Evan Bell and Leonardo DiCaprio were sitting in the corner beside the swimming pool to eat, but they were leisurely. Those who wanted to curry favor with Evan Bell couldn't find him, and could only find him in the whole place. The banquet hall was wandering around. www.) will even take to the streets to ask audiences their views on a certain 20th Century Fox movie, which is the only one that has no semicolon among its peers in entertainment; Jim Chianopurus is low-key and pragmatic, Always focus on the business of the company. The friendly coexistence between the two chairmen has enabled 20th Century Fox to earn $8 billion at the global box office since they took office in 2000, and has won more than 50 Oscar nominations. Century Fox signed another five-year working agreement with the two chairmen. It is an inspiration and affirmation for the work of both of them.

As for Chris Meledandre, he is not well-known in the circle. The animation department of 20th Century Fox started very late, far behind Disney and DreamWorks. In 2000, 20th Century Fox invested 75 million The US dollar-made "Frozen Planet" only got 20 million at the box office and lost everything. However, although the production cost of animation blockbuster is high, the production cycle is time-consuming and heavy. But because of the wide audience, huge benefits, and the risks involved in every investment, Twentieth Century Fox is reluctant to voluntarily give up animation.

Chris Meledandre was the first director of the 20th Century Fox animation department. In fact, his personal ability is very good, and he is also very talented in grasping the storyline and researching technology. However, it is difficult to cook without rice, and 20th Century Fox's lack of 3D computer animation technicians has made his work handicapped and unable to open up the situation.

Subsequently, 20th Century Fox opened Blue Sky Studio, and it successfully swept the North American box office in 2002, making 20th Century Fox an animation upstart comparable to Pixar and DreamWorks. After receiving technical support, Chris Meledan Rui's vision is gradually opening, and he can actually be seen behind "Ice Age 2" and "Robot Adventures".

This is also the reason why Evan Bell would have known Chris Meridan, otherwise other people's animation knowledge of Twentieth Century Fox would be limited to Blue Sky Studios.

But judging from the conversation between Chris Meledandre and Thomas Rothman just now, Chris Meledhan is about to leave 20th Century Fox. Although it is an amicable breakup, it still has a lot to do with 20th Century Fox. affected. But if you think about it, it's understandable.

Twentieth Century Fox’s animations are now completely dependent on Blue Sky Studio. Although its own animation department is still launching works, its reputation, quality, and box office are not at the same level as Blue Sky Studio. Especially after "Ice Age 2" made a lot of money at the beginning of last year, 20th Century Fox's own animation department is under increasing pressure, but at the same time, the development space is getting smaller and smaller.

You must know that Blue Sky Studio not only has box office strength, but also has the strength to win awards. They reached a cooperation agreement with 20th Century Fox because they won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film in 1999. , the fiery "Ice Age 2" did not even win the nominations. The nominations were Pixar's "Cars", Sony Columbia Pictures' "Monster House" and Warner Bros. "Happy Feet", two Tenth Century Fox is definitely not reconciled.

Therefore, in view of the overall situation, 20th Century Fox also hopes to tilt resources to Blue Sky Studio, and stop wasting the energy inside the company, and hope that Blue Sky Studio can continue to cheer. Then, Chris Meridan Rui would plan to leave, which is really a normal decision.

Chris Meledandre and Thomas Romans took two more steps forward, and they saw Evan Bell and Leonardo DiCaprio who were having a meal. Thomas Romans was the first to say hello. "Evan, Leo, it turns out that you are here, but everyone has worked so hard to find you."

Evan Bell stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Thomas Romans and Chris Meledandre respectively, "What do you want to do with me. I'm not a clown who can do magic, I'm the most boring." Evan Bell's One sentence made everyone chuckle.

"Then you continue to enjoy this rare quiet moment, we will not disturb you." Thomas Romans said politely. Then he said goodbye.

Evan Bell looked at Chris Meredan Rui who was leaving, but he always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it for a while. This is really ticklish. "What's the matter?" Leonardo DiCaprio saw that Evan Bell's eyes had been following the two people and thought that something had happened.

Evan Bell shook his head, "I always feel that I forgot a key point, but I can't remember it, which is really disappointing."

Leonardo DiCaprio laughed, this feeling is really bad, if people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will inevitably figure out this key before giving up, it will definitely be very tormenting. "Since you can't remember. Then go talk to them, maybe you will remember."

Evan Bell's eyes suddenly lit up, "Good idea! But I'll talk about it after I finish eating." Depending on the state, the conversation between Chris Meledandre and Thomas Romans is bound to continue for a while, so he's not in a hurry.

About ten minutes later, Evan Bell found Chris Meledanri who was enjoying a moment of aloneness in a relatively sparsely populated green corner. The surrounding palm trees and potted plants made the fresh air around him blow. Evan Bell greeted him from a distance. Otherwise, it would be too rude to appear suddenly, "Chris, enjoying a quiet time alone? It seems that I disturbed your personal space."

Chris Meledandre laughed, "No. I just think the excitement there doesn't belong to me." As the director of the animation department of Twentieth Century Fox, he is naturally no more popular than other current personnel and technicians.

"Trust me. The liveliness there is just watching the liveliness. When all the voices disappear, there is only endless emptiness left." Evan Bell's profound words made Chris Meledanry stunned for a moment. But nothing was said. Evan Bell smiled, "It's better not to say such eye-rolling remarks, it has a great impact on my personal humor." At this moment, Chris Meledhanie laughed directly.

"I accidentally overheard the conversation between you and Thomas just now. What, you're leaving the company?" Evan Bell seemed to bring up this topic casually, but his eyes were watching Chris Meledany's expression.

Chris Meledandre didn't look surprised. His departure from Twentieth Century Fox was a foregone conclusion, and he had nothing to hide. "Yeah, choose a wider world to develop."

"Oh, have you chosen a new company?" Evan Bell was a little surprised. Could it be Disney? Recently, the thirst for animation talents is Disney, which is on the verge of collapse.

Chris Meridan Rui laughed, "No." There was some self-deprecation in his smile. No company has ever discovered his talent in animation, and his animation resume is really not outstanding, presumably It is also very difficult for him to jump to other large companies. "I plan to open my own studio, find a group of like-minded partners, make some short films first and then seek cooperation from big companies. It's like the cooperation between Blue Sky and Fox."

This is a relatively feasible method. Chris Mellie Danrui has strong connections and strength. After seeking enough capital, it will be much easier to talk with his works and then seek an owner. And it must be said that in the animation department of a large company, Evan Bell, the degree of freedom to open his own studio, is no better to understand.

Evan Bell smiled and asked casually, "Studio? It's a good idea, how about it? Do you have any name? Show me your works when the time comes. I'm very interested."

"Haha, if you can get your approval, then it's definitely something that you can't ask for." Chris Mellie Danrui laughed, but he didn't take it seriously, he just thought Evan Bell was a polite remark, "It's not confirmed yet, But I think 'Lighting Entertainment' is good."

Lighting entertainment company? what!
