"It's a masterpiece, a masterpiece of 3D animation, it's amazing, and no one would have thought that as 3D animation technology matures, it will change the entire animation industry, and even Hollywood. ”

As they walked out of the theater, Ryan and Chris Wake happened to meet a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily News.

Chris Wedge had no choice but to stop and say a few casual words, "Apparently John Lasseter has combined 3D animation technology with Disney's long-standing philosophy to create a new era, which belongs to the era of 3D animation." ”

"Even, I didn't expect John Lasseter to actually do this. Chris Witch was very sincere.

What the Los Angeles Daily reporter wanted to hear, apparently, was not these words of praise, and immediately asked very pointed questions.

"Mr. Chris, do you think Blue Sky Studios is behind the times?"

Hearing this, Chris Waige did not immediately refute, but turned to look at Ryan, and saw that he nodded slightly, then took a deep breath and said: "Blue Sky Studio has never been behind the times, not before, and not now. ”

Without waiting for the reporter to continue to ask questions, he spoke again: "Last year, Blue Sky Studios has received a large amount of investment to produce a 3D animated short film "Bunny Bonnie", which will be broadcast on Fox TV. ”

3D animated shorts?

3D animation technology again!

The boss of the Los Angeles Daily reporter's eyes was even a little incredulous, looking at Chris Weiqi in front of him, and a few words of scoop came to his mind.

Chris Witch didn't disappoint, continuing: "I can be very clear that Blue Sky Studios has started working on a 3D animated feature film, which is expected to take three to five years and invest more than $30 million. ”

At this moment, he was completely stunned, this is not a 3D animated short film, but a 3D animated feature film, Blue Sky Studio has begun to prepare for the production of a 3D animated feature film.

"Mr. Chris, did Blue Sky Studios get Disney's investment, or is it some other Hollywood studio!" the New York Daily reporter quickly asked a question.

Being able to invest tens of millions of dollars in Blue Sky Studios and already producing 3D animated feature films is something that only a handful of studios have in the whole of Hollywood.

However, to his surprise, Chris Waich said an unexpected name, "As early as last year, Ryan Studio bought a majority stake in Blue Sky Studios and decided to make a 3D animated feature film. ”

Ryan Studios?

It's Ryan Gosling!

Founder of the "Saw Horror" film series, Ryan Gosling!

The Los Angeles Daily reporter jumped up excitedly, kissed Chris Witch hard, and immediately turned to point the microphone at Ryan.

However, Ryan didn't have any interest in asking him, and said directly: "Blue Sky Studio will officially announce all the news to the public in a few days." With that, Ryan took the lead in the extended Lincoln.

The reporter of the Los Angeles Daily News, instead of being disappointed, went crazy with excitement, Ryan Gosling did not deny the purchase of Blue Sky Studios and the investment in the production of 3D animated feature films, that is, what Chris Weige said just now is true.

Ryan Gosling, the founder of the "Saw Horror" film series, has spent a huge amount of money to buy Blue Sky Studios and is working on a 3D animated feature film, with an expected investment of more than $30 million. ”

He whispered it to him, and without bothering to interview Tom Hanks and the Toy Story team, he immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Alan, leave me the headlines for tomorrow. ”

"What?"

"No, no, no, it's not Tom Hanks, it's not Toy Story, it's Ryan Gosling, the lucky guy who invested in Chris Witch's Blue Sky Studios last year............"

Back inside Lincoln, Ryan poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Chris Witch, saying, "When the first weekend box office of "Toy Story" comes out, we can take the opportunity to hold a press conference to announce the news of making a 3D animated feature film." ”

"I hope John doesn't mind. Chris Wetch took the glass and smiled.

Rubbing the heat requires a little rubbing, and it can't all be announced at once.

Moreover, it is expected that the box office of "Toy Story" in the first weekend will be a shocking number, and the announcement of Blue Sky Studio's production of a 3D animated feature film can achieve the greatest effect.

At the same time, there is another benefit, the release schedule of "Truman's World" has been set, and it will be officially released on December 22, so you can follow this opportunity to hype and promote in advance.

Both things have to do with Ryan anyway.

As for Paramount's concerns, the film will collide with "Cut Throat Island", affecting the premiere box office.

Ryan said directly.

"Cut Throat Island"?

One of the most popular Hollywood films of all time, he didn't bother to pay attention to.

"As long as Toy Story meets expectations, we can replicate Pixar's approach. Ryan didn't say exactly what to copy.

But Chris Witch was shocked, Pixar Animation Studios' plan?

In fact, Pixar Animation Studio's plan is very simple, with the release of "Toy Story", Pixar Animation Studio is also about to go public, so it can be said that the two are almost at the same time.

It can be predicted that as long as "Toy Story" is a box office hit, the stock price of Pixar Animation Studios will rise sharply.

"I couldn't agree more. Chris Witch can't think of any reason to refuse.

"Helen, ask Twentieth Century Fox or Paramount to help me keep an eye on the release data for Toy Story. Ryan said to Helen.

With the news of investing in Blue Sky Studios and producing a 3D animated feature film, it is expected that the two should not refuse Ryan's request.

What's more, for Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount, it's just a trivial thing to do.

Even without Ryan's request, they would have been keeping an eye on Toy Story's release data to make adjustments to the 3D animation technology.

In the previous life, Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount reached cooperation agreements with Blue Sky Studios and DreamWorks Animation Studios respectively.

"I'll connect Twentieth Century Fox with Paramount. Helen showed a hint of hesitation on her face and said, "If they mention Blue Sky Studios and 3D animated feature films......?"

Whether you are involved in investment or become a film distributor in the future, Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount are a good choice right now.

"Drag it first. Ryan thought about it for a moment and said, "The production time of a 3D animated feature film will be at least three years, so there is no need to rush to find a distributor for the time being." ”

At least three years or more, anything can happen in the meantime, so it's not a good thing to identify the distributor of the film now.

Chris Waige opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end, as Ryan said, it will take at least three years or more for Blue Sky Studios to produce a 3D animated feature film, and there is no need to rush to find a film distributor for the time being.
