我觉得从财务和商业的角度看 pixar 的过去很有意思,尤其我们和 Pixar 一样都是内容驱动的公司,更加有共鸣。
评分[有声书] 很精彩的一本书,来自Pixar前CFO,Lawrence Levy,记录了94年由Steve Jobs的一通电话邀请开始的Pixar之路:支持主创团队的Toy Story制作,让Pixar上市,Toy Story巨大成功之后的与迪士尼的“谈判”(修改合作条款,以让Pixar树立自己的品牌等等),以及05年前后将Pixar卖给迪士尼却依然保持Pixar在创作上的独立性。之前读Pixar CEO,Ed Catmull的Creativity Inc时就觉得Pixar不简单,这次从商业角度更加了解到了Pixar的巨大成功需要多少人的共同努力。Levy后来追随自己的兴趣,研究起了哲学、冥想等和现代社会的接轨。Levy也提到了Pixar的十年给Jobs回归并重启Apple打的重要基础。
评分深入浅出的Pixar历史。呵护梦想尊重现实。离开Pixar之后的转折是大彩蛋
评分虽然是business的书读起来非常流畅甚至有点像小说。从最初的不赚钱的业务,到立足四大业务目标再到一步步上市、被迪士尼收购,作者从CFO的高度介绍分析Pixar非常独特的商业成长历史,提供了很多好莱坞与娱乐界的商业insight。 此外还有作者与乔布斯的合作与交情,玩具总动员的一步步诞生,IPO路上高盛和摩根为了规避风险做出的决定,还有很多作者个人对这个产业与公司的热爱与最后为了寻找人生目标的更多思考。 作者从哈佛到律师到好莱坞商业上的成功再到最后的东方哲学与冥想的追求,真是非常之优秀的当代西方精英。
评分比较好奇Ed Catmull的Creativity, Inc的书中为何对Lawrence Levy只字未提。从这本Levy的书可以从Finance的角度了解Pixar在1995年之后的发展历程。
LAWRENCE LEVY is a Silicon Valley lawyer and executive hired by Steve Jobs in 1994 as CFO and member of the Office of the President of Pixar Animation Studios. He was responsible for Pixar's business strategy and IPO and guided Pixar's transformation from a money-losing graphics company into a multibillion-dollar entertainment studio. He later joined Pixar's board of directors. He then left corporate life to study Eastern philosophy and meditation and their relevance to modern life. He now writes and teaches on this topic and cofounded Juniper Foundation to pursue this work. Originally from London, England, he earned degrees from Indiana University and Harvard Law School. He lives with his wife, Hillary, in Palo Alto, California.
The never-before-told story of Pixar's improbable success.
“Hi, Lawrence?” the caller asked. “This is Steve Jobs. I saw your picture in a magazine a few years ago and thought we’d work together someday.”
After Steve Jobs was unceremoniously dismissed from Apple, he turned his attention to a little-known graphics art company that he owned called Pixar.
One day, out of the blue, Jobs called Lawrence Levy, a Harvard-trained lawyer and Silicon Valley executive to whom he had never spoken before, in the hope of persuading Levy to help him get Pixar on the right track.
What Levy found in Pixar was a company on the verge of failure. To Pixar and Beyond is the extraordinary story of what happened next: How Levy, working closely with Jobs and the Pixar team, produced and implemented a highly improbable roadmap that transformed the sleepy graphics art studio into one of Hollywood’s greatest success stories.
Set in the worlds of Silicon Valley and Hollywood, the book takes readers inside Pixar, Disney, law firms, and investment banks. It provides an up-close, first-hand account of Pixar’s stunning ascent, how it took risks, Levy’s enduring collaboration and friendship with Jobs, and how Levy came to see in Pixar deeper parallels that apply to all aspects of our lives.
和合伙人谈拆分业务的这天早上,摔碎了一个杯子。 好像是冥冥之中的启示,是时候开启另一段经历的契机了吧。 广告公司运营两年,并不太成功。自我反省过,其中有情绪化的成分掺杂,但基本主客观原因还是非常清晰的。 回过来看这本书,我觉得对任何创业者来说,确实提供了另一个...
评分书中提到的皮克斯如何从一个快要倒闭的公司最终上司,制作的动画电影如何打破票房纪录并获得成功很精彩;作者讲述的与乔布斯的工作和生活中的故事也很真挚。但让我印象更深刻是作者的抉择:1、选择加入皮克斯。2、管理上决定把动画制作的权利真正交给专业的人,并保持动画制作...
