Chapter 75: Animation Conception
Zhang Fan turned his head and saw Gao Tingting smiling behind him, compared to the aggressive and cold temperament in the past, today is a little more gentle.
"I'm wondering why you're so pretty."
"Heh..."Gao Ting suddenly chuckled, although she knew that Zhang Fan was joking, she had an indescribable sweetness in her heart.
"Quite talkative. Why is your nose so red and on fire? β
"No, I got into a fight yesterday. was beaten up by the other party. Zhang Fan said with a smile.
While speaking, Ma Jianlong's phone called: "How about brother, the Liu family didn't say anything after reconciling with you, right?" β
"No, thank you, Brother Ma." Zhang Fan said.
"That's good." Ma Jianlong said: "Call me at any time if you have something, and if they want to come hard, then come hard." By the way, Zheng Lan hasn't been looking for you in the past two days, right? β
Lift.
"Zheng Lan?" Zhang Fan also wanted to ask about it, and said: "Two days ago, she called me to ask if I needed to invest. Brother Ma, what does she do? β
"She's going to invest in you?" Ma Jianlong was surprised when he heard this, but Chinese capital is an investment institution with a national background, and any investment is not carried out casually, especially for domestic enterprises.
Zhang Fan's company is still in the development stage, according to his understanding of Zheng Lan, even if she has a good impression of Zhang Fan, she will not take investment as child's play. Besides, he never mentioned Zhang Fan's company to Zheng Lan, how did Zheng Lan know?
Thinking of this, Ma Jianlong suddenly guessed something, and said excitedly: "Does my brother agree?" Zheng Lan is the leader of the national investment institution, and he is very powerful. She wants to invest in you, which means that someone is very optimistic about you, and I think that in the case of guaranteed equity, you can properly accept her investment. β
"National Investment Agency?" Zhang Fan was even more surprised, and glanced at Gao Tingting and said, "I didn't agree at the time, she left me a private phone number, saying that I need to find her again in the future." β
"Hmm." Ma Jianlong said with a smile: "My brother is really a newborn calf, and if the company encounters financial problems in the future, you can talk to her." Our company also has her investment. The benefits you will know later. β
"That's it, I still have a meeting."
"Okay, Brother Ma, go get busy." Zhang Fan said a few words briefly and then hung up the phone.
The elevator door opened, Gao Tingting still remembered the 'fight', and asked, "Who did you fight with?" Does your nose still hurt? β
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a little itchy." Zhang Fan rubbed it lightly.
"Don't move, I'll look at ......"
Gao Tingting turned her heel to block in front of him, held up Zhang Fan's chin and observed his nostrils, and under the light, the bridge of Zhang Fan's nose and the corner of her lips were connected, which made her have a desire to kiss.
"Are you alright?" Zhang Fan asked with a raised face.
"Hmm." Gao Tingting put away her thoughts and advised: "Don't rub it, you will still bleed if the nasal mucosa does not grow well." Don't eat spicy stuff these days. Because of what fights with people? β
"I don't see how much you know." Zhang Fan smiled slightly, and talked about yesterday's incident while walking into the company.
"Well played! Let me beat that rascal too! Gao Tingting clenched her fists after hearing this, and her little face was a little cute.
"Who is Sister Tingting going to beat? We didn't offend you. Wu Ge, the software director, stepped forward with a cup of coffee, and many people around him also joked.
Less than a week after the implementation of the 'no working hours' system, these hardware and software designers have adapted to this model, making their work easier and faster.
β¦β¦
After some small talk, Xinghuo and Weixin employees arrived one after another, and within a few minutes, the spacious studio became a teahouse, and more than 100 people formed their own team circles in groups of three or five, discussing today's work while eating morning tea.
Approaching 8 o'clock, Zhao Chunlei and his wife came to Xinghuo with the blood-tonifying soup they had made in the morning.
Today, the two of them are here to investigate the dietary tastes of employees, and they will provide breakfast and dinner from next week.
"Xiaofan, are you feeling better today? Auntie made you a pot of pork rib soup, which is very replenishing. Mrs. Zhao warmly held Zhang Fan, and Zhao Chunlei looked around curiously.
His concept of the company is still stuck in the model of state-owned enterprises in the past.
Zhao Chunlei whispered: "Xiaofan, your leaders and employees are all working together? β
"Hmm." Zhang Fan took the pork rib soup handed by Aunt Zhao and said, "In this way, everyone can communicate faster and more efficiently." β
"Everyone, this is Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao. In the future, they will be responsible for the company's meals, and you can mention to your uncles and aunts what you like to eat and what flavors you like. β
"Uncle Zhao is good, Aunt Zhao is so ......"
After Zhang Fan finished speaking, the company's employees said hello one after another, and in the face of these sunny and energetic Spark employees, the Zhao family was deeply infected, and they mingled with them after a while.
After breakfast with morning tea, Zhao Chunlei and his wife left with notes and recipes, and Zhang Fan called Feng Hong and other managers to have a morning meeting in the office.
Chairman's Office.
After sitting down, Zhou Yang smiled: "Doesn't your nose hurt now, right?" I see that you will go to the hospital to take medicine later, there is Sister Hong here, and I will leave it to me on WeChat. β
"Afternoon." Zhang Fan restrained himself from rubbing his nose, opened the window and said, "I don't know if everyone knows anything about Haier Group?" β
"Haier ......" is no stranger to this brand Chinese people, and everyone looked at Zhang Fan and didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Haier Group.
"Boss, you're not going to make a refrigerator with Haier, are you?" Zhou Yang joked.
"It's not possible now, maybe it won't be in the future." Zhang Fan has a set of smart home appliances in his mind, and he may find a powerful home appliance company to cooperate in the future.
He picked up the teacup and said: "I believe everyone is no stranger to Haier, especially Li Li, Zhou Yang, and Wu Ge, our generation, all grew up watching cartoons such as "Haier Brothers", "Hulu Baby", and "Machine QΓ¬ Cat". β
"Hmm." Li Li nodded and said: "I still remember Haier's theme song: why thunder and rain, why there is winter and summer, there are thousands of mysteries that I don't know, and wisdom is simple and not simple......"
"Hehe..." heard Li Li humming, and there was a burst of laughter in the office.
Li Jianguo said with a smile: "I remember that when my child was born, he always cried, and my wife sang this song every day to coax him. β
"Haha......" laughed again.
Zhou Yang said with a smile: "I loved to watch "Haier Brothers" at the time, and the little knowledge in it was very interesting. At that time, I was stupid to think that Haier refrigerators were made by wise old men. β
"Boss, why are you talking about this all of a sudden? And what is the conspiracy? β
Everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Fan, and when they saw him, they took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I want to learn Haier's brand marketing model, and also use a cartoon to promote our Spark." What do you guys think? β
Suddenly, the surrounding management eyes brightened.
"Absolutely!" Zhou Yang said excitedly: "Yesterday, I also discussed with Sister Hong and Tingting whether to design a corporate image character for the company, just like the Olympic Fuwa, I can't imagine that the boss thinks more comprehensively!" β
"Is the boss going to start his own company, or is he looking for someone to work with?"
"It's very troublesome to start a company, it's better to hire someone to make zuΓ² directly, and you can have the copyright in hand." As he spoke, Zhang Fan looked at Feng Hong and the others.
Feng Hong agreed: "I agree with the boss's advice, this is much better than just advertising, and if the animation is done well, it can make extra money, if it can be made into a classic, maybe it will affect a generation like "Haier Brothers"." β
"I think it's very feasible too." Gao Le in the marketing department is a fan of American comics, and when he heard Zhang Fan's plan, he immediately became excited: "Boss, what kind of animation do you plan to launch?" It's best for me to make animations like Marvel superheroes and Batman Superman, starting with comics, and then you can develop the copyright after it becomes popular! It can also be made into a movie! β
The more he talked, the more excited he became, Gao Le said excitedly: "Also, we can also implant the company logo into the comic and anime, which is more acceptable than any advertisement!" The logo on the superhero clothes uses our company LOGO, they are called Batman, we call it Sparkle......"
"Starfire is too ugly, isn't it?" Li Li interrupted Gao Le's train of thought and said: "American comics are not as good as Japanese comics, you see how hot One Piece and Hokage are now." I think I can work with a Japanese manga company. β
"Japanese manga is too restrictive." Gao Le retorted: "Spider-Man and Iron Man can be made into a movie, can you make a movie in One Piece?" I think that when investing in anime, we should consider the direction of the public! β
"What is Volkswagen Direction?" Li Li snorted coldly: "Then why don't you see that your 'heroes' are popular in China, in addition to movies, how many people watch those comics and animations in the United States?" The boss mentioned animation, and I think the Japanese anime form is more suitable for promotion! β
"You ......" Gao Le was about to retort again, Zhang Fan looked at the more stable Li Jianguo and Ji Jianguo and said, "Brother Li, what do you think?" β
Li Jianguo pondered: "Boss, this building is very good. On the one hand, the company can be promoted, and on the other hand, it can be profitable. Just now, Xiaoli and Xiaolejian are good, but they are not very suitable for promotion in China. β
"If our company invests in animation, I think we can consider children's animations like "Haier Brothers", "Xi Yangyang", and "Blue Cat", "Xi Yangyang" is very good, my kid is still watching it now, and adults also find it interesting to watch it."
"Hmm." Zhang Fan nodded.
Li Jianguo's three people have their own merits, and he didn't know who he favored for a while, so he said with a flash of inspiration: "Then can you combine the three?" β
"Three combinations?" Everyone looked at Zhang Fan at the same time.
Zhang Fan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes." Find a Japanese to make a hero theme of American comics, and move closer to the domestic standard in terms of animation content. In this way, Japanese comic lovers can accept it in terms of painting style, and the publishing and radio and television bureaus can be satisfied in terms of scale, and the hero theme is suitable for film animation adaptation. Wouldn't that be the best of all three worlds? β
"Hahaha......" Zhou Yang clapped his hands and smiled: "The boss is the boss, this theme is absolutely novel!" β
"I also think the boss's idea is completely feasible." Wu Ge said: "Transformers is also a Japanese comic, and later it went to the European and American markets, and it was very successful. In 06, it was adapted into a movie and earned $700 million. β
"I think our company can also produce a machine-themed animation similar to "Transformers"."
"Not bad!" Zhang Fan said energetically: "Wu Ge's construction is the same as I thought. When I came, I thought about a machine qΓ¬ hero theme animation. β
As he spoke, he told everyone about the general storyline of "Super Marines" that he heard on the radio.
β¦β¦
"Super Marines" is set in a futuristic world, a city where Eastern and Western cultures meet. The protagonist is a technologically savvy teenager who, by chance, discovers that the city is experiencing a crime crisis.
In order to save his homeland, he and his partner inflator Qì Renbai and a group of rookie teams with different personalities form the 'Super Marine Alliance' to fight crime together.
This anime almost satisfies the tastes of both Eastern and Western demographics in terms of setting! The combination of sci-fi and mechanical action makes animation a great fit for film adaptations. Juvenile heroism and companionship are also soft and beautiful and Japanese.
And from the perspective of storytelling, there is a lot of positive energy, and there will not be much obstacle to domestic publication and release.
"What do you think?"
"Boss, can I say you're a genius?" Feng Hong asked with a smile. She didn't say this as a compliment, but as a genuine admiration, and the animation was conceived to completely integrate the three elements just mentioned.
"Yes, boss, it's a loss for your brain not to be a screenwriter. I also have a JianyΓ¬. β
As he spoke, Zhou Yang excitedly took out his cigarettes and distributed them to everyone: "You said that the background is a city that combines East and West, I think it is simply set in Xiangjiang!" The city of Xiangjiang itself has international, technological and other colors, and some gangsters are set up in the plot and don't feel like a drama. They themselves have Tricky Boys. β
"If you choose China, I'm afraid that the protagonist must first join the Young Pioneers and lead the three bars before he can pass the guΓ² review. It's not suitable for a foreign country. After all, we Chinese people invest in animation, why do we have to promote the motherland by the way, right? β
"Brother Yang is right!" Li Li was the first to support.
Everyone nodded one after another, and the office was completely active at this time, and Zhang Fan expanded and upgraded the discussion at noon, and discussed the animation theme with more than 100 employees of Xinghuo and Weixin.
