Chapter 324: You Lack a Good Story

1. "Since there is no welcome ceremony, let's go about our own business." Yang Yang smiled and asked, "Who is the supervisor?"

Ou Chengren hurriedly stood up: "I am." ”

"Hmm. Yang Yang nodded, took Guoguo's hand and walked to the office, and Ou Chengren hurriedly followed.

Yang Yang looked at the office that was not spacious, there was not much furniture, and there were a large number of drawings on the table, which looked a little messy.

"I haven't had time to clean up yet. Ou Chengren embarrassedly explained that this was his office, and he usually spent the night here at least three days a week.

Yang Yang smiled and didn't say anything, but sat down on the coffee table and left the main seat to Ou Chengren.

Of course, Ou Chengren would not be so blind, and sat opposite Yang Yang.

"Tell us about the composition of the studio. Yang Yangchong District Chengren smiled gently, "I have a dark eye for the animation industry." ”

Ou Chengren thought for a moment and said: "At present, the 'Visual Light and Shadow Animation Studio' has a total of one planner, seven people in the early stage of animation, including character designers, mechanical design stylists, animation background designers, color designers, etc., eight people in the middle of animation, including composition, original painting, animators, colorists, special effects personnel and photographers, and six people in the later stage of animation, including editors, dubbing, music and sound effects synthesis, publicity and distribution, etc. Among them, I am mainly responsible for animation director, storyboarding, scripting, etc... There are also several voice actors who specialize in dubbing anime, but it's just a partnership, not a member of the studio. ”

Yang Yang nodded thoughtfully and sighed: "The overall framework structure is still very complete and plump." ”

"Yes. Au Chengren's expression was tinged with pride, "It took me ten years to do this. ”

Yang Yang smiled: "But as far as I know, except for one animated series, the three animated films launched by 'Visual Light and Shadow' in the past two years have not achieved good results, right?"

Ou Chengren lowered his head, his pride disappeared, and he couldn't refute Yang Yang's words. If it weren't for the "visual light and shadow" that planted a big heel in the animated movie, the current position of the boss would not be Yang Yang's turn to sit.

Yang Yang saw Ou Chengren's frustration, and opened the topic very understandingly, "I just saw you getting together as if you were in a meeting, if you don't mind, can you tell me about the content of the meeting?"

Ou Chengren looked up at Yang Yang, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's everyone who is worried about their jobs." ”

"Oh. Yang Yang understood, suddenly changed his boss, and of course the old employees had to worry about being fired.

Yang Yang continued: "You can tell them about this, I bought 'Visual Light and Shadow' to save trouble." I'm a layman, I don't know anything, and you will be responsible for the specific operation of the studio in the future..."

Ou Chengren's eyes lit up with surprise: "Really?"

"Of course. Yang Yang replied as a matter of course: "I'm not the kind of stupid boss who doesn't understand and likes to command blindly, but..."

"But the direction of the studio's work is up to me. ”

Ou Chengren nodded, "That's how it should be." ”

He doesn't care which direction the studio is heading, as long as it doesn't break up. Now that Yang Yang is the boss, he tosses as much as he wants, and if he loses it, it will be his own money.

After explaining everything clearly, Yang Yang was ready to show his true intentions next.

"My main reason for buying Visual Light was to make an animated film... Well, if the reflection is okay, it should be more in the future. ”

Ou Chengren was stunned for a moment, and then said after deliberation: "There is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not. Animated Films.. You may not be very good at visual light and shadow."

"Nope. Yang Yang shook his head, looked directly into Ou Chengren's eyes and said, "You just lack a good script and a good story." ”

Yang Yang has seen several animated films jointly produced by Visual Light and Shadow and different film and television companies, including the "Cute Mouse Adventure" that he accompanied Guoguo to watch before.

Overall, the picture, music, and production are all excellent, and the story is decent, but the box office is bleak and abnormal.

Why? Because the audience is too small.

It can't be said that the audience is small, after all, there are too many children who like to watch animation, and how high are the requirements of children, as long as it is fun and interesting to make them laugh.

The problem is that animated films are not just for children, but also for children's parents. You must know that children do not have any financial resources, and the people who pay for movie tickets are parents.

A successful animated film should not only be enjoyed by children, but also found attractive by adults.

Visual light and shadow fail at this step, and a decent animated movie is not enough to make adults willing to pay dozens of dollars to take children to the cinema.

But Yang Yang can, "The Little Prince" can.

Maybe many people don't know that Yang Yang now has a title that only circulates in a part of the population - "Father of Modern Fairy Tales" in addition to the titles of "Super Popular Idol Actor", "King Pop Singer", and "Well-known New Director".

It's a frightening name, but publishers have printed it on the author's biographies of The Little Prince, Snow White, and Cinderella, and no one has questioned it.

So far, the total number of published copies of the three fairy tale books under Yang Yang's name has exceeded 20 million in China, and the global sales have exceeded 60 million copies.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best-selling children's book of this century.

This has allowed Yang Yang to accumulate a large number of children and parent fans, perhaps the children do not know who is the author of the beautiful fairy tales that accompany them to sleep every night, such as "The Little Prince" and "Snow White". But they know The Little Prince, they know Snow White, they know Cinderella, and that's enough.

Yang Yang is sure that as long as any of these fairy tales are put on the big screen, it is undoubtedly the deadliest temptation for children, and parents who buy books and read stories to their children will definitely not be stingy with that little money to take their children to the theater to experience a dream journey.

Someone once approached Yang Yang to buy the adaptation rights of several fairy tales, but Yang Yang refused, he always knew in his heart the huge wealth contained in these thin books. As everyone knows, the Disney Animated Film Studio in the previous life relied on these stories over and over again without knowing how much money it made, and even became a behemoth with a market value of more than $150 billion.

Yang Yang didn't have time to tap the potential before, but now he has a whim, of course, he can't waste it.

"I wonder if Mr. Ou has any children?" Yang Yang suddenly asked a question that seemed completely irrelevant to the conversation.

Ou Chengren was stunned for a moment, and nodded subconsciously.

Yang Yang pointed to a fairy tale in Guoguo's hand, and asked with a smile, "I don't know if Mr. Ou has bought this book for your child?"

Ou Chengren followed Yang Yang's finger and looked, and the three words "The Little Prince" jumped into his eyes.

He immediately understood.
