Chapter 2005： Make the animation you want to do!

Unconsciously, John Lasseter is 28 years old.

He still remembers the situation when he first met Yin Jun four years ago.

At that time Yin Jun was a genius screenwriter and a successful manga tycoon, so he could buy Disney.

As an ordinary animator of the Disney Group, he won the favor of Yin Jun, allowing him to join Disney's largest and most time-consuming and expensive project "Lion King".

In the end, the success of "The Lion King" is obvious to all. The first movie at the box office of film history has so far surpassed the crowd.

It was also from that time that John Lasette gradually became an important member of Disney Animation Studio.

The computer animation "Toy Story" that has just been released around the world and shines. Although the screenwriter is Yin Jun, Yin Jun is only creative, and the more specific content plot is all conceived by John Lasseter.

In "Toy Story", he is also the person responsible for making animation with a computer, second only to the two directors.

At the age of 27, in the Disney Animation Studio, which has always been known for his seniority, he has also become a supervisor-level character, and he is also a rising star.

Today, Yin Jun called him over, and John Lasseter vaguely felt that there were good things waiting for him.

"boss!"

In Lin Qingxia's manor garden, John Lasseter took out a bottle of red wine, "This is my father's own wine, you can taste it."

Yin Jun does not drink alcohol, but on some occasions he will drink a little champagne, and now he can drink half a glass.

John Lasseter knew Yin Jun's habit, but he could not find anything else to send, and could only express his heart with this.

"Thank you!" The teenager took the red wine with a smile, and placed it on the table. "How do you feel when" Toy Story "is released?"

"Toy Story" was released on August 2nd, and the box office reached $ 80 million in the first three days of the first weekend.

But everyone also knows that it is impossible for "Toy Story" to surpass "The Lion King", not only because of the theme, but also some problems of the movie itself.

Moreover, "Toy Story" is a large number of imax versions, and movie tickets are much more expensive than "Lion King". How do you compare?

"It feels very good. This kind of computer-generated movie is really wonderful." John Lasseter said. "I like it very much, and I don't think it is an industry. It is also art."

Inside Disney, more than half of employees still think hand-drawn animation is the right way, and computer animation is definitely heresy.

Especially after the great success of "The Lion King", this voice is even stronger and tougher.

Of the remaining half, although not necessarily thinking that computer animation is a big deal, there are still many people who like hand-drawn animation.

Otherwise, how could the 200-plus employees who made Toy Story have to join more than half of the animators and artists from China?

Is it because many people refuse to contribute to computer animation?

Even with the promotion of Yin Jun, "Toy Story" was successfully completed and received a very good response after its release, Disney's interior is still not very affordable.

They believe that hand-drawn animation is an art, while computer animation is a work of artisans without any sense of beauty.

At this point, even Yin Jun did not persuade them, but could only wait to see the facts later to make them conscious.

Yin Jun naturally agreed with John Lasseter ’s words, “John, you are now walking on a road to the future. Anything that hinders the progress of the times will be swept into the dust of history. You can rest assured to go I ’ll do my best to support you! "

"What's the point of my efforts? They are too stubborn, and after" Toy Story "succeeds, they become more stubborn." John Lasseter smiled bitterly.

"That's because they are already scared." The teenager smiled slightly. "At this time, all you have to do is to continually launch new works to make them stunned and happy."

"It's unlikely." John Lasseter sighed. "You don't know what's happening inside the animation studio ..."

"So I thought of a way for you." Yin Jun didn't answer the question, and asked instead: "When you were in" Toy Story ", I asked you to go to the industrial light and magic animation studio to learn from it. Yet?"

"Go, they helped me a lot!" John Lasseter suddenly came to the spirit, "This is a very interesting group of people! Especially Edwin Katham, this is a true computer technology genius!" I asked him a lot of questions, and he taught us very enthusiastically! "

"It's good if you already know each other," said the teenager. "There will be a lot of tacit understanding when we work together in the future."

"Ah?" John Lasseter surprised. "What did you say?"

"Yesterday I had reached an agreement with George Lucas and acquired the industrial light and magic animation studio in his hands. In the future, all of you will be colleagues!" Yin Jun smiled.

"Ah !!! That's great !!!"

John Lasseter slapped it violently, "Boss, you are so good at buying a company! This group of people is definitely a baby! With them, our Disney animation will definitely be able to take another step!"

"No, no, it's not Disney." Yin Jun shook his head, and under John Lasseter's doubtful eyes, he continued, "I'm going to re-organize an animation company, let those of you dream, willing to accept and try new things Young people, go to work here. Here, you can make animations as you think, and do all kinds of things you want to do ... whether it is long or short, whether it can sell money or not Of scrap ... you can do it, there are no limits! "

The doubts of John Lasseter disappeared quickly with Yin Jun's description.

Instead, his blinking eyes and his increasingly happy face.

"Boss!" John Lasseter is not a fool. He is very smart. "Are you worried that Disney is giving us too much restraint, so do you want to start a new fight?"

"Yeah." Yin Jun said, "I will give you the funds. What manpower and equipment you need, you can go to recruit and buy ... Don't worry about any achievements, I will only give you a task, that is, make the best in your heart. Is there a problem with the animation? "

"No!"

John Lasseter stood up and bowed respectfully to Yin Jun, "Boss, I have always believed that you, who can draw so many cartoons and write so many, must be the one who has a dream ... Now it seems that I That's right! Only people like you who are full of dreams can do such a thing without paying any attention! "

"No more flattering." Yin Jun smiled. "After you pass, you will be the director of the new company together with Edwin Katham. The president is still Ms. Tang Shuxuan. You negotiate well and do good things yourself. Loss of power, you know? "

John Lasseter understood that Yin Jun would not allow him or one of Edwin Catem to serve as president because he wanted them to achieve a balance.

After all, after the new company is founded, some things are not easy to deal with, and the break-in period is very important.

Now that Tang Shuxuan, the president of Kirin Group's North American branch, is also the company's president, the two of them are only responsible for specific affairs, and then there will be no trouble.

Besides, John Lasseter is not a person who is good at taking power. He prefers creativity and creation. He has little interest in other things.

"Boss, can I take some people from Disney?" John Rasett said, "They are all like-minded people, and they don't pay much attention at Disney Animation Studio ... Oh, yes, I want to Some Chinese friends, you do n’t know, although they have a poor foundation, they are too strong to accept new things! And they are very serious in their work, too serious! ”

At the time of "Toy Story", everyone did overtime, but there was no complaint at all, and only those who came to China to work overtime were the students and animators from China.

Anyone who eats less and does more work, any boss likes it, and Americans are no exception.

"You can take people away with Disney," Yin Jun said with a deep contemplation. "If you are Chinese, you can invite yourself and stay in our new company. I will let them take out their work visas."

"What about the number of Chinese friends?"

"How much can be recruited." Yin Jun smiled. "It's just that you don't be too ruthless. If you dig all out, there will be no way to ask new people to come."

"Huh, can you still be like a Disney, every year to a group of small partners for internship study?" John Lasseter's eyes brightened.

"Yes, I attach great importance to this new company, so they will come too." Yin Jun nodded. "The new company is an open company. There are not so many restrictions and constraints ... But I also hope you, Just like at Disney, come up with the real thing to teach them, even if they are rewarded for their hard work! "

"Boss, don't worry, I never taught anything." John Lasseter patted his chest. "Then we'll say that! I have more people, but you have to support me."

The teenager smiled his jaw and agreed.

"For a long time, what is the name of our new company?" John Lasseter suddenly thought of and asked.

"Pixar ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Yin Jun said without hesitation," Pixar Animation Company. "

"Pixar ..."

John Lasseter clearly liked the name, and after a few nagging, a smile appeared on his face.

Thinking that he will soon be free from shackles, go to a brand-new company, and those who have the same ideals as himself, do computer animation that he likes to do, how can he be unhappy?

In particular, Yin Jun also said that you can do whatever you want without worrying about other issues.

This is the greatest support for creators!
