Chapter 797： "Lion King" Preparation

24-year-old John Lasseter is 6 years older than Yin Jun, but Yin Jun's aura makes this animation elite a little nervous.

"Sit down, John." In the meeting room, Yin Jun raised his hand and signaled: "Sorry there is no good coffee here, you just have to deal with it!"

"No, I usually just drink this coffee." John Lasseter sat down and smiled.

"John, do you know that I have a comic company?" Yin Jun asked harmoniously.

"Of course!" John Russell nodded his head, "I bought several comic books, your creations are very good, you are a genius!"

Yin Jun smiled, "Which one do you like best?"

John Lasseter hesitated a bit and said a little embarrassedly: "" Cherry Maruko "."

"..." Yin Jun opened his eyes wide.

Seeing Yin Jun ’s performance, John Lasseter scratched his head. “I think that although it is from the perspective of a child, it reflects many problems in today ’s society. Although it ’s funny, but after laughing, It deserves our thoughts. I can often feel a lot of truth in it, and I know your greatness in creative talent! Such a variety of types come in handy, and they are very suitable for the comics themselves. This is an amazing genius!

Yin Jun nodded.

Several animation studios in the later generations, one of them is a studio where every animation it produces is not for children, but for adults.

This is Pixar.

And John Lasseter is the soul character of Pixar. It is exactly this kind of concept and thinking that he is talking about today, which formed the animation production style of him and Pixar!

Regardless of contention and other disputes, this development, in Yin Jun's view, is a supplement and a positive extension of the cartoon.

The reason why Disney cartoons have been abandoned by the times in these years is because they only think that the cartoons are for children, so those low-level cartoons cannot be attracted to adults to watch.

"I do comics, so I often watch cartoons. I also watched the two short animations you made in college. It's very aura. You are the future of Disney I need!" Yin Jun said to him. "I'm going to let Disney make an animation right away. I hope you will join in and take on more responsibilities. Do you have confidence?"

"I'll dominate?" John Lasseter said in surprise.

"You think it's beautiful." Yin Jun waved her hand in amusement, "You can be the main assistant, and you can really grasp that you are much worse than those masters."

"it is good!"

John Russell nodded his characteristics, and he was relieved. If Yin Jun really inexplicably admired him and let him stand alone, he would feel strange.

Hollywood also talks about seniors. Even if he thinks he is talented, if he jumps rashly to the old man, can he still stay at Disney?

This is good, which also proves that Yin Jun really wants to train him.

"You go back and prepare, you will all go to the African grasslands and sketch on the ground." Yin Jun said.

"I see!" John Lasseter left with a little excitement.

Yin Jun originally wanted to tell him that he would be free to go to the computer animation department of Lucas to learn more and learn more about the concept of computer animation.

But the overall work of "The Lion King" takes at least one to two years, and it is not too late to wait until he is busy.

Wait a minute.

An animated movie takes one to two years to complete?

Is n’t this an exaggeration?

Know that Kirin Culture is now producing an episode of Transformers for about 20 minutes. More than 60 artists and animators can be completed in just 5 days.

Even if the "Lion King" movie will last 120 minutes, but Disney can use animators and artists, but it is more than ten times the Kirin culture!

Even if Disney has other cartoons to do, it is a breeze to call out 200 artists and animators, and their collective fighting power is not as strong as the unicorn culture.

Such a world-leading animation production company, it takes a year or two to make a big movie, it is really unbelievable!

But!

Yin Jun remembers clearly that the "Lion King" of the previous life was not produced for one or two years, but it took a total of three years from the establishment of the project to the release!

Of course, there are also reasons for the beauty of the work efficiency of the Chinese people.

For example, it took more than half a year to discuss scripts, styling, and screen books.

Then they dragged the mobilized personnel again and made various preparations. The most exaggerated thing was that they had to go to the African savannah to sketch on the ground, but because of the climate, they still stayed in the United States for two months. Just set off.

This has been a year.

After more than 120 artists, he stayed in Africa and painted various creatures for a year.

Whether it is a lion, a mongoose, a warthog, a coyote, or other creatures, they all paint one by one. Although many of them are not used in the end, this kind of delicate and serious Work attitude should still be praised.

In the third year, these artists returned to the United States to make movies with animators in the studio.

After repeated revisions and productions, it took one year to polish it, which finally cast it into the most classic "Lion King".

Ok.

Said so, but Yin Jun felt that, in fact, in terms of time, it could be speeded up a bit.

In the preliminary preparation, he has already prepared the script of the movie. After handing it to the director, they will naturally convene the art team and the animation team to make targeted arrangements.

In this way, the preparation time for one year is definitely not enough, a little faster, and can be sketched when the dry season starts in April, until the rainy season in September comes, at most October, you can return to the United States.

And there is no need to go to Africa at all, as long as it is in the three places of Kenya ’s Masai Mara National Nature Reserve, Zambia ’s South Luangwa National Park and Tanzania ’s Ruaha National Park.

Half a year of sketching time is a bit hasty for Americans.

It ’s just that Yin Jun does n’t just use the Americans. The Qilin culture will soon come in with many artists and send them to work together.

The hard habits of our Chinese art engineers, the good habits of automatic overtime and hard work, you old and beautiful should also learn and learn!

2 months of preliminary preparation, 6 months of sketching, and 6-8 months of production.

Yin Jun has arranged such a maximum of 16 months of production time for "The Lion King", which is actually not too hasty.

After all, compared to the "Lion King" made in the previous life, Yin Jun knew who to use and how to operate the entire process.

Of course, for Yin Jun, there are some difficulties.

That is the two directors of "Lion King" in the previous life-Roger Ellers and Rob Minkov, now only in their twenties, one is just like John Lasseter, just joined the office, the other I don't know where it is yet.

If the original version was not found and the animation director in Hollywood was not very familiar with it, Yin Jun would have only one person left.

Jeffrey? Kasenberg.

Is currently the vice president of Paramount Pictures, and he is the vice president of Michael Eisner.

The two of them, together with President Barry Diller, formed Paramount's Iron Triangle, and they took Paramount together for years.

But the good days are not long. After three years, the Iron Triangle will immediately fall apart.

Barry Diller went to 20 Actual Fox to build Murdoch's fourth-largest television network in the United States.

Michael Eisner came to Disney with his good friend Jeffrey Kasenberg, Michael Eisner became the CEO, and Kasenberg was the director of animation.

But just like falling down with other good friends of mine, ten years later, Katzenberg, who couldn't stand Michael Eisner, left Disney and set up another large production company with his two other friends.

its name

Called

DreamWorks.

So you see, Paramount ’s Iron Triangle is really a very good management talent, and in Hollywood in the past 30 years, it can be regarded as the top!

Yin Jun not only wanted to dig up Michael Eisner and Kasenberg, but also wanted to serve with Barry Diller.

By then Michael Eisner was in charge of the operation of amusement parks and surrounding product stores, Kasenberg was in charge of animation production, and Barry Diller was in charge of the acquisition and construction of the TV network ... Such a scene, I think it is beautiful!

It's just that Paramount, where people are now, is much better than Disney. Yin Jun had to think a little bit before he could dig them over.

US. Professional managers in the United States are actually quite practical.

On the one hand, if there is no higher step for them, they will be slack, and then want to meet new challenges.

On the other hand, if other companies give them more power and higher salary, it is easy to find people.

In Paramount ’s Iron Triangle, Barry Diller ’s favorite is to be a TV network, so as long as he promises to let him play as much as possible and gives him adequate treatment, he will come over easily.

As for the position of president, Barry Diller does not care much.

Michael Eisner has big ambitions and many means, and is greedy for power. So as long as he is promised to get more power than Paramount, and also a large amount of money, he will also change jobs.

Among the three, Kasenberg belongs to the technical category, not the kind of person who likes to stand in front of the stage, but he is very practical in doing things and won the favor of Barry Diller. Michael Eisner also knows, So it was only later that he switched to Kasenberg.

Such technical talents, power money is not the most important thing for him, but if Barry Diller and Michael Eisner have come to Disney ~ www.novelhall.com ~ believe he is willing to continue to cooperate with these old partners .

Of course, Yin Jun will definitely weigh the interests and power between them.

The president of Disney is personally served by Yin Jun, and the executive president will be someone else. Even if it is just a symbolic character, it will not allow any of them to become executive president.

The three positions of them are equal executive vice presidents, respectively managing the three major departments of Disney.

Only in this way can suppress Michael Eisner's growing ambition and power x hope.

At least before Robert Iger grew up, Yin Jun still hoped to cooperate with Michael Eisner. This man has his own set in managing the company and developing the company.

Otherwise, Disney will not develop from a small company on the verge of bankruptcy into one of Hollywood's new seven giants.

Robert Iger can develop so smoothly afterwards, and it is not unrelated to Michael Eisner's serious construction and management.

……

(When I look up the Lion King ’s information, I think of the chaos in domestic movies. I really have a feeling that the movie is also fair. What attitude you use to it will return you with what attitude it is. A lot of effort.)
