King of Hollywood Chapter 228: The so-called dream

"In addition to producing special effects for some movie companies and we also have a relatively small game department, we are also outsourcing some game companies, but the most important thing is the animation for Disney. As early as 91 At the time, we signed a contract with them for three 3D animations, and we are now working on the first one, but there is a problem." Carmor explained the Adrian one by one and handed various materials to him. .

"What's the problem?" Adrian asked quietly despite the facts.

"Disney's Michael Eisner is not optimistic about computer animation, so there is a plan to cancel this project, and the person in charge of our cooperation, Cowles, is trying to find a way to fight." Carmore said, glancing at Adrian, "I think you have a good relationship with Denis, maybe you can try to persuade Eisner."

"What do you think?" Adrian pondered, looking at Rust, Stanton and others.

"We think so," Luster said after several people exchanged their eyes. "We have done a lot of work, and we just drew several boxes of paper just for the draft, and the script is quite complete. , And several clips have been produced. If you cancel now, it will be a big blow to us and the development of the studio."

Very talkable, these guys really are not fuel-efficient lamps. Adrian said in his heart after reading the materials of the first animated film handed over by Rust. Looking at the set draft in his hand, especially the cowboy and astronaut toys, he smiled slightly.

"So," after thinking for a few minutes, Adrian said, "I will talk to Michael, but I will not let him support this project. I will let him terminate the contract as soon as possible, even if it does not require liquidated damages. ."

"Why?" Stanton asked suddenly, his face so full of anxiety.

"Okay, Drew, let’s listen to Adrian first." Carmore then made a "slightly safe" gesture, and Rast gave him the same look, and then three People looked at Adrian together.

I smiled approvingly at Carmore and Rast. Adrian put his hands on the table with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "I have roughly reviewed the contract and made it with 10 million yuan of funds. The three animated movies, the copyright of the surroundings belong to Disney, and the box office is divided into Pixar no more than 25%... Gentlemen, do you know what this means?"

A few people didn't speak, but just stared closely at Adrian, especially Carmore, who seemed to have seen something.

"My plan is to dissolve this unreasonable contract with Disney, and then I will invest 10 million for the production of this animated film. You can put all your energy at ease and make it into The animated movie you want to make, and then I will arrange for release and release." Adrian said with a smile.

Several people looked at each other again, and they all showed excitement. They didn’t think of it for a moment. Although Adrian, the chairman of the media, although not comparable to the behemoth like Dinis, they also have their own complete distribution. Channel, what this means is no longer necessary. In addition, Adrian also expressed its full support and decentralization to them. If they are not excited and excited, they will encounter ghosts.

"I think it's okay." Carmore said immediately, he controlled his emotions very well.

But others are not so calm, Stanton screamed with a punch for the first time: "Great, Ed this is the best news I heard this year"

Thinking of the questioning just now, it fits his outspoken temper.

"It looks like we have changed to an equally good boss." Rust took off his glasses and sighed, then jokingly asked Stanton: "Yes, An Drew, which Ed are you calling?"

Stanton couldn't help but stunned, and then the others laughed.

After a few more chats with the studio and the animated movie being produced, Adrian immediately got up and left.

"I still have a movie to shoot in New York, so I can't delay too much time." He explained this, and then patted Carmore's arm: "In short, everything about Pixar is left to you. , Ed."

"No problem, Ed." Carmore nodded, then both of them showed thoughtful expressions.

"I think this title is great, how about you?" Rust touched Stanton with his elbow, looking at Carmore and Adrian and asked with a smile.

"It's really good, I think it's necessary to popularize it." Stanton, who had calmed down, also smiled.

Adrian watched them shake their heads, turned around and were about to leave, but they turned back because they thought of something: "Oh, take the time to fax me the script of the animated film and the overall idea to me, you all know, In addition to being a director, I am also a screenwriter. There may be differences between animated films and live-action films, but I can still provide some advice."

After getting into the car and leaving Pixar's studio, Adrian finally let out a breath and completely rested. Today's itinerary has basically achieved his purpose, and now all he has to do is wait for Pixar to develop on his own.

Close your eyes and think for a while. In addition to thinking about how to make changes to the script, you don’t need to intervene. Oh, yes, the game department can be abolished. What I need is a pure computer animation studio, no other department. Programmers can arrange to the R&D department-Pixar has its own modeling software-of course, if you want to continue to play games, you can also merge into the silicon and neural key studio.

Speaking of this, the Silicon and Neural Keys Studio should now be renamed. If the name Blizzard Entertainment is registered by someone else because of the butterfly wings, then the fun will be bigger.

Shaking his head, Adrian readjusted his thoughts, and now he has to think about how to get the other party to accept his opinions. The current animated script is not the same as what he knows, although it is also a story of toys, but Cowboy Hudi is a bitter and harsh character who only mocks others, and Buzz Lightyear is a big, simple-minded man who does not call The name. Although I believe in their ability, I am afraid that the script will not be popular.

First point out the problem and then listen to their opinions. Adrian, with his chin in his arms, thought so. The most important thing now is to cancel the contract with Dennis as soon as possible before Coles convinces Eisner. Just kidding, the most profitable part of an animated movie is the peripherals it derives from. Think about how much profit the peripherals of Dinis have earned for it. In fact, all movies are the same. Except for those films that surpass the box office, most of the profit is on the sales of video tapes.

And Dinis actually signed such a demanding contract with Pixar, which is basically using Pixar as a tool, which shows that Jobs did not put his mind on this. Now in the hands of Adrian, how could he tolerate most of his interests being taken away by Dinis? What’s more, I already have a mature and perfect distribution channel in my hands. Of course, it may be slightly worse than Dinis in the distribution, but I will never lose to them in the promotion of the momentum, because when this animated movie is completed, Should...

Comfortably stretched his lazy waist, Adrian squeezed his nose bridge, and then adjusted his thoughts to the management.

Ed? Carmor’s ability is unquestionable. Although Jobs has always provided the studio’s funds, without his management and planning, Pixar will not be able to develop to today without funds. scale.

He first did technology when he was in industrial light and magic at Dinis, but after forming Pixar, he found that he was not as good as Rast and others, so he simply turned to management, and the result was quite good. Adrian remembers clearly that although Steve Jobs had also served as Pixar in the previous life, the management work was completed by Carmore.

Pixar can have such amazing achievements, and it has nothing to do with its unique corporate culture, and Carmor can do a lot to build such a corporate culture.

If there are people in Hollywood who still keep their dreams and struggle with them no matter what failures they encounter, 90% of them are in Pixar. There are too many temptations here, too many people come with dreams, but they finally succumb to reality. But Carmore and Last have persevered. Although this has nothing to do with their dedication to technology, they have persevered after all and have created a unique corporate culture that belongs only to them.

There is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, interesting workplaces, pleasant and dynamic communication, etc. It is precisely because of such a corporate culture that excellent animation films such as "Finding Nemo" and "Wali" can be born, which other studios cannot learn~IndoMTL.com~ Even if they give those ideas to them They can't make animations like Pixar.

So Adrian maintains a respect for them, the word dream is sometimes sacred, although some people’s dreams are mediocre, such as dreaming of being able to eat and drink every day; but some people’s dreams are Passionate, such as Rust, they worked hard to make computer animation.

This kind of dream largely represents the longing of human beings for beautiful things, but it is extremely fragile, and it may break down with a little touch. Because once the means of seeking are not compromised, the dream is no longer a dream. At that time, there are only naked desires, such as the various plagiarism and plagiarism of Adrian.

Of course, Adrian never denies his desires, although no one knows that he plagiarized plagiarism, but if he refuses to admit this, even if he thinks it is still a dream, then he can only say that this person is hypocritical To the extreme. Hypocrisy is indeed a must in life, especially in the communication of high society, hypocrisy is a compulsory course. But if a person reaches this point of hypocrisy, even if he dare not admit his own desires, then he will only be a downright loser.

So he maintains a respect for Rust, so he will not interfere too much with Pixar’s development, so he will take care of their development and let them realize their dreams. ()
