Chapter 349 Long-Coveted Technology

Tuesday, November 23.

It was only two days before Thanksgiving in 1999.

On this day, many media reporters in the United States came to Pixar animation company one after another, like cats smelling fish.

"Have you heard the news?" Hopelin, a female reporter for The New York Times, asked a male reporter next to her.

"Hopelin, isn't what you said nonsense? It's not true news, will I come all the way from Hawaii?" The male reporter pouted.

A group of reporters and photographers, as many as a hundred people, whispered at the press conference scene, a little impatient.

After all, Pixar Animation will cooperate with Waterworld Animation, which is definitely a big event that shakes the animation field.

"These two animation companies are cooperating. It is estimated that the executives of DreamWorks Animation will definitely not be able to sleep in the near future."

"Oh, definitely so."

"I vaguely remember that three months ago, I interviewed Mr. Jeffrey Katzenberg of DreamWorks Animation, and he swore to say that their new animation "Brave the Golden City" would be released on Thanksgiving this year. Scheduled for a showdown with Pixar's Toy Story 2, but now...he's cowardly."

"David, I also interviewed Jeffrey Katzenberg about this. Now Pixar's "Toy Story 2" is on Thanksgiving schedule, and what about them? The date has been moved to March tomorrow, tsk tsk tsk~ I'm afraid of Pixar animation!"

"Waterworld Animation and Pixar Animation are both listed companies and leaders in the animation field. Now the two companies are going to carry out in-depth cooperation, which must be a major event affecting the animation pattern!"

There was a lot of discussion.

Soon...  

John Lasseter, vice president of Pixar animation and well-known animation director;

Stephen Solenberg, president of Waterworld Animation and well-known animation director;

The two appeared together.

Well, to be precise, they came together with a laugh.

"Dear journalists, fellow compatriots in the same industry, ladies and gentlemen,

good morning guys. "

Facing a group of media reporters, Lasseter said loudly: "The news you received is not wrong. The purpose of holding this press conference today is to inform everyone, the United States, and the people of the world. From now on, I will Fang Pixar animation company will launch a series of cooperation in the water world animation, whether it is in the field of project or technical field, they will work closely together."

The voice fell.

Suddenly, a stone stirred up a thousand waves!

Although everyone present had their own news channels and guessed a lot, when things really came out of Lasseter's mouth, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Man, this is Pixar and Waterworld!

In addition to Disney Animation, which is a subsidiary of the old Disney Group, there is also a slight tiger power. Looking at the current American animation field, who can compete with the alliance between Pixar and Water World Animation?

Neither does DreamWorks Animation!

"Is this true?!" a reporter couldn't help shouting.

"Ha ha!"

On the podium, Stephen Solenberger, president of Waterworld Animation, took the microphone and smiled at the crowd: "Of course it's true. How can we dare to joke about such a big thing? Starting today, we will be working with Pixar. animation, and a series of in-depth collaborations."

"Sigh~"

A reporter couldn't help but gasped, clenched his fists, and said excitedly, "This is really big news!"

The press conference ended quickly, and all the media reporters present walked faster.

They have to rush the manuscript!

They are eager to make this news public in the shortest possible time.

......

The conference was over in less than an hour.

Many media and newspapers participating in the press conference today published news for the first time.

The Los Angeles Entertainment Journal wrote: "Two great companies working together - will be even greater!"

The "California Entertainment News" issued an article: "It is foreseeable that the stock price of Water World Animation will rise again."

These two media newspapers, which can be called hardcore lackeys under Zhu Ke's command, will naturally not miss this big news.

The actions of other media are not much different.

The New York Times published an article: "In the field of computer animation, Pixar Animation ranks first, and Waterworld Animation ranks third, second only to DreamWorks Animation, which ranks second, but now Pixar and Waterworld are cooperating, we It can be imagined that in the near future, Water World Animation will surpass DreamWorks Animation!"

Not long after the news was exposed, it was as expected!

DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg, stunned!

The other two of the DreamWorks Big Three, Spielberg and David Geffen, also arrived at DreamWorks Animation for the first time.

"Can you count?"

"Are you two satisfied now?"

"I told you earlier that DreamWorks Animation will be listed independently, but you don't listen, hoping that the group will be listed as a whole!"

"Now that Waterworld is cooperating with Pixar, where is our DreamWorks Animation going?"

"Let's not say anything else, just in terms of funding, the two of them can throw us a street~"

Jeffrey Katzenberg's long-held anger erupted at this moment, like a volcanic eruption, and it couldn't stop.

He was really annoyed!

"If DreamWorks Animation is now a listed company, then even if Pixar and Waterworld Animation cooperate, we are not incompetent, but now? We don't accompany people to carry shoes!!!"

Jeffrey Katzenberg roared at the Spielberg duo.

Spielberg: "..."

David Geffen: "..."

The two were speechless. In fact, they saw the water world animation first listed, and after successfully harvesting the leeks in the last flight, they were already too regretful. Now, this fact is ruthlessly torn apart by Katzenberg, and the two are rather embarrassed.

The in-depth cooperation between Waterworld Animation and Pixar Animation, DreamWorks Animation is terrifying, and other small and medium-sized animation companies in the United States are almost desperate to death.

Even Blue Sky Studio, with Fox Films backing, fell into a dead silence at the moment after learning the news.

"The two of them cooperate, this is the rhythm that will kill us!" Chris Wedge gritted his teeth.

Carlos Saldanha, who is also the director of "Ice Age", also sighed: "Don't say that you are surprised, just now, Mr. Murdoch personally called me and said that he will give us more in the future. support."

What about Murdoch? !

Hearing this, everyone in Blue Sky Studio couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The power of the water world animation and Pixar animation teaming up, if they say they are not worried, it is definitely a lie. However, with the support of the media tycoon and film tycoon Murdoch, they are not without the power to fight.

......

Water world animation.

Looking at the excited David Messer and other Waterworld animation employees, Zucker couldn't help asking, "Is Pixar's technology enjoyable?"

"Uh?"

David Messer was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Boss, this is quite enjoyable! The last time I attended the premiere of "Toy Story 2", I was full of envy for Pixar's technical level."

An executive couldn't help but echoed: "Their technology is too good, in the fields of water pattern, hair, light and shade, emotional simulation... These fields have surpassed our water world animation by at least 3 to 5 years. I have to say, they are really good."

David Messer said again: "Boss, if we had these advanced technologies early on, then our "Finding Nemo" would be even better."

Everyone in the water world animation discussed it one after another, and their expressions were all excited.

Seeing this situation, Zu Ke couldn't help but feel complacent.

Zucker supports Jobs' decision at Apple, and the content of his exchange of interests is impressively the advanced technology possessed by Pixar animation.

There is no doubt that with the technical support of Pixar animation, the future of water world animation will be brighter!

Likewise, Pixar animation has great benefits.

You must know that although Pixar Animation is very successful at this stage and has produced excellent animated films one after another, they once signed a series of terms with the Disney Group at a low point, which can be called "humiliating the country", giving up a lot of Benefit to Disney.

Is Pixar willing?

Was Jobs himself reconciled?

Of course not reconciled!

They are now collaborating with Zucker, fully embracing the mentality of raising thieves, hoping to take more benefits from Disney in the future.

Therefore, the cooperation between the two companies is really a win-win cooperation.
