"Where's Dibbos?" Evan Bell looked around and chatted with Catherine Bell. In fact, Evan Bell knows that the real important things will be taken care of by Teddy Bell and Frank James. He is worried about Katherine Bell, so he came here.

Evan Bell knew that after Katherine Bell gave birth to their two brothers, it was hardship. After achieving success, it is inevitable that there will be some worries. But Evan Bell has always believed that the problems that money can solve in this world are not problems, because money can never be earned, no matter what the future of Eleven Studios will be, their family will not starve to death anyway, so there is no such thing as a problem. There is no need to be in a mess because of the economic crisis. It is better to relax and enjoy the process. Originally, the achievements of Eleven Design are to realize Catherine Bell's dream, but if the purpose of Eleven Design's existence becomes to make money, and everything revolves around making money, then Katherine Bell will not enjoy it. Happy in it. In Evan Bell's point of view, women's clothing can be involved, but only if Catherine Bell is interested, not to develop markets and businesses.

Evan Bell said a few words just now, and Catherine Bell seemed to have figured it out, so Evan Bell did not continue talking, but changed the subject.

"He's been busy with something recently, so he didn't come here." Catherine Bell said it casually without being shy.

In fact, the relationship between Catherine Bell and Dibos-Francis is very stable now, but Evan-Bell doesn't know why Dibos-Francis has not moved in. This seems to be somewhat different from the way Westerners behave. But this is a matter between Katherine Bell, so Evan Bell did not interfere too much.

Evan Bell nodded and didn't speak.

Catherine Bell, however, was aroused by the topic of her younger son, "Teddy, did you send the thank you gift I asked you to send to London?"

Teddy Bell was stunned. Originally, he was still listening to the chat between his brother and his mother. Why did the topic suddenly come to him? When he heard his mother's question, his first reaction was, "Send it, I sent it a long time ago. Then he noticed Evan Bell's intriguing eyes cast over, Frank James was sitting next to him with his head bowed with a mysterious smile, and he didn't mean to look up at the joke, but his ears must be erect. Teddy Bell suddenly felt a little annoyed. Why did he lose his mind just now? He was completely unprepared.

Sure enough, Evan Bell raised his eyebrows with a look of interest, "Gift?"

Teddy Bell looked at Catherine Bell eagerly, but Catherine Bell did not receive the pleading look, and the words were already out, "Don't you know? Emma sent me a gift on my birthday, Saying it was thanks for the Christmas treat, I asked Teddy to send a gift in return." In Catherine Bell's view, the eldest son does not hide anything from the younger son, but the younger son is more concerned and is used to putting everything Everything is on his shoulders, and he shoulders everything alone. So Kathryn Bell didn't think much about it at all, and told Teddy Bell about it.

Obviously, Catherine Bei didn't know that the eldest son was not only ignorant of invitations, but also very shy. After being teased by the younger son several times, he always seemed helpless, so he didn't tell the younger son about it. When Katherine Bell said this, she dismantled the diorama.

Emma Watson? Evan Bell's eyes suddenly became playful. In fact, according to etiquette, Emma Watson is a junior, and Catherine Bell is an elder. When Emma Watson came to Bell's house for Christmas, she gave a return gift as a thank you. This is a very normal etiquette exchange. , Emma - Watson's family is also very tutored, there is nothing unusual about this move. But the timing of Emma Watson's choice is interesting. She chose Catherine Bell's birthday, both as a thank you gift and as a birthday present, so as not to be abrupt or too deliberate, but enough sincerity can be shown.

It seems that in the past few months, Emma Watson and Teddy Bell have been more closely connected than expected.

Teddy Bell was very helpless by the playful eyes of his brother, but at this time Frank James was here again, and he was too embarrassed to explain directly, but he would also be glad that Eden Hudson was not there, otherwise these two people Together, Teddy Bell estimates that there will be no bones left. "It's just normal etiquette." Teddy Bell explained, then abruptly looked away from his shy eyes and said firmly, "By the way, when you met last time, Thomas told you about 2010. Do you have any filming plans?"

This topic change is too blunt, not to mention Evan Bell, even Frank James can't help laughing beside him. Teddy Bell hurriedly cast a begging look at his brother. Evan Bell knew that it would not be too late to ask questions when he got home at night. In fact, he was also anxious for Teddy Bell. He and Emma Watson were making great progress. Is it too slow, is Teddy Bell going to follow the line of Catherine Bell and Deppos Francis?

Evan Bell decided to let his brother go temporarily, so he took up the topic, "2010? No, I guess they plan to wait until the end of the year to talk about it."

Evan Bell originally just said it casually, but after speaking, he pondered for a while, '2010? Is it a big investment? "

It's only 2008 now, and the release plan for next year has not come out yet. At present, there are no new movie works released by Eleven Studio or Evan Bell. After all the works in 2008 are released, there is no schedule for 2009. rational thinking. Therefore, even if we want to arrange it, we should first arrange the filming plan for the year of Z fierce. How could it be in 2010? Then there is only one possibility. The investment project is relatively large, and the preliminary preparation will be relatively long, so the project is started now, and the filming and post-production will be carried out in 2009, and it will be released in 2010.

Before that, Eleven Studio's biggest investment was only 60 million US dollars in "perfume", and it has never crossed the 100 million threshold. Could it be that Teddy Bell is planning to make a further breakthrough? Evan Bell has been traveling for the past four months, and it hasn't been long since he came back. It's normal to not know.

"Not sure, just discussing." Teddy Bell confirmed Evan Bell's idea, "but now that the economic crisis comes, it seems that the plan must be more careful." Teddy Bell wiped a sweat quietly , finally changed the subject. "Actually, at the beginning, because of 'Toy Story 3, additional investment, I approved another $50 million investment to Lee.'"

"Toy Story 3" is the third installment of the "Toy Story" series. Long before Pixar remarried to Eleven Studio, this project was actually already being planned. After the acquisition was completed, "Toy Story" soon The copyrights of the first and second films were also recovered by Eleven Studios, and Pixar started production. When the screenwriter of "Little Miss Sunshine" was first written, Michael Amter wrote the script, and Lee Unkrich, who had served as the assistant director of "Finding Nemo" and "Monster Company", took over the guide tube and got eleven The studio approved the cost of 150 million US dollars to start the production of "Toy Story 3".

"That's $200 million now." Evan Bell muttered to himself. Although Eleven Studio's investment in other aspects has never exceeded the threshold of 100 million, this premise does not include Pixar. "Ratatouille" invested 150 million dollars, "Robot Wall-E" and "Flying Home" currently under production are both 180 million dollars, and now "Toy Story 3" has created a new investment high.

However, 3D computer animation has always been like this, high investment and high income, but also high risk, which is the fundamental reason why Pixar is so popular, because they have never missed behind the high investment, and their 100% success rate makes them absolutely dominant. Advantage. The final box office of "Ratatouille" was 940 million, and the global box office of "Robot Wall-E" was also 840 million. No matter how you look at these two businesses, they have achieved remarkable results.

"Is the company's activity fund enough?" Evan Bell knows that the studio's action this year is not small. Although the investment in the record field is relatively small, the rate of return is relatively low, and today Eleven Music has been active since the beginning of the year; the consumption of TV is huge, and the cost of shooting each episode is not to be underestimated, not to mention that there are so many episodes produced by Eleven Productions at the same time; Eleven works in the film field The office has always been a small investment with a high return, so there has been no problem with the working capital. This time we have to increase the investment, so the situation is naturally uncertain.

Teddy Bell is much clearer than Evan Bell, "No problem. That's why Thomas and the others are considering whether to try to shoot a commercial blockbuster. After all, the 11th issue is gradually growing." Indeed, this is all A natural development stage. However, Studio Eleven is not as big as DreamWorks' big business, and every action is not small. Teddy Bell and others are still more cautious.

"Have a good proposal?" Evan Bell knew that even though Thomas Lansing and others began to consider commercial films, the requirements for the script have always been the foundation of Eleven Studio, so they would never ignore it. If Thomas Lansing and the others are eager for quick success, they will not be able to get through this level with Teddy Bell.

Teddy Bell nodded, "There are a lot more. At present, Thomas and the others have been focusing on two adapted scripts, one is 'Alice in Wonderland' and the other is 'Tron Chronicle'. "

Hearing these two proposals, Evan Bell's expression suddenly became meaningful, and the smile on his face was somewhat unexpected.
