Chapter Ninety-One: Chris Weiqi

In the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, Lester and Fields are eating steaks and chatting in a corner of the 21 Club restaurant in New York City.

"Why hasn't it come yet. ”

Fields looked at the watch time: "Two o'clock in the afternoon." They've been waiting here for 30 minutes. ”

"There may be a delay. Lester said casually, his eyes glancing around at the toy hanging overhead.

He was sharp-eyed to find that in addition to ordinary models of cars and airplanes, there were also models of Transformers hanging on them.

It seems that "Transformers" is so hot that even the owner of the 21 Club restaurant likes the Transformers in it.

Fields followed Rice's gaze and said, "You have a good eye, this "Transformers" was developed by you and Hasbro so well." ”

Lester smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not that I developed it well, it's this era that gives "Transformers" the charm it brings." ”

Fields was stunned, he didn't understand much of this, he didn't understand what Lester meant, and nodded in agreement.

"It's coming. Lester looked at the 29-year-old red-haired young man who came in at the door of the 21 Club restaurant and beckoned to the young man who had come over.

The young man hesitated slightly, and then came on foot.

"He's the guy you're looking for. ”

Fields turned his head to look at the young man who was approaching.

"yes, it's the guy I'm looking for, Christwech. Lester said with a look of anticipation in his eyes;

Last week, they sent an invitation to the New York City School of Visual Arts to the youth, and when they agreed to meet them, they flew to Manhattan, New York City.

"I still have homework to give to my students at school. So it's late. ”

The youth came to Lester and Fields and apologized;

"It's alright, Mr. Chris. ”

Lester didn't mind at all, and pointed to the position next to Fields, "Please take a seat!"

"Something needs to come. ”

Lester looked at the waiter who came and asked Chris Wetch.

"I'm not hungry, bring me a glass of juice. ”

Christwich said to the waiter who came to him;

"Send it right away. The waiter turned to get the juice, and Fields did not speak, looking at the young man.

Chris Whitch looked at the 19-year-old Lester and was a little surprised, although the other party's achievements in film, television and comics are still a newcomer, but they definitely have a high popularity in the School of Visual and Arts.

The School of Visual and Arts specializes in training comics, animation and other professionals, and the first two years of "Transformers" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" were developed by Leicester, and many people in the academy watched them, especially the character designers of "Transformers" and "Watchmen" wrote the name of Lestrore, which made some students in the comics department very respected.

Lester let the other party look at it and said, "You accepted my invitation, which means that you value what I have to say to you and how you think about it." ”

Chris Veic didn't give an exact answer, and asked cautiously, "I want to know what your opinion is on the development of animation." ”

Chris Wech had already planned to resign from the School of Visual Arts, and planned to start a studio with his friends with a vision and belief in computer animation.

The invitation letter sent by Lester was in his heart and wanted to get funds from him, but Lester only wrote an invitation to him as the vice president and chief animation engineer of the new animation studio, and did not clearly say the future development, he wanted to know whether Lester had any plans to set up an animation studio, and if not, even if he didn't have much money to open a studio, he would refuse Lester's invitation.

Lester understood his words, and the young man in front of him was the founder of Blue Sky Animation Studios, one of the three major Hollywood animation giants in later generations.

Now Chris Vicki works as a teacher at the School of Visual and Arts, teaching students animation courses.

If it weren't for Chris's reminder, Lester would have remembered the upcoming Pixar animation studio, which reminded him of such an animation and special effects talent.

When the new animation studio was established, it was also the time when the special effects department of Asuka Film and Television was established.

"Your juice. ”

Thank you!

Chris Vic took the waiter's juice and drank it, pricking up his ears to listen to the other man's words.

Lester explains: "It's a time when 2D animation is all the rage, but after the 90s, 3D animation will evolve, and then 2D animation will not be obsolete, but it will also be squeezed and gradually declined. ”

Christwic's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Lester, how did you know that 2D animation will evolve into 3D animation, I remember that 3D animation technology is still developing and has limitations. ”

Chris Whitch has a vision for the future of animation and doesn't want to be limited to old-fashioned 2D animation, but in the current era, 3D software has not been fully developed, and can only be developed continuously to see different animations.

Lester was surprised, thinking that Pixar and DreamWorks had only appeared in the early 90s with full 3D feature animation, and said: "I can't give you an exact answer yet, but in five years, there will definitely be an upgraded version of 3D 3D animation rendering and production." The tone was solemn. ”

Chris Vic was shocked by Lester's words, and the firm tone of the other party made him involuntarily agree.

Lester saw that Chris Wetch was shocked by what he said, and asked quietly: "Then what do you think, join our new animation studio, you are the vice president, and you are in charge of the animation studio, I will not restrict you from what you do!"

In the face of such temptation, Christwich's eyes were a little uncertain, and his head was a little messy, thinking that he would start a job and that he didn't have enough funds, so he still had to prepare funds when the time came, so he gritted his teeth and decided: "I agree to join the animation studio, but I have a suggestion." ”

"You say. Leicester didn't refuse.

was so generous to let him say suggestions, but it made Chris Veic's face red, but he still said: "I want the name of the animation studio to be called Blue Sky Animation Studio, since before the emergence of 3D three-dimensional animation software, you can first establish a special effects department to produce movie special effects." ”

If this is so familiar, Pixar was also helping Hollywood studios make movie special effects when it was first established. Lester nodded: "I agree with you, but the headquarters of Blue Sky Animation Studio is located in California, which is a major animation town. ”

Chris Weich would love for Lester to move the studio in New York, so close to his hometown, but he was only the executive vice president, and most of the money was funded by Leicester, so he had to agree to Lester move the studio in California. ”

The original Blue Sky Animation Studio was not yet staffed, and Lester bought a new four-story office building in Beverly Hills, which would be the headquarters of Blue Sky Animation Studios.

Fields didn't interject during the whole process, and listened to the two talk about 3D animation and other production software, until he took out the contract to sign a contract for Chris Veic, and then said a few words to him. After signing the contract, Blue Sky Animation Studio was officially established, and Chris Wech resigned from the School of Visual and Art and invited his friends and those looking for talents in animation to join Blue Sky Animation Studio.

Lester and Fields flew back to Los Angeles on a plane, just as the Golden Globe Awards for Film and Television were about to begin.

"Help me gather the team to acquire a stake in Autodesk, I want to be one of the shareholders of Autodesk, this is the proposal I wrote, and I think their founders will definitely agree. ”

When the two were about to separate, Lester gave Fields a detailed plan.

"Something to do again. Fields said excitedly;
