Chapter Ninety-Four: Blue Sky

After the Golden Globe Awards, the winners were known under the coverage of the Foreign Correspondents' Association.

"ER: Story" won the drama series award, and the latest episode aired in the first week reached 25.6 million viewers, and director Rob Hall Combo immediately filmed the second season of "ER: Story".

Its superb ratings made TV stations in nearby countries come over and want to bring in broadcast rights, Frank Marshall did not expect that soon after the end of the Golden Globe Awards, there would be TV stations from other countries to introduce broadcast rights, after the successful deal, a look of excitement.

In the twenty days since the end of the Golden Globe Awards, Blue Sky Animation Studios has finally gathered 68 employees, half of whom are the small animation studios that were acquired and the people brought by Chris Wetch.

The number of employees is just enough to produce animation, but Asuka Film is still recruiting animation technicians from the animation industry.

The 68-bit number may be enough for a new animation studio, but it is obviously not enough for the many animations and films that Leicester is going to launch.

The reason why Disney has been able to produce a number of high-volume animated films that sell well and sell well in a few years is that in addition to the CEO's vision and means, Disney has more than 100 employees, and the employees gathered are very talented, and sometimes they cooperate with foreign animation studios.

Under the office building of the Beverly Hills Blue Sky Animation Studio, Lester drove a Lamborghini to the door, and saw a truck carrying computers, models and other things parked outside the door.

"Move these things in for me and put them away, put them carefully, don't break them for me. ”

After Dimes and Christwich had checked that everything they wanted was complete, Christwich said to the man who moved the things as if he loved a treasure;

Chris Weich was so excited about the new computer and other animation technology that he reported the things he needed to Lester, but within a week, all these things were available, and some of them were still new and bought by Lester.

"Boss, here's the list of employees. ”

Dimes saw Lester coming and handed the list to Lester with his hand.

"Give me a call to Emmanuel and say I'm looking for him and ask him to come to Blue Sky Animation Studio with what I need. ”

Lester looked at the list in his hand and said to Dims;

"I'll hit right away. Dimes took out the phone and dialed Emmanuel.

Lester looked at the names of the employees on the list, and turned to Chris Wech, who was looking at the objects, "Go and see the employees." As he spoke, he walked inside, and Christwich followed.

In the office space on the second floor, employees are excitedly fiddling with the computers and other things they have just arrived.

"The boss is here. ”

Some employees saw Chris Vicch and Leicester coming up, reminding those who didn't see it.

Everyone looked at Leicester and Christwech, and the two in front of them would be their president and vice president.

"Everyone. Lester clapped his palms to attract their attention, and said: "You are all animation technical talents that I and Christwech have recruited, some of you have done film special effects, and some have just graduated, since you have come to me, I will not treat you badly, and make achievements for Blue Sky Animation Studio together, you are no worse than Disney." ”

"Bang Bang!" the employees applauded with a smile on their faces, and warm applause rang out in the office.

After the applause was quiet, Lester continued to interact with the staff.

Leicester, who had no frame at all, gained the impression of the friendliness of the staff, and it was not until Dimes said that Emmanuel had arrived that Lester stopped interacting with the staff.

"Let's get to work!" Lester said goodbye to the staff, and to their applause, he took the elevator to the third floor.

In Chris Welch's office, Emmanuel looked curiously at the images of animated characters pasted on the drawing board.

Unlike Lester's comic book images, Chris Wetsch's character images are professionally animated with angled lines.

The styles of the two are completely different and very different.

Dada!

Hearing footsteps outside, Emmanuel turned his head to look at the people who had entered.

"Emmanuel, do you want anything I want? ”

Lester sat in his chair and exclaimed;

"This is the novel "Who Censored Roger Rabbit" you wanted, and I have already taken the copyright. ”

Emmanuel picked up a thick book of fiction on the couch and placed it in front of Lester.

"Did it go well!"

Lester flipped through the books of fiction and asked casually;

Lester didn't ask, but when he asked Emmanuel to think of something funny, he smiled under the gaze of the three of them: "The copyright was won very smoothly, you know, I just took the copyright, and Disney's CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg came to buy the copyright." ”

"Then he must be very depressed. ”

Chris Vic shifted the way;

Lester was surprised, looked up and asked, "Did he say anything?" ”

It is impossible for such a shrewd person to be taken from him what he fancies.

Jeffrey Katzenberg may not be very clear to many people, but when it comes to DreamWorks, absolutely many people know that he is one of the founders of DreamWorks, Lester once wanted to invite him to be the CEO of the animation studio, but when he learned that he worked at Disney, he had to give him up.

"He wanted to take the copyright of the film and peripherals from me, but I refused, and in the end he had to give up and didn't say much. Emmanuel scoffed.

"That's fine. Lester breathed a sigh of relief, after all, to shoot this film, the cartoon city scene in it could only be completed in Disney Park, turned to Chris Weiqi and Deems, put the book in front of the two and said: "This "Who Censored Roger the Rabbit" novel I plan to make a live-action animated film that combines live-action and animation. ”

Christwich's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "New model concept." ”

"Yes. Lester nodded, took the written script and ideas and put them on the novel book and said: "The film can't be the same as the name of the novel book, change it to "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", this is the script I wrote and the ideas provided, you see." ”

Chris hurriedly picked up the animation idea and flipped through it.

"Who the director is looking for, or the boss, you shoot it yourself. Dimes asked with concern;

"I'm not going to shoot, I have other plans. Lester shook his head: "I'll give you a choice, let Robert Zemeckis direct, he is the only director of our Bird Film and Television who has signed a long-term cooperation." ”

"I'm going to contact him. Dimes couldn't wait to take the script and inform Robert Zemeckis.

"It's a great idea. ”

Chris Vic put down the paper with the animation idea written in his hand.

"It's great, let me tell you......

Lester communicated what he wanted to Chritch, and Emmanuel didn't interject, listening to the two of them.

The new coagulation of "Who Framed Roger Without a Child" is very fresh, and no one in Hollywood has ever created another type of film like this, which makes Chris Witch impressed with Lester.

It didn't take a while. Dimes, who had informed Robert Zemeckis, turned back to the office.

Before Dims's ass was hot, Lester said: "Call the assistant and ask her to inform Paula Wagner and the finance department to have a meeting with Townreid, who has just returned, the day after tomorrow, and Frank Marshall and Fields don't need to be informed, the two are busy with other things." After speaking, Lester looked at Chris Vicki and said, "You also come, this meeting is about the animation studio." ”

Didi!

As he was talking, Lester felt the Motorola mobile phone in his black leather bag ring, opened it, and Bruce Willis said on the other side: "I agree to your invitation, and I will go to your company to sign a contract tomorrow." ”
