Chapter 228 The so-called dream

9days ago Urban Novels 8
In addition to producing special effects and lg for some film companies, we also have a relatively small game department, which is also outsourcing for some game companies, but the most important thing is the animations created for Disney.As early as 1991, we signed a contract with them for three 3D animations and are now working on the first one, but something went wrong.

Camol explained to Adrian one by one and handed all kinds of information to him.

What's the problem?Although he knew it, Adrian asked calmly.

Disney CEO Michael Eisner is not optimistic about computer animation, so he has plans to cancel this project, and Cowles, the person in charge of our cooperation, is trying to find a way to win it.

Camel said and glanced at Adrian, I think you have a good relationship with Denis, maybe you can try to convince Eisner.

What do you think?Adrian pondered for a while and looked at Rust, Stanton and others.

We think so too.

After several people exchanged their eyes, Rust said, "We have done a lot of work. We have drawn several boxes of paper just for the setting draft, the script is quite complete, and several clips have been produced."If cancelled now, it will be a big blow to the development of us and the studio.

He is very good at speaking, and these guys are indeed not a good-looking guy.

Adrian said in his heart as he flipped through the information of the first animated film handed over by Rust.

Looking at the setting draft in his hand, especially the cowboys and astronauts, he smiled slightly.

Let's do this.

After thinking for a few minutes, Adrian said, "I will talk to Michael, but I won't let him support this project. I will ask him to terminate the contract as soon as possible, even if there is no penalty for liquidated damages."

Why?Stanton asked immediately, his face full of anxiety.

OK, Andrew, let's hear Adrian's opinion first.

Camol then made a gesture of "Shao You Are Not Affected", and Raster also gave him the same look, and then the three of them looked at Adrian together.

He smiled in praise at Camore and Rust, and Adrian put his hands crossed on the table with a smile and said leisurely: I roughly browsed the contract and made three animated movies with 10 million yuan. All the copyrights of the surrounding area belong to Disney, and the box office was divided into Pixar no more than 25%... Gentlemen, do you know what this means?

None of the few people spoke, just stared at Adrian, especially Camore, and seemed to have seen something.

My plan is to terminate this unreasonable contract with Disney and then I will invest 10 million to produce this animated movie. You can devote all your energy to making it into an animation movie you want to make, and then I will arrange for the release and release.

Adrian said with a chuckling.

The few people looked at each other again, and all showed an excited look. They didn't even think that Adrian was the chairman of AC Media!

Although it is not as big as the Denis, it also has its own complete distribution channel, so it needs no need to say what this means.

In addition, Adrian also expressed strong support and completely delegated power to them. If he was not excited or excited, he would have encountered a ghost.

I think this is OK.Camore immediately said, he controlled his emotions well.

But others were not so calm, and Stanton immediately yelled: Great, Ed!This is the best news I have heard this year!

Thinking of the question just now, it suits his straightforward temper.

It seems we changed to an equally good boss.Rust took off his glasses and said sighingly, then asked Stanton jokingly: By the way, Andrew, which Ed are you calling?

Stanton was stunned, and then the others burst into laughter.

After chatting a few more words with the studio and the animated film being produced, Adrian immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

I still have movies to shoot in New York, so I can't waste too much time.

He explained so, and then patted Camore's arm: Anyway, everything about Pixar is left to you, Ed.

No problem, Ed.Camol nodded, and then both showed thoughtful expressions.

I think this title is great, what about you?Rust touched Stanton beside him with his elbow and asked with a smile as he looked at Camore and Adrian.

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

Adrian looked at them and shook his head, turned around and was about to leave, but turned back because of something: By the way, take some time to fax me the script and overall concept of the animation movie. You all know that besides being a director, I am also a screenwriter. Animation movies and live-action movies may have different things, but I can still provide some advice.

After getting in the car and leaving Pixar Studio, Adrian finally breathed a sigh of relief and completely relieved.

Today's itinerary has basically achieved his goal, and what we have to do now is wait for Pixar to develop on its own.

I closed my eyes and thought about it carefully. Apart from thinking about how to make suggestions for revisions to the script, it seems that I don’t need to interfere anymore.

Oh, by the way, the game department can be cut off. What you need is a studio that purely produces computer animation, so don't have other departments.

Programmers can arrange to go to the R&D department Pixar has its own modeling software, of course, if you want to continue playing games, you can also merge them into the silicon and neural bond studio.

Speaking of which, Silicon and Neural Bond Studio should have been renamed now. If the name Blizzard was registered by others because of the butterfly wings, it would be a lot of fun.

Shaking his head, Adrian re-adjusted his thoughts, and now he had to think about how to make the other party accept his opinions.

The current animation script is different from what he knows. Although it also tells a story about toys, Cowboy Woody is a disgusting character who is sarcastic and can only mock others, while Buss Lightyear is a simple-minded guy and doesn't call this name.

Although I believe in Rust and the others' abilities, the script would probably not be popular if it were like this.

Let’s point out the problem first and then listen to their opinions.

Adrian, who was rubbing his chin, thought so, and the most important thing now is to terminate the contract with Denis as soon as possible before Cowles convinced Eisner.

What a joke, the most profitable part of animated movies is the peripherals derived from it. Just think about how much profit the peripherals of Dinis earns for it.

In fact, this is true for all movies. Except for those movies with super high box office, most of the profits are on the sales of videotapes.

And when Dinis actually signed such a harsh contract with Pixar, he simply used Pixar as a tool, which shows that Jobs really didn't focus on it.

Now that it is in Adrian's hands, how could he tolerate most of the interests being taken away by Dinis?

What's more, I already have a mature and complete distribution channel. Of course, I may be slightly worse than Dinis in terms of distribution, but I will never lose to them in terms of publicity and hype, because when this animated movie is completed, I should also...

After stretching comfortably, Adrian pinched the bridge of his nose and then adjusted his thoughts to management.

Ed Camore's ability is unquestionable. Although Jobs has always provided the studio's funding, without his management and planning, Pixar would not have been able to grow to its current scale without funding.

He also worked as a technology player at Industrial Light and Magic at the beginning, but after forming Pixar, he found that he was not as good as Rust and others in this regard, so he simply turned to management and did a pretty good job.

Adrian remembers it very clearly that although Jobs was the CEO of Pixar in his previous life, the management work was completed by Camore from beginning to end.

Pixar's amazing achievements are not unrelated to its unique corporate culture, and Camell's contribution to building such a corporate culture is indelible.

If there are still people in Hollywood who keep their dreams and fight for them no matter what kind of failure they encounter, then 90% of people are in Pixar.

There are too many temptations here, too many people come with dreams, but eventually surrender to reality.

But Kamore, Rust and others persevered. Although this was not unrelated to their intention to develop technology, they persevered and created a unique corporate culture that belonged only to them.

There is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, an interesting workplace, pleasant and energetic communication, etc.

It is precisely because of this corporate culture that excellent animated films like "Looking for Nemo" and "Wali" were born, which other studios cannot learn. Even if they conceived those ideas, they would not be able to make animations like Pixar.

So Adrian maintained a respect for them. The word dream is sometimes very sacred. Although some people's dreams are mediocre, such as dreaming of eating and drinking every day; but some people's dreams are full of passion, such as Rust and others working hard to create computer animation.

This kind of dream represents human yearning for beautiful things to a large extent, but it is extremely fragile and may break if it encounters it a little.

Because once you use any means on the road to seeking, then dreams are no longer dreams, and only naked desires are left, such as Adrian's various plagiarism and plagiarism.

Of course, Adrian never denies his desires. Although no one knows that he has copied and plagiarized, if he refuses to admit this, and even thinks that it is still a dream, then it can only be said that this person has reached the extreme hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy is indeed indispensable in life, especially in the interactions of the upper class, hypocrisy is a compulsory course.

But if a person reaches this point of hypocrisy and dare not even admit his own desires, he will only be a complete loser.

So he maintained a respect for Rust and the others, so he would not interfere too much in Pixar's development, so he would take care of them to develop and let them realize their dreams.
