Chapter 218: Thoughts on Animation
During the day, He Mu pretended to be an ordinary person to go to the film festival exhibition hall, he was most concerned about the international film screening link, many foreign films will not enter the domestic market, this may be the only opportunity for He Mu to see them, although the participation in the screening is mainly literary films, but it also allows He Mu to learn a lot of foreign advanced shooting techniques and film concepts, and it is very important for him to watch and think more about his future film path.
Like the previous International Television Festival, this year's International Film Festival is also very sluggish, and it is not appropriate to be extravagant after the earthquake, and after a simple opening, it is time for the awards.
He Mu wants to present the Special Jury Award of the Asian Newcomer Awards, which is an award outside the main competition unit, with four categories: Best Film, Best Director, Special Jury Award and Lifetime Achievement Award.
He Mu, who was wearing a special suit, awarded this award to Zhang Meng, the director of "Ears are Blessed", he used to be the sketch screenwriter of Uncle Benshan, "Ears are Blessed" is his directorial debut, although he has not seen this movie, but He Mu has always liked the actor Fan Wei, since parting ways with Uncle Benshan, Fan Wei has been actively developing in the film and television industry, and has also won the best actor at the Montreal International Film Festival, showing excellent acting talent, his sky is very big, and it should not be limited to sketches.
The main competition unit still adheres to the consistent tradition of the Golden Goblet Award, and there will definitely be at least one award from China, and this year's lucky Chinese film is "A Thousand Shots" directed by Gao Qunshu, which not only won the jury prize (second only to the best picture), but also won the actor crown Ma Guowei in the film. And he is not a professional actor, his identity is a policeman from Harbin, which is very rare at this international film festival.
From above. After the Haida Theater came out. He Mu received a call from Li Wenhua, this kid has been busy graduating recently, and the two have not been in touch for a while.
"Did you graduate?" He Mu opened his mouth and asked.
"It's almost there, it's just a little thing, and I should be able to leave school at the end of the month." Li Wenhua said, He Mu heard the deep attachment and reluctance from his tone, and he really didn't understand how Li Wenhua, who usually skips class and is as casual as eating, has such deep feelings for the university. He Mu, who didn't go to college, probably won't be able to understand it forever.
He Mu asked him what was the matter, and Li Wenhua said in a chattering voice: "I heard that you are not in the capital, can you come back at the end of the month?" ”
"I should be able to go back tomorrow." He Mu thought for a while and replied.
"Great!" Li Wenhua's tone was a few points higher. "Come to our school directly after you come back to look for me, I have something to do with you."
"I'm looking for you again, I'm looking for me again, what can't I say now." He Mu wondered.
Li Wenhua smiled. "Now that I've said that, how can I see you surprised. Let's talk about it after we get back, and we'll have to plan and discuss this matter carefully. ”
The more He Mu listened, the more confused he became, but Li Wenhua insisted on selling Guanzi, and He Mu, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't ask him, and promised to look for him immediately after going back, He Mu asked about Tiandi Media's acquisition of Red Sleeves and Fragrance.
During the time He Mu was not in the capital, the website acquisition case was basically over, listen to Li Wenhua's meaning. It seems that this time they have taken advantage again.
Although Shanda Group is financially powerful, Tiandi Media has taken a step earlier. And it has a close relationship with some of the shareholders of the red sleeves, although Shanda has acquired more shares, but Tiandi has also acquired some shares, and some shareholders of the red sleeves also hold some shares and have not let go.
Although Shanda has the most shares, it has not reached the controlling stake, but it has not reached the controlling stake, but the shares of Tiandi and the original shareholders have exceeded 50%, and they can lead Shanda's nose.
If Shanda wants to absorb the red sleeves into the Shanda literature that they are about to establish, they must achieve a controlling stake in the red sleeves and fragrance, but now the remaining old shareholders are very stubborn, even if Shanda has opened the price very high, but still refuses to sell, and the plan to dilute the other party's equity through a large amount of capital injection cannot pass the shareholders' meeting, so they have to hit the idea on Tiandi Media.
The current situation is that Shanda holds 43% of the shares of Red Sleeve Tianxiang, Tiandi Media holds 21%, and the original shareholders hold 36%, and Shanda hopes to acquire 10% of the shares of Red Sleeve Tianxiang in the hands of Tiandi Media to achieve control.
The shares of Red Sleeve Tianxiang in the hands of Tiandi Media were bought for 2.4 million, and the grand bid was 5 million, which means that Tiandi Media not only made a net profit of 2.6 million, but also held 11% of the shares of Red Sleeve Tianxiang, and also required that the website's novel publication should give priority to Tiandi Xuanhuang under the same conditions, which should also be written into the contract signed by the novel. Shanda will definitely inject capital in the future, and the shares in the hands of Tiandi Media will only be diluted less and less, but as long as there is this, Li Wenhua's purpose has basically reached more than half, after all, the company's business is still based on physical publishing, and the website is also for the source channel.
For the requirements of Tiandi Media, Shanda unconditionally agreed that physical publishing is an insignificant source of income for online literature websites, and Shanda, which has deep pockets, does not care at all, and after obtaining the controlling stake of Red Sleeve Tim Xiang, Shanda Literature based on the starting point Chinese Network, Jinjiang Original Literature and Red Sleeve Tim Fragrance Novel Network will be officially established, which also marks that online literature will usher in a period of rapid development.
After listening to Li Wenhua, He Mu could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and he didn't know if it was his luck or Li Wenhua's luck, why did they never lose money on their investment, and if they were too lucky, they would be jealous of God.
Sure enough, He Mu's idea came true, God was really jealous of him, on the plane flying from the magic capital to the capital, there was a "small problem" with the fuselage propeller, and the plane turned two heels in the sky, just when the flight attendant was about to take out the last words and letterheads, the plane returned to normal and soon landed at the Capital International Airport, and He Mu was far away from the grim reaper.
He Mu never said anything about this to anyone, because at the moment when the plane flipped over, he was scared, afraid of death, and very, very afraid, he felt that as a big man, it was very embarrassing to have this kind of emotion.
Afterwards, He Mu summed it up, the reason why he was afraid of death was because he had too many things that he was reluctant to give up, his film career had not officially started, his girlfriend had not yet become his wife, and he had not watched his children be born and grown...... With so many regrets, He Mu was reluctant to leave this world of flowers.
After walking out of the airport, He Mu dialed Zilin's phone as soon as possible, although he promised Li Wenhua to look for him as soon as he came back, but at this time, after a thrilling plane accident, what He Mu wanted to see most was his girlfriend, even if he couldn't see and listen to the voice.
Coincidentally, Zhang Zilin is in the capital today, listening to what she means seems to be working as a supervisor in the villa, at this time her mother is working at school, and He Mu's mother is also teasing her grandson at home, and He Mu has never cared about the progress of the house decoration since the first day, so Zhang Zilin had to go into battle in person.
"Wait, I'll go over with you." After hanging up the phone, He Mu asked Xiao Nan to take a taxi by himself, and he drove directly to the villa. After He Mu left, Guo Siyuan, who was holding a camera, came out of the dense crowd and smiled at Xiao Nan, "Do you want me to send you back?" ”
The progress of the house renovation is good, Zilin took He Mu to visit their bedroom and supporting bathroom, because there is no furniture in it, He Mu envisions putting a super big bed here and a super big bathtub there. He Mu is very demanding in everything, after all, Zilin is tall and has long legs, and it will be uncomfortable if he is not big.
But these words seemed to have become some kind of hint in Zilin's ears, she glanced at He Mu shyly, He Mu saw that there was no one left and right, so he hugged his girlfriend directly, stroked her palm on her back, and kissed her neck with her mouth, the beautiful white swan suddenly blushed, "There are still people outside." ”
"It's okay, it's closed." He Mu fell on Zilin's mouth after the most reluctance, and all the protests turned into endless tenderness.
"Boss, do you want to ...... here?"
Sure enough, the door was unreliable, a worker pushed the door and came in to find He Mu, and the two who were on the rise immediately separated, and the two of them inspected for a while, and roughly understood the progress of the decoration, and it is expected that they can add furniture to it next month.
After a candlelit dinner in the evening, He Mu suggested going to see the just-released "Kung Fu Panda", and Brother Cheng Long participated in the dubbing of one of the characters, so this is also another big-budget movie after he achieved a mainland box office result of 184 million in "The King of Kung Fu".
When it was decided to introduce "Kung Fu Panda", there were still some opposition voices in China, believing that this was Hollywood's shameless act of wrapping its own culture in a shell of Chinese culture and then using it to make money for Chinese, and it must be resolutely prohibited.
In fact, "Kung Fu Panda" is indeed a complete Hollywood cartoon in addition to those external things, and its core values are still Hollywood, but He Mu doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, kung fu and pandas, these two themes are not unique to a group or individual, anyone, including foreigners, has the right to shoot such themes, if we can think of combining these two elements as early as possible, and have the ability to make an excellent three-dimensional animation, Why should we watch Hollywood earn hundreds of millions of dollars at our box office.
The plot of "Kung Fu Panda" is a bit old-fashioned and patterned in He Mu's opinion, but it is full of jokes and wonderful fights, it is a masterpiece of entertainment, especially suitable for parents to watch with their children, such movies are usually not bad at the box office, there is no movie specially prepared for children in China, so foreign sophisticated cartoons have become their first choice, and a child can drive at least one parent to watch it.
Although he is watching movies, He Mu always can't help but think about the overall situation of the entire film industry, and now he thinks about how big a market can domestic cartoons have? Do you have the ability to resist when facing Hollywood animation? When will big companies like Hollywood's Pixar, DreamWorks, and Blue Sky appear in China? When will we be able to produce animated characters that are as deeply rooted in people's hearts as WALL-E and Shrek? (To be continued......)
