Chapter 169： animation upstart
Blue Sky Studio, an animation studio. This studio is only a year behind the famous Pixar animation studio, but its reputation is far less than that of Pixar and Disney.
A layman like Gu Luobei can't tell the difference in technology, but Gu Luobei knows one thing. Blue Sky Studio's work has always been very outstanding, but they insist on slow work and meticulous work. Since 1986 From its establishment to what Gu Luobei knew in 2012, only seven animated feature films were produced. This is not only because Blue Sky Studio has always emphasized that "people's time is always more precious than machines" and "technology serves the needs of design", but also because Blue Sky Studio, which has only 200 people, is far from being able to compete with Pixar, DreamWorks, and Disney. Compared with other production groups, it can only be regarded as a workshop-style operation.
At this point, Blue Sky Studio is actually the same as today's Eleven Studio.
In fact, the technology of Blue Sky Studio is very outstanding. As far as Gu Luobei remembers, there are Blue Sky Studio in the list of technical teams including "Alien." and "Titanic". The famous signature work is the "Ice Century" series. If a mouse made Disney, then a squirrel made Blue Sky Studio.
This squirrel is exactly the cute squirrel that appears in "Ice Age" who tirelessly chases the acorn.
In addition to the "Ice Age" series, "Houghton and the Nameless" and "Rio Adventure"
All are the work of Blue Sky Studio. Although this workshop-style animation studio works slowly and works meticulously, and the works are pitiful, they can definitely be regarded as upstarts in the animation industry and have a reputation and supporters that are not inferior to Pixar, Disney, and DreamWorks.
Unexpectedly, the opportunity mentioned by Claus-Badelt actually came from Blue Sky Studio. Thinking about the current time, Gu Luobei easily came to a conclusion: Blue Sky Studio should be looking for a voice actor for "Ice Age" to be released next year.
"Ice Age" was produced by Blue Sky Studio and distributed by 20th Century Fox. It began production in 1999. It took three years to complete the production this summer. Blue Sky Studio required a perfect to almost harsh professional attitude, and successfully created the film. This animated cartoon that shocked North America.
The word "shock" is not an exaggeration to describe the "Ice Age". After the launch of "Ice Age", not only did the series of films that followed have achieved great box office wins, but the box office continued to rise from the second to the fourth. The global cumulative box office of the entire series actually reached 2.8 billion US dollars. Word of mouth has also been unanimously recognized by industry insiders. This makes Blue Sky Studio even more famous even if it is not as dominant as Pixar, Disney, and DreamWorks, but it still rises strongly in the animation industry. This shows the power of this "Ice Age".
However, as Gu Luobei said, he really has no time recently. Although he was still a little itchy after hearing about Blue Sky Studio, he also knew very well that doing what he wanted and being unrestrained was one thing. Since the release of "Death Illusion" and the release time of "One" were decided, he Also promise to participate in the promotion, that must be done. As for UK tours, animation dubbing, or anything else, just wait until this time is over.
"Actually, dubbing work can be long or short, just like recording an album. If you are in good shape, you don't need it for a week: of course, if you are in bad shape and don't go well, it's normal for two or three months." Klaus-Badel Still looked a little regretful.
In fact, Klaus-Badleter and Blue Sky Studios founder Chris-Weeky have only met a few times, mainly because he and David Newman, who is in charge of the animation soundtrack this time, are good friends. I know that Blue Sky Studio is looking for a voice actor for the latest work.
Of course, since the publisher is Twentieth Century Fox, voice actors are not a difficult task. Klaus-Badelt will mention it today, purely when chatting with Gu Luobei, he suddenly felt that Gu Luobei was very suitable, and that Gu Luobei could create a **** to try. You must know that a voice actor is not only an accumulation of acting skills, but also a different perspective on the recording process.
Hearing the words of Claus-Badelt, Gu Luobei didn't care at all. There are so many excellent works in this world. There are countless works he wants to appear in and he wants to participate in, but there is only one other person, so it is impossible to participate in everything. one foot. Missing out on the "Ice Age" is definitely not the end of the world.
Gu Luobei laughed and teased, "I think it's better for me to be good. Otherwise, Dais will be in a hurry and swing a knife behind me. That's not a fun thing." Badert couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing, Claus-Badelt looked at Gu Luobei, who was lying on the sofa again, and said casually, "Evan, why don't you ask Claire for the detailed itinerary? What if you have time?"
Gu Luobei didn't sit up this time, lay flat on the sofa, looked at the ceiling on the sky board, and said with a smile, "Klaus, why are you suddenly so obsessed with this matter? It seems that you He's also a stubborn guy." Klaus Badelt also said that the dubbing praise work, it depends on the state, maybe it will take a month? Then there must be a conflict with the release time of the album. There are still two weeks before the release of "Death Illusion", and the album release is estimated to be around that time, and the time for filming the MV has to be deducted. The schedule for the few days before the release of "Death Illusion" was reduced, so the time available to create gods was only about ten days.
Therefore, in Gu Luobei's view, there is no need to ask at all, but the stubbornness in Klaus-Badelt's bones has become unrelenting.
This time, Klaus-Badelt didn't answer any more. Although he was not active in looking after Luobei, he didn't refuse. After a brief silence in the studio, Klaus-Badleter was heard making another call.
Hearing the content of Claus-Badelt's call, Gu Luobei really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and suddenly sat up again, looking at Claus-Badleter with a half-smile.
Just now, the German uncle confirmed the detailed itinerary with Claire Dess. As Gu Luobei expected, Claire Dess said that he had only ten days of free time at most: followed by intensive publicity. Gu Luobei didn't know who Klaus-Badelt called after that, but he could guess from the content of the conversation that it should be someone from Blue Sky Studio.
After hanging up the phone, Claus Badert said excitedly to Gu Luobei, "Evan, let's go, let's go...
"Where to go? Blue Sky Studio? . Gu Luobei was a little surprised, but he didn't think that Klaus Badert was still an activist.
"Yes, go and have a look." Klaus stood up as soon as Badert snorted, with a gleam of excitement on his face "Go and have a look first. Not to mention whether there is enough time, you can Whether or not I can get this job is still unknown... Klaus-Badelt explained to Gu Luobei with a smile, "I just really think that you will be very good in your role as a voice actor. We can talk to Weiji in the past, and then talk about other things, they still haven't decided on the final voice actor anyway. "
Gu Luobei was stunned. How did things get here today? It seems that it was just because he brought up the topic of the recording studio, but after half an hour, it turned out that he was going to dub the cartoon. This leap-forward development is truly incredible.
However, Gu Luobei himself is so jumpy, and his ability to accept is naturally not trivial.
Closing his mouth and swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Gu Luobei also stood up, "Let's go!" Since Klaus-Badelt was so kind, he would be superfluous if he refused. What's more, whether it can be said in two, it will be too late to consider the issue of time after it is done: even if it is not possible, it is a good experience to visit the production company of "Ice Age".
When he arrived at Greenwich Village, Gu Luobei immediately became very excited.
In fact, when he guessed that the work that was looking for a voice actor was "Ice Age", he was still very excited. After all, this cartoon is indeed very good, and he likes it very much, especially that there is no line in it. , but the little squirrel that steals the spotlight.
Now I am standing in front of Blue Sky Studio, and the smile on my face naturally blooms.
Greenwich Village, located in the West Side of New York, is the home base of countercultures such as writers, artists, and idealists This is not only the base camp of New York art, but also an important source of modern American thought. The quaint historical building district and the uninhibited bōsimian style are the beautiful scenery in the long streets and short alleys of Greenwich Village, where the Blue Sky Studio is located.
The Blue Sky Studio, which accommodates 200 employees, is not a big one. The office that occupies an entire floor does not feel like a company at all. From the streamlined counter at the entrance and the cute long-eared rabbit stand, you can see the small workshop. Art style. This long-eared rabbit is the cartoon character that won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film for Blue Sky Studios in 1999.
Walking into the office, the brown carpet, the warm yellow walls, the sapphire blue door frame, the white coffee table, and the colorful colors make the whole environment lively and jumping. Sitting on a soft white chair not far from the door, the glass wall on the left can create a **** to see the artistic Greenwich Village, and the first studio on the right has only a lamp on, which can see through. Through the light, you can see the clip art on the table and the wall, as well as brushes, drawing papers, drawing boards and other utensils are piled up in a mess.
The strong studio atmosphere is blowing.
Before Gu Luobei could sit in the chair, he saw Claus-Badelt standing up from the opposite side, and a calm and unfamiliar middle-aged voice came from his ears: "Badelt, welcome." @.
