After Halloween, "The Lion King", which has been maintaining a steady publicity momentum, suddenly made a strong effort, and all kinds of related news and advertisements were like bombs dropped by Super Flying Fortress, overwhelmingly unfolding.

Genre films like "Scream" can be a big hit, which makes Disney have a lot of confidence in this animated film.

In addition to the regular poster promos, Disney didn't even let go of the voice actors, and released the news that Ryan and Natalie, two friends, would be dubbed together.

"Ryan, I auditioned for a movie!" On the phone from New York, Natalie's excited voice was heard.

"Congratulations, Nat!" Ryan lazily congratulated.

"Hmph, you don't care at all." Natalie was a little dissatisfied, "Do you have an issue with me?" ”

"Okay, so when will the crew start filming? Also What is the name of the movie? Ryan straightened his attitude and asked seriously.

"It's not until next year when the film starts, and according to Director Mann, he needs plenty of time to prepare, and he needs to come to the door in person to convince Robert? Drooney and Al? Pacino. ”

"Robert? Drooney and Al? Pacino? Ryan frowned, "It's Michael?" Mann's films? ”

"That's right, it's called "The Line of Fire"!" Natalie explained, "It's a cop movie. ”

Ryan naturally knew about this movie, after all, in his previous life, Natalie was also one of the actors.

In addition to the rivalry between Natalie and the two male leads, as well as the classic gunfight, the biggest impression left by this movie on Ryan is the lengthy foreshadowing and sleepy slow pacing.

Although it was praised by film critics, it was not too successful at the box office.

Originally, Ryan wanted Natalie to star in "Game of the Brave", but she refused, and after entering the rebellious period, her independent personality in her previous life gradually showed signs.

"So be it, Ryan. I'm going to read a book. ”

"Goodbye. Nat. ”

Hanging up the phone, Ryan sighed softly, Natalie would rather choose a small role in "The Wire" that does not have much weight than play the protagonist of "Game of the Brave", she is getting closer and closer to the original path.

Although the two are still noisy, Ryan can feel that Natalie has her own secrets in her heart and seems to have some plans for her future development.

It's okay to follow your favorite path. Life can be happier.

"Sorry, Scott, for keeping you waiting."

Ryan remembered that someone in the living room had to say hello, Nicole was not there, and he was the owner of the house.

"It's okay, it's Nat, right?" Scott smiled slightly and waved his hand, "Isn't Nicole here?" ”

"She's gone to Europe for a Chanel event."

Ryan shrugged his shoulders and asked helplessly. "Is there any text that needs to be signed by her guardian?"

"That's right!" Scott nodded.

"In a hurry? Wait a while. ”

It's a very helpless thing, and Ryan will continue until he is underage.

"It's not in a hurry." Scott handed over another text clip, "Silicon & Nerve Bond wants to get your authorization." ”

"Authorized?"

Ryan wondered. The game studio never interfered with their running themselves, except for financial oversight.

"That's right."

Scott explained, "Didn't you publish a dozen magical stories in Vanity Fair, a few of them about humans and orcs. There seem to be two heroes named ......"

"Anduin? Lothar and Ogrim? Destroy the mallet of miè. Ryan reminded.

"Yes!"

Nodding, Scott continued, "The studio wants your authorization. They wanted to use these stories as a backdrop and develop them into a real-time strategy game. ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute. Ryan clasped his hands to his chest and pinched his chin, "You mean they want to make a game?" ”

"That's right!"

Scott was pretty sure, "Also, they wanted a different name for the studio." ”

Ryan didn't answer, and made a gesture to Scott to continue.

"Originally, they wanted to change their name to Chaos Studios, but because they had the same name as another company in New York, they now chose another name, and they plan to call it Blizzard."

"Blizzard?" Ryan looked up at the ceiling, and it didn't seem like there was pie in the sky, "Can you spell it out?" ”

Despite Ryan's somewhat strange request, Scott said word for word, "B-L-I-Z-Z-A-R-D, Blizzard!" ”

"I agreed."

Whether it's Ryan or not is still not 100% sure, but that's enough, "Sue Sù Allen?" Adhan, I can license the whole series of stories to them. ”

is worthy of the person who ran a net worth of hundreds of millions for that sharp-toothed little guy in his previous life! Ryan has some admiration for his investment manager.

This studio, which is very likely to be the Blizzard studio in the previous life, may have an element of luck, but the other party has managed his and Nicole's investments in an orderly manner in the past few years, and the assets in their names have long multiplied several times.

Seeing off Scott, Ryan beckoned George to drive to Pixar, where he made a short clip of Toy Story and wanted him to come over and take a look.

Although Ryan was limited in the number of times he visited after buying Pixar, he quickly won over this group of idealists with his abundant financial investment.

Sometimes, a lot of the problem is money.

"We bought the whole building, hired another group of staff, and got the latest computers in place." Ed? Kamuel is explaining the current situation of the studio, "We have revamped the hardware and used dual CPUs ......"

A lot of technical terms popped out of the other party's mouth, and Ryan listened intently, no matter what, this is the industry he values the most, even if he doesn't plan to interfere, but he will try his best to understand what he should know.

After Ryan's funds were put in place, the studio had a scale of nearly 100 people, and although it was still the same mess as before, all of them had passion and enthusiasm written on their faces.

Drawings of Toy Story characters can be seen everywhere in the office area, and even in the lobby when he came, Ryan saw a group of programmers with wooden planks tied to their feet, simulating the image of some toys. Seems to be looking for inspiration.

"It's been a long time, John."

Ryan vs. John? Lassett said hello, this guy was yelling with another employee, and when he heard it, he quickly turned around, "Ryan, you're finally here!" ”

"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”

John? Lassett shouted to his staff, "Get the clip ready, and our investors will come to accept the results!" ”

"Don't mind, Ryan." Ed? Kamuel was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, Ed."

Ryan waved his hand. As long as the other party can create enough benefits, what's the point of shouting?

In the huge monitor, clips of several main characters, such as Cowboy Woody and Buzz Lightyear, are released, which are not only short, but also have no backgrounds.

With his hands on his chest, Ryan, like everyone else, stood across from the monitor, watching extremely carefully until it was finished. He dragged his chin with one hand, as if he was lost in thought.

The rest of the group didn't say a word, quietly waiting for Ryan's ruling.

"John!" Ryan finally spoke, "Can you give me an exact timeline for completion?" ”

"This ......"

The other party seemed to be a little embarrassed. Ryan thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Can you do it if the movie was released before '96?" ”

"Of course!" John? Lassett gained confidence.

"Okay. There's no problem with the character's image, and you'll take care of the rest. "Ryan learning from Steve? Jobs preached, "I'm waiting for the first all-computer animation to be born at Pixar!" ”

Despite the age. But Ryan's all-out support for computer animation has undoubtedly won the support of quite a few people.

"John, we have a good boss."

Looking at Ryan's back as he left, Andrew? Stanton said with emotion.

"Still a boss who has both money and supports computer animation."

John? Lassett clapped her hands and shouted to the onlookers, "Alright, get to work, you have to be worthy of every penny of your salary!" ”

Others don't know, Andrew? Stanton knew that as the head of "Toy Story", John? Lassett is under a lot of pressure, Ryan? After Jenkins bought Pixar, he invested heavily in supporting their creation, and if the film failed, they really didn't have the face to continue to mix in the IT industry.

"In addition to Toy Story, we're also doing some designs for other companies." Walking out of the studio, Ed? Camel briefed Ryan on his recent business, "Paramount approached us and wanted to remake their movie titles. ”

Ryan nodded slightly, although Pixar's losses will reach a new high this year, these businesses will always bring in some revenue.

"Ryan, and Disney's contract." Ed? Kamuel reminded.

"I remember." Ryan made a reassuring gesture to him, "I'll sort it out in the near future." ”

"That's good."

Tear your face and go to court, that is the last choice.

How could Ryan forget about that contract, it was the sword of Damocles hanging around Pixar's neck...... No, it's supposed to be a blood-pumping vampire kiss.

He has been waiting, waiting for the release of "The Lion King", when the hand-drawn animation has achieved unprecedented brilliant results, the paper contract in Michael? In Eisner's eyes, I'm afraid it's not even as good as chicken ribs.

And with Ed? Camel talked about other things, and it wasn't until the sun was about to set that Ryan left Richmond.

As soon as the car entered the interstate, Ryan's mobile phone rang, and when it was connected, it was Kate? Blanchett.

"Ryan, thank you, I got that role."

Recently, she and Nicole have had a hot fight, and they can be regarded as very good girlfriends.

"You're welcome, Kate!"

Ryan's words did play a big part in this, but if she didn't have good acting skills or had a problem with her image, Twentieth Century Fox wouldn't give her the role either.

"Originally, I wanted to come to the door to thank you, but I called to find out that you were not home."

"We don't have to see each other like that, you're Nicole's friend." Thanks or something, Ryan didn't really care.

"Alright, I'll treat you when Nicole comes back from Europe." (To be continued......)
