Life is wonderful.

Some people can share prosperity and prosperity, but they cannot share adversity.

Some people can share in adversity, but not prosperity.

Liang Whale also experienced team differences within the studio, and only then did he have a deeper understanding.

When their studio was penniless, they had nothing, the only thing they had was the craft of drawing and the passion for animation.

The original five-person studio entrepreneurial team came together with a passion for animation.

During the time when they couldn't find investment, they went through the toughest entrepreneurial phase together.

After getting Fang Xing's investment, the studio has a clear goal and a foundation for making animated films.

After the release of "Spirited Away", the five people in their studio became the object of capital overnight.

Countless investment firms want to invest in their studios, offering a lot of conditions that they would not have dared to think of before.

For them, happiness came so suddenly.

Seemingly overnight, they became the hottest characters in the animation industry.

"Spirited Away" brought them wealth, honor, and applause.

They went from penniless to hot in the time of an animated movie.

In the face of the temptation that comes to them, most people can't resist the temptation, and they are only one of the majority.

Not only the pursuit of capital, but also many big animation companies have contacted them and promised generous salaries and positions.

In the end, after the five members of the studio's entrepreneurial team ate a loose meal, they each took the investment and went their separate ways.

"We are very happy to have worked with all of you, and although it was very busy during the production of Spirited Away, it was very hot and white, but looking back, it is still very emotional......"

Liang Whale raised his beer glass, exhaled and continued: "After drinking this cup, we will go our separate ways and continue to pursue what we want from the bottom of our hearts."

"Wealth, dreams, life, honor, everything is beautiful.

"Although we won't open a studio together in the future, there will definitely be opportunities to cooperate in the future, so I'll do it first!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his beer glass and poured it.

The other four joined in their glasses.

Although the five of them have their own places to go and no longer open studios together, they are still friends.

……

In the end, Liang Whale and Zhou Pengyu, the art supervisor in the entrepreneurial team, took a part of the animators who were willing to follow them to join the animation company "Nebula Animation" acquired by Fang Xing.

Wang Hongyuan, the colorist in the team, accepted the invitation of a big animation company in the industry and joined the painting technology.

The remaining two studio founders accepted the investment of Dingsheng Capital and Pengcheng Capital, and registered the studio as an animation company "Shengtian Animation" and operated independently.

Dingsheng Capital and Pengcheng Capital also invested in new animation projects, handed over to "Shengtian Animation" for production, and soon began preliminary preparations.

……

The other side.

The animation company acquired by Fang Xing was renamed "Nebula Animation".

Liang Jing and Zhou Pengyu joined as the company's leadership.

After getting acquainted with the company, Liang Whale couldn't wait to start a new project.

After all, the previous team members already have new animation projects in the works, and he hopes to start a new project as soon as possible.

Fang Xing was not in a hurry to let them make a new animated movie.

After all, "Nebula Animation" was originally an animation company on the verge of bankruptcy, and the animation team brought over by Liang Whale from the studio was not large.

The number of animators in "Nebula Animation" is not enough, and the preparation progress will be slow to start a new animated film now.

Therefore, Fang Xing sent the HR team of Ark Culture to work with Liang Whale to recruit people first and expand the team size of "Nebula Animation".

During the recruitment period, "Nebula Animation" first took over some outsourced animation work.

Outsourcing is a very common job in the animation industry, and the main source of income for many small companies is to outsource animation production.

"Nebula Animation" has just been acquired, and it will take a while to optimize the company's structure, and wait for the company's animation production level to meet the requirements before starting a new project.

……

After the cross-shareholding of Ark Culture and Penguin Pictures, it has been convenient in many ways.

However, there is still a long way to go to make Ark Culture a giant company in the entertainment industry.

Fang Xing never puts his eggs in one basket, so Ark Culture still needs to find more help, especially from the national level.

A few months ago, Fang Xing inquired.

Jiangning Town, Ningyun District, East China Sea, is planning to build a cultural industry park.

According to the plan of Ningyun District, it is planned to build an industrial park with multicultural integration including writers' village, film and television culture, and ethnic culture in the cultural industry park.

Fang Xing had considered placing the headquarters of Ark Culture in this cultural industry park in Ningyun District a few months ago.

However, this is a local planning project, and it is not something that can be put in if the headquarters is placed in the Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park.

Fang Xing had been in contact with the Cultural Industry Park Planning Office of Ningyun District before and learned some basic information.

However, at that time, the new album had just been released, and "Spirited Away" had not yet been released.

At that time, the valuation of Ark Culture was only 250 million, and although it was in good financial condition, it did not have a lot of funds.

If you want to arrange the company's headquarters in the Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park and get the attention of the leaders of Ningyun District, you must make a big move.

Now that the box office of "Spirited Away" is out, Ark Culture can get a box office share of 600 million.

Of course, the 600 million will not arrive immediately, but will not arrive one after another after the theater collects the payment.

With these 600 million, many plans can be launched.

Fang Xing found a famous designer in the construction industry to design a Ark Cultural Headquarters Building, and then set up a team to be responsible for the headquarters building project.

After writing the plan, take the plan and visit the planning office of the cultural industry park in Ningyun District.

Fang Xing plans to approve a piece of land in the cultural industry park in Ningyun District to build the Ark Cultural Headquarters Building and the headquarters park, which is expected to take three years with a total investment of 2 billion.

The 2 billion project is a very large project.

Ark culture doesn't even have 2 billion now.

That's not a problem, though.

Bank loans, as well as revenue for the next three years, can support this project in many ways.

The 2 billion project is enough for the leaders of Ningyun District to pay attention to.

What Fang Xing needs now is the support of local leaders, which is the most powerful boost.

The reason for choosing the cultural industry park in Ningyun District.

Fang Xing had also considered it, and he had already inquired before making this decision.

Now the leader of Ningyun District is very capable and very courageous.

The cultural industry park in Ningyun District is a key project in Ningyun District in the next ten years.

As a cultural company, Ark Culture just meets the requirements of the Cultural Industry Park and directly brings a 2 billion project.

In addition, after the headquarters of Ark Culture is placed in Ningyun District, it will bring a large amount of tax revenue to Ningyun District in the future.

If this project can be successful, it will be one of the top five major projects in the Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park.

……

Just as Fang Xing expected.

This "Ark Cultural Headquarters Building Plan" was quickly handed from the Cultural Industry Park Planning Office to the desk of the top leader in Ningyun District.

Because a 2 billion project is no longer something that the Cultural Industry Park Planning Office can decide, it needs to be decided by the top leader of Ningyun District.

Of course, a 2 billion project is not something that can be decided by making a decision.

A week after the proposal was handed in.

Fang Xing received an invitation to visit the Cultural Industry Park in Ningyun District.

This situation is completely expected.

Fang Xing only took Qiao Yinghong and went to visit the Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park.

This time I want to meet the leaders of Ningyun District, and I need to be more steady.

Qiao Yinghong has seen the world, is also very stable, and has no problem communicating.

Wednesday at nine a.m.

Fang Xing and Qiao Yinghong took the company's business car and came to the Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park.

In the planning office of the cultural industry park, I met several leaders of Ningyun District.

The Chief of Staff immediately made a presentation.

Among the several district leaders, there is a tall and thin middle-aged man with eyes like torches, who is the leader of Ningyun District, named Liu Jian'an.

Fang Xing went up to shake hands with Liu Jian'an, the leader of Ningyun District, and then the group went to visit the Cultural Industry Park together.

The construction of the cultural industry park has begun, and it has begun to take shape in three years.

The next step is to bring in the cultural industry.

However, the cultural industry park in Ningyun District is not required for all industries, and there are also requirements for the introduction of cultural industries.

Fang Xing visited the Cultural Industry Park, during which he chatted with Liu Jian'an, the leader of Ningyun.

"I heard that Ark Culture is a subsidiary of the Penguin Group?" While chatting, Liu Jian'an asked a seemingly casual question.

Hearing this question, Fang Xing was not surprised.

In fact, I had expected that this matter would definitely be asked.

When Ningyun District received the plan for the Ark Cultural Headquarters Building, it was impossible to blindly accept the 20 billion project.

Ningyun District must have investigated the background of the Ark culture in advance.

An enterprise that dares to invest in a project of 2 billion yuan, there are not many in the entire East China Sea.

The names of these companies are basically like thunder.

However, the name Ark Culture is not very familiar.

The reason is also very simple, it has only been two and a half years since the Ark Culture was registered.

A company, two and a half years, is usually just getting started.

Ark Culture is a special case, it is already an existence that can win 2.5 billion box office with one animated movie.

Hearing Liu Jian'an ask about the relationship between Ark Culture and Penguin Pictures, Fang Xing smiled and replied: "The cross-shareholding of Ark Culture and Penguin Pictures has nothing to do with Penguin Group itself. ”

Penguin Pictures is a subsidiary of Penguin Group, and Ark Culture and Penguin Pictures are cross-owned.

Ark culture and the Penguin Group really have no direct relationship.

Fang Xing paused and added: "Ark Culture operates independently and is not under the jurisdiction of other companies. As for the cross-shareholding with Penguin Pictures, it is also for the development of the company. ”

Liu Jian'an has been engaged in economic construction for decades, but he has never seen anything.

He knows too well what difficulties Ark Culture, a new emerging company with great potential, is really facing.

The Ark culture has a lot of potential, but the company is too young, has no connections, no background.

In the eyes of capital, Ark culture is a piece of fat.

A large herd of jackals, tigers and leopards wanted to pounce and bite off a piece of meat from the Ark culture.

Therefore, after Liu Jian'an read the information of Ark Culture, he already knew the real purpose of Ark Culture and Penguin Pictures' cross-shareholding.

In the same way, he knows more about the purpose of Ark Culture's intention to enter the Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park.

This is to find shelter at the local level, to drive away those wolf-like predators of capital.

Liu Jian'an is a very bold leader, he likes capable young people, and hates the ugly appearance of capital predators.

He planned the cultural industry park in Ningyun District, and also had the idea of supporting the cultural industry in Ningyun District.

Now, Fang Xing wants to enter the cultural industry park.

In all respects, Ark Culture meets the requirements of the Cultural Industry Park.

Of course, there is a premise that Ark Culture can afford the 2 billion project.

Liu Jian'an's face was silent, and then asked: "I read the information, the valuation of your Ark Culture is about 1 billion, and the project that plans to invest 2 billion is too big." ”

Since Fang Xing dared to hand over a plan for an investment of 2 billion, he was already fully prepared.

If you consider your own secrets, it is not difficult to invest 2 billion yuan in three years to build the Ark Cultural Headquarters Building.

However, Fang Xing couldn't explain it like this.

"Secretary Liu, I have done revenue analysis in the music, film and television drama industry in the past ten years. With the current songs, film and television drama content of Ark Culture, in the next ten years, there will be at least 500 million revenue ......"

Fang Xing took out the plan prepared in advance: "This is still the case where I will not do anything from now on." And the animated film that has just been released will have a box office share of 600 million.

"After the movie is broadcast on the Internet, it is expected that there will be 300 million yuan.

"Even if I don't apply for a bank loan, I can solve half of the 2 billion investment now.

"In the next three years, I believe that the project of 2 billion yuan will not be a problem."

Liu Jian'an smiled, and there was no explanation for Fang Xing.

However, he has seen too many companies that take too many steps and can only go bankrupt and liquidate in the end.

After all, it is impossible to make money on all projects.

If an enterprise has problems with its financial situation, it only needs a loss-making project, which will lead to the rupture of the company's capital chain and eventually bankruptcy and liquidation.

Therefore, Liu Jian'an only looks at the results and never listens to entrepreneurs.

Of course, he is indeed very optimistic about the Ark culture.

After all, Ark Culture is indeed a high-quality cultural enterprise now, and it must find a way to attract it to the industrial park.

The specific size of the project to invest in can be discussed.

"Fang Xing, have you ever thought about reducing the investment amount of the project, such as 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Liu Jian'an made a suggestion.

The 10000000000000 project, although it is not small, cannot reach the goal that Fang Xing really wants to achieve.

Fang Xing thought for a moment and replied: "Secretary Liu, otherwise, the project will be prepared according to 2 billion, and the industrial park office will supervise it at any time." If there are any problems with the project, you can call it off at any time.

"It's a three-year project, step by step, but the plan has to be arranged first.

"Otherwise, after the planning, it will be more troublesome to increase the project land."

The land that can be approved for a project of 2 billion yuan and a project of 1 billion yuan is completely different.

Liu Jian'an smiled and said: "It's good for young people to have momentum, but it's not good if they have too much momentum." ”

Fang Xing knew what he was worried about, and put forward a plan: "Secretary Liu, I have an idea, the industrial park will grant me two pieces of land." After I have completed the first phase of the project, I will start the second phase of the project. If the first phase of the project is not completed, the industrial park will take back the land for the second phase of the project at any time. ”

Liu Jian'an showed a smile on his face, but he didn't answer the sentence.

Such an important decision, as a leader, he could not agree on the spot, and he still needed to go back and study it carefully.

However, Fang Xing could see from the smile on his face that this matter was basically done.
