Chapter 467: How Can You Be Like This
The Firefly's studio base is larger than the Universal Studios and Warner Studios in Burbank combined, and the base park is also well divided, and near ten o'clock, a Chevrolet SUV and another red BMW sedan drove into the park, parked in the parking lot of the digital office area, two car doors opened, and five women stepped out of the two cars.
Even though I am used to seeing all kinds of beauties at the studio base, the appearance of five women still attracts the attention of many passing employees.
Julia didn't like the gazes of passers-by around her, so she got into the SUV and asked, "Liz, where are my sunglasses?"
Elizabeth took off a Ray-Ban glasses hanging from her chest and put them on, saying, "How do I know!"
"I remember what I put in ......" Julia looked up in distress, and at a glance she saw Elizabeth's sunglasses, and was stunned, and then pounced: "Okay, give it back to me." β
Elizabeth dodged with a grin: "If you don't pay it back, you have the ability to rob it." β
"That's naΓ―ve," Drew complained to Tina Fey and Claudia Schiffer as he got out of the BMW sedan behind him, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Eric walk out of the digital studio not far away, but Elizabeth and Julia, who were giggling, did not see Eric because the big Chevrolet SUV blocked the view.
Drew gave a wicked smile, reached out and stabbed the two girls beside him, and then pointed to Julia and Elizabeth, who were playing not far away: "Hey, let you watch a good show." β
Tina Fey pursed her lips and smiled, and Claudia Schiffer wondered, "What's the show?"
"Just take a serious look. Drew pointed in the direction of the two women. Eric was on the other side of Elizabeth and Julia's SUV by this time.
Tina Fey and Claudia Schiffer both stared intently in that direction. Eric spun from the front of the SUV, appeared in front of Elizabeth and Julia, and said something. Then, they saw that the two women, who had been entangled, quickly separated, Elizabeth was better and opened her mouth to greet Eric, while Julia, who had just been playing with Elizabeth with a big grin, seemed to shrink her whole body, giving people the feeling of a little mouse pressed under the cat's paws.
"How. Fun, right?" Drew laughed heartlessly.
Claudia Schiffer held back the smile on her lips and asked suspiciously, "Why does Julia seem to be afraid of Williams?"
Drew shrugged her shoulders, she also found out about this situation by accident, and asked Eric why, but only got a burst: "It shouldn't be afraid, but I don't know what it is, if you want to know, you can ask Eric." β
Claudia gave Drew a blank look: "Why don't you ask yourself?"
Next to the SUV, Eric asked a few words, grabbed Elizabeth and took off the sunglasses and handed them to Julia before waving to this side.
"It's ten o'clock. Why are you here now?" Eric greeted and asked casually. Take the girls and walk towards the studio in the digital realm.
Drew ignored the gazes of others, hung affectionately on Eric's arm, and said, "There is a traffic jam on the road, the street is so lively today, don't you see?"
Eric nodded, not saying anything more.
The main office area for digital employees is three standard commercial lofts with two floors, which are eight meters wide and more than 30 meters long, and each building can accommodate up to 200 people working at the same time.
Tina Fey followed Eric into the studios, looking at the beautifully decorated open office area and the digital employees shuttling in front of her, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
When Eric heard Tina Fey's voice, he smiled and turned his head and asked, "Do you envy their working environment?"
Tina Fay smiled and nodded, the newspaper where she used to work, more than a dozen employees were crammed into a small office together, and many colleagues dream of one day having a more spacious office space.
"If you want, you can experience it here for a while in the future," Eric said casually.
Tina Fey shook her head again and gestured to the special effects artist in a cubicle on the left, who was working in front of the computer: "I don't know that." β
"It takes a while to learn the Maya software used to develop special effects in the digital realm, and besides, you can also draw, which is considered to be a foundation. β
As Eric spoke, a slender hand reached over, pinched his arm slightly, and whispered in his ear, "How do you know she can draw?"
Eric pushed Elizabeth's face away from his ear: "So many people are watching, pay attention to the impact." β
Elizabeth snorted softly and pulled Julia away from Eric a meter away to show her displeasure.
Eric didn't care, and said, "Jeffrey will come over later, let's go see the later stage of "Strange Jack in Disguise" first." β
There are not many special effects shots in "Strange Guy in Disguise", but the special effects style is very cartoonish, and in order to solve this problem, the digital field specially seconded two animators from Pixar to come over and design the shots together.
After checking the progress of the special effects of "Strange Heroes in Disguise", several women were very interested in the technology of combining special effects pictures with live-action scenes, and they came to the special effects artist to ask questions, although Eric couldn't do it himself, but he already knew the principles of these technologies well, and he didn't come over to see the excitement, he walked to the staff cafΓ© alone, asked for a cup of coffee, took a movie magazine, and read it by himself.
After Elizabeth watched the special effects artist demonstrate how to handle a shot, she turned her head to look and found that Eric was missing, and she followed her out, asked a few people, and found Eric sitting alone in the cafΓ©. Asking the bartender for a cup of coffee, Elizabeth walked over to Eric and sat down across from him, staring at Eric intently, with a 'I know what you've done' smile on her lips.
Eric looked at the magazine in front of him without looking up, and after a while, he saw a consultation that he was very interested in. He said, "Go and help me find a pen." β
Elizabeth was a little discouraged. His posture was in vain. Angrily standing up and walking to the work area, he borrowed a pen and paper from a staff member and threw it in front of Eric.
Eric picked up the pen and recorded it quickly, as he said, "Look at the look of anticipation you just now, just say what you want to say." β
"Hmph, I've found out about you and Colombia," Elizabeth said in a 'come and please me, or the queen will speak out'.
It took a long time for Eric to react and spit out a word, "Oh." β
"......" Elizabeth resisted the urge to spill the coffee in her hand, "aren't you nervous?"
Eric finished transcribing the message from the magazine. After folding it and putting it in his shirt pocket, he said, "You don't think Hollywood is just a smart person, do you?"
"Wouldn't you have to worry more about people telling you?"
"Of course don't worry, I have all the distribution resources of Colombia in South America, and the next is the most important Europe, even if someone wants to make trouble, without any evidence, Sony receives the information, and then investigates, and when they find out the truth of the matter, Firefly has almost also obtained part of Colombia's distribution resources in Europe. The distribution channels of the remaining Southeast Asian countries can be taken as long as they can, and if they can't, forget it. Sony was clear at the time. The matter has become a fact, tearing the face is not beneficial to both parties, even if they fight a lawsuit, they will not be able to win, so they will be determined to lose this dumb man. β
"I can't help but want to compliment you," Elizabeth said sarcastically.
Eric said: "In the end, the Japanese are just outsiders, if it is a local American company, this kind of thing will definitely not be possible, wait and see, Sony and Panasonic, these two companies have not been in Hollywood for a long time, even if they barely adapt, they will not have much achievement, because once they want to diversify like Warner, they will definitely be constrained by all aspects, and in the end they can only stick to the relatively low-profit business of film production." β
"News Corp. is an outsider, too," Elizabeth retorted with some smugness.
Eric glanced at the girl: "How many times has your old man changed his nationality?"
Elizabeth choked on her, as if she had swallowed a large boiled duck egg.
Jeffrey soon arrives in Preavista, where Eric takes his daughters and Jeffrey to the dinosaur model studio, led by Stan Winston himself.
Among the dinosaur models, the most important is of course the Tyrannosaurus rex, in addition to the sick triceratops.
"Wow, come and see, this eye looks like it's real," Drew excitedly walked around the studio, quickly caught the eye of a mechanical eyeball the size of an orange.
Under the manipulation of the modeler, the mechanically controlled eyeball can not only blink, but also the pupil can expand and contract freely, which is simply exquisite.
"These are just gadgets, Miss Barrymore, come with me, and we'll go and see the big one," Stan Winston said with a smirk smile.
The group walked into a large warehouse, and a model of a Tyrannosaurus rex that had begun to take shape appeared in front of them, and five or six modelers were busy on the scaffolding that had been erected.
"This Tyrannosaurus rex is 13 meters long and 5 meters high, and we plan to use 40 hydraulic transmissions to operate it......" Stan Winston explained with some excitement as he stood next to Eric, although he was a top model special effects artist, it was the first time that he had made such a behemoth as ZuΓ², even the alien queen a few years ago, was not as shocked as this Tyrannosaurus rex. After all, the Alien Queen is just a fictional creature, while the Tyrannosaurus Rex is a real creature in the history of the earth.
Eric looked at the unpainted white Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of him and asked, "Can it be done by June?"
Stan Winston knew that Eric was planning to start it at the end of June and nodded, "No problem"
"What about CG special effects?"
"It's complicated," says Stan Winston, "and if you model it out of thin air, you need to do a lot of calculations and render tests on the material of the dinosaur skin in order to achieve a more realistic effect, which is expensive and time-consuming, so they recently came up with the idea of using a laser scanner to scan the entity into the computer after the model is made, which can reduce a lot of work." β
Eric was satisfied: "This is a good idea, don't worry about the funds, as long as it is necessary to spend, the fireflies will definitely support it." β
It was noon, and after lunch in the base's cafeteria, Eric spent the afternoon discussing the design details of the dinosaur model with Stan Winston.
I don't know how long it was, Eric and Stan Winston were standing under the Tyrannosaurus Rex model, talking to a blueprint in Stan Winston's hand, and a group of girls who had been walking around the base all afternoon appeared in front of him again.
Stan Winston shrugged when he saw Eric surrounded by a flock of warblers, and walked over to Jeffrey.
"Eric, it's past four o'clock, we're going home. β
Unexpectedly, a day passed like this, and Eric just opened his mouth when he suddenly remembered why he was here today. Raising his wrist and looking at his watch, it was already 4:50, and now the verdict in Rodney King's case should have been announced, but he had not heard any news of the riot.
From Preavista to Beverly Hills, you must pass through downtown Los Angeles, and there are still a few big girls in front of you, if you are surrounded by thugs, then the end will be ......
Eric couldn't help but shudder, looked at the beautiful faces in front of him and said, "Don't go back tonight, let's go to my place together in a while." β
Hearing this, the five women immediately looked at each other, Drew looked indifferent, and even a little excited, Julia shrunk her neck, Elizabeth glared at him dissatisfied, and said that she was really getting more and more bastard, and Tina Fey and Claudia Schiffer had a little crimson on their faces.
"Eric, Emma, Emma is still at home. Julia said weakly.
"Isn't there a nanny watching, it's fine. β
Elizabeth couldn't stand it anymore, and pulled Julia and said, "We won't mess around with you, I'm going back with Julia." β
Eric also knew that the women's minds were a little crooked, but, no matter what, it was impossible for him to let a few women go at this time, seeing that Elizabeth was leaving, Eric reached out and fished Julia over: "If you want to go, you can go by yourself, Julia stays here." β
"You...... How can you do that!" Elizabeth stomped her foot, but did not move any more.
"That's it, I'll call the manor's helicopter to pick us up," Eric didn't look at Elizabeth's face again, took out his phone and dialed the number. (To be continued......)
