On the day of his birthday, Zhang Heng received phone greetings from his parents, as well as text messages from friends in the circle such as Bai Menglan, Zhang Xueyou, Deng Chao, etc., to Zhang Heng's surprise, one of the blessing text messages turned out to be Zhao Xingliang, chairman of Yinggu Film and Television Group!

Gee! What a smiling tiger......

Zhang Heng touched his chin and muttered meaninglessly.

Not long ago, the production team, which originally became an instant hit with the filming of "Never Expected", was lured by Gong Qingfeng, the leader of the choreography and directing group, and collectively jumped to Nirvana Studio, and part of the liquidated damages were naturally paid by the new owner Nirvana.

Not only has the salary of the original company been increased by two percent, but these photographers, lighting engineers and other employees who have been neglected in Yinggu Film and Television have no worries about not being able to make movies in the future.

Such a poaching happened, even Zhang Heng felt red-faced, but he didn't expect Zhao Xingliang to send an email to congratulate him regardless of his previous suspicions.

At this moment, Zhang Heng felt so shameless.

The ensuing time, as the beginning of spring came, became unusually compact.

In addition to the continued filming of "People in the Rivers and Lakes", the second part of "Never Expected" "Report to the Boss" was also mentioned by Zhang Heng on the agenda, after the filming of "People in the Rivers and Lakes", the original production team will start filming "Report to the Boss" non-stop.

The poached production team is very happy with this.

Such a busy and compact working time is unavoidable in a large group like Yinggu Film and Television.

The entire production team does not have the slightest sense of shame in changing jobs, and some are just proud of being valued after being discovered!

It's finally time to show your strength!

Gold always needs to be mined, and no one doesn't want to let themselves shine!

Subsequently, the directors, screenwriters, lighting, sets, field affairs and other contracted employees of Nirvana Studio have also been recruited.

A series of professional chains around entertainment began to unfold slowly.

A few days before the Spring Festival holiday, Zhang Heng began to collide with the members of the animation team in the conference room according to the plan!

The animation group, that is, the combination of animation and comics, the studio's current capital chain is not sufficient, so now it can only focus on publishing comics, and it is not a small distance from the ability to make animation.

In addition to the leader of the animation group, Cheng Huiyou, plus Niu Lao, a total of eight members.

In addition to the Niu Lao who was not present because of the comic task of "People in Jianghu", the other six people, plus the team leader Cheng Huiyou, were all called into the conference room by Zhang Heng, and Zhang Heng forced some simple tasks to arrange.

No company will keep a group of waste, only by continuously producing value and bringing some benefits to the company can it be a lasting way to be an employee.

"We all know that in addition to superb painting, comics also need a good story, so what kind of story will be favored by the audience?" Zhang Heng looked around and saw the hesitant expressions of the comic book players, he frowned and said, "Can't think of it?" ”

"It's not that I can't think of it, but I think too much, and I can't ......choose," Cheng Huiyou hurriedly said.

No employee wants to be despised by the boss, the animation team led by Cheng Huiyou is a working group formed by the company early, but as time passes, the entire animation team has no other work to do except for "People in the Rivers and Lakes", which makes the team leader Cheng Huiyou embarrassed At the same time, he can't help but secretly complain that several subordinates don't vomit.

"How about I think of one?"

Zhang Heng looked at the group of ashamed employees in front of him lightly, and threw out the thoughts that he had already thought about before: "For example, the journey of treasures, pirates, and strong people? ”

Zhang Heng stood in front of the large billboard in the conference room, holding a highlighter in his hand, turned around, and began to write and draw on the board.

Pirate?

Comic artists were surprised, not long ago, Japanese animation has just ushered in a burst of explosion, the popularity of "Slam Dunk", almost let many animation companies invest in the production of competitive animation, about football, baseball, rugby and other competitive sports show a blowout outbreak period, the entire Asian animation market, almost all of them are shrouded in the shadow of the characters of "Rukawa Kaede", "Sakuragi Hanamichi" and "Miyagi Ryota".

Under the influence of the big market, following "Slam Dunk" to produce some competitive works, such as "Football Kid", I am afraid that there is a market guarantee than stories like "a pirate with strong martial arts to dig for treasure".

"Don't look at me with suspicion."

Zhang Heng wrote the word Japan on the big billboard, and said slowly: "The current animation market is almost all in Japan, if you don't find another way and innovate independently, then our Chinese animation may never surpass Japan." Japan was only a dependent island country before China, and even if it became independent, it would not allow them to turn over and become masters. ”

Everyone was shocked, and looked at Zhang Heng with burning eyes.

Zhang Heng's domineering remarks will be spread out, and I am afraid that many Chinese animation companies will be ashamed.

"The story I want to tell is a great legacy, an immortal legend."

Zhang Heng seduced: "Just imagine, in an Age of Discovery, a legendary pirate who left a message about his life's wealth before his death, what kind of sensation would it cause in the era of pirates? ”

"Pirates are greedy, and in the face of visible interests, no matter how tough the opponent is, the ruling party is harsh, I'm afraid they can't help but rise up!" Cheng Huiyou, the leader of the animation group, said along Zhang Heng's thoughts, and then fell into deep thought.

"That's right!" Zhang Heng glanced at him approvingly, nodded and said: "The pirates began to fight for this legendary huge wealth, so when various forces and regimes continued to alternate and mingle, the whole world began to enter the turbulent and chaotic "era of pirates"! ”

"That's what I'm trying to talk about!" Zhang Heng looked at the comic artists who were thinking in private with burning eyes, and began to cut directly to the topic: "A young man who grew up in a village in the East China Sea, was guided by an old pirate and decided to become an excellent pirate!" ”

"In order to achieve this goal and find the treasure of the much-anticipated One Piece, the young man embarks on an arduous journey."

"Along the way, he encountered countless hardships and made friends with different personalities."

Zhang Heng kept talking, and then said with a final word: "After fighting with powerful enemies, their strength is increasing rapidly, and in the journey of treasure hunting, they have embarked on a legendary adventure together!" In the end, good triumphs over evil, and they find the treasure of One Piece! But ......"

The comic artists looked at Zhang Heng with blank eyes, but what?

"Don't ask me, the specific plot needs you to think about!" Zhang Heng touched his chin and looked carefully at the six cartoonists in front of him, five men and one woman, this match was very incongruous, but Zhang Heng could only believe in Cheng Huiyou's vision.

And the greater confidence comes from the story blueprint that Zhang Heng himself has just described.

One Piece!

"Sounds good, but it's an emerging market." A literary man with black-rimmed glasses said: "And it's just a story of a pirate becoming stronger, it's not very readable, and it may not bring much benefit to the company!" ”

"Every popular anime style is completely popular because of emerging markets!"

Zhang Heng tapped the card board with a highlighter and said, "What is the hottest thing now?" Money, beautiful women? ”

This is indeed the hottest topic of the moment.

Everyone looked at Zhang Heng in a daze, not knowing what information was contained in the boss's words?

"In addition to money and beauty, friendship, righteousness, commitment, hard work, hard work, bravery, conspiracy, conspiracy, and ......"

Zhang Heng sighed and said: "These are all selling points, and they are also the highlights of all entertainment industries, if you want to continue to follow Nirvana, you should not sit still, you must take the initiative to think and explore the potential of the market...... The reason why the entertainment industry in China is sluggish is because most of us don't know how to think independently, and just blindly follow the trend and pick up the leftover bones from others. ”

"But you must know that we are a civilized empire that has been inherited for 5,000 years, we once stood at the top of the world, we Datang sat and waited for the eight directions to come to the court, we are a sleeping lion!" Zhang Heng said in a low voice, and suddenly deliberately said in a tone of pity: "You probably don't understand what I'm talking about......"

The members of the anime group felt that they were being underestimated, and they immediately became angry.

"I understand!" The bespectacled literary man squeezed his fist hard, and the bruises on his neck flared up: "Boss, I understand what you're talking about!" ”

"Dream! The ultimate theme of this anime is dreams! The literary man said impassionedly, "I think, in addition to what the boss said, in this work, we should add some themes that support the soul of this work, or rather, some treasures that continue the development of the main line?" ”

All the members of the anime group looked at this colleague in surprise, they also had ideas, but they didn't dare to clash with the boss in person, but Xiao Liao usually
