Chapter 63: Three Animation Directors
It was getting late and late, but Xia Ge and Dumpling were chatting energetically. Da Zhuang doesn't like anime, and he feels bored and his stomach growls at this time.
Seeing that the two of them hadn't eaten yet, he said, "Brother, give me the car keys, and I'll bring you something to eat." ”
Dumplings wondered: "Isn't it possible to order takeout? ”
Dumplings are really not good at human sophistication, if it is a person with higher emotional intelligence, the guest is hungry, and what takeout do you eat. Take people directly to the outside hotel.
It's not the same in the hotel to chat, Xia Ge waved his hand, took out the car key and gave it to Da Zhuang: "Go ahead." ”
"Leave him alone, let Da Zhuang pack it, his father is a chef in a star-rated hotel, and he will definitely bring back a bunch of delicious food later." Let's keep talking. ”
Dumplings then understood, and he was not entangled. nodded, and continued to discuss the future of the animation industry with Xia Ge with great interest.
He found that Xia Ge was very optimistic about the animation industry, and even predicted that 5 billion animated films would be born in 2019.
"The hope of anime may really be in Halo Media, they have prepared 500 million, and it is said that there will be 2 billion in the future. To create a series of Chinese myths. In fact, my Nezha is one of them, and there will be many series of Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongbao, and Erlang God in the future. Dumpling looked out the window, his eyes seemed to see the future. He said with great longing.
"By the way, it's rare to meet a rich second generation as optimistic as you, or I'll call my two friends over. Let's have a good talk today, you cheer up my friends, they are very nervous now. Dumpling said suddenly.
"Okay, I'll call Da Zhuang and ask him to bring some wine and more snacks. Xia Ge readily agreed.
The two of them made their own phone calls, and after the call, they continued the previous topic.
"Halo Media is very ambitious, but the conditions are too harsh. My project has never been able to do it, and I don't know what exactly they want. Dumpling said distressedly.
Xia Ge said: "Then why don't you do it yourself first, and wait for some achievements later." Will they join when they see it?"
Dumpling shook his head, Xia Ge still didn't know much about this industry.
For example, he said: "3D animated films are a large industry, more complex than real films. ”
"For example, the Nezha I am going to shoot is expected to use more than 1,600 people. How many people do you think there are in my studio?"
"If you want to make a good effect, you must first have a good script, then a good design, a good modeler, an animator, a special effects artist, a lighting engineer, and a renderer. Before and after the post, it is necessary to promote design, media docking, and dubbing contact. It's too complicated. Only a large group like Halo Media can do this. ”
Only then did Xia Ge understand that an animated movie was so complicated. He also wanted to intercept Hu Halo Media and engage in the Nezha project by himself, but his thinking was too simple.
However, he still did not give up, he asked: "Dumpling, how many shares does your friend Liang Li want to sell?
"Forget it, he and I are both one and a half, and it's not worth much. Our studio has no assets and no copyrights. At that time, he wanted to give me away for free. In the future, I will pay the 200,000 yuan salary per month for employees, and of course, I will earn it alone. But now the studio is no longer profitable. Sometimes I have to post tens of thousands, and if the rent of the house is included, we lose hundreds of thousands every month!" Dumpling shook his head.
"Then you said earlier that Halo Media wants to take a stake?" Xia Ge was puzzled.
Dumpling took a piece of white paper from the side, drew a circle on it, pointed to the circle and said, "This is my chocolate studio, there are more than 20 people and all kinds of talents." It's my core team, and Halo docked with me a year ago and asked me to get the production plan. ”
"This plan includes a complete set of project plans, and most of my current energy is to refine the plan, design the sketches through my friends, and discuss the technical difficulties with the relevant people. ”
The dumplings draw countless lines around the circle and are then connected to the chocolate workshop. To continue:
"Then we discussed which company in China could undertake the outsourcing business, and now 160 companies or individuals have been involved. We are not valuable, but important to the Nezha project. ”
"Halo wants to buy us as a whole and become his subordinate department, but I don't agree, so Nezha's project is according to the project plan. They invested 200 million, I got 5% and the studio 15%. Other self-financing. The acquisition may give me up to two million. But I can't sell it. ”
I didn't expect Dumpling to even talk to him about this kind of thing, but I was relieved to think about it, and the Nezha project hadn't been written yet. is still stuck in the initial stage of the script, and there is no project inside the halo.
There's nothing more that can't be said.
The two were chatting when two cars drove outside the villa. Dumplings and Xia Ge went to greet them together.
"This is Mu Ling, the chief director in charge of the Big Fish project, and this is the director of the White Snake project, Tie Xin. This is my roommate in the future, Xia Ge. It's a rich second generation, you can invest in him in the future. Dumpling laughed.
"The wooden guide is good, the iron guide is good. I'm Xia Ge, don't listen to dumplings, I'm the rich generation, not the second generation. Xia Ge explained.
Dumpling pointed to Xia Ge's car, smiling without saying a word. Xia Ge didn't bother to explain, and it was okay to misunderstand. He found that dumplings are really powerful, and the two project directors he knows, but their animations are good animations that will explode at the box office next year.
"Could it be because I've been using comic gear lately, so the system hides and passives. Will you automatically meet the relevant people?" Xia Ge thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
That's how the original sugar plus three spoons were recognized.
This is really good news for Xia Ge.
The four of them did not re-enter the conference room, but sat down on the sofa in the lounge area.
Dumplings introduced Xia Ge to the two of them or the author of the two novels, I don't know if it's an illusion. He found that the wooden guide and the iron guide seemed to have a little less sense of distance towards him.
The two of them were polite just now, but in fact, they may have looked down on the rich second generation in their hearts. I didn't talk to him much, and now the four of them talked about their respective projects, and there was a feeling of being in full swing.
Especially Xia Ge and dumplings, talking about Nezha. There is a kind of meaning of seeing each other and hating late.
"I'll show you the manuscript we drew and the outline. Help me give advice, why doesn't Halo give me a project?" Dumpling said distressedly.
Xia Ge also wanted to find an opportunity to become a shareholder of the chocolate company, so he actively discussed the plot with Dumpling.
He found that the plot of dumplings still did not depart from myths and legends, and did not sublimate the theme of Nezha.
Li Jing is still a bad person, and Nezha still got into trouble and then flooded Chentangguan. In the movie that Xia Ge saw, Li Jing became a good person, and all the characters in the movie had their own pursuits, and there was no simple distinction between good and evil.
After watching the movie, Xia Ge was almost moved to cry. And the current outline of dumplings gives people the feeling that it is formulaic and templated. There isn't much to it about.
Especially after seeing Nezha's design draft, Xia Ge was even more sure that this should still be the most basic version. and the movie in my head, 108,000 miles away.
He also became more confident in his plan.
