Li Zhifan nested at home for a whole week and produced 15 episodes of "Peppa Pig", which is almost two episodes a day, this speed is a shocking move in the entire animation industry, even if it is a large animation team, it is impossible to make 15 episodes in a week, because in the production of a single episode, it takes a long time from content selection to various meetings and discussions.

Only the existence of Li Zhifan, who has opened the plug-in, can have this kind of efficiency.

Another reason is that someone is urging behind, and that is the little cherry.

She watched the first episode for three whole days, but after watching too much, she was eager for new stories, and asked Li Zhifan every hour if there was a second season!

It's a pity that although Li Zhifan has made a few episodes, there is no dubbing and soundtrack, in a hurry, Li Zhifan got all the dubbing by himself, and then used the tuning software to change his voice, which barely fooled the little cherry.

A new week.

Li Zhifan appeared in the Dream Factory again.

In the past few days when he didn't come, "Dream Travel" has been in stable production, and now two-thirds of the production has been done in the early stage, and most of the problems have been worked, and even the production team has made several trips to Mexico, filmed a few documentaries and came back, extracting material from it.

After the meeting on the side of "Dream Travel", Li Zhifan immediately found Sylvo and asked him to contact several professional voice actors, and there was a job that needed them to dub a voice.

Srev looked at Li Zhifan in a daze: "Dubbing?

"I made a little video of myself to show my daughter!"

Li Zhifan smiled and didn't explain, "Anyway, it's good if you help me find someone, two women and two men!"

"Okay!"

Svo immediately called, and it happened that DreamWorks had an animated film in the finishing stages, and the voice actors had already moved in, so it would be nice to keep them busy.

But by the time they came, it was already afternoon.

"It's ...... Cartoons?"

Several of the voice actors were amazed and found it incredible.

This type of cartoon, they have not never seen it, but it was all done by TV stations in ancient times, especially the BBC in the United Kingdom, which often made this type of cartoon, and then the power of science and technology rose, and the quality of cartoons became higher and higher, and this type of cartoon disappeared from the market, and no one did it anymore.

"This is for my daughter!"

Li Zhifan explained to several voice actors, "I also hope that everyone will do me a favor, and I will double the salary for everyone." ”

"Double?"

The faces of the four voice actors changed instantly, and all doubts and doubts disappeared in exchange for surprise and snickering.

Although they are all behind the scenes, voice actors get less money than sound recording engineers, and they certainly can't ask for a chance to earn double their salaries.

So he immediately agreed to Li Zhifan very happily.

And these fifteen episodes of animation are even easier for them, and they don't need to figure out the characters' minds like those big movies, as long as they read it out with normal dialogue.

An hour and a half later, the four of them completed the recording of the fifteen episodes, and Li Zhifan paid them wages on the spot, and they were paid double as promised.

"Thank you so much, my friend!

One of the voice actors took the money and gave Li Zhifan a hug, and in his eyes, Li Zhifan has been equated with the local tycoon, and has the title of "rich Chinese".

"Of course!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "That's it, leave me the phone numbers of the four of you, and if I have other dubbing needs later, I will look for you!"

"Oh my God, that's great!"

"I'll give you a number, my name is Martha!"

"My name is Jerry, dude, it's been a pleasure working together today!"

All four of them left their phone numbers, and they also hoped that Li Zhifan would be able to contact them again.

Although these four people are looking for them temporarily, they are likely to become regular partners in the future, after all, "Peppa Pig" has several seasons.

After finishing these, Li Zhifan took the film back to the production room of "Dream Travel", plugged in a USB flash drive in front of his computer, and took out the fifteen episodes of "Peppa Pig" with a good voice and played them episode by episode, looking for other loopholes.

At this time, a staff member passed by and glanced at it, and happened to see "Peppa Pig" playing on Li Zhifan's computer screen, and walked over in surprise and asked, "Oh! Li, do you still watch this kind of cartoon?"

"Ang!" Li Zhifan smiled and didn't respond positively, "How about this animation?"

"Uh...... Hehe!" The staff smiled awkwardly, he thought Li Zhifan liked to watch it, so he said, "Well, it's very rudimentary animation production, but children definitely like it, Li, are you going to show it to your daughter?"

"Yes!" Li Zhifan said, "she especially likes this kind of cartoon." ”

"It's normal, kids!"

The staff said, "This kind of stick figure cartoon is the simplest, and our professional painters can draw it with their feet." ”

As soon as he said this, Li Zhifan was embarrassed, looked back at him, and said meaningfully: "This is what I painted!"

"Oh?ah!?"

The staff was stunned, their tongues were knotted, and they said, "No, no, no! I didn't mean that, this animation is really well drawn, I mean, stick figures don't look simple, but it's not easy to draw well." ”

"I'm a beginner, and I've been working every day for the past few days, so I've learned to draw such an animation!"

Li Zhifan said lightly, "My own level, I know!"

"No, no! Lee, I didn't mean that!"

The more the staff explained, the more panicked they became, what he said was from his heart, but it was too inappropriate, even if he didn't say that Li Zhifan was their boss, just saying that Li Zhifan, a beginner, could draw like this, he should be encouraged, and even performed.

What's more, everyone here knows Li Zhifan's ability in animation, before he came, it was zero at all, and the sketches he drew casually for everyone in actual operation were also miserable, and now they can have this achievement, they are more admired than despised in their hearts.

"Alright, don't be nervous!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand, "Go! I'll watch it alone for a while!"

"Uh-huh!"

The staff quickly nodded and left.

As a result, this afternoon, the hour spread throughout the production team, and the production crew lined up to shoot Li Zhifan's sycophants and compliment his paintings.

even alarmed Sylvo, who came down to watch Li Zhifan's masterpiece in person and gave him a thumbs up.

Now that Sylvo is here, Li Zhifan has something to talk to him about, so he asked, "Can you help me find a TV station to broadcast these cartoons?"

"Huh?"

Sylvo has been the president of DreamWorks for so many years, and all the TV stations in the United States are their partners, begging to come to them and want to work with them on cartoons, or want them to make a cartoon series, and then buy it.

But Li Zhifan's cartoon, Sylvo felt that it was a little difficult to sell it.

In a capitalist society like the United States, this kind of cartoon that you know is not profitable at a glance, even if it is produced by the famous Dream Factory, I'm afraid no one will buy it, right?

But Svrau agreed: "Okay, I'll ask for you, but the price may not be too high." ”

"It's okay!" Li Zhifan said, "I don't care about money, as long as there is a place to broadcast it, it's fine!"

When Srevh heard this, he said, "Well, I'll introduce you to a couple of publishers who have a high global presence and a strong channel, and they will give you more good advice, what do you think?"

"Oh?"

Li Zhifan thought for a while, "They won't let me go back to China to play it after they finish watching it, right?"

"I don't know, maybe it's possible!"

Sevo said, "But with your influence and connections in China, I'm afraid that many manufacturers are rushing to buy such cartoons, right?"

"No! I'm going to broadcast it directly on foreign TV stations!"

Li Zhifan shook his head, "As for the Chinese market, I'll talk about it later." ”

When Srevo heard this, he thought to himself: You kid really has an idea, this is obviously trying to pit foreign TV station money!

Since Sylvo agreed to introduce a distributor to Li Zhifan, he didn't care about this part anymore, and hurried back to continue to produce the following content, but there were 52 episodes in the first season, and after all of them were produced, he directly took them and sold them together.

However, in the production of this part, there is no need for Li Zhifan to do it himself, there are many production teams in the Dream Factory, and there are even more idle and newcomers who have just entered the industry.

At the same time, Li Zhifan also plans to set up a studio in the United States, specializing in all things related to "Peppa Pig" to prepare for future promotion and publicity.

……

Three days later, Li Zhifan met with the publisher introduced by Sylvo.

Distributors are not artists, they don't comment on the content of the work, they only comment on the value of the work, and they have all sorts of ways to sell a film.

So even if it's a big bad movie, it can be realized in the hands of the distributor, it's just a matter of making more and making less.

Those who are destined to make less money, they have different strategies, and those who are destined to make big profits, they may also participate in shares.

The publisher's representative, Simon, is a Jewish distributor who owns four distribution companies, two advertising agencies, and an investment company.

If he is optimistic about the film, he will use an investment company to invest, and he will also buy the advertising space of the film, and use the advertising company to make money from advertising, and the distribution can also be distributed by four distribution companies in different parts of the world.

watched "Peppa Pig", Simon didn't have any desire to invest, in his opinion, this is a very rough and perfunctory work, compared to many bad movies he has watched, this "Peppa Pig" is not as good.

But with his professionalism and the attractive price offered by Li Zhifan, he still took over the distribution of this animated series.

"Li, I suggest that you can put ten episodes on the Internet first, you know Youguan Internet Cafe! That's the world's largest video website, after the release, I can help you operate to increase popularity, and even contact the official to buy a recommendation for you, as for the TV station, I will contact the Canadian CBC, the British BBC, the United States ABC and C, these TV stations are federally operated TV stations, they may be interested in your animation, if there is a certain popularity and clicks on the Internet, it can increase our bargaining chips. ”

Simon said a lot in one breath, he is a person with a fast brain, and immediately formulated this set of plans for Li Zhifan.

The CBC, BBC, ABC and C he talks about are all partners he has worked with all year round, and they are all English-language TV stations, and they also have connections in internal film purchases, so as long as the price is reasonable, they can be sold.

As for other commercial TV stations, although Simon can also do it, he is worried that he will be rejected by the other party, so he does not mention it here, the translation and production of different languages in other countries is even more long-term, and Simon does not think that "Peppa Pig" can be widely watched and thus attracted by non-English-speaking countries.

Li Zhifan is not in a hurry, take his time step by step, as long as the popularity accumulates, isn't this film rushed?

"Okay!" Li Zhifan got up and shook Simon's hand and said, "Just follow this plan, I'll go back to the network for publishing." ”

"OK!" Simon asked again, "Lee, how many episodes are you going to do?"

"52 episodes!"

Li Zhifan said, "Each episode is five minutes, it won't be too long!"

"52 episodes?"

Simon frowned, each episode is only five minutes, which adds up to 260 minutes? Isn't it a waste to split it into 52 episodes?

However, he didn't say much, in terms of production and content, he never talked much about distribution, so his expression changed, and he smiled: "Okay, then you hurry up here, what if you sell it tomorrow?"

"That couldn't be better!"

Li Zhifan also smiled.

The newly established studio, called "Peppa Culture Studio", has only recruited four people, all in the role of assistants and linemen, and the team recruited from within DreamWorks has also been assembled and put into the production of the remaining 40 episodes of "Peppa Pig".

Li Zhifan is a person who wants to do it when he thinks of it, and he does it quickly, in just three days, he has done so many things, and the people around him feel very terrible.

Especially Sylvo, Li Zhifan's work efficiency is like a robot in his opinion, if the Dream Factory is all people like Li Zhifan working, I am afraid that it is ten times better than the current Dream Factory.

After coming out of the dream factory, Li Zhifan immediately called the studio to arrange a new job.

The four assistants had just started their second day on the job, and they didn't know what they were going to do in the newly established studio, except that they were paid a lot of money.

Li Zhifan proposed several tasks:

The first is to immediately register the copyright of "Peppa Pig", and he will send the information to the studio's mailbox.

The second is to start posting animated videos of the first ten episodes on Youguan.com, and then communicate with Simon's side.

As for the third, it is to find a big-name law firm to cooperate in things, because next, there will be a lot of contracts to be signed, that is, Youguan.com, you also have to sign a copyright ownership contract, you must read it carefully.
