Big names rise

Once the number one animation studio in China, once proud of domestic animation, now even its own survival has become a problem. Over the years, it has received investment from outside many times, but in the end it failed to save itself. So they have become accustomed to dividing the money whenever someone comes to invest, "benefiting" the employees and leaders. As for restoring the glory of the past, they are too lazy to do things that are impossible even in their dreams.It is said that children's film studios have no production capacity at all, and domestic children's films are almost extinct. There are only a few janitors and a few leaders with salaries left in the whole factory. The current situation of art studios is very worrying. Following in the footsteps of children's film studios.

As soon as He Mu and Li Wenhua came in, he felt like a nouveau riche. The main reason was that He Mu's car was too luxurious. Director Chen also read the news. The car was at least tens of millions. When he came to take a look, his first feeling was that he was being taken advantage of again.

Factory Manager Chen thought that He Mu wanted to invest, but He Mu bluntly said that he had no such idea. Hearing He Mu's words, Factory Manager Chen's face immediately drooped, "I didn't come to invest, did you really come to visit Remembrance of Childhood? !"

"No, we're here to talk about the copyright cooperation of some old animations. I want to make some classic animations into three-dimensional animations..." He Mu explained his purpose with a few short words.

Factory Manager Chen immediately changed his smile after hearing this, and to do [-]D animation requires cg technology. I heard that this thing is very expensive. If they can afford cg, they must be very rich. That's right. He Mu Company last year The box office of the two movies exceeded [-] million, this kid must be very rich now.For his health, if I don't cut him a knife, I will be too sorry for myself.

"Then let's talk. What do you like?" Chen Guozhen raised his legs and looked at the two young people with a smile. Although he didn't understand He Mu's purpose and profit point of changing the classic animation into CG animation, but these are not important.

Considering the production capacity of the animation studio, He Mu chose short works, "Here, "Little Tadpole Finds His Mother". There are also "Crickets", "Zhu Bajie Eats Watermelon", "Kitten Fishing"..." He Mu Mu talked about ten parts in one breath, including both characters and animals. If you want to make all of these.With the current capabilities of Ye Xuan's team, it could be as fast as one year, or two or three years later. After all, the sum of these things should be as long as an animated movie.Even if it is rough, it is a big project.

He Mu admired Zheng Yuanjie's little stories very much.But he didn't choose any of them, firstly because his works such as "Shuck and Beta" and "Magic Cube Building" are full-length novels, which are not the type he wants, and because the copyright of these animations should be in the hands of Uncle Zheng In fact, after all, these animations have been around for more than [-] years. If necessary, he can directly contact the Fairy Tale King. Fatty Li and Zheng Yaqi are quite familiar.

After He Mu finished speaking, Factory Manager Chen nodded with a smile. "You two should be clear that the ten works you mentioned just now are classics among the classics. Some of them have even been selected into Chinese textbooks for primary schools. They are masterpieces of animation that have been tested for decades and still occupy an important position in the hearts of the audience. , Our factory has always cherished our copyright resources very much, so this price may be a bit expensive?"

He Mu and Li Wenhua looked at each other, with a bad feeling that this old boy would not kill the big family. He Mu didn't want to hear him going around in circles again, "How much? Factory Manager Chen said the number."

"Not expensive, 300 million." Director Chen said slowly.

"300 million, Mr. Factory Manager, are you robbing money!" Fatty Li couldn't help it at first, "Just these cartoons are rotten and almost rotten. If you give it to the TV station for free, the TV station won't show it. What we have to do now is to turn decay into magic, make these old animations look new, and even have to put money into them yourself, and you are so embarrassed to ask us for 300 million!"

"Hey, how do you talk? You are also a cultural person and a cultural worker. How can I become a money grabber? In a market economy, we are just doing business. You have needs, we can supply and demand, and we can negotiate well. Just talk, get out if you can't agree!" Chen Guozhen is used to being the second in command of a large state-owned factory, and he has a bit of a temper. Thinking back to when they were brilliant, how many TV stations begged them, obeyed them, and got used to them, and got used to something wrong. , I still have a bit of arrogance, if you have money, you are an uncle, I can listen to you, if you don’t want to spend money, why are you pretending to be too high, get out.

300 million, to be honest, this price is a bit beyond He Mu's budget. He originally expected to get it within 100 million, and if it was too much, it could not exceed 200 million. 300 million, this price is considered very high, and it is not so outrageously high. The bargaining price may be less, so He Mu was a little shaken at the beginning, but after Chen Guozhen swears at Li Fatty, He Mu slapped him. Slapping it on Director Chen's desk, "Crack!".

Chen Guozhen was shocked.

"Have you ever heard of a Chinese giant?" He Mu asked. At this moment, Chen Guozhen was a little frightened. The sound just now was a bit like a firecracker detonating in his ears, deafening and roaring.

"Listen... I've heard of it," he nodded, and asked tremblingly, "What do you want to do, you are considered a celebrity, you..."

"Stop it," He Mu interrupted Chen Guozhen, "I can be a Chinese giant wrist, or a Chinese giant fist, or a Chinese giant palm. If I'm not happy, I can also be a Chinese thick thigh, so be polite when you speak. I'm not used to people saying 'fuck off' to me and my friends, how to get off, why don't you show us?"

"I, I just said it casually, that's my colloquial language, don't mind, don't mind." Under He Mu's gaze, Chen Guozhen didn't dare to look at him. This young man's aura was so strong that he even forgot that it was him He can call the shots.

Seeing that Chen Guozhen had softened, He Mu no longer threatened him, "Okay, this is the end of today's chat, I suddenly have no interest in your factory's classic animation, I'm leaving, no need to give it away."

He Mu hooked his fingers at Fatty Li freely, and the two walked out of Chen Guozhen's office together, and Chen Guozhen really didn't see them off. It wasn't until the two of them walked away that Director Chen remembered: Damn, this is my place. What am I afraid of, I can call security!Shit, why didn't I call the security guards? Is there still time to call now? Can I still catch up with them?

Walking on the road inside the art studio, He Mu comforted Li Fatty, "You don't need to feel guilty, this old boy just has a lot of desires, even if you don't quarrel with him, I probably won't cooperate with them .”

Fatty Li curled his lips and looked at He Mu winkingly, "Do you think I look guilty?"

He Mu paused for a moment, carefully examining Li Wenhua's face, "You are so thick-skinned that you messed up my big business, and you don't feel ashamed at all. You can do it, you can do it!"

Li Wenhua said indifferently, "Anyway, I'm not optimistic about the refurbishment of this kind of old film. There is indeed a risk of thankless work. In fact, when you mentioned that you want to open an animation studio, I have already thought about it for you. What."

Seeing Li Wenhua's chubby face full of confidence, He Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then slapped him excitedly, "You boy, why didn't you tell me earlier, tell me quickly, what do you think I should shoot!"

Li Wenhua got up seriously, "You have said before that the purpose of your animation studio's business is not to make money,..."

"Of course you can make money, and of course do well."

"...It's to spread the company's reputation so that we can make feature-length animated films in the future, right?"

"Correct."

"Then, I suggest that you can make an animation series, each episode does not need to be very long, 10 minutes to 10 minutes, one episode at a fixed period, and use this method to accumulate a mass base and build the company's reputation, just like "Joyful" and " Like Qin Shimingyue, the movie version of "Joyful Yangyang" has been successful, and "Qin Shimingyue" seems to have plans to make a movie version." Li Pang said.

In fact, He Mu also had the idea of ​​an animation series. For example, South Korea's "Unlucky Bear" is a successful [-]D animation series, which has a great influence all over the world. "But what to shoot?" The key is the appropriate theme theme.

"Let me show you something," Li Wenhua took out his phone and opened a set of pictures inside, "Guess what these pictures are about?"

These pictures are all cartoon images, stick figures without coloring, and the paintings are a bit q. The first picture is a young man with an unremarkable appearance, looking cheap, the second and third pictures are of the same woman, one It's the graceful back of the girl, and the other one is about turning around to reveal her face. How should I put it, it's a bit ugly, but it's pretty ugly and cute, not annoying. The fourth one is an old man, wearing a It's tattered, and a bit wretched. It's not easy for someone so old to be so wretched and stylish.

Continue to look down, a tall and straight man with the mighty spirit of a general; a fat man, very happy, but also very majestic; a beautiful mm, fashionable clothes can't hide her classical beauty; A young man with squinting eyes all the time, with a dumbfounded look...

The more He Mu read it, the more excited he became, and the more he watched, the more delighted he was, "This, isn't this "The First Chaos in History"!" There have been physical versions and audiobook versions, all of which are quite popular. Xiaoqiang, Baozi, Ying Fatty, Jing Ersha, Bangzi, Big Man, and Liu Laoliu who can never be ignored, these characters are so fucking classic So much so that He Mu could quickly take a seat after seeing these vivid animation images. Here I have to say that the painters who made these characters have quite good skills, and must have a deep understanding of this novel, otherwise they would not Maybe the painting is so vivid.

After reading more than a dozen pictures of people in one breath, He Mu was reluctant to return the phone to Fatty Li, clutching the phone and asking, "Fatty, who is this?"
