Chapter 149: This Time Is Not the Same
There are Chinese cartoons, although at present, in terms of concept, structure, and production level, there must be a big gap compared to Hollywood, but looking at the world, it is not the most outdated, it should be regarded as a medium level - the United States, Japan, should be regarded as above China, but other countries and regions, in terms of animation, is really not better than China. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are Chinese movies.
Speaking of literary films, in the past 20 years, Chinese films have basically represented the advanced level of Asian films, which is no worse than Japan, and better than South Korea, Iran, India and other major film countries, even if they are not inferior to European films that are declining day by day.
Of course, there is a gap between it and the United States, which advocates independent films and has many excellent films. The main reason is that the subject matter and vision cannot be opened, and the market has not experienced full development, and it is currently in the transition from pure literary films to commercial productions, and the audience is becoming more and more fond of watching blockbusters, and it seems that many literary films are becoming more and more reluctant to pay
Speaking of commercial films, although China started relatively late, in recent years, the progress has been quite rapid, but from the subject matter to the production, it is not comprehensive enough, and it is a bit excessively biased, but at least in terms of the overall film industry level and film technology level, it must be regarded as at least the second echelon in the world.
However, Chinese animated films ...... Sorry, it's blank!
In fact, when it comes to animated films on a global scale, there are basically two of them: Hollywood, especially Disney, and then, Japan.
The former sells globally, the latter eats itself.
As for the fact that once Minghu Animation is established, it will focus on the production of China's own animated films, which Li Qian has been mentioning, and he has also discussed this issue with each other in advance when he acquired the other two animation studios, so there is no suddenness.
A slight surprise at best!
Yes, it's easy to do it with a smile, really do it, and it's the first project that the company here has just straightened out and will start immediately, which is an animated movie!
This was something that Ma Aikui, Ma Yuan, and their father and daughter, as well as Hong Yuan, Hu Zongyi, and so on, did not expect in advance.
The thick stack of materials was handed out to each of the participants, and there was just one copy left in his hand, and Ma Yuan knew that this was about reserved for himself, the assistant general manager who attended the meeting.
So, seeing the commotion of the paper in the office, everyone was carefully looking through the information in their hands, and the expressions on their faces were different - their father seemed to be full of shock!
Ma Yuan couldn't hold back, and also opened the last piece of information that was still in her arms.
Sure enough, it was shocking!
But if you look closely, you will find that the author of this information, from the technology, technology, aesthetics, to the market, as well as the market differences between the East and the West and the so-called globalization factors, to the traditional characteristics of Chinese culture and Chinese animation, have been analyzed quite thoroughly - at least this time, Ma Yuan feels that the insights and insights contained in these articles are beyond the reach of himself, a person who knows cartoons and animated films very well.
After reading the first document, she couldn't help but nodded, thinking deeply that on the question of why she wanted to make an animated movie, this article was reasonable, well-founded, and very detailed.
After reading it, it makes you feel - he is right!
Flip back to the beginning and glance at it: Author Li Qian.
Taking a deep breath, I opened the second copy and glanced at it first: Author Li Qian.
Her eyes rolled, and she didn't look up, and she continued to look.
The first article made it clear why China wanted to make its own animated films, and now, the second article said one thing very rationally and objectively: how to do it!
After reading it, Ma Yuan slowly exhaled a breath very slowly, and sighed in his heart: "It's amazing! It's really amazing!" Then he still didn't dare to look up and look over there, and continued to look down at the third document.
This is the outline of an animated film called "Gourd Baby".
There is a detailed script attached to the back!
As soon as the story began, Ma Yuan's eyes were already bright: seven flowers on a vine!
China's long history, the cultural heritage that has never really been broken, and the vast territory and many ethnic groups, so that China has never lacked all kinds of folklore and mythological stories, and as we all know, Li Qian is a director and screenwriter who is very good at interpreting and grasping this kind of story, but this time, it is clear that he does not seem to intend to use any traditional myths and legends, but to make up a new story completely new.
Of course...... There are still snake spirits!
…………
Ma Yuan sat in the corner of the conference table, at this level of meeting, she, the assistant general manager of Minghu Animation, was barely qualified to attend the meeting and was responsible for making meeting minutes, so although she also had a copy of the information, from beginning to end, although she was more and more surprised, she never dared to raise her head to look at Li Qian.
But others don't have that scruples!
Since entering the conference room, he has always looked indifferent, and even just nodded to Cao Zhan, and he didn't pay attention to Qi Jie, the chairman and general manager, and Li Qian, the big boss behind the scenes, was only Hong Yuan, who didn't see it, when he first saw it, he was a little careless, but looking at it, the old man's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Seeing the middle, he didn't know how many times he raised his head to look at Li Qian.
Previously, Minghu Culture wanted to acquire Jiangnan Animation, and the second largest shareholder and chief artist, Mr. Hong Yuanhong, was once the biggest obstacle, because he was particularly reluctant to be acquired. But later, first, Cao Zhan did a lot of work, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as impressing the old man from his personal comprehensive cultivation and temperament, and second, Li Qian repeatedly promised to keep the label of Jiangnan Animation, so the old man saw that the situation was irreparable, and Jiangnan Animation was indeed about to go out of business, so he had to pretend to hand over the agency to Ma Aikui and his daughter Ma Yuan, and Ma Yuan would make the decision for himself, in fact, he agreed to the company's acquisition.
As for now, the old man has a stubborn temper, but it doesn't matter, Cao Zhan has already had a little friendship with him, so he dragged him from Songjiang Mansion and is currently the art director of Minghu Animation.
He is fifty-four years old this year, with gray hair and a bit of raunchy, but in China, if you want to talk about making cartoons, if you want to say that you have a grasp of the composition and beauty in cartoons, no one dares to say that you are better than Hong Yuan!
This old man, who entered the industry at the age of nineteen, won an international award with one of his animated short films at the age of twenty-three, and has been out of control since then, and has been a comprehensive leader in all aspects of domestic animation technology, thinking, art, and drawing for more than 30 years.
It can be said that he is the NO.1 in domestic cartoons!
Titan!
Master!
It is almost impossible for such a person to impress him with a few words, a promise of a bright future, or a passion or something like that.
It can be said that he only admires real things and real things.
But at this time, I have to admit that even if he looked at the information in his hand with the most critical eyes from the very beginning, he still couldn't help but read a few pages and was moved by it.
The information is detailed and specific, there is no empty talk of a sentence or even a word, from beginning to end, it is all about animation in a down-to-earth manner, and it ...... The insights are deep!
So, from the beginning of the reluctance, reluctantly read, but after just a few minutes, that is, a page or two, he began to read more and more seriously. After reading the previous two investigations, analyses and interpretations, he already had a solemn look on his face.
When he saw that the third copy was actually a detailed outline of the story, the expression on his face suddenly became more and more solemn - almost an extremely serious state, so serious that he even breathed tightly.
…………
Hearing the coughing sound in the conference room, and the people on both sides of the conference table began to make all kinds of small movements, Ma Yuan knew that he had to speed up.
However, when she looked up after reading the remaining pages of the script as quickly as she could, she found that she was not at the back of the queue - Li Qian, Cao Zhan, and Hong Yuan were still watching very attentively.
Especially Hong Yuan.
Ma Yuan stared at him fixedly for two minutes, and found that he was almost looking at one page and three pages back, as if he wanted to memorize every sentence.
Another twenty minutes passed, realizing that there were more and more small movements in the conference room, and some people began to whisper to each other, Cao Zhan and Li Qian both put down the information one after another - this information is Li Qian's first pen, after writing it, it has been added and deleted several times, and then the first reader is Cao Zhan, and after Cao Zhan got it, he discussed and scrutinized it over and over again, which formed the final draft.
Therefore, the two of them are too familiar with this information, but they have enthusiasm in their hearts, even if it is something they are extremely familiar with, they can still be fascinated by reading it again.
At this time, the two of them raised their heads one after another, and in the entire conference room, only one Hong Yuan was still looking down and looking seriously - he looked at things, especially when he was serious, he especially liked to point his fingers, point to the past line by line, and look at the past, at this time, he was slowly sliding his fingers, carefully looking at the script in front of him. I couldn't turn a page for half a day.
Everyone stopped talking, and the room was so quiet that it was audible to hear pins dropping.
Ma Aikui turned his head and glanced at Hong Yuan, and deliberately coughed loudly, but Hong Yuan turned a deaf ear, and continued to bend over, pointing with his finger and looking at it carefully.
Hong Yuan seemed to want to remind him again, but at this time, Li Qian waved his hand at him, and then when he looked over, Li Qian shook his head, pressed his palm down, signaling that he was not in a hurry, and waited a while.
So, a room full of people waited for Hong Yuan.
But Li Qian was not in a hurry at all, and everyone had to wait patiently.
He Runqing turned his head to look at Li Qian, and then turned his gaze to look at Hong Yuan, who was looking at the document seriously with his head down, and couldn't help but show a playful smile on his face.
However, when they were bored, many people went back to look through the information again.
Then, another twenty or thirty minutes.
Many people turned over the information from the beginning again, and when they turned their heads, Hong Yuan was still looking down. At this time, everyone began to get a little impatient - it is normal to distribute materials and read materials during meetings, the materials are long, and the speed at which everyone reads them is inconsistent, and it is nothing to wait for ten or eight minutes more, but like Hong Yuan, it is a bit excessive. People who know naturally understand that he is like this, and he is serious about everything, especially if he thinks it is good, then he is even more serious, but what about those who don't know? I thought that in the first high-level meeting after the establishment of the company, he would put on a face for the leaders!
However, it is still the same sentence, although it has been more than an hour of waiting, everyone has been waiting a little impatient-especially after reading the three materials in their hands, everyone is eager to hear what Mr. Qi, Mr. Li, and Cao Zhan have to say, and they can't wait to have an in-depth discussion on this animated film of the company, on this "Hulu Baby", at this time, because of the relationship between individual people, the meeting is always unable to walk, which naturally makes people feel a little impatient- But Li Qian sat there, but he still looked calm and relaxed, and everyone naturally didn't have a good idea to say anything.
Finally, Ma Yuan couldn't hold back and coughed.
Hong Yuan suddenly said, "Don't cough, you have to let people read it, right?"
Ma Yuan was startled, turned her head and glanced at Li Qian quickly, and then quickly lowered her head, secretly anxious in her heart - now it's okay, even if Uncle Hong didn't mean to show his face to the leader, just in this tone, he will definitely be buttoned up with a face!
However, what was a little surprising was that Li Qian just smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's okay, don't worry, when you're done, let's have another meeting! Everyone can watch it again, deepen their understanding, and diverge their ideas, and when we discuss it later, I hope everyone can express their opinions, and moreover, they must come up with their insights!"
As soon as he said this, many people opened the information again, and it seemed that they were about to look at it again, but at this time, Hong Yuan raised his head and glanced at Li Qian when he heard the words - Li Qian really looked calm and relaxed, but he didn't see any deliberately pretended calm appearance at all.
For a young man in his early twenties, this kind of qi cultivation kung fu is still very rare.
Moreover, for a young man who is already a world-famous star in his early twenties, it seems even more rare to have such a calm and pleasant face when facing his staff.
So, Hong Yuan didn't know what he thought, so he suddenly turned his hand and closed the information in his hand.
Although he still looked angry, he spoke a lot softer, "There is a little tail left, I still won't delay everyone's time, let's have a meeting first, and the remaining tail, I'll go back and see!"
Many people looked relieved, sat up straight, and prepared for the meeting.
But at this time, Li Qian smiled and said, "No, you can continue to watch, don't worry......! This meeting is different from the past, and it is very important!"
