Chapter 72： This is a crazy young man! (2/2)
On both sides of the round table in the conference room are the negotiating team of Blue Sky and Flame. On the side of Blue Sky, sit the founder and CE Chris Wake, a 42-year-old middle-aged white man, from an Disney programming to the creation of Blue Sky , Is the core and soul of the company's technology; technical director Mike Allingis, animation director Carlos-Saldanha, technical guesses Inkar-Ludexi, Tom Ma-Bissugru and other evangelists.
In the flame company, Max Langchi, lawyers, appraisers and other people, and Wang Yang wearing a gray trench coat.
Two weeks and many revisions to the acquisition plan, the negotiation has reached the decision stage, and now Karl Ludwig and others have basically agreed, only Chris-Waiji, Mike-Eringis, Carlos-Saldan Ha still has concerns, especially Chris Wake.
”Chris, you don't have to worry about that much.” Max Randt spread his hand and said with confidence: ”You know, our flame movie is flourishing.” The profits from ”High School Musical” continue to increase; and ”High School Musical” 2 ”, the popularity and cost of the previous work, how much do you think it is possible to lose? And” When Happiness Comes to Knock ”...” He glanced at Wang Yang, and Wang Yang smiled and said: ... oh, I I think it will not lose money. ”
Everyone in the meeting room smiled, ”Max Randt showed his body language and said:” And ”the money we bought was a sum of money. The money entered the account of Blue Sky and would not be transferred out again. , You are an independent subsidiary! Is there anything to worry about ... ”
”Hmm ...” Chris Wakee frowned slightly. He wanted to say ”a few times” but swallowed it back again. The purchase price of 40 million was very high. The original employees were more satisfied. He did n’t worry much about the failure of the flame movie, but technically, he was more inclined to Fox ”. Although Fox ’s purchase price was 65 million. He looked at Mike-Erinkis, and Mike silently gave him a“ agree. , Eyes.
”Everyone, I decided to increase the purchase price to 100 million.” Wang Yang said seriously. ”For a time, the opposite Chris-Wakey and others were startled. Max Langte looked at Wang Yang with suspicion. Wang Yang nodded and reiterated: ”100 million.” In fact, 100 million was originally the purchase price he originally envisioned. Now when it is said at this time, it may be finalized. He smiled and said, ”Chris”, you have to believe my city. I like moths, as you can see from the logo of the flame movie, so I like ”Bunny Rabbit” very much, especially the last shot, wow! The beginning animation of our flame movie has a very similar shot, Mark, did our animation look for the blue sky? ”
Mark Sloan shrugged: ”No, it's just an unknown animation company in Luoxuanfan.” Wang Yang whispered softly: ”I knew I was looking for blue sky as a child. ”
Chris Wakee and others laughed, and they were all a little excited. ”Although the difference between 100 million and 90 million is only 10 million, the psychological senses brought by the two are completely different. They also fully feel The urban meaning of Flame Movies, in the acquisition, a large part of the urban meaning is the price.
”I know that Blue Sky Studio needs technical progress.” Wang Yang's expression became serious, looking at Chris Wakee on the opposite side, and said: ... Chris ”85 million in the acquisition” 65 million will be used Production of ”Ice Age”; 20 million research and development technology ”You can fully improve the little demon guessing system ... you can do everything you like.”,
It ’s a proprietary rendering system of Blue Sky Studio. ”Like Pixar ’s, it ’s all housekeeping skills, one of the company ’s most valuable things; and the leprechauns can make complex models look like the eyes on the card. Combined with multiple light sources, translucent objects and surrounding shadows; in addition, there are hair generation systems, current wave generation systems, and so on.
These things are too much technology behind the ”Wang Yang figured out in the blue sky studio in the past two weeks, to make an animated movie”. He does n’t understand the technical aspects, but he knows that spending money on technical development will ultimately benefit from Blue Sky Studio, which is himself. So he wo n’t be stingy in this respect; and he does n’t want to talk about it anymore. As long as Blue Sky makes the movie ”make an excellent animation.”
”I absolutely support technology research and development. The current IT technology is different every day. If you want to be eliminated, you must keep improving.” Wang Yang smiled slightly and said his plan seriously: ”In addition, if the financial Allow, I will continue to inject blue sky gradually, I hope blue sky can develop in the movie special effects. ”
Hearing this, even though it was just a blank cheque, Chris Wakee and Mike Allingis looked at each other, and they could feel each other eager to try. After two weeks of contact, they all knew that the 19-year-old was not a kid. Although he was kidding, he was a little carefree, but in serious matters, he was very calm and mature. ”He has a mind beyond his age. This is also Why did they dispel ... Why will the Flame Movie close down soon? ”
Wang Yang also said: ”But in addition to technology” I think the most important thing in an animation movie is ultimately the story and the characters * ... ”Seeing Mike Allingis nodded in agreement, Wang Yang continued:” Because it It ’s a movie. What ’s the most important thing about a movie? I think if the audience looks at it, and weeps and laughs, their emotions are completely influenced by it, they will still have some thoughts and experience afterwards. ”Then it is a movie. The same is true for animated movies. To express the theme, but if it wants to have vitality, it has to rely on stories and characters. This is my understanding of animated movies. ”
Animation Director Carlos Chaldanha clapped his palms and smiled: ”Say! This is what I always advocate.” Mike Elingis also clapped his palms. Praising: ”Technology is to express animation more Content; and content, always take the first goal of animation * ... ”
What they said in this way was that they agreed to the acquisition. Suddenly, everyone in the conference room looked at Chris Wakee quietly, who owns more than 60 shares of the company. ”The creator and director of” Ice Age ” ”If he didn't nod,” the acquisition would not be possible.
Chris Wakee looked at his mates and Wang Yang. He took a deep breath and made up his mind. ”Nodded,” Yang, we agreed! ”Finally, there was a rush of excitement in his heart, and finally he settled down, he could sleep peacefully.
Before he could say ”all applause in the meeting room” everyone smiled happily. Max Ront took off his black-framed glasses with a smile, wiped his eyes a little tiredly, and followed this year to complete an acquisition, a big acquisition of 100 million yuan!
”Chris, happy cooperation!” Wang Yang is also very excited. As long as he signs the contract, he will have this excellent animation production company and will produce excellent animations in the future. ” They will become children's bedside dolls, and as they grow up, it's really happy! He smiled and stood up, reaching out to lean over and smiled: ”Flame and blue sky will be a beautiful marriage. ”
Everyone laughed and laughed. Chris Wakey also stood up and shook hands with Wang Yang with a smile on his face, saying, ”Yang, this marriage is very exciting.,
After preliminary negotiations, the specific contract still needs to be drafted. ”Everyone walked out of the meeting room with a smile” and came to the office outside. Seeing their expressions, the employees realized what they were and couldn't help but whisper to each other in excitement. Chris Wakee clapped his hands and shouted with a smile: ”Guys” I want to announce something! ”Phil, Austin and other employees all stood up. I saw Chris Wakee looked at Wang Yang next to him and smiled:” Yes ”you also know.” We agreed to the acquisition of Flame Movies . But this is a beautiful beginning, because we got 100 million to make ”Ice Age”! ”
”Wow!” Phil shouted excitedly, shouting: ”Oh my god, really ?! We can start making movies?” His voice was drowned in applause and cheers. Nearly one in the office Hundreds of employees kept chanting ”keep applauding”. They all knew the promise of the flame film not to lay off staff, and ”Ice Age” will take at least 2 years.
… Yes, “I'm going to make a movie soon!” I heard the voice faintly, ”Wang Yang smiled and answered, looking at the boiling office. This scene reminded him of the scene when he acquired the company a year ago. It also makes people so excited and happy.
The next day, Flame Film and Blue Sky Studio completed the signing of the contract, and Flame Film injected 100 million US dollars ”to get Blue Sky 85 shares, Chris Wake 10, other partners 5. Then” Flame Film announced this to the outside world. A piece of news, and announced that ”Blue Sky Studio will begin to produce the” Ice Age ”animation, is expected to be released in the summer of 2002.
The media and the industry are shocked. I have always heard that Fox is acquiring Blue Sky. Why did the sudden acquisition of Flame Film succeed? But the reason they were surprised is not this, but everyone knows what Blue Sky Studio is. ”Although it got the best short film of this year's Oscar, how is that? They did it for a year! And the short film and the long film are different. , The short film is less than 10 minutes, and there is no line: 90 minutes of the long film, the story and character, the experience of the blue sky studio is zero; in terms of technology ”it looks so rough” even the animal hair is not real, smooth A piece of eyes, looks like a black and white ball, there is no smart and cute feeling.
One thing to know is that ”Ice Age” is said to be an animal movie. Do n’t animals in the ice age grow hairy? So what is the mammoth?
Of course, if it is a big company, like Fox, or Warner Bros. bought Blue Sky for 100 million, no one will be surprised; but now it is a flame movie less than a year old, it is magical! That ’s right, the 19-year-old is the youngest billionaire. ”But his net worth will not exceed 200 million. The production cost of High School Musical 2 is 30 million. The budget announced by“ When Happiness Comes to Knock on the Door ” It ’s forty million yuan. It is said that there will be a “Juneau” next year. Now it ’s slamming another one hundred million out ... Is he really crazy?
”Times” comment: ”Undoubtedly, Blue Sky Studio is worthy of pleasure, Chris-Wakee is worthy of pleasure, they have received tremendous help. And for the behavior of Miracle Yang, I have been thinking for a long time” can only say the courage of this young It's amazing! With such a drastic investment, is he risking desperately, or is he really full of confidence? Anyway, ”He's a crazy guy! With a lot of money, he was rampant in the sea of business, really a madman.”
There is also a lot of discussion on the Internet, and fans of Flame Movies and Wang Yang are very excited. “It ’s like a big victory; and more people are sighing again and again, just like the editor ’s comment on the entertainment version of Yahoo Forum:” , Magic Yang is always flooded in front of us ”seriously” I am a little tired of seeing him in the entertainment version ”but today he even occupied the commercial version, unforgivable! But what he did, he had to Surprising and interesting ”I agree with the evaluation of” Hua Er Jie Daily ”” Crazy. ”
Regarding the flame movie ... ”Hao Dao seizes love” ”20th Century Fox Company seems to be very indifferent. In a media interview, company spokesman James M. Finn said,” This is indeed a very regrettable thing. We had high hopes for the Blue Sky Studio ”I hope to absorb its excellent talents and technology, and now everything is different.” But we have an excellent animation department in our county, ”” Frozen Planet ”will be launched on the market next year ...”
Chris Yiweiji, the founder of Blue Sky Studio, said in an exclusive interview with the Times: ”We choose Flame Movies because of its sincerity,” adequate funding, no layoffs, and research and development technology ”. Are there more conditions? I have different opinions on the magical young in the accident world. He is a great young man. He is not crazy, he did not spend 100 million yuan to buy a toy. He understands animation movies and the concept of Blue Sky Studio very well. ”I know that his acquisition was well thought out, and my consent is also true. This will be a correct decision.
I learned that Wang Yang ... bought a toy for $ 100 million. ”His lovers and friends were very surprised.
”Dude, you are so speechless, ... wow!” Joshua's voice was full of excitement, shouting: ”One hundred million !? Oh” Oh my god, if you change it to a coin, it can cover the entire lywood. Avenue? Then, Wang Yang felt speechless and said, ”Why are you thinking of this?” Joshua also felt a little strange and smiled, ”I don't know” just thought. ”
Natalie Portman sent a text message ”Congratulations on your successful acquisition, and don't forget the sub-lens design of” Junuo ”.” Wang Yang shrugged helplessly when he saw this text message on his mobile phone. Tali had some dissatisfaction with his recent ”crazy behavior”.
”Can I participate in the dubbing of” Ice Age ”? Man” I have loved animation since I was a kid ... ”As soon as Zacari's call was connected, he said nonstop without stop ~~ Waiting for his breath, Wang Yang had the opportunity to say: ... Zachary, I will recommend you to Chris Wakee, but I am not the master. The purchase contract stated that the flame film will not interfere and interfere The production of ”Ice Age”, Blue Sky Studio has the greatest degree of freedom.
Seeing Jessica ’s name displayed on the screen of the phone, Wang Yang walked to the balcony while connecting, saying, ”Hi! Jessica, got it? ”
”Jan, is this the surprise you said?” Jessica's tone sounded incredible. ”Wang Yang leaned against the railing,” looking at the dark night sky, and said warmly, ”Yes, do you like it?” The animation of Blue Sky Studio will accompany our child's growth, let her have a beautiful childhood. ”Jessica sighed softly and said: ... Yang, I ..., she laughed” said: ”I don't know how to say, are you a good father?”
”Yes!” Wang Yang smiled too. He frowned and asked, ”Jessie, what's wrong with you?” The sound sounds a bit different, and the nasal sounds are heavy. ”Jessica snorted and explained:” I have a cold, just a small cold. She said a little bit uncomfortably: ”Rachel was also infected by me.” She said with a smile again: ”We all have to wear masks to film the movie.” The director said that in the later stage, he changed the face back with special effects. ”
Although she was a bit worried, Wang Yang was amused by her and said, ”Yes, this is the best way to deal with slugs.” M
