China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 330 Completely Popular
The main reason why the investment cost of Kung Fu Panda in the previous life reached 1.3 million yuan was due to labor costs.

In animated movies, one second of animation consists of 24 frames, and one frame usually takes a team of rendering engineers a week to complete. A 100-minute animated film requires 144000 frames.

This kind of workload is very huge and requires animators a lot of time and energy to complete.

The production of Kung Fu Panda took up to two years, and nearly $8000 million was spent on salary alone.

In fact, there are a lot of domestic animation talents. Many animation rendering, 3D modeling and other technologies are difficult to a certain extent, but they are not particularly difficult.

As long as there is good technical guidance, domestic animators can slowly grow.

The key is to have a market and investment to cultivate it, otherwise animators will not have enough to eat, and naturally no one will be willing to devote energy and time to delving into this technology.

Zhang Nanyi's investment in a Kung Fu Panda movie is worth more than 4 million in Chinese national currency. If half of the production is produced domestically, this will be enough to train and support many animators, and related industries and talents will benefit.

Why do Hollywood now have top special effects companies and animation production companies? They are all funded by money.

Hollywood faces the global market, and ultra-high box office can support ultra-high investment, thereby cultivating talents and industrial chains.

When China's movie box office explodes in the future, many excellent animation companies and special effects companies will naturally appear.

If Zhang Nanyi wants to cultivate relevant industries and talents under the current situation that the domestic film market is not good enough, the best way is to invest in blockbusters and then make money in the global market.

Animated movies are also a very important part of Zhang Nanyi's monster movie project.

Because animated characters, similar to gods and monsters, are more likely to break through racial boundaries and achieve global success.

Moreover, animation special effects, including 3D modeling and character rendering, have some similarities with movie special effects. There are more talents in this area, which is also good for the cultivation of movie special effects talents.

Of course, Zhang Nanyi would not tell him his real plan. He was not sure of Xu Chengyi's attitude for the time being.

So Zhang Nanyi only analyzed it from the perspective of profit: "As far as I know, the annual salary of an animator at DreamWorks is generally 6 to 10 yuan.

In our country, you can hire a good animator with an annual salary of 1 yuan.

Our country's universities began to expand enrollment in 1999, and more and more college students are trained every year.

These are extremely excellent human resources, and can even be said to be the best human resources in the world.

As long as they are given a monthly salary of 6000 yuan, they can work for more than 12 hours a day, endure hardships, and work hard without complaint.

The key is to have a strong sense of teamwork and the ability to learn quickly. Do you know what this means for animated films? "

Xu Chengyi understood immediately, and he said excitedly: "It means that an investment of 1 million yuan can only produce one animated film in Hollywood, but in China, it can produce two to three animated films."

Zhang Nanyi said: "Yes, the reason why I am looking for you is because you are from Hong Kong and China, and you can better coordinate and manage the situation between China and the United States.

I will set up an animation company in China. You have two choices. One is to work for me, and I will give you relevant assessments and incentives for cultivating talents. Once you do a good job, it is not impossible to earn a salary of tens of millions of dollars.

Or the salary may be lower, but I will directly give you stock incentives. "

Xu Chengyi immediately said: "I did this. I have always had a dream to make an animated film that truly belongs to the Chinese people.

It's a pity that Hong Kong Island has no soil for animated films, so I had no choice but to come to Hollywood.

As for the cooperation model, I choose the second one, with lower wages and equity incentives. "

Later, Xu Chengyi said: "When I resign this time, there will be 37 people with me, most of whom are Chinese. I hope Mr. Zhang can make arrangements for them."

Zhang Nanyi said: "This is a good thing. If you want to recruit a team of as many people as you want, tell Annie directly and she will agree."

Next, Zhang Nanyi told Xu Chengyi the general plot of Kung Fu Panda. The plots of this kind of animated movies are relatively simple.

Zhang Nanyi simply asked the boss for paper and pen, and drew several images of Kung Fu Panda.

When it came to animation, Xu Chengyi was very serious. He took Zhang Nanyi to discuss and chat, and the communication ended only when the boss said it was time to close the door for a break.

After securing Xu Chengyi from DreamWorks, Zhang Nanyi then devoted himself to promoting the album.

Originally, Steve from Warner Music was still worried about the effect of this wave of publicity. However, on the evening of October 10, the Ellen Show was broadcast, which immediately triggered a frenzy of discussion in the United States.

Zhang Nanyi's kung fu performance at the beginning made many Americans exclaimed that it was magical, and once again set off a kung fu craze in the United States.

Under Annie's arrangement, someone on YouTube began to challenge him to learn Zhang Nanyi's two kung fu moves.

One of them flicked his arm and accurately pushed the person to the sofa three meters away.

The other is three consecutive volley kicks to see who can kick it standard and cool.

In order to increase the popularity of the challenge, YouTube has set up awards, which are chosen by netizens' votes. Among all the broadcasters who participate in the challenge, a champion will be selected for each action and will be awarded [-] yuan.

Zhang Nanyi's Ellen show was already very popular, and everyone was imitating and discussing it. Now there are bonuses to be won.

Therefore, this YouTube challenge immediately triggered the participation of the entire network. In just two days, more than 3 challenge videos were uploaded on YouTube, and the number is still increasing.This challenge not only made Zhang Nanyi's image of Kung Fu deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but also after many people took the challenge, they realized that Zhang Nanyi's two moves may seem simple, but are actually very difficult, and most people can't do it at all.

Most of the challenge videos uploaded are funny.

Only a handful of people succeed in the challenge.

On the other hand, it has brought a lot of traffic and popularity to YouTube, and the number of registrations and viewers have ushered in a new round of explosive growth.

Many people who logged into YouTube for the first time because of the kung fu challenge gradually fell in love with this video website after browsing other interesting videos and gradually became loyal users of YouTube.

In addition to the fact that kung fu performances have attracted attention in the United States, Zhang Nanyi's remarks about love, especially his admission that he has multiple partners, on the Ellen DeGeneres Show also caused huge controversy and discussion.

Although the wealthy Americans have a lot of fun, there are not many people like Zhang Nanyi who dare to directly admit that they have multiple partners.

Moreover, Zhang Nanyi is still a star singer and needs to maintain his image. For telling the truth so bravely, everyone admired Zhang Nanyi's courage, but also gossiped about Zhang Nanyi's previous romantic behavior.

The scandal between Zhang Nanyi and Lidya was first exposed by the American media. The video of Zhang Nanyi singing to Lidya last year was naturally replayed.

Warner Music also secretly contributed a lot here. The main reason is that there are songs in this video to promote Zhang Nanyi's new album.

Later, Zhang Nanyi's scandal in China was also reported and summarized by many American media, and the video of Zhang Nanyi hugging Ishihara Satomi and Ayase Haruka on a Japanese program was also posted online.

For a time, Zhang Nanyi's sexy news became a hot topic among Americans after dinner.

However, because of his deviant nature, not many people criticize Zhang Nanyi. People are more gossiping, and some people are discussing the concept of love and the institution of marriage.

In particular, many Mormon believers in Utah publicly supported Zhang Nanyi's remarks online.

One of the Utah congressmen said:
“Mainstream society has always rejected our polygamy system, but in fact Utah has the lowest divorce rate and the lowest crime rate in the United States, and the residents’ happiness index is very high.

Finally, a brave public figure like Zhang stood up and told the truth.

Monogamy is a concept of love and marriage, so why are we polygamists being discriminated against?We didn't force anyone, it was all voluntary.

Zhang is truly a sincere man, and we in the Mormon Church welcome him to join if he is willing. "

Originally, this interview on the Ellen Show made Zhang Nanyi the most popular figure in the United States these two days. He was involved in kung fu and scandals. It was very lively.

As a result, on the night of May 5, Zhang Nanyi had dinner with two sisters, Amanda and Lydia, and then walked into a luxury hotel together.

The scenes of the three of them eating and entering and exiting the hotel were captured by the paparazzi.

This topic has exploded!
Zhang Nanyi not only admitted in words that he had multiple partners, but also in actions, he directly told the American people that this is the case for me.

Compared to her sister Lydia, her sister Amanda is much more well-known in the United States.

She is the top socialite in the United States and often attends various occasions as a representative of the Hearst family.

The Hearst sisters are the dream of many American men. Spending one night with one of them is worth bragging about, but Zhang Nanyi won them all at once.

So much so that Brokaw, the famous host of NBC Nightly News, couldn’t help but complain after broadcasting this news: “Are all men in the United States dead?

Our country’s beauties were slept with by Chinese people like this, Fake! "

When he said this, his expressions and movements were very exaggerated, so this news broadcast instantly became popular on the Internet.

"Are all men in the United States dead?" This topic has become the hottest topic on the English Internet.

Many netizens left messages under the topic.

"American men, don't be sad, it's not that you can't do it, it's just that Zhang Nanyi is too awesome - a Japanese netizen left."

"Haha, guys from Japan, I watched the video of Zhang Nanyi recording a show in Japan, and I can only say that his style is very cool, and I like it very much! Although he is not from the United States, he represents the spirit of free love in the United States!"

"Lydia has shown her love to Zhang in public many times since they started dating last year, but Zhang did not respond. She may have watched the Ellen Show and learned about Zhang's needs, so she called her sister."

"She was really in love with her. I burst into tears and even pulled Amanda into her. That's my favorite Amanda!"

"Milican men, stand up and charge me!"

"Yes, I charged you and was knocked down by Zhang Nanyi using Chinese Kung Fu. Brother, you'd better watch the video of Zhang Nanyi performing Kung Fu before considering whether you want to charge."

"Fathers from the United States, don't worry. Zhang is from Korea, and those from Korea are from the U.S., so Zhang Nanyi is also from the U.S...."

"To be comforted by the Koreans, what a shame. American soldiers, increase your output!"

……

Although the topic in the end became more and more crooked, Zhang Nanyi really became popular in the English circle this time.
