.

Of course, whether it is the producer Pixar Studios or the distributor Paramount Pictures, the advance publicity and public relations work is done very well. Many of the total budget of 100 million US dollars are thrown on this. After the vague criticism, most mainstream media basically believe that 'this is definitely a movie worth the fare, and it is worth watching with the whole family in the theater.'

Ryan's team also made a key recommendation on the movie on his personal website. Although this movie has flaws, it has more flashes.

Three days after the first week, "The Crisis of the Bug" won more than 35 million US dollars in North America. This is a very good result for an animated feature film. Even if it did not win the throne of the North American weekly box office rankings, it would be enough to make Pixar Studios feel relieved.

You know, "Save Private Ryan" is the top player in the North American box office rankings, but after the second week of the entire movie, although the box office of this movie has declined, it still stands out for all the movies of the same period with a box office of more than 43 million US dollars.

This is a very normal phenomenon. The paradox of saving eight people in "Save Private Ryan" has triggered widespread discussion in North America and can naturally attract a large number of viewers. The big part of the revenue of "The Bug Crisis" is not in the box office, and various derivatives are the main sources of profit.

Although the main character of "The Crisis of Bugs" is a not very popular bug in reality, the cute image in the movie still attracts a large number of people to pay for it.

Ryan has no intention of leaving New York for the time being, and many things are still waiting for him to deal with. After reading the planning of the "X-Men" series at Marvel Comics and giving a few simple comments, he took two sloppy little girls to the car and came to the Blue Sky Studio.

"Let me think about it, comics, dolls, electronic models, God, Christine, we didn't sweep the amazing warehouse."

Sitting next to Ryan bored, Taylor was still complaining to his companions, "The squirrel that Blue Sky just made is very good. Kristen, remember to remind me to bring more when leaving."

"Well~ This is a good idea." The little girl with short brown hair pointed her head hard.

"Dear two little ladies, the squirrel has just confirmed its image and has no related products."

Ryan saw Chris Wedge sitting opposite him and seemed to be trembling, so he had to say, "Sorry, Chris, they are too naughty."

"This is Scott's genius daughter, right?" Unexpectedly, the reputation of this little girl actually spread to New York.

"Do you know my dad?" Taylor's royal blue eyes turned around, as if he was making an idea again.

“We are good friends.”

Hearing the other party say this, Taylor stuck out his tongue and became much quieter.

"Don't worry about them, let's continue." Ryan signaled the two little guys to be quiet.

"We intend to use squirrel to lead the whole story. We have identified three animal protagonists, sloth Sid, hairy elephant Manny, and saber-toothed tiger Diego. We have just seen the general image of the animal. Ryan, you agree with it. As for the specific storyline, the screenwriter team is currently stepping up writing."

Chris Wedge took a big sip of coffee and continued, "According to the plan, we will start the official animation production in September, which is scheduled to be completed in two thousand years, and the release matters..."

As he said that, he looked at Ryan.

"I will have someone contact the right publisher." Ryan nodded.

Ryan didn't intervene in Blue Sky Studio's "Ice Age" plan. Just like Pixar Studio, he would only give some suggestions to avoid detours. These two top animation studios in the future will be just developed according to the normal trajectory.

What he provides is the most financial help.

No one wants "Ice Age" to be successful than Chris Wedge, who is from Blue Sky Studio. When Ryan acquired them, Blue Sky Studio and Pixar Studio were nicknamed two ugly ducklings. Now Pixar has achieved great success, so they naturally want to completely transform into white swans.

Even though Blue Sky Studio proved its technical ability through "Titanic", it still cannot be considered successful without independent works.

After staying in the Blue Sky Studio for half an afternoon, Ryan left. In the car, two little girls hugged the dolls plundered from surprise, smiling so hard that their eyes could hardly be found.

"Don't you go back to the hotel?" Ryan asked.

"What are you going back to do? The little fat girl is back to Los Angeles." Taylor looked over strangely, "Do you want us to go back and play with that pink goblin? I don't want it. She is too naive and naive!"

Childish? Naive? Are you sure you are not talking about yourself?

Ryan was too lazy to argue and continued to ask, "Then send you to Nat."

"She wants to study the script." Taylor's face showed a look of fear, as if he remembered something extremely terrifying, "Even if he goes, he will have to have supper. The dishes made by Nat can poison people."

"Well~ It's so scary." Another girl nodded.

Is it so scary? Ryan knows Natalie's cooking skills, so he never tastes the food she cooks, and these two little girls are likely to be her testimonials.

Nat, you actually used your child to do evil human experiments and will never let you go another day. Many inappropriate scenes appeared in Ryan's mind.

"That... By the way, Ryan, "Mulan" is about to be released. Are we going to watch it?" Taylor's eyes were filled with desire. She had always been interested in cartoons that sang and made noise like "The Lion King".

"We shouldn't increase the box office for Disney." Christine expressed her opinion as rare.
