Chapter 117 Hand-drawn animation and computer animation

After a few busy months, Ryan ushered in a rare leisure time, home, school, and record company, and he felt a little like when he lived in junior high school in his previous life. However, he, a student, is still not doing his job properly.

Because of the relationship between "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" at the same time, the script of "Scream" is nowhere to be completed. There are too many criticisms in this movie in the previous life. Ryan must not have surgery on some places while retaining the main plot.

Fortunately, over the past few years, he has been familiar with Hollywood's techniques. Although it has been a little troublesome, it will not suddenly get stuck.

As for Drew Barrymore, after calling several times, she was not anxious. Anyway, Ryan is famous for his words and letters in Hollywood, and there is not much difference between a few months earlier and a few months later. Moreover, she took on a new drama - "The Tide of Desire".

This is nothing. What surprised Ryan was that Drew appeared on the cover of the latest issue of "Evaluation" magazine, still in a naked manner.

OK! Being good at the top is the most commonly used hype method for female stars in the entertainment industry, not to mention a most open-minded girl like Drew Barrymore.

I don’t know if this guy’s head is in the air or intentionally, so he calls him out to play from time to time, but Ryan rejects them all.

What a joke, Ryan Jenkins and Drew Barrymore have a chance. The news of a sibling relationship may appear in the tabloids from time to time. If she is caught by a paparazzi with her, it will be really hard to explain.

Besides, Drew always spoke some explicit language and made some provocative actions. Ryan was also a little afraid that his young and restless heart would not be able to withstand too many ***.

If something goes too far, Drew's character will probably be publicized to the whole world...

In addition to unfinished scripts and novels, Ryan also goes to a record company every day or two. Music is different from acting skills. If he doesn't practice for a period of time, he will be proficient in his singing style and the use of instruments. Even if he is indeed outstanding in music, hard work is still a must.

However, the current record company not only signed several other singers, but also added a group of chattering peers, many of whom can be regarded as his fans.

Whenever he practices, the little guys from Mickey Mouse Club always come over with various excuses, sign and ask for advice and study.

After a while, Ryan also observed strange situations in Mickey Mouse Club. For example, Justin Dingblake and Ryan Gosling always got together, and it was almost time to wear a pair of pants, while Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson became good sisters and often had a big fuss with the previous pair.

It's really interesting! Ryan later felt that when Boss Jia and Boss Gao grew up, they seemed to be handsome guys. I remember that in the past life, Boss Jia made Britney's mess with each other, which made people see Xiao Tiantian's emotional intelligence that was infinitely close to zero.

However, isn’t it too boring to develop in the past life? How about a handsome beard like Boss Jia and a young man like Boss Gao, who will perform a real version of Brokeback Mountain? I believe it will definitely cause countless female screams.

Well, it seems like this is a good idea?

There is no doubt that as he grows older, Ryan's personality becomes more and more unscrupulous. If someone asks questions, he will definitely make a clear distinction. These two guys have harmed many young Hollywood women in their previous lives. I am launching a big rescue in advance.

In Disney Animation Studio, a small projector is working silently. On the silver-white screen, the trial clip of "The Lion King" was shown. It was only a few minutes, without soundtrack and dubbing, and the effect of the picture was a bit rough, but whether it was Simba or Nana in childhood, she could already show her style vividly.

These 2D hand-painted masters are indeed extraordinary. Ryan sighs in this regard. After the screening of more than five minutes, he applauded first.

Even though the animal image and subtle plot has changed a little compared to the previous life, it is still like all the animations produced by Disney, and it is a fine product. If dubbing and songs are added, Ryan believes that this will still be the pinnacle of 2D animation.

Whether it is producer Don Hahn, or the two directors Roger Elles and Rob Minkoff, they are also full of confidence in this. They all believe that after the release of this animated film, the glory of Disney's hand-painted animation will be reproduced.

Brilliantness is certain, but decline is inevitable.

Ryan is hard to say. 3D computer animation has appeared a long time ago, but unfortunately no one pays attention to it. Even Steve Jobs, the owner of Pixar, is also pessimistic about the future of 3D animation in private.

Pixar's losses in the past two years are said to be around tens of millions of dollars. With Jobs' current wealth, he is almost bleeding. Ryan has also heard that he sells Pixar everywhere, but the entire industry is skeptical about the prospects of 3D animation. Only his old rival Microsoft has offered a purchase price of 30 million US dollars.

Unfortunately, Jobs asked for a price of around 50 million US dollars, and it is said that the two sides have collapsed.

Ryan knew very well that if according to normal historical development, Steve Jobs would look for a next home for Pixar almost every year, but he kept in his hands. In the end, he had to grit his teeth and persevere, and finally got the success of "Toy Story" and Pixar's billion-dollar net worth after its launch, and used this as a springboard to return to Apple.

The opportunity I had been waiting for was coming! Ryan said in his heart.

"Tang, very outstanding, even better than what I imagined in my mind."

Walking out of the closed meeting room, Ryan smiled and said to the producer, "This is not a compliment."

"At the earliest, we have to wait next year, and we will put all our strength into place." Don Hahn made a gesture you understand, "The studio has mobilized almost all the artists and is working overtime to produce."

The production of animated movies is far more troublesome than live-action movies, but as long as they succeed, the benefits can be several streets higher than live-action movies. Ryan heard that in order to ensure the progress of "The Lion King", the animation studio temporarily ran apart all other plans.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the movie to sell out." Ryan was about to say goodbye.

"Wait, Ryan." Don Hahn called him, "Don't forget, the movie still needs your voice."

This is the key. Now no one knows the name Ryan Jenkins, which has begun to become a box office guarantee, and not to mention that the two parties have signed a contract.

"No problem." Ryan naturally didn't think about breaking the appointment, "Which character?"

"How is Simba? You are dubbing both in childhood and adulthood. I think with your ability to change your singing style and tone, coupled with our post-processing, there should be no problem, right?" Don Hahn obviously had already thought about it.

You guys really know how to save money! Ryan muttered, "Forget it in adulthood, Don."

"Then... OK!" Disney wanted nothing more than the promotional shushing, but Don Hahn didn't want to let him go, "The theme song of the movie, "Love Infinite Tonight"!"

"Wait, Don." Ryan's eyes rolled, "I think it's best for Elton John to sing this song."

"Elton John? Who is that?" Don Hahn looked confused, and seemed to have never heard of the name.

Impossible? Elton John was the original singer of this song and a superstar in the pop music industry. Although he is still a little far from Michael Jackson, he is also a well-deserved king.

Ryan walked out of Disney with a helpless look on his face. It was so strange. There was no famous singer called Elton John in this world. If he became famous after 1980, he could be said to be influenced by his butterfly wings. The problem is that the other party should have become a superstar in the 1970s. What's going on?

If you can't figure it out, don't think about things. Anyway, since he appears in this world, I don't know how many people have changed their destiny.

On the way home, Ryan specifically asked George to drive past a famous record store. After dressing up in a hat and sunglasses, he walked into the record store and found the shelves of rock and nostalgia. He churned back and forth several times, swept around other shelves, and later asked George to ask several older music fans.

Their answer is very consistent, there is no rock star in this world called Elton John.

Well, it shouldn't be my business! Ryan sat back in the car and shrugged, and along the way, he recalled the specific situation of the disappearing superstar, who was a 1969-year-old and one of the greatest rock singers in the 1970s, which should have nothing to do with his rebirth.

It seems that there have been some changes in this world that he didn't know! Ryan sighed, fortunately, the general direction is still rolling forward according to the trajectory of his previous life, and the direct changes brought by him are basically in sight.

For example, Spielberg and Schindler's List, a movie that started filming a year earlier than its previous life, has officially announced that it will be closed after entering late May.

Spielberg took 71 days to shoot in his previous life. In this life, many of the sets were built while shooting, which took longer, but after more than 80 days, all the shots were finally completed.

Ryan was relieved to hear the news. Spielberg made a promise and after the filming was completed, he temporarily handed over the post-production work to his assistant. After returning to Los Angeles for a few days, he flew to Hawaii with Nicole Kidman, Sam Neal and others.

Katherine Kennedy and George Lucas led the early team to rent an island there. After a long period of preliminary preparations, "Jurassic Park" can be started at any time, just waiting for Spielberg and the actors to be in place.

When Nicole Kidman called back, he said that Industrial Light and Magic had created lifelike models of Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops and Velociraptors, which looked as amazing as real from a distance.
