On the third day of the meeting, Barry Cook, Pam Coates, Robert Walker, and Mark Henn left Disney Animation Studios one after another.

In this regard, Disney did not have much to retain.

Some people even hope that they can resign voluntarily. Anyway, more people will continue to be dismissed.

In less than a week, Orion Pictures directly rented a three-story building in Burbank as the office of the newly established animation department.

Barry-Cook and others led a team of hundreds of people, left Disney Animation Studios on their front feet, turned around and came to the new office location, the distance between the two was less than ten minutes.

It's not that Ryan or Orion Pictures wants to provoke Disney, but that Barry Cook and others are used to working in Burbank. Most of their families live there, and moving to North Hollywood is a lot of inconvenience.

"The environment is not bad."

Walking around in the office building I just rented, I feel that the environment is not bad.

Ryan said to Jon Felthammer: "Don't expand personnel on a large scale for the time being, and hurry up to purchase equipment and software."

Although almost a complete team came here, the equipment and software could not be brought out from Disney, and all of these needed to be repurchased.

Most of the equipment and software purchased are from Pixar Animation Studios, and a small part are from Blue Sky Studios. All of them together cost at least several million dollars.

That’s not counting Ryan’s promised $50 million investment and plans to make a 3D animated feature film.

Otherwise, things won't go so smoothly.

Jon Fertimer seemed concerned, "Is the $50 million budget too much?"

"It is completely possible to make a 3D animation short film first, as the original Blue Sky Studio did, and then start to produce 3D animation feature films after getting familiar with 3D production technology."

Feature film animation production is not a Hollywood film crew. You can gather a crew casually and start shooting right away.

Even a mature production team still needs a long time to adapt to 3D animation production methods, styles, equipment, software and so on.

The safest way is to make a 3D animated short film first.

"It can be safe."

Ryan agrees: "But it also needs a goal to inspire people. After all, they just made an animated feature film with a budget of 70 million US dollars."

"What's more, we can get help from Blue Sky Studio in terms of technology."

In fact, Barry-Cook and others will not really start making 3D animation feature films immediately, but will take a long time to adjust.

First of all, I am familiar with 3D animation film production technology, perfect the details of the script, and construct a familiar Disney style, and finally start to produce 3D animation feature films.

It takes at least half a year to a year of preparation time.

In order to make "Mulan", they even went to the other side of the Pacific Ocean to look up a lot of historical materials such as stories, legends, and poems about Hua Mulan.

Compared with 3D animated feature films, traditional hand-drawn animated feature films require more preparations.

So they know better than anyone that if they want to make a classic animated feature film, the preparatory work is the most important part.

Barry Cook even plans to take time to travel to the other side of the Pacific Ocean to find an animation production company to cooperate with to reduce the cost of film production.

"Chris Barker will continue to contact."

Ryan continued: "Sooner or later he's going to change his mind."

The decline of traditional hand-drawn animated feature films has become an irreversible trend, and the production cost of "Tarzan" reached 150 million US dollars. Ryan is almost certain that this film will not be able to recover the investment cost through the North American box office.

In the previous life, the global box office of this film was 440 million US dollars. Counting the high promotional expenses, although Disney did not lose money, it did not bring much income.

Far inferior to "A Bug's Life" and "Toy Story 2" produced by Pixar Animation Studios.

Chris Buck, he will choose to leave Disney sooner or later.

The two came to the meeting room and discussed the next work plan with Barry Cook, Pam Coates, Robert Walker and Mark Henn.

Many people expressed the hope that they could devote themselves to work earlier and prove that they are not a group of losers.

"It is best to get technical support from Pixar Animation Studios in the early stage." Mark Henn had to admit one thing, in terms of 3D animation production technology, Pixar Animation Studios is far ahead.

"Okay." Ryan agreed without thinking, "As long as Pixar Animation Studio agrees, funding is not a problem."

Technical support is not only as simple as purchasing equipment and software, but also various trainings, explanations, etc.

"As long as you pay enough fees, Pixar Animation Studios generally won't refuse." Mark Henn explained.

In fact, Blue Sky Studios, DreamWorks Animation Studios, and Disney, which is developing 3D animation computer production technology, all purchased equipment, software, and professional training from Pixar Animation Studios.

As long as they can afford the money, Pixar Animation Studios, far from refusing, is more than happy to do so.

Not only can it earn a lot of income, but it can also suppress the equipment and technology research of other studios and companies in disguise.

Of course, it is also creating a large number of competitors in disguise.

However, Pixar Animation Studios never cared about the emergence of competitors.

In the end, it will be Disney who will be unlucky.

In terms of market share, the rise of any animation studio first seizes the interests of Disney.

After discussing for a while, Pam Coates sent several hand-drawn drawings to everyone, "This is the initial drawing of the characters based on the script and the characters in "Rapunzel."

Ryan picked it up and glanced at it briefly. Compared with the original Princess Rapunzel, she was a very beautiful female image.

"I don't know much about character modeling design. I only have one requirement, which is to have a dreamlike feeling."

"I hope to create a dreamlike picture and a beautiful world." Ryan expressed his thoughts.

Pam Coates lowered her head and pondered for a while, "Like Snow White?"

Ryan looked at her and nodded in agreement, "You can say that."

"The title of this film happens to have the word princess in it."

But instead of Snow White, it's Rapunzel.

Hearing this, Barry Cook subconsciously flipped through the script outline. There are only five protagonists in the whole story, Rapunzel, Flynn Ryder, the witch Godo, Pascal, and Maximus.

Among them, Rapunzel is the protagonist in the whole story, a kind, beautiful and cheerful Rapunzel, and her long golden hair has great power.

Therefore, he was imprisoned in a high tower in the forest by the vicious and selfish witch Ge Duo.

Flynn-Ryder is the alternative thief Prince Charming throughout the story.

The biggest villain in the whole story of the witch Godo.

Pascal is a lovable chameleon and Maximus is a vengeful white horse dedicated to being funny.

It can be regarded as a typical fairy tale. The alternative prince charming defeated the vicious witch, rescued the kind and beautiful princess, and gained a love.

The main line of the whole story is very similar to Snow White.

"I have a proposal."

Barry Cook put forward his own opinion, "It is not an easy task to make a beautiful fairy tale princess story, and every detail needs to be carefully crafted."

"In this way, it will definitely increase the production cost of the entire film."

"I mean, we can set up an animation studio on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and put most of the production links in the film to the studio on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, so as to save money as much as possible."

Orion Pictures can easily obtain some information about animation studios and companies on the other side of the Pacific Ocean through overseas distribution companies. Not to mention the ridiculously low cost, the speed is also frighteningly fast.

Thinking about this these past few days, he couldn't help but want to scold profiteers. Those Japanese animation studios and companies are simply a group of outright profiteers, and they should really be sent to hell.

"Can."

"You can discuss the details with Jon."

Ryan did not reject his proposal, but was very happy, "It is best to choose a studio or company to invest in and cooperate with, which can save a lot of time."

Don't look at Disney and DreamWorks choosing to cooperate with animation studios in India and Japan. In the new century, most Hollywood film companies have turned to cooperate with the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Pixar Animation Studios also established an overseas animation studio on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Even a number of Hollywood film companies have gradually handed over the production of special effects to companies on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than that the technology on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is not bad, the price is as low as the price of cabbage, and as long as you are willing to pay more, working twelve hours a day is nothing.

If it doesn't work, you can work in two or three shifts, and work as usual on rest days.

At most, pay some overtime pay, triple wages and the like.

Even, some do not even have overtime pay.

"OK."

"I will personally go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean." Barry Cook showed excitement.

This is the second time he is about to set foot on that magical country. The difference is that last time he was looking for inspiration and the source of creation.

This time it's about cooperation.

Ryan looked down at the time on his watch, "Well, let's stop here for now, and go to the Hilton Hotel to enjoy a wonderful night together."

Don't get it wrong, there is no special program~www.wuxiaspot.com~ it's just a small internal gathering.

Of course, some beautiful female models will be invited to the party. Whether they can succeed depends on their personal charm.

As for going to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Ryan didn't remind too much.

At this stage, there is only so much animation industry on the other side of the Pacific Ocean!

Barry-Cook came with a project with a budget of 50 million US dollars, which did not include the provision of equipment, technology, personnel training, etc., as well as 3D computer animation technology.

Whether you set up a studio alone or choose a company to invest in cooperation, you will not encounter any obstacles, and you will even get grand treatment.

Next, Ryan stayed in Los Angeles for a few more days, during which time he met with Chris Barker again, and then quietly returned to the crew of "Inception" in New Zealand.
