I Have Achieved A Lot

After the Shanhai Animation Festival is over, Penguin Animation, 8 Station and Chief-In-Charge of Shanhai Animation Studio met together. Strictly speaking, this is a film jointly established by the three. The company “Xizi Pictures”-the name is simply the place name-the first formal meeting.

Xizi Pictures, the three companies each hold 30% of the shares, and the remaining 10% are individual shareholders. They are looking for big guys with issuing resources. The voting rights of these big guys are compulsory in accordance with the agreement. The sex belongs to Shanhai Animation Studio. In other words, Shanhai Animation Studio still has the most voting rights in Xizi Pictures, but it does not absolutely control votes.

After going through some unfinished procedures in this meeting, the real topic began, which is the next project that Xizi Pictures will do. The three works signed with Pixar for five years are true, but the purpose of establishing Xizi Pictures is not only to cooperate with foreign film companies, but to develop China Animation by itself.

China’s animation film companies have gradually increased, but compared to the entire China’s growing movie market, the magnitude of the movie market is really better than nothing. There are many reasons. There are too many strictly speaking. In the final analysis, the money is too slow. After all, an animated film that makes money on the film market takes too long to invest, so long that many investors don’t want to touch it. Without capital investment, it is even slower to make an animated film that requires a lot of investment in every frame, and it is completely caught in a vicious cycle.

That is, in recent years, with the rise of domestic animation, especially the rise of children’s animation, with a relatively high national IP, can we quickly get funds or own funds and quickly make movies, even if the quality is average But IP influence can still make money.

Apart from this, the movies that have emerged in recent years that can make money or have a good reputation, all have been polished for a long time and in the polishing process several times due to lack of funds, they have repeatedly pigeons and even almost gave up Dropped.

With the rapid growth of the two markets of China Animation and Film, animation film practitioners do have a better creative environment than before, but they also have limited sincerity. Investment is still difficult to pull. The difficulty is not that it cannot be pulled, but that most of what can be pulled have many requirements, and the control of capital use is also strict. In short, there are still big constraints. Of course, you have to say it the other way around. You think that China Animation Company is not strong in production capacity, so investors are not confident. So if one is not good, you will force interference. That also makes sense. After all, there is nothing wrong with only one party. It is mostly comprehensive.

This time the three joint ventures to establish an animation film company are not only a combination of a large platform and Meng Fan’s reputation, but also because of the resources integrated by the Shanhai Animation Festival. Two very important resources, one is talent and the other is It is funds. As for the content of the project, this is really not lacking.

Now what is at the meeting is how to choose too many projects!

Integrating these many resources, it is definitely necessary for Xizi Films to choose projects that can start well, otherwise, it will have a great impact in the future.

The selection of the project must be aimed at the box office and word of mouth. After it is made, it is not a failure if the two can account for one. Of course, if you can get a double harvest at the box office, it is definitely the best, but the difficulty is not small, let alone a newly established animation film company, even Pixar is not 100% sure.

For animation films and even animation itself, although Chu Tiankuo came from this background, he was not proficient, so he focused on listening in meetings, but his vision and aesthetics were there. He definitely has to grasp the last hurdle to make decisions, otherwise he will not force that many voting rights.

As for the movie itself, since the corresponding task has not been triggered so far, Meng Fan will definitely not spend time to study in depth, even if he has a strong learning ability, so he will not pass the production process. Participate more.

At the end of the meeting, two big IPs and an original comic were discussed as the final candidates, and they looked towards Meng Fan.

“Lack of money?”

“Lack of people?”

“Since there is no shortage, then do it all!”

Meng Fan’s heroic decision: “Everyone is a senior or unique practitioner in this line. In the production process, the pros and cons will actually come out. When the time comes chooses which one will be released first, there must be counts. Then, ask money for money, ask for people to give!”

……

After the meeting, Meng Fan went to Imperial Capital to participate in the final rehearsal of Lantern Festival , And then recorded the next day-the recording and broadcasting of CCTV Lantern Festival.

Before that, he did not return to Hangzhou. After spending a day with Wu Tong at Imperial Capital’s house, he went to the training base, and Wu Tong also started the normal Palace Museum painting.

Soon after the Lantern Festival, it entered March in the Gregorian calendar. Meng Fan, who had been resting for about half a year, was about to enter the athlete competition period. Starting in April, there will be a relatively intensive event schedule. One month to formalize life, rest and training.

Before Meng Fan appeared at the training base, the first-line members of the National Team of Jushurou’s third team were basically in place. Except for some of the injuries that could not be trained in time, Meng Fan still served as a coach during the training camp. In fact, as far as the current strength of Meng Fan is concerned, it is enough to maintain a competitive state during training, that is, the coach of the weightlifting team will be more anxious to want Meng Fan to put a higher weight, but does not know what to ask for in lifting and judo. How to ask, it is too invincible.

In early April, there were Grand Prix and Master Competitions in Wrestling and Judo. All the team members were suffocating to get good results. The Jujutsu Center also set a goal. In addition to Meng Fan, strive to The other men and women each won at least five medals and two gold medals at each level. It is hard to say about wrestling. If you are judo, you must settle down and compete with the neon two.

This training camp lasted half a month, and the time flies quickly. For Meng Fan, everything is fine. There are no hard requirements for his training and guidance time, and he is free to come and go-anytime Go to Imperial Capital and meet Wu Tong-the only uncomfortable nature is to eat. Although the chefs at the training base have changed their tastes and the taste is really good, they still don’t eat well. Every time they think of hot pot, they will drool.

After returning to Hangzhou, Meng Fan became even busier. In addition to daily training and drawing, he also had to take make-up exams every day. Many Meng Fans failed to catch up with the school exams because of the National Team athletes. For identity, the exam can be retaken at any time-and write graduation thesis. As for the graduation exhibition, Meng Fan has no thoughts and time to do it.

The other thing is to take a stroll to the Xizi Cultural and Creative Park whenever you have time. Because of the presence of Xizi Pictures and the influence of the Shanhai Animation Festival, the current Xizi Cultural and Creative Park is completely full. The area that Lian Shang is expanding has basically been booked, and he has secured his position as the first brother of Hangzhou Cultural and Creative Park.

Meng Fan has been following the progress of the three animated films.
