I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

"Gong Jun, you are back, have you received the reply?"

As soon as the short-haired young man returned to the rental room, the voice of his roommate came over.

Gong Jun shook his head.

"No."

"If you want me to tell you, why don't you just give up? There are so many companies that don't want it, so don't hold on. It's good for you to give up as soon as possible. Find a job quickly. Anyway, you don't have to worry about finding a job. Work."

The roommate's voice made Gong Jun feel depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

The project I thought of with so much hard work, I thought it would shine, but no company was interested in it.

It's not that the project is not good, but that the requirements of the project are too high.

High requirements mean high investment, and high investment also means high risk.

This makes many companies dare not put treasure on a newcomer.

Gong Jun returned to his room and turned on the computer.

Habitually click on the email.

Although there was no reply every time he opened it, he still had expectations in his heart.

In the process of waiting, even he couldn't help thinking about this question.

It's up to me to find a factory to work for.

Free food and housing, no 996.

But then an unread email in the mail caught his attention.

Click to take a look.

"Hi Gong Jun, I'm Xu Wen"

hiss!
Gong Jun was stunned for a moment, and his breathing became heavier unconsciously.

He stared at the mail in front of him, not letting go of a single word.

"I'm somewhat interested in your project. This is my assistant's phone number. You tell him that I asked you to contact him. He will arrange everything at that time. We will have a good chat when we meet, 1387XXXX6261."

With a buzzing sound, Gong Jun stared straight at the email.

The whole person's mind went blank.

Xu Wen replied to me
Director Xu Wen replied me
The next second, he suddenly came back to his senses, jumped up from his seat, and started shouting in the rental house.

"Director Xu replied to me!
Director Xu responded to me!

"

The roommate who didn't know the truth ran over and before he could ask, Gong Jun pressed his shoulder and sprayed three times excitedly.

"Director Xu replied to me! Director Xu replied to me! Director Xu replied to me!"

The poor roommate was sprayed with saliva before he could understand anything.

On the other side, Xu Wen closed the mailbox after reading the email.

This ID name: Gong Jun sent him a project that really aroused his interest.

It is nothing more than a bit difficult to implement.

Because this Gong Jun's project is anime!

Not a beaming animation.

It's an anime similar to Nezha.

And it's not Nezha's 3D animation, it's that kind of 2D animation movie project.

But anyone who has studied art knows that compared to 3D animation movies, 2D animations actually take more effort.

Because there is no modeling in 2D, every picture and every expression can only be hand-painted on a piece of paper.

This also led to the project of animation movies being much longer than normal movies.

A normal film may be finished in a few months.

However, it takes at least one or two years for a general animation film to be produced.

Over time, costs rise.

With all the expenses involved, the cost of an anime movie is even slightly higher than that of a movie. …

Basically, it is more than 3000 million, 5000-6000 million is the norm, and there are quite a few over [-] million.

Therefore, there are relatively few companies that can do animation.

And even fewer are willing to adopt new projects.

But this does not mean that there is no market for animation.

On the contrary, the animation market is bigger than the movie market.

In addition to online theaters, the most common thing for excellent animation is to release peripherals.

The money for some anime peripherals is even higher than the box office of the movie itself.

In addition to peripherals, adaptations into games, comics, and various joint names can bring a lot of income to the producer.

It can be said that when an animation is successful, it will not only make money from the movie itself.

It's the derivatives behind the movie.

That's what live-action movies can't say.

The reason why Xu Wen is interested in Gong Jun's animation project is not only that the project framework makes him feel familiar, but also because he is interested in trying to see how deep the water in the animation field is.

Anyway, now he has so many assets that he has many opportunities for trial and error.

That's why he thought about contacting Gong Jun to communicate.

For Xu Wen, this was just a whim, but for Gong Jun, it was like good news that fell from the sky.

It made him happy for several days.

And Xu Wen continued to devote himself to his work after dealing with the email.

At present, ten low-budget films have already started production.

Because it is a low-cost movie, there is no grand media conference.

Even the time cost is controlled within 2 months and the filming is completed as soon as possible.

Xu Wen here occasionally gave pointers, and his life was quite leisurely.

He has learned to lie flat now, and will no longer be as desperate as before.

Well, the most important thing is to be happy.

But not everyone has the same idea as Xu Wen.

After experiencing Huang Yu's incident, Zhang Min was obviously stimulated, so his professionalism was aroused.

In the past, her focus was on the creation of works, and to be honest, she didn't care much about the management of employees.

Everyone is well aware of this.

After all, human energy is limited, and it is impossible to have both.

But after this time, Zhang Min directly turned on the Saiyan mode.

Taking advantage of the autumn recruiting season, several film academies have sent out recruitment teams.

Give very good treatment to recruit directors, entertainers and other positions.

He planned to cultivate a few new seedlings to fight against Huang Yu.

In the artist department, He Mei and others were also arranged by Zhang Min to start bringing newcomers.

Xu Wen was indeed taken aback by such a vigorous and energetic appearance.

I told Zhang Min more than once to take it easy.

He has done a good job as a hands-off shopkeeper, but he doesn't want to take over from Zhang Min.

Zhang Min expressed disdain.

This work intensity is nothing to him at all.

Even with so much work to do, she can easily get off work at 4:[-] every day and pick up her children from kindergarten.

Xu Wen slandered in his heart.

Please!

You are the boss, even if you pick up the children at 3 o'clock, how many employees are there talking about?

and many more? ! …

When did Zhang Min create another child?
Facing Xu Wen's suspicious gaze, Zhang Min expressed indifference.

"I mean my sister's child."

"."

In addition to these, Xu Wen also began to participate in activities that he had never been interested in before.

Such as dinner.

Because he discovered that besides ruining Uncle Bi, the dinner party is also a place for news circulation.

A lot of news can be known here in advance.

The wine is strong and cowardly.

Under the catalysis of alcohol, many secrets hidden in my heart are easily exposed.

But if you don't say anything, it's because you didn't drink enough.

Just like not daring to hit the leader after being drunk, it is because you are not drunk enough.

Of course, with Xu Wen's status, he is more or less a great director.

But no one else poured him alcohol, it was others who were poured by him.

It was also during these dinners that Xu Wen learned about Huang Yu.

It is said that Huang Yu also faced a lot of pressure after going to the new company.

Originally, that company also had quite a few directors.

As soon as Huang Yu went, they directly squeezed their resources.

It’s okay if you grow up step by step in the company, but there are obviously many tests that the airborne ones have to face.

So Huang Yu also issued a military order in the company's top management.

It is necessary to shoot a movie that has a good reputation at the box office.

If it fails, then the next five years will be at the disposal of the company, and there is absolutely no objection.

It is also for this reason that his new company will spend 1 million yuan to invest in new works for him.

You know, without external investors, there are not many companies that can directly provide 1 million cash flow.

This amount of money is not a small amount for any company.

In addition to the company's 1 million yuan, Huang Yu also absorbed a lot of funds from the outside world.

The specific amount of funds is unknown, but it is not a lot.

At the same time, he also invited some big names with high status in the circle to come out to give his movie a good look.

It seems that it is booming, and everyone is vying for the big project they want to go to.

But in fact, in Xu Wen's eyes, this is also a dangerous building hundreds of feet high.

Let's see how Huang Yu will develop.

It is hard for Xu Wen to say whether it will be a slump or just a brilliant one.

To be honest, he didn't have as much resentment towards Huang Yu as Zhang Min did.

In the two years since he left the company, many KPIs of the company were completed by him.

After all, he still contributed to the company.

But maybe in Zhang Min's eyes, the company invested money and resources far more than the market value he produced.

When talking about Huang Yu, it is inevitable to talk about "Emerald".

At present, this drama can be regarded as falling to the point where the father does not love the mother.

Although the TV station is still broadcasting normally, but the promotion is considered to have given up.

Because it is useless not to give up, under the mighty offensive of "Dahe Dajiang", "Emerald" can do nothing but become cannon fodder.

Unless a certain actor or Huang Yu in the play suddenly breaks the news.

For example, scandals that are not scandalous, such as having a child in a hidden marriage, and becoming a father.

At present, it is not only "Emerald" that looks like this.

A lot of TV shows are not very good.

Although "Emerald" is still ranked No.2, compared with its investment, the ratings of this idea are a bit out of reach. …

fantuantanshu.
And this also made Zhang Min feel a little embarrassed to face Modutai.

The price that Modutai purchased "Emerald" is for the company to recoup its capital.

It's just that the effect of the broadcast is a loss for Modu TV.

I'm afraid that after this time, the possibility of selling high-priced TV series in the future is very low.

After all, this kind of thing is all prosperity and loss.

Fortunately, the current income of "Crazy Stone" is not bad.

In addition to the box office of the movie, the on-demand rate in Penguin is also very high.

It can be regarded as making up for some losses caused by "Emerald".

It's just that when Xu Wen faced Penguin's inquiry, he said helplessly that "Crazy Stone 2" no longer exists.

When capital sees what makes money, it always wants to shoot a sequel immediately.

But a story is over, how can there be so many sequels.

a few days later.

Xu Wen met the person he sent the email to.

Gong Jun.

Gong Jun in front of him has a square face and artistic long hair, which fills him with the temperament of a decadent youth.

But Xu Wen knew that this would be like this for anyone who locked himself up for a long time.

Artists call this mystery.

In fact, it is a bad spirit.

Gong Jun was taken by Xu Wen's assistant, and he was very excited when he saw Xu Wen.

"Director Xu, hello, I am your idol, I have liked your works since I was a child, this time."

Seeing the frizzy appearance, Xu Wen couldn't laugh or cry.

But Xu Wen didn't blame Gong Jun either.

Young people, they were unfamiliar at first.

Practice makes perfect is the number of times piled up.

Xu Wen smiled.

"This time I called you over to talk about your project. Tell me about your project."

"Oh oh oh, okay, Director Xu, look, I set it up at the beginning as a story about a magician and an ordinary human girl. My perspective is from the perspective of a girl."

Gong Jun took out an ipad and began to explain his idea to Xu Wen in conjunction with the above image.

Xu Wen listened slowly, and a familiar story began to appear in his mind.

"I don't think this is good."

"what?"

Gong Jun looked at Xu Wen, not understanding why Xu Wen interrupted him suddenly.

Xu Wen stretched out his hand and pointed to the image on the iPad.

"Why should the little devil be set as an alien species? In fact, it can be more visualized."

"for example?"

"It could be that Meteor is a fire demon, and he made a deal with him and handed over his heart."

Xu Wen said casually.

Gong Jun's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help blurting out.

"That's right! This is fine! I didn't expect you, Director Xu, to have researched animation."

Xu Wen smiled and did not answer.

It's not that he has studied animation, but that he has opened his eyes.

The reason why Gong Jun's animation attracted him was that he wanted to get involved in the animation field.

The second is the structure of his story, which is a bit like a familiar anime movie that Xu Wen had seen in his previous life.

"Howl's Moving Castle".

This movie by Mr. Hayao Miyazaki tells some sharp social issues in a healing style.

It is very popular no matter which country it is in, and its influence is also very large.

It's just that the imitation Hayao Miyazaki in front of me obviously doesn't have the brains and ideas of the original version.

Many parts of the story he told Xu Wen are a bit old-fashioned in Xu Wen's opinion.

There is not even an element of a moving castle, only a magic house that can change anywhere at will.

Therefore, in order to fully implement this animation, Xu Wen still needs to spend some effort on ordering him.

"And the magic house in your story, I think it's a bit superficial, we can expand our imagination a little bit."

"Expand again? Can it fly?"

Gong Jun froze for a moment.

Xu Wen shook his head.

"It's too buggy to be able to fly. After all, it's a house. It's better to turn the house into a robot, like a moving castle."

"The moving castle, let me go back and think about it."

Gong Jun murmured.

Xu Wen smiled.

"Although there are still many rough places in the story, the core is good. As long as it is carefully crafted, it may not be a good project."

"Now that this matter is settled, let's talk about the matter between the two of us."
