    After a lot of back and forth, Lucasfilm's computer studio finally changed hands. Industrial Light and Magic definitely can't get it, at least not yet.  After Mo Fei's persuasion, Lucas was no longer so inexperienced. Lucasfilm's theater sound system THX and Skywalker Sound Effects Studio, as well as the physical special effects and model studios, were invested by Mo Fei.  Forty percent, and the price that must be paid is twelve million US dollars.  Five million of them were used as operating funds for the computer special effects studio. Lucas was really out of money. The computer studio didn't have a cent of capital reserves. No wonder he had to sell it.  After taking over the studio, the first priority was to change the name. I didn¡¯t even want to think too much about it and just used the name ¡°Pixar¡± from my previous life.  The next step is to start production. Boss Qiao is a good hand at computers, but he is a complete rookie when it comes to movies. He needs to be guided by this expert.  The studio we just took over still needs to stabilize people's hearts and other operations. There are no special arrangements. It is announced that the original staff placement will not be changed, everyone's salary is promised to be increased, etc., and then there are three things to do to open the door.  The first one is to make the leader of the studio, that is, the newly appointed Gang Leader Qiao. As long as it is not a critical decision, the orders of Gang Leader Qiao will basically prevail. As a boss and investor, except for the big boss  Basically not involved in daily operations except for the designated direction.  The second point delineates the development goal of the studio. It is to become an important or even leading computer special effects team in film festivals. It will develop image processing software and produce computer animated films as its first business, and undertake animation special effects production for various movies as its secondary business.  Production of animated advertising business and animated short films as auxiliary business.  The third point is more realistic and needs to be implemented immediately. No one likes projects that just invest in projects that do not generate profits, so the products must keep up.  The studio's own promotional video and title sequence were to be produced. Could it be that this one also used the small desk lamp from the previous life? Then four more scripts and some artwork were produced.  This is a lot of money in the future.  Mo Fei picked up the three thicker scripts and a stack of drawings and told Jobs and chief animator John Lester: "This script is called "The Little Mermaid," and it is adapted from Andersen's fairy tale "The Mermaid." These drawings  The draft is the image of the characters in the play. I made it in a hurry. There may be some places that are not so beautiful. You can work on it a little. The production of this story is relatively easy. It took us one and a half years to complete it and we will try to finish it by Christmas next year.  This script "Beauty and the Beast" is adapted from a famous French fairy tale, which has been adapted into many movies and stage plays before; this script is a classic story from "Aladdin" and "One Thousand and One Nights".  "Beauty and the Beast" should be familiar to you. Our plan is to release it in the summer of 1988, and "Aladdin" will be produced a little later and before the summer of 1990. The three scripts should not be difficult.  , so we have to try to make it as beautiful as possible, so that the audience will be more happy when they spend money." Then he picked up the relatively thin script and the thick picture book below and said, "This story is called "The Simpsons" and it belongs to the family.  It's a relatively funny cartoon drama. I'm planning to buy it from a TV station. It's much simpler to make than the previous three movies, but this one is likely to bring the most profit, so hurry up and make it in June.  It has been done before, and you will be surprised when the time comes. "The method shown in the movie is undoubtedly powerful. Even Steve Jobs has learned a lot in the past two days, and now he talks about this cartoon show like this.  Xuanhu, Gang Leader Qiao focused on the graphics and text part.  I couldn't help but open the album and look through it.  It didn't matter at this glance. I was almost staggered by the drawings inside that were close to cerebral palsy. I shook the drawings in my hand and asked Mo Fei in disbelief: "Mo, are you sure you drew these things?"  Really? This is completely incomparable with the previous images of princesses and princes. Are you sure that this kind of cartoon show can bring us huge profits?" "The frog in the well.  Could it be that he looked at Jobs and John Lester, who was also confused, like a country bumpkin, but had to explain: "Like, I'm very sure that I drew these things. But I can also  Definitely, these things can definitely bring us huge profits. Maybe these tasks seem ridiculous, or even difficult to watch at all. Even children who have just entered elementary school can draw better than this, and they are more aesthetically pleasing.  I still think that these ugly guys are equal to the green Franklin, and the amount is huge. But don¡¯t forget, I am the boss of this studio. I have invested 10 million here, and I will also work on these four scripts.  Invest moreThe money may exceed 100 million US dollars.  So I should be the one who needs to worry most about these investments, but at the same time I am also a film and TV series producer. I believe that there will be no problem with my vision. You two, just wait until your wrists are sore because of the bookmarks. I believe it.  I'm not wrong, at least I won't have trouble with my own money.  Or you may think that with so many producers in Hollywood, there are many who lose money, but please ask and recall whether the movies and TV series I invested in have ever failed.  You can only get one answer, never, so I won't fail this time.  ¡± This is really not an exaggeration, it¡¯s even a bit too restrained. ¡°The Simpsons¡±, a cartoon show featuring bad students, is not just a cartoon series, it is also an extremely crazy cartoon show.  American language and television programs have had a huge impact and have even become a symbol of culture. Board games, video games, comics, DVDs, movies and other audio-visual and printed matter, as well as catering foods such as ice cream, cola, donuts, etc.  Derived from. In addition to its influence, its ability to attract money is even more terrifying. After Fox launched this cartoon show in its previous life, it earned more than 2 billion US dollars in global revenue in just one and a half years.  It¡¯s hard to imagine how much money you can make if you continue doing this for thirty years or even longer. To say how crazy this cartoon is, you only need to give an example to illustrate, because the film has some problems for students who don¡¯t study hard.  Suspected of praising and praising, this cartoon series enjoyed the treatment of being severely criticized by the then Vice President of the United States, but this criticism could not stop the enthusiasm and craziness of the show, which directly swept the world. If this is not considered a success  If so, how many of them are successful? Similarly, the other three animated movie scripts are not necessarily annoying, and these three scripts can also be said to have sinister intentions, of course for himself.  Or for Phoenix Culture and Pixar Studios, it is a great thing. The three animated films "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin" are Disney's 28th, 30th and 3rd respectively.  Eleven classic animated feature films, the three films cost a total of more than 93 million US dollars, and the box office exceeded one billion US dollars. Since entering the 1980s, Disney's animated feature films have continued to make money.  It has not been successful in the market. From "The Fox and the Hound" to "Legend of the Black Cauldron" to "The Great Dog" and "The Adventures of Oliver", the highest box office result was only over 70 million, and the investment failed.  At the same time, it was also criticized. It was not until the release of "The Little Mermaid" in the late 1980s that Disney reversed its decline and won more than 200 million box office. It also gained a breathing space and took the time to launch "Beauty and the Beast" one after another.  " and "Aladdin" finally stabilized Disney's position in the animation industry and opened up a Renaissance era for Disney. The launch of these three movies also allowed the declining Broadway musicals to find a new way out.  We have made a wonderful turnaround through movies. Therefore, these three animated films are definitely an extremely important part of the history of American films and even the history of world animated films. We must be enemies. The success of our enemies is our own failure. Is it possible?  What we need to do now is to directly cut off Disney's escape route, plunge Disney into an endless loop with no way out, and replace it with Pixar. Maybe Disney can survive for a while with its deep foundation, but it will only be delayed.  There is only a deadline for death, and there is no cure for terminal illness. It won¡¯t take long, at most ten years, and animated films will become the world of Pixar. No other company can compete with it, and this is just Phoenix.  It's just one step towards dominating the film industry.  If they hadn¡¯t won Pixar, they wouldn¡¯t have had the confidence to do so. You have to know that the reason why Disney in the previous life expanded crazily and dominated the animated film market since the late 20th century was that Pixar contributed a lot. This is why Disney is willing to use Seven  The important reason for the acquisition of Pixar at a cost of more than one billion US dollars is that Pixar is just a tiger. It can sleep well if it does not put the breeding rights in its own hands.  But now that Pixar is in his possession, and coupled with the advantage of predicting the future, he has every reason and confidence to start this future giant company in advance.  Shenma Disney Princess Series, Shenma Disney Theme Park, Shenma Disney Cruise Line, walking around with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in your arms is the highest treatment. Being one of the representatives of American movies can only be like this.  Of course, as a foreigner, it is not easy to dominate Hollywood. Think about how much commotion the Japanese caused after they acquired Columbia and MGM. This must be learned.  Fortunately, the seniors have already given some advice from experience. To do this kind of thing, you still have toIt's impossible to win over a group of people without allies. There are eight major film companies in Hollywood, and there are not a few people with whom we can cooperate.
