"Welcome to Pixar studios, ed." As soon as Adrian arrived at the door of Pixar studio, jobs came out to meet him, along with two other people. A fat one looks very rich, a thin one with a beard, and three interesting people all wear glasses, and their height is almost the same, which makes it very interesting.

After the introduction of jobs, Adrian learned that the rich man in plaid shirt and baggy shorts was John raster, the chief creative officer of Pixar; while the slovenly middle-aged man with a monochrome shirt and trousers and sandals on his feet was ed Carmel, Pixar's technical director.

"Nice to meet you." Adrian smiles and shakes hands with them. These two guys, who will be called "the core and soul of Pixar" in the future, look relatively young now.

"Let's talk as we go." Jobs then sat down with a gesture of invitation, and four men and a woman immediately walked inside.

Pixar's studio is still very humble, it seems that the scale is good, but in some ways, it may not even be as good as some small studios. Every workshop is disorganized, items - private and public - are all over the place, and the only thing to celebrate is that it maintains at least the most basic clean environment.

The staff are always talking about problems, constantly arguing, and no one is convinced. Moreover, sometimes two people use a computer. By God, jobs is a personal computer. In addition to these, you can also see things that you can't see in other companies or studios, such as --

"Hey, the front guys, please let's go." Adrian looked back and took Charlize to the wall. The three of them were doing the same thing.

"Thank you." The young man on his skateboard was flying down the aisle, laughing and scraping in front of Adrian.

"Here, everyone is more casual, and we don't want to use too many restrictions on everyone," Carmel explained.

"I can see that." Adrian nodded nonchalantly

at this time, another round faced employee waved the painting and ran to raster: "John, what's the matter with you?"

"What's the matter, Andrew?" "What I told you was not like this. Here, here and here don't meet the initial setting," Andrew looked annoyed. "What are you doing, John? In this case, it's better to give all the original paintings to me to set "

" OK, OK, I'll apologize, OK? " Raster saw something, said raster, with a good temper.

"This is Andrew Stanton, a great animator and programmer." Carmel took the opportunity to introduce.

The young man named Andrew found that there were still guests. He reached out and exchanged greetings when Carmel introduced Adrian. However, his attention was obviously on the animation. He said two words of welcome and then looked at raster again.

"About this, Andrew, shall we talk about it later?" Raster finally said, "of course, a few mistakes here and the same mistakes can be corrected in your opinion."

"Thank you. That's all." Andrew left without looking back.

"We have no superior and subordinate staff here, which can improve work efficiency." Carmel went on to explain.

"I can see that." Adrian is still noncommittal.

After visiting the studio, several people came to the conference room. Carmel and raster took turns to introduce Pixar's history and the situation in recent years. Meanwhile, several animation short films made before, such as "little tin soldier" and "jump light", were also shown. Adrian also took the opportunity to make a few jokes to shorten the distance.

For example, after the "jump light" was broadcast, he deliberately showed a thoughtful look, pointing to the picture and seriously asked raster, "John, can you tell me, is that lamp in the film father or mother?"

Raster froze, then laughed and replied, "yes, it's just a child."

And then jobs and Carmel both laughed. Here's an allusion. Just after Pixar's first short film, jump light, was shown, a well-known professor in the field of computer graphics and graphics knew that John raster wanted to ask him a question. Although raster had accumulated a lot of experience in production at that time, he was still directing animated films for the first time, and he was still an animated film. Therefore, he became extremely nervous. In his opinion, there were too many technical errors and deficiencies in this short film. If the other party asked him technical questions, such as which data were wrong, he really did not know what to do What's the answer. But to his surprise, the computer expert actually asked seriously, "is that lamp in your film father or mother?"

Yes, that's the question Adrian asked just now, so several people laughed and the atmosphere became more harmonious. Adrian also took the opportunity to tell each other implicitly that he already knew Pixar."Thank you for your hospitality, and I have to admit that I have gained a lot." Before leaving, Adrian said so to three important people, and then gave jobs a wink, and a man whom jobs knew would send him to the car.

"I've got some ideas and I'll get back to you as soon as possible." Adrian said to him, his face very calm, no other expression, in the other side to understand immediately after shaking hands to say goodbye to the car.

It's not perfect, but it's Pixar he wants. But raster and Carmel seem to be enthusiastic, but they don't seem willing to change their boss. They hide this emotion well, but Adrian can see it.

Think about it. Jobs supported them at their most difficult time, and he has been supporting them until now. He knows computers, understands technology, understands their dreams. If he changes to someone else, God knows what Pixar will become. Of course, Adriana has always maintained a noncommittal attitude, which is also one of the reasons, but he has to. He doesn't want jobs to see something from his expression, and then sit down and start the price.

It doesn't matter. I'll have a good talk with them later. Anyway, I won't interfere with them. As long as laster and Carmel are there Oh, and Andrew Stanton. Adrian thought, glancing at Charlize, who was sitting quietly beside him, and suddenly asked, "Charley, what do you think of Pixar?"

"Me?" Charlize raised eyebrows a little unexpectedly. Since arriving at Pixar studio, she has kept a low profile and, like all assistants, makes herself transparent when the boss is talking.

"Yes, I believe you should observe more carefully." Adrian smiles.

Charlize was not polite. After a few seconds of sorting out his thoughts, he said, "because I don't know a lot of things very well, and the time you give me to collect information is too short, so I'm just talking about my feelings on the surface. Their technical strength should still be good, otherwise they won't be praised by many people and won so many awards, so what they need now is a long animation that can fully demonstrate their strength. "

"Excellent." Adrian patted her hands twice and had to admit that Charlize was really smart, otherwise she would not have achieved that in memory. So it seems good to arrange a different life for her?

"Have you ever thought about being in a movie, Charlie?" Adrian asked suddenly.

"In a movie?" Charlize looked at Adrian inexplicably. She didn't understand why the topic suddenly jumped from Pixar to film.

"Yes, you are so beautiful and so smart. As long as I am here, you can be a big star." Adrian said with a smile, the tone is full of temptation, "to get the Best Actress Oscar is not difficult."

Charlize was still a little bit excited at first, but after Adrian said the following words, his face turned to be alert, and his body slightly tilted back, as if to ask you what plot you had.

"I'm serious, Charlie. You have all the conditions to be a big star." Adrian said, reaching over her face, regardless of Glover driving ahead.

"Thank you, but no more." Charlize said no with a fake smile. His gray green eyes were shining, and he told Adrian clearly: don't try to control me

Adrian immediately changed into a sad expression: "Oh, you know, Charlie..."

"I have a question about steve jobs," Charlize said before he could go on. "Although the information shows that he has invested a lot in Pixar, it is far from enough compared with the investment in next computer company. Does this mean that he does not attach great importance to Pixar. If you want to buy it, you can do something about it 。”

"I want to say one more thing, Charlie. You're brilliant." Adrian said after a few seconds of silence. Although he knew this, he had the advantage of "foreseeing", and Charlize made such an inference based on the information in his hand. Although there may be other factors, this is enough to show her wisdom.

Then, Adrian fell into the thinking, but he did not think about how to reduce the price, he thought because of Charlize's words and thought of the difficult thing to make a decision before: how to buy Pixar?

This should be a very simple thing, spend tens of millions to buy from jobs, he also said, as long as the price is right. However, there is another equity injection plan of 10 million yuan for jobs.

Of course, for many people, if they like something and it is very important for their own development, they certainly want to hold it all in their own hands. Adrian thinks the same way, but he's not sure how much of a role Pixar's success played in jobs' return to apple?
