Vol 3 Chapter 53: Unchanged idea

The afternoon sunlight was sprinkled through the floor-to-ceiling window with a film splashing in the cafeteria-& net--lighting, the employees of the Pixar animation game department sitting in pairs by the small round table while drinking afternoon tea and discussing Among the problems, some of them talked about people who left for unused refreshments and quickly left for work after inspiration came.
This is the working environment of Pixar. Although it is only a glimpse of the leopard in the tube, it fully reflects the casual but enthusiastic characteristics.
But no matter who is discussing in the restaurant at this time, you must glance at the floor-to-ceiling window on the right, because the queen of the film department is sitting there with her two friends.
Yes, the queen of the movie department, which is the nickname of Angelaqi, an employee of the animation department in private.
Because Angela, who hasn't held any position in the film department, has the right to say nothing about production! As for why, look at the little golden man who got it the day before yesterday.
Although this is not the first time Pixar has won an Oscar trophy, but which other movie company or film department has won the best movie in less than three years? Not to mention that the box office sales produced in the past two years are almost related to her, thus making Pixar more powerful.
The animation department has only produced an animated movie since "Toy Story", and although the box office is good, there is not much profit.
Even if the animation department does not make money from animated movies.
But these arrogant animators will inevitably feel a little bit aggrieved and depressed when talking about Angela.
Although Angela doesn't know her ridiculous nickname, she still knows one or two about the animator's mind, because here is Pixar, where any employee can pull the supervisor to discuss his creativity.
And even if it wasn't clear before, I could understand it after talking to Roger.
In fact, this is not a big deal. Unlike those masculinities outside, they care about Pixar's roots in animation. As a result, animation is still the main direction of development, but the movie department is inadvertently located in this place, and the visitors are even faint. The tendency to replace it will be a little emotional for anyone who faces this situation.
However, Angela is not thinking about giving them a psychological counseling class anyway, anyway, she has a lot of ideas, John, they are all very clear, and the current situation is bothering her.
"Do you need another banana boat? Lindsay?" Angela held her face, stirred the cold drink in her glass with a straw, and asked the little girl in front of her eyebrows.
"Can you take another point?" Lindsay, who deliberately held her spoon against the ice cream, lifted her head, looked at Angela with a smile, her eyes moved a few freckles and her cheeks The ice cream on the other side is interesting.
"No doors!" Angela snorted immediately.
"Well, Lindsay, you have eaten enough."
Jessica, sitting next to Angela, smiled and shook her head.
"But Anji said just now that I want to eat as much as I want."
Lindsay Zhenzhen said eloquently, at the same time, she scooped a large piece of ice cream with a spoon like a demonstration, and then slowly fed it into the mouth of the boss. The whole action was like a slow motion in a movie, and it was obviously intentional.
"Yes, I did, but I didn't expect you to have two customers, God, now it's still March, and you're not afraid of stomachaches!" Angela rolled her eyes and said angrily.
"But the outdoor temperature has reached 70 degrees Celsius.
Isn't it right to eat ice cream? Besides who made them make the banana boat so interesting. "
Lindsay shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's a knife that killed someone, go find a knife and don't look for me".
Because Pixar's relaxed atmosphere and even the food provided by the restaurant are unique and have a lot of fun, Angela can only roll her eyes over Lindsay's excuse again.
"I wish she was my sister."
Angela whispered in Jessica's ears and whispered, and then added after the other party's incomprehensibility: "Then I can press her on the ground without any hesitation!" Jessica grinned and looked at Lindsay, who was focusing on the banana boat. She suddenly sighed, and reached Angela's ear in a whispered voice: "If so.
Lindsay will definitely be happy. "
Angela's brow suddenly frowned and looked at Jessica with a questioning look, and Jessica shrugged slightly and returned to a "you know" look, and Angela immediately understood, yes, she knew, of course I know.
"Slow down, don't eat too much in one bite, otherwise I won't let you finish this!" The girl half threatened and half pity rubbed the little guy's head.
How about robbing him of custody and custody? Angela thinks like this, anyway, there are two more girls in the house, not one more, but a group of people walked into the restaurant at this time, and after seeing Angela, the fat guy with a bare forehead began to say hello Now: "Hey, see who's there, Angie, how are you?" "Wow, it's rare you will be here together."
Angela stood up with a smile, shook hands with the "executives" of John Lasseter Edcam, Andrew Stanton, and Chris Taylor, and introduced them to them. Friends, after a shudder, several people pulled over chairs and sat down beside the round table.
"In fact, we often appear in restaurants together, so in contrast, it is really rare that you will be here."
After sitting down, Lasseter opened his hands and teased.
"I know, so I'm here now, don't I?" Angela shifted her lips and changed the topic: "How is the production progress of" Toy Story 2 "? I heard you plan to release it at the end of the year?" "If you are willing to participate in the production "If we do, we can definitely advance," Russelt said with dissatisfaction. "Ed told me that you have a director who plans to start work soon, God, I hope you remember to promise to voice over cowgirl Jesse You have released our pigeons once last year. Do you plan to continue this year? Hell, the boss actually puts pigeons of his own company. "
"Hey, John, that was an accident last year, was it an accident, okay?" Angela raised her hands. "There will be no accidents this year. Even if I am a heavy director, I can still use summer dubbing, don't I?" "Summer vacation? Sorry, we decided to release it in the summer vacation, like the first one," said Lassette, helplessly. "And there are several animations in the works, ready to start production at any time."
"A few animations are in preparation?" Angela frowned immediately. "Sorry, did I hear something wrong?"
"No, you did not hear it wrong, indeed." Lasseter took off his glasses and pinched his nose bridge. "After all, although the animation department is doing a good job now, the profit that can be made is not even as good as the game department. Not to mention compared to the movie department. "
"Etc., etc!"
Angela waved her hands and grabbed it in the air, pointing at Lasseter and looking at Ed and others:
"Can you tell me-is this John Lasseter? Are you sure you are not sitting here as a devil in John Lasseter's hide?"
Suddenly she rose to her feet, propped her hands on the round table and twisted her brows in a rope, watching the people in front of her:
"Are you sure that this is Pixar's animation department, and not elsewhere? Tell me, what was your goal in animation at the beginning? What is the idea ?! Who said that we must keep improving to make animations that adults and children love? Why did I separate the movie department? Did I do all this for nothing? "
After the interrogation in the storm, the restaurant became quiet. Everyone looked to this side with a surprised look. Lasseter looked back and was stunned.
However, he immediately reflected back, chuckled and stretched out his hand, slammed his fingers in front of Andrew and Chris, and then swung the index and middle fingers back and forth.
Andrew and Chris both lamented.
Take out their wallets and pay 20 dollars each to Lasseter's hands.
Seeing all this, Angela suddenly opened her mouth and tilted her head from the left to the right. How could she not understand what happened? After wailing, she sat down and hugged her head.
The clap of applause rang at this time, but Angela, who was grieving, seemed more like encouraging another one after watching the excitement, so she raised her head and glared at the chubby creator.
"Don't do this. I was just trying to make a joke, but the two of them just had different opinions, so it turned out to be." Lasseter opened his palm with a grinning smile and pulled Andrew and Chris into the water.
"I don't know anything, and I'm not involved."
Ed also quickly set himself apart.
"We're just kidding, we just want to kidding."
Andrew and Chris both defended themselves.
It has never been law to blame the public, and now Angela is still alone-her two alliances have just tasted this time and are eating and laughing.
So she shrugged helplessly and said that it didn't matter. She was so easily deceived because she was an idealist? Fortunately, the ending is not too bad.
After restoring the atmosphere, it is naturally necessary to talk about some work matters. Although Ed did not say clearly, important figures in these companies know that Angela will have a lot of moves in the future.
However, since Angela decided to keep it secret until the boot.
I would never say anything more before this time, so I talked a few words around the dubbing and then pulled Jessica and Lindsay over.
"Well, if they are worried about my pigeons, what about them?" Angela said, looking at Jessica and Lindsay. After thinking for a few seconds, she pushed Lindsay aside: "This is not possible, "You're too young." "You can't do this, it's age discrimination!" Lindsay protested loudly, and the tone of the ridicule provoked a few people around to laugh.
Angela ignored her, clutching Jessica's shoulders with both hands as if to sell the goods and said, "Jessie's voice is very nice and I will never lose it to anyone. As long as I hear it, I will definitely fall in love with her. And you don't have to change the battery! "" I'm sure you're talking about a radio called Jesse, right? "Jessica said helplessly, and made Lasseter laugh again.
The animation department is still advancing at its own pace, and every animation is made with perfection.
The development of the game department surprised Angela a little.
"Warcraft's Battle.net will be launched this year, and Warcraft 2 has begun preparations," said Aunt Chris Taylor, "but I'm not responsible for this game anymore.
Jeff Stein is the director now, and to be honest he has done a great job with a lot of great ideas in this game. "
"So what about you?" Angela asked curiously. Although the game department was retained and developed under her intervention, it was rarely asked about it after the film department was established.
"I'm planning another new sci-fi rts game with the background set in the future universe," said Chris, who was very excited. "I had a concept for this game long ago but it has never been put into practice. In action, after several years of modification and the development of computer hardware.
I can definitely make a classic rts game! He paused and said jokingly again, "If it hadn't been decided long ago, maybe I would be involved in the production of that Arpg's" The Matrix "game, you know, the 'gun bucket' you proposed The concept of 'art' is really suitable for making games. "
"Thanks for the compliment" Angela put out her tongue in her belly.
It never occurred to them that they were already preparing to make the game version of The Matrix, and the action was really fast.
But think about Lucas ’" Star Wars "can be made into a game and just let it go, just don't know what the" Matrix "with" gun fighting "plus Pixar's current technology accumulation in the game will make So, is it the science fiction version of Devil May Cry or a brand new game? One afternoon passed without noticing it.
Out of the restaurant, Angela took Jessica and Lindsey to the other places before embarking on the return journey, but before leaving-"John Ed, keep childlike is the most wonderful of Pixar's animation Things are also the most attractive. I don't want this beautiful thing to disappear because of the appearance of the movie department.
I said at the beginning that if I had an influence on the animation department, I would rather not have the film department. This view has not changed so far.
I know that the films I direct are too heavy-pressed and have different ideas from animators, but that's why they need to make better, better and warmer works.
No one can say that the movies you make are the best, but the best computer animation will be produced by Pixar. "
Angela said to the two who sent herself away.
"Don't worry, Angie, the philosophy we adhere to is not so easy to change, it is better to have competition."
Lasseter and Ed patted her shoulders, "As you said, make Pixar's animation the best!" "You can see them, you see."
Jessica said suddenly after the car was on the highway.
"Of course, remember what I told you before, if I don't have what I have to do, maybe I will come here as an animator."
Angela shrugged and looked out the window with a smile. "Wait and see, as long as they don't change, the computer animation produced by Pixar will be the best."
"So can you tell us now what exactly are your plans?" Lindsay's voice rang out at this time, and she lifted her small and sat on Angela's leg to hold her in a friendly hug. Her waist.
Angela rubbed the little girl's head helplessly, looked at her Jessica with a curious look, and shook her head. "Sorry, I can't reveal anything more now because a 19-year-old woman did this It's a bit shocking, indeed. "
"Really? There is something even more shocking than being nominated for an Oscar for best director at the age of 18?" Lin Sai blinked, which in her opinion was simply an excuse.
"This is a trade secret!" Angela looked down at the little girl fiercely and rubbed her head again before she said, "Okay, up to the end of next month everyone will know."
The car quickly returned to Los Angeles and the first thing to do was to send Lindsay home.
"Goodbye, it's nice to go out with you today, Angie."
Lindsey, who had one foot out of the carriage, turned around and said goodbye.
"Me too," Angela smiled and kissed her forehead. "Remember to practice the guitar, we said yes."
"Know-Tao--" Lindsay prolonged her voice.
"Goodbye, then, say hello to Ellie for me."
After a pause, Angela spoke her name.
There was a gloomy look in Lindsay's eyes, and she suddenly turned around and drew into Angela's arms. She closed her eyes tightly and hugged her tightly. The affectionate sentiment erupted without reservation. Let Angela be at a loss.
After a few seconds, Lindsey raised her head, touched her lips gently with Angela's lips, then turned around and ran quickly into her own small yard.
After Angela touched her lips with her hand, she closed the door with a sigh and signaled to drive away.
"Linsey seems to be in love with you like I am."
Jessica joked in Angela's ear in a subtle voice, "Jessie!" Angela glanced at her immediately.
"Okay, I'm kidding."
Jessica sat up straight and smiled. "I just want to say that Lindsay is really very attached to you now."
"Tell me what it is."
Angela frowned.
"As before, no, it's worse," Jessica shook her head, showing disgust and unscrupulousness. "Mr. Rohan had not been successful in quitting, but at least he was willing to quit, but now he is not only alcoholic but also She often gambles, Lindsay also said that she has seen her father take drugs several times, God! Madam Rohan, she cares more about Lindsay than her daughter. You know, since Lindsay took this time There are far fewer ads than before, plus a lot of time with me to make an agreement with you "
hateful! Angela squeezed her fingers angrily, but at the same time she was annoyed.
When I went to the East Coast, I started to ignore things here, and now I still want Jesse to remind herself that even if there is something to be busy, she shouldn't understand why the little girl attaches importance to avoiding looking at herself.
You need to find a way to solve this problem.
Angela said silently in her heart.
