016 The fool who generates electricity for love
Zhu Ruihua three years ago had no talent but no use.
Before Zhu Ruihua joined Huiyu Film and Television, he set up an animation production studio with full of enthusiasm, and he still had some savings at that time, he thought that as long as he made animation with his heart, the animation produced was enough for them to run the studio. It's a pity that the cruel reality shattered all his illusions. No matter how hard the animation is made, in the case of insufficient funds or even broken chains, the picture is close to collapse, and no matter how good the story is, there is no decent picture support, and the audience does not buy it. Especially for those audiences who like picture quality, Zhu Ruihua's several works have all been seriously criticized by this part of the audience, and even some audiences ridiculed him for not wanting to get an axe.
The failure of several consecutive works completely disappointed Zhu Ruihua with the Chinese animation environment at that time. Before the last work of the studio was completed, it was announced that it had collapsed due to the complete disconnection of funds, and the studio had to be disbanded, and since then, Zhu Ruihua, who was well-known in the Chinese animation production circle at that time, disappeared in the eyes of the world. It wasn't until later that Ye Yu learned about Zhu Ruihua by chance, and learned that he himself was not at all a top supervisory talent in Japan, so he personally found and invited him to join Huiyu Film and Television, which was just about to be established.
At that time, before the establishment of Huiyu Film and Television, Zhu Ruihua was already disappointed in the Chinese animation film and television production circle. Because of this circle, compared to Japan, which is world-famous for animation production next door, Huaxia, which was the earliest origin, is no worse than Japan, but later the gap between China and Japan in animation production gradually widened. Perhaps it is the influence of the concept that most Chinese people believe that "animation is a children's book only for children", and gradually the focus of Chinese animation has shifted from all-age to children, while Japan still maintains all-age development.
The change of the audience,Led to a widening gap in technology,It wasn't until recent years that the ACG circle has gradually become popular,Huaxia animation has redeveloped the long-lost all-age animation,Unfortunately,It's a little late to find it back at this timeγ
No matter a person or a thing, it's okay not to make a comparison, but one of them will definitely be hurt. In the all-age animation industry, compared to Japan, which has developed for decades, what does Huaxia, which has been full of more than ten years, compare with others? This also led to the early recovery of all-age animation, no matter whether the quality is good or bad, whether there is a heart to produce it or not, the criticism of the all-age animation produced is far greater than the appreciation. Coupled with the country's strong support in the early days, some people took this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, which made the development of this industry even more difficult.
Although there are many reasons for the failure of the studio established by Zhu Ruihua, after the dissolution of the studio, Zhu Ruihua found that the most fundamental reason is not because they do not have enough technology, but because the funds are too little, without the support of funds, no matter how talented the animation producer is, he cannot produce animation that everyone applauds.
Later, Zhu Ruihua was personally approached by Ye Yu, Ye Yu personally invited him to join Huiyu Film and Television, and Ye Yu showed sincerity, promising that after Zhu Ruihua joined Huiyu Film and Television, he would participate as the supervisor of the first work of Huiyu Film and Television, and Ye Yu also guaranteed that the animation produced by Huiyu Film and Television would never be as false as the outside world. In order to show his sincerity, Ye Yu handed Zhu Ruihua a bank card with 3 million RMB.
At that time, Zhu Ruihua was very puzzled why Ye Yu did this, and Ye Yu then explained.
"Since I, Ye Yu, have decided to revive Huaxia Animation, I will not fall behind in terms of minimum funds, this 3 million is Mr. Zhu's small treasury as the deputy supervisor of the first work of Huiyu Film and Television, if you find that the animation production funds are not enough, the 3 million will be transferred by Mr. Zhu. After you run out, you can continue to ask me. β
Zhu Ruihua heard Ye Yu's explanation, and his face was incredulous. He couldn't believe that the young man in front of him, who was younger than him, would have such a big deal, he handed him the bank 3 million RMB, in the environment at the time, even in Japan, the cost of an episode of animation did not exceed 1 million RMB at most, and this time he was given the money for the production of three episodes, and looking at this posture, if it really runs out, you can continue to ask him.
In terms of funds alone, Ye Yu's generosity regained confidence in Zhu Ruihua, who had been disappointed in the animation industry.
Of course, Zhu Ruihua would not be stupid and accept the money like this, when he asked Ye Yu why he trusted him so much, Ye Yu gave the answer.
"Mr. Zhu is as determined to revive Huaxia Animation as I am, unlike Mr. Zhu, who is a talent that is really needed for the recovery of Huaxia Animation, I am just a capitalist of all evils in the eyes of others, all I can do is to ensure that there is no shortage of funds in the production of animation, and the rest depends on you, Mr. Zhu."
Ye Yu's sincere words made Zhu Ruihua regain his strength at that time, and decided to seriously make a work to repay Ye Yu, so that he could understand that his vision was correct.
Zhu Ruihua found old friends who had worked together for many years and invited them to join Huiyu Film and Television to re-realize their dreams. With the guarantee of sufficient funds, the first work of Painted Feather Film and Television was successfully launched.
At that time, the general audience thought that Chinese animation was inferior to Japanese animation, and the first work of Eiwa Film and Television gave the audience a big slap in the face.
With careful production, sufficient funds and costly production special effects, the first work of Ewa Film and Television successfully broke the monopoly of Japanese animation in China.
At that time, Zhu Ruihua, who was the behind-the-scenes producer, knew very well how much money their boss had paid for the production of this animation that broke Japan's monopoly in the Chinese animation circle, not to mention the small treasury that Ye Yu prepared for Zhu Ruihua beforehand, and Zhu Ruihua asked Ye Yu four times after using it.
The success of the first work of Eiyu Film and Television also made Zhu Ruihua understand that it is not that Huaxia Animation is inferior to Japanese animation, but that although Huaxia Animation is technically inferior to Japanese animation, Huaxia Animation can still produce animation that is comparable to or even surpasses Japanese animation when the funds are abundant enough.
Afterwards, although Painted Feather Film and Television became famous from this war, Zhu Ruihua also knew that even if this work brought a lot of income to Painted Feather Film and Television on the surface, it was already an excellent reputation, but in fact, these revenues still couldn't make up for the animation production expenses. In the eyes of the outside world, this animation that made Painted Feather Film and Television gain fame and fortune, but in fact, this work Painted Feather Film and Television gained only dispensable fame.
Just when Painted Feather Film and Television produced the second work, Zhu Ruihua guessed that Ye Yu would reduce the production budget for this work, Ye Yu once again gave him a surprise.
Not only did the production budget of this production not reduce like the previous one, but it was still the same, when Zhu Ruihua learned about this, he personally approached Ye Yu and asked why?
In Zhu Ruihua's heart, even if Ye Yu reduces the production budget, he can understand, after all, it is impossible to make animation with a dream like he did a few years ago, without actual income to support, no matter how big the dream is, it is vulnerable in the face of cruel reality.
The success of the first work also allowed Zhu Ruihua to complete his dream for many years, and then in order to embrace Ye Yu's trust, Zhu Ruihua planned to make the best work within the limited production budget, Ye Yu's actions made him confused.
"Why? It's because this is my dream. β
Ye Yu's reply made Zhu Ruihua, who had already passed the thirtieth mark, a little sluggish, and he looked at the boss who originally thought that he was extremely mature would say such childish words at this moment.
In retrospect, his behavior as a boss was absolutely childish in the eyes of others.
In this world, there is no fool who generates electricity for love.
