"I am not a man talented at giving speeches, neither am I good at saying those inspiring words, but I can promise you all one thing, within three years, as long as there are no problems in your work, will not have any layoffs."
After left, Eric gathered all the employees and a.s.sured theme. This was their greatest concern. Over the past few years, Pixar had to fire a number of employees, because of funding constraints.
Sure enough, after Eric made the promise, many people heaved a sigh of relief. they all know Eric's ident.i.ty, in front of them is a young man who control a lot of money, since he made such a promise, he will not go back on his words.
"Well, everyone continues doing your work, and all the management staff come with me to the meeting room."
After a brief commotion, led the other executives and walked to the Conference room.
"Well you all know me, and I also have a certain understanding of who you are from the information's I read before, so we can temporarily skip the introductions."
Eric kept going: " was in a bad situation, but it won't be like that again. I'm sure that you are all curious about why I bought Pixar, I have told John before the reason why.
I told him I'm interested in making 3D animation movies, let's be honest here I don't know a lot about how 3D Animation work, but I know how to make a good movie, when I watched the short film "", I come up with a very good long story for a 3D movie ... ..."
"Sheriff Woody, a good-hearted cowboy doll who belongs to a young boy named Andy, sees his position as Andy's favorite toy jeopardized when his parents buy him a Buzz Lightyear action figure. Even worse, the arrogant Buzz thinks he's a real s.p.a.ceman on a mission to return to his home planet.
When Andy's family moves to a new house, Woody and Buzz must escape the clutches of maladjusted neighbor and reunite with their boy ... ..."
Taking a few minutes, Eric roughly told them the story of "".
"When I met John last time, I told him i will invest $30 million in this project, of course, the budget can be expanded if needed, I just want you to do your best when making it. For me, it's okay to fail once, but I think Pixar can't afford to fail this time."
executives faces showed a relieved expression, with Pixar previous earning records, if they wanted to keep going on the road of 3D animation, they will need some financial a.s.sistance from the outside.
Eric was very pleased with there reaction, although he knew that 3D animation would be the mainstream of animated movies in the near future, if he told them now, these people will not believe. So, he Might as well change his tone and give them some pressure.
Eric looked at 's Clothing, and moved sideways to let her get in: "Why are you dressed like this? ... ... you look like your a.s.sistant Alison?"
"I made Alison dress up like me, to get rid of the paparazzi." Julia spoke with a little pride in her voice.
"What would you like to drink?" Eric asked her, as he went to the refrigerator.
"Coffee, without sugar, and not too hot."
"oh! I see" said Eric, and decided to give Julia a gla.s.s of juice.
She gave him a blank look, but still picked up the gla.s.s of juice. "You're always so awful."
Eric sat on the couch again, looked at Julia with great interest and said: "You changed a lot ah, look at this posture, listen to the tone, just like a top Hollywood actress. If I was a fan, I wouldn't be able to stop myself from asking you for a signature."
"No problem. Where should I sign?" Julia magically took a pen from her bosom.
Eric looked at the ceiling for a while, as if thinking about something. Then suddenly pulled the waistband of his slacks and looked inside, shaking his head he said: "No, if you don't get it hard, you won't be able to sign it."
Pfff.
Spiting a mouthful of juice at Eric, her face turned pink, panicking she lifted the cup of juice to hide her embarra.s.sment.
After a while, Julia put down the cup and said: "I heard you bought an animation studio?"
"Well, it's tiring to shoot live movies. I'm going to change direction and guide animated movies."
She crossly glared at Eric: "Are you serious?"
"Yes I'm serious." sitting up straight, he asked: "Well, what can I do for you?"
