rising director

I think I can become a superman in minutes.

In this way, the story will make more sense.

Because of the original movie, the hero took the medicine and really became a superman. Learn the piano in 45 minutes, learn to trade stocks in a few days, learn foreign languages ​​at your fingertips, read a book in 1 minute, and learn various things.It is a waste of talent for such a person not to rule the world.

But such a male lead still wants to borrow money to speculate in stocks!

I'm so sorry for my talent!

Even more unreasonable. NT-48 is basically circulated in gossip, but there are few outstanding characters. Even a gangster knows how to dilute the medicine into injections to maintain the efficacy of the medicine reasonably.I don't want to pursue the principle of medicine!

These unreasonable deliberations, coupled with the messy ending, made "Never Ending", which was supposed to be a masterpiece, much worse in grade, and it can be said that it was a waste of an excellent idea.

Now Wan Xiaohu is here to shoot.It is to restore the aspect of this movie that should have been a masterpiece!

Speaking up.In the field of cul films, Wan Xiaohu already has two masterpieces of sci-fi, "Butterfly Effect" and "Source Code", and another masterpiece about the brain field "Never Ending", and then several films that may be promoted to God If the movie he made is revised and released, the title of the greatest sci-fi director of the 21st century will definitely not escape.

Exciting to think about!

"Gerld, Leslie, please hurry up with the script. According to what I said, completely overthrow the storyline and start over. You don't need to follow the novel. Of course, I want to make a Chinese film, and I will contact a few people. Chinese screenwriter, participate in the background setting work, you should cooperate a lot."

"Don't worry, Tger, we will write "Never Ending" perfectly!"

"That's good, you guys are busy, I hope to get the script in two months."

Don't worry about the script anymore, Wan Xiaohu concentrated his energy on "Kung Fu Panda". Abao Animation Studio learned a lot of animation production knowledge in the process of cooperating with DreamWorks, and Wan Xiaohu never cared about money. poaching behavior.Almost all the employees of Pixar Animation, Blue Sky Animation, Disney Animation, and Sony Animation were hooked up by Wan Xiaohu with checks.

Regardless of how short the establishment of Abao Animation Studio is, it is now full of talents, especially the North American branch, which can be said to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

There are more people, so it is natural to open a new film.

Wan Xiaohu had already registered several good animation movie scripts, which came in handy at this time.First of all, Andrew Stanton, the director of "Finding Nemo", was invited to direct Abao Animation's big production "Robot Story".

"I didn't expect that you would invite me to direct "Robot Story". When I learned that there was a script about robots, I wanted Pixar to buy it for shooting several times, because I also had some ideas like this, making a movie about robots. I just thought that Abao Animation is also an animation company, so I didn’t take any action. I didn’t expect that you invited me in the end.”

Andrew Stanton is the director of Pixar. He has directed "A Bug's Life" and "Finding Nemo", and wrote the screenplay of "Finding Nemo". He can be said to be a famous animation director.Animation directors are a little different from general directors. Basically, the directors themselves are all born in animation art, so they have positions in animation companies themselves.

Generally, directors make movies and have no connection with film companies, but animation companies rely entirely on animation directors to manage them.

"Let me tell you the truth. Although Abao Animation has recruited many well-known animation engineers, it still lacks a leader who can take the lead. I know that you are very talented, Andrew, but at Pixar, you have John Lasseter on top of you." A great director, I think your creation will be restricted by him to some extent."

Wan Xiaohu is now very familiar with bluffing people, and he likes to bluff directors who like to create freely.As a world-renowned animation company, Pixar has many well-known directors, such as Andrew Stanton, Peter Docter, John Goodman, etc., but Pixar's leader is John Lasseter.

John Lasseter has directed "Toy Story" and other well-known cartoons, and is the director of all Pixar animations.Power in hand, all animated movies.You have to get his permission before you can start shooting.

Andrew Stanton was naturally led by John Lasseter.

"If you want, you are the chief of Abao Animation. I can entrust you with the operation of this company." Wan Xiaohu continued to offer the price he gave.

"Um, I think I need time to digest."

"Of course, such a hasty invitation seems irregular. You haven't fully seen Po's animation. However, Andrew, we can cooperate with "Robot Story" first. During the cooperation process, you can learn about Po's animation to the fullest. And One thing, I still have the books of three animation films in my hand, as long as you agree to join Abao Animation, I will hand them over to you to operate, and you will be the leader of Abao Animation!"

"Here, can I take the script back and think about it first?"

"Of course, I will wait for good news anytime and anywhere."

The temptation of creative freedom and power is not something ordinary directors can resist.Soon, Andrew Stanton agreed to come to Abao Animation to direct "Robot Story".Although he has not yet agreed to join Po Animation, but from his voluntary rejection of Pixar's big production "Toy Story 3", it can be seen that Andrew has an idea.

Power is a good thing.It can quietly change many people and many things.

However, Wan Xiaohu didn't have time to wait for the two sides to further adjust.Abao Animation has a large scale now, but its personnel affairs are chaotic. If it is not in charge of hosting work, problems will arise sooner or later.Therefore, Wan Xiaohu hopes that Andrew can join Abao Animation earlier, and then integrate personnel and build the company's structure.

"Andrew, first of all, I'm very glad that you can take over "Robot Story". I think this is a wonderful choice. What I want to say is, since you have done it, why not simply do it? As long as you join Po Animation now, I can personally advocate , give you 4% of the shares, and you can bring your own team to build Abao Animation according to your ideas!"

Wan Xiaohu's asking price was not ruthless, and directly smashed all of Andrew's hesitation.

The rest is very simple, Andrew. Stanton officially switched to Abao Animation, as the CEO and creative director of Abao Animation.

While Andrew was changing jobs, he also pulled a group of people over.

His good friend Brenda Chapman, Pixar's first female director, once co-directed "The King of Egypt" at DreamWorks, but at Pixar, there were not many directing opportunities.Steve Purcell, senior artist and screenwriter, has not yet directed a film.Dan Scanlon, animation screenwriter, has not acted as a director either...

Animated film is a place where it is not easy for newcomers to get ahead, and old directors almost master everything.

For Andrew's joining, Abao Animation held a grand press conference. Wan Xiaohu personally expressed his welcome to Andrew and his team at the press conference.

"Abao Animation is a young animation studio, but we have strong funds, sufficient talents, and unlimited creativity. Andrew Stanton is a talented director. His experience and interest in animation films are all What Abao Animation needs most, this cooperation, I believe, will be the biggest factor for Abao Animation to take off!"

And this time the news also caused a lot of influence in Hollywood.

"Pixar's biggest poaching ever!"

"Hollywood animated film circle, wolf is coming!"

"Wan Xiaohu is not just playing around with animated films. He poached Andrew Stanton, which shows that he attaches great importance to animated films. I hope these big moves can bring about a reshuffle of the industry and bring new vitality to animated films. We I also look forward to the day when "Kung Fu Panda" is released, which is the day to test Po's animation!" - "The Hollywood Reporter".

And the media will always dig deeper news, and soon there are reports: "The reason why Bao Animation chose to dig Pixar's corner is because Pixar is about to be sold."

This news is true, because Pixar is now facing a situation of changing hands, and Disney is negotiating to acquire Pixar Animation Studios.Wan Xiaohu dug the wall at this time, although on the surface he offended Pixar's old club and future new club, but it was much better than going to see the bayonet after the dust settled.

Besides, it is much more convenient to poach the wall at this time. The employees who left have more excuses to show that they are just afraid that the Pixar after the transaction will no longer be the previous Pixar, and they will not be villains.

"I'm very happy to be able to join Abao Animation. I can't speak. I'm here to announce two things to show my determination. The first thing is that I will direct the cartoon "Machina" invested by Abao Animation. The second thing, Brenda Chapman is going to direct another animated feature, "Up."

After Andrew Stanton integrated and completed the personnel arrangement of Abao Animation, new news was released again.

0281【Brainstorm】

Since February, Wan Xiaohu has been directing "Kung Fu Panda" and working on the project of "A Bite of the Tongue".As China's first documentary with international standards, Bite of the Tongue is undoubtedly a good window to promote the nationalization, and it also shows the most beautiful side of China by virtue of food and the relationship between the working people.

Before Wan Xiaohu was reborn, "A Bite of the Tongue 2" hadn't been aired yet, and he hadn't seen it, but it didn't prevent him from making the first one.

Of course, many memories of the original documentary content have been blurred, and Wan Xiaohu needs to complete it again.However, Wan Xiaohu still remembers the style like a large-scale foreign documentary.

From there he started assembling the team.

"Hey, Liu Yang, are you ready for your first movie yet?"

"Boss, I'm not you. It takes half a year for a film to go from project approval to filming and release. I haven't decided what to make yet. I've searched for a lot of scripts, but I always feel like I'm going to hit the street when I shoot them. I didn’t see a single horoscope.”

"Then change it up. I plan to make a documentary recently. Are you interested in working together?"

"Documentaries? Brother Hu, since when have you become interested in documentaries? What kind of documentaries?"

"I'm interested in everything the camera shoots." Wan Xiaohu then introduced the content, "The name of this documentary is "The Country on the Bite of the Tongue", and it's a food documentary on the surface. Through the acquisition of ingredients to show the changes in rituals and ethics brought about by the lives of Chinese people, I don’t do food shows. What I want to do is stories about laborers.”

"Sounds very interesting, since Brother Hu summoned. How dare I refuse, count me in, and do what you tell me."
