Chapter 693: Starlight Anime
"At that time, the matter of "Wulin Gaiden" will be handed over to you. Chen Mubai said.
"Huh?" Lu Fang said in surprise: "Aren't you responsible, you are very optimistic about this drama!"
At the beginning of the filming of "Wulin Gaiden", Chen Mubai was very optimistic about this drama, and he firmly believed that this drama would be a success.
Everyone has also read this script, although the script is of high quality, and a lot of the content in it is borrowed from the past and the present, but the costume sitcom still has spoof elements, and Lu Fang and others are not sure whether the audience will pay for it.
Since Chen Mubai is so sure, everyone thinks they can give it a try.
Lu Fang thought that Chen Mubai would be responsible for this matter, but he didn't expect him to hand over this matter to himself.
"I don't have time, I'm in charge of the new movie. Chen Mubai shrugged and smiled.
"The later stage of "Wulin Gaiden" is almost there, you will go to make a movie after you finish it, or you let them shoot it first, you go later, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Lu Fang said.
Chen Mubai attaches great importance to the drama "Wulin Gaiden", and it is best for him to be in charge, Lu Fang is afraid that he will not make a mistake and affect the quality of this drama, which is not good.
Chen Mubai is a screenwriter, he knows best what kind of picture he wants, and it is best for him to be responsible.
"No, Brother Lu, I'm going to Thailand to shoot this movie. Chen Mubai said helplessly.
"Thailand?" Lu Fang said in surprise: "Why did you go abroad?"
"No way, the plot needs it. β
"Don't worry, I'll communicate with Chen Yunteng and them before I leave and see what they cut. Anyway, if you follow the general direction, there will be no problem, you are mainly responsible for the promotion of the work and the selection of TV stations. β
"You can have a viewing party, and I think they can definitely see the quality of the show. β
"Okay......"
Chen Mubai is very confident in "Wulin Gaiden", and the TV station may have been worried about the quality of the work before, as long as the finished film comes out, everything is not a problem.
As for whether they will pay for it, Chen Mubai believes that the people who can sit in the positions of major TV stations will definitely not lack an appreciative eye, and it should not be a problem.
......
Chen Mubai has been watching the edited content of "Wulin Gaiden" in the next few days.
According to the situational story in the script, there is no difference in the general content, only subtle differences, and the impact is not great.
As long as it's funny, as long as the core of the story hasn't changed, it's fine.
Chen Mubai explained some things to them before leaving, and then he was relieved to give them full responsibility for this drama.
Chen Yunteng and Ji Yuxuan have grown a lot in the past few years, and they have gradually become the mainstay of the company.
There is also a new generation of freshman directors within Mubai Entertainment who are learning and growing, and Chen Yunteng and others can take charge of themselves and cultivate newcomers.
However, it will take a long time for this time, after all, the director's profession requires a lot of experience and qualifications, and it will take a lot of time for the new generation of directors to grow up.
Plans for the acquisition of theaters are still underway, and the pace of acquisitions has been accelerated.
There is good news, because Xingcheng Entertainment's capital chain is in difficulty, they have chosen to sell some theaters with poor locations to recoup funds to make up for the lack of capital chain, and at the same time, they also want to give up the theaters that do not make money, which is a burden.
In the past, when the company's business was thriving, there was no problem, but once the company's business was not good, it was a cancer, and it was necessary to subsidize the theater, which made matters worse.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they chose to abandon a part of the theater and get through the current difficulties first.
Lu Fang secretly bought these peddled theaters at a higher price than the market price, and Xingcheng Entertainment sold them very happily, not knowing that his theaters had fallen into the hands of Mubai Entertainment.
Li Feng was in charge of inspecting the special effects company, and he contacted a friend to find a company with relatively strong strength but difficult capital operation to contact.
There are some people who have dreams, they want to contribute to the animation industry in China, and many companies are generating electricity for love.
Because of the general environment, the animation industry in Huaxia has developed slowly, which is an industry that costs more money and has a low return on profits.
After all, many people don't like to watch anime, everyone is an adult, and the animation industry has not been able to develop.
Children like to watch animation, and the things that anime tells are only understood by adults, and the two are not the same level, and the domestic animation industry is just in its infancy, mainly primary school students.
Therefore, animation production companies mainly produce children's animation.
Some of them have been influenced by Japanese animation and want to improve the level of domestic animation, but they found that the general environment is really not conducive to the development of animation, and everyone's dream has been stranded.
Starlight Animation is such an anime company.
Their employees are all young people, and they also come together because of their hobbies.
At the beginning, I wanted to make a wonderful Guoman,It's a pity that I can't get the tilt of policy resources,The tasks issued by many countries have been taken away by related companies,To emerging companies like them,It's difficult to compete at allγ
And the tasks given by the state are all the main theme or the level of children's animation, and they don't want to do this all the time.
On weekdays, I can only model for game companies, or complete special effects clips for some film and television companies, so as to maintain the daily operation of the company.
But lately, they've had a hard time.
The success of Chen Mubai's several films is a model of small cost, and because it is storytelling, there is no pursuit of special effects, which has led to a group of film and television companies beginning to learn from him and want to appear works based on storytelling.
Most of them are 2D movies, and even 3D movies are a lot less.
And those big tasks are handed over to companies with great fame and strength in the industry, and it is not their turn to be a group of small companies.
In normal times, they can also receive tasks assigned to them by some large companies to make some money, which is equivalent to a large company being a third party, and the task is assigned to them to do the task with a transfer of money in the middle.
Who let them not have this relationship, and the powerful crew does not trust them, and prefers to choose familiar objects for long-term cooperation.
However, at present, the atmosphere of the industry as a whole does not need special effects, which leads to the fact that the tasks of large companies are not so busy, and the amount of tasks is enough for the company to digest.
"Mr. Fu, are we really going to go out of business?"
In the office, a project manager looked at the person in front of him and said sadly.
"There's no way, I can't hold it anymore, I can't let my brothers suffer, everyone is a family and needs to support their family, I can't selfishly ask them to work for free. Fu Chunlai closed his eyes and said in a heavy tone.
"We're willing to ......"
"I don't want to, even if we get through the difficulties, we won't be able to receive good resources, and the problem will not be fundamentally improved, so it's better for you to find a way out as soon as possible. β
Their company is formed by a group of familiar people, originally professional students in a school, and everyone came together because of a common hobby.
Then when I was young, I was hot-headed,I want to make a little contribution to Guoman,Everyone agreed to open an animation company together after graduationγ
The big one is a rich second generation, but this line of work is really not as simple as they think.
After a few years of changes, some people have left and some people have come, and most of the students who came in were the students who graduated from the school, so Fu Chunlai felt that he needed to be responsible for them, and he didn't want everyone to continue to resist.
The original enthusiasm has also been extinguished by today's reality, and the soil for domestic animation and special effects is really not good.
At least not at this stage, maybe in the future, but they can't wait.
"Go tell them. Fu Chunlai waved his hand and said: "I will form a game in the evening, and everyone will rest when they are drunk, hoping that the future will be bright." β
β...... Good. The manager regretted that the corners of his mouth twitched for a while, and he responded.
Indeed, as Fu Chunlai said, this industry is really difficult, even if they are willing to persevere, but not everyone's family situation is good, and many people need money.
They are no longer young, they are no longer people who talk about their dreams all day long, they need to be realistic.
"Mr. Fu, there is a ......"
After a while, a person ran into the office and told Fu Chunlai.
"Who?" Fu Chunlai wondered.
"Is it a customer?"
It's not impossible, otherwise who would find him?
But it's too late now, and he's already decided to dissolve the company.
"Forget it, let's take a look, if the amount of the task is not large, it will be the last order, and the proceeds will be given to everyone as a bonus. β
Fu Chunlai nodded and said, "Let him in." β
"Hello. β
"Hello, I'm Li Feng. β
After Li Feng entered the door, he introduced himself to Fu Chunlai.
"Excuse me......"
"That's right, I heard that your company is having trouble turnover?"
"I'll tell you the truth, yes, in fact, we're ready to disband. Fu Chunlai didn't hide it, he really had this plan.
"If you have any requirements, just say that we can complete the task in the near future, and we will speed it up. β
Anyway, it's just the last deal, and if it can be the best, if it doesn't, it's no problem.
He no longer wants to make money, and the right to profit should be given as a bonus to the brothers who have followed him all these years.
"Do you accept the capital injection?" Li Feng's words surprised Fu Chunlai, he really didn't expect the other party to want to buy their company!
However, this line of work is not profitable, and the market is sluggish, isn't this looking for compensation?
Or, a liar?
No, the company is about to go bankrupt, what else can you deceive him?
"Let me introduce myself, I am the deputy general manager of Mubai Entertainment, and I am also introduced by acquaintances when I find your company, and some people who have worked with you before said that your level is good. Li Feng smiled and answered Fu Chunlai's doubts.
"I'm here to visit when I learn that your company is not working well, and if we can, we want to buy your company wholly and merge it into our company. β
Fu Chunlai was carried away by the news for a while, and said dumbfoundedly: "But we are an animation company!"
Mubai Entertainment must know it, entertainment companies, it's not on their side!
He also doesn't think that the other party buys their company just to make movie special effects, first of all, their movies have almost no special effects, and then, if they need special effects to make a movie, they will be handed over to the special effects company to do, why bother finding them, let alone acquiring them, impossible!
"I know, we have plans for the next phase of anime, but it's not convenient to know right now. β
"If possible, your company will be merged into our company, there will be no changes in personnel, we will look at it for a while, and if there are no other problems, you can still work together. β
"Really?"
"You guys make anime?"
"Yes. Li Feng nodded in acknowledgement.
"Give me a little time to think about it!" Fu Chunlai said.
"Okay, this is my business card, contact me later. Li Feng took out a business card and handed it to Fu Chunlai, and he took it with both hands to show solemnity.
If he could, Fu Chunlai didn't want the company to go out of business, after all, this was his hard work and everyone's dream!
And he also wants to be responsible for the apprentices, once the company goes out of business, someone will definitely fall into a period of unemployment.
It would be nice if someone could buy the company.
Join Mubai Entertainment, they will also produce anime, which is the best news for Fu Chunlai!
It's just a different boss, but he can still be in the anime industry he loves, and he's willing.
After all, their company didn't actually make much money, but it was just enough to keep running, and it wasn't that they were reluctant to sell, but they couldn't let go of their efforts.
Now, he can continue to fight for his dreams, and he is very happy.
For the other party's inspection problem, he believes that there is absolutely no problem, he understands this behavior, no company will raise idlers, and it must take a little time to investigate new people.
They are all a group of like-minded people coming together, and there will never be a jerk.
If they are acquired, it would be best if Mubai Entertainment did not lay off employees, he was worried that the other party would drive out some people, and since the other party said that there would be no changes in personnel, the most worrying thing would be gone.
