After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 370
This work called "Bai Yueer" is good, not only Li Zhuo likes it, but Meng Yuanyuan also likes it. She thinks the story is sad, but the color scheme and painting style of the short film are very traditional and beautiful.

Therefore, Li Zhuo decided to go to the magic capital to have a look, and if he thought it was okay, he would support him. Anyway, a few million is not too much of a problem for him.

Knowing that Li Zhuo was going to Shanghai next, Lin Hun was very happy, and then called Wolf Smoke Studio.

After learning that Li Zhuo was coming for inspection, they welcomed him and asked when he could come, so they sent someone to pick him up.

Li Zhuo said:

"You're welcome. I'll drive there. I can't tell you the time. You don't need to send someone to receive you."

After confirming this, he bid farewell to Lin Hun and the others, and then drove the Bentley Mercedes to a local shopping mall to buy some local specialties, such as sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Tongluo cake, large glutinous rice enema, dried Shuangqiao powder, etc.

Meng Yuanyuan bought this for her mother.

After that, they went back to the hotel to pack their luggage, and after checking out, they returned to Hangzhou.

At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Zhuo drove the car to Huajia Yingyue Community, and then went upstairs with Meng Yuanyuan with souvenirs.

Mother Meng is watching at home, and several support staff are cleaning up the house.

She was also very happy when she found out that her daughter and her boyfriend had returned.

But they just sat in the living room for a while, and after giving the special products to Meng Ma, Meng Yuanyuan ate a piece of fruit, and Li Zhuo called the property management here to find a hardworking and down-to-earth live-in nanny. Implement it as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhuo said to Meng Yuanyuan:

"The property will help find a nanny. When the time comes, you and your aunt will see if it's okay. If it's okay, you can stay at home. I usually help with cooking and washing clothes, so that I can take care of you and your aunt."

Meng Yuanyuan was eating watermelon, at this time she gave a grace and said with a smile:

"Thank you. Actually, I also want to find one. It saves my mother from being tired, but she has been preventing me from looking for it. It would be great if you help find one now."

They sat for a while, rested, and left again.

"Mom, when I get to Shanghai, I'll buy you a bag. Let's go." Meng Yuanyuan said to her mother and ran away.

Mother Meng intends to send them off, but there are still workers at home, and it is not easy for her to leave.

The distance from Hangzhou to Shanghai is 170 kilometers, which is very short.

Li Zhuo arrived after driving for more than an hour.

It was already past 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Zhuo drove to the Sheshan World Trade Shenkeng Hotel in Songjiang.

This hotel is an online celebrity hotel, built in a pit with a depth of 88 meters. The entire hotel building has 2 floors above ground and 15 floors underground.

Of course, I came here because Wolf Smoke Studio is located in Jinshan, next to Songjiang, and because Jinshan is a suburb, there are almost no five-star hotels, so Li Zhuo simply came here.

Li Zhuo opened an intercontinental landscape duplex suite at the front desk, with an area of ​​130 square meters and a price of 1.9 yuan per night.

This suite is quite nice. It is located on the 15th floor of the basement. You can open the door and enter the living room. It has a good design. There is an underwater world separated by glass on the wall. You can see groups of big fish and fish in the blue water world. Small fish are swimming.

Meng Yuanyuan was very happy when she saw it:
"Happy, I finally saw the legendary underwater world, it turned out to be like this, so beautiful."

Li Zhuo took a look. There were desserts, fruits and a bottle of chilled champagne on the table. Li Zhuo smiled and said:
"Dessert feels good. I can smell the sweetness here. If you want to eat it, put some first, but don't eat too much. Let's go eat later."

The bedroom of this suite is on the second floor. After going up the stairs, Li Zhuo found that it has a relatively high floor and is very spacious. There is a master bedroom, a built-in bathroom, and a living room. It's useless to put a wooden veranda, it's just for good looks.

The overall space on the second floor is relatively large, and the floor is made of light-colored wooden boards, which is quite good overall.

Meng Yuanyuan happily ran around in the suite, saying that it was the love room of her dreams.

After her excitement subsided a little, Li Zhuo took her to the restaurant attached to the hotel for dinner.

The name of this restaurant is Caifeng Building. When you walk in the corridor, you can see a large underwater world separated by glass. There are groups of red snappers, dragon groupers, and nurse sharks.

After sitting down, Li Zhuo ordered crispy roasted duck with fruit wood, crispy pea and honey pepper snowflake beef cubes, jasmine-scented silver cod, stewed tofu with chicken bamboo shoots in thick soup, Wuliang Yuye tender bean sprouts, ginger, scallion and crab roe Face and so on.

The Chinese food in this restaurant is full of color, fragrance, and taste. No matter which dish tastes good, even the tender bean sprouts have a good taste, very tender, and the fragrance and wine aroma are mixed together, which is quite delicious.

After eating, Li Zhuo planned to visit Wolf Smoke Studio at night just like last time.

But because of the long distance, Li Zhuo drove Meng Yuanyuan with him this time.

In an office building on Tingwei Highway, Shanyang Town, Jinshan, Li Zhuo took Meng Yuanyuan's hand and knocked on the door of an office on the fifth floor.

"Come in!" A female voice called out.

Li Zhuo then pushed the door open and walked in.

This is an office with an area of ​​about eighty to ninety square meters. One side is partitioned to make a single office, and the other side is made into a tea room.

The remaining space was relatively small. Li Zhuo noticed that there were two people sitting in front of the computer at the workstation, and another woman in her 30s was painting on the erected canvas.

Li Zhuo glanced at the painter, and intuitively, he felt that this person might be speechless.

So he said:
"My name is Li Zhuo. I saw the work of your studio in Liudao Wuyu Studio this morning, so I came here specially to visit."

The woman stood up and said:

"Oh, I see. Hello Mr. Li. My name is Wu Yan. Director Lin Hun called me at noon today. I am very glad to see you so soon."

She was very polite and took the initiative to shake hands with Li Zhuo.

Consistent with Li Zhuo's imagination, Wu Yan is obviously from southern Jiangsu, with a soft accent, and has the quiet and gentle temperament of Jiangnan women.

It gives people a good feeling and has a literary style. This may have something to do with her painting the national style for a long time. This is the effect brought about by artistic immersion.

She asked Li Zhuo to sit down, and Li Zhuo began to ask about the situation of the studio, including the animation works produced.

Wu Yan gave him a detailed explanation.

It turns out that this studio was established quite early in 2006. She and an employee of Shangmei Film Studio founded this studio together.

But at that time, she could hardly get orders, so she couldn't make a living from it, so she was still working as an artist in a game company.

Her job actually made a lot of money, which is why they were able to stick to it later, taking money from their own wages to support the studio.

Later, I also made some works, among which the more famous ones are "White Bird Valley" and "White Moon", but these are all short films, because feature films are expensive and time-consuming.

She did some calculations. A 4D animation in China costs at least 70 yuan per minute. The quality of this kind of animation is relatively poor. A 300-minute feature film costs at least [-] million yuan. This kind of funding is unaffordable for a small studio like theirs.

Not only can't afford it in terms of funds, but the team is not enough, and it can't afford it in terms of time.

For example, "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" took three years and spent 6000 million yuan in production costs. During this process, 1600 people participated in the specific production, even if a studio took most of the work If they are all outsourced, at least a production team of 50 people is required, and the salary alone is not a small fee.

After hearing this, Li Zhuo said:
"Take your time, first make a breakthrough in short films, polish the picture and story, and then consider entering the field of feature films."
