Chapter 20: The Kirin

After the regular meeting on Monday, Huo Que returned to his office, and now he is the only boss of the company, so this company is also his child like his movie, so the name of the child cannot be sloppy.

But what kind of name?

Huo Que sat on the comfortable swivel chair and kept shaking the chair, but his mind kept thinking.

Company names generally have a certain meaning, and many of them are meant to be a good omen.

After thinking about it, Huo Que decided to give the film company a name with a strong Chinese style.

Although today's China is among the best in the world in terms of economic and military strength, every Chinese knows that in Western countries, Chinese people are more severely discriminated against than blacks.

Although Huo Que is an American immigrant, he is only a second-generation immigrant, and more importantly, his soul belongs to Huaxia, after a good result in the release of his movie, he feels most proud of fighting for the Chinese, and the purpose of his current desire to take root in Hollywood is not only to prove himself, but also to prove Huaxia, he wants to let people all over the world know that there is a peerless director in Huaxia called Huo Que.

In that case, what about the name of the dragon?

Thinking of this, Huo Que shook his head and vetoed, although the Chinese are known as the descendants of the dragon, but the dragon is a symbol of the devil in the eyes of Westerners, although the dragon they think and recognize is very different from the Chinese, but if you really let the company name have the word dragon in it, it will inevitably make Westerners misunderstand, after all, Huo Que is still in Hollywood, and he still wants to develop in Hollywood.

Then bring a phoenix, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious.

It's not good, Feng mostly describes women, and Huo Que is awkward to think about a big man taking a feminine company.

The dragon can't work, the phoenix can't......

Suddenly, Huo Que's eyes lit up, and then he wrote two cumbersome words "麒麟" in Chinese with a pencil on a piece of paper, and then wrote the English translation of Qilin "kylin" in English at the back.

Qilin: A traditional Chinese mythical beast with a mild temperament, it is said to live for 2,000 years. The ancients believed that wherever the unicorn haunts, there must be auspiciousness. It is sometimes used as a metaphor for people with outstanding talents and both ability and integrity.

In Huaxia, the Rui beast that can be as famous as the dragon and phoenix is the unicorn, and the company is named Qilin, which has a strong Chinese style and implication, indicating that this is a company that gathers outstanding talents.

Just do it, Huo Que thought about the prototype of the unicorn in his mind for a while, and immediately began to draw it on the white paper with a pencil.

Huo Que's sketches are very good, and he won an award when he was in school. It only took half an hour for the bearded, mighty and domineering portrait of the unicorn to leap onto the paper.

"In the future, I will let you come out and walk around before every movie is shown." Huo Que looked at the sketch and said jokingly.

Huo Que came to Alex's office, and he still had to talk to Alex about this, after all, he only established his prestige today.

"No, I don't agree with using Kirin as the name of our company, because it is so obscure, except for the Chinese people who are familiar with it, Westerners basically don't know about it, and they haven't even heard of it." Alex shook his head vigorously.

Huo Que knew that this was such a result, and he said unhurriedly: "I have also considered this problem, I am Chinese, so I want to choose a company name with a strong Chinese style, and after thinking about it seriously, I feel that Qilin is the most suitable." ”

"Huo, please believe me, the Qilin is really not suitable." Alex lit a cigar: "I support you in other things, but please forgive me for not being able to support you in this matter, you said that you want to take a Chinese-style name, I agree, after all, the name of a company represents a corporate culture, but ninety-nine out of a hundred people in the Western world do not know or understand, and it is not good for us to use this name." ”

"Did people know about 'This Man Is From Earth' when it didn't go to Dennis?" Huo Que insisted on his opinion.

Alex was silent, and he took two puffs of his cigarette fiercely: "You have to think about it, since you want to insist, use it." ”

"I will popularize the meaning of the word unicorn to Westerners." Huo Que said confidently.

Alex showed a smile on his face: "Actually, I don't know what this divine beast of the unicorn represents. ”

Huo Que had no choice but to explain the Kirin to Alex, and when the explanation was finished, Alex nodded: "If it is true that the Kirin represents both auspiciousness and outstanding talents, then it is really suitable to be our company's domain name." ”

"Haha......" Huo Que laughed, and then handed the image of the unicorn he drew to Alex: "This is the company logo I want." ”

"Oh my God, this beast is very imposing." Alex said, admiring the portrait. Although Huo Que is more introverted on weekdays, his heart is wild, otherwise he would not have held on to an ideal at a young age, so when he drew this divine beast, he deliberately described the uninhibited temperament of this beast.

"I'm going to have the art department color it and put the logo on the DVD of 'This Man Is From Earth,' which we're going to release."

"OK" Alex glanced at the unicorn on the paper again with appreciation, and handed the paper to Huo Que.

The director of the art department is a white woman in her forties, named Rose Dora, she used to graduate from a famous design school, and has a different view of beauty, when she saw this mythical beast, she was also shocked, and discussed with Huo Que for a while, then took the drawing paper and went to color with the unicorn.

Huo Que turned on the computer and began to think about it again, any film company's movie has a short company promotional video before the movie is screened, and over time, those short videos have become classics, and they have become the logo of the film company that is more familiar to the audience than the logo.

So Huo Que also wants to make a short video that makes people shine, as a director, this is not difficult, but it will take some time, but there are not many places to use this video now, so you can spend more time thinking about it.

Two hours later, the phone in Huo Que's office rang, and it was Rose from the art department.

"Mr. Huo, I sent you the colored samples, can you take a look at the qualifications?" Rose said on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I'll see right away."

Huo Que opened the sample picture sent by Rise, and the black and white divine beast Qilin had some more brilliant colors on its body, and it looked radiant, but the colors were too varied, and it looked a little too fancy, but it drowned out the arrogant temperament of the Qilin itself.

Huo Que called the phone back, and then asked Reese to come to his office.

"Mr. Huo." Although Huo Que was only twenty-four years old, out of politeness, Ruisi still called him Mr. respectfully.

"You may be seated." Huo Que pointed to the office chair in front of him: "The artistic conception is there, but it doesn't have the effect I want......

Huo Que thought for a while and said: "How to say it, the unicorn is a kind of auspicious existence in our Huaxia, of course, it is also a sacred and noble existence, it doesn't have to be fancy, it doesn't need to be exaggerated, but it looks like it must have charm, it is the kind of arrogance that looks down on all beings." ”

Rose frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, "I know what to do." ”

After another two hours, when Huo Que was still thinking about how to make a short video, Rose came directly to his office, and then handed him a drawing printed out by a 3D printer, and this time the unicorn beast on it suddenly attracted Huo Que's attention.

The background of the picture is slightly deep, like a poignant battlefield in ancient times, and the main color of the mythical beast unicorn is mainly black, embellished with blood red, and the whole picture looks layered. What made Huo Que most tempted was the posture of the divine beast, he stepped on the ground with one foot, raised his foot slightly, a psychic tentacle flew in the wind, the tail was high, and the most expressive thing was its head, slightly sideways, full of domineering and majestic eyes looking into the distance.

"Okay." Huo Que couldn't help but appreciate: "It's really good, thank you, Miss Ress." ”

"Thank you for the appreciation." Ress smiled sheepishly, "That's what I'm supposed to do." ”

"This kind of combination was a little unexpected to me." Huo Que rolled his eyes: "Oh yes, I'm thinking about our company's opening promotional video now, and I don't have a clue, or let's discuss it." ”

Rose, who was born in the design, immediately became interested: "Then do we still use this divine beast as a logo?" ”

"Of course." Looking at the energetic unicorn on the drawing paper, Huo Que's eyes became brighter and brighter, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, a smile appeared on his face, and he pointed to the background of the picture and said to Rise: "Do you think this will work, freeze the initial picture under the dark sky, suddenly a black tornado mixed with lightning came from far and near, when the tornado rotated faster and faster, suddenly there was a loud roar, and then this divine beast jumped out of the tornado, do you see it?" ”

Ress bit her lip, as if she was making up for the picture described by Huo Que, and after a while, she smiled: "Mr. Huo, you are worthy of being a genius director, I should know your thoughts." ”

"It's going to be off work soon, you can come back tomorrow to make zuò, let's think about it today." Huo Que reminded.

"Thank you for caring about Mr. Huo." Rose was in a good mood because he felt it was an honor to work under such a talented boss.
