"I told you from the beginning that the purpose of my entry into the animation industry and the establishment of Shanhai Animation and other related studios is not to share a piece of the cake in the animation market with popularity, but to make the cake bigger with more practitioners. ”

Meng Fan took a sip of water and continued: "I take out this 10 million yuan every year to hold the Shanhai Animation Award, the purpose is to help Huaxia animation develop better and faster, increase the influence of the industry, increase the income of practitioners, and prosper the entire industry." The 10 million will be used to reward outstanding practitioners, including comic book authors, original artists, directors, screenwriters, voice actors, anime singers and musicians, and other practitioners in various positions. ”

"My initial idea is to set up several awards, each award is a number of people, and the way to win the award is divided into two ways, one is to vote purely by popularity, and the other is recommended by industry insiders, with half of the quota and equal sharing of the prize money. The distribution of bonuses will be based on the actual situation. In short, the 10 million, as well as the amount of possible sponsorship, will be fully distributed!"

"The sponsorship I am talking about here can be free sponsorship, that is, people in the industry or people from all walks of life who want to contribute to Huaxia Animation, can sponsor;

"I have to state here that I am going to set up a fund specifically to help low-income people in the animation industry and provide them with creative livelihood! If the amount of sponsorship exceeds a certain amount, such as 10 million, that is, the total prize money is 20 million, and the excess part will be remitted to this fund. “

"Of course, it's all based on the premise that you trust me. To be honest, I was hesitant to tell you about sponsorship and funding now, because from some points of view, I was suspected of making a donation. But if I think about it carefully, Huaxia Animation is not my business alone, I am famous, capable, and willing to contribute to Huaxia Animation within my ability, but I can't do it alone, I still have to work together. In addition, I think that among all of you here, as well as those who may read this passage in the future, there must be people who want to contribute to Huaxia Animation, but they haven't found the right opportunities and trustworthy organizations, so I should stand up. Even if there are a hundred people who say that I am selling my reputation and even pretending to be competitive, it is worth it if there is one person who is willing to stand with me. ”

Meng Fan's words were not made by feeling, but he had been thinking about it for a while, and there was an achievement task of [God of Wealth] that was secondary, but he really wanted to do something for Huaxia animation. In the past, I wanted to do it because of my limited ability, but now I have the ability to be popular and rich, so I took advantage of the press conference (live broadcast) of "Underground Spirit" to announce it.

The Shanhai Animation Award is a parody of the Anime Awards and Film and Television Festival on the neon side, and is ready to make an award ceremony, and the rewards given are real cash rewards in addition to honors. The money was made by Meng Fan personally, and in addition to promoting Shanhai Animation Studio and "Strange People of Mountains and Seas" by the way, the main reason for the name is quite domineering.

This fund to help low-income people in the animation industry is something that Meng Fan recently came up with, and it is a complementary role with the Shanhai Animation Award, the latter is used to build heights, and the former is used to lay foundations. In an industry, it is very healthy for the group at the top of the pyramid to make money, and the lower class needs to have a good environment for survival, life and creation, otherwise it will collapse sooner or later.

Of course, this fund definitely needs to be managed by professionals and go through formal procedures and be transparent, Meng Fan doesn't want to do bad things with good intentions and some disgusting things.

Meng Fan currently plans to take out 10 million to get this fund for the time being, and try it for a year or half a year to see the effect.

In addition, in addition to these two "10 million", Meng Fan also plans to set up an animation scholarship to reward and help students who study animation. In an industry, the power of academics can never be ignored or ignored.

After the broadcast, Meng Fan posted three consecutive pieces on the scarf to let them comment and leave relevant suggestions and opinions. Maybe in the eyes of some people, he is a little engaged, but he is serious, and he really wants to hear the most popular thoughts - if you want to listen to the words from a high position, some people are willing to come to the door to chat with him for three days and three nights without rest - maybe there are not many nutritious words in the message area, but there will definitely be.

In an industry, the upper level has status, the middle level has hope, the bottom level has food and dignity, and there are talents in reserve, which is the most direct embodiment of the healthy prosperity of an industry in Meng Fan's view.

For the upper and middle levels, what Meng Fan can do is only the icing on the cake, and the main purpose and energy will still be on the low-income people and reserve talents in the industry. As for himself, he belongs to the upper class, and all he can do is to raise the ceiling, although it may not all be related to comics.

After saying that he would do it and renew the scarf, Meng Fan contacted Tao Dongli and Hu Yijing.

If you want to hold an event like the "Mountain and Sea Animation Award" and run it smoothly, you must have someone inside, and Tao Dongli can give Meng Fan the most direct help in this regard. This is a good thing, Tao Dongli will naturally not refuse, even if there may be some "criticism" of personal friendship.

In terms of setting up a fund, you still have to discuss with Hu Yijing first, although she is not an animation practitioner, she will know more than those in the studio in this regard, at least she can give some suggestions on the direction, who to find and how, so that Meng Fan can have a clearer understanding.

The next day, Hu Yijing came, and after talking, she helped Meng Fan contact a professional who is good at managing funds through several layers of relationships, and made an appointment to meet and chat in detail to see if she could help build a team.

In the afternoon, Meng Fan asked Qin Gang to find the dean of the School of Media and Animation of the Academy of Fine Arts, and when the dean heard that Meng Fan was going to spend 10 million yuan a year to set up a scholarship, of course he was happy, and immediately found the head of the department to have a two-hour meeting with Meng Fan and Qin Gang, finalized the general content and direction, and then slowly improved and came up with the final plan in the next period of time.

The general content is to attract art students to choose animation majors, solve the practical difficulties of some students, create a more creative learning environment, and reward outstanding students......
