V1.C227

There is a heated conversation going on in the office. Even if the sound insulation is good, people passing by can still hear the excited voice of the technical director, and then their faces will become more worried.

"You can't do that, Steve." ed camore, with his hands on his desk, leaned forward and looked at the bald man behind with a burning look. "We're going to make it. If we have enough time, we'll make it. You can't say no at this time, Steve."

Jobs did not speak, just took off the bridge of his nose and wiped his glasses.

"Think, Steve, how many difficulties have we overcome since we were founded?" Carmel continued, "we come step by step, and now we can see the light, and you're going to sell the studio? It's like letting all these years of hard work go away. Remember, Steve, when you talked to me and John all night long, what did you say? You said that our faith and enthusiasm moved you. Has your enthusiasm been exhausted now? "

"I know how you feel, ED," Jobs said slowly. "To this day, I still admire your enthusiasm and faith. However, ED, I am a businessman more often than not. Since 1986, I have lost more than 1 million yuan a year. In addition, with the investment in publicity in recent years, I have spent nearly 10 times the money I spent on buying the studio "

" but But... " Carmel still wanted to argue, but jobs stopped him by raising his hand: "you know, ED, my career is all on personal computers. I bought the studio, and I was also interested in your development capabilities. Now, I need money to expand next, so... "

He spread out his hands and made a gesture of "I'm sorry". Carmel sat down slowly for a few seconds, then covered his face in a dejected way: "is everything irretrievable?"

"Well, ED, relax." Jobs then slowed down his tone and comforted him. No matter what, they have worked together for so many years to build Pixar together, but they still have some feelings. "I will not easily sell Pixar to people who have no interest in computer animation. There is also my painstaking efforts in this, and I will not see it collapse. The man you met, Adrian Cowell, who visited the studio last time, is very optimistic about the future of computer animation. "

Carmel opened his mouth and finally stood up with a wry smile: "I see. That's it."

He walked out of jobs's office, and Carmel returned to his cubicle, where Lasser, Stanton and others had been waiting for a long time.

"No, ed?" As he looked, raster asked anxiously.

"Steve has made up his mind," said Carmel with a smile. "But it doesn't matter. We've met the man who bought Pixar. It's the last time we visited Adrian Cowell, the director of wonder. Steve said he's very optimistic about the future of computer animation, so everything will be OK. "

Although the words were good, several of the key figures in the scene all laughed bitterly, but they did not say anything else. They sighed a few times and then left. Then Carmel took off his glasses and rubbed his head.

Several of them knew that this was a normal business transaction. After all, Pixar was founded by Steve Jobs, and no one could stop him from selling. But what they worry about is that they have spent a few years building and cultivating them, and finally want to see the situation of hope, so they fail.

Although jobs is the CEO of the studio, most of his energy is in the computer company, so the big and small affairs here are actually handled by Carmel. Because they have worked together for so long, they all know what kind of people they are, so jobs has always been very comfortable in front of the shopkeeper. But now it's someone else, Carmel, who they don't know at all. Who knows if he'll adapt the whole Pixar to his own will?

Carmel can still recall Adrian's indifference to the atmosphere of the studio when he visited. In his opinion, this is the best atmosphere for making computer animation. If

"Well, cheer up. Maybe it won't be that bad." Calmer murmured, comforting himself, and then looked at the computer in front of him. He seems to go back to the time when he worked with laster at Disney more than a decade ago. They came together because of their common hobbies, and then they worked hard for it. When they failed, they went to industrial light and magic again. Fortunately, they met jobs and established Pixar with friends who had the same dream. Now, all these things will face the unknown Come on, what's going to happen?

A few days later, with the completion of the relevant legal procedures, Pixar was officially under the control of AC media, and Adrian, who was originally shooting a new film in New York, also returned to Los Angeles to visit Pixar studio.

As before, Carmel and laster were waiting outside the work room early, but this time there was no jobs.

Adrian is still so young, his face is angular, energetic, with extraordinary self-confidence. It is just that he is not like the last suit and leather shoes, but wearing a T-shirt and trousers. Although he still takes his beautiful female secretary, he is more easygoing because of his uninhibited.I hope it won't be the worst. Carmel thought in his heart as he shook hands.

There was not much nonsense. After a few greetings, Adrian immediately called all the studio people to the conference room.

"I'm very happy to work with you," Adrian's opening remarks said. "I visited the studio a few days ago. Do you know what impressed me the most? It's Mr. spade leaping down the corridor on his skateboard, it's Ms. Lexy's scream, it's Mr. Stanton's stern questioning of Mr. Lester. "

Adrian's tone is very calm, and there is no comparison between the meaning, can be heard in the ears of Carmel, and Leicester after the eye, but still frown, and was called to the name of several people are some unconsciously moved the body.

"From these, I see..." Adrian slowly glanced at the conference room and said, "loose, frivolous, too free, unaware of self-respect, no distinction between superior and subordinate, and..."

Every time he said a word, the faces of the people around him were ugly, and Carmel's heart sank. Did the last situation finally come?

At this moment, Adrian suddenly raised his voice. The whole person stood up and put his hands on the long table in the conference room. All the staff present, including Carmel and laster, were surprised by the sudden change.

"I think you all know that I am an investor as well as a director. I believe some people have seen my works. As a director, I know the importance of imagination. Without enough imagination, I can never make a good work. However, film needs imagination, but it also limits imagination in many places. Animation is different. The way it is expressed and the way it is made determines that the people who make it need passion, vitality and more abundant imagination. "Adrian waved his hand fiercely, with a confident smile around his mouth, and listening to Carmel, he couldn't help laughing. He finally understood that, What Adrian said was intentional.

"In animation, we can freely depict our own imagination, and animation will therefore have more vitality. Therefore, it is very important to cultivate the environment of imagination. Even if people have imagination again, they will be wiped out sooner or later. Although Denis's 2D animation is still on the rise now, its conservative decline is just around the corner, and now is the time for 3D animation to pout. "Adrian waved his arm, with a kind of Soul-catching power." I like Pixar, I don't tell lies, I like the sight here is not superior, here is the freedom, here is full of vitality and hope, there is something people can have With a positive impulse, when I read the history of Pixar and what you have done for it, I know that your success is only a matter of time, so I did not hesitate to sell it. I believe that the first 3D will be born in your hands and will be carried forward in your hands "

listening to this inspiring speech, everyone in the conference room will be impressed With a big mouth, it seemed that I was at a loss. Then, the clapping applause began to ring. At first, only one person was shooting, but immediately other people also clapped. Finally, the warm applause surged back and forth in the small conference room.

"Thank you. Thank you." Adrian pressed his hands down. After the applause subsided, Adrian continued: "I know what you are worried about. Please rest assured that I will not interfere with anything in the studio. All previous practices will be reserved. I believe that through what I said just now, you should understand my idea. Of course, a little change is needed, that is, Mr. ed camore will be the CEO of the studio "

the people in the conference room were stunned, and then burst into applause again. Not many people even whistled or clapped their hands to celebrate. If the applause just now was just to deal with the new boss's idea, now the applause is from the heart. Carmel is absolutely popular as CEO, and it can be seen from another aspect that the new boss did not change the idea of the studio.

"Thank you." In the heart of a long sigh of relief, Carmel immediately stood up in the applause and said two words of encouragement. He did not completely put his heart down. Although Adrian's clear attitude let everyone down, there was an urgent problem to be solved.

Everyone's meeting is basically over here. Most of them have left the conference room, leaving only a few key figures left. Adrian casually expressed his attitude, but Pixar's related business still needs to be investigated, and Carmel and they just need to seek his support.
