430 Versatile
The bright sun hung in the sky and gradually turned to the south. A black Bentley car turned on Wilshire Street and slowly stopped at the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel.
David parked the car and looked at the rearview mirror. The girl in the back seat was drowsy and seemed to have not had a good rest last night.
"Miss Lavini." He reminded softly: "The Four Seasons Hotel is here."
Avril woke up from sleepiness, rubbed his eyes, looked out of the car window, and said, "Okay, thank you."
I opened the car door and jumped down. As soon as my feet touched the ground, a faint pain made her frown slightly, twisted her slightly sore waist, and walked towards the main entrance of the hotel.
David watched Avril Lavini enter the hotel and then started the car and left.
"Another female star has fallen." David murmured to himself: "The boss is so happy. First he was a supermodel, then a celebrity actor, and now he has a singer..."
But this little girl looks young, I don’t know if she is 18 years old.
David shook his head and didn't think about it anymore. After seeing such things for too many times, he became accustomed to them.
As soon as Avril entered the hotel lobby, someone hurriedly walked towards him.
The agent stopped Avril and asked, "Avril! Where did you go last night?"
Avril yawned and said indifferently: "Go to my friend's place."
"What friend?" The agent pulled him toward the resting place: "I've been there for one night?"
Avril reminded: "Slow down! Slow down! I'm not very comfortable."
When he arrived at the resting place where almost no one was present, the agent looked Avril up and down. The smoked makeup was gone, and the clothes seemed different from when he sent her to the banquet yesterday. He didn't seem to be in good spirits, just like he stayed up all night last night.
The agent frowned: "Where did you go last night? I didn't answer the phone if I called you."
Avril waved his hand: "I went to my friend's place and had a drink all night."
The agent asked again: "What friend? Male and female?"
"Male." Avril said patiently: "My friend I met very early, don't worry, am I back now?"
Although Ronan changed the car to Burbank halfway because of an urgent matter in the company and did not take her back in person, Avril found it interesting last night and had a very happy time.
I was very excited to drink, and wine is such a good thing.
What did the agent mean and said solemnly: "Ivy! You are only eighteen years old, this kind of thing..."
"Okay!" Avril was finally annoyed and said, "I know what I'm doing, ok?"
Although she took off her smoky makeup, she was still a punk witch: "I am an adult, I know what I am doing, and I will be responsible for what I do."
The agent is still worried: "Ivy..."
Avril said directly: "I'm not a child anymore! That's it. I'm sleepy and I have to go back to my room to get some sleep."
After saying that, he no longer cared about the agent's ugly face, left the resting place and entered the elevator.
The agent wanted to follow, but after thinking for a while, he still held back. Seeing Avril disappear, he suddenly understood something.
Avril is no longer Avril when the company was signed. She knew before that she was a girl with distinct personalities, but she rarely caused trouble because she did not have the capital to cause trouble.
But now it's different...
At Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio, Ronan and Chris Renard stood in front of a computer, and the computer was playing the animated short film "Peppa Pig".
As the opening plays, a childish voice sounds.
"I'm Page, hum; this is my younger brother George, hum; this is my mother, hum; this is my dad..."
"Peppa Pig" is used by Sand Sea Entertainment to win the best animated short film this year.
Since it is an animated short film, it will definitely not last long, only less than eight minutes.
"The sound of my stomach gushing is one of the most beautiful sounds in nature, which means it's time to eat..."
The animated short film is not only extremely complete, but also the lines are designed very interestingly.
The whole plot revolves around the pleasant experience of Peppa Pig and his family, which is humorous and interesting, using this to promote traditional family concepts and friendship and encourage children to experience life.
After the playback ended, Chris Renard asked: "Is there any hope to get the best animated short film Little Golden Man?"
Ronan thought for a while and said, "I have officially applied for the Best Animation Short Film of the Oscar. There is no problem with getting the nomination. If you want to win the award, you still have to make some efforts."
Chris Renard is more than just an animation director, saying: "The animation series has started to be produced. Getting the best animated short film Little Golden Man will be conducive to the promotion later."
Ronan said: "I have already made people do public relations, and sometimes it depends on a little luck to win awards."
A lot of work has been done before. In fact, the Oscar Best Animated Short Film is one of the most unpopular awards, and there are not many contestants who have signed up for the competition.
Ronan has found out that the only animation short films that have been registered for are Poland's "Cathedral", island country's "Toushan", Germany's "Roulwheel", Pixar Studio's "Big Eyed Boy's New Car", and Sand Sea Entertainment Animation Studio's "Peppa Pig".
It will be the end of December soon, which is the deadline for Oscar registration. Even if there are new competitors, there will not be too many.
Because of inertial thinking, Ronan believes that his strongest competitor should be Pixar Studio's "Big-eyed Boy's New Car".
The group of pussies in Pixar Studio are sometimes really annoying.
However, Ronan also heard some favorable news. Pixar Studio only applied for the Oscar for Best Animation Award and did not invest resources in it.
This is very beneficial to Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio.
Ronan discussed the Oscars and won the prize with Chris Renard, and then went to the studio's two animation teams to take a look.
The former is busy producing animated series of "Peppa Pig".
The latter has started the preparations for the short film "Minius" and even the setting artwork has been completed.
Due to Ronan's existence, the image of the Minions is basically no different from that of the past.
The main settings are to sell cheap, stupid and cute.
Ronan also gave Shahai Entertainment Screenwriter Department a brief storyline, allowing them to complete the script of "Despicable Me" in the first quarter of 2003.
For animated feature films, although scripts are also basic, they are not as important as ordinary movies. Especially for computer animation feature films, technology is more critical.
The technology of Shahai Entertainment Animation Studio is definitely not comparable to Pixar's group, and it is even different from DreamWorks Animation Studio. Among a series of animation studios in Hollywood, it is only a third-rate level.
Ronan was not very worried, and planned to let "Despicable Me" continue to follow the route of lighting and entertainment. It doesn't matter if the technology is almost there or the rough picture is, but you must form your own characteristics.
The biggest feature of the film undoubtedly comes from the Minions.
When he came to the director's office of the animation studio, Ronan said to Chris Renard: "Have the promotion plan for "Peppa Pig" started to be formulated?"
Chris Renard said: "This business is under the responsibility of Embassy Pictures. We are communicating with them. The Embassy Pictures' idea is to wait for the animated short film to be nominated for the Oscar for the best animated short film or even awarded, and then formulate a detailed promotion plan."
Ronan nodded: "It's good, the Oscar effect is still useful."
If the Oscars had no commercial effect, there wouldn't be so many people who would almost commit to the Oscar competition.
"We plan to produce 30 episodes in the first season." Chris Renard said: "The total investment in production is only $1.5 million..."
"Yes." Ronan asked without objection, but instead: "Is Page's voice actor OK?"
Chris Renard seemed very satisfied and said, "It performed very well! It was beyond our expectations! Little Taylor not only sounds good, but also has versatile talents. Especially when singing and playing the piano, they have been trained at the professional level and have a very high level."
He smiled and said, "We intend to add some songs and piano plots to the series, which can be done by Little Taylor himself."
Ronan said: "It seems Taylor has good potential."
Chris Renard said: "I communicated with Mr. Swift. Taylor has started to correct his teeth and is also shaping his body. After the series is played, we can hold some activities to let Taylor sing live, and the effect must be very good."
Ronan reminded: "Taylor is not yet an adult. No matter what activities he does, he must communicate with Scott in advance."
Chris Renard, who is also an old man in Hollywood, said: "I understand."
Luo Nan said again: "Communicate with me in time if you have any questions."
Leaving Shahai Entertainment, Ronan returned to the office of Relativity Entertainment. Just after he got the job done, Connie came in and said that Tom Cruise was here and was waiting for him in the reception room.
Luo Nan hurried to the reception room.
"Why are you here to me, Tom?" Ronan asked casually.
Tom Cruise smiled and said, "Why, isn't welcome?"
Ronan hugged him: "How could it be that it is not welcome? Others can't invite you, but they can't."
Tom Cruise sat on the single sofa and said, "I'm here to find you something today, I need some help."
Ronan was not polite to him: "What's our relationship? Tell me directly if you have something to do with me."
"The Academy is about to distribute votes." Tom Cruise certainly would not be polite to Ronan, and said directly: "You are also a member of the Academy now, and you can also influence many people. You must give it to me for the box office of the best actor nomination."
Ronan nodded: "No problem, can I give it to others if I don't give it to you?" He asked with concern: "How are you preparing there?"
Tom Cruise sighed and said, "It's okay, I don't think it's a big problem to get the nomination. But the theme of the film is a disadvantage."
