Chapter 280: Zixiao Palace, Talk!
Grace Animation is the cornerstone of Tianba Studio's expansion and continued survival, and it is also one of the studio's most stable sources of income.
Because of this, for the first Divine Grace Animation Production Competition, Chen Ba can be said to be exhausted, he should contribute money, he should contribute, and he did not dare to be sloppy.
The contest runs from January to mid-June, and the contestants come from all over the world, with no nationality, age limit, or subject matter......
It's easy!
From January to June, all entries that meet the criteria will appear on the event website, and voting will open in early June, and the 20 entries with the highest number of backers will be selected for the final decision of the core jury.
In addition to these 20 "audition" works, there are also 10 works that belong to the exclusive quota of "related households".
These 10 works will be jointly recommended by major animation companies, well-known animation websites, well-known animators, and the Divine Charity Animation Association.
Relationship accounts are a bit excessive.
Although these 10 places sound no different from related households, in fact, the reason why Chen Ba set aside these 10 places is mainly for those unpopular themes or niche theme works.
No way!
The early audition is too cruel, only looking at popularity and popularity, the audience votes only for those works they like, and it is impossible to vote for unpopular niche works.
In other words, some unpopular and niche charismatic animations will suffer a lot in this regard, even if the quality is high, no matter how deep and humanistic the plot is, there is a high probability that it will be eliminated.
Therefore, Chen Ba left behind.
Once there is such a work, the popularity and popularity are not as good as other works, but the quality is actually very high, then you can enter the jury's field of vision through the back door.
20 audition works + 10 recommended works, a total of 30 charismatic animations, one gold award work, five silver award works and ten excellence award works will be decided in the end, and the rest are all finalists.
In other words, after entering the jury, even if you don't get any blockbuster awards, you can still get a "finalist".
Finalist 100,000 RMB!
Excellence Award 500,000 yuan!
The silver award is 1 million yuan, and the gold award is 5 million yuan, and the unit is a soft sister coin!
Half of this money is sponsored by the Divine Grace Animation Association, and the other half is borne by Tianba Studio.
"Isn't there too few gold awards?"
Regarding the award arrangement of this competition, Yang Dong pondered: "Isn't it a pity to only award a gold award for those works that are difficult to distinguish?" ”
"You can also make double yolk eggs!"
"Besides, you think the number of Gold Awards is too small to meet the demand. But this competition is held once a year, so why is there a lot of one gold medal work a year, right? ”
Let's be honest.
Compared with Yang Dong's worrying worries, Chen Ba was worried about one Gold Award divine grace animation a year, is the frequency too high?
In the unlikely event that in a certain year, the output of Divine Charism's animation plummets, or the average quality is uneven, and it is difficult to select a qualified Gold Award work, wouldn't it be necessary to give the Gold Award to a work that only deserves to win a Silver Award in previous years?
"That's definitely going to happen."
Yang Dong said firmly: "Just look at the Oscars, is the quality of the best picture at every Oscar very high?" ”
No, no, no!
Although the gold content of the Oscar statuette is very high, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the best picture of some movies is "worthy of the name", and the best picture of some movies is "the general in the short man".
Hollywood's mature film industry can't produce a high-quality film stably every year, let alone charismatic animation.
So the situation that Chen Ba is worried about will definitely happen, but this is normal and not worth worrying about.
In a certain year, the charismatic animation is very stretched, and the gold award works are only at the level of the "Silver Award" or "Excellence Award" in previous years, so that's it!
Who let this year's market be sluggish and didn't produce a qualified gold medal work?
You can't just because the market is not good and there are no qualified gold award works, so you won't set up a gold award selection this year, right? There is no such reason, it should still be established, and the gold medal that should be awarded should still be awarded.
With only five million, Tianba Studio can still take it out......
"What if you can't take it out?"
"Then give up the sponsorship and naming rights, and let the Divine Grace Animation Association raise funds for sponsorship by itself!"
Chen Ba waved his hand and said, "I don't want that day, because when it really comes, it means that Tianba Studio has declined." ”
To be reasonable, if Tianba Studio really falls to the point that it can't get this money, there is no need for this competition to continue.
Because Tianba Studio is so miserable, the current situation of Divine Grace Animation can be imagined, what is the point of continuing to hold this competition?
……
Jiangning, Jinding Road.
At the door of a tea restaurant with ancient decoration, a signboard was erected, only to see that it read: Warmly celebrate the successful holding of the first Zixiao Palace Conference in Jiangning, and welcome the majority of Taoist friends to come to discuss the Tao!
This line of words is so conspicuous!
Passers-by, after catching a glimpse of this sign, cast curious glances into the restaurant.
What's that?
Zixiao Palace? Is your Zixiao Palace the Zixiao Palace I understand? Oh...... It turns out that the name of this restaurant is Zixiao Palace, which is disrespectful and disrespectful!
Lao Chen changed into a proper dress early in the morning, picked up the game peripherals he had just picked up from his son's company, a paper fan with the words Galaxy Emperor printed on the surface, and came to the outside of Zixiao Palace.
The waiter, dressed as a boy, stepped forward and asked as soon as he saw Lao Chen, "This great immortal, do you have an invitation?" ”
"Yes!"
Lao Chen's face did not change, and he handed over a big red gilt invitation letter, the boy glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It turns out that it is [I want to hold my grandson] senior, please inside, senior, your seat is in the first row......"
Following the boy's guidance, Lao Chen entered the banquet hall of Zixiao Palace.
The hall is very fairy-like, and the so-called seats are not chairs and stools, but real futons woven from cattails.
At this time, there were already many people in the hall, and everyone praised each other as friends, and they chatted energetically.
Lao Chen came to the first row, and as soon as he found a futon to sit down, he was gently poked in the shoulder.
"Daoyou's surname?"
"Don't give your surname Chen, game ID [I want to hold my grandson]!" Lao Chen replied politely.
"Ah...... It turned out to be a grandchild! Hello senior, my game ID is called [I really want to be Brother Ba's dog], you can just call me Xiao Li. ”
The young man who was the first to say hello was stunned when he heard this ID, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
[I want to hold my grandson]?
This ID is not ordinarily famous in "Xiuzhen Fantasy", as a great cultivator in the late stage of the Transformation of the Gods, and Lao Chen, who is also the law enforcement elder of the Refining Weapon Sect, almost every player knows it.
I want to hug my grandson, a player, the main one is a "krypton gold cultivator", it is said that the total amount of krypton gold in the game has approached 10 million, and he is a well-deserved top god.
And unlike other Shenhao players, [I want to hold my grandson] does not take the route of quick karma, and should not cultivate any evil, but takes the route of merit like ordinary players, and honestly accumulates merit to improve the realm of cultivation.
As far as players know, the meaning of holding their grandchildren's krypton gold is not to become stronger, but to refine the weapon......
That's right!
This senior is obsessed with refining, and Krypton Gold is almost always to buy various top-notch refining materials from the mall.
Moreover, he likes to give away the magic weapons and magic weapons he has refined to people who are destined, so he has a very high reputation in the cultivation world, and is quite loved and praised by everyone.
is also a meritorious monk in the Transformation Period, Xiao Li has naturally heard of Lao Chen's prestige, not only that, but he also received a medium-grade magic weapon from Lao Chen in the game.
But he never expected that the predecessor of "hugging his grandson" in reality turned out to be a middle-aged uncle, and he thought that with this nickname, this senior was estimated to be the image of a gray-haired grandfather.
When Xiao Li asked why he had such a nickname because Lao Chen didn't look very old, Lao Chen sighed.
"I just don't look very old, I'm actually in my fifties. People of my age basically have grandchildren, except for my son, who doesn't even have a girlfriend......"
"Ah, no, wouldn't it?"
Xiao Li was a little surprised.
Lao Chen can make tens of millions of krypton gold in the game, proving that the family strength is excellent, then his son is also a proper rich second generation, how can the rich second generation not find a girlfriend?
"Rich second generation?"
Hearing this, Lao Chen smiled: "You are wrong, I am not a rich generation of entrepreneurs, my son is, and he gave me the money to charge the game." ”
Is the son a rich generation?
Xiao Li admired it even more, but he didn't expect that the peer he had never met was not an idle rich second generation, but a self-made rich generation.
At this age, he started a successful business, and even his own father can put tens of millions of krypton money into the game, how much money did he make?
At the same time, Xiao Li was even more puzzled.
Such a bullish character, it stands to reason that there is no shortage of women around him, how can you listen to the meaning of this senior Chen, his son has no object yet?
"Harm, don't mention it!"
Lao Chen waved his hand and said, "My son is a workaholic, and there are not many single women in the company, so it has been delayed until now." ”
"The reason why I came to participate in this Zixiao Palace Dao Conference is that in addition to meeting with fellow Daoists, I also want to see if there is a suitable girl to introduce to my son."
"You've come to the right place!"
Hearing this, Xiao Li raised his eyebrows, pointed to the "female cultivator" camp next to him and whispered: "Senior, look, there are many beautiful fairies in today's Zixiao Palace Dao Conference, you can choose one to be your daughter-in-law......"
"Well, that's a lot."
Lao Chen glanced in the direction Xiao Li pointed, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Sure enough, it's the right place!
Today's Zixiao Palace Daoist Conference, the standard is formulated according to the "3,000 guests in Zixiao Palace", although it does not reach 3,000 people, but more than 1,000 people are designated to have.
Among the more than 1,000 Daoists, there are at least more than 300 female cultivators today, and most of them are not very old, anyway, they look like they are in their twenties.
Okay, okay, I have to hurry up and ask for contact information, and then go home and push it to my son and ask him what style he likes.
"Huh!"
Lao Chen, who was looking at his future daughter-in-law, suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of Taoist friends dressed in black, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Today's Dao Conference also invited karmic evil cultivators?" ”
"Well, it did."
Xiao Li explained: "The Lord of Zixiao Palace is merciful, whether it is a meritorious monk or a karmic evil cultivator, you can come to Zixiao Palace to listen to the Tao, the wine is free, and the fruit is self-picked. ”
"This Zixiao Palace Master ......"
Lao Chen pondered for a while and found that this guy was really a wonderful person.
The decoration of this restaurant in Zixiao Palace is not simple, and the location is also good, opening such a restaurant in the central city, there must be tens of millions of small ones.
As a result, tens of millions of dollars were smashed, not seeking to make money, but only to provide a place for the majority of Taoist friends to talk about the Tao and preach, and the magnitude of his writing was admirable.
Drinks are free, fruits are self-picked, and there is no limit to the object, whether it is a meritorious monk or a karmic cultivator, you can come, and the money spent on this is probably not a small amount......
A mountain is higher than a mountain!
Lao Chen thought about it, the inconspicuous boss behind this Zixiao Palace, I am afraid that his financial resources are comparable to that of his son.
Then here's the problem!
Does he have any daughters? Why don't you introduce yourself to your son? It's not impossible to marry or something!
Lao Chen, who was full of thoughts and just wanted to hug his grandson, now wants to ask no matter who he sees, "Do you have a daughter, can you introduce me to my son?" ”
No way, he's in too much of a hurry!
Every time I go to the square to dance with the old lady, I see that everyone is pushing a stroller, and Lao Chen is envious in his heart.
No, there are so many female cultivators here today, and if there is one that my son likes, I must sell it to him......
Lao Chen has already thought about it.
Zixiao Palace's Dao Conference, what is the Dao? As the name suggests, it is to invite some seniors who have "advanced cultivation" to come to the stage to tell everyone about the tricks of cultivation and share some experiences or something.
He has nothing to share!
When it was his turn to come to power, he bluntly said that he was here to ask for his son's marriage, and as long as he was his daughter-in-law, he could give any innate treasure and chaos spirit treasure.
No kidding!
The game "Xiuzhen Fantasy" is from Tianba Studio.,It's hard to say anything else.,Anyway, everything in the game.,What do you want.。
The premise is that he must take down his son and be willing to be his daughter-in-law!
Lao Chen thought about it and felt that the problem should not be big, with the strength of his family's conditions, which female cultivator was not impressed?
The most difficult level is how to win his son and make him nod and agree to this marriage! He didn't nod, even if Lao Chen arranged a heavenly marriage for him, he would have to blow it!
Moreover, no identity can be revealed!
Lao Chen also knows that his son is a celebrity, and once his appearance and name are revealed, it will cause heated discussions on the Internet.
Therefore, matchmaking must also pay attention to ways and means, and you can't just say "My son is Chen Ba" as soon as you come up.
"Then in the way of online dating!"
Lao Chen made up his mind and decided to hide it from the other party for the time being, not to tell her son's real name and appearance.
He typed all the drafts:
"My son also plays "Xiuzhen Fantasy" and has a crush on you for a long time, can you add him as a friend and try to get in touch with it?"
