Growing through failure? Learn to calm down in impulse? Yes, of course it is, even if she is a genius, but herself... Angela looked at the passing scenery outside the car window, and suddenly wanted to smile bitterly. If she had no memory of her previous life, what would it be like now
"What's the matter, Angel?" Liv, who was sitting beside her, asked at this time.
"Oh, nothing." The girl replied absentmindedly.
"Anything on your mind? Then find a place where no one is around and shout it out loud, I used to do it all the time." Liv sighed suddenly, "For example—sometimes I hate my father and give birth irresponsibly. After that, he ignored me again; but now he is showing remorse, and I don't know if I should forgive him. I always think about this question every time I shout into the forest on the outskirts."
Angela listened silently, and then held Liv's hand. There were not many memories of Liv's father in the girl's memory, but one thing she remembered was that the theme song of "Doomsday" was written by Steve to his daughter. Yes, especially the last scene of the MTV song is very interesting, so this guy should love his own daughter.
"If you think he really loves you, then forgive him. No matter what, he is your father!" Angela said.
"...That's right." Liv bit her lip, her pure and beautiful face revealed firmness, as if she had made a decision, which made Angela's heart move slightly and glanced at Sparrow who was sitting in front of her. And Pu Guanshui, who was driving, then leaned into the other's ear and said softly, "Liv, may I ask a question?"
However, Liv suddenly giggled and tilted her head: "Your breath makes my ears itch."
"Liv!" Angela called out with a bit of anger, and then waved her fist at the rear-view mirror in front of her.
"Okay, okay, I'm listening, Angel." Liv sat up straight. He raised his hand and said.
Angela sighed, hesitated, and then whispered again: "When you were shooting, did you feel that you were the heroine and yourself at the same time, or that the two of you melted into one?"
"What did you—say? I don't understand." Liv blinked, a little confused.
"I mean—" The girl gestured with her hands, as if trying to pull out what she wanted to say, "do you ever feel like you've put yourself in the heroine. Then you've got—the mind of another person. Oh. , no, yes- alas, in a word, it means that two people have become one person!"
Facing Liv's still incomprehensible expression, Angela could only helplessly roll her eyes and stop talking. Perhaps the otaku character in the past life that doesn't want to grow up and is afraid of being hurt, and the personality conflict that always wants to grow up quickly and be independent in this life, will one day make him schizophrenic.
However, at this time Liv came over and said, "But you are still alone after all? No matter what you do or do, it is impossible for one to go west and the other to go east. One person, that's schizophrenia."
Angela looked at Liv speechlessly, I was thinking about schizophrenia just now, are you cursing me? Maybe when I'm as old as you I really will... wait! The girl was stunned suddenly, and then suddenly burst out.
"What's the matter, you..." Before Liv could finish her words, Angela had already wrapped her arms around her neck and pressed heavily on her rosy lips, completely ignoring the two men in front of her. Fortunately, she didn't have a tongue kiss or anything, and left after touching it for a few seconds, but her green eyes were full of smiles.
Liv touched her lips dazedly and looked at her in surprise: "Why is this?"
"Nothing, I just declare, I am me! I am an adult! I take full responsibility for my own actions! Even if this declaration is outside the law." Angela raised her right hand as if swearing, letting Quan The people in the car are confused.
"Angel, are you okay?" Liv asked worriedly.
"No, no, dear, I just figured out some questions, don't worry, I'm fine." Angela said with a smile, and didn't say another word.
Soon, the car arrived at the hotel where Liv was staying, and the two girls broke up. After watching Liv and her mother enter the hotel, Angela set foot on the way home, and only then did she sit upright and say to the co-pilot Sparrow: "Okay, Jack, about directing MTV I have given you the notebook, I hope you better exchange opinions with Disney within three days!"
Seeing that Sparrow wanted to say something, she immediately replied: "Just like this, I will use the facts to shut everyone up, including! Some people! Also, if you have any questions in the future, please ask me in person, I already have some Hate heuristics! I know what I'm doing and what I'm supposed to do!"
The two men in the car were shaken by these long words, Pu Guanshui couldn't help but whistled: "You are really imposing, miss, have you taken the Dali Pill?" spoken in Chinese.
"Shut up, Ryan Stan Pu! Your duty is to drive, not to make jokes!" Angela glared at him, then looked at her agent.
And Sparrow, who looked at the rearview mirror for a while, suddenly smiled: "As you wish, Angie!"

"I know that everyone sitting here is an elite in this industry, so I don't plan to point fingers in other areas. I will only talk about the production of this animation. Before that, everyone should have obtained the script. I want to listen to it first. I'll listen to your opinions." In the slightly messy, not-so-big studio, the girl folded her arms and leaned against a table, smiling and making a gesture of invitation to the surrounding employees. At this moment, both CEO Ed Kammer, John Lassatt and Andrew Stanton, who are in charge of the director, have some weird feelings in their hearts, and they all glanced at Steve Jobs, who looked calm on the other side, Although he did not hide that they wanted to find investors, no one thought that the 14-year-old star girl in front of him would be the one who finally injected the capital.
Pixar has the best 3D scientists, the best 3D artists, and film managers who know something about Angela and know that she's a star with a reputation for being a genius. John Lassatt knows a bit more. After all, he resigned from Disney and came to Pixar. He also has many old friends at Disney, so he was the first to speak.
"Actually, Miss Mason..."
"Please call me Angela."
"Okay, Angela, I've read your script and setting draft. From my personal point of view, it's very good, basically nothing to fault, but if we start from scratch, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, Two years, or even more than two years!" John said, spreading his hands.
"How could this be?!" Angela was slightly taken aback, if she remembered correctly, "Toy Story" should have been released at the end of 1995. Then why...
"Complete 3D animation is not as simple as 2D. We need to render frame by frame. The more things on the screen, the more complex it is. The rendering speed will be slower. For a 1-minute animation, the rendering last week has been the longest. Soon." John continued.
"Can't you use more computers to render this animation at the same time?" the girl couldn't help asking.
Several employees looked surprised, John was also taken aback, then nodded: "In fact, we do exactly this, or our method is more convenient, using a dual-CPU motherboard..."
"There is a dual-core CPU now?" Angela showed a surprised look, but the other party shook her head: "No, we use two or even CPUs on the motherboard to speed up the calculation speed, dual-core... It’s a good idea, but it’s hard to do it in civilian terms now.”
"Okay, please continue."
"Okay, even so, the speed is still not optimistic. You know, we have a partnership with Disney. They asked us to come up with a feature-length animation. Before that, in 1992, we started working on it, But by the end of 1993, it was only rendered for 30 minutes." John said helplessly.
This is not very good, but why... Angela frowned slightly and suddenly felt a thud in her heart, she calmed down in secret, she raised her head and looked at the other party: "You have already done 30 minutes of animation before, haven't you? "
"Yes."
"So can changes be made on that basis?"
Hearing this, John and Andrew looked at each other and smiled, and then John nodded: "In fact, this is exactly what I want to say. Because the 30-minute animation we did before was exactly the story of a group of toys, in many The shape of the thing is very similar to the toy in your story, although the plot is different, but we can take it and modify it and use it, which saves a lot of time."
He didn't know, Angela's heartbeat quickened a lot after listening to him.
"Really, can I take a look?" the girl asked calmly.
"sure."
After the 30-minute animation was played, if she was just worried before, now she is really in a cold sweat. Toys such as dinosaurs, piggy banks, and pogo sticks can be seen everywhere. Then the cowboy who looks a little like Woody, There are similar toys in the world, but the robot with the shadow of Buzz Lightyear had to let her scream in her stomach as a fluke.
"I have no opinion at all. After all, you are experts. The image I set is only for reference. Of course, if there is any problem with the script, you can contact me." A circle of computers: "Now that you have funds, you can add some more computers for production."
"Thanks, I think we will," John said with a smile.
"OK, then I'll leave, it's a pleasure to meet you." Angela said, waved to everyone, and left the studio accompanied by Ed and Steve.
It's okay, it's fortunate that Pixar didn't come in vain. The girl let out a sigh of relief in her stomach with some fear. There shouldn't be any problems, right
At this time, the voice of Steve and Ed whispering into the ear:
"Maybe we can figure out a way to finish the film as quickly as possible."
"I agree, but there are not enough people."
"It doesn't matter, you can let a few people in the game production department stop temporarily, or simply close it."
Angela, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, turned her head abruptly, and looked at Steve: "Mr. Steve, you said that Pixar still has a game department?!"
