The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 169
Wang Cheng, the CEO of Shenyi Animation Company, looked helpless at the resignation confidence on his desk, but his face was full of concern: "Xiao Zhang, the company has treated you well in the past few years. It's only been three years, and you have already I have become the project director. I originally planned to hand over the third season of "Super Mini Warriors" to you to complete. You went to DreamWorks. Will they let you be the animation director or let you be in charge of a project alone? Wouldn't the year be wasted?"

Regarding the boss's persuasion, Zhang Wenbin still has a firm expression: "Mr. Wang, I thank the company for cultivating me in the past few years, but I don't want to do this kind of animation anymore. No matter how successful I am, I don't feel any sense of accomplishment. The sincerity shown was great, and I saw animation projects in them that I wanted to make."

Wang Cheng's face darkened, and he suppressed the displeasure in his heart: "You are a talent I value, and I also hope that you will have a good development in the future, but I still want to remind you that DreamWorks is a mixed bag in the film industry. Although he is still an amateur, it is not impossible for him to end up in the end. Tianhe Animation, which was acquired by him, is a living example.

The status quo of our domestic animation industry and animation market cannot be changed instantly, nor can the market be created by throwing money at it. "

Zhang Wenbin rolled his eyes inwardly for the boss's persuasion and reminder. When DreamWorks announced the establishment of three first-level animation projects, who posted in the circle of friends that the spring of Huaguo Animation is coming?

Who told everyone to hold back when faced with the salary increase demands of employees, saying that animation will be the next trend after the film and television industry, and when investment is brought in, everyone's good days are yet to come.

"Mr. Wang, I didn't make this decision impulsively. I have thought it through carefully. Even if the end result is the same as Tianhe Animation, as long as I can participate in it and produce truly excellent animation works, I think it is worth it." Zhang Wenbin still Unmoved.

Of course, these words sound careless and awe-inspiring, but Zhang Wenbin is not a sage who does not eat fireworks. Although he is already a project director in Shenyi Animation, the conditions offered by Mo are higher, not because the position is higher, but on the contrary. It is higher salary.

Even if he is already a project director, his monthly salary is less than 8000. As for the so-called animators, his monthly salary is only 3000. Therefore, most of the animators that [-]D animation can recruit are college graduates.

Not only is Mo paid more, but he also has the experience of participating in these high-level animation productions. Even if he encounters the ending of Tianhe animation, he will not worry about finding a new home.

This is the important reason why Mo Neng aggressively poached roles in the animation industry. Of course, feelings and ideals are not unimportant.

Seeing Zhang Wenbin who didn't enter the industry, Wang Cheng could only smile wryly in his heart. He didn't expect to become a victim of DreamWorks before the dreamworks catfish attracted hot money to enter the industry.

He knew that although the young man in front of him was the first to be poached, he might not be the last.

Coincidentally, the storm caused by DreamWorks in the animation circle has affected many animation companies, and even many game companies.

Because Mo will not only do 2D animation in the future, but also 3D animation, and the talents of 3D animation in China are actually far more than 2D animators. The special effects industry and the game industry have a lot of talent reserves.

After igniting the last fire in 2014, Chen Jingxing welcomed an uninvited guest from the other side of the ocean—the interview team of Time Magazine.

Not the Asian edition published on Hong Kong Island, but the American edition.

Chen Jingxing will become the third Huaguo director to appear on the cover of the American edition of Time Magazine.

The first two are Guoshi and Li An.

Of course, this is not due to his film art level. It is simply that the two films he released in the North American market this year have combined to earn hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. As a foreign director, such achievements are quite amazing. It can even be said that Hollywood has I haven't seen such a character for a long time.

As Chen Jingxing, who was once appraised by North American mainstream media as "the biggest discovery in the world film industry in 2014", he naturally got the attention of the American edition of Time Magazine.

However, Time magazine’s interviews are different from many other magazines. To put it bluntly, the form is greater than the content.

The character interviews released by Time Weekly are usually not conversational. Basically, they are the evaluation of the character by the editor of the weekly magazine or the description of the behavior of the reported character from a third-person perspective.

Maybe there is still an exclusive interview with Chen Jingxing here, but Chen Jingxing's article has been roughly published over there.

Therefore, Chen Jingxing did not spend much energy and time on the interview of Time Weekly, but after the communication between DreamWorks and the interview team, Time Weekly agreed to include his new movie "Gravity" in the published interview article of Chen Jingxing , about two or three sentences.

When DreamWorks announced the establishment of the "Gravity" project, it did not announce the name of the film. At that time, it was mainly marketing a 10 billion giant production, which aroused public attention.

And it didn't disclose the specific subject matter. Everyone just thought it was a blockbuster with special effects related to the universe and space-many people immediately thought of space operas like "Star Wars".

It can’t be blamed that netizens’ associations are too narrow. The last hard space sci-fi movie produced by Hollywood in this plane was "Apollo 95" shot in 13-it is more appropriate to say that it is a documentary movie. In the past 20 years, it can The Hollywood space sci-fi films that have impressed audiences around the world, and only "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" that can maintain a strong appeal in the torrent of comic changes, are very "old" IPs.

Now that Time Magazine has such a good opportunity, Chen Jingxing will certainly not let it go, and revealed the name and general theme of "Gravity" - a hard sci-fi space disaster film in the near future, through Time Magazine.

Although few people in China read Time Magazine, let alone the American edition, the Chinese media who can be featured on the cover of Time Weekly and interviewed must be very concerned about it, and it can also be exported to domestic sales in disguise.

After dealing with the interview with Time Magazine, Chen Jingxing fell into a more busy work, not only caring about Mo's animation talent recruitment, team reorganization and the launch of the "Star God" project, but also continuing to follow up on "Gravity" In addition to special effects preparations, Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown" and Guo Fan's "Operation Mekong" will also be launched one after another.

Chen Sicheng has finally formed a crew that satisfies him, and the special training of several actors on the Mekong River has come to an end. Whether it is the main investor of "Detective Chinatown" or the producer of "Operation Mekong", Chen Jingxing must attend The opening ceremony, but also to stay in the Mekong crew for a while.
