Chapter 461： special effects work

Early the next morning, Lyman pulled Thomas again.

After meeting, this guy still complained habitually, saying that the preparation work could be done by others, but he couldn't.

But Lehman ignored this. This guy is not aggressive. If Lehman hadn't forced him to take on more work, he would definitely not be willing to take over the production rights.

However, several of them knew Yu Weimo, and Lehman still wanted to give him a hand.

He laughed and said: "Life is a constant struggle, what are you doing all the time. You don't have the 'American Dream' in your thinking."

Thomas replied, "What kind of dream, I can make money to support myself."

Afterwards, Lehman started to talk nonsense again, persuading him indiscriminately. In short, Thomas, you must make progress. If you don't make progress, you will be sorry for the country, the people, and the support of your hometown.

Is it easy for us to gain a foothold in America? Can't slack off.

Thomas' face turned green when he was told, and he had no choice but to respond. Only then did Lehman stop lecturing and pouring chicken soup.

Thomas scratched his head, "Then why did you come to me?"

Lyman patted him on the shoulder, "The organization wants to give you a task..."

Before Lehman could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Thomas: "Don't, I'm busy enough, I can't squeeze any time. Really, you can find someone else. Ryan, Garcia...who It's fine, but I can't."

"No? No!" Lemanja patted him on the shoulder with all his strength, and patted him as soon as he said a word.

Thomas finally begged for mercy: "Forget it, you can say anything, I'll do it, I'll do it."

Lyman stopped and smiled again. After explaining the situation to Thomas, he was relieved.

"It turned out to be looking for a special effects company to discuss shooting, I'll accompany you."

Lehman also said: "In terms of special effects, there are only a few famous ones in Hollywood. I thought about going to the digital field to see what their quotations are. I heard someone say yesterday that the business ability in the digital field is very good, and the price is also good. Not the most expensive."

"The digital realm? Isn't that Cameron's special effects studio. Are we looking for this one?"

James Cameron is a well-known tech freak, with more than half of his net worth invested in the digital field.

After all, at this time, one of the special effects companies was considered one, and they were all trading at a loss.

First, because the competition pressure is too great, there are too many companies on the market that can do special effects for movies, and there are too few business needs;

The second is because the application of new technologies always requires continuous investment in research in order to produce results.

Lehmann nodded, "The business level in the digital field is still very strong. We can go to this one first."

......

......

"What's the matter with the two of you?"

"There are several shots in a movie that need special effects."

"do you have any requests?"

"Can we go see your company first."

"sure."

After Lehman and Thomas called to invite the digital domain, a person greeted them not long after. This white man who looks a little premature, a typical Silicon Valley practitioner's streamlined dress, can even be said to be a white man who doesn't pay much attention to his dress is called Bossy, said to be 28 years old, but he looks like 35 or 6 years old.

He wasn't very polite either. He realized that Lehman and Thomas belonged to the type of people with business needs, and immediately agreed to take them to the company to see them together.

A group of people drove from Burbank and took about 20 minutes to get to the office of the digital field.

But after arriving, Thomas had some doubts that he couldn't hide.

Actually, Lehman was also a little surprised.

According to Bossi, this is an ordinary residential area, with the kind of desolation and lack of infrastructure unique to the suburbs on the edge of Los Angeles, and the housing types are also a bit old.

"Is this right here?" Thomas still couldn't help but ask.

"Well, just a little ahead."

Bossy is more natural.

The three of them meandered along the damp alley again. The clutter of the buildings can easily make people lose their way.

All in all, it seems inconspicuous, as if it is impossible for a company in the digital field to fall here.

Unfortunately, Thomas was disappointed.

The headquarters of the digital realm is really here.

After walking for about 3 or 4 minutes, in the upper left of a low building, there was a slightly worn light sign, which was the name of the studio.

Bossy made a phone call before pushing the door open.

After walking in, there wasn't even a receptionist. Or, Bossy was their receptionist and was also a guest receptionist.

Anyway, what Lehmann could see was a wide space like a warehouse, with a bunch of desks on both sides. Also messy style.

The whole place highlights the aesthetics of a unique technical otaku, but there is no trace of art.

"Good morning, Mr. Ryman."

A white man in his 30s with glasses and a cup of coffee in his hand walked over quickly and greeted warmly.

"They have business needs, it should be a new movie." Bossy stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.

Afterwards, the reception became more enthusiastic.

They walked around and found that except for the layout and decoration, it was not very conspicuous, but it had everything, and the area was quite large, and there were several similar warehouses behind it. Not too many employees, not too few.

Perhaps it is precisely because this is a suburb that the office space can be so large. Both are more spacious than Lyman's Firefly.

After walking around for a while, a few people sat in an office again.

Lehman considered his intentions, and after meeting his own needs, the coffee man said, "You want us to take over the special effects work of the movie. This is just right, we don't have any important projects in the near future, so we can focus on you all. side."

"What about the price?"

"This It mainly depends on the workload and time. If you invest more energy, it will be more expensive, and if it is easy to do, it will be less."

"Similar to the monster shots of the "Alien" series, as well as the rendering of several scenes, the overall workload should not be large. Can you make a concept map first? We need to see the effect before deciding whether to hire you to participate in the project. production." Lehmann said.

"It's natural, but the concept map also needs..."

"How much is needed?" Lyman interrupted.

"Five working days, $80,000."

"What if I'm not satisfied with the renderings?"

"This, we must be careful, there will be multiple options." The coffee man explained weakly.

Let him, a science graduate, come to negotiate, he really lacks momentum, and the basic topic direction can be taken away by Lehman.

"Well, that's it, I'll pay 50,000 as a deposit first, and then pay 30,000 if I'm satisfied, what do you think?" Laiman didn't ask any more about the alternatives and couldn't make anyone sure what would happen, so he just gave his own. condition.

"Uh, that's okay, you can come back in five days."
