Hollywood Starts with Animation

Burbank Villas.

Zhu Ke, who was finally busy with his work, had a few days to spare. No, this evening, Zu Ke invited a few good friends to come to his house.

One of the five Pixar generals: John Lasseter;

One of the Pixar Five: Andrew Stanton;

Hollywood's newest flower: 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 many colorful lights were lit around.

"Oh my God!"

As soon as he was seated, Lasseter shouted, "Are you really the Zucker I know?!"

"What's wrong?" Zucker asked in confusion.

"Yeah John, what the hell are you making a fuss about?" Andrew Stanton on the side was also curious.

Andrew Stanton is not a generalist either.

Like John Lasseter, he is a veteran of Pixar Animation, second only to Lasseter. He is the creator and director of the three animation series "A Bug's Life", "Finding Nemo" and "Inside Out".

You mean Oscar?

Ha ha!

Which of the Pixar Five Tigers doesn't have the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film in hand?

In 2009, the Pixar Five Tigers, and even the five of them, were awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Venice Film Festival!

Even now in 1997, Andrew Stanton is a proper animation god, as famous as John Lasseter.

Of course, in the future, Andrew will also have a day of insecurity!

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

Well, the kind that loses old blood!

These are all things that happened in the history of the original time and space. Now it is only 97 years. Who knows what the future will be like?

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

Lasseter looked at his partner Andrew in amazement.

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

"Look, guys. Boston lobster, Texas Suk steak, imported pasta, Newfoundland snails, oh, and '77 Romanée-Conti. Oh my God, Zucker, you old man. When were you so generous?!"

Lasseter shouted.

The voice fell, and Zhu Ke's old face instantly darkened.

Is there such a thing as slaughtering people!

Sai Huang 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 you have invited me to dinner only a handful of times. I won't mention it, except for a few times. Outside of the movie celebrations, every time you ask me for a meal that doesn't exceed $200. It's strange that it's so generous this time."

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

Promise!

That's right, the emperor and Lasseter's expressions at the moment are clearly like "you have a problem".

"I said you two, you have something good to eat, can't you keep your mouth shut?"

Rao is Zhu Ke, who has seen many big scenes, but at the moment he makes a fool of himself in front of his friends, and he can't help but blushing.

Andrew, who was on the side, couldn't help muttering: "I said why Zuke never invited me to dinner. It turned out to be stingy."

What the hell!

Hearing this muttering, Zucker almost went wild!

Shame!

Lao Tzu is obviously frugal, so when did it evolve into stingy?

"Guys, don't you ruin my reputation, okay? I invited you to a big dinner this time, but it doesn't mean that I, Zucker Wald, are not a stingy person, on the contrary, I am a very generous person to my friends. !" Zucker defended.

The reputation cannot stink, and the character cannot collapse.

We also have ID cards, and we are people who want our face. How can we let you ruin the reputation of the family?

"Zuck, are you asking me for help?" Lasseter asked cautiously.

ask for help?

Congratulations, you guessed it right!

That's right, Zucker invited Lasseter and Andrew to a sumptuous dinner today, and he really asked them for help.

In addition to being busy with the production of the second season of "SpongeBob SquarePants" recently, Zucker's water world studio is mainly working on "Finding Nemo", and strives to complete the production and release within three years.

But.

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

In the design of 3D computer animation characters such as hair, scales, water patterns, light particle effects, etc., great difficulties have arisen. That is to say, the technology is not in place to maximize the beauty of the ocean.

Once the effect does not meet the standard, it will inevitably greatly affect the box office of "Finding Nemo".

This result is unacceptable to Zu Ke!

Steven Solenberg, on behalf of Waterworld Animation Studios, applied for a technology transfer buyout from Pixar, but was rejected.

Well, the kind without hesitation.

"Man, that's what you're talking about!"

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

What the hell!

I knew it was him!

Zucker almost yelled.

Although he has some friendship with Jobs, when it comes to re-cooperating or trading, he always refuses, and among them, he has a lot of revenge because Zucker did not transfer ICQ shares to him.

Do not doubt, Steve Jobs is sometimes such a person who admits to death.

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

Immediately, Charlize, John, and Andrew burst into laughter.

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

Andrew also said, "It's the first time you invited me to dinner, Zuke, and it's such a sumptuous meal. I'll help you too."

Hearing this, Zhu Ke immediately became elated.

In fact, Zucker knew that Jobs was not unwilling to trade technology, he was just a child with a temper. As long as Zucker persists, he will definitely win in the end. After all, Pixar's technology transfer is not a family or two.

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

Now that Lasseter and Andrew are on the scene, they must be caught!

"Come here, I'll open the wine. Good guy, '77 Romanée Conti, $40,000 a bottle, don't waste it."

Speaking of the $40,000 price tag of the 1977 Romanee Conti, Zucker was really distressed. If this bottle of wine is kept for another ten years, the price will at least double.

However, occasionally sharing it with friends is acceptable with Zucker's current financial resources.

......

the next day.

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

Invite Zucker to attend the movie "Titanic" that was jointly invested and filmed by their two film companies on August 22.

"Did the big ship hit the iceberg? You can go and have a look." Zucker laughed.

" "The second is sent.

Thanks to the book friends for the reward of "eating books and eating books"
