Chapter 908： Don't work well

≈lt;!--o--≈t;

Pixar Industrial Park, Emeryville, California.

Under the leadership of Idel Camel and John Lasseter, Ronan visited every department of the Pixar studio as the master.

This is different from the orderly relativity entertainment, and it is also different from the busy DreamWorks animation studio Ronan has seen.

Pixar Studio has a unique and mature company culture.

From managers to ordinary employees, Pixar's employees are like a group of big kids, and the company is like a playground.

If anyone who doesn't know Pixar Studio comes over, they will think that this company is not good enough, and everyone from top to bottom is slowing down.

In the words of John Lasseter, if you want to make an animated film at Pixar Studios, you must not work well.

The so-called "do not work well" of course does not refer to passive sabotage or cutting corners, but the animator never regards creation as an unspeakable "work" for the boss, but with great enthusiasm for creation. "Hobbies" and "playing" for myself.

In Pixar's philosophy, only in this relaxed, cheerful, energetic and enthusiastic atmosphere can good works appear.

It is precisely these facts that created the Pixar studio's hangers.

The history of entrepreneurship and growth of Pixar Studio is the history of the entire development of computer c animation.

Ronan did not intend to change the atmosphere of Pixar's studio in the past, let alone impose his own ideas on them.

Of course, it is impossible to let them have fun without restriction, and a rein is also necessary.

Adel Kamel continues to serve as the CEO of Pixar Studios. In addition to continuing to serve as the Art and Technical Director of Pixar Studios, John Lasseter also holds this position concurrently at Princess Animation Studios.

Except for the boss changed to Ronan, the animation project approval authority was transferred from Steve Jobs to Ronan. After the acquisition was completed, Pixar Studios did not change much.

After watching the large Pixar amusement park full of weird toys and weird employees, Ronan followed Idel Camel and John Lasseter into a conference room.

"This is the office prepared for you." Adel Kamel introduced. "We don't have decorations for the time being. I don't know what style you like."

Ronan took a look. The office was full of Pixar cartoons. There were toy dolls of Pixar characters everywhere, and even the lamp on the desk was the famous jumping lamp.

"That's it." Ronan won't stay here for long. "I like this free style very much."

John Lasseter has dealt with Ronan many times, knowing that Ronan is not the kind of person who asks a lot on side matters, and said, "I believe that Pixar Studios and Relativity Entertainment can achieve a seamless connection."

Ronan laughed and said, "We have to work hard in this direction. Robert Iger and the people from Embassy Pictures will come to talk with you about marketing. The channels of Relativity Entertainment are all channels of Pixar Studios."

Pixar Studios is already a wholly-owned subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, there is no doubt in this regard.

Adel Kamel smiled and said, "I will talk about the work plan of the Pixar studio at this stage and the next stage."

Ronan said, "Technically I am a layman, but I still have a certain degree of judgment on film projects."

John Lasseter said, "Ronan's vision is definitely the best in Hollywood."

"In terms of technology, Pixar Studios has been developing brand new hardware plug-ins and animation production software." Idel Kamel turned to the topic "Technical development has always been a big expense for Pixar Animation Studios."

He then turned to the animated feature film project. "Because of Disney, "The Incredibles" has not finished the final production. Now you don't need to consider Disney. "The Incredibles" will complete the final work in about a month."

Ronan said, "Embassy Pictures has formulated a preliminary publicity and release plan for "The Incredibles". The schedule is this summer, whether it will be in May or June. You will discuss with Garcia Rodríguez."

Idel Kamel continued, "Cars 2 is nearing completion, and it is expected that it will be fully produced by April. This film..."

Ronan had already asked Embassy Pictures to make corresponding preparations, saying, "As long as conditions permit, the release schedule can be placed this year."

"Production has already begun, but there is one project that has not yet been completed." Adel Kamel said. "A project about rats that can make top-notch meals is called Ratatouille."

"I've seen the script, it's very good." Ronan knew that this film, according to the traditional translation style of Pixar animation films used by the company on the other side of the Pacific, should be called "Food Story". He asked, "When can this film be completed?"

John Lasseter replied, "It was originally planned to be completed in 2006, but due to Disney's incident, it is estimated that it will be May and June 2007."

Ronan nodded slowly, "Don't worry, go ahead according to your plan."

Adel Kamel added, "There is a project to be established, a science fiction theme about the earth's environment, called "Robot Walli", with Andrew Stanton as the director and John as the producer."

On the bright side, the scripts and plans of these projects have long been sent to Ronan, and Ronan has also seen them, but more impressions come from the previous movies.

Those who have seen "Robot Walli" will be extremely impressed.

These are all animated feature film projects that Pixar Studios has set up before. Although the person who passed the project is Steve Jobs, now he has changed Ronan and will fully support it.

Adel Kamel continued, "There is another project that needs your approval. The relevant script and plan will be delivered to your office soon. This is a project initiated by Peter Dougter, a project about adventure and travel. Story."

Ronan roughly guessed that it should be "Travel around the Flying House".

"I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Ronan thought for a while, and then said, "The copyright of "Toy Story" has returned. I hope you can spare some effort to prepare for the third part."

Idel Kamut and John Lasseter looked at each other, seemingly worried.

Ronan simply said that "Ed, John, Pixar studios do not need to change their styles, let alone adapt to Relativity Entertainment. Everything is made according to your style and philosophy."

Hearing this, the heart that Idel Camel and John Lasseter had just mentioned was relieved.

Despite the various promises made before the acquisition, the two people are still worried that Ronan and Relativity Entertainment will interfere too much in the daily work of Pixar Studios.

Ronan also said, "You can use your imagination on original animation projects. I only have one condition. Pixar must allocate a part of its power to shoot and produce some sequels of big-selling movies."

He made no secret of "If Pixar has more business income, it can hold up more space for your imagination and technology."

This is a very simple truth. Perhaps Idel Camel and John Lasseter were true idealists when they joined Lucasfilm, but they experienced Steve Jobs’ acquisition of Pixar, and Disney After cooperating and entangled in share and copyright for more than ten years, Pixar changed hands again. The two people are no longer pure artists and idealists, but qualified producers and managers.

Why did Pixar Studios sign such a demanding contract with Disney? After all, there is no money, Steve Jobs can't afford Pixar.

Relativity Entertainment is indeed rich in wealth, but Pixar Studios wants to continue to have sufficient independence and must maintain separate financial accounting.

This requires Pixar studios to have more commercial income.

After many contacts, Idel Camel and John Lasseter could feel that Ronan should be a very human boss, but they also know that capital has never been human.

Steve Jobs once said that for money, Pixar guys can make any work!

Kadel Kamel did not hesitate and said directly, "Ronan, you are the boss, and Pixar Studios follow your decision completely!"

John Lasseter didn't say a word, he just sighed in his heart that the old man really got smarter and smarter.

Ronan smiled and said, "I also believe that Pixar Studios can produce more classic animations under your leadership."

John Lasseter said, "When the transition period is over, I will immediately call a meeting to discuss the preliminary matters of the third part of the "Toy Story" series."

Ronan nodded in satisfaction. "This is also the voice of the audience." He added, "John, you have to take care of the Princess Animation Studio. They are a lot behind in production technology."

John Lasseter said bluntly, "They are not only behind the technology, but also the concept. Those old Disney princess animated films are outdated."

"Things and concepts are all gradual." Ronan said, "Don't forget, they have worked for Disney Studios for more than ten years and have inherited many excellent genes from Disney animation production."

Pixar Studios means very clear Princess Animation Studios, as well as the Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio that has been established by Relativity Entertainment... Idel Kamel faintly guessed some of Ronan’s thoughts. "The future of Relativity Entertainment is in animation film production. Up..."

He did not go on Ronan took the initiative to answer, "Steven and I, and you, spent so much energy temporarily messing up Disney for what? The former overlord of animation movies? Temporarily beaten down, why don't we go to occupy this market?"

Ronan added, "Three different styles to maximize market share!"

Adel Kamel and John Lasseter nodded repeatedly.

Walt Disney squeezed everything Pixar Studio did, and Pixar Studio must return one by one!
