Chapter 459 (1/2)
After visiting Steve Roth, things on the east coast were over. Simon went straight from long island to Kennedy International Airport and returned to Los Angeles.
Back at domay point, it was just over two o'clock on Saturday afternoon on this side of the west coast.
Entering the villa, a girl Alison Norris greets her and tells Simon Janet that she is not in the villa when she goes shopping. However, Ms. Veronica Johnston just came in the morning.
Simon comes to the baby room on the first floor of the villa. Veronica is holding Melbourne and standing in front of the glass window of the baby room by the sea. She seems to be whispering something to the little guy.
Seeing Simon, Veronica was a little surprised. She held the baby and said, ”you, Jenny said you might be back on Monday.”
”It's done over there.”
Simon answered, went to the next sofa and sat down. He looked at Veronica, who was wearing a light green knitted dress. But he didn't say anything.
As soon as she sat down, girl D came in with a bottle in her hand.
Deborah was surprised to see Simon sitting on the sofa in her room, but she soon said hello with a smile, handed the bottle to Veronica, and asked, ”boss, would you like something to drink?”
Simon shook his head. ”You go and get busy.”
D girl nodded, as if nothing had happened, after walking out of the room, she patted her chest gently.
I always feel it.
My boss and his wife's aunt stay together, the atmosphere is really strange.
After D girl left, Veronica hesitated, took her baby to the single sofa beside Simon and sat down. She dripped some milk carefully and tried the temperature on the back of her hand. She didn't feel at ease. She tasted it herself and then fed it to the little guy's mouth.
”I came here in the morning. Well, I happened to come to see Moore about some things. I'll go back tomorrow.”
Veronica's voice rang out around her, explaining to herself.
Simon murmured and continued to look at Veronica, who was feeding the baby.
Until the little guy finished drinking most of the bottle of milk, Veronica put the bottle aside, gently wiped the corners of his mouth for the little guy, and then looked at the baby in her arms, a little more stunned in her soft eyes.
A moment later, Simon suddenly said, ”in a few months, when the child can fly, you can take him to Australia.”
Veronica looks up as if she doesn't understand what Simon is saying.
Simon pauses and explains, ”Jennie and I have a lot of things to do, and it happens that you're here to look after them for a while.”
As the chief financial officer of Johnston holdings, Veronica is not idle at all.
However, after listening to Simon's explanation, Veronica nodded without hesitation: ”OK.” Then he added, ”everyone is looking forward to little Moore going to Australia for a while.”
Janet came back more than half an hour later to hear Simon talk about it, but she didn't object. After being ”sealed” by the little guy for a year, she looked forward to some free space.
Although she always feels a little strange, she doesn't worry about giving her children to her aunt. What's more, there are a large family in Australia.
If the child wasn't too young, she would have let Veronica take some little annoyance away tomorrow.
This year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony is on January 18, Saturday.
After the weekend, the 49th Golden Globe Awards ceremony of American film and television is approaching.
Compared with the information in memory, the change of the Golden Globe nominated films is more obvious.
In my original memory, the winner of this Golden Globe Award for best picture in plot category should be bagsi, a biographical crime thriller similar to Scarface directed by Barry Levinson.
However, this time, Simon did not see bagsy on the North American Academy online last year.
After struggling with Denise entertainment and losing the box office of Avalon, the last film directed by Denise entertainment, although Denise entertainment did not show any obvious aim at the original filmmakers, Hollywood still had no studio to dare to cooperate with Barry Levinson easily.
What's more, CAA, which should have reached the peak of its influence in recent years, has lost its strength in recent years under the balance of wma and ICM, which Simon deliberately fostered.
Talent agency, after all, is only the vassal of Hollywood film industry.
Simon didn't pay much attention to bagsi, but when he looked through the list of Golden Globe nominated films in the new week, he was surprised to find that another very important film also disappeared in the list of nominated films.
Disney's 2D animated film, beauty and the beast.
In the original time and space, the 2D animated film beauty and the beast, released at the end of 1991, not only accumulated more than 200 million US dollars at the box office in North American Theaters, but also successfully won the Golden Globe Award for best musical comedy, and became the first animated film nominated for best picture Oscar.
Now, the movie is gone.It's easy for Simon to understand some things in Hollywood now. He orders a few words at will. The result, combined with the information in his memory, finally finds out that the matter is still related to Pixar.
”Beauty and the beast” this project, is really Simon this big butterfly fan out.
We have to start with the production process of 2D animated films.
Traditional 2D animation films are all hand drawn by animators one by one.
For 2D animated films, even if calculated according to 90 minutes, the total time of the film is 5400 seconds, 24 frames per second, which requires 129600 drawings. This is still theoretical data. In the actual operation process, because of the inevitable waste manuscript and other reasons, the workload is much larger.
However, a skilled animator can only draw 10 to 20 paintings a day.
Any animators often have their own painting style. In order to ensure the unity of animation film style, it is not appropriate to have too many animators participating in a project.
Therefore, in the past, the production cycle of Disney's animated films can reach 4 to 7 years.
In the original time and space, Pixar launched a professional graphics computer, which completely changed the production process of traditional animated films, greatly improved the speed of drawing and coloring of 2D animated films, and made Disney launch a 2D animated film almost every year in the early 1990s.
It was this mapping computer that led to the collaboration between Pixar and Disney on toy story, and a lot of things that followed.
This time, however, Simon bought Pixar ahead of time.
Pixar's cartographic computers, of course, still exist, but they are no longer for sale.
As a result, Disney's animation department, until now, still maintains the old and slow hand-painted production process.
