Chapter 42: Do You Remember Your Dream That Year?
"Hey~ It's this taste, it's still so sweet, but it's weird not to eat it for a year."
"Hahaha, old Tang, do you remember? When we first came, you took the first bite of this xiaolongbao and found that the meat filling was sweet, and that expression was amazing! ”
"I didn't expect the meat buns in Jiangkou to be sweet, we all eat salty meat buns in the north...... Heterodox. ”
"Don't you eat a lot of heresy now?"
"I've been eating this for four years, and I'm almost used to it."
"Haha~ Come, let's take one."
"Hiss~ It's still this wine."
A few people were eating, drinking, and drinking juice, and they hadn't been seen for almost a year, so there was a lot of talk.
But when old classmates meet, they all start with reminiscences at the beginning.
Then, if you lose friends, you must start by exposing your shortcomings.
I finished reminiscing about the past, and then I started talking about the present.
"Seriously, animation is not easy to do now, our company has several projects in hand, but the funds are not in place for a long time, and we can't start construction at all." Lin Qixian took a bite of food and said.
"Ahhh~"
Dong Chen took a bite of the chicken leg and muttered: "It's good not to start work, we don't have so many people after the project is fully opened, and we have to work unlimited overtime." ”
"Click~Click~Click~"
Tang Chao ate a green vegetable with relish, and when he heard them complain about their work, he asked, "Hey, how is your company now?" Is it in profit or loss? ”
"Loss, the loss is so bad that the pants are almost gone, otherwise why the funds for several animations are not in place, it is because the previous two sci-fi mecha animations have not been broadcast and are cold, and then the response of a fantasy animation is not good, and capital has no confidence in us."
"Yes, the situation is not good now, the company has a few projects in its hands, but it is not to invest, and the right to use the project still has a time limit, if you don't start production, the right to use will be withdrawn, and the money spent before will be spent in vain."
"It's really not good right now, all we're doing is a few episodes of animation from Sakura Country, and there's one in collaboration with Bi Zhan, and it's gone after it's done."
"Alas, the dream of the mural is much better, other people's projects are one after another, and this year there is another hit, which can't compare to ...... at all"
While eating, Tang Chao listened to their complaints and complaints, and suddenly thought of an idea in his heart.
Don't you want to animate?
This is an opportunity.
But you can't say it directly, you have to find an entry point.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly thought of something.
Speaking of work, the three of them were already a little depressed, Tang Chao looked at them and said, "Lao Dong, Lao Lin, do you still remember our previous dreams?" ”
"Dreams? What dreams? ”
Suddenly hearing this, they were really a little confused.
Which one is this?
And they have more dreams, such as buying a bunch of figurines, climbing Mount Everest together, and going to P ...... together
Ahem, there are too many dreams, who knows which one he said.
"I said you're falling too fast, aren't you?"
Tang Chao's eyes squinted, and he said with disdain: "Of course, it's the fun of doing animation that we talked about before, and we also want to make high-quality animation." ”
As soon as they said this, the two really picked out the animation dream from a bunch of dreams.
They learn animation, and after a certain stage of learning, of course they will have the dream of making their own animation, and this dream will continue until they start doing their homework.
After doing their homework, they don't want to do it alone, and then it becomes a dream for the whole dorm.
After all, it's too difficult to do animation alone, and it's still powerful to have more people.
It's just that this dream has changed again after graduation.
There were a total of six people in their dormitory, and Dong Chen and Lin Qi stayed in Jiangkou and entered the five-color stone animation.
Tang Chao returned to his hometown and did not join an animation company, but became a freelancer, and occasionally made some small short films, two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and freeze-frame, so that his skills would not be unfamiliar.
The other three also returned to their hometowns, one joined his own animation company, one became a high school art teacher, and the other joined a comic company and drew comics.
As soon as I got busy with work, the color of my dreams faded, so I was put in a recycling bin with a bunch of dreams.
But how to say it, in the end, it is a good friend who has lived in a dormitory, even if it is put in the recycling bin, it will often be turned out to see.
Dong Chen and Lin Qi are even more idle, they themselves work in a professional animation company, and their related skills have become more proficient, so they often take out this animation dream to retouch it, and then ...... Put it in the recycle bin again.
"I haven't forgotten," Dong Chen patted the table and said, "I know that you have hundreds of thousands of fans, but you definitely don't know that I have been drawing comics, right?" ”
"Ah, you still draw comics?" Tang Chao said in surprise.
"Look, you just don't know."
Dong Chen glared directly, and then pointed at Tang Chao with his finger.
Lin Qi pulled his fingers down angrily, "Okay, you do a good job of keeping secrets, I don't even know if I work with you every day, you still expect Chaozi to know?" ”
"Oh, too."
Dong Chen retracted his fingers in a daze.
Tang Chao saw that he had drunk too much, and then turned his head and asked Lin Qixian: "What's the matter?" ”
"What else could it be? This is a big move. ”
"He has been drawing comics, I didn't know until the middle of the year, and then I also joined, the company happened to have no projects during this time, and he wanted to raise money to make a small cost for himself, so he took the comics and found the boss......"
So that's what happened.
Looking at the guy in front of him who was almost drunk and began to eat staple food, Tang Chao didn't expect that this guy could really hide.
After graduating, I started drawing comics, and I did it for more than a year, all in my spare time.
At first, I didn't want others to know, maybe I was just afraid that my grades would be poor.
To face.
I didn't expect it to turn out to be.
However, the work is not a big hit, it is just a little famous, and it has not yet reached the point where others come to buy the copyright for animation.
Just in time for the company's recent business is not good.,There's no money owner dad to invest in animation.,But the company's people can't be idle.,So the company wants to raise its own funds to make a small-cost animation.。
Of course, due to the limited self-raised funds, the goal is small cost + plot orientation, just like the assassin and Xiao Hei.
The boss gave the task to everyone, so that they could pay attention to some novels and comics, and if there were good ones, they could recommend them to the company.
With this opportunity, Dong Chen of course recommended his comics.
To be honest, he draws science fiction comics, which is destined to burn money, but it is not impossible to produce it in a low-cost way.
And there is also a good thing about his works, that is, the copyright is completely in his own hands, and he does not have to worry about copyright disputes, and he will not stop eating because of a word from others.
The most important thing is that Dong Chen doesn't want copyright fees, which can save the company money.
He just wanted to animate the manga.
Tang Chao asked for the name of the comic, and immediately searched it on his mobile phone, and it was really good at first glance.
Let's not talk about whether it can be selected, if it is really chosen, it is a pity to make it at a small cost.
After understanding the whole thing, Tang Chao rolled his eyes and said, "In this way, isn't your company lacking the father of the gold owner?" What do you think of me? ”
"You?"
The three of them looked at Tang Chao in unison when they heard this, and Dong Chen said directly: "Old Tang, how many years have we all graduated, and you still want to be our father?" ”
"Hey, when did I do it in vain, I brought you food when I was at school, and I lent you money when you ran out of money, and now ......"
Tang Chao hooked his finger at him, "Don't make small costs in your comics, how about I invest 50 million in you?" ”
"Zimbabwean dollars?" Dong Chen asked dizzily.
"What do you want, of course it's RMB!"
“!!!”
