Chapter 475： Pixar high-level

Please remember the website of this site:; Please post it to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum to recommend the promotion introduction! 500 South Buena Vista Avenue, Burbank, California, this is the headquarters of Walt Disney, Walk north from the overpass that connects Disney and the entertainment department of the TV station, pass two intersections, and then turn into a quiet street, which is Jenkins Pictures. On the left side of the Jenkins Pictures building, there are three buildings connected by an air corridor. The square building, this is the latest public office building purchased by Pixar Studios.

Completely different from the previous life, after purchasing these three buildings, Pixar relocated from the San Francisco area to the Greater Los Angeles area. Although there would be quite a few issues involved, as early as the beginning of the year, Ryan asked his team to assist Pixar. The administrative department of the company will work together to find ways to solve the worries of employees.

In fact, 99% of the problems, to put it bluntly, are the problem of money. The Pixar family now has a big business and has set a budget to solve the problems that employees may encounter after the relocation.

Think about the move in 1990. Pixar was facing bankruptcy with only dozens of employees. Now Pixar has a market value of billions of dollars and has hundreds of employees. It is itself a leading animation studio in Hollywood.

The iconic table lamp was erected in front of the company's front door early, and just before Thanksgiving, with the help of the "Monster Electric Company" sales momentum, the company moved into Burbank as a whole.

Of course, parties are inevitable after the housewarming. After the Thanksgiving holiday, Pixar held up a celebration party in the company's newly designed employee entertainment hall.

"In the first week, I was on the top of the box office rankings. North America alone earned US$69.79 million. In the second week, the box office fell by less than 30%, and I got close to US$52 million, making it the top of the box office rankings again! "

The person speaking to Ryan is Shirley Lansing, and Paramount Pictures is the distributor of Pixar Studios. The higher the box office of the movie, the more profit they can make. "Ryan. It looks like this year. The top two in the total box office list have already been booked by you."

"Thank you." Ryan raised the cup to her, "We are a win-win!"

Then he asked, "I heard Leon say the release time of "Mission Impossible 2" will be postponed?"

"Hmm~" Shirley Lansing nodded and explained, "It's just after the New Year, we don't want to face your "Gladiator" directly."

"This movie may not be released on time." Ryan's words sounded helpless. The expression is still relaxed, Shirley Lansing knows very well that Ryan is no longer the boy he was when he first worked with Paramount, "Why don't we bet $100, I guess "Gladiator" will be released on time."

After making a few jokes, Ryan responded to the person who said hello. Walking to the side of the Pixar animation character display area, two girls with short and long hair are facing the monsters of the power company.

"Alison, aren't you the voice of the movie? Why didn't I hear your voice?"

"Dear Christine, my voice-over role is a two-year-old girl." Tyler rolled his eyes at her, "Of course there are very few lines."

"It turns out that you made those creaking grotesque calls." Kristen Stewart suddenly realized.

Probably heard footsteps. Tyler turned his head to see Ryan, wrinkled his nose and said, "I have been selling three dubbed cartoons in a row. You have to give me some rewards?"

"Then what do you want, dear."

Seeing the little girl's open arms, Ryan had to give her a light hug, then rubbed the head of the tomboy next to her, "Alison. When did you come back from London? Why didn't you notify me?"

"Huh~" The little girl wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, "I don't want to delay your time to pick up girls and see a dude who loves one!"

With that, she looked dissatisfiedly at Charlize Theron who was socializing in the crowd.

Perhaps when he was growing up, or perhaps it was nearly a year of studying in London, Ryan felt that Taylor seemed to have matured.

However, emotional matters are hard to understand. Besides, the opposite is just an eleven-year-old girl.

If you only look at the height, Taylor is already four feet six inches, she leaned in and said in a low voice. "How about Nicole? Don't tell me you made her sad again, otherwise, I will show you good-looking!"

A small fist shook in front of Ryan's eyes.

"She will be back, but not now." Thinking of the little girl's big mouth, Ryan swallowed what he almost vomited again, "Alison, you should consider your studies more."

"Hi, Tyler." Charlize's voice came from Ryan's side.

"Hello, Miss Theron." Miss Taylor Swift immediately became a standard lady, "It's nice to meet you!"

Probably noticing the eyes that Ryan moved over, the little girl immediately changed her expression, "Well, Charlie, don't disturb you and Ryan, I'll go to Christine."

"Taylor is cute." Charlize said looking at the girl who left.

"Don't be fooled by her appearance." Ryan picked up Charlize and walked towards the place where Pixar's top leaders gathered. "My lovely sister, privately, is a lawless little devil."

Several Pixar executives surrounded a lot of people. The continuous success of the animated feature film project has made this group of idealists become well-known figures in the industry. Their struggle and persistence are like the American dream. The same, has been praised and sought after by many media one after another.

Including Ed Camel, John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Peter Dougert and others, not only gained fame, but also received large sums of money such as salary, equity dividends and related movie sharing.

Perhaps the billionaires are a little exaggerated, but the multi-millionaires are outright.

Since the box office of "Monsters Electric Company" was released in the first week, Pixar's stock price has completely ignored the declining Nasdaq index and ushered in the fastest rising period of the year. The single share price not only quickly rose back to its March price , The market value exceeded six billion US dollars for the first time.

Although there are factors to raise funds from Wall Street, it is self-evident that successful films have driven the producer's share price.

What kind of benefits can animated films bring?

For Hollywood, this is no secret at all. Pixar has naturally become the envy and goal of many companies. Benefits determine their respective positions. Ryan knows this well, and this is also one of the reasons he introduced Wall Street Capital to Pixar Studios. the reason.

After the people around gradually dispersed, Shirley Lansing suddenly came over and asked, "I heard that the next feature animation film is "Toy Story 3"?"

"Yes, we have prepared the script..."

Andrew Stanton, who has been presiding over the screenwriting work, was suddenly embarrassed, "We still need to get Ryan's authorization for adaptation."

Several people at the scene looked over, and Ryan suddenly shook his head and said, "I don't think it is a good idea to continue the "Toy Story" series now."

"Why?" the youngest Peter Dougter asked impatiently.

"I have already selected the next work for you. In fact, the script was completed a few years ago." Ryan didn't seem to notice the frowning of Pixar executives, and said to himself, "My "Finding Nemo" in the storybook..."

"Ryan, do you know how difficult it is to reproduce the underwater world with existing animation technology?" John Lasseter retorted vaguely.

"I believe you can solve it." Ryan interrupted Peter Dougt, who wanted to continue talking with a wave of his hand. "That's it for now. It's a public occasion. We will solve these small problems in private."

The argument on their side has attracted a lot of attention. Ryan shook his head, raised Charlize and walked towards the door with a frown, seeming a little unhappy.

"This is the so-called non-interference with the normal operation of Pixar Studios!"

The young and energetic Peter Dougert murmured, and the people around who had heard the controversy became more curious. It seems that Pixar Studios is no different from other companies. There are also many conflicts between management and major shareholders. , It’s just that past successes have all covered these.

"Ryan is only twenty years old, and some thoughts are normal." Ed Kamel whispered a few words of persuasion, "The problem should be solved by the board of directors."

It is impossible to unite among the top executives of each company, and everything at this party seems to be normal.

Indeed, compared to the Disney shareholders meeting in previous years, Roy Disney and Michael Eisner directly filmed the scene of the table quarrel, which is far behind.

However, the people at the party were so messy that these things inevitably spread out.

A few days later, Pixar’s internal staff broke the news to the media. Regarding the choice of the next animation, Ryan and Pixar’s management had a serious disagreement. Neither party could persuade anyone. Although there was no quarrel, the scene was different. It's cold and scary.

Although the project "Finding Nemo" was finally passed, the unhappiness on the faces of several Pixar executives ~ www.novelhall.com ~ can be seen by everyone.

What is the fastest spread in Hollywood? It must be gossip news.

When Ryan went to Jenkins Pictures, he was asked this question by reporters. There is nothing to hide. He bluntly said, "Yes, we have different opinions, but the dispute is limited to the work level. This is normal. Isn't it? This will not bother Pixar, nor will it affect our personal relationship."

"But you introduced Wall Street capital to Pixar, diluting the shares in the hands of many executives and causing them serious dissatisfaction."

"I am the one who dilutes the most shares!" Ryan directly rewarded the reporter with your stupid expression, and said unceremoniously, "I understand what you are thinking, but it is a pity that Pixar is still a united whole, not like you think. Split like that!"

"What about the "Gladiator" plagiarism incident?" The reporter was obviously unwilling to give up, "You haven't responded to it, are you guilty?"

"You will see the results soon!"
