Chapter Ninety-Seven: Six Scripts Launched
"Alright, let's start announcing our main thing!"
In the conference room, Lester finished setting things up before moving on to the main issues.
"It's the theme's turn. ”
Hearing this, everyone already understood what plan Lester was going to start again.
The same was true last year, when a meeting was held to develop new areas for the company, and it also made Flying Bird Film and Television gain a lot.
As a newcomer, Chris Veic didn't quite understand the excited looks of the other people, but he felt that when he talked about this, everyone was excited and full of energy.
"Boss, what's the theme this time. ”
Dimes was a little impatient to know what Lester had announced.
"Animated film theme. ”
After Lester's words, Diemston languished and wailed, "Why is it an animated movie theme?" ”
Lester smiled and said, "The production of "Field Platoon" and "Beach Rescue", as well as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", is enough for you to keep busy, and you are still thinking about other things. ”
Deems's motivation really makes Leicester happy to have such an employee.
"It's different. Dimes shook his head and said: ""Beach Rescue" has been taken over by Frank Marshall, "Field Platoon" Oliver is about to start filming, as for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", according to the words of director Robert Zemeckis, it will not start until May. ”
"That's it! You give me an open casting for this "Die Hard". ”
Lester gives Die Hard to Deames.
Listening to the words of the two, Chris Veic was shocked and looked at him with bright eyes.
Blue Sky Animation Studio already has the animation and special effects work of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", and this time Lester talked about the theme of the animated film again, and Chris Vicch was looking forward to it.
"Mr. Chris Welch. ”
Lester shouted, and Christwich looked at him with burning eyes.
Lester spoke under the gaze of Christwich, "This is the script for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and the script for "Beauty and the Beast", you see." ”
The two scripts were placed in front of Christwic, and there were intricately drawn character drawings on delicate paper.
Chris Wech curiously flipped through the script of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and after reading it, his face was resistant: "I prefer to make animated movies, although "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is a hot comic at the moment, but if I am asked to make a TV series, those things in the future... With a bitter face, he wanted Lester to take it back. ”
Lester waved his hand and said, "You have someone to adapt and shoot the animated series of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" according to the comics and scripts, and you are watching the next one." ”
Chris Veitch breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't have time to make animated series, he only had a burning heart for animated films.
Pick up the script of "Beauty and the Beast" and read it, it tells the story of a prince who has been turned into a beast, and Belle, a girl who came to live in the castle to save her father, they gradually fall in love with each other, and finally the beast successfully dismantles the magic and lives with Belle.
"The prince becomes a beast, and Belle is in love with the beast. ”
The story made Chris Witch's eyes light up.
According to the requirements of this script, Chris Wech understood that this was a 2D animated film, and in the case of 3D technology unsuccessful, it was a good note to shoot a 2D animated film first.
"How much money was invested in the shooting. ”
Christwich looked up and asked;
"$2.5 million funding launched. Lester's words surprised several people.
"$2.5 million is not too much. ”
Dimes took the script from Chris Veic's hand and was a little puzzled.
None of the films produced by Asuka Film and Television in the past two years have not been shot with a budget of 10 million to 30 million US dollars, but it is the first time that Lester has invested so little money in filming.
In addition to Chris Vicch and Chris, who runs the comic book department, several other people who don't understand animated movies obviously don't understand very well.
"Mr. Christwich, you give us a science popularization. Leicester saw that several people were looking at him ignorantly, and threw the question to Chris Wych.
"It's like this... Chris Vicki took the script that was transferred to him again, "According to the character script of "Beauty and the Beast" drawn by Lester, everyone needs to make props in popular science. ”
Under Chris Welch's explanation, several people gradually have a clear identity for animated films.
"This script will be a good start for our Blue Sky Animation Studio, and after the meeting, you will start filming this "Beauty and the Beast", and when you finish making it, it will also be the start time of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". ”
Lester waited for Chris Swic to finish explaining, and immediately gave him a charter.
At this point, the theme of the animated film is almost over, and after Lester asks them to go down to do something, he walks into the office and thinks about how to shoot "Die Hard".
……
At the time of Leicester Thinker's "Die Hard", on Saint Jude Road in Mill Valley, California, the executives of Autodesk's headquarters suddenly received a notice from the founder that someone wanted to buy shares and take ownership of their company, which made them a little incredible.
When they gathered in the conference room, they had to believe that someone really wanted to join their company.
In the long conference room, Fields led the team to sit in front of Autodesk's executives, looking at the people opposite with great momentum.
According to Fields' investigation, this is a group of high-level people composed of computer technology talents, and the management department is a group of loose and inflexible people.
This Ote company, just like their Bird Film and Television, has only been developing for five years, and has achieved great success, if Leicester had not asked him to buy it, he would not have known that there would be such a company with strong development momentum.
The only drawback is that the team of only 17 people is not very well funded.
John Walker, the founder of Autodesk, looked at the plan brought by Fields, and the difference between his mood and face at this time was that as he looked through the plan written by Lester, he was a little shocked by the innovation ability provided in the plan.
"This is what Mr. Leicester wrote. ”
After reading it, John Walker looked uncertain and asked with questions;
"This book was made by Mr. Lester. Fields said again impatiently;
John Walker started by reading the plan book and asked every few minutes.
After getting Fields' confirmation, John Walker gasped a little, and took the plan to several high-level executives who had been questioning below. Let them watch.
Lester's plan book passed into the hands of every one of Autodesk's executives, and when they read it, they all had the same look as John Walker.
They are all computer technology talents, so they can naturally understand the plan written by Lester.
For a while, everyone whispered, and Fields watched from the side without disturbing them.
After 20 minutes, John Walker finally gave Fields a month's answer: "We need to have an internal meeting." ”
