King of Hollywood Chapter 216: 2 difficult

"Welcome to Pixar Studio, Ed." As soon as Adrian arrived at the door of Pixar Studio, Jobs came out to greet him. At the same time, two people came out together. A chubby man is very rich, a skinny with a beard, all three interesting people are wearing glasses, and their height is almost the same, so it looks very interesting.

After Steve Jobs’ introduction, Adrian learned that the rich man in a plaid shirt and fat shorts was John Rast, Pixar’s chief creative officer; while the monochrome shirt and trousers were worn with sandals on their feet The middle-aged man who doesn't trim is Ed? Carmore, Pixar's technical director.

"Nice to meet you." Adrian smiled and shook hands with them one by one. These two guys who will be called "Pixar's core and soul" in the future still look relatively young.

"Let's talk while we walk." Jobs gestured a please, then four men and one woman walked inside.

The current Pixar studio is still very crude and looks pretty good, but in some ways it may not be as good as some small studios. Every workroom is disorganized. Various items—private and public—are everywhere. The only thing commendable is that it maintains at least the most basic clean environment.

Employees are always talking about the issue, and arguing that no one is persuaded. Moreover, sometimes two people use a computer, God is on the job, but Jobs is a personal computer. In addition to these, you can also see things that are not seen in other companies or studios, such as -

"Hey, those in the front, please let a hand out," a voice shouted from behind, Adrian looked back, then pulled Charlize to the wall, and the three of them were also Do the same.

"Thank you." The young man on the skateboard, who was galloping in the aisle, scraped past Adrian with a smile.

"Here, everyone is more casual, and we don't want to use too many boxes to frame everyone," Carmore explained.

"You can see it." Adrian nodded recklessly

At this time, another round-faced employee waved the sketch and ran to Luster: "John, what are you doing?"

"What's the matter, Ann Drew?" Rast took a puzzled picture from him

"I didn't say that to you at first, here, here, and here did not meet the initial settings," An Drew looked a little annoyed, "What the **** are you doing, John? In this case, it might as well Leave all the original paintings to me to set"

"Okay, okay, can I apologize?" Rust said, seeing something wrong.

"This is Ann Drew? Stanton, a very good animator and programmer." Carmore introduced this opportunity.

The young man named An Drew found out that there were still customers. He immediately reached out and greeted when he introduced Adrian in Carmore, but his attention was obviously on the animation. After saying a few words, he said welcome afterwards. Look at Rust.

"On this issue, Ann Drew, shall we talk about it later?" Rust said at the end. "Of course, if there are several errors here and the same errors, you can follow your own. Modification of views."

"Thank you, so be it." An Drew left without looking back.

"Our employees here are not divided into superiors and subordinates, which can improve work efficiency." Carmore continued to explain.

"It can be seen." Adrian still said nonchalantly.

After visiting the studio, a few people came to the meeting room to introduce Carmel and Last to take turns to introduce the history of Pixar and the situation in the past few years. By the way, several short animated films were produced. For example, "Little Tin Soldier" and "Jumping Lights", Adrian also took this opportunity to play a few joke to narrow the distance.

For example, after the broadcast of "Jumping Lights", he deliberately showed a contemplative look, pointing to the picture and asking Rust seriously: "John, can you tell me, is the lamp in the movie a father or a mother?"

Last was stunned, and then he laughed and replied: "No, it's just a child."

Then Jobs and Carmore laughed. There is an allusion here. After Pixar’s first short film "Jumping Lights" was released, the film had just been screened. It is a well-known computer graphics field. The professor knew that John Rust wanted to ask him a question. Although Rast had accumulated a lot of production experience at the time, after all, it was the first time to direct an animated film, and it was still an animated film, so he suddenly became very nervous, because in his opinion there was too much technology in this short film Mistakes and deficiencies, if the other party asks him technical questions, such as which data is calculated incorrectly, he really does not know how to answer. But what he did not expect was that the computer expert asked seriously, "Is the lamp in your movie a father or a mother?"

Yes, that's the question Adrian just asked, so several people laughed, and the atmosphere became more harmonious. Adrian also took the opportunity to tell the other party implicitly that he already knew Pixar.

"Thank you for your warm hospitality, I have to admit that this harvest is not small." Adrian said to the three important people before leaving, and then gave Steve a look, Steve Jobs will give him one Get in the car.

"I already have some ideas, and I will reply to you as soon as possible." Adrian said to him in this way, his face was calm and no other expression, and after the other party understood, he shook hands with him and said goodbye to the car.

Although it is not perfect, this is indeed the Pixar he wants, but Rust and Carmore seem to be enthusiastic, but they don’t seem to be happy to change bosses. They hide this emotion very well, but Adrian still saw it.

Think about it too. Jobs supported them when they were the most difficult, and he still supports them until now. He knows computers and technology and understands their dreams. If they are replaced by other people, God knows what will make Pixar become. Of course, Adrian's attitude of always maintaining non-compliance is also one of the reasons. It's just that he has to do this. He doesn't want Jobs to see what he sees in his expression, and then he sits on the floor and starts from the floor.

It's okay, I just need to find a chance to talk to them in the future, and I won't interfere with them anyway, as long as Rust and Carmore are there... Oh, and An Drew? Stanton. Adrian thought so, glanced at Charlize sitting quietly beside him, and suddenly asked, "Charlie, what do you think of Pixar?"

"I?" Charlitz raised her eyebrows unexpectedly. Since arriving at Pixar's studio, she has kept a low profile, and like all assistants, she has become transparent when the boss discusses things.

"Yes, talk about your opinion, I believe you should observe more carefully." Adrian smiled slightly.

Charlize was also polite, took a few seconds to sort out his thoughts, and then said: "Because I don’t know much about many things, and the time you give to collect information is too short, so just from On the surface, talk about my feelings. Their technical strength should be good, otherwise they will not be praised by many people, and they have received so many awards, so what they need now is a full-length animation that can fully demonstrate their strength."

"Excellent." Adrian patted twice and had to admit that Charlize was indeed very smart, otherwise she would not achieve that kind of achievement in her memory. In this way, it seems good to arrange a different life for her?

"Have you ever thought of appearing in a movie, Charlie?" Adrian suddenly asked.

"Starring in a movie?" Charlize looked at Adrian inexplicably. She didn't understand why the topic suddenly jumped from Pixar to acting in a movie.

"Yeah, you are so beautiful and so clever, as long as I am there, you can become a big star." Adrian said with a smile, full of temptation in his tone, "Neither get the best actress Oscar." It will be difficult."

Charliez was a little bit emotional at first, but after Adrian said the following words, his expression immediately became vigilant, and his body also leaned back slightly, as if asking you what conspiracy you had.

"I'm serious, Charlie, you have all the conditions to become a big star." Adrian said, reaching out and hanging on her face, regardless of whether Glover was still driving in front.

"Thank you, but it's still free." Charlize smirked and refused, gray and green eyes shining, telling Adrian unmistakably: Don't try to control me

Adrian immediately put on a "sad" expression: "Oh, you know, Charlie..."

"I have a question about Steve Jobs," Charlie said before he could continue. "Although the information shows that he invested a lot in Pixar~IndoMTL.com~ It is far from enough to invest in NeXT Computer Company. Does this mean that he does not pay much attention to Pixar? If you want to buy it, maybe you can work on it."

"I want to say one more thing, Charlie, you are excellent." After a few seconds of silence, Adrian said this. Although he knew this, but at that time, because he had the advantage of "foreseeing", Charlize was Based on the information in hand, such an inference is made. Although there may be other factors, it is enough to see how smart she is.

Then, Adrian fell into thought, but he was not thinking about how to lower the price. He was thinking about the difficult things that had been thought of before because of the words of Charlize: how to buy Pixar?

This should be a very simple matter. It costs only tens of millions to be bought from Steve Jobs. He also said that as long as the price is right. But there is another plan in Adrian's mind, that is to inject 10 million yuan, and share the shares of Pixar with Jobs.

Of course, for many people, if they are fancy with something, and such a thing is also important to their own development, they definitely want to hold it all in their hands. Adrian thinks the same way, but there is one thing he can't be sure, that is, how much did Pixar's success play in the process of Jobs' return to Apple? ()
