Sitting on the chair behind the desk, Angela, who came back from the studio, breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that running around these days was even more tiring than when she was studying.
How could this be? The girl rubbed her temples with her eyes closed. In fact, there are not many things. The most important thing is to hope that the record company will postpone the release of the new album for a few days, because according to the current progress, the later work of "Snatch and Kidnap" will be completed by the end of August. It will cost a lot of money to suspend production during the promotion. Although the cost is not much, it can be avoided. Why must it burn money? The record company readily agreed, as Angela hinted that she might change her mind and hold a concert next year if it was appropriate!
Although it is not very sure, it is not an excuse. In short, the girl is still thinking about it. After "Snatch, Kidnap", her plan will be fully launched, but at the same time, she will go to college soon, and she still needs to set aside time for her family. With friends and other things, I'm afraid I don't have much time for concerts - at least not until college. Therefore, she felt that it might be better to hold two before entering the university, and only hold it in a few well-known cities.
In addition, we also need to pay attention to the filming of "The Matrix", which was just back from the set. Although the filming has not progressed quickly so far, it has been very smooth. Ridley's directing skills are very sophisticated, especially after having communicated with Angela more than once, the poor stock in the girl's stomach has been emptied, and the directing has been smoother.
Although she was speechless several times and could only change the subject, Angela never got angry. The more Ridley was like this, the more confident she became in him. In the end, she basically just kept McKinley on set to pay attention to the funds. What, just go and see it once in a while, and then check it out during the final editing, believing it won't lose to the original.
And the director is not bad and the actor is not bad. Although Keanu has more training tasks than others, and every time he is trained by the tiger, he still practices very seriously, which makes his fighting scenes have a qualitative leap - although Angie La really couldn't see what was so good about the fight at the scene, but this was what Yuan Ba Ye himself said, and at the same time, Kate was also praised by him!
Oh, Kate... Angie opened her eyes and covered her forehead, a faint wry smile appeared on her face, her tiredness should be more caused by psychological panic and uncertainty, right? Thinking of this, she couldn't help getting more and more annoyed at Christina and Britney.
If it wasn't for them... The girl clenched her fists, then let them go and sighed, she knew it wasn't all the two of them, these two guys just wanted to have another threesome with her, why? I like her, that's all, oh, I probably miss the 3P I didn't know about last time, anyway, they said it was their best experience, God knows what happened in the first place! Yes, it must be because of the wine. After thinking about it carefully that night, when they set themselves up, the last scene was to grab the wine glass in Britney's hand! But why didn't this happen when drinking with Kate in London? Or is it because the wine is different? Damn, can't remember what alcohol I drank when I had two threesomes with them.
Angela frowned, shook her bag, and drove them out. Anyway, if it wasn't for them, how could she wear the wrong bottoms, and how could Annie tell her thoughts? Thinking of this, she suddenly felt discouraged. Ball, Annie already knew it! And she knows it all, Kate, Jesse, Nat she knows it all! Fear and anxiety once again occupied the girl's mind and body.
She won't say, will she tell Mom and Dad? Will you tell Nat? Angela thought in a trance. The feeling that the most secret thing in her heart was suddenly revealed made her feel that she might lose everything at any time! During this time, she had been avoiding Annie, and the two of them didn't say more than ten words.
At this moment, the phone on the table beeped: "Miss Angela, Mr. Steve is here."
"Well... ok, please come in." The startled girl replied with concentration, then quickly rubbed her face, took out the mirror from her handbag, opened it, and straightened her hair, and finally did a few Taking a deep breath, I suppressed all the messy thoughts before, and when Jobs pushed in the door, he became as calm and beautiful as usual.
"It's really... simple here." Steve said jokingly, looking at the furnishings in the office, "and there's plenty of light."
"I don't come here often, so I don't need to do it well." Angela smiled and said that this office is simply elevated, with only one desk, two high-back chairs, and two low sofas. There is a small coffee table in the middle. There is almost nothing in the data cabinet. The windows, let alone the curtains, have not even been pasted. It may be more appropriate to use a simple description.
The girl gestured for a seat, then pressed the phone: "Ms. Adiman, please bring in two cups of coffee, a latte and a cappuccino, thank you."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Jobs: "I think I remember correctly."
"Of course not," Steve laughed. "Hopefully it didn't make you wait too long."
"Just for a while, not too long." Angela shrugged and sat on the other low sofa after Ms. Adiman brought the coffee: "So, Steve, Jack said you asked me about equity, So what exactly?"
"It's actually nothing," Jobs took a sip of coffee and put it on the coffee table. After thinking about it, he said, "You know, Pixar's motto is to make every employee think of the company as their home, and I don't want this sentence to become Empty slogans, those who must let employees, especially the most outstanding employees, regard the company as their home, and naturally let them be the masters of the house! So I want to distribute part of the equity in my hand to those who are worthy of retention! "
"Who are worthy of doing this? How much do I need to share?" Angela simply grasped the point.
“Andrew Stanton and Chris Taylor, both of them have done a great job for all to see. There are a few others under consideration, Danny Thewlis and Garvey Tarry from Animation, Mike Ober from Games Ryan, Jeff Stein, and Parkret Wilt," Steve said, changing his posture, "The result of my discussions with Ed and John is that for the time being, you and I will only have a 4% stake each. , if the latter few people are really worthy of us keeping them."
The girl tilted her head and thought: "I know Danny Thewlis and Garvey Tarry, I've talked to them, they're all great animators, but Mike O'Brien, Jeff Stein, and Parker Who is Ritter Wilt?"
"The technicians Ed hired half a year ago are very good at game development," Steve explained. "Do you know MPQ? A very good compressed file format, written by O'Brien; as for Jeff And Parkreet, the Chaos World developed by Chaos, which is very similar to Warcraft, Jeff is the project leader, and Parkreet and O'Brien participated in the design. Chris himself admitted that they were involved. The development of the Warcraft expansion has progressed a lot, and there are also many new and excellent ideas for the sequel in the pipeline - are you all right, Angie?"
"No, of course it's fine!" Angela knew that her face must be very strange now, after all, Chaos Company and "Chaos World" are really a... In short, the feeling is indescribable, embarrassing, interesting and strange existence .
"I want to know... how he was dug over by Eddard," the girl asked.
"I'm not very clear about the specific situation. It seems that Jeff and Critter are due to the average sales of "Chaos World", and then they disagreed with the top management. Mike left because of their different ideas. Ed is looking for Jeff. Afterwards, Jeff recommended the other two people." Steve paused before saying with a smile, "They are very interested in your story, which is the book "Ten of Azeroth" Story" and thought it would be a good idea to put that stuff into the game!"
Angela tried her best to keep her watch calm, but Ed actually dug over the project host of "Chaos World", and they were still very interested in his book? ! Although the girl doesn't know if these three people have presided over the development of "Warcraft" in the original history, the awkward, funny and weird unspeakable feeling is even stronger!
Here, Jobs coughed lightly, and the girl finally came back to her senses: "Sorry, where did we say that?"
"I have already said what I should say, I don't know what your opinion is." Steve smiled slightly.
"I have no opinion," Angela's answer was very succinct, which made Jobs' eyes widen in disbelief, and the girl shrugged: "You know, I have always supported you, so I have no opinion!"
She couldn't think of anything wrong with doing this, because Angela knew that Pixar's success was not only in the sales of animation, but also in the excellent corporate culture, which was able to retain talent! Interests are important but not the most important. It is not just a slogan to let every employee regard the company as their home! Moreover, issuing equity to retain valuable employees is also something that companies often do. In this case, as long as Pixar can develop smoothly, why would she not agree
Jobs, who had thought it would take a lot of talk, didn't expect to reach a consensus so easily. He immediately relaxed and chatted with Angela, talking about Apple.
"The prospect is not very optimistic. I have made significant adjustments to the development and sales channels of existing products, and at the same time, I have changed the direction of marketing, and carried out drastic reforms to various businesses. Come back to life." Steve said with emotion.
"I heard that Apple's board of directors is very eager to ask you to be CEO. It seems really wise." Angela said with a grin while pinching her chin.
"That's not necessarily true. It takes a lot of money to get through this. There must be enough money to give me room to move around in adjusting the direction of Apple's business," Jobs shook his head. "Someone on the board actually proposed Let Microsoft inject 150 million, what a joke, if you let that guy in Bill put his hand in and want him to retract it, it will be even harder!"
"Wait, Steve!" Angela suddenly stopped him, blinking and something flashed, "150 million liquidity, I have it!"
