Chapter 52: "SpongeBob SquarePants" is completed
Wald Pictures Animation Studio.
Stephen Heilenberg, the first person in charge, and David Messer, the second person in charge who also served as the department's chief screenwriter, were already waiting downstairs when Zucker came here.
As soon as they met, Zhuke gave them two, each of them a hug.
"Steven, and David, you guys are too interesting."
"I was talking about things at the icq company downstairs a few days ago. Instead of telling me the news at that time, you call me now instead."
I have to say that Zhu Ke's aggrieved little expression really stunned the two of them.
(The address of the animation studio is not in the Burbank area, but in Silicon Valley. Now it shares a building with icq.)
Stephen grieved: "Boss, we didn't know you were coming a few days ago?"
David Messer immediately said: "That's it, we have spent several nights working on the post-production of "SpongeBob SquarePants" these days, and Stephen hasn't rested much for almost two days."
"blame me, blame me~!"
Hear that they stayed up for several nights.
Zuke has anything else to say?
In fact, for the animated series of "SpongeBob SquarePants", except for being able to help a little at the beginning, Zhuke didn't come over very much in the later stage.
It's not that I don't want to come, but I don't understand it!
Furthermore, Zhu Ke also believes that with their abilities, they can absolutely complete it perfectly.
After all, one of them is the "Father of SpongeBob SquarePants"; the other is also the hero who later created the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
With talents, funds, and complete data, what else prevents "SpongeBob SquarePants" from running successfully?
At the moment, looking at Stephen, the dark circles under the eyes of everyone in the animation department, and the sloppy shapes, compared with Pixar's superior working environment, Zhu Ke can't help but feel a little distressed.
"Zhao Wushuang, Sun Lei, go buy some milk tea and hamburgers right away, remember to buy more."
After talking to his two bodyguards, Zhu Ke said again: "Stephen and David, no matter how busy they are at work, they can't be hungry. I will remember them from now on."
"Thank you boss."
Everyone in the animation studio cheered immediately.
The boss can have such good behavior, which all means affirmation of their work.
I have to say that Zhu Ke is already comfortable with Xiao En Xiaohui's good behavior. Of course, if you want to keep these talents under control, the most important thing is to have the dollar in place. Everyone wants to eat, man! No matter how good the talk this year is, no matter how good it is, it is no match for the salary.
Have a fart if you have no money!
"SpongeBob SquarePants" completed 40 episodes in less than 4 months. To be honest, it far exceeded Zucker's expectations.
Of course, this is also because of its scum picture quality!
After all, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is just a rough 2D animation.
Otherwise, if you follow the standards of "Toy Story", let alone 4 months, it will not be completed even in 4 years. Of course, even if it is a 2D animation, if it is a high-quality animation, it will take a long time to complete.
In the following time, Zhu Ke and the entire animation studio watched several episodes of the 40 episodes of "SpongeBob SquarePants".
Result?
The result is of course quite satisfactory!
funny little sponge;
Pai Daxing who is lazy and does not like to take a bath;
Bald octopus brother;
...
"SpongeBob SquarePants" is full of fun and science, as well as the mystery of marine life, and the anthropomorphic settings make the whole movie extremely exciting. Undoubtedly, they did a pretty good job, completely exceeding Zhu Ke's original expectations!
"Everyone, after watching the film, I have to say, you did a great job!" Zhu Ke said on the spot.
The voice fell, and everyone cheered again.
Steven said: "Boss, you are satisfied."
David Messer smiled and said, "Guys, this is only the 40 episodes of the first season. We will have nearly 200 episodes in the future~!"
Other people present, besides cheering, also loudly discussed the future of "SpongeBob SquarePants" after it was released.
"Dolly, Weiss, guys, we made a masterpiece together!"
"Pooh, you are right."
"Affirmed by the boss, this shows that our work for the past 4 months has not been wasted."
"Guys, where is this? We have to continue to complete one animation masterpiece after another!"
...
While everyone was frantically discussing the future, Zhu Ke did not wait quietly, but on the spot said he would give them a raise.
Zhu Ke said loudly: "Guys, you heard that right, I just want to give you a raise. From next month, whether it is the management or the designer, as long as you are a member of the perfect animation studio, you Monthly salary will increase by 20%!"
Salary increase!
Everyone was boiling on the spot.
"Everyone, please be quiet, okay?"
Zuke continued to smile and said, "Are you satisfied with a salary increase? Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. After "SpongeBob SquarePants" is officially aired, I will give you a generous bonus!"
"Not only that, in my planning, our animation studio is not just a division of Wald Pictures, I think it will be a promising animation subsidiary."
"Moreover, the animation we will do in the future is not just "SpongeBob SquarePants". Guys, don't forget "Finding Nemo". 3D computer animation is our main future direction, and cinema movies are what we should do. Places to go."
"Guys, our goal, but Pixar!"
Studio becomes an independent subsidiary?
"Finding Nemo";
Theatrical 3D animation film;
The target is Pixar;
I have to say that after these remarks, let alone the studio employees, the first person in charge Stephen and the second person in charge Messer were extremely excited on the spot.
They are all talents~!
and ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are all talents who have their own pursuit!
A company with no vitality and no development potential, even if they give them more money, they may not be willing to stay and die.
"Steven and David, tomorrow I will continue to inject 5 million US dollars into the animation studio to purchase computers and other related 3D animation equipment. Of course, there will be an expansion of manpower. Not to mention the 400 people like Pixar, we can’t be less. At 100 people. After all, we have to continue planning "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Finding Nemo" to complete."
Zhuke said.
Upon hearing this, Stephen and Messer nodded in agreement.
Although "SpongeBob SquarePants" is excellent, and its peripheral products involve tens of billions of dollars, it has not yet been broadcasted. It belongs to the kind of unknown future; even Steven, the father of SpongeBob SquarePants, does not know "SpongeBob SquarePants". "What a great future will be.
"Finding Nemo", a 3D computer animation feature film, this is their pursuit!
"Boss, don't worry, leave the purchase of equipment to me." Stephen laughed.
Messer said directly: "Guys, I came from Pixar. This time I'm hiring people, I will definitely hire a few talents from there."
Hearing this, Zhu Ke's eyes also brightened.
There are too many talents in Pixar!
Just bring in a few talents, which will greatly promote the completion of "Finding Nemo".
The work of Steven and others is very clear right now.
And Zhuke will be busy again for the next time. After all, "SpongeBob SquarePants" needs a broadcast platform.
The second update of "" is here! ! !
