Chapter 198 Animation 3 Giants (1)
The Malibu Shore Club is part of the Soho Pavilion. It is located in this vibrant Malibu community surrounded by beaches. It is full of sunshine, where you can eat, party, entertain and relax, and you can overlook the Pacific Ocean, with floor-to-ceiling windows and retractable 'doors'. Let the ocean in the distance become a unique background in the club window. --
There is a bar, a sun terrace and a living room in the club. In addition, there is an art gallery in the bar room. The club holds many attractive activities from time to time, such as talks, walking, creation workshops and yoga.
Not only that, but here you can also taste delicious California-style delicacies made from fresh ingredients provided by local farms, and there are not so many restrictions on joining the club. You can directly "spend" money to buy membership to enjoy the best service.
"You bastard, you have to pay me back." Yang Cheng shouted loudly, not caring about the guests arriving at the door.
David Ellison turned his head sideways, glanced at Yang Cheng's car, showed a 'show' smile, raised his middle finger and replied, "Who told you to pretend to be 13, you deserve it."
"Damn, can't you choose a closer place?" Yang Cheng punched Ellison and said angrily.
"It's not my fault. Jeffrey and his family are on vacation in Malibu, so of course we have to accommodate him." David Ellison spread his hands, with an expression that had nothing to do with me, making Yang Cheng's teeth itch with hatred.
"Even if you have a reason, don't you want to look good to William IV? Why is there no movement?"
The two walked into the club side by side, and went straight to the second floor amidst the welcome of the waiter. Yang Cheng asked which pot was not open and which pot to lift.
"Of course, I never break my promise. Don't you think it's been quieter recently?" David Ellison said rather mysteriously.
Yang Cheng was stunned, "You mean?"
Ellison didn't hold back any more, leaned close to Yang Cheng's ear and answered, "Hey, I sorted out what that guy did into data and sent it to his dying father anonymously. Now that guy You should stay in confinement at home honestly!"
Hearing this, Yang Cheng rolled his eyes over him, and David Ellison is just as promising. We all know that William III is going to die, and he is still so angry at him. It really kills the anger. Isn't that William IV lawless? up?
I didn't bother to care about these bastards, and asked instead, "Is Jeffrey here?"
"It's early. Their family came in the morning. They should be playing in the swimming pool with their grandchildren." David Ellison led Yang Cheng to the restaurant, and he had already reserved a table in advance.
Before their butts were hot, Jeffrey Katzenberg, dressed in cool clothes, came over with his family,
The iconic bald head and rimless glasses made him look nothing like he was in his 60s.
Jeffery is followed by his wife and his son and daughter family, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren enjoy themselves happily.
"David, Jason, I kept you waiting for so long." Jeffrey reached out first to shake hands with Yang Cheng and said apologetically.
Yang Cheng glanced at David Ellison, seeing that he didn't intend to answer, so he had to say politely, "Don't talk about Jeffrey like that, I just arrived too, in fact, to disturb your family's vacation time, I should say An apology is."
David Ellison nodded his head cooperatively.
"No, no, I suggested this to David. The children have long been used to me as a workaholic." Jeffrey laughed at himself, and turned to introduce his family to Yang Cheng.
After saying hello one by one, I sat on both sides of the long table. The table is big enough to accommodate 10 people without any problem.
The dishes have been pre-ordered in advance, eliminating the hassle of ordering. Taking advantage of the gap before serving, Jeffrey Katzenberg took the initiative to provoke the topic, "Jason, about DreamWorks Animation, Pixar Studios and Disney Three What do you think about the competition among players?"
Yang Cheng's thoughts sank, and he secretly thought that the school exam was coming.
As one of the founders of DreamWorks, he later split DreamWorks Animation and Film Studios. He chose to stay in the animation department, which shows what kind of affection and obsession he has for the company he built. Now he If you want to sell, this is the same as marrying a daughter. Who doesn't want to choose a good husband's family for their daughter.
Well, before Yang Cheng came here, he had done his homework and studied the complex relationship between the Hollywood giants. After taking a sip of water, he put on a confident smile and began to express his views, "Let's talk about the characteristics of these three companies first. In my opinion Disney is obsessed with reshaping old classics; while Pixar is always creating new classics; as for DreamWorks, it is funny and anti-classic.”
Yang Cheng's summary not only made Jeffrey's eyes shine, but also aroused the curiosity of the previously indifferent Katzenberg family, especially Yang Cheng, a Chinese who created huge wealth at a young age, is more likely to Arouse the interest of others, and want to see what different and novel points of view he has.
"Can you tell me in detail?" Jeffrey raised his hand and pushed the mirror frame, with the light of wisdom shining in his eyes.
"A large part of Disney's successful animation is adapted from classic fairy tales: "Beauty and the Beast", "Peter Pan", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", etc., and even "Flower" "Mulan" and "Tarzan of the Apes" are actually derived from myths or legends from all over the world.
And Disney is very good at giving new life to these classic stories. They have long adhered to and insisted on the concepts of dream chasing, family, prince and princess, adventure and friendship, etc., which are biased towards the mainstream values of American society. With a new look, even the so-called new characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are essentially connected in one vein.
And Disney is particularly good at combining animation images with their business operations. Additional operations such as theme parks and peripheral products are the fundamental reasons for Disney's growing growth. Of course, a large part of the credit for this is Jeffrey. . "
Yang Cheng calmly offered a flattery, which made Katzenberg's family all proud, and won a friendship ticket for Yang Cheng. If Jeffrey asked his family for their opinions, Presumably they will be on Yang Cheng's side.
Jeffery didn't respond. He lived most of his life and never heard anything. He easily saw through Yang Cheng's little trick, but he didn't refute it. He just nodded Yang Cheng in vain, and continued.
"Besides, Pixar, the characters and stories in each of their works are brand-new creations, and it is almost impossible to find shadows from previous themes. From the first animation "Toy Story", Pixar has started their future. The long journey of anthropomorphism of various characters has come all the way, from toys, to insects, monsters, underwater creatures, and in recent years, mice, robots, cars and so on.
When these non-human protagonists are endowed with human characters and qualities, they even show a more beautiful humanity than most humans, and therefore, the sincerity experienced in Pixar animations The emotions and resonance of Pixar are more pure and sincere, and it is easier to 'stimulate' the resonance of adults, so in recent years, the animated films produced by Pixar are particularly suitable for all ages.
