Chapter 12 Western Action Painting
There's been a lot going on throughout October.
First of all, the filming site of the promotional film was temporarily seized, so that the filming could not be carried out smoothly, and Ji Yingzi and Li Youqing could only find a way to communicate with the Azure Film and Television Base.
But since the other party dares to lend your venue to others, it is naturally all the preparations, and there is no reason to give the venue back easily, but it just means that you can wait until there is a vacant shooting venue before renting it to them.
For this reason, Ji Yingzi and Li Youqing could only start to try their best to find a relationship to solve this problem.
On the other hand, there are things about Doraemon anime characters that are also involved, and to Jiangbei's surprise, Zhang Jiuliang brought good news when he was writing the Doraemon story.
"Brother, Cilana has resigned from Kyoto Animation, and she will help us take care of some matters of the animation company in the future. In a café outside the community, Ryoryo pointed to Nozawa Coriander and said.
Seeing that Liang Liang mentioned himself, Nozawa Coriander also got up and bowed to Jiangbei with interest: "Please give me more advice in the future." ”
Jiang Bei's face on the opposite side was full of astonishment, and he asked hesitantly, "What's going on?"
Kyoto Animation is a world-renowned animation company, and Nozawa Kana is the head of Kyoto Animation's studio, and she is already a senior executive of the company from the perspective of her position.
Seeing his brother's appearance, Liang Liang waved his hand and replied casually: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Coriander thinks that our Doraemon has unlimited potential, and she wants to add some challenges to her life, so she chose us to start from scratch." ”
"Is that so......" Jiangbei didn't believe Liang Liang's words, and turned his head to look at Nozawa Coriander.
Nozawa Coriander pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and replied, "Jiuryo sauce is only half right, and more importantly, I feel happiness in her, which has never been in my previous company, and I like this feeling." ”
In fact, Nozawa Kana's words are really not nonsense, although Kyoto Animation is a world-renowned animation company, but the internal competitive pressure is also unimaginable to ordinary people. Even if she is the person in charge of the studio, in addition to completing the tasks given by the company, she also has to work hard not to be surpassed by the vice presidents below, and the work pressure can be described as extremely strong.
There is no joy in this kind of work environment.
Of course, the most important point is that she is optimistic about Doraemon, an original animated character, and believes that Doraemon has the potential to amaze the world.
Jiangbei himself knew this in his heart, so he only believed half of Nozawa Coriander's answer, and it was still under the condition that the gambling king had a natural affinity for the buff.
However, since Nozawa Kana is willing to join the animation company that has not yet been formed, he has no reason to refuse, and stretches out his hand and says, "Then Miss Nozawa is welcome to join." ”
"I'll do my best, Jiang Bei-kun. ”
“……”
The addition of Coriander Nozawa further boosted Doraemon's plan.
Two days later, an animation company with a registered capital of 2 million (source: special funds for family support and entrepreneurship support of gambling kings) was officially established in Weilan City.
Company name: Western Action Painting.
Corporate and general manager: Nozawa coriander.
Shareholders: Jiangbei (20), Zhang Jiuliang (70) and Nozawa Kana (10).
After the creation of Western Action Drawing, the first thing the company did was to prepare for the production of Doraemon's manga.
According to Jiangbei's plan, he felt that it would be safer to copy the model of comics and then animation in his previous life.
Because a serialized manga can bring a lot of stable loyal readers, and at the same time, you can get everyone's feedback on Doraemon from the manga.
So at the beginning of the plan, Jiangbei began to create Doraemon's manga.
However, he is only responsible for writing stories, and this kind of thing has to be left to professionals to do such things.
People in this profession are naturally cool.
But Liang Liang was obviously not happy, and after two more days of retreat, he began to find a way to free himself.
"But brother, I can't do such a large amount of work alone, so I asked the company to recruit illustrators and artists. ”
There are too many Doraemon comics.,The number of times the original author himself drew it was as high as 1345.,In addition, there are large lengths, etc.,It's really a bit unrealistic to let Liang Liang draw alone.。
"Then recruit two painters to assist you for the time being. After thinking about it, Jiangbei agreed to this request.
Liang Liang's speed of action is still very fast, today he has just agreed, and tomorrow the two painters will have already entered the office of Xiyang Painting and started to work.
The reason why it is so fast and efficient is that the two painters are both from Merrill Lynch University, after all, they are seniors who have just graduated this year.
"My Slender and Slender have just graduated and haven't found a job yet, and their level of painting is very high, so I simply asked them to come over and help. ”
This is the explanation given by Jiangbei Liang Liang after learning about the matter, and he can only secretly sigh that there seems to be nothing in this world that the Ancheng gambling king can't do.
After the successful recruitment of painters, the operation of Western mobile painting entered a high-speed promotion stage.
Jiangbei sits in the upper reaches to write the plot of the short film in each of Doraemon, and then hands it over to Ryoryo and the painter to let them be responsible for drawing the illustrations, while Nozawa Kana is responsible for finding a serialization platform and forming an internal publishing channel for the company.
The steps were well organized and went very smoothly.
In particular, Kana Nozawa, who is in charge of external affairs, showed her strong business ability, and everything was handled effectively without any accidents.
In addition to the western action painting, the publicity and shooting of Qingjiang hot pot is also officially on the right track.
After being temporarily snatched away by the crew of "Daqing Fenghua", Li Youqing and others were finally able to shoot smoothly in another film and television base through various negotiations and finding someone to help.
After a week-long filming cycle, the entire shooting ended under a green screen.
It's not fast, after all, it's just a promotional film, and it doesn't require too many acting skills and details.
Secondly, this promotional film is a science fiction theme, and only half of the shooting can be taken, and the other half needs to be handed over to the production company for post-production.
However, in post-production, Ji Yingzi and Li Youqing had some differences.
The reason is that Ji Yingzi pursues perfect special effects too much, which greatly increases the budget, from 20 million to 40 million.
Li Youqing was naturally reluctant to do this, shook his head and refused: "Teacher Ji, I can't spend 40 million to shoot a promotional film, Jiangbei won't agree if he knows it, so I hope you can take a step back and don't pursue perfect special effects too much." ”
Ji Yingzi persuaded bitterly: "Youyou, this is not just a promotional film, it is also a perfect micro-film, if we make it better, not only for the movie itself, but also for the brand of Qingjiang hot pot!"
"Think about it, we are so careful to make a promotional video, to the extreme, so do you need to say that you need to make hot pot? It will definitely make everyone feel that our hot pot brand is as rigorous, serious and perfect as this promotional film. ”
After all, she is a teacher, and Ji Yingzi's eloquence and ability are several streets away from Li Youqing, and she hesitates when she says it.
But Xiao Nizi still didn't directly agree, in addition to the fact that she thought the investment was too high, there was also the fact that the matter of 20 million had to be discussed with Jiangbei.
……
In the evening, Li Youqing hesitated to tell the story after returning home.
In fact, she was not confident that Jiangbei would approve of this proposal, so she was prepared for the worst.
"Add 20 million to the special effects budget? 40 million can make a movie. Jiangbei chewed the rice in his mouth, and couldn't help frowning after hearing his wife's words.
What conditions!
Shoot a promotional video and spend 40 million.
"That's it, the total investment in my Western action painting is only two million, which is only worth a fraction of your money. Liang Liang also complained on the side.
This Western Action Painting was founded publicly, so the source of funds must be clean and clean, and the funds earned by secretly blacking Li Youqing cannot be used.
What made Liang Liang dissatisfied was that his brother only promised to give 2 million, but Li Youqing's promotional video directly gave 20 million.
The little girl's heart is unbalanced, and her speech is naturally full of complaints.
"You're right, 20 million is actually a lot, and the cost of additional investment is too great for us. Li Youqing was silent for a while, then nodded lightly in response.
Jiangbei didn't expect Xiao Nizi to be moved so quickly, staring at her with eyes and asking, "So what do you mean......"
Li Youqing hesitated for a while, bit his ruddy lips, stirred his hands irregularly under the dining table, and whispered: "I still have some savings myself, so can I ...... Give out the remaining 20 million yourself. ”
The investment amount of Qingjiang hot pot comes from the 200 million yuan of the demolition money, which belongs to Jiangbei's property in a strict sense.
Even Qingjiang hot pot is the same, because he wants to engage in the catering industry and established a brand chain.
So for Li Youqing, don't look at her busy with Qingjiang hot pot during this time, but in fact, she is just supporting her husband's entrepreneurship, and she is not even a partner.
"Tsk, it's really a rich woman, why don't my sister-in-law sponsor my animation company too?"
Originally, it was just a joke, and no one cared, but after listening to it, Li Youqing nodded seriously: "Yes, is five million enough?"
"Huh?"
Liang Liang looked at Li Youqing with a surprised face, feeling that something seemed to be wrong with her sister-in-law today.
"It's really too expensive to shoot a promotional film with 40 million, but since you decide to make additional investment, I can only support it. But we don't have to spend 40 million to shoot a campaign. Jiang Bei touched his chin and thought about it, and said.
"What do you mean?" Li Youqing was overjoyed to receive the support of her husband, and asked with squinted eyes.
"Remember the digital effects company we invested in before? You can put the post-production of the promotional film to the digital special effects company, which can save a lot of money. ”
