After the reception, John Lasseter did not leave immediately. He walked to the West Café of the Four Seasons Hotel. Since the other party can pass the message through his friends, he won’t be a stranger. I don't know who the person who dated me is? What's the purpose?
Under the guidance of the waiter, he came to a quiet partition and saw the man sitting at the table slowly sipping coffee. John Lasseter frowned. How could it be him?
Perhaps few people in the general public know him, but as a Hollywood insider, how could John Lasseter not know the helm or tyrant of Walt Disney?
"Please sit down, John."
After John Lasseter sat down, the waiter had served coffee and took the initiative to stay away from the partition.
"It is said that Pixar's new animated feature film is about to be completed?"
Probably it has been in control of Disney for too long, and certain things have become habit unconsciously, and Michael Eisner seems a bit strong.
"It will probably take a while." John Lasseter slowly sipped his coffee.
As an active-minded creator, he extremely hates this kind of atmosphere, this kind of atmosphere that restricts free thought.
"John, have you ever thought of returning to Disney." Michael Eisner did not have so much hypocrisy and politeness, and directly stated his purpose.
"Back to Disney?" John Lasseter frowned, and the other party's answer was within his expectations.
In fact, since "Toy Story", many companies have approached him, including Disney's animation department. But he refused one by one.
"I remember you left Disney in 1984 and joined Lucas' company. There are traces of Disney that can't be erased on your resume..." Michael Eisner suddenly laughed and said slowly and forcefully, "Back Disney, in charge of Disney’s animation department."
His eyesight was scorching, and the opponent was only Pixar's executive creative vice president. Even if you have some Pixar shares in your hand, it will never be too much. To be in charge of the animation department of a super giant like Walt Disney is a great honor and temptation...
You know, for half a century, Disney's animation has always been the number one in Hollywood, and even the number one in the world.
Unfortunately, Michael Eisner ignored it. He has been suppressing Disney's animation department. Disney's animation department may still rank first in Hollywood, but even the layman can see the downward trend.
If John Lasseter is not tempted, it must be false. He graduated from the California Institute of the Arts, and his first intern job was at Disney. His growth was closely tied to Disney. His youth and dreams were left there.
However, I saw the man sitting opposite, this Disney dictator. John Lasseter's heart faded.
Who is Michael Eisner? Crimsonism, illegal use of power, control of the board of directors, most importantly, he has always disliked animated films, and has been reducing investment in animated films. This has spread throughout the industry.
Also, would he really give the power of the animation department to an outsider like himself? John Lasseter believes that if he changes his job on the front foot, the opponent will prepare a deputy for him...
If there are no ready-made examples for comparison, John Lasseter might still think about it. The problem is that another person always trusts them and always supports them, even in the most difficult times, even if everyone sees them. When declining them, he still invested heavily.
If this is only the case, John Lasseter will only think that the other party is a smart investor in gratitude.
However, after the other party bought Pixar, apart from financial supervision, he did not interfere with any of their decisions. He completely entrusted Pixar's future to his group of idealists.
Pixar’s corporate culture, Pixar’s philosophy, Pixar’s persistence, and Pixar’s freedom are the keys to their success.
Can Walt Disney do this now? Can they do the decentralization of Ryan Jenkins?
"Mike, I think...it takes a long time to consider." John Lasseter declined gently.
"I'm waiting for your good news." Michael Eisner stood up, leaving the last sentence before leaving, "John, the doors of Disney will always be open to you."
Looking at the distant figure of the other party, John Lasseter thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the phone of the person who never harassed them.
Hung up the phone, Ryan lay down on the bed and stretched a long lazy waist. Michael Eisner would dig Pixar’s corner. This is normal, but it’s a pity that Disney is not in the new century, and smart people don’t. Join this muddy water at this time.
In fact, after the success of "Toy Story", digging Pixar technicians happened from time to time, and some people also chose to buy out their contracts and switch jobs.
However, whether it is Ryan or Pixar's senior executives, they don't care much. Hollywood has never blocked film technology. Only constant exchanges can drive the development of the entire industry.
As long as Pixar maintains its own corporate culture, maintains the stability of its core personnel, and appropriately replaces the old with the new, it is intentional and harmless.
Besides, Pixar cannot dominate the entire 3D animation market, otherwise, not to mention other interest groups, the federal government will be the first to find trouble, and the monopoly law is not a display.
The core personnel of Pixar are idealists. Although in the face of sufficient benefits, ideals are empty. The question is, can the current Michael Eisner and Disney’s management give enough benefits?
Ed Camel, John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and others not only hold Pixar shares, but salary and dividends are also among the top levels in the industry.
Disney's board of directors, will John Lasseter or a few others, once again break the balance of Disney's management? Michael Ovitz’s lessons for the past are right in front of him. When Michael Eisner advocated the introduction of this senior, when he was forced to resign, he not only took away 200 million US dollars in compensation, but also made the court order Disney’s directors to bear joint and several liabilities. Liability.
Even Michael Eisner’s supporters on the board have to consider whether there will be the next Michael Ovitz.
Also, will other companies give them the freedom that Pixar has given to these core personnel?
"What are you thinking about, so ecstatic?"
Nicole Kidman walked into the bedroom, holding a few disks in his hand, "Need a supper?"
"A lion jumped out to bite someone. I was thinking how I could not be bitten by it, um... I can kick him a few times as a counterattack."
Ryan lifted his head, and his eyes fell on the Australian girl. Nicole had just taken a shower. Her blond hair was wet and draped behind her head. The short bathrobe was tied loosely on her body. The neckline was sewn. Her movements will reveal beautiful scenery from time to time.
Because of the hard training, Nicole did not attend the evening reception. She will go to Australia tomorrow. Antonia Kidman has just experienced the pain of breaking up and needs her comfort. It is estimated that she will stay there for a while. time.
Even if it is two lives, the women Ryan has been close to can be counted with just a few fingers. The slender and slender body of the Australian diamond girl and the wild and unrestrained body covered in coldness, for him now, there is something wrong with him. Same as general attraction.
"Does it look good?" Nicole naturally noticed his gaze, knowing how to increase the fun and freshness between the two, "Do you want to see more?"
At first glance, this woman looked as cold as ice, but she was wild like a tornado in New Orleans...
I don’t know when, Nicole Kidman tied the thin strip of the bathrobe and dropped it on both sides. She stood in front of Ryan, half-concealed, clearly wanting someone’s life. When Ryan was full of anger, she suddenly turned around and walked to the side of the disk placed on the small table, and took out a bright red strawberry from it.
The slender eyes with endless charm, narrowed into a slit, and the corners of the eyebrows from time to time twitched Ryan's heartstrings. What's more, the bright red strawberry was sandwiched between the two slender fingers. His forehead slowly rolled down, across the tall nose, soft red lips, slender gooseneck...
In the wild, the Australian girl showed a more careful side. She knew how to arouse the man's interest in herself.
However, just as the atmosphere in the bedroom was about to reach its peak, Ryan's mobile phone that was thrown on the bedside table suddenly rang.
"Ryan, can you turn it off..."
Although he wanted to do this, there are only a few people who know his private number. Those who can call at this night must have urgent matters.
"Shhh..." Ryan raised her index finger to Nicole and connected to the phonePat..."
"Ryan, our people contacted Mr. Spearman, and he agreed to transfer the right to adapt the memoir to Jenkins Pictures, but made some..."
"The price?"
"No, the price he asked for was extremely low, and he didn't care about the money. His only request was to donate half of the movie's proceeds to several Jewish survivor organizations."
"Promise him, I must get this memoir as soon as possible." Ryan suddenly felt his scalp numb, and the strange taste almost made him tremble, and he couldn't help taking a long breath, "hiss..."
"Did something happen, Ryan?"
"No...no..." He slowly mixed his breath. From this angle, he could only see the blond hair scattered on his chest and abdomen, "Pat, and... there is one more thing, help me make an appointment with Roy. ? Disney, just say I ask him to play golf as soon as possible."
After hung up the phone, Ryan looked down, only to see the seductive eyes between the scattered golden hair. The long and flexible tongue gave him endless enjoyment. ()
