Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

After arranging things related to Tianzhu Movie, Zhang and his party were ready to return to Luocheng.

As the company grows bigger, the top management becomes more and more idle. As long as the general direction is OK, the middle management can lead the lower-level employees to keep the company running normally.

Hu Weishi now occasionally complains to Zhang and his party that she now spends more time attending various meetings and activities outside than in the company.

Zhang Yixing had to listen patiently to her nagging every time. After all, he had to suffer on his behalf, right?
He didn't like messy meetings and occasions. With people like Hu Weishi and Zhou Xingguo helping him, he was happy to be free. What's more, he could also use the very legitimate excuse of "going to school".

When I walked out of the conference room, I saw Wang Yunfei and a few people coming in from the door of the courtyard. As they walked, they pointed at the courtyard. One of them, Zhang Yixing, seemed familiar.

As the leading animation production company in China, Dreamweaver Culture welcomes many people in the industry who come to visit and exchange and learn every year, but if Wang Yunfei can personally lead the tour, I think these people are really capable.

Seeing Zhang and his entourage approaching, Wang Yunfei quickly said hello and introduced the people behind him.

Zhang Yixing is now famous, and several people are naturally aware of it. However, as adults, even if they like it, they are more restrained and not as fanatical as Zhang Yixing's fans.

"To a group of people, let me introduce to you. This is Wang Jiang, this is Tian Xiaopeng, and this is Xu Mengran..."

Hearing the words Tian Xiaopeng, Zhang and his party were stunned for a moment. No wonder this person seemed vaguely familiar. It turned out to be the director of "The Return of the Great Sage" who later became famous.

At that time, "The Return of the Great Sage" became a phenomenon-level animation with its record-breaking box office. Various media, including self-media, reported on Tian Xiaopeng. It almost felt like the glory of Chinese animation.

It’s just that compared to the faces that appeared in news reports in later generations, today’s Tian Xiaopeng doesn’t have the greasiness of a middle-aged uncle. Besides, after so many years, if he hadn’t appeared in the Dream Weaver Courtyard but met on the street, Zhang A line would probably ignore even this sense of familiarity.

Compared with live-action film directors, animation directors still have relatively less exposure, but "The Return of the Great Sage" was so sensational that even outsiders Zhang Yi Xing remembered the name Tian Xiaopeng.

Apart from the name, what I remember more clearly is that Tian Xiaopeng was always mentioned in reports as participating in the production of the 99 version of the "Journey to the West" cartoon. "The Return of the Great Sage" seems to have become a continuation of his dream of traveling to the West.

Zhang Yixing shook hands with these people and exchanged a few words. When shaking hands with Tian Xiaopeng, he politely said: "I like the cartoon "Journey to the West" very much. I can sing both the theme songs and the theme songs!"

It has to be said that the 97 version of "Journey to the West" animation is indeed a rare domestic animation of the year, and the theme song is even more popular. Even more than ten years later, you can still hear children singing "White Dragon Horse Hoof Chao" from time to time. West~"

Tian Xiaopeng was immediately flattered, and the other people who came together also looked envious.

There is no way, even though Zhang and his party are young, they cannot stop their high influence in the industry. Dreamweaver Culture covers a series of industries such as comics and animation peripheral derivatives, and is top-notch in the industry, not to mention that there is still a movie that still makes people There are unbelievably high-grossing animated movies out there. If you can get in touch with him, you might get some unexpected benefits.

Moreover, Dreamweaver Civilization Culture never eats alone. Just like when it provided animation technical support for Xuanji Technology, many animation companies in the industry have benefited from Dreamweaver Culture, and they have an excellent reputation. This is why many animation producers like to visit here. One reason to study. Wang Yunfei did not expect that Zhang and his party would know Tian Xiaopeng. He laughed and continued to introduce Tian Xiaopeng to Zhang and his party: "Xiaopeng is very talented, especially likes the theme of "Journey to the West". He told me a few days ago that he plans to shoot a movie in the future. An animated film about Sun Wukong.”

Zhang Yixing said, I remember the report said that "The Return of the Great Sage" took seven or eight years from the birth of the story to its release due to lack of funds. Even if it was finally completed, it ended in a hurry because of lack of money. At the climax It came to an abrupt end, and the feeling of not being able to get up or down was really terrible.

This is really a pity for many fans of the Great Sage.

But even so, "The Return of the Great Sage", which had no money for promotion, ushered in a box office surge due to its good reputation and created a domestic animation miracle.

Its success, like a catalyst, led to the revitalization of China's animation industry, which led to the rise of a number of animation movies that followed like mushrooms after a rain.

It's just that because of Zhang Yixing's rebirth, "Kung Fu Panda" now plays the role of a catalyst for this industry, and has advanced this time by nearly ten years.

Hearing Wang Yunfei mention Sun Wukong, Zhang Yixing was roughly sure that what he was talking about was the story of the return of the Great Sage, so he deliberately showed an interested look and smiled at Tian Xiaopeng: "Really? I also like the Monkey King very much! Yes! Script? If the script is good, Dreamweaver Culture can film it!”

Now Tian Xiaopeng and others were not calm, and even Wang Yunfei was quite surprised. After all, this was the first time that Zhang and his party met Tian Xiaopeng, and they planned to sponsor him to make a movie after just a brief encounter.

Tian Xiaopeng's mind was already a little blank. Of course he wanted to make animated films, but making animated films was very expensive. Every frame cost money. This step made him hesitate. He could only shoot some short films first to build up reputation and plan. I will use this to find investors in the future.

Although the industry is doing much better than in previous years due to state support and capital influx, investors don't just throw money away at every opportunity!

But today I came to visit Dreamweaver Culture, and I didn’t expect that a pie would fall from the sky!
If we can get investment support from Dreamweaver Culture, the effect will definitely be different, because in addition to money, Dreamweaver Culture also has technology, channels, IP operation capabilities, and influence, which is much better than simply raising money. .

People around him gently touched Tian Xiaopeng's arm, and he finally came to his senses. He realized how rare this opportunity was and quickly said: "There is a script, there is a script, but it's still relatively rough!"

"Okay, you can send me a copy after you complete it!"

Without being too polite, Zhang and his party left the compound after briefly greeting a few people.

Tian Xiaopeng watched Zhang and his party go away, and was in a daze for a while. Suddenly he remembered something, patted his head and said to Wang Yunfei: "Look at my brain, I forgot to mention that the movie I planned is a 3D animation, and there are many fighting scenes. The estimated cost is to million!”

Wang Yunfei laughed, patted Tian Xiaopeng on the shoulder and said: "This is not a problem. If there is a problem, it must be a problem with the script. Yi Xing is a writer and attaches great importance to the quality of the script. As long as the script and story are good enough, he will never I won’t be stingy with a penny, so seize this opportunity!” (End of Chapter)
