The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 150 Sci-fi animation works that do not exist in this plane
Unlike many people's imaginations of special effects companies, Mo's animation team has strong technical strength, and even half of Mo's special effects strength is supported by the animation team.

It’s just that before DreamWorks became a shareholder, Mo’s overall development idea was inclined to the later stages of film and television dramas, and the animation team also served special effects, although he also took on some animation production work-many animation films are not a company alone. The production cycle of animation is relatively long, and the production cycle can be shortened by dividing the work among different companies.

And Chen Jingxing wanted Mo to expand the animation department, and he even planned to acquire an animation company to directly merge with Mo's animation department.

And all this is for his anime project.

There are many sci-fi classics in the previous world that have not been born here, and these sci-fi classics certainly include animation works.

Such as "Cowboy Bebop", "EVA", "Ghost in the Shell", "Red Pepper", "Wall-E" and so on.

Some of these works are animations, some are movies, and some can produce both animated dramas and expanded theatrical movies.

Even if there is only one movie of "WALL-E", it is not impossible to make a drama, which can tell the birth of "WALL-E" and the life before the feature film.

There are some works that can last DreamWorks for 10 years, or even more than 10 years.

There are also some sci-fi works that are also suitable for animation, such as "Ball Lightning", "46 Billion Ensemble of Evolution", and "Rebirth of Super Battleship" (the animated version can be renamed Space Super Battleship).

Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, he now has both the capital and the ability to try, so why not do it?

Xu Sheng was surprised and pleasantly surprised that Chen Jingxing did not take on the important task of animation production, while Xiang Xuan, the head of the animation team, seemed to be in a dream.

In fact, he also has an animation dream in his heart, but sometimes it is more difficult for animation companies to live than for effect companies. Apart from the kind of cheating subsidy, and he also has a love for the post-production visual effects industry, these young fantasies are also I can only hide it in my heart.

And now this dream that he dared not dream of for a long time unexpectedly hit him on the head directly.

However, he calmed down quickly after being pleasantly surprised: "Mr. Chen, it is not easy to form an animation team that is truly capable of producing high-quality animation works. It requires the selection of talents and the running-in of the team, and it will take time, not in the short term." It can be done within."

After speaking, Xiang Xuan looked at Chen Jingxing's frowning again, and was silent for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he continued: "If there is a complete team as the main frame, the effect will be better."

After hearing this, Chen Jingxing understood. In fact, he also tended to acquire a mature animation team, merge with Mo, absorb Mo's animation team, and become an animation department with strong production capabilities.

As for why not directly belong to DreamWorks, or spin off Mo’s animation team and form an independent animation subsidiary with the acquired animation team, the main reason is that Mo’s technical strength is growing rapidly, and it is not appropriate to put animation The department is spun off.

Because animation itself is an inseparable part of special effects, such as cg special effects, there is no problem at all if you call it cg animation.

Incorporating this merged animation department into Mo's structure can also enhance Mo's technical strength in special effects, which is the maximum use of resources and can also reduce administrative communication costs for cross-company cooperation.

Of course, if one day Momo really becomes a world-class large-scale special effects studio, or its scale and organizational structure expand to a certain extent, it is not impossible to spin off the animation department at that time.

However, Chen Jingxing's idea is not good for him to put forward directly. Whether it is a merger between subsidiaries, or Chen Jingxing directly injecting a large amount of capital into Mo to allow him to acquire an animation company, it will lead to a major change in equity. In other words, the four founders of Mo The stake will inevitably be diluted again, which is equivalent to a financing from DreamWorks to Mexico.

Although Chen Jingxing has obtained the controlling position, the controlling position is to allow him to act arbitrarily at critical moments, not to allow him to act as a master at all times to direct and interfere with Mo's normal operations.

What he wants is not an empty shell of ink, but an ink with these four founders.

What Chen Jingxing runs is not a real estate company, but an enterprise driven by creativity and technology. He must respect the company's core assets - talents.

As Xiang Xuan, one of the four founders of Mo and also the head of the animation team, offered such an opinion, Chen Jingxing was naturally relieved.

Now that a breakthrough has been made, the rest of the matter is relatively easy to talk about. Through Chen Jingxing's further increase, he continued to use these classic animation works in his mind to lure him, and finally got the four founders to agree to the plan in principle without bloodshed.

DreamWorks came forward to acquire an animation company, and then merged into Mo, and merged with Mo's own animation team into an animation department.

Chen Jingxing's initial goal has been achieved. Although it took a lot of effort, he thinks it is quite worthwhile.

In his opinion, each of the four founders of Mode is a rare talent. As a new type of capitalist, what he wants is for them to be happy and willing to work for him, not to work for him full of resentment. live.

As for the job of finding a suitable animation company, he handed it over to Xu Sheng. Of course, DreamWorks will also look for suitable prey in the market, and it is Chen Jingxing himself who makes the final decision.

After finishing the establishment of the animation department, Chen Jingxing then talked about the "Gravity" project that everyone was looking forward to. He planned to ask Mo to make a "Gravity" first. cg preview.

At the same time, Xu Sheng and others were asked to make a budget courseware for the "Gravity" project. It does not need to be very detailed, but it is necessary to roughly estimate how many special effects shots are involved in the whole project, and what kind of special effects production technology is involved. Which special effects studios, and the approximate production costs of different parts.

Chen Jingxing relied on these things to get the four shareholders of DreamWorks and Guoying. Except for Qin Zhonghe, these people were all real capital incarnations. Unlike the idealists on Mo's side, it was a more difficult battlefield.

However, Chen Jingxing already had a plan in mind. The results of "Signal" and the second round of financing allowed DreamWorks to reserve sufficient ammunition, giving him the confidence to face any outcome. "Filming is complete.

But it will take some time, because soon "Signal" will be officially released in the North American market, which is expected to have the second largest ticket warehouse.
