Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 714 "Peppa Pig" is despised!

Li Zhifan stayed at home for a whole week and produced 15 episodes of "Peppa Pig", almost two episodes a day. This speed is shocking in the entire animation industry. Even a large animation team, a It is also impossible to make 15 episodes a week, because it takes a long time to produce one episode, from content selection to various meetings and discussions.

Only Li Zhifan, who has opened a cheat, can have this kind of efficiency.

Another reason was that someone was urging her behind, and that was Little Cherry.

She watched the first episode for three full days, but after watching too much, she was eager for new stories, and asked Li Zhifan every hour if there was a second season!

It's a pity that although Li Zhifan has already made a few episodes, there is no dubbing or soundtrack. In a hurry, Li Zhifan did all the dubbing by himself, and then used the software to change the voice, so he barely fooled Little Cherry.

new week.

Li Zhifan reappeared in DreamWorks.

In the past few days when he was not here, "Coco" has been in stable production. Now two-thirds of the pre-production has been completed, and most of the difficult problems have been homeworked. The production team even went to Mexico several times. , I made several documentaries and extracted material from them.

After the meeting in "Coco", Li Zhifan immediately approached Silver and asked him to contact several professional voice actors, who needed their voices for a job.

Silver stared at Li Zhifan in a daze: "Dubbing? With what?"

"A little video I made myself, for my daughter to watch!"

Li Zhifan smiled and did not explain, "Anyway, you can help me find someone, two women and two men!"

"All right!"

Silvo called immediately, and it happened that DreamWorks had an animation film in the post-production stage, and the voice actors had already settled in, so just let them come after they are busy.

But when they came, it was already afternoon.

"Is this... a cartoon?"

Several voice actors were very surprised and felt incredible in their hearts.

It's not that they haven't seen this type of cartoons before, but they were all made by TV stations in ancient times, especially the British BBC, which often made this type of cartoons. Later, with the rise of technology, the quality of cartoons also improved. The higher and higher, this type of animation will disappear from the market, and no one will do it anymore.

"This is for my daughter!"

Li Zhifan explained to several voice actors, "I also hope that everyone will do me a favor. I will double the salary for everyone."

"Double?"

The expressions of the four voice actors changed immediately, and all doubts and doubts disappeared, only surprises and snickers were returned.

Although they are all behind the scenes, voice actors get less money than sound engineers, so they can't wait to have a chance to earn double their salary.

So he immediately and happily agreed to Li Zhifan.

And these fifteen episodes of animation are even easier for them. There is no need to figure out the minds of the characters like those big movies, just read it out with normal dialogue.

An hour and a half later, the four of them finished recording the [-] episodes, and Li Zhifan paid them the wages on the spot, and paid them twice as agreed.

"Thank you so much, my friend! If you have such a job in the future, you can come to us again!"

One of the voice actors received money and gave Li Zhifan a hug. In his eyes, Li Zhifan had already been equated with a local tyrant and had the title of "rich Chinese".

"Of course!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "How about this, leave me the phone numbers of the four of you, and if I have other dubbing needs in the future, I will still call you!"

"Oh my god, that's great!"

"I'll copy a number for you, my name is Martha!"

"My name is Jerry! Dude, today's cooperation is so pleasant!"

All four of them left their phone numbers, hoping that Li Zhifan could contact them again.

Although these four people were found temporarily, they are likely to become regular partners in the future. After all, "Peppa Pig" has several seasons.

After dubbing these, Li Zhifan took the film and went back to the production room of "Coco", plugged in a USB flash drive in front of his computer, and took out the [-] episodes of "Peppa Pig" that had been dubbed. to find out if there are any other loopholes.

At this time, a staff member passed by and took a look, and happened to see "Peppa Pig" playing on Li Zhifan's computer screen. He walked over in surprise and asked, "Oh! Li, do you still watch this kind of cartoon?"

"Ang!" Li Zhifan smiled, but did not respond positively, "How about this animation?"

"Uh...haha!" The staff smiled awkwardly. He thought Li Zhifan liked to watch it, so he said, "Well, it's very basic animation production, but children will definitely like it. Li, are you going to show it to your daughter?"

"Yes!" Li Zhifan said, "She really likes this kind of cartoon."

"Children! It's normal!"

The staff said, "This kind of stick figure cartoon is the simplest. Our professional painters can draw it with their feet."

After saying this, Li Zhifan was embarrassed, looked back at him, and said meaningfully: "I drew this!"

"Oh ah!?"

The staff was stunned for a moment, tongue tied, and faltered: "No, no, no! I didn't mean that, the drawing of this animation is really good, what I mean is, stick figures don't look simple, but if you want to draw well difficult."

"I'm a beginner. I've been working with you for the past few days, so I just learned how to draw such an animation!"

Li Zhifan said lightly, "I know my own level!"

"No, no! Li, I didn't mean that!"

The more the staff explained, the more flustered they became. He said what was in his heart, but what he said was too inappropriate. Even if he didn't say that Li Zhifan was their boss, but just said that Li Zhifan, a beginner, could draw like this, he should be encouraged, even performed of.

What's more, everyone here knows Li Zhifan's ability in animation, which was zero before he came here, and the sketches he showed to everyone in the actual operation are also horrible. Now that he can achieve this result, they are even more admirable in their hearts. rather than contempt.

"Okay, don't be nervous!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand, "Go! I'll watch it alone!"

"Mmm Good!"

The staff quickly nodded and left.

As a result, this afternoon, this hour spread throughout the entire production team, and the production staff lined up to flatter Li Zhifan and compliment his paintings.

It even alarmed Silwo, who came down to watch Li Zhifan's masterpiece in person and gave him a thumbs up.

Now that Silvo is here, Li Zhifan wants to chat with him about something, so he asked, "Can you help me find a TV station to broadcast these cartoons?"

"Huh? TV station?"

Silvo has been the president of DreamWorks for so many years, and he has various relationships. All TV stations in the United States are their partners. He asked to cooperate with them on cartoons, or hoped that they would make a series of cartoons. , and then buy.

But for Li Zhifan's cartoon, Silver found it difficult to sell.

In a capitalist society like the United States, no one would buy this kind of cartoon that is known to be unprofitable even if it is produced by the famous DreamWorks, right?

But Silver still agreed: "Okay, let me ask for you, but the price may not be too high."

"It doesn't matter!" Li Zhifan said, "I don't care about money, as long as there is a place to broadcast it, that's fine!"

As soon as Silver heard it, it was easy to say, so he said: "Well, let me introduce you to a few publishers. They have high influence and strong channels around the world, and they will also provide you with What do you think of more good suggestions?"

"Oh?"

Li Zhifan thought for a while, "They won't let me go back to China to play it after watching it?"

"I don't know, maybe there is such a possibility!"

Silver said, "However, based on your influence and connections in China, I am afraid that many manufacturers are rushing to buy such cartoons, right?"

"No! I want to broadcast it directly on foreign TV stations!"

Li Zhifan shook his head, "As for the Chinese market, we'll talk about it later."

When Silver heard this, he thought to himself: You really have an idea, you are clearly trying to scam foreign TV stations for money!
Now that Silver has agreed to introduce publishers for Li Zhifan, he will stop worrying about this matter, and hurry up to go back and continue to produce the following content. There are 52 episodes in the first season. sold together.

But for the production of this part, the family does not need Li Zhifan to do it himself. There are many production teams in DreamWorks, and there are even more idle talents and novices who have just entered the industry. Just recruit a few teams to form a team, and the painting can be done with very little money. Ok this thing.

At the same time, Li Zhifan also intends to set up a studio in the United States, specializing in all things related to "Peppa Pig", in preparation for future promotion and publicity.

……

Three days later, Li Zhifan met with the publisher introduced by Silver.

Distributors are not artists, they will not comment on the content of the work, they will only comment on the value of the work, and they have various methods to sell a film.

So even if it's a bad movie, it can be realized in the hands of the distributor, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less.

Those who are destined to earn less, they have different strategies, and those who are destined to make a lot of money, they may even participate in the shares.

The representative of the publisher was named Simon, a Jewish publisher who owned four distribution companies, two advertising companies, and an investment company.

He will use investment companies to invest in the films he is optimistic about, and will also buy the advertising space of the films, and use advertising companies to promote advertisements to make money. In terms of distribution, four distribution companies can also distribute them in different regions of the world.

After watching "Peppa Pig", Simon didn't have any desire to invest. In his opinion, this was a very rough and perfunctory work. Compared with many bad movies he had seen, this " Peppa Pig is not as good.

However, due to his professionalism and the attractive price offered by Li Zhifan, he still accepted the distribution job of this animation series.

"Li, I suggest that you put ten episodes on the Internet first. You know Youguan Internet Café! It is the largest video website in the world. After it is released, I can help you operate it to increase your popularity, and even contact the official to buy a recommendation for you. As for In terms of TV stations, I will contact CBC in Canada, BBC in Britain, ABC and CW in the United States. These TV stations are all federally operated TV stations. They may be interested in your animation. It can increase our bargaining chip."

Simon said a lot in one breath, he is a person with a quick brain, and immediately worked out this set of plans for Li Zhifan.

The CBC, BBC, ABC, and CW he mentioned are all his long-term partners, and they are all English-language TV stations. They also have contacts in the internal purchase of films. As long as the price is reasonable, they can be sold.

As for other commercial TV stations, although Simon can also do it, he is worried that he will be rejected by the other party, so he didn't mention it here. Translation and production in different languages ​​​​in other countries is a long-term thing. Simon doesn't think that "Peppa Pig" » can be widely followed and thus attracted to non-English-speaking countries.

Li Zhifan is not in a hurry, he takes his time step by step, as long as the popularity accumulates, isn't this movie a rush?
"Okay!" Li Zhifan got up and shook hands with Simon, "Just follow this plan, and I'll go back to publish online."

"OK!" Simon asked again, "Lee, how many episodes are you going to do?"

"52 episodes!"

Li Zhifan said, "Each episode is 5 minutes, not too long!"

"52 episodes?"

Simon frowned, and there are only 5 minutes in each episode?A total of 260 minutes?Isn't it a waste to divide it into 52 episodes?

However, he didn't say much. He never talks too much about production and content, so his expression changed, and he smiled and said, "Okay, then hurry up here, in case it's sold out tomorrow." ?”

"That couldn't be better!"

Li Zhifan also smiled back.

The newly established studio, called "Peppa Culture Studio", currently only recruits four people, all of whom are assistants and linemen. In addition, the team recruited from inside DreamWorks has also been assembled, and Involved in the production of the remaining 40 episodes of "Peppa Pig".

Li Zhifan is a person who thinks about it and does it very quickly. In just three days, he has done so many things, and the people around him feel very scary.

Especially Silvo, Li Zhifan's work efficiency looks like a robot to him, if DreamWorks is full of people like Li Zhifan working, it may be ten times better than the current DreamWorks.

After leaving DreamWorks, Li Zhifan immediately called the studio to arrange a new job.

These four assistants just came to work on the second day, facing this newly established studio, they didn't know what to do, they only knew that they were paid a lot of money.

Li Zhifan proposed several works:

The first one is to register the copyright of "Peppa Pig" immediately, and he will send the materials to the studio mailbox.

The second is to start posting the animation videos of the first ten episodes on Youguan.com, and then communicate with Simon.

As for the third, it is to find a big-name law firm to cooperate in matters, because in the future, there will be many contracts to be signed, that is, Youguan.com will also sign a copyright ownership contract, and you must read it carefully. OK.
