Best of Hollywood

"This is a masterpiece, a masterpiece of 3D animation. It is very remarkable. No one would have thought that with the maturity of 3D animation technology, it would change the entire animation industry, and even change Hollywood."

When they walked out of the theater, Ryan, Chris Wedge and his group happened to meet a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily.

Chris Wedge had no choice but to stop and said a few words casually, "Obviously John Lasseter has combined 3D animation technology with Disney's long-standing philosophy to create a new era, which belongs to the era of 3D animation. "

"Even, I didn't expect John Lasseter to really do this." Chris Wedge said very sincerely.

The Los Angeles Daily reporter obviously didn't want to hear these words of praise, and immediately asked very sharp questions.

"Mr. Chris, do you think Blue Sky Studios is behind the times?"

Hearing this, Chris Wedge did not immediately refute, but turned around and glanced at Ryan, saw him nodding slightly, took a deep breath, and said: "Blue Sky Studio will never lag behind the times, It wasn’t before, and it won’t be now.”

Before the reporter continued to ask questions, he spoke again: "Last year, Blue Sky Studios received a considerable amount of investment to produce a 3D animated short film "Bonnie Rabbit", which will be broadcast on Fox TV."

3D animated short film?

It's 3D animation technology again!

The boss of the Los Angeles Daily reporter stared, and couldn't even believe it. Looking at Chris Wedge in front of him, a few words of exclusive news emerged in his mind.

Chris Wedge did not let him down, and continued: "I can make it very clear that Blue Sky Studios has started to produce a 3D animation feature film, which is expected to take 3 to 5 years, with an investment of more than 30 million U.S. dollars. .”

All of a sudden, he was completely stunned. This is not a 3D animation short film, but a 3D animation feature film. Blue Sky Studio has already begun preparations for the production of a 3D animation feature film.

"Mr. Chris, did Blue Sky Studio get investment from Disney? Or other Hollywood film companies!" A reporter from the New York Daily quickly asked a question.

Able to spend tens of millions of dollars to invest in Blue Sky Studios, and has already started to produce 3D animation feature films, even if you look at the entire Hollywood, there are only a few film companies that have this capability.

However,

What surprised him was that Chris Wedge said an unexpected name, "Ryan Studios had already bought the majority of shares in Blue Sky Studios last year and decided to make a 3D animated feature film .”

Ryan Studios?

It's Ryan Gosling!

The creator of the "Chain Saw" series, Ryan Gosling!

The Los Angeles Daily reporter was so excited that he jumped up, kissed Chris Wedge hard, and immediately turned to point the microphone at Ryan.

However, Ryan didn't make him interested in asking questions, and said directly: "Blue Sky Studio will officially announce all the news in a few days." After speaking, Ryan walked into the extended Lincoln first.

The reporter of the Los Angeles Daily, not only was not disappointed, but went crazy with excitement. Ryan Gosling did not deny the purchase of Blue Sky Studios and the investment in the production of 3D animated feature films. That is to say, what Chris Wedge said just now is real.

"Ryan Gosling, the founder of the "Saw" series, spent huge sums of money to buy Blue Sky Studios, and is working on a 3D animation feature film, with an estimated investment of more than 30 million US dollars."

He read it in a low voice, and immediately took out his phone and dialed a number without thinking about interviewing Tom Hanks and the "Toy Story" team.

"Alan, save me the headlines from tomorrow."

"what?"

"No, no, it's not Tom Hanks, it has nothing to do with Toy Story, it's Ryan Gosling, that lucky guy who invested in Chris Wedge's Blue Sky Studios last year..."

Back in Lincoln, Ryan poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Chris Wedge, saying, "When the first weekend box office of "Toy Story" comes out, we can take the opportunity to hold a press conference and announce the production of a 3D animated feature film." news."

"I hope John doesn't mind." Chris Wedge took the glass and smiled.

It takes a little bit of rubbing to get the popularity, and you can't announce all of them at once.

Moreover, it is expected that the box office of "Toy Story" in the first weekend will be a shocking number. At this time, the news that Blue Sky Studio will produce a 3D animation feature film can achieve the greatest effect.

At the same time, there is another advantage. The release date of "The Truman Show" has been set, and it will be officially released on December 22. You can use this opportunity to hype and publicize it in advance.

Anyway, both things are related to Ryan.

As for Paramount's concerns, the film will collide with "Cut Throat Island" and affect the premiere box office.

Ryan laughed directly.

"Cutthroat Island"?

He didn't even bother to pay attention to one of the most blockbuster films ever made in Hollywood.

"As long as the box office data of "Toy Story" meets expectations, we can completely copy Pixar Animation Studio's plan." Ryan did not specify what to copy.

But Chris Wedge was shocked, the plan of Pixar Animation Studios?

In fact, the plan of Pixar Animation Studios is very simple. With the release of "Toy Story", Pixar Animation Studios will also be listed soon. It can be said that the two are almost at the same time.

It can be predicted that as long as "Toy Story" sells well at the box office, the stock price of Pixar Animation Studios will surely rise accordingly.

"I totally agree." Chris Wedge couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

"Helen, ask 20th Century Fox or Paramount to help you pay attention to the release data of "Toy Story"." Ryan said to Helen.

With the news of investing in Blue Sky Studios and producing 3D animated feature films, it seems likely that the two will not refuse Ryan's request.

What's more, for 20th Century Fox and Paramount, it was just a trivial matter.

Even without Ryan's request, they would pay attention to the release data of "Toy Story" to make adjustments to the 3D animation technology.

In the previous life, 20th Century Fox and Paramount reached cooperation agreements with Blue Sky Studios and DreamWorks Animation Studios respectively.

"I will contact Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount." Helen said with a trace of hesitation on her face, "If they mentioned Blue Sky Studios and 3D animated feature films...?"

Whether it is participating in investment or becoming a film distributor in the future, 20th Century Fox and Paramount are good choices right now.

"Procrastinate first." Ryan thought about it, and said: "The production of a 3D animated feature film will take at least three years, so there is no need to rush to find a distributor for now."

At least three years or more, during which anything may happen, so it is not a good thing to determine the distributor of the film now.

Chris Wedge opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end. As Ryan said, it will take at least three years for Blue Sky Studios to produce a 3D animated feature film, and there is no need to rush to find a film distributor for the time being.
