Chapter 413
"When we go to the United States, borrow it and open it!!" The rest of the crew also coaxed.
Speaking of this free car, Robert Downey Jr. is actually a little confused. Disney didn't give any notice at first, and directly delivered the luxury car to Downey five days ago, which really scared Robert Downey Jr., and it was a BMW worth $300,000. And the local news quickly discovered the news and quickly reported it. It has attracted the attention of many people.
The crew played for a while, and after carving up the pile of Zhangjiajie's special delicacies, they quickly entered the next filming under the drive of the woods.
"Director, can you adjust my assignment a bit? "Iron Man 2" is expected to start filming in December, and I'm going to live over there then. Donnie walked up to Lin Mu and said.
"Yes." Lin Mu readily agreed. "I'll adjust the plan at night and adjust your role to the front. Refuel, by the way, don't get involved in drugs or anything, and luxury houses, luxury cars, etc., to be modest, so as not to let others gossip. β
The reason why Lin Mu reminded him so is because Robert Downey Jr. in the former plane was after the success of "Iron Man". Soon fell into a storm of public opinion, not only was his personal luxury extravagant, but his son was also infected with drugs and went to the detention center.
"Haha, don't worry, it won't." Donnie smiled and waved his hand. Indicates that it will not.

On December 14, 2012, Hope Film and Television Feilong Animation completed the negotiation and formally signed the agreement, Hope Film and Television wholly owned 200 million, accounting for 80% of the shares, responsible for all operational behaviors, owning the copyright of all works, and Feilong Comics is responsible for its distribution, accounting for 20 shares.
Tianwang Animation Company was officially established. As for why he wants to cooperate with Feilong Comics, Lin Mu's idea is to increase his network as much as possible, the money is endless, it is better to add one more ally to himself on the road in the future, an ally with interests. If you start a company independently, you may become a competitor to Feilong Comics, which is very detrimental to the development of comic companies.
This year's crisis of public opinion has taught Lin Mu enough lessons.
After the establishment of the comic company, the comic group that originally belonged to Hope Film and Television was also assigned to this company, and at the same time recruited a lot of cartoonists, some of them were older, but most of them were young people.
In addition to finance, logistics, and business, all the other comic artists in the entire comic company are cartoonists, with a total of 50 people. The office is also located in the Hope Building.
Because Lin Mu didn't keep this matter too secretive, many media reported on it.
The news of the establishment of "Hope Film and Television Begins to Enter the Animation Industry" Tianwang Comics Company soon spread throughout the entertainment industry.
"Poof!! This forest is crazy, isn't it? I started working on comics before the movie was done!! β
"I guess I'm going to adapt the movie into a comic, but the income in this area is not high, so it's better to hand it over to the comic company directly."
"Comics are different from movies, they are movie geniuses, but they don't mean they are comic book geniuses."
Although there are many people who despise singing and declining, because "Iron Man" has added a lot of points to Lin Mu, many media have begun to sing well for Lin Mu.
"This may be a breakthrough in hope film and television, and we want to integrate film and television and comic resources."
"The global popularity of "Iron Man", which is adapted from comics, made Lin Mu finally make up his mind to do a good job in comics, will this be a shortcut to hope that film and television will take another step?"
"Fans of comics can really do big movies at the box office and other merch hits, which is a good way to do it."
Just when there was a lot of discussion in the outside world, Lin Mu also secretly returned to the company and convened a meeting of all the cartoonists.
How does a new comic company make a name for itself? At the same time, by the way, give those broken mouths to the kings and blacks a few slaps?
There are so many ways that Lin Mu can think of!!
"Dragon Ball", a classic work by the famous Japanese manga master Akira Toriyama, began to be serialized in 1984. It tells the legendary story of Son Goku, who has been trying to surpass his limits and pursue power, in order to find Dragon Ball, and encountered many strong enemies, and with the common battle, he finally became a good partner who recognized and trusted each other, and embarked on a journey to find Dragon Ball with Son Goku.
"One Piece", a juvenile manga work drawn by Japanese manga artist Eiichiro Oda in the former time and space, has been serialized since 1997. It depicts the story of Luffy, a young man with a rubber body and a straw hat, who aims to become the "King of the Pirates" and embarks on an adventure in the sea with his companions.
"Bleach ", "Attack on Titan", "Fullmetal Alchemist", "Naruto", "Saint Seiya" ......
There are too many good comics from Japan, a big anime country, in the previous time and space, but what makes Lin Mu a little pity is that after this period of understanding, famous comics such as "Fullmetal Alchemist", "Naruto", and "Saint Seiya" have a similar shadow in this time and space, and they can't be 'moved'......
And "Dragon Ball", "One Piece", and "Bleach have many manga that have not seen a shadow", and these can be 'taken'. And there are a lot of fantasy and science fiction that are suitable for adapting comics on the Internet......
"Network??" Lin Mu pinched his chin, maybe he could buy an online website and collect the famous copyrights, well, or he could cooperate......
Lin Mu turned his head to the secretary who followed him to the conference hall and said, "Xiaowen, let the marketing department do a survey of the current online website to see if it can acquire a website or cooperate, and combine it with a comic company to become a source of scripts for Hope Film and Television." I'm going to see the preliminary market research report in a month's time. β
"Okay." Jiang Xiaowen quickly wrote down Lin Mu's instructions in her notebook.
"Dragon Ball", "One Piece", "Bleach Are", "The Prince of Tennis", "Attack on Titan", "Detective Conan", "********" ...... Lin Mu chose a lot of Japanese comics as paving the way for future manga companies.
In addition to Japanese manga, Hayashi also selected some anime that were famous in China before the time and space......
For example...... While complaining, he shouted the good-looking "Joyful Yang Yang and the Big Big Wolf", as well as the historical "Qin Shi Mingyue", and the pit goods "Q version of the Three Kingdoms...... Well, the comics in the country before the time and space are really a bit bad, this must be admitted.
In so many comics, what manga should you choose? Lin Mu was already thinking about it some time ago.
At the beginning, there must not be too many comics, which will affect the speed of creation, and at the same time, they must be classic to have commemorative significance. Moreover, there needs to be a movie that can be adapted into a movie, so as to prove that his move is correct and wise, otherwise those crows outside will be arrogant and proud.
Lin Mu went straight to the conference room and started the first meeting since the establishment of the comic company.
Lin Mu stood on the podium, looked at the 50 cartoonists below, and said straight to the point: "I won't talk about the company's operation and management, those who have professional managers to manage, and you don't have to worry about this." β
"I don't need you to think about any new comics, I'll give you my ideas and settings, and then you can work on these comics to make something I am satisfied with."
The 50 cartoonists below pouted a little when they heard Lin Mu's words, but they were more obedient or excited, because most of the people who entered this company were admirers of Lin Mu, and they would choose to obey whatever Lin Mu said. And...... Lin Mu is the boss.
And the creativity and setting that Lin Mu said, they are obviously looking forward to it!!
"The content of today's meeting is classified as classified until the official release of the comics. There are three tasks I have given you, that is, three comics. β
Lin Mu plugged the USB flash drive into the computer that had already been turned on. Connect to the projector and open one of the files.
"The first manga: Dragon Ball."
"On a distant planet, there is a Saiyan known as the Battle Race, who is naturally warliked. With a short temperament, they maintain a youthful body from youth to middle age, and they can transform at a certain stage, from the first order to the fourth order, and each time there will be a large increase in combat effectiveness. β
"And one of the Saiyan children was exiled to the universe because he was born with insufficient combat power, and finally came to Earth, and was adopted by an old grandfather......"
Lin Mu simply set the specific background, and then put the comic characters on the projector, including Monkey King and Vegeta. There is Bulma...... The character caricatures are shown to everyone and the past is introduced one by one.
"There are a total of 10 articles in "Dragon Ball", which are the search chapter, the martial arts conference chapter, the search chapter 2, the martial arts conference chapter 2, the Great Demon King chapter, the martial arts conference chapter 3, the Saiyan chapter, the Namek star chapter, the artificial human chapter, and the Majin Buu chapter. And I've already written the general plot.,You just need to create a comic according to the character imageγPainting styleγPlot I gave.γ β
"The second part, "Joyful and Big Big Wolf", is about the green grassland. The sheep and sheep population has flourished. There are already small towns, schools, supermarkets, and beauty salons in the sheep and sheep tribes, and the sheep of all the sheep and sheep groups live happily. In the forest on the other side, there lived two wolves, the gray wolf and the red wolf. β
"There is also a ...... of "********"
The reason for choosing "********". It's because it can make movies, TV series.
The three manga Lin Mu have already drawn the beginning, and also given specific settings, and "Dragon Ball" also gives a specific plot description, "********" gives a general plot, and "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is much more relaxed, without any plot. It's just a matter of asking for a style that is more fun.
Two hours later......
The meeting was finally over, and the cartoonists looked at Lin Mu excitedly one by one, their eyes shining with adoration.
Lin Mu gave the information to Zhang Jing, the person in charge of the comic company, and left after encouraging all the comic artists.
As soon as he returned to the office, Michael Bay, whose hair was messy and in good spirits, came up: "Transformers 2 has completed the preliminary editing." Would you like to take a look? Comments? β
The excited look almost dragged Lin Mu away, and Lin Mu, who originally wanted to go back to Zhangjiajie immediately, could only postpone the plane until the evening.
After 170 minutes, "Transformers 2" was finally finished, Michael Bay did not disappoint Lin Mu, the movie was made great, the editing was great, and the dubbing was great, which was not bad at all compared to "Transformers 1".
This movie is completely a popcorn feast, with luxury cars competing for glory, extremely tight combat rhythms, and he has also made some optimizations in the scene, making a more vigorous battle scene in the battle in Egypt than the battlefield in the magic capital.
As for the literary and artistic style, connotation...... Well, Michael Bay is worse than the woods, so the connotation is fed to the dogs, and the Gangsi also sell popcorn anyway.
However, Lin Mu was also vigilant in his heart: "In the third part, we must add a director and adjust it, so as not to make the whole series popcorn, and I will definitely be scolded to death by the gangs." β
Thinking of this, Lin Mu said to Michael Bay: "You know the evaluation of Rotten Tomatoes in the North American market, if the third part is still popcorn like this, it will definitely be said to be **** by those film critics with a bad mouth, if you want to shoot the third part, please come up with a different script." β
Michael Bay, who was originally excited about the success of the movie, was suddenly miserable, he was a famous commercial director, and he was blind when he played literature and art, but Lin Mu was right, if he kept popping like this, he would definitely encounter the contempt of the group of comics in North America, and they might humiliate you with a 10% or even 0% freshness.
After thinking about it, Michael Bay said: "I happen to have a friend I know, he has this kind of experience, and if I can, I want to hire him as an assistant director." β
"That's fine, just decide." Lin Mu readily agreed, but at the same time, he was also thinking that "Transformers 4" must be postponed for four or five years and cool down. In fact, many series of movies become popcorn professionals when they are filmed. Thinking of this, Lin Mu suddenly thought of the "Harry Potter" series and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series in the previous time and space, these two series of movies have done a better job in this regard, and there may be something to learn from.
Michael Bay noticed that Lin Mu was distracted, and pulled his clothes: "Boss, does the company have any plans to release it?" When will Transformers be released? Will it be released globally or gradually? β
Lin Mu pondered for a while, quickly filtered the film schedule for the next two months, and finally said: "Before Christmas, "Harry Potter" will be released, and "Lord of the Rings" is set after Christmas, and during the period, there are several movies that I think are better for "Machines", and in 3D theaters, the scheduling rate of "Transformers" will definitely suffer, so I don't think it's appropriate at this time, well, after New Year's Day, ......."
Michael Bay felt in agreement with the idea and nodded in agreement.
ββββββββββββββββ
Now I hope that with the maturity of the leadership team, there are fewer and fewer things that need to be dealt with by Lin Mu, and Lin Mu has basically become a boss who doesn't care about anything. So Lin Mu didn't deal with other companies' affairs and went straight to his home, and after eating, he took Fan Ye, his secretary Jiang Xiaowen and two bodyguards directly on the plane and flew to Xiangnan. (To be continued.) )
