Page Pictures Animation Studios.
The first person in charge, Stephen Hillenburg, and the second person in charge, David Meisel, who is also the chief screenwriter of the department, were already waiting downstairs when Kyle arrived.
As soon as they met, Kyle gave them both a hug.
"Stephen, and David, you are so mean."
"I was discussing something with the ICQ company downstairs a few days ago, but you didn't tell me the news then, but instead called me now to inform me."
It must be said that Kyle's aggrieved expression stunned the two of them.
(The animation studio is not located in the Burbank area, but in Silicon Valley, and now shares a building with ICQ.)
Stephen said aggrievedly: "Boss, we didn't know you were coming a few days ago?"
David Messer followed up with, "That's right. We've been working on the post-production of SpongeBob SquarePants for several late nights, and Stephen hasn't had a rest for almost two days."
"Blame me, blame me~!"
I heard that they stayed up all night.
What else does Kyle have to say?
In fact, for the animated series of "SpongeBob SquarePants", Kyle only helped a little in the beginning, but rarely came in the later stages.
It's not that I don't want to come, but I just don't quite understand!
Besides, Kyle also believed that with their abilities, they could complete the task perfectly.
After all, one of them is the "Father of SpongeBob SquarePants"; the other is also the hero who later founded the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
With the right talent, funding and perfect data, what else can prevent SpongeBob SquarePants from running successfully?
At that moment, looking at Stephen and everyone in the animation department with dark circles under their eyes and their sloppy looks, and comparing them to Pixar's superior working environment, Kyle couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Adam and Clark go buy some milk tea and hamburgers right away. Remember to buy more."
After speaking to his two bodyguards, Kyle added, "Stephen, David, no matter how busy you are at work, you can't go hungry. Remember this in the future."
"Thank you, Boss."
Everyone in the animation studio cheered immediately.
Their kind behaviour means recognition of their work.
It must be said that Kyle has already had the small favours and small gestures. Of course, if you want to calm down these talents, the most important thing is "dollars in place". Everyone has to eat, man! These days, no matter how good the talk is, it is not as goodonsoffersalary in place.
What's the point of talking if you? have no money!
"SpongeBob SquarePants" completed 40 episodes in less than 4 months, which to be honest far exceeded Kyle's expectations.
Of course, this is also because of its poor picture quality!
After all, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is just a 2D animation with crude picture quality.
Otherwise, if it is done according to the standards of "Toy Story", it will take four years, not to mention four months. Of course, even if it is a 2D animation, if it is an animation with high-quality image requirements, it will take a long time to complete.
In the following time, Kyle and everyone in the animation studio watched several episodes of the 40 episodes of "SpongeBob SquarePants.
Result?
The result is of course quite funny little sponge;
Patrick who is lazy and doesn't like to take a bath;
The bald, snobby Squidward;
....
"SpongeBob SquarePants" is full of fun, popular science, and the mystery of marine life. The anthropomorphic setting makes the whole film wonderful. Undoubtedly, they did a very good job, which completely exceeded Kyle's original expectations!
"Everyone, after watching the finished film, I have to say, you did a great job!" Kyle said on the spot.
As soon as the words fell, everyone cheered again.
Stephen said: "Boss, as long as you are satisfied."
David Messer laughed and said, "Guys, this is only 40 episodes of the first season. We are going to make nearly 200 episodes in the future~!"
The other people present, in addition to cheering, also loudly discussed the future of "SpongeBob SquarePants" after its release.
"Dolly, Wes, guys, we've done a masterpiece together!"
"Winnie, you're recognised by the boss shows that our work over the past four months has not been in vain."
"Guys, this is just the beginning! We still have a lot to do to create one animated masterpiece after another!"
....
While everyone was frantically discussing the future, Kyle did not wait quietly, but said on the spot that he would give them a raise.
Kyle said loudly: "Guys, you heard me right, I am going to give you a raise. Starting from next month, whether you are a manager or a designer, as long as you are a member of Perfect Animation Studio, your salary next month will increase by 20%!"
Pay raise!
The crowd was immediately excited.
"Everyone, can you please be quiet for a moment, please?"
Kyle continued with a smile: "Are you satisfied with the salary increase? A soldier who doesn't want to be a good soldier. After "SpongeBob SquarePants" is officially broadcast, I will give you generous bonuses!"
"Not only that, in my plan, our animation studio is not just a department of Page Pictures. I think it will be a subsidiary animation company with great potential."
"Moreover, the animations we will make in the future are not just SpongeBob SquarePants. Guys, don't forget Finding Nemo. 3D computer animation is our main direction in the future, and theatrical movies are where we should go."
"Guys, our target is Pixar!"
The studio becomes an independent subsidiary?
Finding Nemo;
Theatrical 3D animated films;
The target is Pixar;
It has to be said that after hearing these words, not only the employees of the studio, but also the first person in charge, Stephen, and the second person in charge, Messer, were extremely excited on the spot.
They are all talented~!
Moreover, they are all talented people with their pursuits!
For a company that has no vitality and no development potential, even if they are given more money, employees may not be willing to stay there and wait for death.
"Stephen, David, tomorrow I will continue to invest $5 million in the animation studio to purchase computers and other 3D animation equipment. Of course, we will also recruit more people.can't have more than 100 people, even if we can't reach 400 people like Pixar. After all, in addition to continuing to plan SpongeBob SquarePants, we also have Finding Nemo to complete."
Kyle said.
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 released and its future is unknown. Even Stephen, the father of SpongeBob SquarePants, does not know how great the future of "SpongeBob SquarePants" will be.
"Findicomputer-animatedmputer animatedure film, this is what they are pursuing!
"Boss, don't worry, leave the purchase of, equipment to me," Stephen said with a smile.
Messer said directly: "Guys, I came from Pixar. This time when I recruit ill definitely dig up some talents from there."
Hearing this, Kyle's eyes lit up.
There are so many talented people at Pixar!
Just getting a few talented people here will greatly help the completion of "Finding Nemo".
The work of Stephen and others is clear at the moment.
Kyle will be busy again in the coming days. After all, SpongeBob SquarePants needs a platform to broadcast.
