"On the 18th, DD Pictures officially announced the establishment of a new department - DD Animation. (Baidu search for the fastest and most stable update of the literature network) Previously, Daniel **** owned 20% of the shares of Weta Digital, which acquired animation. Technology company 'Animal Logic' and unexpectedly recruited one of its key figures, Andrew Stanton, from Pixar, who produced the second-highest-grossing animated film Finding Nemo to date after Shrek 2 , is one of Pixar's most senior and influential screenwriters, producers and directors of animated films. How many conditions Weta Digital put forward before Andrew let go, no one knows yet.

Now, maybe it's time to ask Daniel Sandler, Weta Digital is clearly covering their actions for DD Pictures. DD Pictures has been trying to acquire MGM Pictures before, and may not want to let this news add to the uncertainty of the acquisition. Now that the deal is done, plans for the animation division are also made public.

However, at yesterday's press conference, the most unexpected news was that Andrew announced that a movie produced by DD Animation - "Wall-E" will be released in this year's Christmas period. It has only been a full year since Andrew left Pixar, which means that DD Animation has completed this animated feature film in the past year. When we hear this news, there must be a common question: is one year enough time to make an animated film of satisfactory quality?

The answer given by Andrew is positive. He even vouched for "WALL-E" with his 20 years of work experience in the animation film field, claiming that it will be a role model for all DD animation works. The short half-minute video material that the reporter saw at the scene indeed proved Andrew's statement to a limited extent, but the half-minute and 90-minute whole movie are different. We can only guess, maybe this is a story that has been in Andrew's heart for a long time, and now it's just filmed, so everything is going very well. If that's the case, then Daniel and DD Animation are clearly making a fortune, and Pixar may go to court to ask a Los Angeles court to order Andrew to return Wall-E to Pixar. Because that's the story he created while he was serving Pixar.

In addition to "Wall-E", DD Animation also announced two other ambitious plans at the same time, which is rare in the field of animation films with budgets of over 100 million. One of them is "Happy Feet". This movie was included in their acquisition of Animal Logic. According to the plan, this ice and snow animation telling the story of the emperor penguin can be released next year or the year after - considering that DD Animation can't wait to release "Wall-E" Screening, Penguin ** should be completed next year and meet the audience. When it comes to this work, we inevitably think of another hugely successful ice and snow movie. That's Ice Age, produced by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by Fox, and because both sides have worked for years, it's hard to say that one is following the other. But Ice Age, which came out first, might be a little luckier.

Another work that only revealed the main animation image is called "Kung Fu Panda", yes, kung fu and panda are synonymous with China. This time, DD Pictures clearly intends to focus on the Chinese brand. In fact, Daniel has a deep relationship with China. The "Science and Technology Benefit All Living Beings" Foundation led by him donated a batch of valuable advanced instruments to Chinese scientific research institutions when the revolution was rampant in 2003. For research on the type of coronavirus we know now, Chinese officials also met with visiting foundation managers. In addition, Daniel is also the most well-known foreign actor in China - even more than most domestic actors. His "Gladiator", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" have all achieved good results in China. With the growing Chinese market, it is no surprise that DD Pictures intends to please their audience ahead of time.

Given that these actions are very planned, previous speculations about DD Pictures' overheating may not be tenable. They deliberately made "Wall-E" to make DD animation gain a foothold and make money. Then there is "Happy Feet", which further strengthens the company's foundation with the help of the popular trend of ice and snow animation. Unsurprisingly, this should be an animated series like Ice Age. So this will open up a continuous profit point for DD animation. Then there is "Kung Fu Panda", which on the one hand caters to the curiosity of the American market for exotic cultures. On the one hand, it can please the fast-growing Chinese market. Every step is very precise. If you insist on thinking about Zhou Xiang's actions as impulsive, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince people.

This has to be reminiscent of MGM, which previously reached an acquisition agreement with DD Pictures. Although the multi-national market supervision departments are still studying this acquisition, it is expected that there will be no problems. Then considering Daniel's deliberate deliberation in DD animation, he is more important in the development of MGM Pictures. Maybe more fully prepared and far-reaching. But this point has not attracted everyone's attention. We have seen a lot of reports focusing on how Daniel will run the huge MGM and how to avoid being dragged down by MGM to kill the highly profitable DD Films - but no one has considered it, Daniel may never have thought about just Simply go and get MGM up and running again. He may already have a great plan in his head -- a plan to make MGM great again.

We may have to look at Daniel more powerfully. This young social king, superstar, and billionaire is by no means what we imagined before: talented and lucky enough, but may lack experience and strategic vision.

…”

It took Daniel about 15 minutes to read the entire report. Andrew stood with him and did not urge him. Today, Daniel came to watch the rough cut of "Wall-E", so there was no need to hurry. In fact, after reading this report, Andrew's perception of Daniel changed a lot. He believes that there must be many people like him.

Hollywood shouldn't see Daniel as a "genius young man" anymore.

His talent, his achievements, his power and his future have determined that no one in Hollywood has the right to underestimate him.

Even with Andrew's self-restraint, he felt a rush in his chest, and the person standing beside him was the most representative face of Hollywood in this era. A hundred years later, when someone mentions Hollywood in the early 2000s, the first thing that comes to mind will undoubtedly be Daniel Sandler.

"too exaggerated."

Daniel muttered, shook his head, and started to walk towards the screening room. Andrew came back to his senses. Hurry up and follow.

Daniel didn't say anything about the New York Times report, but quickly got into work.

Seeing the familiar picture, the familiar tattered robot, Daniel smiled. It's a wonderful feeling, especially in an animated film, because the character wasn't contributed by an actor, but was created by him - about the same as having a child of your own, at least for the moment.

Wall-E's faithful brigade on Earth fulfills its mission - to clean up the trash. The whole earth is stunned in front of everyone, and the virtual light screen easily tells everyone that this is sometime in the future—yes, if human beings are not restrained, this is what the future earth will be like. Although "WALL-E" has no intention to make itself an environmental blockbuster, it is very good to incorporate some high-profile themes into it, not only to take advantage of various awards and ratings, but also to attract children's audiences. Advantage - Often young parents themselves get impatient with instructional movies. But hope their children can accept some positive subject matter.

The young dad may love Playboy, but he won't show it to his 8-year-old son, and the young mom is more interested in movies like The Hangover, but when she takes the kids, Surely they wouldn't walk into a screening room of "The Hangover," the adult world is just like that.

As long as you don't pick up sesame seeds and throw watermelons, reduce the fun and add a little environmental theme, it will be beneficial and harmless to "Wall-E".

When Wall-E's house slowly opened, it was easy for people to understand. This robot is not a cold machine, but an individual that has something in common with humans. Wait until Wall-E puts the cassette into the VCR and the actors in the simulation start to dance and shine a little with his eyes. Daniel could feel the loneliness around this little robot.

"Ha ha."

"Very interesting design."

Seeing that WALL-E, who woke up in the morning, started to collide with each other because of the lack of power, like a child who was reluctant to have sex, both Daniel and Andrew laughed. Even if Daniel wrote this scene himself, when it happened in front of him, he would still be amused by the ignorant little robot. That's what a classic is about, you rarely get bored with its fun bits, which is not the same as some R-rated movies that do well at the box office, which is roughly equivalent to the difference between a fine dining restaurant and a fast food chain.

The appearance of Green Plant and Eva means that the story begins to get to the point.

Wall-E's love flower begins to bloom, and he takes care of Eva, who is in a deep sleep, holding an umbrella for her and charging her - because Wall-E himself is solar-charged, of course he suspects that Eva is motionless because of her Insufficient energy. He also rowed Eva through the stinky ditch and meandered through the mountains of garbage... Until the spaceship came to pick up Eva, he lay on the spaceship shell without hesitation and left the earth with it.

The little cockroach looked up at its back, somewhat saddened.

After entering the Veritas, Wall-E started his arrogant and righteous "mischief", how to defeat the spacecraft's automatic control system, put the green plants into the tester, and then direct the Veritas to return to Earth. A series of jokes and conflicts, cleaning robots, umbrella robots, violent mad robots, all kinds of interesting robots were mobilized, and under the leadership of the ignorant Wall-E, the stagnant water of the truth was turned upside down. Those surviving humans who have been "raised" and have basically lost their ability to walk have begun to wake up—of course, this is another point of irony. Many scientists predict that the evolutionary direction of human beings is probably more and more lazy and lack of mobility. These chubby truth passengers are the representatives.

Wall-E became a hero, both in the face of love and the noble purpose of returning to Earth.

"He's great, isn't he? Wall-E is great."

As the main person in charge of "Wall-E", Andrew is of course very familiar with the film, and because of this, he was surprised by Daniel's talent. He knew that Daniel was very accomplished in oil painting - this may be his What ultimately led to interest and ability in animation. However, even so, "Wall-E" is so outstanding and extraordinary, but it came from the hands of Daniel, which surprised Andrew, but also had to sigh inexplicably.

Heavenly Wizards, apart from this explanation, there is no more rhetoric to explain this.

Daniel may have been more favored by God than geniuses who were proudly gifted in a single field.

"Really good, everyone will like him, right? Such a hardworking, kind, brave, funny Wall-E."

Daniel read it three times, brought up some inconsistencies, and discussed it with Andrew. Although he did not recreate "Wall-E" 100% as he remembered, the benchmark reference must be The original "Wall-E", at this point, he won't do anything superfluous. And Andrew Stanton himself is the creator of the original "Wall-E". The two people's cognition of "Wall-E" is similar, and it is easy to reach an agreement.

A consensus has been reached on the revision suggestions of several points. Daniel turned to "Happy Big Feet" to see the progress. "Kung Fu Panda" has not officially started. The staff of DD animation is limited, and it is the most comfortable to operate two works at the same time. status.

…

It was confirmed that the work of DD animation was on the normal track, Daniel did not have time to delay, flew directly to Nairobi, and joined the group to shoot "The Endless Gardener".

Fernando took a group of people from Berlin and flew to Nairobi. The assistant director took a group of people to stay in Berlin to shoot some corner scenes. Daniel also has European scenes. UU Reading www.uukanshu. com but will return to Berlin with Fernando to finish filming in the later stage, because according to the agreement, before officially joining the group, he will stay in the British mission in Kenya for about a week, and learn from the British diplomatic envoy with the representative of the mission, Brown Lehman. work habits and characteristics.

Of course, this may not be particularly necessary - even the British don't know so much about the work of their own diplomats, but obviously, neither Daniel nor Fernando will get away with it. A well-crafted literary film , should be motivated by the pursuit of perfection. (To be continued.)

PS: [Key Notice]: The book has been written in the later stage, and I have to prepare a new book, so I will reduce the number of updates.

To be honest, this result can be written up to now, thanks to many friends such as Mufu, who loves to eat rabbits, etc., and the encouragement of book friends in the group, otherwise it will definitely not last until now, thank you all. The book may still have 200,000 to 300,000 appearances. This month will start today (one chapter 4,000 is added today), and 4,000 to 6,000 words will be updated every day, and two chapters will be updated at 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock in the evening.
