Chapter 74 Animation Studio
In the fitness room of the villa, Ryan ended his routine exercise. He was naked and standing opposite George. Recently, he has been learning some simple self-defense techniques from George.
Ryan moved, like a cheetah that was still underage, and rushed towards George. George turned around and let his slam, grabbed the boy's arm, threw him on a standard big back, and threw him onto a thick sponge mat.
"Come again!" Ryan stood up with a carp, with a faint abdominal muscles appearing in his lower abdomen, and was obviously changing to a handsome man.
"Okay, Ryan." George stopped him and persuaded, "Your body is developing, and there is no benefit to exercise too much."
"Okay then." He had no choice but to put away his fists and sway towards the locker room.
The reason why he learned self-defense was not to want to kill all sides in the future. He just wanted to be more confident of running away when encountering danger and clashing with paparazzi fans. There is no harm in being flexible, right? Besides, some of the films he plans to star in the future also require such skills.
Besides, what he learned from George was nothing but some self-defense skills taught in the Marine Corps.
After taking a shower and changing into dry clothes, Ryan arrived at the door of the villa. George had already driven here. The place they were going to today was Disney.
Ryan had already asked Kingsley to hand over the script of "The Lion King" to Disney, which also included a stack of setting drawings and music scores. Under his instructions, Kingsley offered a sky-high contract during the negotiations.
Animation production is the foundation of Disney, and even if Ryan wants to invest in it, they will not allow others to get into the game where they are best at it.
Ryan simply offered a sky-high price, and he wanted 10% of the share of "The Lion King". This is not the share of the box office in North America, but the share of all the revenue generated by "The Lion King", including box office, peripherals, authorization, videotapes, and soundtracks, etc., which can be said to be a big talk in the Lion.
Think about it, the box office of this movie in his previous life was close to $800 million, and the original soundtrack was so popular, second only to "Body Guard", as well as various dolls, comics, animation dramas, cultural shirts, etc.
Later, the movie was moved to the Broadway stage, causing a huge sensation.
After all, the benefits that the Lion King can generate are definitely astronomical.
Disney naturally would not agree, but they knew that Ryan was asking for a huge price, so they should pay it back locally.
The two sides talked for a full half month, and finally, with the intervention of Michael Eisner, both sides took a step back. Ryan only took five percent of the share, but after the voice change period ended, he would sing "Love Infinite Tonight" or another song, and dubbed an important role in the film according to the conditions.
Audi 90 sedan quickly arrived in Burbank. After saying hello to the front desk, Ryan went straight to the animation studio. He came here today to discuss with the hand-painters how to improve the image of animal characters.
Although he drew more than a dozen main characters, his painting skills were limited after all, and it was impossible for colored pencil sketches to fully reflect the appearance of these characters. He signed that agreement, not only could he wait to get money, but he had to fulfill his obligations while obtaining profits.
But before he entered the hall of the animation studio, he heard the crowds of people inside, which seemed very lively. He hurried in a few steps and looked up, and was so scared that he took three steps back.
George kept following him, thinking that something unexpected happened, and while blocking Ryan, his hands subconsciously touched the suit.
"It's okay!" Ryan calmed down. Disney's hand-painted artists were all a group of lunatics. If it weren't for the rise of 3D computer animation, 2D animation wouldn't have gradually declined with them.
Unfortunately, Pixar's technology is changing with each passing day...
Ryan shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. After all, technological progress cannot be stopped by anyone.
As for what was in the hall, it would scare him, the brave guy, backed up. It was very simple. There was a real adult lion and a young lion inside, not the kind who was locked in an iron cage.
Of course, the two lions were separated by a considerable distance, and the one guarding next to them seemed to be a trainer.
Even though they have iron chains on their necks, they look very tame, but they know when they will become very beastly.
The lion seemed to feel someone joining the observer again, and suddenly shook his head and shook his long hair. His majestic appearance was indeed very swaying like a king of beasts. Then he looked at the position where Ryan stood.
“Wow~”
The dull lion roar sounded, causing Ryan to have an unstoppable toothache. Disney was too crazy.
However, the little lion seemed very good, and looked a bit like a bigger cat. He looked cute and cute. If he looked more cartoonish, he would have a little bit of Simba's style when he was young.
"That... George, how about we keep a little lion in the villa?" Ryan was obviously thinking too much.
"Ryan, are you sure Miss Kidman will agree?" George gave up his unscrupulous thoughts with one sentence.
Ryan scratched his head and thought to himself that when he had money, he would go to the Caribbean to buy an island, and then he would not only raise lions, but also tigers... Well, he would get a few more jackals and cheetahs to fight for life and death on the island, and a live-and-death version of the Hunger Games...
"Hi, Ryan." Don Hahn, the executive producer of the film, came over and interrupted his reverie.
"Hello, Don." Ryan greeted him, pointing at the lion and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"The studio specially hired lions from the circus." Don Hahn seemed to have been used to this kind of scene, "Look for inspiration for the artist, do you want to go over and take a look."
Only after death did he know his fate. After rebirth, Ryan hid as far as he could in any dangerous activities. He waved his hand and said, "Just look from afar."
He looked around and found that many painters were standing around with easels, and what they just heard was their discussion.
Ryan knew very well that this industry is an industry that requires imagination and the easier the working atmosphere, the better.
"Ryan, are you interested in going to Africa?" Don Hahn joked that the crew will soon go to Africa to collect folk songs and will probably stay there for a while.
"Forget it, I still have to go to school."
Ryan shook his head hurriedly. In his eyes, Africa is synonymous with disease, chaos and war, so he didn't want to go to that place.
It has to be said that these painters have a strong professional spirit. They not only patiently observed every move of the lion, but also had a few bold people, but also took the initiative to walk over and had close communication with the lion accompanied by the trainer.
Ryan asked himself that there was no such dedication, as he often discussed with Natalie, art in his eyes serves more money and honor.
Perhaps no one understands this story more thoroughly than him, and no one knows the character of the character better than him, but after borrowing the setting drafts he drew, these hand-painters made sure that they had images of Mushafa, Simba, Nana, Scar and Sanqi were not long before.
In Ryan's eyes, these characters are at least 90% similar to their previous lives, which is enough for animated movies.
For hand-drawn animation, determining the character image and habitual action can greatly speed up the progress. Disney spent a lot of time alone in determining the animal image in the previous life. Out of confidence in Ryan, with the strong intervention of Michael Eisner, the animation department suspended other projects and devoted most of its strength to "The Lion King".
However, Disney's daring to suspend several projects such as "Aladdin" and put all the artists into "The Lion King", which shows that his gold sign is gradually shining and can affect large film companies.
This is a good thing, isn't it?
Ryan's efforts have always been to establish a loose interest alliance, tie more forces to his interest chariot, lay the foundation for his future development and use his own influence as much as possible to protect the people he wants to protect at this stage when his own strength is still weak.
In the new semester, Ryan officially entered his fifth grade study career. Speaking of which, he is the oldest in the grade. Most elementary school students in the United States start their primary school career at the age of six. Because of his past experience, he entered the primary school in London at the age of seven.
Natalie is one year younger than Ryan, but she is the same first grade as him, which is what she often laughs at him. Fortunately, all his grades have been A so far, which makes her unable to catch any excuses in this regard.
In school, Ryan was given almost all the rest of his time. He had to get out of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" as soon as possible. The publisher's call for updates was almost blown up Ms. Jinslie's handheld.
Nowadays, he has achieved his current achievements, in addition to the accumulation of his previous life and his talent in this life, hard work is also an important factor. Since setting his goal, Ryan has hardly given himself time to play except for occasional relaxation.
Ryan also knew that after he finished writing, the publisher would also have to review the typesettings, hype and publicity, arrange publishing and entering sales channels, etc., which really took time.
As he became famous, all his works were published by "Alien" Publishing House, this small publishing house, which is under the name of "Alien" magazine, has increased its market value dramatically. It is said that publishing giants such as Paper Books, Random House, and Hill Group have set their sights on it and are likely to start an acquisition war.
Those large publishers have done Ryan's job and wanted him to switch to their name, but Ryan knew very well that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. He is the author of the largest brand of "Alien" and they will tilt all their resources towards him, not to mention that the contracts and royalties are now at the top of the industry.
Even if they switch to their own business, will they share more royalties? Besides, "Alien" has always done a great job in hype and publicity, otherwise it would not have been sold today.
In short, no matter how the outside world is disturbed, Ryan hid in the campus and villa, and began a short life of turning a blind eye to the outside world and only writing magic books.
