Vol 2 Chapter 43: Game department movie agency

I didn't expect Pixar to have a gaming department! Angela suppressed her excitement. The corner of his mouth bent unconsciously. Although Steve and Ed told her that there were not many people in the game department, but from the fact that they had made some games for ea in the early 1990s, they knew that they had picked up treasures themselves!
"Relax! Angela, relax." The girl sat on the table with her feet up to herself and stared at the ceiling with her head on her head. After thinking for a few seconds, she sat up suddenly.
"I think I should persuade Steve to get the game department up and running as soon as possible, and then produce some games that can be sold!" Angela said to herself. She is now one of Pixar's shareholders, and there is no reason to extrapolate money-making things. Besides, she has decided to talk to her father after the release of "Toy Story". The better Pixar's performance, the more confident she is!
So is "Resident Evil" or "Tomb Raider"? Angela wrote the names of a few games on the paper, then tapped the desktop with a pen, and wrote another name—or Warcraft?
The girl thought about it, stood up a few steps to the bedside, picked up the phone, and dialed a number: "Hey Jack, it's me. I want you to find Blizzard in the afternoon. Is there something wrong?"
"You have so much to do, Angie, okay, here is a part. Would you like me to send it to you now?" Sparrow's voice was helpless.
"Don't be kidding, Jack, what time is it, let's talk about it first." Angela rolled her eyes.
"Well, this is a newly established company, formerly Chaos Studio, which was acquired at the beginning of the year and has just been renamed Blizzard. A game was released a while ago. The specific sales volume is unclear. But according to the data I surveyed, it is no less than 50 Ten thousand copies. "
"What's the name of the game?" Angela frowned.
"Chaos World is a real-time strategy game. Both sides are humans and Warcraft, which is somewhat similar to your novel background."
Chaos World? The corner of the girl's mouth was drawn straight, and she wanted to know what it was with her knees. Although she had pre-registered for Warcraft and World of Warcraft, she only seemed to let the other party change her name.
"Hey. Are you listening?"
"Oh. It's the ground." Angela returned to God. Just wanted to say nothing. But in the end it turned out to be: "Yes. Speaking of novels. Do you know how much land is sold in" Ten Stories of Azeroth "?"
"Of course. It's on sale in mid-September. It's been three weeks now. Approximately 350,000 copies have been sold. Mr. Vincent expects. At least 1.5 million copies can be bought in two months. The best-selling novels in the New York Times Ranked 69 in the list. This achievement is in a magical novel. It is already very good. "
"It sounds really good. But I want to say-I mean. If!" Angela rubbed her nose. Consider the words.
"What if?" "If I make my novel a game background. Then the game sells a lot. How much will it increase?"
"There is no precedent for this. It's hard to say. But I can calculate it according to the proportion of the surrounding area of ​​the product. How many copies of that game do you have."
"This, suppose 30 million copies are good."
"30 million? It seems unlikely, right? Well, not to mention that, if you provide conservative estimates, this book can sell an additional 5 million copies."
"... Okay, I know, it's okay. Thank you." Angela hung up the phone in a stunned tone, then covered her forehead and sighed softly: "Sure enough!"
In the eyes of the girl, this novel adapted from the classic Warcraft mission in the previous life, even if it can not be as sensational as "Harry Potter", at least it should be amazing, but now it looks like Published in her name, otherwise it would be like this.
"I made a big mistake!" Angela tapped on the phrase "Warcraft" with her cap. For a moment, she sighed and she ignored an issue. The success of the Warcraft novel is based on the fierceness of "World of Warcraft" and the huge group of fans cultivated in "Warcraft." Without this game, the novel is only Can be considered a good magic novel, after all, both "The Lord of the Rings" and "Dragon Gun" are more classic than it.
It's impossible to ask for Blizzard with one's own eyes, to unify the novel and the game, right? The girl thought of biting the pen. If it was a few days ago, this possibility was really possible, but now that I have a full understanding, I have a ready-made studio in my hand. And there is the industry's top 3D technology. Plus her own creativity --- because of "World of Warcraft", she has a fairly good understanding of "Warcraft 2" and "Warcraft 3"-why can't Blizzard say goodbye to his classics?
"Okay. Let me see the pros and cons of both sides." Angela said, and began to write down what she was thinking on the paper.
Both "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" were released in 1996. Now it is completely time-consuming to produce, and Pixar has the best 3d engine and 3d artist, and the results will definitely not be worse than the original.
However, the problem is that Pixar is still in the nightmare of losing money for ten years. Before turning to profit, even if it has its own capital injection, I am afraid that only one game can be selected for production. If you abandon these two games, wait until 1995. It only started half a year ago. It's hard to say whether there will be a conflict with the original game. This time, Toy Story, however, gave her a solid alarm.
Although this is also the case for Warcraft-"Warcraft 2" was originally released in 1995-but one thing is different, at least until the first expansion of "Warcraft 2", Blizzard did not Make relevant background settings, and "Ten Azeroth Stories" is on the best-selling list, they can no longer use this setting.
So if you really choose "Warcraft", you can combine it with the novel at the same time of propaganda, and you have your own supervision when making it, so you don't have to worry about blizzard.
"Blizzard does not rely on a" Warcraft "game to eat." Dark "and" Interstellar "are also their signatures. Think about it, there were many people in the previous life who blamed Blizzard because of the constant bounce of" Interstellar 2 ". I think taking away "Warcraft" is actually a good thing! "Angela said to herself, or simply took out all three game ideas and gave them to ceo Ed. Combining technology with experts. Comprehensive judgment of human and financial resources.
Putting this question aside temporarily, the girl continued to shoot mtv for the next few days. After "When the Wind Blows Through the Ground", the last one in the trilogy was shot: "I am here", both Directed by Chris.
It took a total of 8 or 9 days. However, Angela was less than 5 days after she actually arrived. She was originally a supporting actress, and she did n’t have a lot of roles. Except for the need to go out with Liv and the others, the others were concentrated in the studio and shot separately, and then synthesized later. So she didn't delay her studies much, but things in the community still bothered her, and Laura couldn't make it. Began lure again, such as the position of the student union.
But for Angela, who had made up her mind to ignore the student union, it was completely useless. Anyway, Laura just wants to borrow her popularity, and she already has a community goal in her heart!
This is not a spacious room. There are three cabinets standing side by side at the corner, one is filled with video tapes, one is filled with various books and materials, and the other is equipped with various shooting equipment. In particular, an older camera with film is the most striking. The tables were pieced together, and the floor was cluttered with waste paper everywhere. Through the window, you can see the school lawn.
There are 4 boys in the room. The one in the corner is a fat white young man. The swollen body is very happy and looks rather thick. He looks at the books in his hand while eating snacks; there is another bald black guy , Wearing a plaid shirt, walking around the room against the camera, shooting casually. Two people sitting on each side of the long table next to the wall were sorting out the information. One was a white guy with brown curly hair, looking very strong, and the one helping him across was a young Asian man with dark hair, glasses, and gentleness.
"Flix, where did my video go? Dammit, don't lose it, it took me a few weeks to edit it!" At this time. Another white youth broke in. Asked directly before coming to the fat ground.
"Come on, Jim! I swear I haven't touched your videotape. Maybe you forgot it?" The fat Felix said without looking up.
"Where have you forgotten? Do you think I might have forgotten it ?!" Jim waved his fingers around, looking a little annoyed, "I would never leave it outside of my backpack, if it is not inside the backpack , Then there is only one possibility! Someone took it! "
The two people who sorted out the data invariably raised their heads, shook their heads very tacitly, and then continued to sort out. The black young man who shot the photograph smiled directly at Jim, and the other party did not have any consciousness, and said viciously in the face of the camera: "I don't care who you are, as long as you let me know you took my video tape, I will definitely make you pay!"
Then he extended it and talked endlessly, until the young white male who sorted out the data looked up helplessly: "Well, Jim, in addition to your backpack, the video tape will stay in one place. "
The other person turned his head immediately: "Where ?!"
"Camera!"
Jim froze for a moment, and suddenly turned to the black youth in front of him, and the black youth realized something at this moment, and immediately smiled, but Jim didn't wait for him to take any action. After some inspections, a mourn was issued, and then he turned around and stared at the other man, snarling, "Morris!"
"Wait, man, it doesn't matter to me!" Morris yelled, and hurried toward the door, about to grab the doorknob, and suddenly there was a knock. He couldn't help but hesitated by Jim from behind, "I want you to pay! Morris!"
"Stop it, Jim, someone knocks at the door!" Morris hurriedly grabbed his hand.
"I don't care! I only pay for it!" Jim roared nervously, holding him to the corner.
The two who sorted out the data accidentally shook their heads together again, and then the young Asian man stood up and walked to the door and opened the door: "Hello, this is a movie club, who can I find?"
As soon as he had finished speaking, he froze. In front of him was a girl, about 5 feet tall, with a long curly hair curled golden on his shoulders. The emerald eyes seemed to flash at any time. The facial features not only had the beauty of Caucasian sculptures, but also the beauty of yellow ceramics. The lines were clear but not obtrusive, and there was a feeling of jade carving. A lip is her most attractive place-on the left and right corners of her upper lip. Each has a slightly rounded arc, which makes her look as if she is always smiling playfully.
The youth obviously felt he swallowed, and hesitantly asked, "Miss Angela?"
Perhaps because of his Asian face, the girl froze a little, but then smiled and said, "Yes, I am. You should have said that this is a film company, right?"
The other side froze again, and quickly nodded: "Yes. This is indeed a film company, please, come in."
Wait for the girl to enter the room. All the boys stopped their own affairs and looked at her with a little surprise. The white young man who organized the information first reacted, got up and walked in front of Angela, and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Miss Angela, I'm Louis Heller, the chairman of the film company. Excuse me, are you ... "
"Why I'm here. You know that, sir?" Angela smiled and shook hands with him.
Suddenly, Jim, who was still holding Morris, screamed, came to Angela, grabbed the girl's hand and shouted, "Are you coming to the movie club? Miss Angela! Oh my god, I am so happy Now. "Startled the girl.
Louis hurriedly pulled him away. "I'm sorry, Miss Angela. He's ... a very personal person."
"I can see." The girl smiled reluctantly. "Well. Just call me Angela."
"Well, let's find a place to sit down first." Louis smiled, greeted the girl, and motioned for the others to quickly pack up the house, move a few chairs, and sit down together.
Then, Louis began to introduce one after another: "This is Felix Doug, responsible for a series of tasks such as recording, lighting, photography, etc."
"Hello, Angela. Nice to meet you." Fatty Felix rubbed his hands his body. She stretched out and shook her, a smile on her face.
"This is Rex Yang. Responsible for art direction."
"Hello, Angela," the young Asian said briefly, shaking her hands with a smile.
"This is Morris Virgil, our photographer, and his technology is first-rate."
"I'm glad you can come here, and we look forward to working with you." The black guy spoke very well.
"As for this, you just met, Jim Ford, editor, pretty good."
"I'm so excited, Angela, you are so beautiful, I love your music, you know, the last work we entered was the one I edited while listening to" God is a girl ", which gave me a lot of inspiration, Maybe you can sing somewhere while we work and let us make something better! "Jim chattered and had no scruples, making everyone laugh hard.
"Well, Jim, as you said in the future, go to the side now." Louis pulled him away again, and then continued to face Angela, "I have just introduced myself and will not repeat it now, I'm in charge of directing. Our instructor is Mr. Calvin Conrad. He comes every day, but he's only temporarily absent.
We come here every day to discuss and produce. Every member of the society has to produce an independent short video every week, at least 1 minute. Generally, the entire society can produce 2 to 3 works, mostly documentaries. 9 Our documentary "Halloween's Campus" won the Silver Award of the California United Photographic Society in 2016, and last year's 30-minute documentary "Paleeontology Museum" was nominated for the best documentary at the High School Film Show in Tennessee and is currently being produced A documentary about school cheerleaders, I plan to participate in this year's International Amateur Film Documentary Exhibition in California. Well, this is our best documentary! "
After a pause, he asked in an uncertain tone: "So, is there any problem? Angela? Would you like to come to the film company?"
"I think I can decide." Angela said with a smile, but she frowned slightly: "But it seems that I should be the only female member of the film company?"
"What's the matter! We welcome you to come here, so you don't have to go to the members of the performance club when shooting some films!" Jim still wanted to say something, which made everyone a little awkward.
"I'm sorry, I don't think he meant that." Louis said with a grin, and he made a gesture, as if trying to strengthen his persuasion.
"It's okay, I understand." The girl smiled insightfully.
"By the way, Angela, can you do me a favor?" Louis said suddenly, with a longing in his tone.
"please say."
"We all know that you recently filmed mtv outside, and I think, can we go and see it at the scene!"
The girl was a little surprised, and she blinked: "Are you all interested in going?"
"Yes! Of course!" Several people cried immediately.
"In fact, next week I will go to Disney to direct an mtv, my own" Must Be That "mtv." Angela said with a smile. "Then, the opportunity is in front of you. How can you move me? "
