Chapter 452: 453

Simon takes maternity leave with Janet, but the end of the year schedule doesn't stop.

The day before the baby was born, the second week of Thanksgiving officially ended.

The three new films released on November 29, Columbia Pictures' baby lover, MGM's golden eye of 007, and Denise Entertainment's crime thriller fear corner, starring Robert De Niro who took over from universal, did not pose much threat to toy story.

November 29 to December 5.

In seven days, toy story's box office fell by 23% in the next week after reaching $46.73 million in the first week, and then received another $35.93 million, continuing to maintain its top position in the weekly box office list.

In two weeks, the cumulative box office of the first 3D animated film in Hollywood history has reached $82.66 million.

According to the ladder sharing rules signed by danielis entertainment and the cinema, the company can share more than 70% of the box office two weeks before the film starts.

This means that the two-week North American box office of $82.66 million is enough for Denise entertainment to recover the total production and publicity budget of $55 million.

Considering the long-term nature of animated films and the inevitable rebound in the next Christmas season, toy story's North American box office is likely to reach US $200 million, becoming the third North American film with a total box office exceeding US $200 million after Batman: Dark Knight and Terminator 2 in 1991.

Not only the box office, but also the peripheral products of toy story continue to sell well.

With the current peripheral sales momentum, it is generally predicted in the industry that toy story's box office in North America may be only $200 million, but the comprehensive income brought by this project to danilisi entertainment may be higher than Batman: Dark Knight.

After all, Denise entertainment and Time Warner want to split the profits of Batman: The Dark Knight equally. Toy story, however, is completely owned by Denise entertainment.

With the success of the film, "Toy Story 2" directly announced the project.

"Lion King 2", which has been put into production, has suddenly attracted more attention from Hollywood.

The success of DC movie universe has just triggered a wave of trend of discovering comic IP in recent years. Suddenly, Hollywood's eyes have to be attracted by 3D animated movies again.

However, after a little investigation, many people regretfully find that it is more difficult to follow up Denise entertainment to make 3D animated films than Disney to make 2D animated films.

In Hollywood for so many years, only Disney has gained a firm foothold in 2D animated films.

Just like that, when Michael Eisner took over Disney a few years ago, he also planned to dismiss the declining 2D animation department, because Disney's classic animation, which has been continuously re released in recent years, has won a good box office, and Disney's animation department began to recover under the leadership of Jeffrey carsenberg, so Disney gave up the idea.

Before danielis entertainment, when it comes to animated films, the only thing you think of is Disney. Only Disney has produced a series of very successful 2D animated films.

Animation films, including the surrounding such a big cake, of course, other studios have been trying.

MCA, which also operates theme park business, has been making similar attempts for many years in order to make up for its shortcomings in animation IP. In the 1980s, MCA produced 2D animation films such as "little foot walking the world" and "American mouse Tan", but there has been no project comparable to Disney's classic 2D animation.

For 2D animated films, the long production cycle can be said to be the most critical factor affecting other studios to participate in this field.

Because the 2D animated films of this era are all drawn by animators one by one.

According to the length of 90 minutes of animated film, 90 minutes, 5400 seconds, 24 frames per second, which means 24 manuscripts, a total of 129600. This is only a theoretical number. Considering the errors, abandoned manuscripts, modification and other factors, in fact, the number of drawings to be drawn in each animated film is far more than the theoretical number.

However, mature animators can only draw 10 to 20 manuscripts a day. In addition, in order to maintain the unity of animated film style, the number of teams in an animated film should not be too many.

Therefore, before the 1980s, the production cycle of traditional Disney hand-painted 2D animated films was as short as four years.

However, even so, if 2D animation films are willing to spend money and patiently invest, the threshold is still not too high. There are still many animation talents in the world.

In contrast, the threshold of 3D animation film is obviously too high.

It's just a software and hardware system for making 3D animated movies. In this era, danilisi entertainment is absolutely the only one with no other branch.

Denise entertainment has been leading the industry for at least five years in 3D animation software, image rendering software and even the world's first rendering farm.That is to say, it takes five years to make up the gap. If you want to launch a 3D animated film, it will take at least two years, which is seven years.

What's more, after spending tens of millions of dollars for seven years, no one can guarantee the success of a movie.

In the original time and space, toy story was born in 1995, when similar 3D animation software appeared in the industry.

Even so, after toy story, other companies' successful blockbuster 3D animated films, such as DreamWorks's Shrek the monster, or fox's ice age, are all after 2000.

The interval is generally more than five years.

In the future, lighting and entertainment came into being more than ten years after toy story was born.

Now in 1991, because of the limited market capacity, cartographic software companies such as Autodesk have no plans to develop 3D animation software.

Not only that, other studios, even if they recruit talents from danielis entertainment to form their own teams with high salaries, need to consider technology patents in addition to risks in terms of time and capital.

Danielis entertainment has applied for a series of patent barriers to build a "moat" in 3D animation software, rendering software and even various hardware facilities. Some core technical talents have also signed a competition agreement with danielis entertainment. Once they resign, they will not be allowed to engage in related professions for at least three years.

In a word, unless Denise entertainment is willing to take the initiative to let go of the restrictions on technology and talents, there will not be a second studio in Hollywood to produce 3D animated films in a short time except Denise entertainment.

Simon certainly won't let go of his technology.

Therefore, as long as it is properly managed, the 3D animation film market will be monopolized by danielis entertainment throughout the 1990s.

After toy story, the box office runner up in the second week of Thanksgiving was taken away by 007's golden eye.

Although the protagonist is still Timothy Dalton, under the steady MGM management team and Simon's close attention, the quality of "golden eye of 007" is significantly higher than that of previous films, and the production cost has reached $50 million.

In the first week, 007's golden eye won $32.79 million at the box office, which was not as good as Batman: Dark Knight, Terminator 2, toy story and other blockbusters this year, but it also met MGM's expectations.

you know, the previous 007's killing license only made $34.66 million at the box office in North America.

"007's golden eye" was only released in a week, and the box office accumulation has been equivalent to "007's license to kill".

However, the media reputation of 007's golden eye is only about 7 points, which is not very good. According to various data feedback of the film, although it has a good start in the first week, it is still quite difficult for the total box office in North America to exceed 100 million.

Considering the production budget of 50 million US dollars and the publicity expenditure of 20 million US dollars, if you want to recover the cost, you have to rely on the performance of the overseas market.

Third on the list is Paramount Pictures' the Adams family.

In the second week, the box office of "the Adams family" fell by 33%, with another $20.88 million, reaching $52.05 million.

According to such a box office curve, whether the box office in North America can break 100 million is still in the middle.

Columbia Pictures invited Macaulay Calkin to star in "baby girl", the first week box office $14.27 million, ranking fourth.

The production cost of US $30 million was US $14.27 million in the first week, which obviously did not meet the expectations of Columbia Pictures. The film's reputation was also unsatisfactory, with a total score of only about 5.6 points.

For a "consumer style" holiday comedy, Macaulay Calkin's popularity did not attract enough audience in the first week of the film, and it is even more difficult for too many people to pay attention to the film, so the box office prospect can only be said to be average.

Danylis entertainment took over "horror corner" from Universal Pictures, with a box office of $14.21 million in the first week of its painting, lagging behind "baby girl" by a very small margin, ranking fifth in the box office list of the week.

The remake of the crime thriller, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert De Niro, has a budget cost of $35 million.

The opening box office of US $14.21 million was also less than expected. However, the film's reputation is very good, and it is expected to walk out of a pretty box office curve.

In addition to Hollywood, on Monday, December 2, igritte officially announced the list of World Wide Web patents that it plans to open free of charge.

Although the news has been flying all over the world in advance, when igritte company really started to implement, it caused a strong wave in the industry.

The media's comments on the whole incident vary.

In the general direction, many media highly appreciate igritte's decision. However, some media have raised objections, saying that Denise Entertainment's doing so is tantamount to completely eliminating the possibility of the birth of broad Internet technology standards in the second week.Moreover, although igritte has opened the core patents related to HTTP to HTML and other technologies, it still controls technologies such as browser software, e-mail, online payment and so on. Therefore, the latecomers in the industry are doomed to be unable to compete with Denise entertainment in many aspects.

Simon does not intend to prevent the same type of enterprises from competing with igritte. It is planned that in the next few years, even patents such as e-mail technology will be gradually authorized by igritte.

However, after the publication of the patent list this time, igritte did not rush to announce the second stage plan because of the praise or doubt from the media.

As long as we carefully study the list of patents that have been published, interested people will find that after the opening of these patents, most of the businesses that igrit portal is involved in at this time, including online forums, personal blogs, online games and so on, can be followed by other companies without too many restrictions.

This degree of openness has exceeded most people's expectations, and it is impossible for the industry to have more extravagant expectations for a while.

Janet was discharged from the hospital three days after giving birth to the baby.

The johnstons also stayed in Los Angeles for about a week before they left one after another. Janet hoped that her family would spend Christmas together in Los Angeles, but it was obviously not realistic. The johnstons have a lot to deal with.

Veronica Johnston stayed in Los Angeles until the end, just like she was in the ward on the day she arrived.

Janet originally hoped that Veronica would help to look after the children. Originally, she hoped to arouse Veronica's desire for family through the little guy. However, during this period of time, Janet obviously found that things seemed to deviate.

My aunt really loves little Melbourne.

It's just that there's something wrong.

Living in Los Angeles these days, Veronica will come to look after the children every day. She likes to hold the little guy for a long time.

Sometimes, Janet felt as if her aunt was going to take the baby away and raise it as her own child.

That's weird.

In private also joke, if you like children, then find someone to give birth to a ah.

Veronica didn't listen to such words at all.

Therefore, some doubts are inevitable in my heart.

However, no matter how smart Janet is, it's hard for her to think of things in some aspects. This is almost a dead angle level of thinking. Unless she is involved in it personally, it's hard to understand. Otherwise, Jennie would not have misunderstood Simon and her aunt.

Janet has never been a tangled person.

Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it.

Anyway.

Whatever.

Some little guy has been born. After this, he doesn't want to have a second child.

It's a disaster.

What's more, for Janet, the happiest thing after the baby is born is that she can sleep in all kinds of positions at will.

Janet likes to cuddle Simon in bed.

However, for most of the past six months, she felt that there was a "third party" between herself and Simon.

Of course, getting back in shape is also on the agenda.

And jobs before pregnancy are starting to pick up again.

Westerners don't have the habit of confinement. A week after the birth of the child, several leaders of cersei capital came to Los Angeles one after another to report to Janet personally about the operation of the company in the past six months, and they also brought a lot of information.

The uneasiness and impatience of late pregnancy also disappeared.

Simon found out from this that Janet's psychological quality is much stronger than him.

All in all, after the baby was born, Janet was like a spirit who had been released from the seal, and almost immediately regained her vitality before she became pregnant.

As for a little guy, he is regarded as a treasure by everyone. It's not too much to use the phrase "hold it in your hand for fear of falling, hold it in your mouth for fear of melting". Janet, as a mother, doesn't need to worry too much.
