Seeing everyone like this, Yu Yi only felt sad and uncomfortable.

Then he said solemnly: "I can guarantee the problem of funding, but you also have to guarantee that you can make the previous style of animation, can you do this?" ”

Hearing this, the crowd roared, "If you can do it, you will definitely be able to." ”

Seeing this, Yu Yi laughed and said, "Okay, then let's go and sit in the room first, I'm afraid that after a while, your real treasures will collapse to the ground excitedly, then I will be sad." ”

Hearing this, many people showed a relieved expression on their faces, it had been a long time since they had this feeling, and it seemed that the last time they had this feeling was several years ago.

Seeing everyone like this, Chen Hong also felt the same way, lamenting the passage of time, and lamenting that the years finally wiped out all existence.

But it's good now, with Yu Yi's support, I believe they will continue to go, and I believe that Huaguo's cartoons can also have a development and a bright future.

After everyone came to the conference room, Yu Yi took the lead and said, "I wonder if you have any phone number from Elder Yan?" You can contact the old man and see if he is still willing to come back? ”

An old man raised his hand and said: "Director Yu, I'll call Lao Yan, he must be very willing, after all, this is what he has always been looking forward to, I think his enthusiasm for cartoons has not changed." ”

The other person didn't know what to think, raised his hand and said, "Director Yu, the old man is still alive, should we contact his old man?" ”

Yu Yi thought for a while and said: "I know the old man, but he is now in his 80s, is he still willing to go out of the mountain again?" ”

Suddenly, someone replied: "Director Yu, the old man is very familiar with this industry, and it is no problem for his old man to come here to give us some guidance, and his enthusiasm for this industry is not comparable to ordinary people." ”

Yu Yi nodded and said, "That's okay, you contact Elder Yan and Elder Te, let's talk first, I also want to know the development of Shangmei Factory over the years." ”

In the subsequent chat, Yu Yi had a thorough understanding of the development of Shangmei Factory, from the initial development in the hands of the four old men to the current experience.

After listening, Yu Yi felt a lot of emotion.

From 1920 to 1950, Shangmei Factory was a preliminary sprout, creating the first domestic animated feature "Iron Fan Princess", which shocked the whole of Asia.

From 1950 to 1966, it was considered the Silver Age, and classic cartoons such as "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother" and "Havoc in Heaven" were created.

From 1977 to 1994, it was a golden age, and excellent cartoons such as "Nezha in the Sea", "Black Cat Sheriff", and "The Story of Avanti" were created.

From 1994 to the present, it has been a bit of a decline, with a strong copper smell in the film, except for "Baolian Lantern", there are no particularly good works.

After a long time, two gray-haired old men came to the conference room, and when they saw someone coming, Yu Yi felt that these two should be Old Man Yan and Old Man Te, right?

Yu Yi stepped forward and was about to help the two old men sit down, but the two old men waved their hands and said: "Director Yu, I can work for another twenty years, and now my body is still very good, thank you, thank you Director Yu for being willing to save us from the beauty factory." ”

After speaking, the two old men grabbed Yu Yi's hand tightly with both hands, as if they wanted to show their gratitude to Yu Yi.

At the same time, many old people present shouted excitedly: "Special factory director, factory director Yan." ”

The two old men greeted everyone with a smile, most of the people here are their employees, they have been working under them for an unknown amount of time, they are all old acquaintances, and many of them are married or they have issued letters of introduction.

Looking at the two white-haired old men, Yu Yi couldn't bear it for a while, is it really good to let such an old man go out of the mountain again?

Is Huaguo's animation really only able to be maintained by such an old man?

Seeing Yu Yi like this, the two old men who have lived for so long, how can they not understand Yu Yi's thoughts?

The old man laughed and said: "Director Yu, the two of us old guys also know that we are two pounds now, and we can't do those physical jobs, even if we want to do it, we can't do it, so we can only do some guidance for you." ”

Old Man Yan nodded and said, "We really can't do it anymore, but we can still talk about it, and we can still shine." ”

Yu Yi laughed and said: "I'm really worried, if you two are tired because of this incident, this is not mine.

Since this is the case, then I will rest assured, you two will sit first, since you two are also here, then let's discuss the development direction of Shangmei Factory in the future. ”

Immediately, someone gave up their seats to the two old men.

Everyone waited for Yu Yi's speech with a serious face, after all, this is related to the development of Shangmei Factory in the future, and they also want to know what plans this very set director can make.

After seeing the two of them sit down, Yu Yi said, "Since everyone is here, let's talk,

Personally, I think that "Baolian Lantern" is not bad, it is because of the times, not ours, so it can be done, but it can't be all copper.

In addition, I personally like the previous works, because they represent the inheritance of the country, the culture of the country, and what we have to do is to pass on this thing. ”

Suddenly, someone asked puzzledly: "Director Yu, I think "Baolian Lantern" is very successful, but why can't the audience accept it?" ”

Yu Yi said with a smile: "Because of the times, you also know that in the past few years of cultural development in China, the audience is still stuck in the previous culture, and their ability to accept trendy things is still poor.

Therefore, it is not a problem of our ability, it is a problem of audience acceptance, if this film is about ten years in the future, the audience will accept it very much. ”

Everyone pondered for a while, and then nodded in approval, as if this was indeed the case.

Old Man Yan frowned and asked: "Director Yu, I am personally very grateful for your support to Shangmei Factory, but it is not a matter if it goes on like this, I can't let you support it all the time, right?"

If this is the case, it is nothing more than a lingering breath, and there is no need to continue. ”

Many people looked thoughtful.

Yu Yi laughed and said: "I naturally have consideration for this, and now the Chinese people really can't accept such a commercial animation, but we can't help but do it, but now the low-level is not very mature,

My idea is that we can make a batch of cartoons of the same style before, and I will contact CCTV and strive to let them open a children's channel, so that our works can also return to their original costs, and even some of them can make money. ”

Many people frowned, a little puzzled by Yu Yi's approach.

The old man frowned and asked, "Director Yu, can you really make money on this kind of children's channel?" ”

Seeing this, Yu Yi understood something, and couldn't help laughing: "You may not know much about the current operation of TV stations, they rely on advertising revenue, and they make a lot of money.

As long as the plot is excellent, whether it's a TV series or a cartoon, everyone can accept it, and, I think, if the cartoon is the style we had before, many parents will be very willing, right? ”

Hearing this, everyone had a proud look on their faces, after all, they created it single-handedly,

Yu Yi continued: "Secondly, now our team is not in charge, although the main positions here are everyone, but after all, our physical strength can't keep up, of course, Zhu has never had the idea of dismissing everyone,

What I mean is that we can recruit a group of young people with ideas, join in, and make the whole team energetic, so that we can continue to do it, and you can control the general direction of the cartoon. ”

Everyone in the room showed expressions of approval.

Old Man Yan said embarrassedly: "Director Yu, you may not know very well, there are very few young people nowadays who are willing to do this business, and they all want to go to the official crew." ”

Yu Yi said meaningfully: "What if our salary is high enough? I believe that an investment of 100 million yuan, excluding the expenses of cartoons and your salary, can be a lot, right? ”

Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly, they didn't think about it before, but because of the lack of funds, they couldn't achieve it, and now, the factory still owes many people's wages.

A middle-aged man said embarrassedly: "That, Director Yu, our factory still owes a lot of employees wages, and it has not been paid for a while." ”

Hearing this, some old people said indifferently: "That's not necessary, we are locals, our family has a house in the magic capital, although we don't have a lot of money, but we can still get by, and the money should be kept for cartoons." ”

Hearing this, many people echoed it, but some people showed embarrassment.

Yu Yi laughed and said: "That's not necessary, how can we say that it is also a company on the right track, and we can't do anything in arrears of wages, I will call the funds in a few days.

When the time comes, we will pay you an extra month's salary, which can be regarded as the factory's compensation for everyone, in addition, everyone can stay until now, they all have a deep affection for the factory, and everyone's wages will rise by fifty percent in the future. ”

Hearing this, many people showed excited expressions on their faces.

The first few people to speak also reacted at this time, not everyone is like themselves and others, and there are still people who have to rely on their wages to support their families, so they didn't say anything more.

Then Yu Yi pressed his hand and said: "The next thing is related to whether our factory can rise again in the future, I think everyone is no stranger to the special effects industry now, right?" ”

Old man Yan replied: "It's really not a stranger, over the years, I also understand, the cartoon is also real, and you have to see the special effects, but I'm sorry, our special effects were really not very brilliant before,

Since Director Yu plans to restart this plan, then I'll talk about it, at present, as far as I know, the best special effects are Hollywood companies, followed by Europe, Japan and South Korea.

The special effects company in Xiangjiang is also doing well, at least better than the special effects of several companies in China, if Director Yu wants to do special effects, I suggest contacting Xiangjiang. ”

Yu Yi nodded and said: "I plan to do the same, our company also has a special effects department, and it's okay, I'll let them come here together when the time comes, and I'm committed to doing a good job in special effects.

By the way, do you guys have any ideas for the next cartoon? Or what did you want to do but couldn't do? ”

Old Man Yan said embarrassedly: "I was going to take someone to make the god list before, but I couldn't do it for a while, so I delayed it." ”

Hearing Fengshen, Yu Yi thought of "Nezha" and "Jiang Ziya" in his mind.

Thinking of something, he shook his head and said: "Old man, we have to do the same, but as far as I know, with the current equipment and technology of our factory, it is still a little difficult to do this.

I mean we might as well do something simple, let our factory return to the audience's field of vision again, and when it's almost done, I think our special effects are almost done.

When the time comes to restart this program again, I think we'll have a lot of success. ”

Hearing this, many people showed a thoughtful look, what Yu Yi said was indeed reasonable, as far as the current situation is concerned, they do only have memories left in the hearts of the audience.

The old man's cloudy eyes revealed a hint of interest and asked, "I don't know what type Director Yu plans to do?" ”

Yu Yi smiled: "According to our previous style, we don't need to do something very alternative, we just need to make some popular science stories, after all, it is for the children's channel.

Next, I will do some popular science films such as table tennis, football, skiing, etc., I don't know what you think of this idea? ”

After listening to this, Old Man Yan's eyes lit up and said: "This is very good, we don't need to spend a lot, let everyone pick up the work that has been lost, we are very good at popular science cartoons." ”

The old man nodded and said: "I think so too, it's feasible, just recruit a group of new people to come in and let them get acquainted." ”

Yu Yi couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if you have ever thought about moving to the capital?" Our company is very big there, and you can also work in a different environment. ”

Many people showed embarrassed expressions.

Old man Yan said with a smile: "Factory director, we old guys have lived here for half our lives, and we are used to the alleys of the magic capital, and we are not used to living in the capital. ”

Yu Yi smiled: "It's okay, it's okay here, I'll give you a week's vacation in the next few days, you adjust your state, and then we need to do it drastically." ”

The meeting officially ended amid applause.

When Yu Yi was sitting in the office looking at the previous financial statements, Old Man Yan and Old Man Special were helped to walk in.

Then the two waved their hands to the people around them, and after closing the door, Mr. Yan asked, "Director, do you really think that the children's channel can make money?" ”

Yu Yi smiled: "You two can rest assured, I Yu Yi has not done a loss-making business, and in the future, the future of our Shangmei factory will definitely not be bad." ”

Looking at the suspicious expressions of the two, Yu Yi smiled and said, "I wonder if you two know?" ”

Both nodded at the same time.

Yu Yi continued: "Now it has begun to sprout, in my opinion, with the development of the times, everyone's spiritual enjoyment will become more and more heavy, and this industry will usher in vigorous development.

Some of them naturally can't be adapted into film and television dramas, but it is not difficult to adapt them into cartoons, even at the moment, the development of cartoons has a good market.

For example, children may not know much about the lives of Li Bai and Du Fu now, but if we adapt all these experiences into cartoons, can we increase their understanding?

If we tell them some interesting things about life in a popular way, will they find it interesting? In that case, will parents let their children watch TV?

And so on, I really think that the development of cartoons is definitely very promising, and we also have some money, we may lose a little money in the first few years, but in the future, we will definitely not lose money. ”

After hearing this, the two old men and Chen Hong thought about it, and then their eyes lit up and they nodded in approval.

The old man said with relief: "In this way, I am completely relieved, so it's good, in fact, looking at the decline of Shangmei Factory, those of us who took over this task from Wan Lao are very uncomfortable.

But fortunately, with you, we have a spiritual pillar again, as well as financial support, and I believe that the development of Shangmei Factory will definitely get better and better in the future. ”

Old Man Yan smiled: "Yes, I couldn't sleep all night during this time, and now I can finally sleep well." ”

Yu Yi laughed and said: "You two still have to worry about it, you two still need to grasp the overall situation in the future, I just need to be a hands-off shopkeeper." ”

After saying that, several people laughed at the same time.

On the way back to Beijing, Chen Hong looked at Yu Yi curiously.

Yu Yi smiled: "What's wrong?" Am you hooked on me? But it's okay, you can enjoy me at night. ”

Chen Hong smiled and said: "I find you more and more interesting now, but seriously, can cartoons really make money?" ”

Yu Yi smiled: "Will I still lie to you, if you don't believe it, you just wait and see." ”

Chen Hong shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I feel a little surprised by what you said, and no one has ever dared to say that." ”

Yu Yi smiled: "You just wait, we make sure we make a lot of money." ”

The next day, not long after Yu Yi sat down in the company, Cao Rong called: "Director Yu, can our crew prepare?" ”

Yu Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you in such a hurry?" Is the script ready? ”

Cao Rong said with a smile: "Now that the preparations are almost complete, we will wait for Director Yu's crew." ”

Yu Yi smiled: "Since this is the case, then you can come to the capital with the script, and we will also prepare for the casting of the crew." ”

Cao Rong said excitedly: "Okay, I'll come to the capital." ”

Yu Yi sighed, he was really busy, he didn't have much leisure time to play by himself, why was it so troublesome every day?

Immediately told Mr. Cai about the casting, and Mr. Cai smiled: "Mr. Yu, Mr. Wang has come over in the past few days, just right, can we choose these people together in this drama?" ”

Yu Yi thought for a while and said: "The male protagonist is Cao Rong's, the female protagonist is Gao Yuanyuan and Zeng Li, the reincarnation of the Buddha is my role, and the rest doesn't matter, by the way, Senior Brother Chen Daoming has been free recently?" ”

Mr. Cai thought for a while and said: "This person doesn't seem to have any film and television dramas recently, so I think he should be able to participate, but I heard that this one is very picky about scripts." ”

Yu Yi said mysteriously: "This role should be very suitable for him, but it is unknown whether he can play it well." ”

Mr. Cai asked curiously, "Not really, right?" This person's acting skills are second to none in China, and you can grasp any kind of role, right? ”

Yu Yi shook his head and smiled: "It's still a little difficult to play this role well, and the two-sided nature is very heavy, but let's take a look at it then, you can also prepare for the construction of the crew in the next few days." ”
