Chapter 330 Nebula Animation Established, Ark Culture Headquarters Site Selection
Life is amazing.

Some people can share wealth, but not share adversity.

Some people can share adversity, but not wealth.

Liang Jing also experienced team differences within the studio, and only then did he gain a deeper understanding.

When their studio was broke, they had nothing but the craft of drawing and the passion for animation.

The original five-person studio entrepreneurial team came together with the enthusiasm for animation.

During the period when they could not find investment, they went through the most difficult stage of entrepreneurship together.

After receiving Fang Xing's investment, the studio has a clear goal and a foundation for making animated films.

After "Spirited Away" was released, the five people in their studio became the target of capital pursuit overnight.

Countless investment companies want to invest in their studios, and they have offered many conditions that they could not imagine before.

For them, happiness came so suddenly.

As if overnight, they became the hottest characters in the animation circle.

"Spirited Away" brought them wealth, honor and applause.

They went from penniless to hot in the time of an animated movie.

Facing the temptation coming to us, most people can't resist the temptation, and they are just one of them.

Not only the pursuit of capital, but also many big animation companies approached them, promising generous salaries and positions.

In the end, after the five members of the entrepreneurial team of the studio had a meal, they each went their separate ways with their investment.

"We are very happy to have worked with everyone. During the period of making "Spirited Away", although I was busy with black and white, I still feel very emotional when I look back..."

Liang Jing raised his beer glass, exhaled and continued: "After drinking this glass, we will go our separate ways and continue to pursue what we want in our hearts.

"Wealth, dreams, life, honor, everything is beautiful.

"Although we will not open a studio together in the future, there will definitely be opportunities to cooperate in the future, so I will do it first!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his beer glass and sipped it.

The other four people also drank the wine in the toast together.

Although the five people have their own places and no longer open a studio together, they are still friends.

……

In the end, Liang Jing and Zhou Pengyu, the art supervisor of the entrepreneurial team, brought along some animators who were willing to follow them, and joined the animation company "Xingyun Animation" acquired by Fang Xing.

Wang Hongyuan, the colorist in the team, accepted the invitation of a major animation company in the industry and joined the painting technology.

The remaining two studio founders accepted the investment from Dingsheng Capital and Pengcheng Capital, registered the studio as an animation company "Shengtian Animation", and operated it independently.

Dingsheng Capital and Pengcheng Capital also invested in a new animation project, which was handed over to "Shengtian Animation" for production, and the preliminary preparations began soon.

……

the other side.

The animation company acquired by Fang Xing was renamed "Xingyun Animation".

Liang Jing and Zhou Pengyu joined as the company's leadership.

After getting acquainted with the company's situation, Liang Jing couldn't wait to start a new project.

After all, the former team members already have new animation projects in progress, and he also hopes to start new projects as soon as possible.

Fang Xing was not in a hurry to let them make a new animation movie.

After all, "Ningyun Animation" was originally an animation company on the verge of bankruptcy, and the animation team brought by Liang Jing from the studio was not large.

The number of animators in "Nebula Animation" is not enough. If we start a new animation film now, the preparation progress will be very slow.

Therefore, Fang Xing sent the HR team of Ark Culture to work with Liang Jing to recruit people first and expand the team size of "Nebula Animation".

During the period of recruitment, "Ningyun Animation" first took on some outsourced animation work.

Outsourcing is a very common job in the animation industry, and the main source of income for many small companies is the outsourced animation production.

"Ningyun Animation" has just been acquired, and it will take a period of time to optimize the company structure, and start new projects after the company's animation production level meets the requirements.

……

After the cross-shareholding between Ark Culture and Penguin Pictures, it has gained convenience in many ways.

However, there is still a long way to go before Ark Culture can become a giant company in the entertainment industry.

Fang Xing never puts all his eggs in one basket, so Ark Culture still needs to find more support, especially from the national level.

A few months ago, Fang Xing had inquired about it.

Jiangning Town in Ningyun District of the East China Sea is planning to build a cultural industry park.

According to the planning of Ningyun District, it is planned to build an industrial park that integrates multiple cultures including writers' village, film and television culture, and ethnic culture in the cultural industrial park.

Fang Xing had considered a few months ago, placing the headquarters of Ark Culture in this cultural industry park in Ningyun District.

However, this is a project planned by the local government, and it does not mean that the headquarters can be placed in the Cultural Industry Park of Ningyun District.

Fang Xing had contacted the Planning Office of the Cultural Industry Park in Ningyun District before and learned some basic information.

However, at that time the new album had just been released, and Spirited Away had not yet been released.

At that time, the valuation of Ark Culture was only 2.5 million. Although the financial situation was good, the funds were not particularly large.

If you want to arrange the company's headquarters in the Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park and get the attention of the leaders of Ningyun District, you must make a big move.

Now that "Spirited Away" is out at the box office, Ark Culture can get 6 million box office share.

Of course, the 6 million yuan will not be credited immediately, but will be credited gradually after the theaters get back the money.

With these 6 million, many plans can be launched.

Fang Xing found a famous designer in the construction industry to design a headquarters building of Ark Culture, and then set up a team to take charge of the headquarters building project.

After writing the plan, take the plan to visit the Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park Planning Office.

Fang Xing plans to approve a piece of land in the Cultural Industry Park in Ningyun District to build the Ark Cultural Headquarters Building and the headquarters park. It is estimated that the total investment will be 20 billion in three years.

A project of 20 billion is a very large project.

Ark Culture doesn't even have 20 billion now.

However, this is not a problem.

Bank loans, as well as revenue for the next three years, can support this project in many ways.

The 20 billion project is enough for the leaders of Ningyun District to pay attention to it.

What Fang Xing needs now is the support of the local leaders, this is the most powerful help.

The reason for choosing the cultural industry park in Ningyun District.

Fang Xing also thought about it, before making this decision, he had already inquired about it.

The current leader of Ningyun District is very capable and courageous.

The cultural industry park in Ningyun District will be a key project in Ningyun District in the next ten years.

As a cultural company, Ark Culture just meets the requirements of the Cultural Industry Park and directly brings a 20 billion project.

In addition, after the headquarters of Ark Culture is located in Ningyun District, it will bring a large amount of tax revenue to Ningyun District in the future.

If this project is successful, it will be one of the top five major projects in Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park.

……

Just as Fang Xing expected.

The "Ark Cultural Headquarters Building Plan" was quickly handed over from the Planning Office of the Cultural Industry Park to the desk of the chief executive in Ningyun District.

Because a 20 billion project can no longer be decided by the Cultural Industry Park Planning Office, it needs to be decided by the leader of Ningyun District.

Of course, a 20 billion project does not mean that it can be decided by decision.

A week after the plan was handed in.

Fang Xing received an invitation to visit the Cultural Industry Park in Ningyun District.

This situation is completely expected.

Fang Xing only brought Qiao Yinghong to visit the Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park.

This time I will meet with the leaders of Ningyun District, so I need to be more cautious.

Qiao Yinghong has seen the world, is also very stable, and has no problem communicating.

Nine o'clock on Wednesday morning.

Fang Xing and Qiao Yinghong took the company's commercial vehicle to Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park.

In the Cultural Industry Park Planning Office, I met several leaders of Ningyun District.

The head of the office immediately made an introduction.

Among the several district leaders, there was a tall, thin, middle-aged man with bright eyes. He was the leader of Ningyun District, named Liu Jian'an.

Fang Xing went up to shake hands with Liu Jianan, the leader of Ningyun District, and then the group went to visit the Cultural Industry Park.

The construction of the Cultural Industry Park has already begun, and it has taken shape in three years.

The next step is to introduce the cultural industry.

However, the cultural industry park in Ningyun District does not require all industries, and there are also requirements for the imported cultural industries.

Fang Xing visited the Cultural Industry Park and chatted with Ning Yun's top leader Liu Jian'an during the visit.

"I heard that Ark Culture is a subsidiary of Penguin Group?" During the chat, Liu Jian'an asked a seemingly casual question.

Hearing this question, Fang Xing was not surprised.

In fact, it has long been expected that this matter will definitely be asked.

When Ningyun District received the proposal for the Ark Cultural Headquarters Building, it was impossible to blindly accept the 20 billion project.

Ningyun District must have investigated the background of the Ark culture in advance.

A company that dares to invest 20 billion in projects is not much in the entire East China Sea.

The names of these companies are basically recognizable.

However, the name Ark Culture is not very familiar.

The reason is also very simple. Ark Culture has only been registered for two and a half years.

A company, two and a half years, is usually just getting started.

However, Ark Culture is a special case. It is already an existence that can rake in 25 billion box office with just one animated film.

Hearing Liu Jian'an's question about the relationship between Ark Culture and Penguin Pictures, Fang Xing smiled and replied, "The cross-shareholding between Ark Culture and Penguin Pictures has nothing to do with Penguin Group itself."

Penguin Films is a subsidiary of Penguin Group, and Ark Culture and Penguin Films have cross-shareholdings.

There is indeed no direct relationship between Ark Culture and Penguin Group.

Fang Xing paused and added: "Ark Culture operates independently and is not under the jurisdiction of other companies. As for the cross-shareholding with Penguin Pictures, it is also for the development of the company."

Liu Jianan has been engaged in economic construction for decades, and he has never seen anything.

He is too aware of the difficulties faced by a new company with great potential like Ark Culture.

The potential of Ark Culture is great, but the company is too young, with no connections or background.

In the eyes of capital, Ark Culture is a piece of fat.

A large group of wolves, tigers and leopards wanted to pounce on it and bite off a piece of meat from Ark Culture.

Therefore, after reading the materials of Ark Culture, Liu Jianan already knew the real purpose of the cross-shareholding between Ark Culture and Penguin Pictures.

Similarly, he knows better what the purpose of Ark Culture is to enter the Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park.

This is looking for shelter at the local level and driving away those predators who are like tigers and wolves.

Liu Jian'an is a very courageous leader. He likes capable young people and hates the ugly eating of capital predators.

He planned the cultural industry park of Ningyun District, and also had the idea of ​​supporting the cultural industry of Ningyun District.

Now, Fang Xing wants to enter the Cultural Industry Park.

From all aspects, Ark Culture meets the requirements of the Cultural Industry Park.

Of course, there is a premise that whether Ark Culture can afford the 20 billion project.

Liu Jian'an showed no emotion on his face, and then asked: "I read the information, and the valuation of your Ark Culture is about 10 billion. Is it too big a step to plan to invest in a project of 20 billion?"

Since Fang Xing dared to hand over a plan for an investment of 20 billion, he was already fully prepared.

If you consider your own secrets, it is not difficult to invest 20 billion in three years to build the Ark Culture Headquarters Building.

However, Fang Xing couldn't explain it that way.

"Secretary Liu, I have done a revenue analysis of the music and film and television drama industry in the past ten years. Based on the current songs and film and television drama content of Ark Culture, there will be at least [-] million in revenue in the next ten years..."

Fang Xing took out the plan he had prepared in advance: "This is the situation where I will do nothing from now on. And the animation movie that has just been released will have a box office share of [-] million.

"After the movie is broadcast on the Internet, it is estimated that there will be another [-] million in revenue.

"Even if I don't apply for a bank loan, I can solve half of the 20 billion investment now.

"In the next three years, I believe that 20 billion projects will not be a problem."

Liu Jian'an chuckled, and didn't explain why he should hit Fang Xing.

However, he has seen too many companies that have taken too many steps, and they have to go bankrupt and liquidated in the end.

After all, in business operations, it is impossible for all projects to make money.

If a company's financial situation is in trouble, it only needs one loss-making project, which will cause the company's capital chain to break, and eventually go bankrupt and liquidate.

Therefore, Liu Jianan only looks at the results, and never listens to entrepreneurs.

Of course, he is really optimistic about the Ark culture.

After all, Ark Culture is indeed a high-quality cultural enterprise now, and must find a way to attract it to the industrial park.

The specific size of the project to be invested can be discussed again.

"Fang Xing, have you ever thought about reducing the investment amount of the project, such as 10 billion." Liu Jian'an made a suggestion.

Although the 10 billion project is not small, it cannot reach the goal that Fang Xing really wants to achieve.

Fang Xing thought for a while, and replied: "Secretary Liu, otherwise, the project will be prepared according to 20 billion, and the industrial park office will monitor it at any time. If there are any problems with the project, you can stop it at any time.

"It's a three-year project, one step at a time, but the plans have to be laid out first.

"Otherwise, after the planning is completed, it will be more troublesome to increase the project land."

The land that can be approved for a 20 billion project is completely different from a 10 billion project.

Liu Jian'an smiled and said: "It's good for young people to be aggressive, but it's not good if they are too aggressive."

Fang Xing knew what he was worried about, and proposed a plan: "Secretary Liu, I have an idea. The industrial park will grant me two pieces of land. After I complete the first phase of the project, I will start the second phase of the project. If the first phase of the project does not After completion, the industrial park will take back the land for the second phase of the project at any time."

A smile appeared on Liu Jianan's face, but he didn't answer this sentence.

Such an important decision, as a leader, he can't agree on the spot, and he needs to go back and study it carefully.

However, Fang Xing could tell from the smile on his face that this matter was basically done.
