Chapter 117: Hand-Drawn Animation and Computer Animation

After a busy few months, Ryan ushered in a rare leisure time, and the life of home, school, and record company was quite like the feeling of living in junior high school in his previous life, but he was still not a serious student.

Because of the relationship between "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" at the same time, the completion of the script of "Scream" is far away, and there are too many criticisms in the previous life of this movie, and Ryan has to operate on some places on the basis of retaining the main plot.

Fortunately, in the past few years, he is very familiar with Hollywood's methods, although it is a little troublesome, but it will not suddenly get stuck.

As for Drew Barrymore, after calling a few times, he was not in a hurry, anyway, Ryan is famous in Hollywood for his words, and there is not much difference between the early months and the later months, not to mention, she took on a new play - "Lust Tide".

This is nothing, to Ryan's surprise, Drew appeared on the cover of the latest issue of "Evaluation" magazine, still in a naked posture.

All right! Fighting for a position is the most commonly used hype method for actresses in the entertainment industry, not to mention an open girl like Drew Barrymore.

I don't know if this guy got into the water in his head, or if he did it on purpose, he called him out from time to time, but Ryan rejected them all.

What are you kidding, Ryan Jenkins and Drew Barrymore have **, maybe the news of sister and brother love, and it will appear in the tabloids from time to time, if you are caught by the paparazzi with her, it is really unclear what you have to say.

Besides, Drew speaks some explicit language and makes some provocative actions at every turn, and Ryan is also a little afraid that his young and restless heart can't withstand too much **.

In case of going overboard, with Drew's character, I'm afraid it will be publicized to the whole Shijie know......

In addition to unfinished scripts and novels, Ryan will go to the record company once a day or two, music can be different from acting, if you don't practice for a while, you will learn by hand, honing your singing voice and the use of musical instruments is an essential course, even if his musical talent is indeed outstanding, but hard work is still a must.

It's just that the current record company has not only signed several other singers, but also a group of twittering peers, many of whom can be regarded as his fans.

Whenever it's time for him to practice, the little guys in the Mickey Mouse Club will always come running over with various excuses, signing autographs and asking for advice and studying.

After a while, Ryan also observed the oddities of Mickey Mouse's club, such as Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling always getting together, Haode was almost able to wear a pair of pants, and Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson became good sisters, often arguing with the former pair.

It's so much fun! Ryan later felt that Boss Jia and Boss Gao seemed to be handsome guys when they grew up, and remembered that it was Boss Jia who made Britney not a ghost in his previous life, which made people see Britney's infinitely close to zero emotional intelligence.

However, isn't it too boring to see how things are going in the previous life? How about a handsome guy with a beard like Boss Jia and a little white face like Boss Gao stage a realistic version of Brokeback Mountain? I believe it will definitely attract countless female voices to scream.

Hmm, it seems like that's a good idea?

There is no doubt that as he grows older, Ryan's personality becomes more and more unscrupulous, and if someone asks questions, he will definitely distinguish between them, these two guys have harmed many young Hollywood women in their previous lives, and I am launching a big rescue in advance.

In the Disney Animation Studio, a small projector is working silently, on the silver-white screen, the preview clip of "The Lion King" is being screened, only a few minutes, there is no soundtrack and dubbing, and the effect of the picture is a little rough, but whether it is Simba in the early years, or Nana, it can already show its style vividly.

These 2D hand-drawn masters, the painters are indeed extraordinary, Ryan is not as good as himself in this regard, and he was the first to applaud after the more than five minutes of clip screening.

Even if the animal characters and subtle plots have changed a little from the previous one, they are still as good as all the animations produced by Disney, and if you add the dubbing and songs, Ryan believes that this will still be the pinnacle of 2D animation.

Production manager Don Hahn and directors Roger Ellers and Rob Minkoff are equally confident that the animated film will bring back the glory of Disney's hand-drawn animation.

Glory is certain, but decline is inevitable.

Ryan can't say anything, 3D computer animation has been around for a long time, but unfortunately no one pays attention to it, even if Steve Jobs, the owner of Pixar, is also pessimistic about the future of 3D animation in private.

Pixar's losses in the last two years are said to be around 10 million dollars, with Jobs' current net worth, almost bloodletting, Ryan has also heard that he sells Pixar everywhere, but the entire industry is skeptical about the prospects of 3D animation, only his old rival Microsoft offered a purchase price of 30 million dollars.

Unfortunately, Jobs' asking price was around $50 million, and it is said that the two sides have already collapsed.

Ryan knows very well that if according to the normal historical development, Steve Jobs will find a home for Pixar almost every year, but he has been pressed in his hands, Zuihou has to grit his teeth and persevere, and finally in exchange for the success of "Toy Story" and Pixar's billion-dollar net worth after it goes public, and use this as a springboard to return to Apple.

The opportunity you have been waiting for is coming! Ryan said in his heart.

"Don, it's outstanding, even better than I imagined in my head."

Walking out of the enclosed conference room, Ryan smiled and said to the production manager, this is not a compliment. "When will it all be done?"

"We will have to wait until next year at the earliest, or on the premise that we invest all Liliang." Don Hahn made a gesture you understand, "The studio has mobilized almost all the artists and is working overtime on the production. ”

The production of animated films is far more troublesome than live-action films, but as long as it is successful, the income can throw off live-action movies for several streets, and Ryan heard that in order to ensure the progress of "The Lion King", the animation studio has temporarily stranded all other jihua.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the movie to be a big hit." Ryan prepares to take his leave.

"Wait, Ryan." Don Hahn stopped him, "Don't forget, the movie still needs your voice." ”

This is the key, who doesn't know the name Ryan Jenkins now, and it has begun to become a box office guarantee, not to mention, the two sides also signed a contract.

"No problem." Ryan naturally didn't think about breaking the appointment, "Which character?" ”

"How's Simba? You'll be able to voice you in both childhood and adulthood, and I think with your ability to change your voice and tone, plus our post-processing, there should be no problem, right? Don Hahn had clearly figured it out.

You're really going to save money! Ryan muttered, "Forget about adulthood, Don." ”

"That'...... All right! "All Disney wants is the boos of the publicity, but Don Hahn doesn't want to let him go like that," the movie's theme song, "Love Unlimited Tonight"! ”

"Wait, Don." Ryan rolled his eyes, "I think it's best for Elton John to sing this song." ”

"Elton John? Who's that? Don Hahn looked confused, as if he had never heard of the name.

Impossible, right? In his previous life, Elton John was the original singer of this song, a superstar in the pop music industry, although he was still a little far from Michael Jackson, but he was also a well-deserved king.

Ryan walked out of Disney with a helpless face, it's really strange, this shijie really doesn't have a famous singer named Elton John, if he became famous after 1980, it can be said that he was influenced by his butterfly wings, the problem is that the other party should have become a superstar in the seventies, what is going on?

Don't think about things that you can't figure out, anyway, he appeared on this shijie, and I don't know how many people have changed their fate.

On the way home, Ryan deliberately asked George to drive past a famous record store, and after dressing up his hat and sunglasses, he walked into the record store, directly found the shelves of rock and nostalgic hits, rummaged back and forth several times, and swept around the other shelves, and later asked George to ask a few older music fans.

Their answer was very unanimous, this shijie did not have a rock star named Elton John.

Well, that shouldn't be my business! Ryan sat back in the car, shrugged his shoulders, and along the way, he recalled the specifics of the vanished superstar, who rose to prominence in '69 and became one of the greatest rockers in the '70s, which should have nothing to do with his rebirth.

It seems that there are still some changes in this shijie that he doesn't know about! Ryan sighed, fortunately, the general direction is still rolling forward according to the trajectory of his previous life, and the direct changes brought by him are basically visible.

For example, Spielberg and "Schindler's List", a film that started filming a year earlier than the previous life, has officially announced its closure after entering late May.

In the previous life, Spielberg took 71 days to shoot, and in this life, because many sets are built while shooting, it takes a little longer, but after more than 80 days, all the shots were finally completed.

Ryan was relieved to learn the news, Spielberg kept his word, and after the filming was completed, he temporarily handed over the post-production work to his assistant, and after returning to Los Angeles for a few days, he flew to Hawaii with Nicole Kidman, Sam Neill and others.

Catherine Kennedy and George Lucas led the pre-production team to rent an island there, and after a long period of preliminary preparation, "Jurassic Park" was ready to start, just waiting for Spielberg and the cast to arrive.

When Nicole Kidman called back, she said that ILM had created lifelike models of Tyrannosaurus rex, triceratops and velociraptor that looked as amazing from a distance as the real thing.

Summer vacation is just around the corner, and Ryan plans to take a spin from New York to Miami to Hawaii after finishing his concert in Chicago to see some of the biggest productions that are closely related to him in this life.
