Chapter 177: Animation Workshop.
Li Ping always had a smug smile on his face in the past few days of the Chinese New Year, the only pity is that he has not moved to a new house for a long time, and he is not too familiar with his neighbors, unlike in the original compound, otherwise he can blow with people outside in the cold for a day.
He Chunxiang was also in a good mood, when she went out to buy vegetables these days, she actually saw someone playing her son's show on the big screen in the supermarket, and there were many people watching it around.
Listening to their praise for her son, He Chunxiang didn't mention how beautiful it was, the only fly in the ointment was that no one knew that it was her son, and she couldn't tell others yet, otherwise she would be considered a psychopath, which would be a pity.
During the Chinese New Year, it was naturally indispensable to visit the door, Chen's father came to the door in person, not to mention his red eyes, he seemed to wish that Li Mu was his son, and made Chen Xuan and Chen Jiajia jealous, and blackmailed Li Mu fiercely.
Coincidentally, Chen Xuan's big drama on CCTV was also broadcast after the year, although he is a third man, but there are really a lot of scenes, and you can also see from the play that Chen Xuan's acting skills have made great progress, and his popularity has also begun to grow explosively after a period of precipitation.
Chen Jiajia is envious: "Woo~~~~ You have all become big stars, and I won't have that life." β
Chen Xuan smiled and rubbed her head: "Should you think about it from another angle, you are the sister of two big stars, how proud you are?"
"Cut~~~" It's a pity that Chen Jiajia doesn't buy it very much.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after the Lantern Festival, Li Mu and Chen Xuan set off from their homes to the magic capital, but after deceiving their parents' ears and eyes, Li Mu turned around and came to the vicinity of the city's No. 1 Middle School.
"What are you doing mysteriously?" Chen Xuan looked around curiously.
Li Mu didn't speak, just made a phone call, and then about ten minutes later, he saw a taxi turn around and come from the No. 1 Middle School in the city.
Li Mu opened the door without saying a word, and took out two large boxes from the trunk of the taxi.
"Hey, girl, you're not right, didn't you talk about Yangcheng Airport? What's going on?" the taxi driver was stunned, didn't he say yes just now?
Wang Ziwen paid the fare with an apologetic face: "Master, I'm sorry............"
"You young people are really interesting, don't make fun of us in order to hide from your parents. "The driver can only admit that he is unlucky, originally thought that this time he was taking a big job, but he ended up getting a starting price, but fortunately this is in the city..........
Chen Xuan reacted at this time, and hurriedly got out of the car to help with the luggage.
"It's the first time you've met, right?" Li Mu smiled and hammered Chen Xuan's shoulder, and then introduced them.
"Yo, I have to call my sister-in-law, right?" Chen Xuan's words directly made Wang Ziwen blush, but she still shook hands with Chen Xuan generously.
"Call me by name, Wang Ziwen, big star, it's a pleasure to meet you. β
When Chen Xuan got into the car, he whispered: "Okay, if you kid didn't break the ............ today."
"Don't look like we can't see anyone, fall in love openly, Chen Xuan's child, what age is this?" Li Mu said disdainfully.
In terms of bickering, where is Chen Xuan's opponent Li Mu, he was quickly defeated, but this guy seemed to be a little unconvinced, and he actually broke a fierce news.
"What? Are you in love with Zhou Mengying?" Li Mu really didn't expect that the honest Chen Xuan would be able to get together with the initiator who was in the creation camp at the beginning.
"Is that very popular little flower girl Zhou Mengying?" Wang Ziwen was also ignited by the raging fire of gossip.
Chen Xuan nodded a little proudly: "Hehe, in fact, we have been in contact since the creation camp, and we only established a relationship last year." β
Okay, this kind of sullen contestant is the most terrifying, it is estimated that if their relationship is announced, they will set off a wave of craze on the Internet, and the trainee debut finally took away the promoter of the show, which can be regarded as half a mentor, right? Chen Xuan's proper template for counterattack.
It took almost twenty hours from Rongcheng to the Demon Capital, and Li Mu and Chen Xuan drove for two days, and finally arrived in the Demon Capital.
Naturally, he also wanted to invite Chen Xuan to come to their "love hut", and Chen Xuan said after the visit: "No, I also want to get a house in the magic capital." β
Li Mu shouldn't worry about this problem, Chen Xuan has made a lot of money over the years, and buying a house is not a problem.
Then the sullen fellow made a phone call, and when he had finished the call, he ran away, not even eating dinner at their place, and it was evident that he had done something unseemly.
Li Mu originally wanted to be bored with Wang Ziwen for a few days, but unfortunately she still had to go to work, and Li Mu, who was really bored, could only report to the studio.
In fact, the management framework of the studio is very mature, and he is not needed to maintain the operation at all, his existence is like a mascot, everyone sees the boss here, and they work hard, and they want to perform in front of the boss.
In fact, it was completely useless, Li Mu never interfered in the management of the company at all.
"The box office of Journey to the West has been divided, and there are one billion, do you still want to continue to invest in finance and real estate?" asked Shi Ran.
Li Mu shook his head: "Don't move this money for the time being, I'll think about it again." β
In fact, in the studio, Li Mu was also idle, and he had nothing else to do, so he had to continue to work on the magic reform of Heaven and Dragon Slayer, to be honest, he was not sure whether such a magic change would be recognized by his book friends, but he still decided to give it a try, if this road worked............
When I got home from the company, I found that Wang Ziwen was a little listless, and I couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong? β
Wang Ziwen's face turned red, and she snorted: "Oh, what are you talking about, I'm annoyed because of work." β
"Oh, what's the matter, tell me?" Li Mu handed over a glass of boiling water.
"Didn't I get promoted at the end of last year, and the company asked me to lead the team to take charge of a new project, but the project I applied for was beaten back in the first round, saying that it was too risky to reconstruct an unknown worldview, so it was better to directly buy the copyright of the network for adaptation. β
Li Mu listened and nodded, now this is also a more popular practice in the industry, and the price of anime adaptation is not very high, and it has its own fans, which will also have a lot of benefits for future distribution.
"And then?"
Wang Ziwen held her chin depressedly and said: "Then we found a network on the origin network to prepare for the adaptation, but the origin network actually said that they did not have the copyright of this one, and they even refused to give the author's contact information." β
"Is there such a thing?Origin Network is so high-spirited??Is the money-making thing still pushed out?" Li Mu also wondered.
Wang Ziwen hugged Li Mu's arm depressedly and rubbed it: "Isn't it, our company has cooperated with Origin Network several times, and the relationship is good, I don't know what's wrong this time." β
"Oh, then there's no way, by the way, what's the name of that book?" Li Mu said that he couldn't help it.
"Shushan Immortal Demon Record. β
"Poof~~~" Li Mu squirted a mouthful of water on the table, if he wasn't sure that he hadn't told Wang Ziwen his online account ID, he would even wonder if Wang Ziwen was deliberately teasing him, there was such a coincidence?
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?, how can you still choke on drinking water?" Wang Ziwen hurriedly took a tissue and handed it to Li Mu.
"It's okay, it's okay, suddenly choked. β
Li Mu didn't directly tell Wang Ziwen that he was the author of "Shushan Immortal Demon Record", and he would definitely not release it if he was authorized, but Wang Ziwen gave him a new idea, and this idea actually came about before the release of [Crazy Stone], when the studio started animation.
It's just that whether it can be formed or not, he still needs to sum it up with Shi Ran.
After a while, Li Mu told Shi Ran and Shi Ran his thoughts, and Shi Ran really couldn't touch Li Mu's pulse for a while.
"How do you think it's a play, and you suddenly think of buying an animation company?"
Li Mu shrugged: "Actually, I had this idea a long time ago,And in recent years, Guoman's market has been expanding,I believe that after a while,There will be excellent Guoman on the big screen,Great successγ β
"This ............" Shi Ran was not intimidated by the prospect that Li Mu said, but felt that it was unreliable at all, Guoman was not on the big screen, but, it was all the kind of children's animation that was a family carnival, and the so-called success was that the child's money was easier to earn.
Of course, Li Mu, as his own boss, Shi Ran must not be able to object directly, so he can only ask sideways: "How do you know about this animation company?"
"My girlfriend works at this company. "Li Mu and Shi Ran have nothing to hide.
Shi Ran rolled his eyes for a while, okay, is this the legendary strength to pet his girlfriend? Buy the company, and then let his girlfriend do it?
Of course, after calming down, Shi Ran still followed Li Mu's instructions to conduct a detailed investigation of the company.
"This animation workshop is actually a pretty good animation company in the industry, and there have been several well-known animations before, and there are several animation production teams under ........... hands, and even a special effects production team."
"Special effects production team?" Li Mu's eyes lit up, Xianxia film and television dramas need a lot of post-production, and if the special effects can be self-sufficient, they will definitely save a lot of money.
Shi Ran looked at his expression and quickly explained: "His special effects production is mainly for some effects rendering of anime, which cannot be compared with the real special effects team, if you want to develop, it is a bottomless pit that burns money." β
Li Mu also knows that the current funds are not enough to support a top-level special effects team, but he is not in a hurry, when the time comes, he can hand over simple projects to his own people to practice, outsource complex ones, develop steadily, invest for a long time, and there will always be opportunities to develop.
Shi Ran looked at it, yes! She said in vain, this hasn't been bought yet, and you started to beat the idea of other people's special effects teams?
"Here is a professional appraisal report, the market value of this animation studio is about 650 million, but if we want to get a controlling stake in it, we have to buy it at a premium, and it is conservatively estimated to be at least 480 million. Shi Ran said.
Li Mu did not take the evaluation report, but said to Shi Ran: "No, what I want is not a controlling stake, but all the shares except for the shares of the management team, and the money is not enough to be able to withdraw from my private account, understand?"
"Understood, I'll go and prepare. Shi Ran nodded solemnly.
