Chapter 423： Horse manure and horse urine

Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! On the first day after entering the new millennium in February, Disney held a press conference at Burbank’s headquarters to announce Tyrese Gibson, Emile Morik, Ilke Bergs and Haas Duhamel will join Disney Animation Studios as its important technical managers.

The names of these four people are relatively unfamiliar to most of the media. Only the reporters who ran computer animation at the school know that they are definitely masters in computer animation technology because they come from the core technical management department of Pixar Studios.

Like Ryan, there is no corner in the world that can't be moved. Will the price be tempting?

The four people triggered the breach of contract compensation clause in the contract and bought out the remaining contracts at a high price. The money will naturally be paid by Disney, and after the job change, both positions and salaries have risen several steps.

The most important point is that these four people also used another clause in the contract and sold a total of 1.6% of Pixar shares in their hands to Walt Disney at a premium of 20%.

And Disney officially became a shareholder of the competitor, Pixar Studios.

However, this has not attracted too many people's attention. After all, it is normal for Hollywood producers to hold each other's shares, and this share of shares is far from shaking Pixar's current status.

The reason is simple, Ryan holds absolute controlling rights in Pixar Studios.

Ryan's shares were inevitably diluted in the 1995 listing and subsequent issuance of stocks, but to this day, he still holds 51% of Pixar's shares, which is enough to maintain control of Pixar.

If you add the shares in Nicole's hands, Pixar is almost completely named Jenkins.

Disney's digging into the corner of Pixar did not bring a chain reaction. From the animated films being produced in the stock market, Pixar Studios is still moving forward step by step.

Actually. Only the executives of Ryan and Pixar know that Disney has used all the means within the rules to frequently contact with other shareholders of Pixar Studios, wanting to acquire the shares in their hands.

however. These people are not the core founders of Pixar such as Ed Camel and John Lasseter. What Disney can give now is far from tempting them. It seems that all of this is useless.

Even Michael Eisner’s agent personally approached Nicole Kidman. Ryan had no way of knowing what they were talking about, but he believed in Nicole, and Nicole did not let him down.

Ryan is not a fool. Coupled with the memory of his previous life, he faintly understood Disney's request-the acquisition of Pixar Studios!

It's really interesting. After Ryan learned the news, he sighed with emotion, and his plan only started a little bit. Disney has kicked off the curtain...

Probably it hit the wall one after another. It didn't take long for Disney to quiet down temporarily, but another group company jumped out.

The Vivendi Group from France officially submitted an application for the good faith acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment to Ryan's agent Scott Swift. Because of the premium acquisition method, the total transaction volume reached 4.5 billion US dollars. .

Vivendi is coming menacingly. It seems that they have reached a tacit agreement with Disney and have chosen a very suitable entry point.

If it is changed to another time, Ryan will still worry, but now in 2000, Cisco is striding towards the throne of the world's largest company by market value.

At that time, where will these group companies have extra energy to acquire it companies?

but. Disney is definitely an exception. After all, Pixar Studios can revive their traditionally superior animation department, and common interests are not allowed to bring the conflicting Disney board together again.

In the free time filming "Gladiator", this is Ryan's most consideration.

Michael Eisner has been in charge of Disney for so many years. It is enough to prove his skill and ability. Facing the constantly splitting Disney board, he just used the common interests of Pixar to bring these people together again and further consolidated his power and prestige.

Just like Ryan himself, use common interests to build a common front.

Even if it is an idiot, it can come out. If Disney can really put Pixar under its banner, it will not only reduce the biggest competitor in animation, but also abandon the hand-drawn animation department that has become a tasteless hand-drawn animation department and re-establish its dominance in animation.

What should I do? This is also a question Ryan is considering.

Although he holds more than 50% of Pixar's shares in his hand, he takes the initiative, but passive counterattack has never been his choice.

Originally, his purpose was very clear. It was to fight for the right to speak in Disney, and then to exert momentum to oust Michael Eisner. Now, in the next few years, the entire Disney seems to be going crazy with the tyrant, and the power of capital is occupied. Absolute advantage.

Ryan tightened the leather shawl wrapped around his shoulders, rubbing the Roman dagger in his hand, thinking about his plans through the memories of past and present lives.

After a long time, he looked at the mountains and forests in the distance.Since he was going crazy, then everyone went crazy together. It is considered that this crazy plan has failed. It is a big deal to sell all the companies, and he can be a rich family at ease. Weng, if successful, then he can become the top group of people in Hollywood and even in North America...

Of course, to do all this, you must first ensure the stability of your front. Ryan knows that the strongest castles often collapse from the inside.

The interest group around him is completely centered on him and Nicole...

"Ryan, what do you think?" Ridley Scott came over and patted his arm armor. "It's about to start shooting."

It has been more than a week since I joined the shooting. Most of the shots are literary dramas. Ryan is also slowly looking for feelings. Recently, he has taken a lot of shots. When the deputy director found a suitable place, Ridley Scott Te altogether brought the crew out and prepared to shoot the opening game with relatively low requirements for individuals.

Due to the danger of burning woodland in this war, the crew was rejected by many regions. Last month, the deputy director contacted a forest near Farnham. This time, luck can be extremely good, because the British Forestry Commission It has been decided to cut down all the trees in the area, which is suitable for the crew to film.

"We will help you burn all this forest!" This is what Ridley Scott said in the receipt.

Although the filming time planned by the crew is only four days, the props team has done a lot of preparation for this. Dozens of ballistas and catapults are necessary, in addition to 20,000 burning arrows and 10,000 conventional ones. Arrow.

As the photographers and cameras could not keep up with the horses rushing down the steep slopes and crossing the woods, the crew also laid temporary guide rails in the woods and battlefields to install the cameras on them to capture the spectacular scenes along the terrain.

Ryan walked next to his old comrade-in-arms and gently patted the long horse face. Before Brigo arrived in Los Angeles, he switched to the UK to take part in the filming of an epic masterpiece again.

"Briggo, we are going to fight together again." Ryan turned on his horse and moved away from the shooting site.

Hundreds of extras and British soldiers gathered in the camp filled with wooden stakes. They were all dressed as standard Roman soldiers. They moved back and forth under the command of several officers. It was a bit of tension before the battle.

There is no shot of Ryan now. He is riding Brigo slowly in the mountains and forests, not only to warm up the horse, but also to familiarize it with the terrain.Other stuntmen who serve as the cavalry team are doing the same. jobs.

The whole morning was basically spent in this state. After lunch, the crew moved to the woods and prepared to take shots of the cavalry.

"The thirty-second scene, the twenty-first act, now begins!"

This was another pre-war mobilization, but compared to the one a few months ago, the atmosphere was lighter. After all, this was a speech given the absolute upper hand of the Roman Legion.

Before playing the Malay Cavalry, Ryan stopped Brigo, "Brothers! Warriors!"

"Maximos!" The cavalry raised their weapons in salute to their generals.

"In three weeks, I will harvest crops in the fields, imagine where you want to go, your wish will soon come true!"

Ryan paused for a while, and after Brigo’s scream, he continued, “Don’t retreat, follow me! If you find yourself alone, don’t worry when you are alone on the grassland facing the sun, it’s because You are in heaven, and you are dead..."

All the cavalry laughed.

"Brothers!" Ryan looked extremely serious, "Our deeds will be immortal!"

Ridley Scott suddenly yelled'cut', and then yelled to this side, "Expression, pay attention to your expressions, you are fighters who are going to the battlefield, you are not joking, especially Ryan, be serious. , Focus on it!"

Nodded, Ryan waved his hand to apologize, and when the deputy director asked, he made an ok gesture Not long after this time, the director called to stop again. The problem was not the actor, but The dog of Maximus probably blew through the woods in the distance, and made a few noises, which caused this big dog rented from the circus to bark constantly, which made the use of live recordings. The crew had to be interrupted.

After finally waiting for the trainer to settle the dog actor, the horse has a problem again.

Since the crew does not have many scenes for shooting horse battles, most of the horses are temporarily rented. Unlike the ``Lord of the Rings'' crew, they have undergone a long period of training and have been standing here for a long time. Began to solve physiological problems.

The unpleasant smell of horse dung and horse urine suddenly filled the woods.
