Chapter 468: Together
It turns out that Chen Guozhen is so unpopular in the studio, he is stubborn and self-serving, embezzling the company's assets, many people can't get used to what he does, but limited to the emotional dependence on the art studio, many people are reluctant to leave here, after all, there is a relatively secure salary here.
Niu San is like this, as a middle-aged man who is old and young, and has a wife in the middle, he is unwilling to risk leaving the art studio he loves and has dedicated to for more than 20 years. But after eavesdropping on the conversation of a few people today, especially Li Wenhua's words, Niu San deeply felt that his love for animation made him unwilling to spend time here anymore, and Director Chen's character of only recognizing money made Niu San feel hopeless, so he was desperate, so he also followed after He Mu Li Wenhua came out.
After understanding the situation, He Mu asked Niu San what animation production work he had participated in, and after hearing those names, He Mu and Li Pang glanced at each other, this person is available, He Mu does not have too professional animation talents in his hands, Ye Xuan They are at most technical talents, animation is not just as simple as technical skills.
He Mu gave Ye Xuan's phone number to Niu San, "If Teacher Niu is really interested, you can contact this person, Ye Xuan, you can come to the capital together then, and I will wait for you there." ”
There was no negotiation with the art studio, but He Mu had already determined that the first step of the animation studio would be to shoot "The First Chaos in History" first, and beat the company's fame out, "Hey, what do you say is the name of my new company?" On the way to the airport to send Li Wenhua, He Mu asked.
"Animation company, it's better to be simple and easy to remember. Since you and Ye Xuan created it together, it might as well be called Lotus Leaf. Li Pang suggested.
"Lotus Leaf Animation Studio, not bad." He Mu nodded. So in the future, it will be as famous as Hollywood animation companies such as DreamWorks, Pixar, and Blue Sky, and the animation company that leads domestic animation to catch up with the United States will determine its name so casually.
After sending Li Wenhua away, the next day, He Mu secretly stationed in the crew of "Love Love Apartment 2", He Mu is definitely the secret weapon of "Love Love Apartment 2", there is no him in the publicity so far, Tiger Wolf and Gaoge Culture are thinking about waiting until the TV series is promoted and then leaking the news out of the air.
If He Mu wasn't too busy before. Now he is busy, and he is acquiring Tudou.com, and he is forming lotus leaf animation. It is estimated that Jeff is also going to write from his side, and he may be going to the United States soon, so it is not bad to be able to finish filming his role in "Love Apartment 2" in one day.
Chen He, Sun Yizhou, Wang Chuanjun, and most of these drama students entered the magic capital to engage in drama performances after graduation, and many years of face-to-face stage performances with the audience made their performance skills solid. And it's very suitable for the TV drama mode of sitcom. Some exaggerated places can better express the core values of "Love Love Apartment", that is, youth, vitality, and publicity, and this is what this series is most popular with young people.
In the play with them, He Mu deeply felt the potential of this group of new artists in the world, and if he had the opportunity, he would not forget to bring it up.
The filming of "Love Love Apartment" is very similar to the classic sitcoms of "Wulin Gaiden", the script is always revised and improved during the shooting, so that the effect of filming is very different from that presented in the script, which is more conducive to the performance of the performers. Many of the classic phrases were created by the actors during the filming process.
Infected by them, He Mu also made a bold transformation and subversion of his role. For example, there was a scene that required him to play the guitar, but he couldn't, but He Mu asked them to find a guzheng, He Mu held the guzheng and played pop music, played very high, and also won everyone's praise, several actresses looked at He Mu with starlight in their eyes, playing the guitar has been rotten in these years, and it is only in style that you can play the guzheng.
In everyone's praise, He Mu smiled modestly, "People are mixed in the rivers and lakes, and there must be a few tricks to get a shot." He Mu's mastery of the guzheng was not very refined before, and he played a song "Drunken Fishing Singing Night" better, and later deepened his skills in this area, not only that, but he also studied more in-depth in traditional culture such as Chinese painting, calligraphy, Tai Chi, Peking Opera, etc., all of which were after filming "True Treasure".
Bidding farewell to the crew of "Love Love Apartment 2", He Mu and Wu Fa Wu Tian and others drove from the magic capital to the capital, although there are many things waiting for him to do in the capital, but he is still unwilling to give up the opportunity of this car trip, not only to experience the speed of Raventon, but also to reserve some living materials for himself, but unfortunately there is no spectacular scene of truck drag racing on the way, but there are also many commendable experiences, such as walkers hiking along the highway, beautiful women hitchhiking on the side of the road, There are also truck drivers who take their sons to run long distances, all of which are interesting and life-like, which makes the sparks in He Mu's mind collide fiercely.
After returning to Beijing, He Mu first had to find an office location for Lotus Leaf Animation, the newly established Lotus Leaf Animation is expected to employ nearly 100 employees, basically the same as the number of people in Shuimu Forest, although Shuimu's current office area is spacious, but it must not accommodate them, He Mu had to turn to the housing agency, they said to wait, about a month to reply to him, how can He Mu afford to wait, the most well-connected Xiao Fang solved He Mu's problem, three days later, Xiao Fang brought good news to He Mu.
"I have a friend, he has a seven-story building in his hand, although the boundary is a bit off, but the traffic is not congested, and it is cheap, I am ready to immigrate to the United States, I want to sell the house, and I still have forty-five years of property rights," Xiao Fang said, "This guy is rich, he doesn't care how much money is or how little money is, and even installment payments are acceptable." "The land of this building was granted in the name of education and culture, and the property rights were 50 years, and now it has been five years since it was built.
"Big brother, just kidding, where did I use a seven-story building." He Mudao, in fact, half a floor is almost enough, every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and a seven-story building is sky-high.
Xiao Fang waved his hand, "I didn't say that you would rent it alone, isn't there still me and Li Xiaopang." Xiao Fang snapped his fingers and calculated the account for He Mu, Shuimu Forest, Tiger Wolf Film and Television, Tiandi Media, and the potato network, lotus leaf animation, and banyan tree that are about to be integrated into them, although the seven floors are a bit luxurious, but the five or six floors can always be digested, and their company will definitely have room for development and growth in the future, and the seven floors are prepared.
In the past, He Mu and Xiao Fang's companies were together, Li Pang was far away from them, if what Xiao Fang said came true, their third brother would not look up in the future, and it would be more convenient to discuss something together, and the most important thing was that they would have a piece of land that really belonged to them and three acres for them to build freely.
"Does Li Pang agree? Is the floor we are renting now due? Also, do we have enough money? He Mu was full of doubts, this is not buying a car or a house, this is buying a building, which is a bit exaggerated and a little exciting.
"Yesterday I mentioned this to him first, he raised his hands to agree, and a month ago I asked him to help him contact the branch president of the investment bank, want to borrow 50 million to speed up the company's development process, as for the floor we rent now expires around the Spring Festival, there is still a month and a half, if you agree, the new building will start to decorate and move now, we can fully move in before the Spring Festival, and there is no need to renew the lease, as for the money, we should be able to afford 200 million." Xiao Fang said.
He also told He Mu that this building is outside the Fourth Ring Road, near the Dashiqiao, quite close to the ruins of the Old Summer Palace, and not very far from Tsinghua University and Peking University, of course, it must be farther away from the city center than where they are now. There is also the fact that this building covers a total area of 14,000 square meters, with a construction area of 12,000 square meters, and the seven-story building is no different from the new one, just a simple decoration can be stationed, they can pay 100 million first, and then pay 60 million after a year, and pay all after two years, Xiao Fang said that if He Mu is tight, he can pay a part of it first.
The asking price of 200 million yuan is completely because the owner of the building is in a hurry to get rid of it, and this price can be said to be quite favorable.
He Mu is very happy that Xiao Fang, who had no ambition before, is becoming more and more ambitious, and his hands and feet are becoming more and more open, Brother Fang and Li Pang have this kind of courage, what else can he be hypocritical, "Okay, that's it, Brother Fang, you can also help me contact the branch president of the investment bank, I want to borrow 50 million, the speed of spending money is too fast, I have no choice but to borrow chickens and lay eggs." ”
Shuimu Forest still has 50 million in his account, and there is no investment in movies for the time being, but Lotus Leaf Animation has to invest 18 million in the early stage, and it may have to invest 20 million, 30 million, or even more before it can produce benefits, and he is mentally prepared.
There is also Tudou.com, as one of the top video websites in China, if you want to win it, you have to have more than 100 million acquisition capital, even if the tiger and wolf are dominant, you don't need to share the three equally, but 30 million is always there, plus 100 million to pay in the first year of buying a building. Brother Fang means that the three families are evenly shared, the building is considered to be shared by the three families, and the building management department is established, and the rent will be paid to the building management department by the use company according to the use area, and the rent will be divided equally among He Mu, Li Wenhua and Xiao Fang to ensure relative fairness, so this is more than 30 million expenses.
30 million and 30 million, He Mu has no capital flow in his hands, and he still owes more than 20 million, in order not to be overstretched at the critical moment, and in order not to distribute the company's shares to venture capital funds for money, He Mu decided to borrow money from the bank, and the collateral is his 37% stake in Tiandi Media, and the value of these shares is far more than 50 million It should not be a problem.
