Chapter 313: Journey to the West IP
Heavy in the industry.
'A line of sky' issued a statement that it was officially offline.
From today onwards, there will be no more 'silver lining' brand in the industry.
This is not surprising to everyone.
After all, the 'first-line sky' has serious problems in the capital chain because of the multi-line parallel, and the later investment in the animation movie "Journey to the West: Marshal Tianpeng" also completely ignited the contradiction.
Thus the crisis officially erupted.
It can be said that the 'silver line' has long had a problem with funds.
As for Xia Ran, many people really admire it very much.
Back then, 'First Line Sky' was a small animation company in Huaxia, and it is said that when Xia Ran first started his business, there were only 6 people in the studio.
But Xia Ran has turned 'a glimmer of heaven' into a competitive and influential animation company in 10 years.
In the past 10 years, classic IPs such as "Unlucky Bear" and "Pig Laosan" have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In 2016, Xia Ran also won many awards for the best creation, best development, and best influence of domestic animation.
As a result, who would have thought that now in 2018, it is coming to an end.
From the box office hit the street at the beginning of the year, the industry has long expected the bankruptcy of the "first line of sky".
It's just that I am looking at the news 'A Glimmer of Heaven', except for the official, I still feel a little touched.
The well-known animation blogger 'Little Mantou', who once sprayed angrily with Xia Ran on Weibo, also said: "I personally don't have much affection for Xia Ran, because he is a scumbag, but I admire his efforts and influence on anime."
I saw him rise up a tall building, I saw him feast guests, and I saw his building collapse.
I hope that Xia Ran will not be slumped from now on, and I also hope that you can change your scumbag character.
At the same time, I expect Lin Chen to really want to develop domestic animation. β
This 'little steamed bun' Weibo has also been forwarded by many people.
This is also a shock in the industry.
Several famous IPs of 'First Line Sky' have all been carved up by other film and television companies, because they can make money directly in their hands.
But no one cares about the animation department of the 'silver line'.
Everyone knows that the current Guoman has no future.
Besides, the animation department that has eaten the 'first line of sky' is not a small number.
No one is stupid.
It's a fool to eat the 'silver line' of the animation department.
As a result, no one expected that it would be Xinghuo Film and Television that ate the 'first line of sky'.
You have to ask the audience if they know 'Spark Film and Television'?
I'm afraid that a large number of people say they have not heard of it.
But "Langya Bang", "The Pretender", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and "Bright Sword" have always heard of it.
Not to mention the biggest winner of this year's Qixi stall, "No Thieves in the World".
That's right, this is all invested by Xinghuo Film and Television.
As for the industry, it's different.
"Damn, Xinghuo Film and Television actually ate the 'first line of sky'???"
"Is this Lin Chen still thinking about saving Huaxia Animation??"
"The defeat of 'a glimmer of sky' is defeated in an animated movie, what the hell is Lin Chen doing?"
"I can't understand Lin Chen's thoughts at all, and it is said that the acquisition of 'A Line of Heaven' has made Xinghuo Film and Television empty of funds. β
"It's normal, no wonder Lin Chen said that the next movie is a small cost. β
......
For a while, everyone was discussing non-stop.
It's true that the current animated film is indeed in a recession.
The previous animated movies were all for children, and many of them were uneven.
In particular, "Journey to the West: Marshal Tianpeng", which was invested heavily and prepared for the filming of "Journey to the West", can be regarded as official, which made the industry begin to claim that "Guoman Movie" is dead.
So, what did Lin Chen do when he acquired the 'First Line of Heaven'?
Is there a lot of money?
At the same time, Lin Zhongjun, who was looking at the news, was also dumbfounded.
They 'Miller Film and Television' also have an animation department, but they have always been in the TV series, and there is almost no investment in big movies.
Because I know it's impossible.
After seeing the hit of this year's 'first-line sky' animation movie, Miller Film and Television is also very happy.
Yes, even the 'silver line' has hit the streets, so they should not increase their investment in the 'anime movie'.
That's right, even the eight entertainment giants like Miller Film and Television dare not rashly invest in animation movies.
Who would dare to say otherwise?
It turned out to be good.
Today, 'A Line of Heaven' suddenly issued a joint statement with 'Xinghuo Film and Television', which instantly made Lin Zhongjun stunned.
I see.
Everything is understood.
It's no wonder that Lin Chen has been recovering funds recently, and even advanced some funds in advance in Mile Film and Television.
Before, Lin Zhongjun felt that Xinghuo Film and Television was so short of funds, did he want to shoot the next blockbuster?
It turned out well.
It turned out to be for the acquisition of the 'first line of heaven'.
"This, this is too dead. β
Lin Zhongjun also muttered to himself: "Lin Chen, doesn't he think that he can still lead the country?"
......
"It's too inflated. β
Luo Qing came back from shock and said, "Brother, what do you say Lin Chen wants to do with spending a lot of money to buy a line of heaven?"
"What??"
Luo Hai shook his head slightly: "I don't know, because the final value of the 'first-line sky' is actually the IPs of 'Unlucky Bear' and 'Pig Laosan', but these IPs have been divided by other companies, and the rest of the people are the least important, but Lin Chen has eaten them." β
Can't figure it out.
Luo Qing said suddenly: "Brother, will Lin Chen also shoot anime movies?"
"Hehe, do you really think that he Lin Chen is the protagonist of the hanging?"
Luo Hai smiled: "Even the eight major film and television giants know that anime movies are not good, and he Lin Chen wants to kill them with his own strength?"
What do you think?
No one is a fool.
Regarding Lin Chen's acquisition of the 'First Line of Sky' animation department, most of the industry looks at the mood of fools.
There are also some people who feel that Lin Chen belongs to a typical type of person who is stupid and has a lot of money.
Can you Lin Chen really drive Guoman?
In this regard, Lin Chen is also ready to be interviewed.
He had to build momentum.
At this time, if you don't build momentum, then you will waste hot spots.
At this time, Zhao Zichu must be taken seriously.
Spark Film and Television.
Yuan Ye said to Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, do you think it's worth it for us to spend so much effort to eat the 'first line of sky'?
"Rest assured. β
Lin Chen said without thinking: "In the future, there will be a place for animation in the film market, and animation movies may suppress all other blockbusters." β
Well, you're the boss.
It's up to you.
Anyway, after the box office share of "No Thieves in the World" comes back this year, the funds of Xinghuo Film and Television will not be so tight.
But Yuan Ye always felt that his boss spent so much money to eat the 'silver line', and he felt that it was just three words......
Money burns.
Later, Zhao Zichu also arrived.
As soon as they met, Zhao Zichu also admired and said: "Director Lin, you have done a really good job of secrecy measures, and you are a big deal as soon as you make a move." β
Indeed, Zhao Zichu really felt shocked.
The acquisition of the 'silver line' they didn't get any news beforehand.
After it broke out today, it was simply on the hot search with a thunderous momentum.
The other peers were all thinking about interviewing Lin Chen, but there was no way.
On the contrary, Zhao Zichu actually received a call from Lin Chen's agent.
Now all peers are envious of him, Zhao Zichu hugged his thighs in a timely manner.
Now Xinghuo Film and Television will look for him Zhao Zichu for everything.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zichu's position in the Beijing Entertainment News has become more and more stable.
After a brief greeting, the formal interview began.
The interview lasted for almost 30 minutes, basically focusing on why Lin Chen wanted to acquire the 'first line of heaven'.
At this time, Lin Chen naturally wanted to blow hard.
"At the beginning, I said that 'martial arts' would not die, but no one believed it, but "Embroidered Spring Knife" has proved it. β
"Now I want to tell you,Guoman will not die,Not only will it not die,Guoman will continue to recast brilliance in the future,Even the box office of animation movies is 1 billionγ2 billionγ3 billion is possibleγ β
"Why should I buy a glimmer of heaven??"
"Let me ask you, what is most important in the 21st century?"
"Talent!"
"Every talent in the animation department of 'A Line of Sky' is unique,I need them,That's right,I need them,Our Guoman can't do without these talents for self-improvement,So even if you spend more money, I think it's worth itγ β
......
As soon as this interview came out, it instantly became a hot search.
Lin Chen also sent a micro blog and said: "Why do you want to acquire 'A Line of Heaven' This is the reason!"
"It's awesome Lin Chen, awesome, I hope you can withstand it. β
"Nima, this forest dust feels more swollen than Xia Ran. β
"It's not just inflation, good guys, you want to make billions of anime movies, how can this be ???"
"I don't think it's possible, but because he's Lin Chen, I think it's possible. β
......
The number of people discussing is skyrocketing.
However, Lin Chen did not reveal the plans for the next anime movie.
At present, the top priority is to focus on another movie.
However, the animation department that was bought at such a large price, it is impossible for Lin Chen to let them be idle.
In the conference room, Lin Chen held a simple meeting for various departments of the animation.
"Okay, I hope you can continue to work hard, but don't study the previous script. β
Lin Chen waved his hand slightly and said: "You are all excellent talents, and you have no problem with your grasp of animated films, but your script is a hard injury, and I already have a general idea of the next animated movie, I will give you a line, and you will make it." β
Everyone here looked confused.
Does Lin Chen also understand this animation script?
Yes, as if he could read minds, Lin Chen said to everyone: "Everyone is right, the first script we have to do next is nothing else, it is "Journey to the West""
"What ???"
Zhao Jian, the person in charge of the animation department, jumped up directly: "Mr. Lin, you're not joking. β
Not only Zhao Jian, but Song Ze, the minister of the screenwriting department, also said: "Mr. Lin, you should know best why the 'first-line sky' went bankrupt, and at this time you use the IP of "Journey to the West"
Other departments of the animation department are also almost fryers.
"Mr. Lin, we know that you are indeed good at the script, but anime, you don't understand. β
"Yes, you don't know about anime, today's 'Journey to the West' IP is already flooded, so there is no market at all. β
"That's right, Mr. Lin, according to my opinion, let's use another script. β
......
Everyone was either tactful or tough, hoping that Lin Chen could pay attention to it a little.
No way.
Now they're almost on the verge of collapse in the animation department.
The 'silver lining' is over.
But life goes on.
Listening to Xia Ran, this Lin Chen is at least sincere about anime, not to mention Lin Chen's status in the entertainment industry.
It turned out well.
What did Lin Chen use to prepare the first anime script when he came up?
With the IP of Journey to the West?
What kind of international joke is this?
Everyone's thoughts are similar, they don't want to just come to Xinghuo Film and Television, and then Xinghuo Film and Television will go bankrupt again.
Looking at them, Lin Chen said with a smile: "Don't be excited, let me tell you why you use the IP of Journey to the West, the flood of an IP shows one thing more, that is, there is enough mass base, and what we need to do is to make some changes on the basis of the original, in short, it is new wine in old bottles." β
It's a pity that no matter how confident and high-spirited Lin Chen is, he can't change the pessimistic atmosphere of the animation department.
But it doesn't matter, wait for Lin Chen to write the script.
Then they will know.
At the end of the meeting, Lin Chen also left, and he needed to prepare for the next 'Golden Bell Award'.
Yuan Ye took Zhao Jian, Song Ze and others to the new office area.
"This is where your animation department will work in the future, of course, Xinghuo Film and Television is still only a small company at present, so this place can't be compared with the office area of 'Ray of Sky'. β
Yuan Ye said with a smile: "But don't worry, under the leadership of Mr. Lin, the animation department of our Xinghuo Film and Television will definitely be getting better." β
After a brief encouragement, Yuan Ye left.
As for the people who came from the 'first line of heaven', they didn't have much morale.
Song Ze said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhao, do you think this Lin Chen is reliable?"
The person in charge of the storyboard department also said in a low voice: "I also think it's unreliable, this Lin Chen doesn't know the animation market at all, and I'm worried that he's another Mr. Xia." β
"I wasn't embarrassed to say it just now, when Mr. Xia started preparing for the filming of "Journey to the West: Marshal Tianpeng", he also said the same tone?"
"Alas, yes, maybe geniuses are more paranoid, if Mr. Xia could listen to us at the beginning, why not?"
......
At this time, it can be said that the anime department is full of sorrow, and they all have a premonition that it won't be long before they have to continue to leave.
Just by virtue of Lin Chen's inflated strength.
Want to really bring Guoman out?
How easy is it to say?
But Lin Chen has already begun to enter the busyness of the script.
Time forks again.
With the Golden Bell Awards approaching, the news on the Internet has all been dominated by the 'Golden Bell Awards'.
This time, Lin Chen's shortlisting with "Embroidered Spring Knife" is also attracting attention.
October 16th.
The Golden Bell Awards have officially begun.
