Storm Studios.

A studio that was on the verge of closure a year ago, happened to meet Zhou Yang when he was having a casual meal, and later got the investment from Zhou Yang, and survived by "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year".

The second half of '07 was extremely busy for the studio.

Almost every day, I pounced on "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year", from the composition, from the voice actor, from the technology, and then to the script outline provided by Zhou Yang, and began to write and realize the animation of the follow-up story internally......

Along the way, these young people are working hard in full swing.

A little luck, coupled with the hard work of the people, Storm Studio finally stabilized its foothold and handed over a satisfactory answer sheet in the midst of thousands of troops.

At the end of 07, the boss Xue Ningyi counted the studio's income, aside from various production fees and various operating expenses, the studio earned more than 9 million yuan from the pure profit of animation alone.

Inspecting the assembly-line studio, looking at the energetic employees, Xue Ning looked at the poster of "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year", and had an idea in his heart again.

In addition to "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year", they want to make another anime.....

It just so happens that this year is the Olympic year, and sports-themed animation is the main theme, so Xue Ning wants to move closer to this.

She chatted with Zhang Xiaoya about her ideas, and then the two hit it off, and it took nearly two months to start a basketball-themed animation called "Slam Dunk" in great detail.

The general character design and story setting basically follow the half-popular "Iron Blood Slam Dunk" on the R side, and even the names of the protagonists and supporting characters imitate "Iron Blood Slam Dunk".

Ichiro Matsumoto, Saburo Kyoto, Sasada Inoue.....

After doing all this, Zhang Xiaoya contacted Zhou Yang as soon as possible, and talked to Zhou Yang about her views and the concept of future animation.

However.....

"Isn't this exactly the same as "Iron Blood Slam Dunk", which is a low-profile version of "Iron Blood Slam Dunk".... "Moreover, this plot, if you really copy "Iron and Blood Slam Dunk" like this, aren't you afraid that the other party will accuse you of plagiarism?"

"More importantly, your persona...... The protagonist also has a blasted head, wears glasses, and often shouts the name of the slam dunk skill with enthusiasm, which is too embarrassing...... ＂

"This...." in the office.

Zhang Xiaoya and Xue Ning listened to Zhou Yangli's complaints.

The two were extremely embarrassed, Xue Ning was a little unconvinced, and explained to Zhou Yang that this was "crossing the river by feeling the stones, it would be safer to do so, and moreover, Huaxia Animation copied R animation, plagiarized Lao Mei animation is actually quite a lot, and the other party wants to sue, but there is no way to sue.....

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then he hung up immediately.

Xue Ning was originally puffing out his cheeks, and his somewhat unconvinced expression instantly went down like a deflated ball.

"You say..... Will Mr. Zhou be angry?" She glanced at Zhang Xiaoya with some unconfidence. "Mr. Zhou is not such a person....." Zhang Xiaoya shook her head, but she was uneasy in her heart.

carefully recalled the animation and character design of his "Slam Dunk", and suddenly realized that it was unreliable......

There was a brief silence in the office, and then Xue Ning had the courage to make another phone call to Zhou Yang, but found that no one answered the phone immediately.

Xue Ning suddenly panicked in his heart.

Storm Studio won't offend Zhou Yang, the God of Wealth, because of her words, right?

She thought about it for a while, and immediately sent an apology text message to Zhou Yang, and after sending the text message, she began to send an apology email to Zhou Yang again, and conducted a series of in-depth reviews.

From the original, from the company's interests, from all aspects.....

For the next two days, Xue Ning worked with this apprehension while checking the echoes of Zhou Yang's emails and text messages.

She did not receive a reply, nor did she receive an appointment

The message of He's email, when I occasionally called Xu Mei to ask about Zhou Yang's status, Xu Mei's reply was that Mr. Zhou had been busy.

She didn't even know what Mr. Zhou was doing...... Waiting is often unsettling.

She even wanted to go to Lao Mei as soon as possible and apologize to Zhou Yang in person.

However, on the third day, Zhang Xiaoya hurriedly ran over and looked at her excitedly with her mobile phone.

"It's back, it's back, Mr. Zhou is back..... "What's back?"

"Mailbox, quick, open mailbox, it's a new animation plan!" "Good!"

The two little girls opened the mailbox with excitement, and then Xue Ning saw a new email appear on the mailbox.

After clicking on the email, it is a document with a thickness of more than 500M. Open the file.....

The two saw four words. "Slam Dunk".

The two then stared at the profile.

[After Zhao Yingmu, a red-haired delinquent boy who was dumped by 50 female students in junior high school, was promoted to Shonan High School, he fell in love at first sight with Liu Wanqing, a girl of the same grade he met by chance. In anticipation of Wanqing, Sakuragi, who doesn't know anything about basketball rules, joins the basketball team. Driven by the rigorous training of Wanqing's older brother, the captain of the basketball team, Cho Gang-heon, and the sense of confrontation ignited by the "super newcomer" Shen Chuanfeng, Sakuragi's hidden talent in his body was finally revealed, and at the same time, he was also conquered by the charm of basketball.....]

After reading the introduction, the two clicked on the characters in it for the first time. After the two of them watched it, they were instantly shocked!

Time seems to be the least valuable thing. March 15th.

"Liao Zhai Painted Skin" was finally painted under the watchful eye with an astonishing box office of 800 million.

After the movie was painted, the special effects company behind the movie was officially picked up by netizens.

The name of that company was "Pioneer", and the company was always Zheng He, a man of the same name who was a famous navigator in the Ming Dynasty.

was once looked down upon, and even filmmakers in the industry unconsciously formed a concept of "domestic special effects are garbage", which seems to have been broken at this moment.

Domestic special effects do not seem to be as garbage as imagined, and they are on the rise.

The movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is like a good advertisement, which has pushed "Pioneer Special Effects" to the hot search, and countless Chinese filmmakers have become interested in this special effects company and have begun to find ways to contact "Pioneer Special Effects.....

But it's weird.....

"Trailblazer Special Effects" seems to be mysterious, and it doesn't take orders, and it's not even interested in other films, let alone the producers and directors who come all the way to talk about collaborations.

Someone went to the "Pioneer Special Effects" company and squatted for a day or two.....

But what is very speechless is that the entire "Pioneer Special Effects" company only has a small storefront, a front desk and a few finances.

You can't even contact the boss Zheng He at all, and after you finally contact the boss, the other party's response is only a simple sentence.

"Sorry, I can't take orders at the moment."

This kind of awesome power left everyone speechless.

When there were more rejections, gradually these filmmakers began to find less.....

However, there are no fewer revelations about the "pioneer special effects" on the Internet, but they can be seen every day in the technology and film circles of China.

Someone broke the news that this is a special effects company from Hollywood, which is essentially a company controlled by the famous Hollywood special effects company "Weta Special Effects", and Zheng He is just a part-time worker.....

Someone broke the news that this was a company acquired by Zhou Yang last year, and all the special effects teams of this company were involved in the production of the movie "Spider-Man.....

Others mysteriously said that in fact, this company is not controlled by Weta Company, but Zhou Yang specially invited talents from Weta Company to help guide ......

·...··

Countless revelations have made netizens not know whether it is true or false. But they are conscious

Got to one thing......

That is, Zhou Yang seems to have really disappeared these days!

Except for the screenwriter of "Eavesdropping", which was released on the 15th, Zhou Yang seems to have no new news.

Like the "Trailblazer" special effects company.

Although there is no news about Zhou Yang on the Internet, the rumors or revelations have continued!

[He was suppressed by Hollywood, but he refused to return to China, he still had to hold on to Lao Mei, insisting on filming his "Spider-Man", I don't know how long it will last......]

[I heard that Zhou Yang has some financial problems over there, and there is no money to invest in other projects......]

[He encountered a predicament, I have a friend in Laomei who said that Zhou Yang's health is worried, he often stays up late to make movies, and he has been in the hospital several times.....]

【】

Similar revelations have come one after another......

But there doesn't seem to be any good news here. It was the evening of March 16th.

At the 80th Academy Awards, the Best Nomination was announced.

James. Bonthe's "Jaws" and "Time Travel," two films that topped the world cinema scene last year, were nominated for the awards.

In addition to these two films, the popular "Brokeback Mountain" was also nominated for the Academy Awards, and the screenwriter was impressively listed, in addition to the screenwriter J, the Chinese movie star Zhao Zhen was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor.

After the announcement of the Academy Awards, it set off a sensation in the Chinese film circle, and they all said that this year's Oscars was a wonderful night of dragon fighting......

After the award company, the major video platforms have tried every means to contact the Academy Awards, hoping to get the live broadcast authorization.

But it's a pity......

The Oscars official doesn't seem to be interested in Huaxia's video website, none of them have any authorization, and if they want to watch the live broadcast of the Oscars, filmmakers can only go over the wall, or live broadcast through the text and photos of some overseas enthusiastic netizens.

""Eavesdropping" premiered with a box office of 30 million, and it exploded again!" "Oh."

"Mr. Zhou, are you really not going to the Oscars?" "No...... ＂

"Mr. Zhou, there is also bad news, the movies exported by our company are the movies screened in Xingyang Overseas Cinemas, and they are all on the street, Xingyang Overseas Cinemas have lost money this quarter, and they have lost a lot, and the person in charge of Mr. Miao's side has begun to be unbearable...... Mr. Zhou, do you want to discuss with Mr. Miao to close some theaters?"

"Hold on a little longer."

Evening.

The sunset fills the sky.

Zhou Yang heard very bad news on the plane. Zhou Yang closed his eyes.

This year's winter is not cold, but in spring, it is too cold.
