Chapter 423 Horse manure and horse urine

Please remember the website website:; Please recommend the introduction to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum post bar! On the first day after entering the new millennium in February, Disney held a press conference at its headquarters in Burbank to announce Four people, Tyrese Gibson, Emile Morik, Ilk Bergs and Haas Duhamel, will join Disney Animation Studios as its key technical executives.

The names of these four people are relatively unfamiliar to most of the media. Only the reporters who run computer animation in the school year know that they are definitely masters in computer animation technology, because they come from the core technical management department of Pixar Studio.

Like Ryan's, there are no corners that can't be pryed, and only the price paid will make people tempted.

The four people triggered the liquidated damages clause in the contract and bought out the remaining contract at a high price. The money will naturally be paid by Disney, and after the job-hopping, both the position and the salary have risen a few steps.

The most important point is that these four people also used another clause in the contract to sell a total of 1.6% of Pixar shares to Walt Disney at a premium of 20%.

And Disney has officially become a shareholder in rival Pixar Studios.

However, this has not attracted too many people's attention. After all, it is normal for Hollywood producers to hold shares with each other, and this share is far from shaking the current state of Pixar.

The reason is very simple, Ryan holds absolute control of Pixar studio.

The IPO in 1995 and the subsequent issuance of shares, Ryan's shares were inevitably diluted, but today, he still holds 51% of Pixar's shares, enough to maintain control of Pixar.

If you add the stake in Nicole's hands, Pixar's surname is almost entirely Jenkins.

Disney's digging of Pixar's corner did not bring a chain reaction. From the animated films that are being produced in the stock market, Pixar studios are still moving forward step by step.

Actually. Only Ryan and Pixar executives knew that Disney had used all the means within the rules and frequently contacted other shareholders of Pixar Studios, wanting to buy their shares.

However. Are these people such as Ed Kammer and John Lasseter, the most core founding members of Pixar, what Disney can give now is far to the extent that they are not tempted, and it seems that all this is useless.

Even Michael Eisner's agent personally approached Nicole Kidman. Ryan had no way of knowing what they talked about, but he believed in Nicole and Nicole did not disappoint him.

Ryan is not stupid. Coupled with the memory of his previous life, he vaguely understood Disney's appeal - the acquisition of Pixar Studios!

It's really interesting. After Ryan got the news, he sighed to himself that his plan was only slightly expanded. Disney has already kicked off the curtain...

Probably hitting the wall one after another, Disney was temporarily quiet for a while, but another group company jumped out again.

Vivendi Group from France has formally submitted an application for the acquisition of Blizzard Entertainment in good faith to Ryan's agent, Scott Swift. Because of the premium acquisition, the total transaction amount reached 4.5 billion US dollars. .

Vivendi is aggressive. It seems to have reached a tacit understanding with Disney and chose a very suitable entry point.

If it were any other time, Ryan would still be worried, but now it is 2000, and Cisco is making great strides towards the throne of the world's largest company by market value.

How can these group companies have extra energy to acquire it enterprises?

but. Disney is certainly an exception, after all, Pixar Studios can revive their traditionally advantaged animation division, and common interests are not allowed to reunite the conflicted Disney board.

In his spare time shooting Gladiator, this was the question Ryan thought about the most.

Michael Eisner has been at the helm of Disney for so many years. It is enough to prove his skill and ability to face the constantly divided Disney board, but to use common interests like Pixar to reunite these people and further consolidate his power and prestige.

Like Ryan himself, with common interests, build a common front.

Even an idiot can come out. If Disney can really bring Pixar under its banner, it will not only reduce the biggest competitor in animation, but also abandon the hand-drawn animation department that has become tasteless and re-establish its dominance in animation.

What should I do? This is the same question that Ryan is considering.

Although he holds more than 50% of Pixar's shares in his hands and takes the absolute initiative, passive counterattack has never been his choice.

Originally, his purpose was very clear. It was to fight for the right to speak in Disney, and then mobilize power to oust Michael Eisner. Now, in the next few years, the entire Disney seems to be going crazy with the tyrant, and the power of capital has taken over. Absolute superiority.

Ryan tightened the leather shawl tightly wrapped around his shoulders, rubbed the Roman dagger in his hand, and thought about his plan through the memories of past and present lives.

It wasn't until a long time later that he looked at the distant mountains and forests. Since he was going to go crazy, let's all go crazy together. This crazy plan has failed. It's a big deal for me to sell all the companies and be a rich family. Weng, if he succeeds, he will become the top group of people in Hollywood, and even in the whole of North America...

Of course, to do all this, we must first ensure the stability of his own front. Ryan knows that the most solid castle often begins to collapse from the inside.

The interest group around him is completely centered on him and Nicole...

Ryan, what are you thinking? Ridley Scott came over and patted his armguard, It's about to start filming.

It has been more than a week since he joined the filming, most of the filming are literary dramas, and Ryan is also slowly looking for his feelings. Recently, there have been many scenes of his ng. After the assistant director found a suitable place, Ridley Scott Special simply brought the crew out and prepared to shoot the opening battle with relatively low individual requirements.

Due to the danger of burning woodland in this battle, the crew was rejected by many areas. Until last month, the assistant director contacted a forest near Farnham. This time, the luck can be extremely good, because the British Forestry Commission It has been decided to cut down all the trees in this area, which is suitable for the crew to shoot.

We will help you burn down this forest! This is Ridley Scott's words in the receipt to the other party.

Although the filming time planned by the crew is only four days, the props team has done a lot of preparations for this. Dozens of ballistas and catapults are necessary, in addition to 20,000 burning arrows and 10,000 conventional arrows.

Since the cameramen and camera carts couldn't keep up with the horses rushing down steep slopes and through the woods, the crew also laid temporary rails in the woods and battlefields on which to mount cameras and capture spectacular scenes along the terrain.

Ryan walked next to his old comrade-in-arms and patted the long horse's face lightly. Before Brigger arrived in Los Angeles, he came to the United Kingdom and participated in the shooting of an epic masterpiece again.

Brigo, we're going to fight side by side again. Ryan got on his horse and walked away from the shooting venue.

Hundreds of extras and British soldiers gathered in the camp full of wooden stakes, all dressed as standard Roman soldiers, moving back and forth under the command of several officers.

There is no shot of Ryan yet. He rode Brigger slowly in the mountains and woods, not only to warm up the horse, but also to let him familiarize himself with the terrain. Other stuntmen who served as cavalry teams are also doing the same Work.

The whole morning was basically spent in this state. After lunch, the crew moved to the woods to prepare for the shooting of the cavalry.

The thirty-second scene, the twenty-first act, start now!

This is another pre-war mobilization, but compared to the one a few months ago, the atmosphere is a little more relaxed, after all, this is a speech under the circumstance that the Roman Legion has the absolute upper hand.

Before hitting the horse cavalry, Ryan grabbed Brigo, Brothers! Warriors!

Maximos! The cavalry raised their weapons and paid tribute to their general.

Three weeks from now, I will be harvesting crops in the fields, imagine where you want to go, your wish is coming true!

Ryan paused for a moment, and after Brigg's neigh, he continued, Don't back away, just follow me! If you find yourself alone and galloping on the grassland alone against the sun, don't worry, it's because You are in heaven, and you are dead...

All the cavalrymen laughed.

Brothers! Ryan looked extremely serious, Our deeds will be immortal!

Ridley Scott suddenly called 'cut', and then shouted to the side, Expression, pay attention to your expressions, you are fighters who are going to the battlefield, not joking, especially Ryan, take it seriously. , focus on it!

Nodding, Ryan waved his apology, and when the assistant director asked, he made another ok gesture.

Not long after the start of this time, the director called to stop again. The problem was not the actor, but the dog of Maximus. There was probably a wind blowing in the woods in the distance, making a few noises, which attracted this question. The big dog that was rented from the circus kept barking and barking, which made the crew who used the live recording had to interrupt.

After finally waiting for the trainer to settle the dog actor, the war horse went wrong again.

Since the crew did not shoot many scenes of horse battles, most of the war horses were temporarily rented, unlike the Lord of the Rings crew, who had undergone a long period of training and stood here for a long time, one after another. The beginning of solving physiological problems.

The unpleasant smell of horse manure and horse urine suddenly filled the woods.
