There was a fierce conversation in the office. Even if the sound insulation was good, people passing by outside could still hear the excited voice of the technical director, and the worry on their faces would be heavier.
You can't do this, Steve!
Ed Camore supported his hands on the desk, leaning forward and looking at the middle-aged man with a slightly bald forehead behind him with a burning gaze. We are about to succeed. As long as there is enough time, we will definitely succeed. You can't say no at this time, Steve.
Jobs did not speak, but took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose and started to wipe it.
Think about it, Steve, how many difficulties have we overcome since its establishment?
Camore continued to persuade, we came step by step, now we can finally see the dawn, but you want to sell the studio?This is equivalent to letting our efforts over the years be spent!Remember, Steve, what did you say when you and me and John had a long talk all night long?You said that our beliefs and enthusiasm have touched you. Has your enthusiasm been exhausted now?
I know your mood, Ed.
Jobs breathed slowly. To this day, I still admire your passion and belief.However, Ed, I am a businessman more often, and businessmen are very realistic. I have lost more than one million yuan every year since 1986. In addition to the investment in publicity in recent years, I have spent almost 10 times the money I bought the studio!
But... But... Camore still wanted to argue, but Jobs raised his hand to stop him: You know, Ed, my career is all on a personal computer. I bought the studio and I also valued your development capabilities.And now, I'm just in need of funds to expand NeXT, so...
He spread his hands and made a very regretful gesture. Camore was stunned for several seconds before slowly sitting down, and then covered his face dejectedly: Is everything irreversible?
OK, Ed, relax.
Jobs then slowed down and said comfortingly, "No matter what, they have worked together for so many years and have established Pixar together, and they still have some feelings. I will not easily sell Pixar to those who have no interest in computer animation. There is also my hard work in it, and I will not see it collapse."You have seen that person, Adrian Cowell, who visited the studio last time, is very optimistic about the prospects for computer animation.
Camol opened his mouth and finally stood up with a wry smile: I understand, so that's it.
He walked out of Jobs' office with a strong spirit, and Camore returned to his work compartment. Rust, Stanton and others had been waiting here for a long time.
No, Ed?Seeing him like this, Rust asked worriedly.
Steve has decided.
Camore barely squeezed out a smile, but it doesn't matter. We have seen the people who bought Pixar. They were the ones who came to visit last time, Adrian Cowell, known as the miracle director.Steve said he is optimistic about the prospects for computer animation, so everything will be fine.
Although this was said nicely, the core figures present smiled bitterly, but they didn't say anything else. They sighed a few times and then left. Then Kamore took off his glasses and rubbed his head.
They actually knew that this was a normal business transaction. After all, Pixar was established entirely by Jobs alone, and no one could stop him from selling it.
But what Camore and the others were worried about was that after spending a few years creating and cultivating, they finally saw hope and failed.
Although Jobs served as the CEO of the studio, most of his energy was spent on computer companies, so Camell was actually handled by all major and small matters here.
Because they have worked together for so long and know what kind of person each other is, Jobs has always been very relieved to throw his hands in front of him.
But now it is someone else whom Camore and the others don’t know anything about it. God knows whether he will adapt the entire Pixar according to his own wishes?
Camel can still recall the undeniable attitude towards the studio when Adrian came to visit, but in his opinion, this is the best atmosphere for making computer animation. If...
OK, cheer up, maybe not that bad.
Camor whispered comforting himself, then looked at the computer in front of him and was slightly ecstatic.
He seemed to have returned to the time he worked with Rust at Disney more than ten years ago. They got together because of their common hobbies, and then worked hard for it. When they failed, they went to Industrial Light and Magic again. Then they were lucky enough to meet Jobs and established Pixar with friends who had the same dream. Now all this is facing an unknown future. What will happen?
A few days later, with the relevant legal procedures completed, Pixar was officially under AC Media, and Adrian, who was originally filming a new movie in New York, also returned to Los Angeles and went to Pixar Studio to take a look.
Like before, Camol and Rust waited outside the studio early, but this time there was no Jobs.
Adrian is still so young, with a clear angular face, magnificent spirit, and extraordinary confidence.
But he was not as casual as last time, but wearing a T-shirt and trousers. Although he still brought his beautiful female secretary, he was more casual because of his unruly.
Hopefully, the worst case scenario will not occur.Camore thought so in his heart when he shook hands with him.
There was not much nonsense between each other, and after a few greetings Adrian immediately summoned everyone in the studio to the conference room.
Very happy to work with you.
Adrian's opening remark is like this. I visited the studio a few days ago. Do you know what impressed me the most?It was Mr. Spader who leaped through the corridor on a skateboard, Ms. Lexie's shouting, and Mr. Stanton's harsh questioning Mr. Leicester.
Adrian's tone was very calm and there was nothing to compare with, but Camel, who heard in his ears, still frowned after looking at Lester, and the few people who were pointed to the name moved unconsciously.
From these, I saw... Adrian slowly glanced at the conference room, casual, frivolous, too free, not knowing how to be self-respecting, no distinction between superiors and subordinates, and...
Every time he said a word, the faces of the people around him became ugly, and Camore's heart was also sunk. Did the situation he didn't want to see finally come?
And infinite vitality!
At this moment, Adrian suddenly raised his voice, and he stood up, holding his hands on the long table in the conference room and emitting a momentum. All the staff present, including Camol, Raster, etc., were surprised by this sudden change.
I think everyone knows that I am an investor and a director. I believe someone has also seen my works.As a director, I know the importance of imagination. Without enough imagination, it is impossible to make a great work.However, although movies require imagination, they also limit imagination in many places, while animations are different. The way it expresses and produces them determines that the people who make it need passion, vitality, and richer imagination!
Adrian waved his hand fiercely, with a confident smile on his lips. Camore, who listened, couldn't help but laugh. He finally understood that what Adrian said just now was intentional.
In animation, we can describe our imagination to the fullest, and animation will be more vital, so the environment for cultivating imagination is crucial. Even if people with imagination are left in a pool of stagnant water, they will sooner or later be wiped out.Although Dinis' 2D animation still has a rising momentum, its conservatism is right in front of us, and now is the moment when 3D animation is rising!
Adrian waved his arms and had a breathtaking power. I like Pixar, I don’t tell lies, I like the freedom here without any prestige, the freedom here is full of vitality and hope, and people have a positive impulse.After I have seen Pixar's history and all the things you have done for it, I know that your success is only a matter of time, so I sold it without hesitation. I believe that the first 3D animated film will be born from you and will be carried forward in your hands.
Listening to this inspiring and high-spirited preaching, everyone in the conference room opened their mouths, as if they were at a loss. Then, the applause of a slap began. At first, it was just a person who was filming, but immediately others also started filming. Finally, the warm applause stirred back and forth in the small conference room.
Thank you, thank you everyone.
Adrian pressed down with his hands, and then continued to say after the applause was lowered: I know what you are worried about, please rest assured, I will not interfere with anything in the studio, and I will reserve everything in my previous practices. I believe that through what I said just now, everyone should also understand what I think.Of course, a small change is still needed, that is, Mr. Ed Camore will serve as CEO of the studio!
Everyone in the conference room was stunned, and then warm applause burst out again, and many people even whistled or high-five to celebrate.
If the applause just now is just a way to deal with the new boss's idea, the applause now comes from the heart. Camore is definitely expected to be the CEO, and it can be seen from another aspect that the new boss does not have the idea of changing the studio.
Thanks.
Camore, who breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, then stood up in the applause and said a few words of encouragement. He did not completely let go. Although Adrian's clear attitude made everyone feel relieved, there was still an urgent problem to be solved.
Everyone's meeting basically ended here, most of them left the conference room, and only a few core figures were left.
Adrian casually made his attitude, but Pixar's related business still needs to be inquired about, and Camore and the others also happened to need to seek his support.
You can't do this, Steve!
Ed Camore supported his hands on the desk, leaning forward and looking at the middle-aged man with a slightly bald forehead behind him with a burning gaze. We are about to succeed. As long as there is enough time, we will definitely succeed. You can't say no at this time, Steve.
