Perfect Superstar

Flushing Art Park in the northwest suburbs of Los Angeles.

There are no high-rise buildings in the city. A three-and-four-storey, artistic building is set amidst the green shades. The clean roads are spacious and straight, and there is a quietness away from the bustling.

But this art park adjacent to Hollywood is an indispensable part of American cinema, with dozens of special effects production companies and studios, and the annual production value is amazing.

The blue sky digital special effects production studio that Lu Chen will examine is one of the best.

This special effects studio is very young, only 5 years old, but has been involved in the production of many Hollywood blockbusters, with a passionate team.

And the members of the Blue Sky special effects are very young. The three co-founders Mill, Andrew and Christopher are graduates of the University of Southern California, the oldest is only 29 years old.

Based on the above reasons, Li Chate intends to recommend Lantian special effects to Lu Chen as a partner of Chenfei Media, rather than other old-fashioned but more powerful special effects companies.

Because the old companies are often arrogant, they like to make money from the Chinese, but they are not willing to exchange their own technology. Even if they are willing to sell some shares, they are often lions.

The blue sky special effects are also facing financial problems. This studio does not have the problems of big companies. It is undoubtedly a very suitable cooperation object for Chenfei Media.

The only problem is that the blue sky special effects are not well known in the industry. There are not many people in the country who know its name, but Li Cha guarantees their standard.

If it wasn't for the DreamWorks that just received an advertising business to complete, Licha flew in person.

Jenny’s car stopped in front of a 4-storey building.

This circular building looks like a flying saucer. The silver-gray glass curtain wall on the surface shines in the sunlight. The monument standing in front of the entrance gate is inlaid with a row of logos and names of different companies.

Blue Sky Studio is located on the third floor of the building.

Under the guidance of Jenny, Lu Chen and Chen Feier took the elevator to the destination.

The elevator door just opened, the camera's flash immediately lit up, and Lu Chen was shocked!

I saw a group of young men and women in the elevator hall, they either carry a SLR camera, or hold a mobile phone, a cheerful and onlookers.

“Mr. Lu Chen, welcome to our Blue Sky Studio!”

A young man in a blue t-shirt jeans took the lead and smiled and reached out to Lu Chen.

Jenny just stepped out of the elevator door, and she immediately introduced to Lu Chen: "This is our studio's ceo miljoy."

Lu Chen stunned and reached out and shook hands: "I am very glad to meet you, Mr. Miljois."

"Call me mil, you can..."

Mil smiled and said: "They are all my colleagues. I heard that you are coming over and welcome you!"

This is undoubtedly the aura of "heroes"!

Lu Chen smiled and said: "How are you..."

It’s not a good idea for Lu Chen to say hello. The staff of these blue sky studios have been surrounded up, surrounded by fans like a star, asking for a signature, seeking a photo, and embracing!

Then upload the photos to their respective t-waves.

Lu Chen did not expect such Americans to be so enthusiastic, but he was used to similar scenes after all, and he was able to cope with them with ease. They satisfied their requirements and made the atmosphere very harmonious.

This also shows that the blue sky studio is different from the big company, the atmosphere is more relaxed, and the boss and the employee are more like close friends than the strict superiors.

After a simple and warm welcome, Mill introduced several important members of the studio to Lu Chen, including his partner and chief effector Christopher.

Christopher is a very awkward young man. He is not tall and thin, with a pair of big black-rimmed glasses, his face is still full of acne, and his speech is stuttering.

However, Li Cha is very respectful of Christopher. He told Lu Chen on the phone that the 25-year-old young man is definitely a genius in special effects production. Half of the value of the Blue Sky Studio is on him!

Therefore, Lu Chen was very polite to Christopher, but it made Christopher a bit flattered.

Accompanied by Mil, Christopher and others, Lu Chen and Chen Feier visited the studio together.

The scale of the Blue Sky Studio is not very large. The current number of employees is less than 200. Compared with the large companies that have hundreds of thousands of people, the operating space leased is also small, and the interior is quite crowded.

However, the hardware level of this company is first-class, the workstations for special effects production are new, the computing power is very powerful, and they also have the proud digital synthesis software zpdt.

This digital compositing software is undoubtedly the core technology of Blue Sky Studio. It was developed by the three co-founders for a total of five years, and has been successfully applied to the special effects production of many film and television works, which has won a very good response. .

Compared with the industry's top-class software, zpdt has no technical advantages, even detailed processing and rendering effects, but its advantages are not difficult to learn, low cost of use, in other words The price is very high.

And Blue Sky Studio also intends to further develop a more advanced version of zpdt, but lacks sufficient funds.

At present, there are a lot of special effects production companies and studios in Hollywood. The competition between them is very fierce. If a small company like Blue Sky Studio can't maintain continuous technological progress and win more business, the result is not closed bankruptcy. It was swallowed up by big companies.

The two are obviously not what the three founders would like to see, so they urgently need foreign investment.

Mill's enthusiasm for Lu Chen is not only because he is now a hot hero.

Lu Chen has money!

The blue sky studio ceo had already learned about the strength of Chenfei Media through Licha, which is definitely not the owner of the money, so he made all the hard work to talk about his own technical strength and good prospects.

To this end, he asked Christopher to show Lu Chen the effects of the latest 75 version of zpdt.

Not only that, Mill also took Lu Chen to the only digital studio in the studio, let the latter personally experience the motion capture technology developed by the studio relying on zpdt!

These days, due to illness and weakness, I am now a lot better, and I will resume normal updates in a few days. Thank you for your support and suggestions in the book review area. (To be continued.)
