In the animation studio of Shahai Entertainment, Chris Reynold accompanied Ronan among computers. The employees in their twenties and thirties were sitting in front of the computers, busy with their respective work.

Ronan has also roughly learned about some computer animation production processes these days, and knows that these people are rendering for Peppa Pig.

After leaving the studio and entering an independent office, Chris Reynold told Ronan: "There are 45 new recruits, all of whom have more than one year of relevant experience. They have begun to participate in the "Peppa Pig" project."

Ronan sat on a sofa and said, "The staff continues to expand, and I require the studio to have the ability to start two animated feature films at the same time in the future."

Chris Reynold could hear Ronan's ambition and said: "We will recruit for a long time and eliminate those who are not qualified."

"You should take good control in this regard," said Ronan.

After all, commercial companies are not places to keep idle people. Appropriate supplementation of fresh blood instead of aging personnel can maintain the vitality of the entire company.

In some ways, this seems a bit ruthless, but if the company operates too much, the company will not be far from death.

Chris Reynold said: "It is not difficult to find someone at this stage. Since the rise of Pixar Studios, major film companies have focused on computer animation feature films and have set up their own animation production departments. However, in addition to Pixar, DreamWorks and Blue Sky, other animation studios have failed without exception. Like the previous Fox animation, the dismissal of personnel is happening on a large scale."

Luo Nan sighed lightly and said, "Any industry development and growth will take a process, and there will inevitably be people who fall on the road."

Chris Reynold said with a smile: "I have fallen once and don't want to experience it again."

To be honest, he cherished the second chance given by Relativity Entertainment and Ronan very much.

He fell down in the animated feature film and wanted to stand up again in the animated feature film.

Chris Reynold asked again: "Peppa Pig is a work of practicing. After the short film is produced, it will be left to one team for responsibility. Other teams cannot be idle. Can we plan a long film?"

Ronan did not expect that Chris Reynold and others were full of work enthusiasm and worked overtime to create a short film sample of "Peppa Pig", which was far faster than he expected.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to see through the psychology of these people. A group of losers who were swept out by the 20th Century Fox urgently wanted to prove their abilities.

This is to prove yourself to the new company and to show it to the old company.

Ronan feels that if this enthusiasm for work is too radical, it may lead to some bad results, but it cannot be suppressed. It is necessary to give a channel to devote enthusiasm.

"Peppa Pig" alone is obviously not enough.

Ronan thought for a little while and said, "In the past two months, you have done your best to complete the animated short film of Peppa Pig. I already have a movie idea." He reminded: "Chris, you can control the pace of your work. I will come up with a preliminary animated feature film plan as soon as possible, but it will still start with a short film."

Chris Reynold is a smart person. With just a little reminder, he understood what Ronan was saying and immediately said: "I know, I will remind the employees below."

Ronan exclaimed: "I believe in your strength."

After leaving the animation studio, Ronan found George Clint and talked about production issues. At present, George Clint is responsible for the specific production work of Shahai Entertainment. After the experience of several crews, especially the field work experience of the two crews "Spy Shadows" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", George Clint's ability has been significantly improved, enough to deal with most of the crew's affairs.

If you want to talk about how outstanding George Clint is and how talented he is, it may not be possible. At most, it is at the upper and middle level in Hollywood. However, George Clint has accumulated enough experience at Nian R&F and encountered the best opportunity, and then played out his own abilities, gradually growing from the head of a department of a small company to the executive president of a medium-sized production company.

The film industry is very talented, but there are too many people who have talent but no chance.

"By the way, Ronan." George Clint said: "Gilmo del Toro said some time ago that he was planning a new project. After "The God of Death 2" was released, I want to talk to you about the new project."

Ronan said: "The Deadly Behind 2 is still waiting for him as the director."

Gilmore Del Toro signed a director contract for three movies at once. "The God of Death is Coming 2" because James Huang quit to direct "The God of Death", Ronan had to direct Gilmore Del Torora "The God of Death is Coming 2".

George Clint said: "He is ready to direct "The Deadly Bend 2" and the new project comes after "The Deadly Bend 2."

Ronan nodded: "I will contact him, I guess he doesn't have time before the movie is released."

"The God of Death is Coming 2" is about to be released, and Gilmore Del Toro is running around the United States with the main creators of the crew.

George Clint reminded: "Gilmo del Toro will direct "The Deadly Behind 2", "The Death is Coming 3" will be replaced again."

"What do you think?" Ronan asked directly.

George Clint obviously had an idea and said, "It's better to invite James Huang back, as it will be a big publicity stunt at that time. Moreover, "The Ending Warrant for the Universe" is far from Sony Columbia's expectations, and James Huang's director's pay will not be much higher than when he directed the first part."

In Hollywood, the director's pay is directly linked to the box office results of the two recent films. "The Ending Warrant for the Universe" can be said to be a hit on James Huang's previous rising directorial career.

The production cost of this film is as high as US$50 million, and with investment in publicity and distribution, it is expected to cost more than US$70 million, but the global box office of the film is only more than US$72 million.

It can be imagined that this film will not be able to make a profit in a short period of time.

It was not only James Huang, but also Jet Lee. Before "The Ending Warrant for the Universe", Jet Lee remained firmly in the second line of Hollywood, which can be said to be the key to Jet Lee's rushing to the first line.

"The Ending Warrant for the Universe" did not meet expectations, seriously affecting Jeter Lee's increase in his pay and status in Hollywood, and even cut off his hopes for a ray of hope.

"The Cosmic Hunt" has a relatively large investment, but its returns are not as good as "The Deadly Romeo" and "The Kiss of the Dragon".

As for James Huang, the failure of his transformation will also have an impact on him in all aspects.

Ronan thought for a while and said, "Just do what you said and find an opportunity. We will contact James Huang separately. No matter what, we are all our old friends. When it's time to pull him."

I hope James Huang will be more calm for a few years and stop doing "Dragon Ball".

George Clint said: "I have sent an invitation to James Huang to attend the premiere of "The God of Death 2".

Ronan nodded and said one of the rare old friends who started their business together back then, if you can, please help me.”

This is also a matter of mutual benefit.

It wasn't until after work that Ronan left Sands and Sea Entertainment and returned directly to Beverly Hills.

After Ronan took a simple wash, the housekeeper Nikia came over and said, "Mr. Cruise sent someone a batch of red wine and champagne from France, and I have someone put it in the wine cellar."

"I understand." Ronan had received a call from Tom Cruise before, thought for a while, and said, "You go to buy the best Cuban cigars yourself, contact Tom's housekeeper, and send them to Tom's house."

He then added: "Purchase two copies, and Will Smith also send one."

Unlike Ronan, Tom Cruise and Will Smith both smoke cigars.

"Okay." Nikia wrote it down.

After dinner, Luo Nan came to the study room, read the book first, and then completed the final work of setting the TV script, and stored it on USB flash drive. He planned to directly transfer Connie to Shahai Entertainment Screenwriter's Department tomorrow.

Just like producers like Jerry Brookheimer who initiates film projects with creativity, Ronan only needs to provide ideas and skeletons, and the remaining work will naturally be completed by a flowing team.

Instead of going to rest, Ronan was preparing to start making the basic settings of the animated feature film.

He took the manuscript paper and directly used a carbon pen to draw an oval shape similar to a capsule version on it. Then he added tiny limbs and corresponding facial features, and finally a large glasses with a particularly prominent appearance.

Although the painting level is very average, the construction of the Minions is very simple.

That's right, there must be a minor in the character in this animated feature film.

Since Shahai Entertainment's animation studio was separated from the Twentieth Century Fox Animation Department, the first animated feature that Ronan thought of was of course the movie "Despicable Me".

Dongfang's translation is called "Despicable".

This can also be said to be an animated feature film with a much better supporting role than the protagonist. The one who impressed people with the most profound impression of "The Despicable Me" is undoubtedly the Minions.

Even after the Minions became a movie independently, their popularity exceeded that of "Despicable Me" with the male lead Gru.

Ronan plans to wait until most of the animation studios leave the Peppa Pig project and move to the production of real animated feature films, but before the "Despicable Me" project begins, a short film of Minions will be produced.

Moreover, the short film must determine some styles of future animation feature films.

Nowadays, Pixar Studio’s films are selling truth, goodness and beauty, DreamWorks Animation Studio never looks back on the road to anti-classics, and Blue Sky Studio has not yet established its own style.
