Jobs moves officially here Pixar, even if later undertook various measures including lay-off, is still unable to change the destiny that it loses money one after another, freely when 91 years signed an animation contract with Disney, actually because of the obstruction and domineering advancement of «Lion King of» project Michael Eisner, the fund cannot arrive. 加州里士满,一座很不起眼的海滨小城,1990年史蒂夫?乔布斯正式将皮克斯搬迁到这里,即便之后推出了包括裁员在内的各种措施,依然无法改变它接连亏损的命运,尽管91年时与迪士尼签订了一份动画合约,却因为迈克尔?艾斯纳的阻挠和《狮子王》项目的强势推进,资金迟迟不能到位。 Because cannot gain for a long time, instead loses money continuously, Steve? When Jobs from 1991, the determination sells Pixar, the trading object is some companies including Microsoft, however, once offered besides his old enemy, other companies will look to fade all Pixar's future. 由于长期不能盈利,反而接连不断亏损,史蒂夫?乔布斯从1991年时,就决心出售皮克斯,交易对象是包括微软在内的一些公司,然而,除了他的老对头曾经报价外,其他公司无不看衰皮克斯的未来。 To 1993, did Pixar still grasp in Steve? In Jobs's hand, like over the past several years, him still is seeking for under the family/home for this animation studio, the company of offer still only has one- Microsoft! 一直到了1993年,皮克斯依然掌握在史蒂夫?乔布斯的手中,就像过去几年一样,他依然在为这间动画工作室寻找着下家,报价的公司依然只有一个-微软！ Recently two years, Pixar Studio but, can only provide the computer animation manufacture service for other companies, for Tropicana Products and Listerine and other brand manufacture television advertisements, strove to maintain the operation of work room. 最近两年,皮克斯工作室无奈之下,只能为其他公司提供电脑动画制作服务,先后为纯果乐和李施德林等品牌制作电视广告,勉力维持着工作室的运营。 At this time, Pixar's alone level office district, in a conference room, several people were discussing difficult issue that the work room faces. 此时,皮克斯的独层办公区,一间会议室中,几个人正在讨论着工作室面临的严峻问题。 „Ed, I heard that Steve did want to sell the work room?” “艾德,我听说史蒂夫又想要出售工作室了？” The person of speech is John Lasseter, Pixar's senior statesman and creative director. 说话的人是约翰?拉赛特,皮克斯的元老和创意总监。 „Right!” Ed? Qamrul's helpless nod, „next computer business is unsatisfactory, I think that you should be clear, Steve met some troublesome in fund, last year Pixar's loss......” “没错！”艾德?卡姆尔无奈的点了点头,“next电脑业务不佳,我想你们应该都清楚,史蒂夫在资金方面遇到了一些麻烦,去年皮克斯的亏损……” He gives the hand signal that everyone understood. 他做了个大家都了解的手势。 „Disney? Has not arrived at the account 26 million US dollars investment that they comply with the present!” Jim? Morris is saying indignantly, „they and we signed the contract of animation lengthy picture, is actually not willing to invest the fund!” “迪士尼呢？他们答应的2600万美元的投资到现在还没有到账！”吉姆?莫里斯愤愤不平的说着,“他们与我们签下了动画长片的合约,却不肯投入资金！” „Michael Eisner said that before «Lion King» screens, will not consider to carry out that contract.” Ed? Qamrul is quite helpless. Does Pixar look like its everyone Steve? Jobs such, since the 90's has been having bad luck. “迈克尔?艾斯纳说了,在《狮子王》上映前,不会考虑执行那份合约。”艾德?卡姆尔相当无奈。皮克斯就像是它的所有人史蒂夫?乔布斯那样,自从进入90年代后一直在走背运。 „I heard that Steve is negotiating with Microsoft at present, perhaps should we be ready......” to settle Drew? In Stanton's words is also helpless. “我听说史蒂夫目前正在与微软谈判,或许我们应该做好准备……”安德鲁?斯坦顿的话中同样无奈。 „Everyone do not blame Steve, he first is a merchant, next is the PC enthusiast, for these years he invested about 30 million funds, cannot obtain to return, selling Pixar is very normal business dealing.” “大家不要责怪史蒂夫,他首先是个商人,其次才是电脑爱好者,这几年他投入了近三千万的资金,却得不到回报,出售皮克斯是很正常的商业行为。” Ed? Does Qamrul have no intention in judges Steve? Jobs's behavior, the opposite party after all is by the merchant of advantage. 艾德?卡姆尔无意于去评判史蒂夫?乔布斯的行为,对方毕竟是个逐利的商人。 „We should launch the self-help.” John Lasseter wielded under the fist, „we should concentrate the surplus funds. Starts the animation lengthy picture, makes a fragment to make Disney have a look, making them understand that the 3D computer animation will be in the future!” “我们应该展开自救。”约翰?拉赛特挥动了下拳头,“我们应该将剩余的资金集中起来。启动动画长片,做出一个片段让迪士尼看看,让他们明白3d电脑动画才是未来！” „John, I thinks that you should hear Michael Eisner arbitrary despotic, you think that this will make him change the mind? Also, «Lion King» is the Ryan Jenkins work, you understand that behind this name the rallying point of representative, you think they will give up the 2D animation, then supports us?” “约翰,我想你应该听说过迈克尔?艾斯纳的独断专横,你认为这样会让他改变主意吗？还有,《狮子王》是瑞恩?詹金斯的作品,想必你们都明白这个名字背后代表的号召力,你认为他们会放弃2d动画,转而来支持我们吗？” „Ed. In fact animation lengthy picture that I want to manufacture, is the Ryan Jenkins work.” John Lasseter seems prepared early, took out «Ryan Collection of stories» from the seat, opens rapidly. „«Toy Story»! I think that you should look at this brief story, was given the vitality toy very suitable computer animation.” “艾德。实际上我想要制作的动画长片,也是瑞恩?詹金斯的作品。”约翰?拉赛特似乎早有准备,从座位下面取出了一本《瑞恩故事集》,迅速翻开。“《玩具总动员》！我想你们应该看过这篇简短的故事,被赋予了生命力的玩具非常适合电脑动画。” They have certainly looked at this story, person who now also keeps Pixar, all was full of the imagination and childlike innocence person. Most suited their appetites like «Ryan Collection of stories» this kind of indulgent work. 他们当然都看过这篇故事,现在还留在皮克斯的人,无一不是充满了想象力和童心的人。像《瑞恩故事集》这类异想天开的作品最合他们的胃口了。 In fact, long before they had discussed this project, because afterward the financial problem let it go. 实际上,很早以前他们讨论过这个项目,后来因为资金问题不了了之。 Several other people showed the helpless smiling face. Ed? Qamrul says, „is! Before this project us, has discussed that not, John? But have you thought another issue?” 其余几人露出了无奈的笑容。艾德?卡姆尔开口说道,“是！这个项目我们以前也讨论过,不是吗,约翰？但你有没有想过另外一个问题？” „Fund!” He referred to front of opposite party «Ryan Collection of stories», „last year, Sony Colombia wanted to buy inside that «Brave Game», the initial price 4 million US dollars in addition 3% North America box offices were divided, was actually rejected by his manager without hesitation......, did we move that super talent with what? Counted on that has been authorized free?” “资金！”他指了指对方面前的《瑞恩故事集》,“就在去年,索尼哥伦比亚想要买下里面的那篇《勇敢者的游戏》,开价400万美元外加百分之三的北美票房分成,却被他的经纪人毫不犹豫的拒绝了……嗯,我们拿什么去打动那个超级天才？难道指望得到免费授权？” In the conference room a silence, «Toy Story» is only a short article story, must make the opposite party reorganize the script inevitably, now who does not know that the Ryan Jenkins story will very probably turn into the greatly hot movie, does not pay the suitable price, how possibly to take? 会议室中一片沉默,《玩具总动员》只是一个短篇故事,势必还要让对方改编成剧本,如今谁不知道瑞恩?詹金斯的故事很可能会变成大热的电影,不付出相当的代价,怎么可能拿到手？ „This, we first relate, did also hopefully, if did not make that only to wait.” John Lasseter has not lost heart obviously. “这样吧,我们先联系一下,做了还有希望,如果不做那就只能等待了。”约翰?拉赛特显然还不死心。 „If Pixar spreads is going to manufacture the Ryan Jenkins work the good news, said that does not permit us to obtain the new investment, Steve that side pressure can also be smaller.” secure Drew? Stanton supplements to say. “如果皮克斯传出将要制作瑞恩?詹金斯作品的利好消息,说不准我们可以获得新的投资,史蒂夫那边的压力也可以小一些。”安德鲁?斯坦顿补充说道。 „Good.” “那好吧。” ............ ………… The extreme accident/surprise, Ryan does not have to think oneself are peeling Kaess's idea, in the opposite party unexpectedly initiative relation he, this had certainly nothing to do with the purchase. 非常非常的意外,瑞恩没想到自己正在打皮克斯的主意,对方竟然主动联系上了他,当然这与收购无关。 The historical inertia revealed that the might, that by «Toy Story» that he wrote ahead of time, actually becomes the object who the opposite party favored, as if except for by side these people who he directly affected, others and matters after transferring a circle, would returning to the zero point. 历史惯性显露出了威力,那篇被他提前写出来的《玩具总动员》,竟然成为了对方青睐的对象,似乎除了被他直接影响到的身边这些人,其余的人和事在转一个圈之后,总会回到原点。 Phone call that after receiving Kingsley made, Ryan considered slightly, proposed to the opposite party request that visits Pixar Studio, one day later they acknowledged joyfully. 在接到了金丝莉打来的电话后,瑞恩稍稍考虑了一番,向对方提出了参观皮克斯工作室的请求,一天之后他们欣然应诺。 Got down the vehicle, Nicole? Kidman looked at the front alone level work room, curls the lip. 下了车子,妮可?基德曼看了看前方的独层工作室,不禁撇了撇嘴。 „Ok, Nicole, we were visit, was not finds fault.” “好了,妮可,我们是来参观的,不是来挑刺的。” Ryan is clear, Nicole is not has the opinion to the work room, but before that person to work room has the opinion, obvious two years ago Steve? Jobs's arrogant stance, by her in heart. 瑞恩清楚,妮可不是对工作室有意见,而是对工作室前的那个人有意见,显然两年前史蒂夫?乔布斯的高傲姿态,被她记在了心中。 „Hello, Mr. Jobs.” “你好,乔布斯先生。” Has greeted with this previous generation famous fellow, two person 11 handshakes that also introduced with him, Ryan sized up one by one, in image compared with memory young many. 与这个前世闻名遐迩的家伙打过招呼,又与他介绍的两个人一一握手,瑞恩挨个打量了一番,比记忆中的形象年轻了不少。 „Mr. Sert, I have looked at your Director «Settles Drew And Might Risk», is splendid.” Last. Previous generation «Toy Story» Director. “拉赛特先生,我看过你导演的《安德鲁和威力的冒险》,非常出色。”最后一个。正是前世《玩具总动员》的导演。 Originally with person John Lasseter and Ed who Ryan contacts? Qamrul, but looks at today's appearance, seems like by Steve? Jobs to lord, although the previous generation opposite party may be called the character of commercial godfather level, but his arrogant character and self-centered attitude, likable. 本来与瑞恩联系的人正是约翰?拉赛特和艾德?卡姆尔,不过看今天的样子,似乎是以史蒂夫?乔布斯为主了,尽管前世对方堪称商业教父级的人物,但他的高傲性格和以自我为中心的作风,怎么也让人喜欢不起来。 Believes if not Pixar needs help from itself, this fellow likely like previous time meets, revealed can only be desolate and arrogant. 相信如果不是皮克斯有求于自己,这个家伙很可能像上次见面一样,亮出的只会是冷淡和傲慢。 Ryan said fortunately, after all the previous generation has heard his manner. 瑞恩还好说,毕竟前世就听说过他的为人。 Nicole was different, facing John Lasseter and Ed? When Qamrul is polite. When treats Jobs revealed the sharp chin directly. 妮可就不同了,面对约翰?拉赛特和艾德?卡姆尔时还算客气。对待乔布斯时直接亮出了尖尖的下巴。 Ryan is very clear, oneself and Nicole in the opposite party eyes, but is the entertainment star, before his commercial big shot, inborn should lower a level. 瑞恩很清楚,自己和妮可在对方眼中,不过就是娱乐明星而已,在他这种商业大佬面前,天生就应该低一个层次。 Steve? Jobs does not understand, he and Nicole asset, is not necessarily more inferior than him, present Steve? Jobs is not the billionaires. 只是史蒂夫?乔布斯不会明白,他和妮可的资产,未必比他逊色,现在的史蒂夫?乔布斯连亿万富翁都算不上。 „In Pixar, does not have the high and low division. Any staff when facing boss, can state directly own view, our work rooms are actually an amusement park.” “在皮克斯,没有上下之分。任何一个员工在面对老板时,都可以直接陈述自己的看法,我们的工作室其实就是一个游乐园。” Walks in the arrangement all sorts of strange and unusual work room, Steve? Jobs has a not introduction. Ed? Qamrul will supplement several once for a while. 走在布置的千奇百怪的工作室中,史蒂夫?乔布斯有一句没一句的介绍着。艾德?卡姆尔时不时会补充几句。 Ryan is also sizing up workshops, each is not same, some seem like the changing room of football, some seem like the computer game room. Also some look like the earning living stall of Gypsy, here not like a company, instead probably dazzling Chinatown. 瑞恩也打量着一个个的工作间,每个都不相同,有的像是橄榄球的更衣室,有的像是电子游戏室。还有的就像是吉普赛人的卖艺摊位,这里不像一家公司,反而像是琳琅满目的中国城。 Not only so. Sometimes can also hear shouting and wrangling of some computer programmers, even he also sees two people for divergent noisy being red in the face, as if may put up momentarily competently, but then actually looks like anything not to happen , to continue the intimate cooperation. 不仅仅如此。有时还能听到一些电脑程序员的大呼小叫,甚至他还看到两个人为了一点分歧吵的面红耳赤,似乎随时都可能干架,但接下来却又像什么事情都没有发生过,继续亲密无间的合作。 As for ‚below defies superiors’, the Ryan previous generation that Jobs mentioned has heard, actually without seeing, can actually guess correctly indistinctly, the so-called high and low division, on has not referred to was also Ed? Does Qamrul, settle Drew? Stanton and the others, if some really people do dare with Steve? Jobs chokes the sound, with his character...... 至于乔布斯提及的‘以下犯上’,瑞恩前世听说过,却没有见到,其实隐约能猜到,所谓没有上下之分,上指的也就是艾德?卡姆尔、安德鲁?斯坦顿等人,如果真有人敢和史蒂夫?乔布斯呛声,以他的性格…… Although has established the goal, but walks, Ryan or Nicole, maintain composure, believes that so long as they reveal the appearance that is interested, in the future Scott's negotiations, this fellow really dares to shout a sky-high price. 尽管已经确定了目标,但一路走来,无论是瑞恩还是妮可,都不动声色,相信只要他们露出感兴趣的样子,在未来斯科特的谈判中,这个家伙真敢喊出一个天价来。 Never must underestimate one once the successful merchant regarding the hope of profit! Before this is comes, Scott Swift in the telephone has spoken the words. 永远不要低估一个曾经成功的商人对于利润的渴望！这是来之前,斯科特?斯威夫特在电话中说过的话。 „How feels, Ryan? Is Pixar and other work rooms is different?” Ed? Qamrul asked with a smile. “感觉怎么样,瑞恩？皮克斯是不是与其他工作室不同？”艾德?卡姆尔笑着问道。 „How un...... saying that feels chaotically, do not mind, you should know, I to these am a layman, this is only the personal view.” “嗯……怎么说呢,感觉乱糟糟的,不要介意,你们应该知道,我对这些是外行,这只是个人看法而已。” When Ryan put out obtained the Oscars performing skill, including nearby Nicole thinks that he really had no interest in Pixar. 瑞恩可是拿出了获得奥斯卡小金人时的演技,连旁边的妮可都以为他真的对皮克斯没兴趣了。 Then, both sides went to the reception room, roughly talked about " Toy Story » reorganization. 接下来,双方去了会客室,大致谈到了《玩具总动员》的改编。 „The 3D animation is the future development trend, the first computer animation movie, will definitely be born in Pixar Studio, although we encounter the difficulty now, but will definitely make all people be startled in the future.” “3d动画是未来的发展趋势,第一部电脑动画电影,肯定会诞生在皮克斯工作室,虽然我们现在遇到了困难,但未来肯定会让所有人大吃一惊。” John Lasseter is saying incessantly, as to convince Ryan from the other aspect, they did not seek the free authorization, so long as the opposite party is willing to reduce the pricetag to be OK. 约翰?拉赛特滔滔不绝的说着,似乎想要从另一面说服瑞恩,他们不求免费授权,只要对方肯降低价码就可以了。 „I will consider!” Ryan spoke thoughtlessly to deal with, these words and refused not to have too to distinguish tactfully much. “我会考虑的！”瑞恩随口应付着,这句话与委婉拒绝也没太多区别。 After half afternoon time, he and Nicole said goodbye on own initiative, at this time Ed? Qamrul and on John Lasseter face has revealed the disappointed color. 半下午的时间过后,他和妮可主动告辞,这时艾德?卡姆尔和约翰?拉赛特脸上已经露出了失望之色。 „Ryan, should you have no interest in this chaotic work room?” On train to Los Angeles, Nicole? Kidman asked. “瑞恩,你对这个乱糟糟的工作室应该没兴趣了吧？”返回洛杉矶的车上,妮可?基德曼问道。 „No, Nicole.” Ryan shakes the head, firm saying, „makes Scott start the acquisition negotiation.”( Please search the floating astronomy to be continued, the novel is better to renew is quicker! “不,妮可。”瑞恩摇了摇头,坚定的说道,“让斯科特启动收购谈判吧。”(未完待续请搜索飄天文學,小说更好更新更快!
