Chapter 606： graduation

Most of the properties under New Universal were purchased by Dunn using his foresight, and they have great prospects for development.

Silkwood Animation Studios was an accident.

It didn't exist in the past life at all.

Moreover, the animated film "Adventures of Bone Treasure", which the studio invested 75 million US dollars to produce, is also a film project that has not appeared in the previous life.

Entirely by Tosca Musk.

"Adventures of Bone Treasure" will be released at the end of June. Dunn has already seen the finished film. Ask yourself, it is very good.

But it is difficult to say whether it can be recognized by the market.

The director of "Unsinkable" is James Cameron. Even if the movie is unfamiliar, Dunn is very confident.

"Adventures of Bone Treasure" is different. This comic cartoon is produced by Tosca Musk who has jumped from Silicon Valley... The future is uncertain.

However, in any case, Dunn recognized her ability.

At the age of 27, she went to Hollywood alone. Through her brother's relationship and her own means, she successfully won the favor of Tang En, got investment, and started the project "Adventures of Bone Treasure".

More importantly, the movie...it's pretty good!

There are many young executives in the New Universal Group, and Tosca Musk is also a key training object for Dunn.

Seeing Dunn's rejection without even thinking about it, Michael Eisner was a little helpless, "New Universal already has Pixar, and the existence value of Slywood is not high, but it is different for Disney."

Everyone is a businessman, very shrewd, and each other's ideas are very clear.

Dunn smiled, "I'm not saying that Siliwood Studio can't sell it, the key is that the studio's first animated film "Adventures of Bone Treasure" will be released in North America on June 30. I can't At this time, such an important decision is made."

For him, as long as the price is right, the studio is completely sellable.

Since the future cannot be judged, it is better to let go and take less risks.

But not at this stage.

Tosca Musk has invested a lot of effort in "Adventures of Bone Treasure" in the past two years, waiting for the market to test it.

Selling the studio at this time, isn't this waiting to turn around?

Besides, in order to sell the studio at a good price, the market reaction of "Adventures of Gubao" is very critical.

"Adventures of Bone Treasure" is a very long children's comic, and it is not over yet.

If the first animated film "Adventures of Bone Treasure" is successful, this series will have great development value.

The value of Siliwood Animation Studio will also rise as a result.

If it fails at the box office, it doesn't matter, you can stop thinking about Tosca Musk. When the time comes to sell Siliwood again, she will be convinced.

Michael Eisner sighed.

He has dealt with Tang En for such a long time, and he knew that it would be impossible to let this kid go without paying enough price.

Next, look at the animated film "Legend of the Bear" released by Disney Studios this year.

This is a traditional 2D hand-painted movie with an investment of 65 million US dollars.

If the cartoon is recognized by the market, Disney can survive for another year or two.

Not in a hurry to acquire.

If such excellent cartoons have encountered a cold wave in the market, then it can only explain one problem - 2D hand-painted animation has completely withdrawn from the stage of history!

At that time, Disney will have to reluctantly bleed and implement a complete transformation of the animation industry.

...

American universities attach great importance to graduation ceremonies, not just a group photo.

For this grand ceremony, major colleges and universities in the United States will set up a "Graduation Committee", which is specially responsible for inviting influential, inspirational, successful, outstanding and exemplary guests from all over the world to give speeches at the graduation ceremony. The rookies who want to go out of school give guidance on life.

Graduation ceremony in English is "meent", the word also has the meaning of beginning, new beginning.

That's what graduation ceremonies are all about.

Harvard's commencement ceremony is usually held on the last Thursday in May.

Today is May 29th.

Harvard's commencement ceremony was held on the lawn of Tricentennial Square, the center of Harvard.

It is square, with the Widener Library in the front and the Harvard Memorial Church in the back.

The meaning is very clear. For the students who are about to leave the school, there is an endless ocean of knowledge in front of them, and they need to keep accumulating and moving forward; in the back, is the backer that Harvard University gives you, and the connections and alumni relationships here are the lifeblood of your life. Maximum guarantee.

The lawn area of ​​the square is not too big.

It is impossible for all graduates to attend the graduation ceremony.

Only top students are eligible to participate.

For every graduate who can participate in the graduation ceremony, their parents can receive an invitation letter to participate in the graduation ceremony. Parents from all over the world will gather at Harvard on this day.

Places are limited, but for Natalie, there is no problem.

Tang En was also invited to watch the ceremony.

"Mr. Herschler, you seem to be getting younger and younger."

In front of Natalie's father, Dunn always felt guilty and had a fake smile on his face.

"Um."

The other party responded indifferently, without even looking at him.

Dunn was very embarrassed.

Fortunately, Natalie Birdie was leaning on her side, she raised her toes and said proudly, "If you dare to bully me again, the old man will beat you!"

"When did I bully you?" Dunn looked aggrieved.

Natalie gave him a charming look and snorted, "You know it yourself!"

It turned out that there were more and more people on the lawn, and there were all kinds of people. Many people saw that they were from foreign countries. When they kept taking pictures, Tang En frowned, "It's a bit messy here, right?"

"puff!"

Natalie couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at you for doing so many bad things that you don't dare to come in public?"

Tang En said angrily: "What do you know, I am an honorary police officer who punishes evil and promotes good, and the mortal enemy of criminal groups. Good people don't live long, don't you understand this truth?"

"Understood." Natalie looked innocent. "Because good people don't live long, you must live a hundred years!"

Dunn almost died of anger.

Natalie laughed and lowered her voice, "Don't worry, this is Harvard, and many politicians and dignitaries will come here, and the security is no worse than the White House. Do you think you can attend the graduation ceremony as long as you have good grades? Wrong, and identity audit."

Dunn nodded and expressed his understanding.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at Harvard University.

Some people are obviously students, and their grades are still very good.

However, their real identity is likely to be the personal bodyguards of some important people.

Tang En has a cap and sunglasses to cover up, and his clothes are also very fashionable. He is no different from ordinary young people, and has not attracted the attention of others.

On the contrary, a few graduates walked over cautiously and asked Natalie if they could have a photo opportunity.

Natalie politely declined.

"Hey!"

20 minutes later, the ceremony was about to start. Dunn accompanied Natalie and sat in the corner of the third row, unable to help but sigh.

"What's wrong?"

Natalie blinked her big round eyes.

Tang En said with emotion: "The first time I saw you back then, you were still a high school student. I didn't expect that you would graduate from college in a blink of an eye."

Natalie said lightly, "At that time... I was not yet eighteen years old."

Recalling that the two met in the crew of "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man", and then began to contact and communicate, their faces couldn't help showing a little smile and a little sweetness.

"We've been separated for four years. After that, we can't be separated again." Dunn held Natalie's soft little hand.

"This……"

Natalie hesitated.

"Huh? You don't want to?" Tang En was startled, and became a little nervous, "I drove all the messy women in the house, leaving you, me, and Scarlett."

"There are still three people?" Natalie glanced at him, but she didn't bother about this topic. She leaned her head lightly on Dunn's shoulder, "But I still want to continue my studies."

"Ah? Isn't it?" Dunn opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "Hollywood says you are a nerd, do you really want to be a nerd?"

Natalie's eyes widened, and then she said quietly: "I'm Jewish, I was born in Jerusalem. But I can only speak some simple Hebrew. I want to go to Israel to study for a master's degree and study Hebrew. and Israeli history."

Dunn has a black line on his forehead.

"Okay, we'll discuss this matter later, let's talk about something interesting."

Natalie smiled crisply and quickly changed the subject What? "

"Last month, there was an idiot who hacked the database of Harvard's website!"

"Ah?" Dunn was a little surprised, "Even Harvard dares to hack? I'm afraid he will be arrested, right?"

There are many secrets in Harvard, and many foreign princes study here.

These are secrets that even the FBI must be on high alert for.

Even the identities of Dunn and Natalie can only be arranged in the third row. Except for the school leaders in the first row, it is estimated that they are princes, princesses and family children of various countries, and they must be protected.

The more front row, the safer; the further back, the more chaotic the situation.

Natalie shook her head and said, "He's a Harvard student, how did he get arrested?"

"Students at Harvard?"

"Well, a freshman in the Department of Computer Science."

"Can you hack Harvard's official website as a freshman? This level is okay."

"Yeah, he's pretty good."

Tang En frowned, "What happened later? How did you deal with it?"

"The school is going to expel him."

"It's a slap in the face."

"Later he asked me for help, and I went to the teaching office to intercede for him."

"Ah?" Dunn was incredulous, staring at Natalie, "Aren't you empathetic?"

Natalie's phoenix eyes widened in anger, and she scolded: "You are boring!"

"Okay, I apologize." Tang En heaved a sigh of relief and asked strangely, "How did I find you?"

Natalie said lightly: "We often have classes together. He is very clever, and he is still a Jew, so we exchanged contact information."

Tang En was a little puzzled, "Isn't he a computer science department?"

Natalie said: "He majored in computing and took psychology as an elective."

"Oh." Tang En was stunned at this moment, and he laughed, "Major in computer and elective in psychology, this kid is amazing!"
