Reborn Cultural Empire

"I hope that next time you visit France, there will be no more accidents like this." Roger Vaillant said this to Yang Yi when he saw him off at the airport.

"The same goes for me. Putting aside the boring factors of politics, France is still a very beautiful country. It's a pity that some politicians are too tolerant of the small group of splitters, or they have bad intentions themselves, or why Will those people be taken in? Well, I don’t think this is an issue that a writer should talk about, so I hope that when I come to this beautiful country next time, it will really be like you said, without those disappointing residues. Make trouble with money." The young man spread his hands helplessly, even if he is a reborn, he has no ability to change the views and policies of a country's high-level officials towards China, but because of this, he is more eager to hope that he can use the means of cultural export , come and do something for your own nation.

"Then, have a good trip, my friend. I am waiting for your next excellent work in France." Roger Vaillant waved at the young man who entered the boarding gate.

Yang Yi smiled happily this time: "I won't keep you waiting for too long."

……

"Very good, I have made an appointment with Mr. Takeda Yasumoto from Gainax? Not bad, not bad, worthy of praise!" In Jinmao Building, the office floor rented by Dingchen Cartoon, Qin Pi was listening to his subordinates with satisfaction. According to the report, after learning that the animation production company in the island country had agreed to meet, the boss, who had hardly been happy in the past two years, unexpectedly praised his subordinates uncharacteristically: "Okay, You go down. Remember, you must arrange this meeting well. You can't let the other party pick out the slightest fault!"

"Yes, President Qin."

……

When Yang Yi returned to Yang Yi Culture.After four or five days of absence, green trees have been erected around the dilapidated and dilapidated headquarters. Although they are not tall, it will become a beautiful park full of greenery in a year or two.

And coming with the green trees, there is another self-recommended person, Li Wei, look at the name.In addition to his tall stature, it is easy for people to have further guesses and associations about his hometown, and in the subsequent interview, Yang Yi also affirmed this guess, and it turned out that he was a big man from Kansai on the shore of the Weishui River.

According to him, the reason why he chose Yangyi Culture was because he was attracted by the "Yunhuang" which caused a huge ratings in China, so he came here to try his luck and see if he could join the current It seems.It is indeed a new company leading the direction of domestic animation.Then in the following interview process, this big man showed his great wisdom very well. In the short film samples he took out, Yang Yi saw the shadow of an independent animation man in his previous life.There is no doubt that these guys have great talents, but either because they didn't meet the opportunity, or because they met the opportunity.But because he insisted on his own animation concept, he fell out with investors so that he could not realize his ideal.But as far as this guy is concerned.He is clearly not one of the former two.Because finding Yangyi Culture is his chance to shine.In his works, it is obvious to see the compromise of ideals for reality, and has commercial potential worth exploring.

But the young man thought hard and searched every corner of his mind, and he never thought that there was such a person in his previous life, at least in several well-known domestic independent animations, such as "Meiba" or some other animations. Li Wei Indeed, it was not involved.However, after forgetting the idea of ​​pursuing this big man's past life, Yang Yi was relieved. After all, after the Olympic Games, a large number of extremely talented individuals or teams have emerged in domestic independent animation, and he is not I pay close attention to this aspect, so it's not surprising that I haven't heard of it.

"Very good, your animated short film is very good, add some popular commercial elements, and then expand the script, it can be launched as an experimental work of our Yangyi animation." The young man is so sure,

However, this guy was still a little dissatisfied with the young man's affirmation. After a long while of frowning, the big man hesitated and said tentatively: "Mr. Yang, look, can you stop changing it? This book of mine has already been repeated with the team. After testing the pressure, they added a lot of commercial elements to it, and if they changed it, it would not be the work we had in mind! And some people on the team would definitely be dissatisfied."

Regarding Li Wei's frowning face, Yang Yiyi said to him: "Are you seeking ideals, or are you seeking survival? The problem before you is so realistic. If you cling to your ideals, it is a pity that you will die." Die in despair! Don't think I'm exaggerating, so that, next, we will start work on "The Legend of the Gods". You can visit the whole process and listen to the guidance of Kodansha on the production requirements Let’s see if commercialization kills ideals, or is it a breeding ground for ideals.”

After Yang Yi said so, Li Wei naturally couldn't insist on it, but brought his own team to join Yangyi Culture.

For people like them who are passionately pursuing the combination of technology and ideals in their hearts, Yangyi culture, to be precise, Yangyi animation, is almost the best destination for these people at present, and don’t look at the teenagers and don’t listen to it. Li Wei's name has been mentioned, but in the current circle of independent animation producers, this big guy seems to have extraordinary popularity and influence. People, began to retreat from the rivers and lakes to join the tide of Yangyi animation.

Ever since I joined Yangyi Animation, I have always felt a little powerless. The main reason is that a group of old artists such as Liao Xiangzhai, who are lack of energy, unexpectedly attracted a group of young people to join. It is different from the temporary workers who have been selected from the dwarfs among the big students. Although their comprehensive ability is slightly inferior, in terms of professional level in some aspects, they are far behind those fresh graduates. The only two models, in Yang Yi's opinion, are almost simple animation software to make character models and lens processing.A girl with glasses and a fat brother in Li Wei's team played superbly.Even after looking at the original manuscript, I can add my own play with a photographic memory.Let the sub-camera images become extremely agile.

And the old people of Shanghai Meiying who have been fighting alone for a long time, with the joining of this group of young people, have also begun to be freed from some tedious but indispensable work, and began to focus more on the overall situation.Thinking about the fatigue before, looking at the animation team that has grown suddenly, and thinking about more technical difficulties that he is overcoming and will encounter in the future, Liao Xiangzhai and his colleagues also rekindled their long-lost entrepreneurial enthusiasm.

When Yang Yi was checking the production progress of "The Desolation of the Clouds: The Legend of the Gods", the two newly joined newcomers were not yet familiar with the company's internal project production process.So I can only study from the side. After seeing Yang Yi, who was accompanied by Liao Xiangzhai and Li Wei, his eyes inevitably shone with a certain light, and he started to discuss with his companions in a low voice: "Look at this project now. Looking back at those "Saint Seiya" and "Dragon Ball" that I used to think were extremely awesome, I actually think that those animations are nothing more than that. As long as we are willing to invest in ourselves, and then find the right direction. Who said that Huaxia's animation is better than that? Those works that can’t be found in the island country? Think about the 3-minute sample we saw yesterday. To be honest, I can’t wait for this animation to be released. It is said that it is still in the early stage of production. There are already nearly [-] places. The TV station came to our company to discuss the issue of purchasing and screening. And the most important thing is that Yang Shao single-handedly completed these cartoons from creation to screen production. Do you think there is any reason..."

He is a new friend who has worked in the Beijing children's film and animation base for several years.He quickly winked at him, and said in a low voice: "Is it okay to keep your voice down! Manager Li and the others can call that. But we little soldiers can't call Yang Shao Yang Shao carelessly, we have to call Mr. Yang, oh No, it's Director Yang!"

As people who can participate in the production team of the new "Yun Huang", there are many things that excite them in this period of time. It is the first time that they have seen traditional animation production techniques, and it is the first time that they have been personally interviewed by the older artists of Shanghai Meiying. Directing, for the first time, you don’t care about the production budget, just for the perfection of a detail...and today, for the first time, I saw the appearance of the big boss who was rumored to be inside Yangyi Culture. Once those colleagues said it, it was enough to make them jealous.

After the inspection in the animation production workshop, Yang Yi brought Liao Xiangzhai and Li Wei out. After more than ten days of getting along, Li Wei and the other new members have roughly figured out Yang Yi's character, that is, work He is extremely meticulous and serious in work, but after work, he doesn't even have such a heavy workload. Just like now, after a few people discuss Shunyi casually together, this young boss still prefers a relaxed atmosphere rather than He wants others to treat him respectfully.

"Boss, today's production is very successful, but I think the number of frames can be higher? Although the cost will follow, after all, the quality of animation has improved..." So I have my own ideas Afterwards, Li Wei raised it without hesitation.

But he is a newcomer after all. After entering the company, he followed Liao Xiangzhai and other old people at first, and was very busy. Now that he has finally gotten familiar with the environment, he has to join in the animation production intensively, so there has been nothing superfluous. Time to understand the current overall situation of Yangyi Culture.

After listening to Li Wei's suggestion, Yang Yi shook his head and pointed out the window, not far away from the headquarters office building, which is about 200 meters away from the building that has already broken ground: "I'm sorry, the company's next construction focus must be Put it over there, so in the previous "Yun Huang" animations, you can only skimp a little bit. But you don't have to worry, the domestic screening rights of the first "Yun Huang" animation can support the production costs of subsequent works , and at most three years, our Yangyi Network will be on the right track. At that time, I will give you as much as you want, so that you can produce a "Cloud Desolation" that even the island country is surprised by. The theatrical version is coming."

Theatrical version of "Cloud Desolation"?What is this?

Although he is the first batch of independent animation producers in China, he has never heard of this new term, and the Kansai big man immediately aroused endless interest.Even Liao Xiangzhai, who was at the side, had brilliant eyes. (To be continued..)
