Great ese theater.
The following minutes were intended for brief meetings that opehe spectrum of Lux Animation. Two clear principles stood out: Lux Animation's primary principle is the exploitation of animation as its main source. Its primary petitor is Disney. However, Disney achieves success through other means beyond basiimatirams for market exploitation. The first case uses live-a programs, sits, and programs for a female audience, along with edies and a unique nod to princesses.
-Thank you very much for your sideration, Miss Grushow. All your ideas have been satisfactory. Our idea only seeks 2D animation. With the adva of teology, our pany's focus is to deliver the y of a better animation process. Just as bd white television was pletely overshadowed by color television in the past, the cartoons that ruled Hanna-Barbera during the 60s and 70s now, with the adva of teology, have already been demonstrated with Pixar films. Even Disney has used our software to make movies, - said Jim.
-Disney has used your software, it 't be true, - said Sandra Grushow.
-With the Caps program brought from Pixar, we sold our hardware unit, but we lised the software for a pittance. In Disney's early days, there was a smear campaign by Disney about the cost. In 1988, the Caps software was sold after a financial crisis... They have been using that software for movies like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King, - said Jim Gianopulus.
-You're suggesting... - said Sandra Grushow.
-e on, Sandra, I've worked for you for the past eight years. I'm not lying. We'll share the pn we've announced. It is well known that if you want to use an animation pany, you want to buy an animation pany. I say go ahead. If you need our softn and agreements at a fair price, we are willing to share teology, - said Jim.
-Thank you very much for your sideration. It's clear to me that there is a desire for cooperation, although the price is expensive, - said Sandra Grushow.
-You use the software by subscription for a year for 2D animation services. I uand that it's a shorter and more eical service. We make updates every year, i muoney, equipment, and personnel in software development, and colborate with uies so that graduates and active animators attend a course. If your pany tacts us, you get school subscriptions at 50%, we have an agreement, - said Jim, pausing for effect. -One million per year. -
-That's an idea I like better, - said Sandra.
-Will my boss know about this? You have a high taste for 'The Simpsons' series. With our teology, you save costs, from pns to saving and reusing ses. The program is good, you take a free two-month trial, - said Jim, driving home the final point in the iation. They only o showcase their service.
-And for the big 3D animation, you make the same offer? - asked Sandra.
-Of course! We want pahat tract with the pany to use the test in teology for a price. Tell me something, when were color cameras born, the y was there, and monopolizing is not Ameri. What matters are the stories told uhe teology. Disney has always kept teology close to its chest; we just want to tell the best stories, - said Jim Gianopulus.
-Thank you, Jim. At Fox, we sider the proposal valuable, - said Sandra Bushow.
Itent due to the tradi of the words offered by Disney and Warhe delivery of 3D teology, and exging market positions, the only advantage Pixar had in the eyes of Fox was the advaeology, the rest was history. If they could appropriate the teology and copy it, they could advance leaps and bounds in the creation of animated films.
**************************************************************
While Jim Gianopulus iated with Fox, Raimoiated with Universal. From Universal, access to teology for the creation of 3D animation was an important source. If they wao create an animation studio, teological advances were their own, part of the hat ges advances and siderations. Ron was at the table, thanks to Steven, who may have mentiohat Billy was willing to export teology to the major animation houses. The offer eveeo Warner and Disney, in a free market enterprise.
A very good move! If Ron Meyer approves, the boy will sell the teology and give time for pao use the lise and start w on their equipment. Although not easy, with a little iment, it is enough to copy the model and work from there. If Lux Animation has any problem with that, they meet in court. However, Billy from Lux Animation has been very secretive about his pns and hasn't shared them with anyone.
The price of eight million dolrs for all the software, to multiple panies, will cover expenses for two years, but avoid some enemies. What is Billy's pn? Raimon has a slight outline; Billy knows he will win the war of animated films and television series.
-I was hoping the deal would be closed with Jim Gianopulus, - said Ron Meyer.
-He's quite busy; however, I step in for Jim in every way, - said Raimon, unaware of the figure they had in front of them. Steven was absent, and only one person apanied him, a very beautiful secretary, blond with green eyes, which made Raimon blush upon seeing her.
-Take a seat, - said Ron Meyer, extending his hand to Raimon. - gratutions in advance for the premiere of your animated el. I saw potential in your cartoons. -
At Billy's request, Raimon's following words caught Ron off guard.
-You have some programs on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, in the family programming block. Only a select few, but you're always wele a special lise, - said Raimon, driving the final nail into Ron Meyer, who was now sure of Steven's supportive words about the boy.
-Send me an offer with the details and programs; we'll discuss that more calmly ter. Right now, I'm ied in the creation of 2D animation that you have developed, - said Ron Meyer.
-We offer a subscription system, year to year for 2D animation service, stant updates to the serviillion per year. The subscription es with a 50% dist on uy course enrollments. These enrollments are a bomb on taxes and social development. We have another pn that includes 2D and 3D, for three years for 8 million dolrs, the annual price is 4 million, but the offer is as a trial to demonstrate our update services and to establish longer retionships, - said Raimon.
It-A a bit pricey. But the promise is the test in teology, - said Ron Meyer.
-Yes, so far, the service has beeed with the chess video of the two old men; that's all romise, with slight updates for the wo years, with slight updates. You'll see, our software development has been plicated and borious, - said Raimon.
-Very well, young man. I'll review the offer more carefully with a specialized team, - said Ron Meyer, shaking hands with Raimon, while the beautiful assistant took notes in an agenda.
-You review a small rec we took, so you evaluate the quality of each of the animations. I say that we are at the forefront of 3D animation teology, - said Raimon.
-Jennifer, fetch the video, dear, - said Ron Meyer, turning back to see Steven having a gss of wih aive from Paramount. He caught Ron's signal. On October 12, 1994, Dreamworks was founded. He had already iated with HBO the creation of some important series for the development of a movie, and some series. The pany would start surrounding itself with panies, and Hollywood's Midas touch would only be present in many activities, running on its own.
