Inside an office at Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank.

As one of the directors of "Mulan", Barry Cook looked a bit downcast, and sitting across from him were the main creators of the film, Pam Coates, Robert Walker and Mark Henn.

"Pam, you should be able to stay at Disney."

"As for Robert and Mark, you can choose to transfer to the animation studio in Florida to continue working." Barry Cook looked at several people, his tone seemed a little downcast.

Among them, Pam Coates is one of the few female workers.

This time, instead of being dismissed, he has been recognized by many company executives, and he is likely to become one of the studio's deputy creative directors.

As for Robert Walker and Mark Henn, if they want to continue working at Disney, they can only choose to go to the animation studio in Florida.

Barry-Cook shook his head and continued: "At the beginning we went to the hometown of "Mulan" together to find the inspiration and source of creation..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Pam Coates said directly: "I would rather choose to leave than to stay in Disney as a disgrace."

"The animation studio division of Twentieth Century Fox has already invited me."

Barry Cook could only sigh. With the rise of 3D computer production technology, the box office of "Mulan" was not ideal, which changed the fate of many people, and Pam Coates is just one of them.

"The animation studio division of 20th Century Fox is not a good choice."

"However, I will respect your choice."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Robert Walker and Mark Henn, "Robert, Mark, are you planning to leave Disney too?"

"Sorry." Robert Walker said silently: "Florida is too far away, and I need to be responsible for the people under me."

"I can continue to work at Disney, but what will they do?"

"We can't just watch them leave Hollywood!"

Pam - Coates is mainly responsible for film creativity, Robert - Walker and Mark - Henn is responsible for painting and other work, each of them has a small team.

Compared with the creative team, the hand-drawn animation technology has been gradually eliminated by the 3D animation production technology. Even Disney has chosen to dismiss the hand-painted staff one after another and turn to the development of 3D animation production technology.

So Robert Walker and Mark Henn need to think not only for themselves, but also for the team members under them.

Mark Henn looked much calmer, "I won't go to Florida, and I won't even continue to engage in hand-drawn animation."

"With the success of Pixar Animation Studios and Blue Sky Studios, DreamWorks Animation Studios also plans to produce a 3D animated feature film."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, "Mr. Jeffery, I am willing to accept me and all team members to join DreamWorks Animation Studio to engage in the production of 3D animation feature films."

Barry Cook looked a bit downcast. Twentieth Century Fox and DreamWorks sent invitations one after another. Only Disney, who had worked for him for many years, chose to dismiss the entire team.

He could understand the mood of the three of them at this time, as well as Eisner's decision.

After all, 3D animation production technology is the general trend of feature-length animated films in the future. It is impossible for Disney to retain all the hand-painted animation teams. .

He even heard some rumors that Disney executives planned to completely close the hand-painted animation production department of Burbank Studios before the end of 2002.

"You all have your own choices, and I will fully respect your opinions, but..."

Barry - Cook took a deep breath, "I hope the whole team can continue to retain, we have not failed."

"The unsatisfactory box office of "Mulan" is not our fault, but choosing a wrong time."

"Barry, what do you want to express?" Pam Coates showed a puzzled look, "You intend to persuade us to stay in Disney!"

Barry-Cook smiled, "It's not Disney, but Orion Pictures. They contacted me yesterday and expressed their willingness to accept all the dismissed personnel, and based on this, they will form a new animation production department to engage in 3D animation. The feature film business."

"I don't think I need to introduce anything. You should have heard of Orion Films and Ryan Gosling."

"Of course." Robert Walker said with bright eyes: "The only independent production company in Hollywood with overseas distribution channels, Ryan Gosling also invested in Blue Sky Studios and spent tens of millions of dollars to support Chris Wedge. Produced a 3D animated feature film "Ice Age."

When it comes to Orion Pictures, some people may have a little understanding, but when it comes to Blue Sky Studios and "Ice Age", the entire "Mulan" production team members are not unclear.

Compared with "Mulan", the 3D animated feature film "Ice Age" and the little squirrel, both released in the summer, are the stars of the entire summer.

Mark Henn knows about Blue Sky Studios and "Ice Age", as well as the famous Ryan Gosling, but he is not very familiar with Orion Pictures, and he rarely pays attention to the situation of Hollywood film companies.

"Orion Films?"

"Compared to DreamWorks!"

Mark Henn explained: "I have already agreed to Mr. Jeffrey, and the conditions offered by DreamWorks Animation Studio are very good."

Many Disney staff have great respect for Jeffrey.

Disney, with Jeffrey, had been dominating the Hollywood feature film production industry at that time, and within a few years of Jeffrey's departure, Disney had become more and more declining.

Barry Cook said: "Jeffrey Katzenberg is very powerful and a person worthy of admiration. DreamWorks Animation Studio is also a good choice."

"KemengWorks is not as good as Orion Pictures as a whole. It doesn't have sufficient funds and overseas distribution channels. It will only drag down the development of DreamWorks Animation Studio in the future."

He was afraid that Mark Henn would not understand, so he could only speak in as much detail as possible, "Prince of Egypt produced by DreamWorks Animation Studio, Orion Pictures has obtained the overseas distribution rights of "Prince of Egypt"."

Pam Coates was silent for a while, before asking a very crucial question, "What about Blue Sky Studios?"

"What is Orion Pictures or Ryan Gosling going to do with Blue Sky Studios!"

It can't be that they just joined Orion Films, and the other party chose to merge with Blue Sky Studios.

In that case, she might as well choose to join the animation department of 20th Century Fox.

"Blue Sky Studios will not be merged into Orion Films, but will be a separate animation production company."

Barry Cook said very seriously: "In the future, we can become another animation studio under Orion Pictures, which has nothing to do with Blue Sky Studios."

"So I hope you'd better consider the invitation of Orion Films, appease the team members under you, and keep the whole team as much as possible."

"Orion Pictures wants to take in the whole team, a team capable of making an animated feature film."

"In this way, we can also get better treatment."

"I have no problem." For Pam Coates, whether she goes to 20th Century Fox, Orion Pictures, or even stays at Disney, the treatment will not be too low.

The only difference is that Orion Pictures wants to take over the entire team, a chance for them to prove themselves.

"I have no problem." Robert Walker nodded, and the whole team went over together, which made him relieved, at least he could have an explanation with his team members.

Mark Henn was left alone and needed to go back and think about it.

Next, formal contacts need to begin.

Not only do you need to contact Orion Films, but you also need to contact 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks at the same time.

Although Hollywood does not lack technical personnel engaged in animation production, a production team with sufficient experience is still a fortune.

For example, Sony Pictures has never had a feature film animation production department, and Paramount and Universal Pictures have only just started in feature film animation production.

Once you get the whole team, you can start working on a traditional hand-drawn animated feature any time, or even switch to 3D animated feature.

Of all the film companies in Hollywood, Disney is probably the only one that can dismiss the entire production team without a care.

Even in the previous life, before 20th Century Fox disbanded its animation studio, it had first reached an acquisition agreement with Blue Sky Studios, otherwise it would be impossible for 20th Century Fox to disband the entire animation studio directly.

"Honey, you should be in Europe now, not my office."

In the office of Orion Films, Ryan looked at the indifferent Scarlett Johansson and asked helplessly, "Okay, what do you want from me!"

He sneaked back from England by himself, and almost scared the crew of "The Horse Whisperer" to call the police.

Fortunately, before she left, she left a note saying that she was going back to Los Angeles, otherwise the crew of "The Horse Whisperer" would definitely be on the front page of the newspaper the next day.

Scarlett Johansson blinked, "I came back to take refuge, that ugly Portman wants to kill me."

Ryan understood a little bit, "Have you visited the Star Wars crew?"

George Lucas chose not to go to Canada or stay in North America to shoot, but chose Warner Bros. Levisden Film Studios, a studio in southeastern England.

Right now, the crew of "The Horse Whisperer" is promoting in the UK, including England.

"I'm just going to teach her a lesson."

While talking ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Scarlett Johansson curled her lips, took out a large ruby ​​and put it on the table, "She accidentally left it in Helen's room."

ruby!

Ryan suddenly felt a headache. The ruby ​​on the table looked very familiar to him.

Anyone who has watched "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" can find that Padmé-Amidala has a ruby ​​​​on her forehead.

"Scarlett!" Ryan almost said through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry, the crew doesn't have that ugly scene these days." Scarlett Johansson said triumphantly, "You can call her and ask her to come back and pick it up."

Ryan suddenly felt powerless. He shouldn't have come back from New Zealand, let alone let Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting across from him, into the office.
