"What? Make a 3D animated movie?"

When he received Li Fanyu's call, Ma Rao, who was in the United States, had just gotten up. Recently, he is planning the filming of "Hurricane Rescue 2". However, because of "Hurricane Rescue", Liam Neeson, who has become popular and has a second spring in his career, has not yet set a filming date.

Hearing Li Fanyu say that he wanted to shoot an anime movie, the Chinese director who had already created a style in Hollywood was a little confused.

"It's a big challenge," Ma Rao told the truth.

He understands animation movies, in fact, as a leading director in China, he has also been exposed to 3D special effects production and the like many times in the production of some big scenes. But as a traditional director, he still feels a little empty when he thinks of not facing actors, no camera, and only directing in front of the computer.

"No, I won't be able to do it this time, why don't you ask SOI to find another director?"

Li Fanyu was very relaxed, "Don't worry, Director Ma, in fact, it's all the same." If you think about it, wouldn't there be more freedom to make a movie without actors only facing 3D models? ”

Ma Raohe is not a layman, of course, it is impossible for Li Fanyu to have such a good mentality and think so simply.

"It's easy for you to say! 3D film production is a lot of manpower and money, and I don't have any experience in making this kind of film. Don't say how much you spend, but how good the effect of the arrangement can be. Don't talk nonsense, I won't take this job, you can ask for another master. At most, I will supervise you as a producer, and I have experience in making feature films, so I can grasp the rhythm for you, but I really don't dare to do the specific guidance. It's not that my brother won't give you face, it's for you to know better."

Ma Rao refused very simply.

Li Fanyu had no choice but to hang up the phone depressedly. It's not that he doesn't want to find a professional, it's just that there are no professionals in this area on hand right now.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone and called Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu was also abroad, and seemed to be still sleeping when she received Li Fanyu's call: "Hey, why did you call so early." ”

When Li Fanyu said in a depressed way that he wanted to shoot a 3D animated movie, Zhou Qingyu over there pursed his lips and smiled.

"You, how can you toss so much. If I don't see you for a few days, I'm sure I'll have to make some kind of moth. But Ma Dao can't do this job, what's the use of you looking for me. You are an animated movie, I can't direct it, and I can't act in it. ”

"Isn't this trying to make you think of a way?" Li Fan was stupid, things deviated from the plan, it was really a dog.

"Hmm," Hearing Li Fanyu say this, Zhou on the other side of the phone whispered softly. This was followed by the sound of a waking up and the curtains being pulled.

"Well, I'm studying at an Academy of Fine Arts in Paris. Not far away is a film school, and there are many students in the class who are engaged in fine art film production. I'll ask you in a moment and see if they have any resources. ”

"Alright, I'll let SOI find another team in this area. You can also help ask over there, money is definitely not an issue. Li Fanyu emphasized.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Qingyu hung up the phone.

Li Fanyu immediately called Donner Williams, the head of SOI Film and Television Company, and conveyed that he wanted to prepare for the shooting of a 3D animation movie, and asked him to find a production team and director.

I got the instructions and went to raise it right away. Li Fanyu's side threw himself into the I8 affair again.

In the free time in research and development, he was not idle, and checked the domestic talents in this area on the Internet.

But what disappointed him was that the domestic producers were basically the kind of players like Xi Lang Lang and Gray Taiyang, Xiong Lai, or Pig Lamb who consumed young fans.

There are really few of them.

Searching for the results of domestic animation films, most of them are the kind of works that are rough in production and have empty plots. The only ones that are more eye-catching are the two sci-fi short films that are relatively popular on station B.

These two short videos were released by an UP master named QAQ. It is said to be this person's self-made work, and it seems to be a little simple in production, but the plot and pictures show unbridled imagination and very high plot arrangement ability.

At that time, Li Fanyu contacted many parties, but did not get a response from this UP master.

SOI belongs to Zhengxin America, and Mason is a typical American leader who pursues high efficiency in everything.

Within two days, SOI sent a reply.

It was still Donner Williams who called to report: "Oh, the boss, the production team of the animated film is not a problem, as long as you have the money, it is not difficult to get it." But the animation director ...... But it's not easy. ”

"What?" Hearing the answer from the other side, Li Fan hurriedly asked.

"3D animation has become very popular in recent years, and directors who have made good works are the sweethearts of various companies. Moreover, in the area of 3D animated films, big companies like Pixar, Disney, and Universal are the places where directors realize their ambitions. Therefore, directors who are a little famous have signed long-term contracts with the company. And those who are particularly famous, not to mention, the few are the royal directors of the above three companies, and it is not a matter of money that can be dug up. In a word, it is rare for the team to be a good director. That's the case. ”

Hearing this news, Li Fanyu Zhen'er really had a feeling of being dog-stricken.

TMD！

Is there a problem that money can't solve?

"You just say, how much does it cost to recruit a good director for me. He directly incarnated as a domineering president, said.

"Well, if you have to use money...... Maybe $50 million plus a share of the box office?"

"That's okay!" Li Fanyu waved his hand, "This thing is like this first, and then I'll think of a way." ”

Million?

Dollar?

A director?

MMP！

Nima went to learn directing!

It's worth a lot of money!

Putting down the phone, Li Fanyu was still shocked by the number Donner said, he vaguely remembered that in the previous time and space, the production cost of "Super Marines" was only 130 million.

$50 million, plus a share of the box office. Wouldn't that take up half of the film's production costs? He could afford it, but if the input and output were not proportional, the deal would not be cost-effective.

After being depressed all night, when it was almost time to go to bed, he received a call from Zhou Qingyu.

"I've been asking a lot in the past two days, and you've finally found a few people. These people are not very senior, but their abilities seem to be good. ”

As soon as he heard that his qualifications were not very deep, Li Fanyu instantly lost interest.

Zhou Qingyu over there heard that he didn't speak, so he smiled and said, "Anyway, my task is completed." I thought these people were coming to their previous works, and they have been sent to your mailbox. If you're interested, take a look. ”

After hanging up Zhou Qingyu's phone, Li Fan turned on the computer boredly and logged in to the mailbox. Download the oversized attachments in the latest email.

When he saw the second copy, he was stunned.

Nest

Isn't that the work of some kind of QAQ!

He immediately picked up the phone and called Zhou Qingyu, "Qingyu, the second work you sent, that person is in your school?"

Zhou on the other side of the phone smiled softly, "Ah, you said Qiao Ai, right?"

Li Fanyu hurriedly flipped through the email, and saw that the name on the attachment said "Qiao Ai's work", and immediately said: "That's right! It's Qiao Ai!"

"Hehe, I knew you were going to be interested in that kid. ”

"Karma?" Li Fan was dumbfounded, "Child?"

"yes. Child. The youngest student in this class of the Academy of Fine Arts, oh, is only nineteen years old this year, "

"Forehead ......"

Li Fan was dumbfounded - master...... Met a child prodigy?
