The editorial office of the Los Angeles Free Press was quiet, and everyone was staring at the Latino man they had ostracized, Garcia? Rodriguez just quit like that? He also opened an investigation and consulting company and became his own boss?

To be honest, although they are also paparazzi, they are also divided into three, six, nine, etc., even if that guy often captures Ryan? Jenkins's exclusivity, which is highly valued by the editor-in-chief, is not very popular with their white colleagues.

The other party has indeed made a lot of money in the past six months, which is enough for him to open a consulting company? Many people have asked such questions.

Under the watchful eye of the security guards, Garcia quickly packed up his belongings and walked out of the editorial office without looking back, without saying hello to anyone, who were all guys who often ridiculed him behind his back, so why care?

Status! A decent person's life! These are all things Garcia is after, paparazzi and Ryan? Jenkins got him out of the slums, and now he's going to have his own company.

Out of the editorial office, Garcia sat in his old Ford and remembered the meeting a few days ago, which seemed a little incredulous.

After a few conversations with the handsome man named George, he was supported by a foundation in the Cayman Islands and became a partner in an investigative consulting firm, albeit with only a 20 percent stake, a veritable boss.

Even if there are only more than a dozen people in the company, that's the boss, isn't it?

Although the other party didn't mention it, Garcia knew who was standing behind George, and why did the little guy he had been following for more than half a year take a fancy to him?

Garcia did not have a formal university education, and he did not understand what it means to die for a confidant, but he understood another truth, and it is natural to take people's money to do things for others.

What's more, what the other party asked him to do was not something that broke the law.

In fact. Garcia doesn't have to guess to know that since that money has come around in such a big circle, it must be impossible to find Ryan at all? Jenkins has been following his head for so long, and he knows that the other party has a strong team of lawyers and accountants, and even, the net worth estimated by the media is far lower than the actual net worth of that little guy.

In any case, he is no longer a lowly paparazzi, but a person with a certain social status.

Threw what he was holding on to the co-pilot. Garcia pulled an envelope out of his coat pocket, the first order he had received, providing details of a computer animation studio in New York called Blue Sky.

After all, after experiencing the information explosion in his previous life, Ryan knows that many people in Hollywood have unclean hands and feet, and when the rules on the surface fail, they may use some dirty methods, and some of his measures are just to prevent problems.

Heading into late March, Scott? There was good news from Swift. What does he do with Steve? Jobs formalized an agreement to buy 90 percent of Pixar for $50 million, with the rest scattered among the other founders. It's not about the big picture.

This price far exceeds the investment that Steve Jobs has invested in recent years, and with this funding, the Apple founder can also revitalize his NeXT computer company.

As for the lack of Pixar's success, it will affect Jobs' return to Apple. That's not in Ryan's consideration, anyway, in the past few years, he doesn't have much Apple stock in his hands.

The money almost drained Ryan and Nicole's cash flow. If it weren't for his insistence, Scott would have wanted to sell the stocks and fixed assets in their names, which would have outweighed the loss.

"I've said that, I've been working with you all for so many years......" In the conference room at Pixar, Steve? Jobs was giving a parting speech, "Finally, I wish Pixar success. ”

He turned his head and looked, "Ryan, Pixar is yours." ”

After speaking, he left the conference room without looking back, which is really worthy of the true character of a businessman.

Ed? Camel, John? Lasseter and Andrew? Stanton quietly looked at the young man sitting at the head of the table, they had met not long ago, but they didn't expect that the other party would become their boss in the blink of an eye.

They had heard about this acquisition for a long time, and they had opposed it in private, after all, the other party had said that Pixar was a mess when they came to visit last time, and if he became the owner, would it change the relaxed atmosphere and corporate culture that the studio had formed with great difficulty?

Besides, the other party is indeed a genius in film, but do you know computer animation? What if he interferes in the day-to-day work of the studio?

The studio was silent, and the only forty employees were staring at Ryan to see what he would do.

"Smack~"

A soft thud shattered the silence, and Ryan took out two thick Wen Jiàn bags from his backpack and placed them on the long conference table in front of him.

"Ed, John, Andrew, and Jim, I didn't expect us to meet again in this way."

Ryan said, pushing the two Wen Jiàn bags to a few people, "One is the script of Toy Story, and the other is the storyboard sketch of the toys, there are some opinions on it, it is my personal opinion, I don't know about computer animation, you can just take a look." ”

A few people couldn't wait to open the bag, and the other employees couldn't sit still, and gathered around, needless to say, the script was not thick and couldn't see what was written on it, but the stack of dozens of colored pencil sketches was instantly divided by these people.

"It's ...... Woody? ”

"This is Buzz Lightyear......"

After all, "Ryan's Tales" has been out for many years, and many people are familiar with the stories in it.

Without waiting for these people to say anything, Ryan pointed to Scott, "I've asked Scott to borrow $20 million for the day-to-day operation of the studio and the production of Toy Story, and this is just the first one, and the follow-up investment will be in place soon." ”

"I believe that the first fully computer-animated feature film will be born in Pixar."

Ryan's voice at this time is nothing less than heaven for these fanatical Pixar employees, what are they holding on for so many years? Isn't it just the dream and obsession in my heart?

"Mr. Jenkins......"

"Please call me Ryan."

"Okay, Ryan, we need equipment, state-of-the-art computers......" Ed? Before Camel could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Ryan, "No problem, Eddard. ”

"......," he hesitated.

Ryan naturally understood what these people were worried about. "Ed? Mr. Camel will still be the president of the studio, the day-to-day affairs will still be handled by you, and I, and Scott, will not interfere in the operation of the studio, and I will not send any staff to the studio except for the necessary financial oversight. ”

What did he say about this, with Steve? Nothing has changed in the Jobs era, Ryan knows his own family affairs, and as long as Pixar maintains the status quo, the success of Toy Story is bound to come.

As for the financial supervisors. That's a must, and he and Nicole's accountant will do that.

Applause erupted, and Ryan's announcement of a series of initiatives was clearly recognized by these people, which meant that they could continue to follow their dreams.

Got the sketch back, Eddard? Kamuel kicked most of the staff out and said, "Thank you, thank you." Ryan! ”

"Don't say that, Ed." Ryan waved his hand casually, "I bought Pixar because I'm optimistic about your persistence and the future of computer animation." Of course, like Steve, since it's an investment, you have to get a corresponding return. I'm sure Pixar won't let me down, right? ”

"Definitely!" John? Lassett preemptively said, "The script is finalized." Determining the character and personality will save a lot of time and money, and Ryan, I promise, that in no more than three years, the first computer-animated feature film will be born in Pixar. ”

"I believe that, and everybody believes in that, don't they?"

Ryan playfully spread his hand, causing everyone to laugh, and then, Ed? "Ryan, that contract we have with Disney ......"

"Well, I don't have a good relationship with Disney, and I'll find a way to solve it."

Hearing that contract, Ryan was also very helpless, if it was really executed according to the contract, "Toy Story" would just make a wedding dress for the other party.

Fortunately, he got a kick in "The Lion King" in this life, which triggered a series of butterfly effects, and the $26 million investment promised by Disney has not been in place for a long time, and he has enough reasons and excuses to terminate the contract.

It's really not good, just provide Disney with a few ideas, it's nothing more than an exchange of interests.

If it's a good thing, then it's going to have to be a different publisher for Pixar, preferably one that can sign a normal distribution agreement.

However, there is no need to rush now, after all, if "Toy Story" wants to be produced, it is impossible to do it without more than two years.

Of course, after the vampire-style contract was terminated, and after Pixar succeeded, the relationship between him and Disney, especially Michael? There must be a rift between Eisner's tyrants.

Ryan didn't bother with the day-to-day affairs of the studio, and exchanged some opinions with several people about "Toy Story", which was nothing more than a summary of those reviews he had read in his previous life, and promised that he would provide necessary help with the script and characters whenever needed, and then he left.

Pixar's affairs are over, the only trouble is the problem of funds, although Ryan has a lot of assets in his name, but not much cash, although he doesn't know very well, he knows that the rendering of computer animation frame by frame is all burned out of dollars.

In the blink of an eye, it was Oscar again, Ryan would not go to the scene, Nicole was also absent for a valid reason because of the location relationship, not to mention, they did not actively publicize and had given up this Best Supporting Actress.

"Miranda was nominated for Best Supporting Actress? Richardson, "Lover of Fire", Vanessa? Radgriff, "Howard Manor", Nicole? Kidman, "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", Marisa? Tomei, "My Cousin Pooh" ......"

"It was Marissa who won Best Supporting Actress? Tomei "My Cousin Pooh", congratulations to Marisa? Tomei! ”

In front of the TV, Ryan sighed, this is normal, the work in advance is not done well, it is impossible to get the little golden man, but since then, Nicole has accumulated another qualification.

Turning off the TV, Ryan sat back at his desk, and he kicked out "Toy Story", and the rest of the scripts naturally fell behind, as well as the latest episode of Harry Potter......

After accepting the invitation of the film school to become a member of the thousands of members, Ryan also joined the Screenwriters Guild, so that the scripts he wrote could be filed in advance, and with some small promotional means of Kingsley, it could extinguish the few hidden dangers.

Besides, in addition to the stories based on Warcraft, from time to time he will publish some other essays and articles in Vanity Fair, occupying some creativity and blocking the way of certain people.

For example, the last two stories are about chasing the murderer and dreams, and like his previous works, they have been appropriately adapted to occupy the idea without causing obvious spoilers.

At the same time, Ryan also applied to join the Zuò People Alliance, because he has Jenkins Pictures under his name, strictly speaking, he already has this qualification, but age is a big problem, and there is no clear answer from the Zuò People Alliance at present. (To be continued......)
