Chapter 1163: Without Butcher Zhang, we still have Butcher Li
A few days later, when the news came out, Ovitz realized what Lucas and he meant by 'that guy is playing a money game again' in Wu Cheng's villa that day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because the world's first computer animation film production studio was established in Burbank!
The computer animation production company was formed from the animation effects production department spun off from Lucas's Industrial Magic Light. Ed Catmoor himself was the head of this department, which is why he saw Wu Cheng talking to him at Wu Cheng's place that day.
The name of this company is 'Pixar', which is no different from the name of the 'Pixar' in the original plane. It's not because Wu Cheng is lazy...... In fact, it's because he's lazy and too lazy to choose a name.
And the word 'Pixar' made Ed Catmull and others somewhat grateful to Wu Cheng, the big boss, because the word 'Pixar' came from a computer mapping software they had developed before. Although it is suspected of being lazy, it gives them a kind of affection.
So, the name was decided.
The company's address is in the Burbank DreamWorks office building, and the head of the company is still Ed Cattermore, and John Lasseter, the creator of the short film "The Adventures of André and Willy," is his deputy.
And their first job was to make their company dynamic logo for Donglong International and DreamWorks. The DreamWorks logo is a little better, and the 2D animation will do the trick.
But the logo of Donglong International is a little difficult to solve, because there is an oriental dragon in it, and this dragon totem is the biggest problem that the studio has to overcome.
Therefore, when the outside world was still immersed in this news, they had already begun to bury their heads in dealing with the arrival of this eastern dragon.
And when the news of the establishment of this animation production studio spread in the media, Disney immediately felt that there was a rumor and that the grass and trees were all soldiers.
Because everyone knows that although Wu Cheng sometimes dies and burns money, he basically succeeds in earning back the money he burned.
Even if he failed to acquire the three buildings on the other side of the Xiangjiang River, it seemed that it was indeed a failed business at the time, and he directly lost hundreds of millions of yuan when he acquired it, but now it seems that this business has made money again. Because the real estate in Xiangjiang is recovering, housing prices have begun to rise.
Therefore, his behavior now seems to be indeed burning money, but no one can be sure whether he is preparing for the future.
Disney is doing animation, and although they have always wanted to develop into the adult world, no matter how much they toss, animation is their main workhorse.
Now I see Wu Cheng, a guy who can be said to have never failed, suddenly rushing towards the animation industry, although he is doing 3D animation, although 3D animation is very expensive, and many technologies have not yet been solved, but it still makes Disney feel pressure.
What is he trying to do? Does he want to challenge Disney for supremacy in the animation industry?
If someone else had done this, Disney's directors would have thought that person must be sick and made a very stupid decision.
But when this person is replaced by a person who has never failed in whatever he does, they naturally dare not easily put the word 'stupid' on his neck.
Since he didn't make a stupid decision to do so, wouldn't Disney be in danger?
The current president of Disney is the one who cheated Ovitz in the future of the original time and space, and made that incident an indelible stain on Ovitz's life - Michael Eisner. Eisner is a very capable and skillful character, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pit someone like Ovitz who can call the wind and rain in Hollywood.
This guy became the president of Disney last year, and as a result, Disney's profits have gone up this year. Although it doesn't seem to be a big improvement, it is definitely a boon for Disney, and before them, whether it was the company's movies or theme parks, the popularity was constantly declining. Although this is said to be affected by the economic downturn, it is more due to the management of the company itself.
You see, as soon as this person came on stage, Disney improved!
Moreover, his reform of Disney is still ongoing. History proves that during the years when this guy was in charge of Disney, Disney was indeed on the rise.
When this guy heard that Wu Cheng was working in a 3D computer animation film studio, he knew that Wu Cheng was definitely not untargeted. It is even more unlikely that Dongfang Cheng is making 'little toys' for his children, as Lucas said.
Eisner and Lucas were familiar with each other, and that's what Lucas told him when he called to ask why he had sold the animation production department of Industrial Magic.
Although with Dongfang Cheng's character, he would indeed do such a willful thing, but his intuition told him that Dongfang Cheng's action had a deep meaning.
However, with Disney's current situation, it is naturally impossible to free up its hands to try this aspect. Therefore, he directly asked the people below not to think too much, even if this computer animation studio is really successful by him in the future, then Disney and DreamWorks can still cooperate!
You see, our Disney is all about animation, and in terms of peripheral development and sales channels in this regard, DreamWorks is definitely not as good as our Disney.
Michael Eisner first drew a pie for the directors of the company, and then said that if computer animation really has a future, it is not too late for us to set up another company like this.
Of course, if there is a real future for computer animation films, there will definitely not be only one Pixar, right?
Eisner's proposal was indeed very reasonable, because a year later, in the second half of '86, a computer animation studio called 'Blue Sky Animation' was established.
And the boss behind this computer animation studio is none other than Joe's gang leader who left Apple and traveled around the world.
Wu Cheng was thinking before, without Pixar, how would Qiao Gang Leader play?
Then Qiao Gang Leader told him with facts that there is no Butcher Zhang, we still have Butcher Li, and there is no hairy pig, so we will eat it.
In fact, the reason why Qiao Gangster chose computer animation was because Wu Cheng's Pixar computer animation gave him a hint.
He'd been thinking about what he could do without Apple, what he wanted to do?
Over the years, he has been committed to the computer sector, and the industry he wants to do is naturally not too far away from this industry. And Wu Cheng's Pixar gave a wake-up call, and it turned out that he happened to meet the founder of the original space-time blue sky animation studio when he was traveling.
So, these two people, one has ideals, the other has ideals and money, and then the two hit it off. Finally, Pixar's opponent was born.
And for the matter of wrestling his wrist with Wu Cheng in the movie, Qiao Gang Leader is really not scared at all, why are you barefoot afraid that you are wearing shoes?
Of course, Wu Cheng is naturally unlikely to worry about what kind of threat Blue Sky Animation Studio will pose to him. Although this studio was set up by Qiao, although Blue Sky Animation was established only one year later than Pixar, it justified its name, that is, the time when the godhead was drafted, but it was several years later than Pixar.
Although many things in this time and space have changed now, especially in the entertainment industry, because of his Wu someone's chaotic intake, many things have been chaotic.
However, Wu is not without other back-ups.
For example, he can plagiarize those movies that condense the godhead of Blue Sky Animation first.
When those scripts were plagiarized by him, Blue Sky Animation had to create another script. And he can use these scripts to make Pixar climb high and lead step by step.
He didn't believe that in this kind of thing, he couldn't get a 'crossing party' by himself, and he couldn't get a 'native aborigine', which would be too embarrassing for the 'crossing party'.
Of course, there is no need to think much about monopolizing this industry, and others are not lost after being plagiarized.
Without "Ice Age", can't there be other works? Seriously, the works produced by Blue Sky Studio that he has seen are actually only the "Ice River Series".
But with Pixar in the technical lead, he is still confident in this.
Of course, these are all afterthoughts, and I will not show them for the time being.
In short, after Pixar, a computer animation film production studio, came out, some people said that he had more money to burn and have fun, while more people said they were looking forward to it. Because of his achievements in the movie, countless people believe that he will bring different surprises to everyone.
It's just that no one expected that the surprise they were looking forward to was several years, and it wasn't until the 90s that Pixar released its first feature-length animated film, "Toy Story".
Why is "Toy Story" still Pixar's first feature-length film? The reason is simple, because he doesn't want to add more problems to Pixar's employees.
With computer graphics in the early 90s, you let them try to make "Ice Age"?
Of course, these are also later words, and they will not be listed for the time being.
When the company Pixar was established, Wu Cheng went back to Treasure Island directly, because Meizu technology on Treasure Island sent him a very wonderful gospel.
Meizu Technology Computer Software Research Center sent news, [Gathering dozens of domestic and foreign software engineers, it took more than a year, and they finally got a graphical computer operating system called 'Phantom 1.0' version. 】
