Chapter 228: So-called dream

"In addition to producing special effects for some film companies, we also have a relatively small game department, which is also outsourcing some game game companies, but the most important thing is to produce animations for Disney. As early as '91, We signed a contract with them for three 3D animations, and we are now making the first one, but something went wrong. "Carmel explained to Adrian one by one, and passed various materials to him.
"What's the problem?" Adrian asked indifferently, though he already knew it.
"Disney's Michael Eisner is not optimistic about computer animation, so he has plans to cancel this project, and Coles, the person in charge of working with us, is trying to find a way to fight it." Carmor said, looking at Adrian, " I think you have a good relationship with Dinis, maybe you can try to convince Eisner. "
"What's your opinion?" Adrian groaned, looking at Rast, Stanton, and others.
"We think so too," Rast said after several people exchanged their eyes. "We have done a lot of work. We have drawn several boxes of paper just by setting the draft, and the script is quite complete. Produced several clips. If cancelled now, it will be a big blow for us and the development of the studio. "
Talking, these guys are really not fuel-saving lamps. Adrian said in his heart as he turned over the material of the first animated film that Rast had handed over. He smiled as he looked at the drafts in his hand, especially the cowboy and astronaut toys.
"Let's do that," Adrian said after thinking for a few minutes. "I'll talk to Michael, but I won't let him support the project, I will let him terminate the contract as soon as possible, even without a penalty. "
"Why?" Stanton asked immediately, his face full of anxiety.
"Well, Andrew, listen to Adrian's opinion first." Carmor immediately made a gesture of "be quiet and restless", and Rast gave him the same look, and then the three of them together Look at Adrian.
Giving Carmor and Rust a smile, Adrian put his hands on the table with a smile on his face and said, "I roughly checked the contract and made three with 10 million dollars." An animated movie, all the copyrights surrounding it belong to Disney, and the box office is divided into Pixars no more than 25% ... gentlemen, do you know what this means? "
A few people didn't speak, just staring at Adrian, and especially Carmel, seemed to have seen something.
"My plan is to cancel 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 into peace of mind and make it into what you want to produce. "Animated movie, and then I will arrange for release." Adrian said with a smile.
Several people looked at each other again, and they all showed an excited look. They didn't remember for a moment. Although Adrian, the chairman of the media, was not as big as the behemoth of Disney, but also had his own complete distribution channel. What this means no more to say. In addition, Adrian also expressed his strong support and gave them power completely. If you are not excited and excited, then you will encounter a ghost.
"I don't think that's okay," Carmor said immediately, and he controlled his emotions well.
But others were not so calm. Stanton yelled for the first time: "Awesome, Ed, this is the best news I've heard this year."
Recalling the questioning just now, it fits his outspoken temper.
"It looks like we changed to a similarly good boss." Rast took off his glasses and said with a sigh, and then asked Stanton jokingly: "Right, Andrew, which Ed are you calling?"
Stanton could not help but hesitated, and then several others laughed.
After a few more chats with the studio and the animated film being produced, Adrian got up and left.
"I still have a movie to shoot in New York, so I can't delay too much time," he explained, and then patted Carmor's arm again. "In short, Pixar has given you everything, Ed. . "
"No problem, Ed." Carmor nodded, then both looked thoughtful.
"I think this title is awesome, how about you?" Rast touched Stanton with his elbow and looked at Camor and Adrian with a smile.
"It's true, I think it's necessary to spread it." Stanton, who had calmed down, also smiled.
Adrian watched them shake their heads, turned and was about to leave, but turned back because of what they thought: "Yes, take the time to fax me the script of the animated movie and the overall idea, you all know, except I am a screenwriter besides being a director. There may be differences between animated movies and live-action movies, but I can still provide some advice. "
After getting in the car and leaving Pixar's studio, Adrian finally exhaled, completely relieved. 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 about your head. Apart from thinking about how to make changes to the script, it doesn't look like you need to intervene any more. Oh, by the way, the gaming department can be abolished. What I need is a studio that produces pure computer animation, not other departments. Programmers can arrange for R & D-Pixar has its own modeling software-of course, if you want to continue playing games, you can also merge into the silicon and neural key studio.
Speaking of which, the Silicon and Nerve Key Studio should also be renamed now. If Blizzard's name is registered for butterfly wings, it will be a joy.
Shaking his head, Adrian readjusted his mind, and now he has to figure out how to get the other side to accept his opinion. The current animated script is not the same as he knows, although it is also a story about toys, but cowboy Hu Di is a bitter and mean person who will only mock other people's disgusting characters, while Buzz Lightyear is a simple-minded and not called The name. Although I believe in Rast's ability, if the script is so, I am afraid it will not be welcome.
Point out the problem first and then listen to their opinions. Adrian Capricorning his chin thought so, the most important thing now is to cancel the contract with Dinness as soon as possible before Cowles convinces Eisner. Just kidding, the most profitable part of an animated film is its surroundings. Think about how much profit the surroundings of Denis have made for it. In fact, all movies are the same. Except for those that have exceeded the box office, most of the profits are in the sales of video tapes.
And Dinis actually signed such a harsh contract with Pixar, simply using Pixar as a tool, which shows that Jobs really didn't put his mind on it. Now that he is in Adrian's hands, how can he tolerate most of his interests being taken away by Dinnis? Not to mention that you already have a mature and complete distribution channel in your hands. Of course, it may be slightly worse than Dinex in distribution, but it will definitely not lose to them in terms of publicity, because when the animated film is completed, it will also should……
Stretching comfortably, Adrian squeezed the bridge of his nose, then adjusted his mind to management.
Ed Carmore's ability is unquestionable. Although Steve Jobs has provided the studio's funding, without his management and planning, Pixar would not have grown to its current scale without funding.
He first worked in technology when Denis was in Industrial Light and Magic, but after forming Pixar, he found that he was not as good as Rast and others in this area, so he turned to management and turned out to be quite good. Adrian remembers very well that although Jobs had been concurrently with Pixar in the previous life, the management was performed by Carmore from beginning to end.
Pixar can have such amazing achievements, and it has nothing to do with its maverick corporate culture, and such a corporate culture can be built, Carmor contributed.
If there are still people in Hollywood who keep their dreams and fight for them no matter what kind of failure, 90% of them are at Pixar. There are too many temptations here, too many people come with dreams, but eventually succumb to reality. But Carmor and Rast insisted on it. Although it was not related to their wholehearted pursuit of technology, they persisted after all and created a unique corporate culture that belongs only to them.
There are no subordinates, interesting workshops, pleasant and dynamic communication, and so on. It is precisely because of this corporate culture that it is possible to produce excellent animated films such as "Finding Nemo" and "Wally", which cannot be learned by other studios ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Give them, they can't make an animation like Pixar.
So Adrian maintains a respect for them. The word dream is sometimes sacred. Although some people have mediocre dreams, such as dreaming that they can eat and drink every day; but some people's dreams are full of With passion, such as Rast, they worked hard for computer animation.
This dream largely represents human yearning for good things, but it is also extremely fragile, and it may break if you touch it. Because once you are on the road to seek, then the dream is no longer a dream, and then only naked desires, such as the various plagiarism and plagiarism of Adrian.
Of course, Adrian has never denied his desire, although no one knows that he has copied plagiarism, but if he refuses to admit it, even thinks it is still a dream, then he can only say that this person has been hypocritical. Extreme. It is true that life must not be hypocritical, especially in high society, hypocrisy is a required course. But if a person is hypocritical to this point, and even dare not admit his own desires, then he will only be a thorough loser.
So he maintains a respect for them, so he will not interfere too much with Pixar's development, so he will take care of them and let them realize their dreams. ()
