Flushing Art Park, northwest suburb of Los Angeles.

There are no high-rise buildings in the urban area. The three or four storey high and artistic modeling buildings are hidden in the green shade. The clean roads are spacious and straight, and there is a kind of quiet away from the prosperity.

However, this art park adjacent to Hollywood is an indispensable part of American films. It gathers dozens of special effects production companies and studios, and the output value created each year is extremely amazing.

The blue sky digital special effects production studio that Lu Chen will visit is one of the best.

This special effects studio is very young and has only been established for 5 years, but it has participated in the special effects production of many Hollywood blockbusters and has a passionate and energetic team.

And the members of blue sky special effects are very young. The three co founders, mill, Andrew and Christopher, are graduates of the University of Southern California. The oldest is only 29 years old.

It is for the above reasons that Richard intends to recommend blue sky special effects to Lu Chen as a partner of Chenfei media, rather than other old but more powerful special effects companies.

Because those old big companies are often arrogant. They like to make Chinese money, but they are never willing to exchange their technology. Even if they are willing to sell some shares, they are often a lion's mouth.

Blue sky special effects is also facing financial problems. This studio does not have the problems of large companies. It is undoubtedly a very suitable partner for Chenfei media.

I'm afraid the only problem is that the blue sky special effect has no reputation in the industry. In China, few people know its name, but Li Cha guarantees their standard.

If menggongfang hadn't just received an advertisement that needed to be completed, Li Cha would fly over in person.

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

The round building looks like a flying saucer. The silver gray glass curtain wall on the surface shines in the sun. The monument erected in front of the entrance gate is inlaid with a row of symbols and names of different companies.

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

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

As soon as the elevator door opened, the flash of the camera immediately lit up, which surprised Lu Chen and his three people!

I saw a group of young men and women gathered in the elevator hall. They were either holding SLR cameras or holding mobile phones, looking around happily.

"Mr. Lu Chen, welcome to our blue sky studio!"

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

Jenny just stepped out of the elevator door. She immediately introduced Lu Chen: "this is our studio CEO Mir Joyce."

Lu Chen suddenly reached out and shook hands with the other party: "nice to meet you, Mr. mill Joyce."

"Just call me mill..."

Mill smiled and said, "they are all my colleagues. I heard that you came to welcome you!"

This is undoubtedly the halo effect of "hero"!

Lu Chen smiled and said, "hello..."

It didn't matter if Lu Chen said hello. The employees of blue sky studio immediately surrounded him like fans chasing stars, asking for signature, group photo and hug!

Then upload the photos to their respective tbooks.

Lu Chen didn't expect these Americans to be so enthusiastic, but after all, he was used to seeing similar scenes and was able to cope with them one by one. He met their requirements one by one and made the atmosphere very harmonious.

This also shows that the blue sky studio is different from large companies, and its atmosphere is relatively loose. The boss and employees are more like close friends than strict superiors and subordinates.

After a simple and warm welcome, mill introduced Lu Chen to several important members of the studio, including his partner and chief special effects artist Christopher.

Christopher is a very shy young man. He is not tall and thin. He wears a pair of big black framed glasses, has acne on his face and stammers.

But Li Cha admired Christopher very much. He told Lu Chen on the phone that the 25-year-old young man was definitely a genius in special effects production. Half of the value of blue sky studio was in him!

Therefore, Lu Chen was very polite to Christopher, but made Christopher a little flattered.

Accompanied by mill, Christopher and others, Lu Chen and Chen Feier visited the studio.

The scale of blue sky studio is not very large. At present, the number of employees is less than 200. Compared with large companies with hundreds or thousands of people, the rented business site is also small and the interior is quite crowded.

However, the hardware level of this company is first-class. The workstations used for special effects production are new, and the operation processing capacity is very powerful. Moreover, they are proud of the digital synthesis software zpdt.

This set of digital synthesis software is undoubtedly the core technology of blue sky studio. It has been jointly developed by the three co founders for five years, and has been successfully applied to the special effects production of many film and television works, which has won a very good response.

Compared with the top software of the same type in the industry, zpdt has no advantages in technology, and even has deficiencies in detail processing and rendering effect, but its advantages are low learning difficulty and low use cost. In other words, it has high cost performance.

Moreover, blue sky studio also intends to further develop a more advanced version of zpdt, but it lacks sufficient funds.

At present, there are many special effects production companies and studios in Hollywood, and the competition between them is very fierce. If small enterprises such as blue sky studio cannot maintain continuous technological progress and win more business, they will either close down and go bankrupt or be swallowed up by large companies.

Both are obviously not what the three founders want to see, so they urgently need foreign investment.

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

Lu Chen has money!

The CEO of blue sky studio has long learned about the strength of Chenfei media through Li Cha, which is definitely not bad for money, so he tried his best to talk about his own technical strength and bright prospects.

To this end, he asked Christopher to demonstrate the special effect synthesis effect of zpdt's latest version 2.75 to Lu Chen.

Not only that, mill also took Lu Chen to the only digital studio in the studio, allowing the latter to personally experience the motion capture technology developed by the studio relying on zpdt!
