Hollywood starts with animation

Burbank Villa District.

Zhu Ke, who was finally busy with his work, had a few days of free time. No, this evening, Zhu Ke invited a few good friends to visit his home.

One of Pixar's Five Tigers: John Lasseter;

One of the Pixar Five Tigers: Andrew Stanton;

Hollywood newcomer: Charlize Theron;

A total of three of them were invited. Under the arrangement of the housekeeper and the maid, a dining table was placed beside the swimming pool of the villa, and there were many colorful lights around.

"Oh my God!"

As soon as he sat down, Lasseter yelled: "Are you really the Zhuke I know?!"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Ke puzzled.

"Yes, John, what are you making a fuss about?" Andrew Stanton was also curious.

Andrew Stanton is not a general.

He and John Lasseter are both senior employees of Pixar Animation, second only to Lasseter.He is the creator and director of the three series of animations "Bug Crisis", "Finding Nemo" and "Brain Squad".

You say oscar?

Ha ha!

Pixar Five Tigers, which one does not have the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film Award?

In 2009, the Pixar Five Tigers, and even the five of them, were awarded a lifetime achievement award at the Venice Film Festival!

Even now in 1997, Andrew Stanton is still a great god in the field of proper animation, not less famous than John Lasseter.

Of course, in the future, Andrew will also have a bad reputation!

Andrew, who has been struggling in the field of animation, one day unexpectedly went to shoot a live-action movie.Well, that is the famous "Alien Battlefield", the production cost is as high as 250 million US dollars, as a result, after the film was released, Disney almost didn't lose it!

Well, the kind that has lost blood!

These are all things that happened in the original time and space history, but now it is only 97 years, who knows what will happen in the future?

"Man, you don't even know?!"

Lasseter looked at his partner Andrew with surprise.

Charlize Theron on the side also smiled without saying a word.

"Look, guys. Boston's big lobster, Texas Souk steak, imported pasta, Newfoundland snails, oh, there is even 77 years of Romani Conti red wine. Zhuke, my goodness, your old man When is it so generous?!"

Lasseter exclaimed.

When the voice fell, Zhu Ke's old face turned black in an instant.

Is there such a burying person!

The emperor also pointed to the sumptuous dishes on the table: "Zuke, I think John is right. We have known each other for more than two years, and the number of times you have invited me to dinner is only a handful. I won’t say it, except a few times. Outside of the movie celebration banquet, every time you ask me for a meal that does not exceed US$200. This time it is so rich, it’s weird."

After speaking, she added: "There is a problem, you must have a problem!"

Sure it!

That's right, the two emperors of Serbia and Lasseter, the expressions at the moment clearly looked like "you have a problem".

"I said you two, there are good things to eat, can't you stop your mouths?"

Rao is Zhu Ke, who has seen many big scenes. At this moment, he is making a fool of himself in front of his friends, and he can't help his face flushing.

Andrew on the side could not help muttering: "I said why Zhuke, never invited me to dinner, it turned out to be stingy."

Damn it!

Hearing this muttering, Zhuke almost did not run away!

What a shame!

Laozi is obviously frugal, okay, when does it become stingy?

"Guys, don't you want to ruin my reputation? If I invite you to a big meal this time, doesn't it mean that I am not a stingy person, Zhuke Wald, on the contrary, I am quite generous to friends !" Zhu Ke defended.

Reputation must not be stinky, and people must not collapse.

We also have ID cards, and we are the ones who want to be defensive. How can we let you corrupt the reputation of the Sajia family?

"Zuke, shouldn't you ask me for help?" Lasseter asked cautiously.

Help?

Congratulations, you got it right!

That's right, Zhuke invited Lasseter and Andrew to a sumptuous dinner today, and he really has something to ask them for help.

In addition to the production of the second season of "SpongeBob SquarePants", Zhuke's Water World Studio is currently working on "Finding Nemo" and strive to complete the production and release within three years.

but.

At present, Water World Animation Studio has reported that it has encountered considerable difficulties.

There are great difficulties in the design of 3D computer animation characters such as hair, scales, water patterns, light grain effects, and so on.In other words, the technology is not in place to maximize the beauty of the ocean.

Once the effect is not up to the standard, it is bound to greatly affect the box office of "Finding Nemo".

This result is unacceptable to Zhuke!

On behalf of Water World Animation Studio, Steven Solenberg applied to Pixar for a technology transfer buyout, but it turned out to be rejected.

Well, the kind without hesitation.

"Man, it turns out you were talking about this!"

Lasseter suddenly realized: "I know about this. Although Andrew and I are not responsible for the technology transfer, we have heard about it. It was Jobs himself who personally rejected your transaction application."

Damn it!

I knew it was him!

Zhuke almost yelled.

Although he had some friendship with Steve Jobs, he refused to mention any cooperation or transaction again, and among them, he was not lacking in revenge because Zhu Ke did not transfer ICQ shares to him.

Don't doubt, Jobs is sometimes such a confessed person.

"John, don't talk about these useless. Just say, can you help with this?" Zhu Ke stared.

Immediately, Charlize, John, and Andrew burst out laughing.

"Don't be anxious! Can't I help you talk to Jobs?" Lasseter laughed.

Andrew also said: "Just for the first time Zhuke invited me to dinner, it is still such a rich meal, I will also help."

Hearing this, Zhu Ke immediately burst into joy.

In fact, Zhuke knew that Jobs was not unwilling to trade technology, he was just a child with a temper.As long as Zhu Ke insists, he will definitely win.After all, Pixar does not transfer technology from one family to another.

However, this is bound to waste a lot of Zhuke's time.

Now that there are two of Lasseter and Andrew, they must be caught in their hands!

"Come on, I'll have a drink. Good guys, Romani Conti in 1977, a bottle of 40,000 dollars, don't waste it."

Speaking of the $40,000 price tag of Romani Conti in 1977, Zhu Ke really feels distressed.If this bottle of wine is kept for another ten years, the price will at least double again.

However, occasionally sharing with friends, Zhuke's current financial resources are still acceptable.

......

The next day.

Zhuke, who slept until noon, received a joint invitation from 20th Century Fox and Paramount.

Invite Zhu Ke to attend the movie "Titanic" on August 22, which was jointly invested and shot by the two film companies.

"Did the ship hit an iceberg? You can go and see." Zhu Ke laughed.

"" The second update is sent.

Thanks to the book friends for their rewards
