Vol 2 Chapter 57: The birth of "Toy Story"

There are a lot of things that can't be solved after finding the cause, not to mention that the reason is still unclear! Seven or eight days have passed since her birthday party, and Angela still doesn't understand what Jessica is thinking.
What is certain is that there is something entangled in Jessica, and this is also related to himself, what could this be? If you apply your original thoughts, then it means that Jessica has some unspeakable thoughts about herself, such as ... topple her? how can that be!
Angela shook her head and threw this ridiculous idea into her head. However, deep in her heart, she really expected this to be true, but reason told her that it was impossible. Anyway, if you want to find a way to let Jessica tell her story, the girl doesn't want to affect the relationship between them, tell her intuitively, if not, maybe Jessica will be lost!
At this moment, she suddenly felt that someone had poked her back, and suddenly woke up, only to find that the students in the entire classroom had set their sights on themselves, including the teacher on the podium.
"Well, I'm so sorry, I think I'm lost." Angela smiled awkwardly.
"Although I know you are very busy, Miss Angela, but I need to remind you that going on like this will affect your grade." The teacher on the podium reminded kindly that he was a Chinese named Qi Yuhan and his English name was Nai Zell, about 30 years old, wears medium-sized glasses, looks gentle, and speaks with great manners. He is said to have graduated from the Chinese Department of Shanghai Fudan University. Later he resigned to study for a doctorate in Cambridge. After two years of failure, he came to California and served as a Chinese teacher at Weber High School!
Yes, yes, Chinese is one of Angela's elective foreign language courses, and the other is French! It's shameless, isn't it? But this is also a strategy, after all, except for the sat test. The comprehensive assessment will account for half of the factors, and the elective courses will account for half of them, so why can't you choose your own?
"Well, then I repeat, Miss Angela, please complete this blank question in front of the blackboard." The Chinese teacher pointed to the blackboard and spoke again.
Angela stood up with a shrug. Her Chinese is undoubtedly the best among Chinese students who have taken Chinese. Even though there are not many people who take this foreign language, Qi Yuhan once said that her Chinese is better than most senior students, so she often chooses her to answer The problem is that this makes the girl somewhat crying.
When I came to the blackboard, after taking the chalk from the other party, I looked at the questions on the blackboard. Angela couldn't help but look at Qi Yuhan with a smile. Some level, right? "
"It doesn't matter." The other person raised his hand. "I just want to explain the difficulty of the Chinese language. If you don't think you can answer it, then you can give up. It doesn't matter."
"Really? But you might be disappointed. Sir" Angela shrugged. He smiled slyly. "Please rest assured. I will never take a ruler!"
She said looking to the blackboard. The blank question above is this: When someone wants to call him. He went out. Listed below are the characters that need to be filled in. There are three in total: self, already, and dear!
This should be a problem that can only be considered as the third grade of elementary school in China. But bringing it here is enough to make many beginners Chinese confused and even fainted. Fortunately, Angela came to answer. Otherwise, the school office will definitely add another patient!
The girl quickly filled in "already". Without hesitation. Then look towards the Chinese teacher. The other side was slightly surprised. Then applauded: "Very good. Miss Angela." The other students in the classroom also applauded. Many people are relieved. They are all ready if Qi Yuhan calls them once. Will immediately abstain.
"Thank you." Angela nodded politely to everyone. Looking at Qi Yuhan again: "Actually. If you use those four words to make a point. I think I can only abstain."
Followed her by writing down the words Wu, Xi, Rong and Qian on the blackboard. Then shrugged: "I know they have different strokes and pronunciations. But it's easy to get confused. I have to say that Chinese characters are really wonderful."
She said these two paragraphs in Chinese, even though she has never been to China in the past 14 years. But in practice she insisted in private. Still speaking perfectly, this made Qi Yuhan applaud again: "I think I will definitely give you an a + in the final grade. I believe that if there is a Chinese grade test, you can easily pass the fourth grade!"
The girl smiled and returned to her seat.
After school bells rang, students poured out of the classroom like a tide, and found their lockers one after another, packed up for social activities or went home.
Angela walked alone to the female campus. The place where she was most blame for the Chinese class was the classroom on the male campus. After every class, some male students would come to chat, senior, same grade, etc., maybe There will be lower grades later this year, which is really annoying.
The teaching method of American high schools is like this, which is basically similar to that of colleges. Students are free to go to relevant courses and classrooms instead of teachers to take classes in various classes. Therefore, apart from the compulsory courses, Angela and the few girls who met at the beginning of the school rarely Classes together, and their familiarity is not as good as those of the film company.
Opening the car door, the girl sat in and put on a good skirt. Because she had to wear a school uniform to go to school, she was almost used to wearing a skirt now. She had to say that it was really a terrible thing. Then she threw some letters from her backpack to the driver. Watch the water.
"It seems to be a lot less. Do you want me to congratulate you?" The other person looked at the letter, and threw one of them back. "This is written by your fans, not a love letter."
Angela sighed, because the school address was exposed by the reporters, and every day I received a lot of letters from fans and fans across the United States. Of course, these cannot be cleaned up like love letters, otherwise they will be known by paparazzi, and there will be What genius girl doesn't care if news such as her fans is made up.
"Well, Ryan, let's drive. I have something to do this afternoon!" The girl said after categorizing them. There was originally a movie club activity this afternoon, but she took a leave because this afternoon she Going to Pixar. Witness a new era of animation!
It took about 20 minutes to get to Pixar. Steve Jobs and everyone else in the company, ceo Ed Cam, director John Lassatt and Andrew Stanton, were already waiting for her.
The location of the screening is in the conference room, and playing with a projector can barely find the feeling of the movie. Although there are no titles at the beginning or end, the quality of the film is really excellent, and it received warm applause from the beginning.
The memory is so strange. Although it's been a long time since the last time I saw Toy Story, the familiar pictures at this moment flashed continuously in front of the eyes, and the fragments in the memory deepened again. Angela was surprised to find that the animation in front of her was at least 90% compatible with the one in her memory! It's great to know that the previous movies have a 60% fit.
Of course, this has something to do with Pixar's already completed short film animation. It is also related to the sub-shots I painted, but it is still a wonderful experience.
The video was over and the meeting room was silent for a moment. Then there was a warm applause, and the main creators hugged and cheered loudly. Angela did not hesitate to applause. She knew that whether it was Steve or Ed, John, the founders of Pixar, John No more excited than these people. Since becoming the owner of Pixar, she has a detailed understanding of the company and its predecessor experience! When she found out that the group had been studying computer animation since the late 1970s, she was taken aback. You know that personal computers were just beginning to appear! What crazy and enthusiastic people these guys should be! So Pixar's success is by no means based on chance!
"Okay, everyone." Ed stood up and clapped his hands at this time. "Thank you for so many years of hard work, and now dawn is in front of us. The era of computer animation will start from our hands and we can witness this scene. I am extremely honored to say it again and thank you for your efforts. "
Applause resounded again in the conference room.
"So. Now, please return to your position and continue working hard to complete it completely, thank you!" Ed raised his hand, and the chief creators nodded, leaving the conference room with a whistle in twos and threes, to the final meeting. Only Steve, Ed, their founders, and Angela were left in the room.
Steve took off his glasses and sighed softly, squeezed the bridge of his nose, and stretched out his hand to Angie: "Thank you, Miss Angela."
"It's nothing. I think this will be my wisest investment." The girl held him a little. Did not say more, everything is silent. In fact, even without her, Pixar would have succeeded. His capital injection only made this matter worth 12 million, and most of it was used to buy computers, adding 160 before and after! This allowed the cartoon to be initially completed at the end of March-not only took a big advantage, but also received gratitude from others, and there is nothing more cost-effective in the world!
"Well, let's talk about the next thing now." Ed coughed at this moment. "According to the current progress, we can complete all of them in about the first week of April. A screening screening can be arranged in three weeks, a series of publicity will be carried out after the film reviews are released, and then the summer file will be released. "
In fact, no one has an opinion. After all, he is a ceo, but he just sets the stage for the next Steve speech.
"I decided to list the company, about a month before the cartoon was released." Steve said this, fat John did not object, they obviously have already negotiated, and it was so formally proposed that why?
Angela was a little confused, but when they set their sights on themselves, they remembered that they still had a 40% stake! After the girl smiled wryly without any sense of the boss, she nodded quickly: "I'm fine."
Then, after searching for a handful of financial knowledge in her head, she added: "So how many shares do you want me to put on the market?"
Steve laughed: "The initial decision was to take out a total of 10% of the shares, and you and I need to split 4%, but it depends on the film's release."
"Okay, I have no problem." The girl nodded, it was just four, no big deal, "Toy Story" has more than 300 million box office, Steve is not stupid enough to continue to dilute himself in this situation Of equity.
"So, I'm leaving." Angela stood up.
There should have been 1,000 words, but I felt that it was inappropriate at the back, so I deleted it. There are only so many today, sorry) 2k novel reading network
