Chapter 1036 In Business Talks Business (two chapters in one)

"Mr. Yang, this is the "Silite Bear Hunter" released the year before last. It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. Our ingenuity is mainly responsible for the production of these contents..."

There was no break at noon. After returning from lunch, everyone continued the meeting in the office of Qianyu Media.

It was mainly introduced by Mi Wenren, such as the ingenuity of the craftsman, the previously self-made animation content, some major Chinese and foreign projects he has participated in, etc. He has prepared a lot of content, including PPTs, videos, and even the ingenuity of the craftsman for "Frozen". Some character setting albums prepared in advance for the project "Fate".

Qianyu Media had previously reported that the animated film project that it wanted to produce was "Frozen". Wu Lan also sent a video of Ouyang Xiaoqing and the others' performances abroad to interested companies.Therefore, if the craftsman wants to cooperate with Qianyu Media, it is still necessary to make some preparations in advance.

Although Yang Qian already had a relatively in-depth understanding of the foundation of the craftsman's ingenuity in the investigation report given to him by Wu Lan, he still listened to Mi Wenren's introduction very carefully and made a comprehensive review of the craftsman's ingenuity in animation production technology. learn.

It has to be said that although Mi Wenren seemed to be avoiding the most important in his narration—the achievements of the craftsman’s ingenuity in the past are very precious, but he is not clear about the problems existing in the craftsman’s ingenuity—but in Yang Qian’s view, the artisan’s ingenuity technology, It is indeed very good!

Judging from the business survey report provided by Runyuan Real Estate, the craftsman's technical level is first-class in the industry.Of course, compared with domestic counterparts.

What kind of level is this top-notch in the industry, Yang Qian doesn't know, neither does he.

But Yang Qian could tell that Mi Wenren showed the animation videos they made before, whether they were self-made or those large Chinese and foreign projects that they participated in, the pictures were more beautiful and smooth.

The design of the animated characters is also pleasing to the eye, not too naive or rough, and even has a higher level of ability than well-known foreign animations.

Moreover, it doesn't mean that the craftsman's ingenuity makes special effects for others are particularly good, but the self-made special effects are terrible.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the ingenious self-made animations in terms of visual effects. If you don't understand the plot, then Yang Qian will think that they are domestic animations worth watching.

It's a pity that Yang Qian has long known that the ingenious self-made animation scores are very low, and those that cannot be shown in theaters will not generate much popularity on domestic video websites, and the only self-made animation that can be shown in theaters has also suffered a lot at the box office. .

The failure of these self-made animation projects may also be part of the reason why the craftsman's ingenuity has slipped into the abyss of financial crisis step by step.

The main reason is poor management and operation.Because of the lack of a reasonable long-term plan, the company relied on its previous experience to support the epidemic, but after the epidemic, it took on a difficult and long-term project. Mi Wenren was still very excited, because he was able to cooperate with a top international animation production company Learned a lot.

But in this way, the fragile capital chain of the craftsman's ingenuity can't be stretched all of a sudden.

Mi Wenren, the helm of the company, has to take the blame!
Yang Qian sympathizes with Mi Wenren's experience. He has always admired people with dreams, and he approves of Mi Wenren's idea of ​​building a Chinese animation company that can rival the best animation production companies in Hollywood.

However, dreams are often invisible and intangible. In reality, there are very few people who can break through themselves and realize their lofty dreams.

Mi Wenren is obviously not among them. He has limited abilities and loves to toss.

The members of the team also showed an extremely "biased" situation-there is no technology, but there is a lack of a good director who can guide a self-made animation film, and a good screenwriter who can write a wonderful script.

So, they can be great in other people's projects, but make a mess of their own...

"Mr. Yang, these are a set of character and background setting albums made by our team members based on your "Frozen" story. Of course, the time is limited and the work is relatively rough. What criticism does Teacher Yang have? You can tell us, we will change according to Teacher Yang's ideas later..."

Although there is an air conditioner in the bedroom, Mi Wenren was still sweating profusely. He also took the beautifully printed picture album from his assistant and handed it to Yang Qian, Wu Lan and other executives of Qianyu Media.

It's really not easy...

Yang Qian looked at it with some compassion.

However, in business and business, Yang Qian knows that dreams cannot be eaten, and the investment of Qianyu Media also needs to be implemented, not for charity for Mi Wenren!

Therefore, although Yang Qian had something to say in his heart, he didn't say much, as if he didn't want to express his opinion on these.

Of course, in fact, when Yang Qian looked at the set collections made by the craftsmen, he saw their intentions and the excellent art level of the craftsmen.Although there is almost no similarity with the original version, the overall effect is quite in line with the style in Yang Qian's mind!
It can be said that if they change according to what Yang Qian said, they should be able to restore the effect Yang Qian wants to a great extent!

But Yang Qian kept his opinion and did not speak out to Mi Wenren and the technical director of their company for the time being.

In this office, Wu Lan is in charge of negotiations!

"Mr. Mi, it can be seen that the ingenuity of craftsmen has indeed produced many excellent works. I heard you introduce them just now, and some of them are familiar..."

Wu Lan smiled and said to Mi Wenren.

"Yes, like "Silite Bear Hunter" and "Wukong Biography", these movies have enjoyed a good reputation at home and abroad, and they have also achieved a lot at the box office!"

Mi Wenren quickly echoed.

"However, Mr. Mi, I would like to know how much of the artisan's ingenuity has the right to make independent decisions in the works you introduced above? In addition, can you introduce the income ratio of self-made works and cooperative projects."

When Wu Lan changed the subject, what he said made Mi Wenren's forehead sweat even more. While he was still smiling, he involuntarily picked up a towel to wipe off the sweat.

These few questions directly hit the key point of the craftsman's ingenuity!
What's more troublesome is that even if Mi Wenren is aware of the company's operational problems, he won't be able to come up with a solution for a while.

Mi Wenren came to Qianyu Media to attract investment. In fact, he also felt that Yang Qian was playing music and didn't know much about the animation production industry.And in his opinion, Yang Qian is quite a good person, with a heart of ancient ways, and he might be willing to lend a helping hand to help the craftsman get out of the difficulties with ingenuity.

Of course, if Yang Qian is willing to invest, Mi Wenren will still follow the normal financing process, not to ask Yang Qian to do charity, they provide financial support, and Mi Wenren will also exchange the shares of craftsmanship.

However, this investment is indeed a venture capital investment, and it is also an extremely risky investment!
After all, Mi Wenren himself knows that craftsmanship has no valuable assets, and has not incubated any valuable animation IP in the past few years. It is almost impossible for such a company to go public.

In this way, it is very likely that Yang Qian's investment will not be recovered, and the bamboo basket will be empty. So what is the difference between this and charity?

Mi Wenren just wanted to have the cheek to find Yang Qianla for investment, but he didn't have enough cheek and courage to deceive Wu Lan who obviously already knew their company to a certain extent.

"Mr. Wu, to be honest, the ingenuity of the craftsman has really put a lot of effort into the cooperation project, which has also caused us to pour a lot of resources into the cooperation project, and the revenue ratio is overwhelming in this respect. But we are also working hard. Promote the research and development of our self-made animation, and hope that one day we can see our ingenious works on the list of domestic animation. In addition, during the period of cooperation with well-known animation film projects at home and abroad, our team has also made great progress. Not only have we learned their techniques, but our team members have also been tempered and have withstood the test of high-standard CG production. It can be said that we have the ability and experience to produce first-class animation films!"

Although Mi Wenren was frank, he didn't make it very clear. He was still trying to talk about the strengths of their team, so as to cover up the various problems of their team.

It's a pity that Wu Lan is no longer the ordinary little manager she was three years ago.

In the past three years in Qianyu Media, Wu Lan's biggest growth is not actually becoming a well-known agent in the industry with Yang Qian, but under the arrangement of Dai Zhenhong, she received the senior manager training of Runyuan Real Estate and regularly participated in In the operation of some commercial projects of Runyuan Real Estate - although she is just a bystander, Wu Lan has learned a lot with such good resources.

It can be said that Wu Lan three years ago was just an excellent manager, but Wu Lan three years later has grown into a qualified professional manager!

She may not be ranked high in Runyuan Real Estate, but it is still no problem to manage Qianyu Media, and she can also perform well when leading a business negotiation.

"Mr. Mi, the ingenious technical team is indeed very good. I have also inquired about it. The directors who work with you all praise you very much. This is also the most basic condition for us to cooperate with you. If the ingenuity is really not enough, We look down on it, so there will be no communication between us this time, don't you think?"

Wu Lan's smile made Mi Wenren startled.

Why didn't the "praise" from her mouth bring him the joy of "being praised" at all?
Mi Wenren had already expected that there would be a "but" in the end, so he smiled wryly and nodded hesitantly.

"However, Mr. Mi, we all know that before this, we also communicated on the phone. The cooperation that Qianyu Media wants is not only the animation film project "Frozen", we already have another one The film project is ready to start, and the special effects production also needs to find a cooperative company”

Sure enough, Wu Lan said "but", but the other film project she mentioned made Mi Wenren's spirits rise from a listless state.

Does Qianyu Media want to invest in other film projects?
Mi Wenren knew that Qianyu Media used to specialize in music, and it might be a little inexperienced to make movies, and it is very likely that it will hit the street.But Qianyu Media is rich and powerful. They have Yang Qian, a top singer, to make money, and they also rely on Runyuan Real Estate, a domestic top [-] company, with tens of billions of assets to support them to realize their dreams.

If craftsmen can also participate in it, and even play a more important role in Yang Qian's film project, then they may really have no shortage of funds!
Moreover, Yang Qian's movie may not hit the street!
Yang Qian has had success stories. The film "My Motherland" won the box office championship last year and entered the top ten box office in domestic film history.Even though Yang Qian only participated in this movie as a soundtrack composer, he dare not underestimate Yang Qian's ingenuity. He can achieve such good results just after entering the film and television drama industry. The ingenuity of the artist can only be envied!

What's more, among other things, Mi Wenren is very optimistic about the project of "Frozen". He is already amazed just by watching the performance videos of foreign musicals. Imagine the effect of adapting it into an animated movie in his mind. , Mi Wenren also thinks this film will be a hit!

That's why Mi Wenren was so active and valued Yang Qian so much!
"There will be a lot of animation projects, like the "Go to the Zoo" I showed you in the morning, it can be made into an animated short film suitable for young children to watch, and then I can also write more related music, which can be made into a A large series of animated short plays even form a very good commercial IP."

Yang Qian couldn't help but interjected, telling Wu Lan about his previous thoughts.

"Ms. Yang still has a short animation project? Our craftsmen are good at this."

When Mi Wenren heard about it, he immediately expressed his opinion excitedly, and talked about their experience in the production of animated shorts.

"So, Mr. Mi, we Qianyu Media actually want to reach a long-term cooperation with the craftsman, but for a long-term cooperation, we need to have a foundation that can trust each other. I believe that we have a common wish. Because the cooperation that craftsmen want with ingenuity is not just one or two projects, right?"

Wu Lan brought back the topic that was distracted by Yang Qian.

"Yes, to be honest with Mr. Yang and Mr. Wu. Now craftsmen need financing, but we don't want to find some venture capital funds who don't understand movies or animation. After all, in our animation production industry, investment and return It may not be directly proportional, and in many cases, it takes a long time to see the return. Therefore, now we hope to be able to cooperate with Qianyu Media, and to be an investor like Mr. Yang who is willing to devote himself to a work and achieve long-term success. partnership."

Mi Wenren didn't hesitate any more, he was just a little reserved, but he almost spoke out the ingenuity of the craftsman.

"Mr. Mi is right. A good work needs to be crafted. But I don't agree with the return. For a good work, its investment and return must be in direct proportion, because it's either we say it's good or it's good. Well, it is really good if the market judges it and the audience agrees, Mr. Mi, right?"

Wu Lan's words made Mi Wenren's face turn red and white, and he could only nod with a wry smile.

It is true that every sentence hits Mi Wenren's pain point, but he is not pedantic. Wu Lan's words are very reasonable, and he has to admit it.

"Whether it's a company or a work, if we don't pursue returns, it can only lead to one result. That is, we can't survive ourselves!"

This sentence can be regarded as completely uncovering the scars of the craftsman's ingenuity.
