China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 453 New label

Of course, not all animation film projects are as unlucky as the crew of "Big Fish and Begonia", which only produced a 8-minute sample after 6 years of preparation!
Some domestic animation filmmakers are still very strong in attracting investment.

For example, the "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" project in the No. 2 folder.

Because the director Tian Xiaopeng has cooperated more with major TV stations such as CCTV, and even served as the executive director of the 2011 Beijing TV Animation Spring Festival Gala.Therefore, his connections in the circle are much stronger than those of ordinary animation filmmakers.

Therefore, when he started preparing "The Return of the Great Sage" in 2007, the start was much smoother than that of "Big Fish and Begonia".

For example, among the investors of "The Return of the Great Sage", there are 12 companies including Hengdian Film and Television, Shanying Media, Weiying Times Optical Media, etc.

Although apart from Fiber Optic Media, other companies don’t invest much, and it’s even a bit of crowdfunding.

But director Tian Xiaopeng finally got the investment.

Therefore, compared with other colleagues, the experience of the crew of "The Return of the Great Sage" can be called happiness.

Although they often run out of money while doing it, director Tian Xiaopeng, who is a "little money-finding expert", can always continue to attract new investment.

It is precisely because of this kind of alms-style fundraising method that the project "The Return of the Great Sage" is about to be completed.

If Optical Fiber Media hadn't suddenly withdrawn its capital, director Tian Xiaopeng would not have needed to find Jiang Hong at all, because his project had already reached the post-production stage.

It's a pity... there is no if in this world.

Because Fiber Optic Media has suddenly changed a person in charge, and the newly appointed leader is very pessimistic about this project that has been tossing about for 7 years and has not yet seen results.

Therefore, according to the contract, Optical Fiber Media immediately withdrew its capital urgently.

As a result, the project of "The Return of the Great Sage" immediately fell into a crisis of premature death.

But when Gao Fei thought of this, he suddenly frowned and looked at Jiang Hong opposite him and asked:
"The projects are all good projects, but... how do you calculate the funds?"

Hearing this, Jiang Hong was not surprised.

Because she had already made preparations before coming here, she immediately explained in an orderly manner:
"I have already confirmed with the other party that there are no other investors in the "Big Fish and Begonia" project except for the initial few million venture capital."

"So we can account for 3000% of the investment share of the 60 million + publicity services provided by Zhouyi, and the rest will be shared by the production team and venture capital."

"As for "The Return of the Great Sage", there are too many investors, so if we take over, we will get 30% of the original optical fiber media."

Speaking of this, Jiang Hong paused slightly, then frowned slightly and said:
"However, if the company takes over the distribution business of "The Return of the Great Sage", then I can safely talk about 40%."

Seeing what she said, Gao Fei immediately nodded slightly.

This level is just right.

In Gao Fei's view, there was absolutely no need for Zhou Yi to do that kind of looting.

One reason is that it has a bad reputation and is easy to be criticized.

Secondly, if Zhouyi Film and Television really succeeds in opening up the new business field of animated films, then the appreciation of the stock price alone will be enough for Gao Fei to make ten films.

So why should he grab money from the bowl of those hard-working animation filmmakers!
So after the final question was determined, the two projects were quickly settled.

To be honest, Gao Fei spent money like water these two days.

Not counting the "Predecessor's Strategy" that he is preparing, Gao Fei has almost approved a budget of 1.6 million.

I have to say that the feeling of spending money like this is cool.

It's just that even Jiang Hong didn't stop Gao Fei from spending money this time.

Even at the beginning, she was worried that Gao Fei wouldn't spend the money, which would make it impossible to spend the huge amount of money the company raised in the stock market.

Fortunately, it turned out that this was purely her overthinking.

But Gao Fei's money was not in vain, because the 1.6 million budget was exchanged for the five projects of "three live-action movies and two animation movies".

So for a listed film and television company, it is not terrible to have no money, but what is terrible is that there are no projects to make it spend money.

And just after the two of them finished talking, Gao Fei thought that Jiang Hong would go down immediately to settle the funding issue.

But she didn't expect that she showed a rare look of hesitation.

This made Gao Fei curious.

However, Jiang Hong didn't struggle for long, and quickly explained the reason.

It turned out that this time she was looking for not two projects, but three.

It's just that the third-person project is too immature. Even except for the story script, most of the pictures and designs are in the director's mind.

If it weren't for the director's legendary experience, Jiang Hong might not have counted him in.

Just seeing what Jiang Hong said, Gao Fei became more and more curious.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Hong said the third item that was not written in the document.

……

It turned out that half of the reason why Jiang Hong said that the dumpling director's experience was legendary was because of his incredible self-learning ability.

how to say?

As the first batch of 90 and 211 college students in the 985s, I won't go into details about the IQ level of the director Jiaozi.

However, as an animation director, his parents both work in the hospital, and he himself also majored in pharmacy at West China Medical University.

But because of his love for animation, he finally chose to abandon medicine and pursue painting.

Of course, out of consideration of family history and employment, he didn't make this decision until his junior year.

But here comes the place where the scumbags are most desperate.

Although Jiaozi did not choose to change careers until his junior year, he still successfully entered the animation production industry through self-learning Maya and CG.

And after graduation, he successfully entered a [-]D animation advertising company to work.

To be honest, even Jiang Hong was envious of this kind of self-learning ability.

And the most frustrating thing is that even though he is a genius, he actually works harder than ordinary people.

Why do you say that?
Because after Jiaozi decided to make her own animated film, she relied on her savings from working for many years without leaving home, and spent 3 years and 8 months to produce a 16-minute short film by herself.

And this animated short film called "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" also won more than 2009 awards in 30, including the Special Jury Award of the Berlin International Short Film Festival.

It can be said that director Jiaozi's talent in the field of animation films is obvious.

It was also for this reason that after thinking about it, Jiang Hong told Gao Fei about his animation project that still exists in the text.

What surprised Jiang Hong was that although she struggled for a long time, Gao Fei agreed after thinking for less than 30 seconds after listening.

With that clean and neat posture, Jiang Hong couldn't help but say:

"Boss, do you... want to stop thinking about it for a while?"

"What is there to consider?"

He didn't want Gao Fei to hear the words but shook his head without hesitation and said:
"Since he has amazing talent in animation, that's enough."

"Besides, the money is not spent all at once. If during the production process it is found that he is a worthless bag, then we should stop the loss in time."

Having said that, Gao Fei tapped the table with his index finger seriously and said:
"For this type of talent, a certain trial and error cost is acceptable."

"So you can try boldly in the future, I can afford it, and now Zhou Yi can afford it even more!"

As soon as this remark came out, Jiang Hong's eyes lit up immediately.

No way, who wouldn't like a boss like Gao Fei who is courageous and willing to delegate power!

As a result, the animated film project that was originally set was suddenly added.

Therefore, in order to form a brand effect as soon as possible, Gao Fei thought about it and decided to separately register a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhouyi, "Dream Valley Films".

In the future, Zhou Yi's animation film projects will all be handled by this Dream Valley Film Industry.

Although the dream is still far away, Gao Fei sincerely hopes that the label "Dream Valley" will one day become like "Pixar" and become the white moonlight in the hearts of animation film lovers...
