Perfect Superstar

Ferraris Art Park, a northwest suburb of Los Angeles.

There are no tall, urban buildings, a three- or four-story, artistic architecture hidden in shade, clean roads are spacious and straight, and there is a kind of quiet away from the thriving.

But this Art Park adjacent to Hollywood is an indispensable part of American cinema, with dozens of special effects producers and studios that produce incredible output every year.

The Blue Sky Digital Effects Production Studio that Lu Chen will visit is one of the best.

This special effects studio is young and only five years old, but has been involved in producing many Hollywood features with a passionate team.

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

It is for all these reasons that Richard intends to recommend Blue Sky Effects to Lu Chen as a partner in Chenfei Media, rather than other older but more powerful special effects companies.

Because the big, old-fashioned companies tend to be arrogant, they like to make Chinese money, but they are never willing to share their technology, and even if they are willing to sell some of their shares, they tend to be big talk to the lions.

The Blue Sky Effect currently also faces financial problems, and the studio does not have the problems of a large company and is undoubtedly a very suitable partner for Chenfi Media.

The only problem, I'm afraid, is that the Blue Sky effect is not well known in the industry, and few people in the country know its name, but Richard assures them of their standards.

If the Dream Workshop hadn't just received an advertising business to complete, Richard would have flown in himself.

Jenny's car stopped in front of a four-story building.

The silver-grey glass curtain wall on the surface of this circular building, which resembles a flying saucer, gleams in the light of the sun and is erected on a tablet in front of the entrance gate with a row of different company logos and names.

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

Led by Jenny, Lu Chen and Chen Fei took the elevator to their destination.

The elevator door just opened, the camera flash immediately lit up, surprised all three of Lu Chen!

Only a group of young men and women were seen surrounded in the elevator hall, either with SLR cameras or holding their phones, in a cheerful surrounding position.

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

A young man in blue t-shirt jeans took the lead, smiling and reaching out to Lu Chen.

Jenny just stepped out of the elevator door, and she immediately introduced Lu Chen: "This is Mill, CEO of our studio. Joyce.”

Lu Chen suddenly reached out and shook his hand: "Nice to meet you, Mil. Mr. Joyce. ”

“Just call me Mir...”

Mir laughed and said, "They're all my colleagues. I heard you were here. They're all here to welcome you! ”

This is definitely the Halo of Heroes!

Lu Chen smiled: “Hello...”

It doesn't matter if Lu Chen says hello. These Blue Sky Studios employees are surrounded by fan chasers, asking for autographs, photos, hugs!

Then upload the photos to your respective Tbook.

Lu Chen did not expect these Americans to be so enthusiastic, but after all, he was accustomed to similar scenes. He had no choice but to deal with them. He satisfied their requirements and made the atmosphere very harmonious.

This also shows that Blue Sky Studios, unlike large companies, have a more relaxed atmosphere in itself, with owners and employees more like close friends than strict superiors.

After a brief and enthusiastic welcome, Mir introduced several key members of the studio, including his partner and chief actress Christopher.

Christopher is a very shrewd young man who is not tall, thin and weak, wears big black framed glasses, has acne on his face, and stutters when he talks.

But Richard admired Christopher, who told Lu Chen on the phone that the 25-year-old was definitely a special effects genius, and half the value of the Blue Sky Studio was on him!

So Lu Chen was kind to Christopher, but he was rather flattered.

Lu Chen visited the studio with Chen Fei, accompanied by Mir, Christopher and others.

Blue Sky Studios are not very large, they currently employ less than 200 people, and the rented operating space is small and the interior is quite crowded compared to what large companies with hundreds of people cannot do.

However, the company's hardware standards are top notch, the workstations used for special effects are new, the computing processing power is very powerful, and they also have the proud digital synthesis software ZPDT.

This digital synthesis software, undoubtedly the core technology of Blue Sky Studios, was co-developed by the three co-founders over a five-year period and has been successfully used in the production of special effects for multiple film and television productions, with very good response.

ZPDT does not have many advantages at the technical level over the industry's top software of the same type, even in terms of detail handling and rendering performance, but it does have the advantage of being less difficult to learn, less expensive to use, or in other words, more cost-effective.

Blue Sky Studios also intends to further develop a more advanced version of ZPDT, but lacks sufficient funding.

At present, Hollywood has a large number of special effects production companies and studios, and there is very strong competition among them. If small businesses like Blue Sky Studios are unable to sustain continuous technological progress to win more business, the result is either closure or annexation by large companies.

Neither was clearly what the three founding fathers wanted to see, so they urgently needed foreign investment.

Mill's passion for Lu Chen is not just because he is a hot hero now.

Lu Chen is rich!

The CEO of Blue Sky Studios had already learned through Li Cha the power of Chenfei Media, which was definitely not a bad money owner, so he talked about his technical strength and good prospects.

To that end, he asked Christopher to show Lu Chen the effects of the latest version 2.75 of ZPDT.

Not only that, Mill took the morning to the only digital studio in the studio to experience first-hand the action capture technology developed by the studio with ZPDT!
