I’m in Hollywood

?? Firefly's studio base is larger than the Universal Studios and Warners studios in Burbank combined, and the base area is also well-organized. Near ten o'clock, a Chevrolet SUV and another red BMW are driving one after another. Entering the park, parked in the parking lot of the digital domain office area, the doors of the two cars opened, and five women walked out of the two cars.

Even though I was used to seeing all kinds of beauties at the studio base, the appearance of the five women still attracted the attention of many employees.

Julia didn't like the gazes of passersby around her, so she got into the SUV and asked, Liz, where are my sunglasses?

Elizabeth took off one of the Ray-Ban glasses hanging on her chest and put it on, How do I know!

I clearly remember that I put it in... Julia raised her head in distress, saw the sunglasses Elizabeth was wearing at a glance, was stunned, and then rushed over: Okay, return it to me quickly.

Elizabeth dodged with a smile: If you don't pay it back, you can grab it if you have the ability.

It's childish, Drew, who got out of the BMW sedan in the back, complained to Tina Fey and Claudia Schiffer beside him. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Eric never far away. The studio of the realm came out, but because the big Chevrolet SUV blocked the view, Elizabeth and Julia, who were jokingly entangled, did not see Eric.

Drew showed a wicked smile, reached out and stabbed the two women beside him, and pointed to Julia and Elizabeth who were playing not far away: Hey, let's watch a good show.

Tina Fei pursed her lips and smiled, Claudia Schiffer asked curiously, What good show?

Just look at it seriously, Drew pointed in the direction of the two women again, and Eric was already on the other side of Elizabeth and Julia's SUV.

Tina Fey and Claudia Schiffer both stared in that direction, Eric turned from the front of the SUV, appeared in front of Elizabeth and Julia, and said something. Then, we saw that the two women who were originally entangled quickly separated, and Elizabeth was better. She opened her mouth to greet Eric, but Julia, who was just playing with Elizabeth carelessly, seemed to have shrunk in a circle, giving the impression of a little mouse being pressed under a cat's paw.

How about it, is it fun? Drew laughed heartlessly.

Claudia Schiffer held back the smile on the corner of her mouth. Asked suspiciously, Does Julia seem to be afraid of Williams?

Drew shrugged,

She also discovered this situation by accident, and asked Eric the reason, but only got a shudder: It shouldn't be afraid, but I don't know exactly what it is. If you want to know, you can ask Eric.

Claudia rolled her eyes at Drew: Why don't you ask yourself?

Next to the SUV, Eric asked a few questions, grabbed Elizabeth and took off the sunglasses and handed them to Julia, before beckoning here.

It's ten o'clock, why are you here now? Eric greeted him, asked casually, and walked towards the studio in the digital field with a few girls.

Drew ignored the gazes of others, hung it on Eric's arm affectionately, and said, There is a traffic jam on the road. The street is very lively today. Didn't you see it?

Eric nodded and said nothing.

The main office areas for employees in the digital field are three standard commercial buildings, which are divided into upper and lower floors. These tall buildings like factories are eight meters wide and more than 30 meters long. Each building can accommodate up to 200 people working at the same time.

Tina Fei walked into these studios behind Eric, looking at the exquisitely decorated open office area and the digital employees who shuttled in and out, she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Hearing Tina Fey's voice, Eric turned his head with a smile and asked, Are you a little envious of their working environment?

Tina Fey nodded with a smile, the newspaper office where she used to work. A dozen or so employees are crowded together in a small office, and many colleagues' dream every day is to have a more spacious office one day.

If you want, you can experience it here for a while in the future, Eric said casually.

Tina Fey shook her head again. He pointed to the special effects artist who was immersed in drawing in a booth on the left, facing the computer: I can't do that.

The maya software for developing special effects in the digital field can take a while to learn, and you can still draw, so you have a solid foundation.

As Eric was talking, a slender hand reached out and pinched his arm lightly. He leaned into his ear and whispered, How do you know she can draw?

Eric pushed Elizabeth's face away from his ears: So many people are watching, pay attention to the impact.

Elizabeth snorted softly and pulled Julia away from Eric one meter away, a trace of dissatisfaction.

Eric didn't care either, and said, Jeffrey will come over later. Let's go and see the later stages of Geek in Disguise first.

There are not many special effects shots in Greeks in Disguise, but they are very cartoonish. In order to solve this problem, the digital domain specially borrowed two animators from Pixar to design the shots together.

After checking the special effects progress of Geezia in Disguise, several women were very interested in the technique of combining special effects pictures with real scenes, and they all came to the special effects artist to ask questions. I already knew the principles of these technologies like the back of my hand, so I didn't join in to watch the fun. I walked to the staff cafe alone, asked for a cup of coffee, picked up a movie magazine, and watched it on my own.

After watching the special effects artist demonstrate how to deal with a scene, Elizabeth turned her head to look and found that Eric had disappeared, and followed him out. After asking a few people, she found Eric sitting alone in the cafe. Asked the waiter at the bar for a cup of coffee, Elizabeth walked towards Eric with it, sat down opposite Eric, stared at Eric intently, with a kind of 'I know what you did' on the corner of her mouth ' smile.

Eric still looked at the magazine in front of him without raising his head. After a while, he saw a consultation that he was very interested in, and said, Go and find a pen for me.

Elizabeth was a little discouraged and found that her posture was in vain. She stood up angrily and walked to the work area, 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, and said at the same time: Look at the look you just looked forward to, just say what you want to say.

Humph. I found out about you and Columbia, Elizabeth said in a 'come to please me, or the queen will speak out' tone.

It took a long time for Eric to spit out a word: Oh.

... Elizabeth resisted the urge to pour the coffee in her hand: Aren't you nervous?

Eric copied the information from the magazine, folded it, and put it in his shirt pocket. Then he said, You don't think you're the only smart person in Hollywood, do you?

Then don't you have to worry more about what others say?

Of course not to worry, I have already obtained all the distribution resources of Colombia in South America, and then the most important Europe, even if someone wants to make trouble, in the absence of any evidence. Sony receives the information, then conducts an investigation, and waits for them To find out the truth of the matter, Firefly almost also got a part of Colombia's distribution resources in Europe, and the distribution channels of the remaining Southeast Asian countries can take it, but it can't take it. So Sony is very clear that the matter has become a reality, tearing its face. It's not good for both parties, even if they fight a lawsuit, they won't be able to win, so they will be determined to lose this dumb.

I can't help but want to compliment you. Elizabeth said sarcastically.

In the end, the Japanese are just outsiders. If it is an American company, this kind of thing will definitely not be possible. Just wait and see. Sony and Panasonic, these two companies have not been in Hollywood for a long time, even if they are barely used to it. , and they won't achieve much, because once they want to diversify like Warner, they will definitely be constrained by various aspects, and in the end they can only keep film production, a relatively low-profit business.

News Corporation is also an outsider, Elizabeth retorted smugly.

Eric glanced at the girl: How many times has your old man changed his nationality?

Elizabeth was suddenly choked, like swallowing a big boiled duck egg.

Jeffrey soon also came to Playa Vista by car. Eric brought several girls and Jeffrey to the studio of designing dinosaur models, and the team here was led by Stan Winston himself.

Among the dinosaur models, the most important is of course the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and there is also the sick Triceratops.

Wow, come and see, this eye looks real. Drew spun around the studio excitedly, and was quickly attracted by an orange-sized mechanical eyeball.

Under the control of the modeler, the mechanically controlled eyeball can not only blink, but even the pupil can be freely retracted, which is extremely delicate.

These are just gadgets, Miss Barrymore, come with me, let's see that big guy, Stan Winston smiled smugly.

A group of people walked into a large warehouse, a Tyrannosaurus Rex model that had begun to take shape appeared in front of them, and five or six modelers were busy on the scaffolding erected.

This Tyrannosaurus Rex is 13 meters long and 5 meters high. We plan to use 40 hydraulic transmissions to control it... Stan Winston explained excitedly while standing beside Eric, although he was a top model Special effects artist, but this is the first time to make such a behemoth. 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 actually existed in the history of the earth.

Eric looked at the unpainted white Tyrannosaurus rex and asked, Can it be completed before June?

Stan Winston knew that Eric was turned on at the end of June, and nodded: No problem.

What about CG special effects?

This is more complicated, Stan Winston said. If you model out of thin air, in order to achieve a more realistic effect, you need to perform a lot of calculations and rendering on the material of the dinosaur's skin, which is both expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, They recently came up with the idea of ​​using a laser scanner to scan the entity into a computer after the model is made, which can reduce a lot of work.

Eric said with satisfaction: This is a good way. Don't worry about the funds. As long as it is necessary, Firefly will definitely support it.

Time soon came to noon, and he ate at the restaurant of the base. All afternoon, Eric was discussing the design details of the dinosaur model with Stan Winston.

I don't know how long it took, Eric and Stan Winston were standing under the Tyrannosaurus rex model, talking to a blueprint in the hands of Stan Winston, and a group of girls who had been in the base for an afternoon appeared again. In front of him.

Stan Winston saw that Eric was surrounded by a group of Yingyingyanyan, shrugged his shoulders, and walked over to Jeffrey.

Eric, it's past four o'clock, we're going home.

Unexpectedly, a day passed without knowing it, Eric just opened his mouth, and suddenly remembered the reason why he was here today. Raising his wrist and looking at his watch, it was already 4:50. Now Rodney King's case should have been pronounced, but he didn't hear any news of the disturbance.

From Playa Vista to Beverly Hills, you must pass through downtown Los Angeles. There are still big girls like flowers in front of them. If they are surrounded by thugs, they will end...

Eric couldn't help shivering, looked at the beautiful faces in front of him and said, Don't go back tonight, come to my place together later.

Hearing this sentence, the five women suddenly looked at each other, Drew looked indifferent, and even a little excited, Julia shrank her neck, Elizabeth glared at him dissatisfied, and said that it was getting more and more You're a bastard, and Tina Fey and Claudia Schiffer both blushed.

Eric, Emma, ​​Emma is still at home. Julia said weakly.

Isn't there a nanny watching? It's fine.

Elizabeth couldn't take it anymore, she pulled Julia and said, We won't accompany you. I'm going back with Julia.

Eric also knew that the girls were a little crooked, but, no matter what, he let a few women leave at this time, and seeing that Elizabeth was leaving, Eric reached out and scooped up Julia: If you want to go, go by yourself. , Julia is here to stay.

You... how can you do this! Elizabeth stomped her feet, but didn't move any further.

That's it, I called the manor's helicopter to come and pick us up, Eric didn't look at Elizabeth's face again, he took out his mobile phone and called. (To be continued.) xh211
