"Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" is very popular, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most out-of-the-circle animation in recent years.

This is the envy of many animation companies. Fengyuan Animation Company, one of the top ten animation companies in China.

Of course, although it is said that it is the top ten, this top ten animation company is different from the three major entertainment companies with uncontroversial titles.

In the current Chinese circle, it is estimated that there are close to 20 companies that claim to be the top ten animation companies, or more.

Everyone likes to put this name on themselves. Of course, the most important thing is that there is no authoritative organization to divide and rank the so-called top ten animation companies.

In addition, in fact, most of the animation companies are not very good. Everyone is the same, they don't make any money, and they don't have any fame.

Naturally, there is not much difference in the level of strength, which causes everyone to feel that they can be counted in the top ten.

The cherry animation that was not entertained by Tongji at the beginning, in fact, said the same thing to the outside world. But now, cherry animation is basically not mentioned.

Because compared with the top ten animation companies in China, it is not as famous as the animation company under Tongji Entertainment.

......

"Mr. Bai, why is this cherry animation, it feels like it can be popular in whatever it is?"

"There are only two movies and one drama in total, and they have all gotten such a high degree of popularity." When Bai Wentai heard the words of his subordinates, he replied directly: "Aren't you talking nonsense? ”

"If we can have the help of Tongji Entertainment and Xu Ji's animation script, we can do it." Bai Wentai actually understands cherry animation quite well.

Before, he had also met Yu Longwu a few times. This person's evaluation in his heart is actually that of a stupid idealist.

I don't think about how to run the company well and make money every day. On the contrary, I have always had the idea of wanting to make a big animated movie.

The final result was exactly what he expected. The company was completely dragged down by a big-budget animated film.

It has reached the point where it is about to go bankrupt and sell the company. But what he never expected was that Cherry Animation was acquired.

then disappeared for more than half a year, and finally suddenly became famous with a box office hit "The Return of the Great Sage".

This time, it was a successful hit of "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year". It's like it's open.

As far as he knew, the personnel of Cherry Animation hadn't actually changed much. Yu Longwu is still in charge.

The only thing that can be explained is that the problem lies with Tongji Entertainment, the company that acquired Cherry Animation.

Although he knew Xu Ji before, he also knew it. But in fact, I don't know much about Xu Ji.

I don't think I will have anything to do with the other person. But this has been a hit for several animated movies in a row, and even the animation company acquired by Tongji Entertainment in the United States has produced a "Dream Travel".

It's impossible to know Xu Ji now. And although he has never shown it on the surface, he is actually very envious of Yu Longwu in his heart.

After all, Yu Longwu is naturally not the only one who wants to make an animated movie. In the past, Bai Wentai was actually an aspiring young man with ideals.

It's just because of realistic factors that his current company is basically making some toddler-oriented animations at the bottom of the level in order to survive.

"Then Mr. Bai, will our project of Journey to the West continue?" The subordinate also hesitated to ask at this time.

The main reason is that he feels that in fact, more than half of the Journey to the West fever brought by "The Return of the Great Sage" has passed. In this case, their project is still in the project approval stage, and the script has not been fully formed, and production has not started for a long time.

When the production is completed, there will be no advantage in following the trend when it is released. Bai Wentai also fell into hesitation at this time.

The most important thing is that after the box office explosion of "The Return of the Great Sage", many companies and studios in the entire Chinese animation circle wanted to follow suit.

But everyone has obviously forgotten that it is indeed simple to follow the trend. It's just that there is a good script like "The Return of the Great Sage", even if you want to reach that level of production, the project cycle will not be short.

Most of the popularity of following the trend has long passed.

"Let's stop for a moment."

"We'll wait and see." Bai Wentai opened his mouth and replied. In fact, his heart has been shaken a lot at this time.

Now for the animation company of the whole of Huaxia, although it will not be affected by the rise of Cherry Animation.

You can still make some toddler-oriented animations as a profitable project. But after all, cherry animation opened everyone's eyes to other possibilities.

"The Return of the Great Sage" has a box office of more than one billion, which is completely astronomical in the eyes of their animation companies.

It is the level of profitability that they can achieve by doing a lot of children's animations. How can it be said that it is not blushing.

It's just that although it's simple, it's really done, but it's still full of resistance. It's a little too difficult to replicate the success of Cherry Anime.

And Bai Wentai saw it very clearly, the key to this is still the lack of a trace or Tongji entertainment.

...... Of course, Bai Wentai really wanted to go over to Tongji Entertainment. This is a pretty good optimal solution for their company.

But the key is that the current Fengyuan animation is not the cherry animation that has gone bankrupt and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Not to the point where there is no way back. And Bai Wentai suddenly changed from the original company boss to a part-time worker, and he was still a little reluctant.

What's more, it's all his wishful thinking now. As far as he knows, the current Cherry Animation has expanded to recruit people several times.

In addition, there are branches outside of the United States. Even if he took the initiative to ask the other party to buy it, it is estimated that Tongji Entertainment would not be very reluctant.

In short, the current Bai Wentai is very envious of Cherry Animation, and feels that that is his ideal company development.

But I clearly know that I can't do the level of cherry animation. If you do try it, the end result will only be to plunge the company into the red.

Whether this risk is worth taking is very entangled in him. Maintaining the existing project and business philosophy, although the company will not have a chance to soar, it will still be able to maintain the status quo.

...... The subordinate saw Bai Wentai's tangled expression, and seemed to have guessed what his boss was thinking, and proposed: "Mr. Bai, why don't we go and see if we can buy a script for Xu Ji?" ”

"With Xu Ji's script, then maybe we can really try to make our own animated film." Bai Wentai just glanced at the other party.

Don't even bother to answer. Would he not have known the importance of Xu Ji's script? If he could buy Xu Ji's script, would he still be entangled in this for so long?

The point is that you can't buy it at all! Xu Ji didn't have any sales scripts to learn from. There are more people and companies who want to buy Xu Ji's super first-line screenwriter script, and even more than just their animation companies.

The film and television companies are even more grasping. I haven't heard of success. And Xu Ji is not only the identity of the screenwriter, but also the boss of Tongji Entertainment.

In such a situation, how could Tongji Entertainment be short of their money? In terms of the financial strength of Fengyuan Animation, it is not enough to even compare with the other party.

"Alright, that's it for now." Bai Wentai waved his hand and motioned for the other party to go out. He needs to think about it.

If he can, he still hopes to talk to Tongji Entertainment. Of course, it would be best if we could cooperate.

It's really not good, his shares can also be sold, and being a minority shareholder or something is not a bad thing. Anyway, I can eat meat with Tongji Entertainment, but at that time, the market value of Fengyuan Animation will only get higher and higher.

Even if the shares become smaller, they will only become more and more valuable. ...... At the same time, in Rongcheng at this time, Xu Ji did not pay attention to the situation after the online broadcast of "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year".

During this time, he has been writing the script carefully. The main reason is that the other party is Martin, and the director Xu Ji that Martin is looking for is not very trusting.

There is a high probability that it will be a small director who is not well-known. In this case, Xu Ji naturally has to pay attention to the script.

Including some key shots inside, as well as a lot of details and precautions, must be completely marked.

Although there will be people from Tongji Entertainment who will join the crew in the follow-up, the director Xu Ji still plans to use the director of the previous "Chainsaw".

If you want to gain a firm foothold in the United States and cultivate your own talents, it is indeed essential.

Martin had already come out of the hospital at this time, but he was still stubborn, saying that he didn't feel spicy, and it was because of the first attempt that something went wrong.

Later, the people who pulled Tongji Entertainment went to eat hot pot a few more times. Don't say it, I really let this guy understand how to eat hot pot.

I'm still sweating profusely, but I'm clearly starting to enjoy it.

"Xu, hot pot is the best food I've ever tasted!"

"From now on, this will be my second home!" After seeing Xu Ji, Martin said with some excitement.

However, Xu Ji still kindly reminded the other party. Don't forget what you're here for.

"By the way, I forgot if you didn't say it."

"The script is ......" Martin remembered to ask after hearing Xu Ji's words.

Of course, in fact, during this time, he also saw that Tongji Entertainment was indeed quite busy. The company in Huaxia is also quite large.

Especially when I heard that there were four or five projects going on at the same time in the hands of Tongji Entertainment at this time, I was also very surprised.

Although it can't catch up with Paiki Pictures, it still seems to him to be quite a risky behavior. What's more, in addition to Huaxia, Xu Ji has begun to enter the American market.

Obviously, the other party's ambitions are not small. Of course, the stronger Tongji Entertainment is, the happier Martin feels.

After all, he is now the person in charge of Tongji Entertainment in the United States. In just over a week, I have been completely familiar with many people in Tongji Entertainment Company.

It looks like he's his own. Of course, this is certainly a good thing. Martin is not from China after all, and he was put in charge of the American side because Xu Ji thought that the other party knew more about the market over there and the rules of some circles.

Although he still trusts Martin, in the final analysis, he is still not like those old employees of Tongji Entertainment.

Now the other party has a sense of belonging to Tongji Entertainment, which is also a good thing. At the very least, don't worry too much about Martin deliberately cheating himself.

......

"In fact, the script of the new suspense film will do, similar to the previous "Chainsaw"."

"You don't need to invest a lot of money, just a few million dollars." Martin also said in a bit of a hurry at this time.

He was also worried that Xu Ji would not plan to give him another script. At this time, Martin was only interested in starting the filming of the next film.

Now his interests have completely changed, and he no longer wants to spend money and have fun every day. Compared with the full sense of accomplishment when he saw the movie hit the box office, he was no longer interested in other things.

Of course, in order to make Xu Ji believe in himself, this time he took the initiative to advance the film investment and did not need to be too high.

Even a script with an ultra-low investment cost like the previous "Saw Horror" is completely acceptable.

But to his surprise, Xu Ji spoke at this time.

"If that's the case, then you probably don't have a chance." Hearing Xu Ji's words, Martin was stunned.

He subconsciously felt that Xu Ji was planning to abandon him.

"Xu, why?!"

"Am I acting badly?"

"If there's something I'm not doing well, please tell me directly, and I can change it." Xu Ji looked at Martin who was anxious, but couldn't help laughing.

Then he reassured: "Don't worry Martin, I didn't mean that." Martin looked at Xu Ji with a puzzled expression.

"I mean, if you want a low-budget movie script, there's not much of a chance."

"Because of the script I wrote this time, it is estimated that the investment will be very high." After Martin heard Xu Ji's words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he misunderstood what Xu Ji meant just now. But he also reacted, and asked with some surprise: "Xu, you mean, the script of the movie has been written?" Xu Ji smiled and nodded.

"I called you over this time, and I was going to give you the script." Martin is not sad at this time, after all, the biggest task of coming to China this time is to get the script from Xu Ji.

Now, it's done. And I also ate food like hot pot, which was worth it.

While Martin was overjoyed, he also subconsciously asked: "By the way, just now you said that the investment in this movie will be very high." ”

"What's the budget?" Xu Ji replied casually: "One hundred and fifty million." Hearing Xu Ji's words, Martin was completely stunned.

Then he asked tentatively, "Huaxia coins?" Because Xu Ji didn't say anything about the unit just now, Martin naturally subconsciously thought that it would be Huaxia coins.

But what he didn't expect was that Xu Ji opened his mouth and said, "Of course not, I'm talking about US dollars." ”......
