Chapter 774: Craftsman White Light
What a company is most afraid of is to eat the old book.
For a company like c-cbUE that is not enterprising, it is not worth 10,000.
Not only did they not continue to develop the technology, but they were also overly enthusiastic about Cunningham's purchase of the follow-up development rights to mpEG.
Sun Yansheng and others only hope that Kaningham will pay more for the purchase and do not care about selling their core patents.
For a company like Pixar Animation Studios that continues to make excellent works, Xuluo is the real favorite.
Now that Xuluo has "watched" four movies made by Pixar, Xuluo is more and more glad that he bought Pixar earlier.
After taking a sip of coffee, Xuluo asked the two, "How long have you been doing this?" How much time does it take to make such an animated film? ”
"With our current manpower and equipment, the cycle should be about three years from the creative setting, to the formal production, and then to the final release." Cartem is the technical director, and he has the most right to speak, "Of course, if we increase our equipment and personnel, and the technology continues to improve, this cycle will continue to shorten. ”
"It means that all the hands are on it, and there is nothing else to do?" Xuluo asked.
"Yes."
"If it's a two-purpose job, then at least double the number of people and equipment, and the time of a single movie may not be reduced." ”
Xu Luo nodded when he heard this, "Don't be afraid to spend time, making a good movie is the first element." If you do it rashly and come out in a hurry, it is better not to do it. ”
Radsey and Cartum breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Why are they not so resistant to Xuluo taking over Pixar Animation Studios?
The reason is that Xuluo is a person in the industry, he is very familiar with this industry, and Xuluo is doing quite well.
If you come to a layman, just like Jobs, you want to perform and produce results, then it's a troublesome thing.
For example, in these companies in Miguo, although the boss can buy and sell the company without the consent of the company's personnel, the company's employees can also change jobs by themselves when the company's ownership is traded.
All the employees of Pixar Animation Studios were recruited by the likes of Radssay and Catem, and they have a very strong influence.
When the time comes, if the new boss is worse than Jobs, they will definitely leave en masse and start a Pixar animation studio again.
Of course, as long as they don't go too far, they are not willing to leave collectively, because it is also a trouble to buy equipment, pull projects, find investment, etc.
As a group of technophiles, the last thing they want is tossing.
It's good now.
Xuluo is really as good and knows the rules as the legend.
His first requirement for the job is to do it well, not quickly, which is very much in line with the mentality of Pixar Animation Studios.
If they're just doing these things to make money, what are they doing here?
"Now you can find good technicians and animators, and find a building nearby to work temporarily." Xuluo thought about it for a moment and said, "When we move to the new office building, we can do a big job." ”
"Okay."
Radessay said with a smile, "But now we don't have a new project, why don't we finish this cartoon in our hands?" I should wait until around August next year to finish it, so the time should be just right, right? ”
"Who said there are no new projects?"
Xu Luo smiled slightly, and took out a thick stack of manuscripts from his bag: "This is a script I wrote for Pixar Animation Studio, you can take a look." ”
Laset was stunned, "Boss, when did you write it?" ”
"It was written two years ago." "But at that time, I wasn't sure which animation company I wanted to buy. ”
At the same time, the young man said in his heart, I still have one in my bag, but it has been scrapped.
The two of them took it and began to look at it slowly and carefully.
Xuluo's ability to write scripts is recognized as super-first-class, and there is basically no one better than him.
Although it was the first time I had seen the cartoon script, the two of them still read it very seriously.
That's it, of course.
Xu Luo not only wrote the script, but also dozens of color paintings, which contained various protagonists, supporting characters, and underwater scenes...... Wait a minute.
Connecting the stories and looking at these images, a sense of dynamism arises.
In the minds of Rashid and Catem, there are even animated images of cartoons.
"That's a great story!"
"This style of painting is so familiar to us! It's like we did it ourselves! ”
"Not only the style, but also the connotation of the story, which is very much in line with the feeling of all of us! Boss, you're amazing! ”
The two of them said such words of admiration one after another.
With just one script, Xuluo has completely convinced them.
What do technicians admire the most?
Of course, it's not the rich, but the technicians who are stronger than them, and this is the real subjugation.
Xuluo is like this now, directly using a story full of childlike innocence, friendship, and the spirit of not giving up, so that they can feel what a top-notch good script is.
"Let's see who makes this story."
In the face of praise, Xuluo was very surprised, "I still have two scripts for animated movies in my head, and I will send them to you after a while." ”
"And!?"
Radsey and Cutham were stunned.
Who the hell is the boss?
Good scripts come one after another?
With the quality, they know that Xuluo has the same deep attainments in animated movies, and he is not the kind of person who writes books casually.
Ordinary people writing such a script have to take at least three or five months to polish it, and then repeatedly revise it to do the details well.
As a result, the boss came directly at his fingertips, do you say it's amazing?
All of a sudden, they suddenly felt that they were in a blissful trouble.
It takes two or three years for them to polish a script, and now the boss has given 3 scripts in one go, doesn't it take seven or eight years to complete?
It certainly can't be like this!
A waste of time is a waste of life!
It seems that recruiting is already imperative.
There is no leader in a company who doesn't like to see more and more talent in his company and more and more things that can be done.
Thinking of this, Radsey and Cateum suddenly had a flash of inspiration at the same time, and they looked at each other again.
Then they nodded.
"Boss."
Radsey groaned and asked, "Do you know that we used to have a technical master here called Craftsman Baiguang?" ”
"Craftsman white light?"
Radsey pronounced a tongue-twisting Chinese name.
Unable to find this person in his mind, he asked, "Isn't the most powerful computer and graphics expert in Pixar Animation Studios a man named Alvey Ray Smith?" I haven't heard that you have any Chinese employees! ”
"That's right! That's him! Radse nodded repeatedly, "But he likes Chinese culture very much, so he gave himself such a Chinese name...... He's no longer in our studio. ”
"Why?"
Xuluo was stunned, "What contradictions do you have?" ”
Such a big bull, why were people still there when Xuluo read the information last year, and now there are no more?
"He left in January of this year." Cartum explained to Xuluo: "The main reason is because of the contradiction between Craftsman Baiguang and Jobs. At the end of the 90s, Jobs once complained that our Pixar progress was not enough, so he quarreled with Jobs, and then wrote a sentence against Jobs on Jobs's whiteboard!
You know, Steve Jobs was a very personal boss, and his stuff was not allowed to be touched, especially the whiteboard he used to write bullet points for us! Doing this made Jobs feel that he was challenging his authority, so he was very, very angry.
In the next two years, Jiang Baiguang has avoided contact with Jobs again, he has been doing his own technology, but he still can't escape Jobs's various sieges and insults, so he wrote a letter of resignation at the end of last year and left in January this year. ”
Xuluo breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was your internal conflict!" This simple, where is he? I'm going to ask him back! ”
Radsey and Catum were overjoyed when they saw this, and Xuluo's attitude was really interesting!
Originally, Jiang Baiguang was very reluctant to leave Pixar Animation Studio, but now the boss has changed people, and he personally invited him back, which is enough to give him face, he will definitely come back!
With the presence of Craftsman Baiguang, then the various image technology and computer technology of Pixar Animation Studio will naturally be fully developed!
It will be more convenient to just make animated movies in the future!
"His home is in San Francisco, so it might take a little while." "If you have time, we can take a plane to go there in the next two days...... I called him in advance. ”
"You don't need to call, I'll call, that's sincerity." Xuluo shook his hand, "Steven is too rude, as the new boss of the company, I should apologize to him and explain." ”
"Thank you!"
Suddenly Cartum was moved.
In the culture of the Chinese people, straightforward workplace communication is the most common.
Like Xuluo, a boss who cares about other people's feelings and attaches importance to talents, they have never met before.
The previous George Lucas was not much better than Jobs.
If they just didn't object to Xuluo buying Pixar Animation Studios before, after Xuluo's attention to the company's development, the excellent scripts he gave, and the willingness to recruit talents to go home, the two of them were fully convinced of Xuluo.
For a while, they were quite grateful to Jobs for selling Pixar Animation Studio to Xuluo, and they still regretted why they didn't sell Pixar to Xuluo earlier.
If Jobs knew, I don't know if he would be angry.
