China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 162 Blue Sky Studio

Blue Sky Studios, whose parent company is Twentieth Century Fox.

It can be regarded as a second-tier animation production company in Hollywood, and it cannot be compared with Pixar and DreamWorks in terms of scale and output.

But with several high-quality animations such as "Ice Age 1/2" and "Robot Adventure", they have gained a place in the highly competitive animation industry.

Its development momentum has been very good in recent years, and it is a new force that has sprung up in the Hollywood animation market.

Pretty Country, New York.

On the way to the headquarters of Blue Sky Studio, the manager Spart who facilitated the meeting introduced Blue Sky Studio to He Hua and others in detail, and Liu Yifei acted as an interpreter in the middle.

When they arrived at the place, He Hua and others got out of the car and looked at the office building with the BLUE SKY display board in front of them, showing envy.

"Damn it, no wonder the foreigner's animation is so good, he's really rich." Dumpling separated enviously.

And Yu Yang comforted everyone: "There will be, and we will have some."

"Yes, sooner or later, we will have our own building, preferably in the shape of a lighthouse, so that people can recognize it at a glance."

He Hua was also drawing big cakes for everyone, while Liu Yifei turned sideways and looked at her boyfriend with crystal clear eyes.

It's just that He Hua's attention was all on the upcoming meeting, and he didn't notice the situation of his girlfriend, otherwise he would have to go over and kiss her little mouth a few times.

After a brief communication with the lady at the front desk, Spat took everyone upstairs.

As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a white man in a shirt and jeans came up to him:
"Hey, welcome, Spat, tell me, who is Lotus?"

"It's not the lotus, it's He Hua (emphasis added)." He Hua walked forward with a smile.

Spat and Liu Yifei hurried forward to help introduce and translate.

"This is Chris Wedge, founder of Blue Sky Studios."

"Oh, He Hua, He Hua, welcome."

Chris stepped forward to shake hands with Yu Yang, Jiaozi, Zhang Runhua and others one by one.

Then he chatted with He Hua excitedly.

"I like your story very much. Animal City, which can realize anyone's dream, is actually talking about the land under my feet, right. This city looks beautiful, but in fact it is full of discrimination everywhere."

"Rabbits are weak, foxes are cunning, they all just look at people's appearance, it's like racism."

"As if they were born with original sin."

"And there are herbivores and carnivores, like donkeys and elephants, which is wonderful."

"I have to say, He, you really understand our society very well, you should go to Hollywood to develop."

He Hua really didn't expect him to be able to say so much. In fact, he really wanted to reply to Chris:
"Know yourself and know the enemy, and you won't be in danger in a hundred battles."

But I'm afraid my girlfriend won't be able to translate it, so forget it.

After arriving at the meeting room, the rectangular desk was filled with people on both sides.

After a brief introduction, the executives of Blue Sky Studio tentatively offered a price:
"How about $300 million, I think that's a reasonable price for a script."

He Hua looked at Chris Wedge who was sitting in the middle.

I saw that Chris, who was eloquent just now, didn't even open his mouth, just holding a pen, drawing something on the notebook, as if he didn't care about this negotiation at all.

Liu Yifei on the side was a little shocked when he heard the price, but he did not forget his duty, and immediately opened his mouth to translate to everyone.

But Spat didn't give her a chance to speak, and said first:

"No no no, are you kidding me? Are you treating it like a normal screenplay? Then I'll have to talk to Illumination Entertainment, they're also interested in Zootopia."

“This is already a sky-high price”

Spart interrupted directly:

"Hey, how much are you going to invest in creating this story? One hundred million? That three million seems to have just passed the bottom line of the Screenwriters Association, not to mention that my client has already designed so many cartoon characters, look at the cute rabbit police officer , and that charming three-toed sloth, please stop insulting our IQ?"

"Then how much do you want?"

"20% of the global revenue, I think this is a reasonable figure." Spart Lion opened his mouth.

"No kidding, no one is going to agree to that price."

"Really, I don't believe it, Universal Pictures will definitely not be stingy with this expenditure."

Yu Yang and the others frowned as they watched Spat and the people on the blue sky's side having a heated conversation.

And Liu Yifei came to her boyfriend's ear and helped him translate the conversation between the two.

After a while, Yu Yang and others also joined the battlefield. Zhang Runhua and Jiaozi didn't understand English, so they kept communicating with Yu Yang and asked him to act as their mouth substitute.

The two sides engage in the same as a debate.

After listening to it for a while, He Hua felt that they always spoke directly when they didn't get the point:

"Okay, just be quiet, Mr. Chris, can we have a good talk?"

At this moment, Chris sat up straight as if waking up from a dream, and looked at He Hua:
"Of course, of course, I'm not used to such quarrels, let's be direct, how much do you want?"

"Here, here." He Hua didn't directly answer his question, but pointed to the surroundings and said, "Lantian Studio was established by you. It can be seen that you like animation very much."

Chris nodded noncommittally.

"I also like animation. I also have an animation company in my country, but its production capacity is relatively weak and cannot satisfy the stories in my mind."

"I have already thought about the story of the second part of "Zootopia", and I will try my best to turn it into a series of stories, just like your "Ice Age"."

Chris looked at He Hua, Liu Yifei, Yu Yang and others, then responded with a smile:

"So, how do we get her?"

"Collaborate, finish it together, we can give up some of the revenue, but the whole production process needs us to participate in it."

Chris suddenly realized: "Oh, you guys want to learn animation."

Those who participated in the negotiations at Blue Sky Studio also began to whisper.

One of them sneered directly:

"I've never heard of any Chinese animation team, so what can your company's employees do if they join in?"

Yu Yang retorted calmly: "Then you may really have to broaden your horizons. Members of our team have a lot of experience in cooperating with companies here."

After a short communication with several people around him, Chris said: "We need to have a meeting to discuss this matter."

"Of course, we are here during this period of time. You have agreed to contact us at any time."

He Hua took the lead and got up to leave.

After leaving the building, He Hua communicated with Spat:
"Can you take us to visit and visit other animation companies?"

When Spat heard He Hua's words, he immediately smirked in front of his eyes, saying 'OK', 'OK' and all kinds of nonsense in his mouth.
