Lao Ye is very similar to Meng fan in many aspects, such as loving the secondary culture, for example, he has a rich family and has the ability to make money, so he is also similar in value orientation. Of course, it is precisely because of this premise that he naturally contacts with Meng fan because of his understanding of illustration.
Like Meng fan, the first purpose of throwing money into the animation industry is not to make money. As they said when they last met to discuss the establishment of this studio, their purpose in entering this industry is not to divide the cake, but to make the cake bigger.
Of course, the cake is bigger, and the cake makers can't share the cake, so they can only blame them for being too useless.
This time, both of them initially spent 10 million yuan as their starting capital - excluding the production cost of "underground spirit" - the studio share distribution is very simple, Meng fan 40%, trapped Ye 35%, and the five person team 5% each. From the perspective of share distribution, Meng fan and trapped ye are both large parties, and these five people also enjoy the same remuneration and performance sharing as other members. Of course, there is an agreement that the five person team will leave within five years, and the shares will be recovered.
The primary purpose of two people investing money is not to make money. It's not too much to say it's for dreams. In the end, it's also for happiness. Everyone has the pursuit of happiness. The poor have the happiness of the poor, the rich have the happiness of the rich. The happiness of the rich can be bought with money in many aspects, and money is the premise in many aspects.
Like animation, Meng fan and Lao ye are willing to pay for their time and energy, and the money is naturally more willing.
However, in terms of spending money, Meng fan is obviously much harder than Lao Ye.
The animation of the first season of "underground spirit" has been done, and the revenue is certainly not all included in the studio, but at present, the later stage of the first season of "underground spirit" is handed over to the studio. I don't need to pay extra, but part of the revenue is to be transferred to the studio.
It is equivalent to that the team is still the original team, but the production has been cut into two parts. One is what they originally did, and the other is now contracted to the studio, and then the studio outsources some of them to other studios to do, such as dubbing to chocolate, for example, post music to another studio, and most of the songs invited by Meng fan will be completed there, and a small part may be done by the singer himself.
These singers were invited to write songs, and then they may be invited to sing. The studio's investment in the post music production of "underground spirit" will be doubled.
But it's really cost-effective. Ordinary people can't hire so many famous singers, which is also profitable from the perspective of publicity.
Meng fan basically comes from books in terms of animation production. In addition, he doesn't have much contact with this aspect. This time, after talking about the song invitation, he listened to the views of the five person team on the future development. "Spirit under the ground" is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go.
As for the "strange people of mountains and seas", the agreement has been signed and handed over to the talk club. Meng fan sent a team to cooperate with the past, saying that cooperation is mainly about learning.
In addition, even if the copyright of "strange man of mountains and seas" is taken back, just by making this cartoon, even if it will definitely make money later, it is against the original intention of Meng fan and Lao Ye. This is the act of sharing the cake, not making the cake.
To make a cake, you have to make other animations.
Of course, it can't be achieved overnight. Meng fan didn't plan to finish it in a few years. He still had to take his time, boil it slowly, fight it slowly, and move forward step by step.
"Iron God."
The five member team continued the name of Meng fan from the outside world. After saying the general plan once, Yang Wuzhen, who was an accountant, finally said, "at present, the primary task is to integrate the team. The five of us need to take another small production to polish the new members. At least we should run the team in before going to neon, otherwise it is of little significance to bring some experience."
Meng fan nodded and said, "no problem. Do you have any works you like? Or do I contact penguin and ask them to recommend some?"
Yang Wuzhen pushed his glasses: "ask about the animation of penguin. Even if it's polishing the team, you still have to earn money. Give me your contact information, I'll talk about it, and then I'll talk to you to make a decision."
Meng fan gave a thumbs up. Meng fan appreciated Yang Wuzhen very much. He and Lao ye were very open to money. The other four people were also skilled at drilling with one head. They had to have such a person who could "calculate".
Of course, what makes Yang Wuzhen more outstanding is his skill.
After a chat, Meng fan and Lao ye took the five member team and the new members to have supper. At the same time, they also called cha Dao and others from the chocolate studio. In addition to getting through with the post dubbing production, they also let both sides have further contact. Chocolate still needs to be eaten.
Meng fan took coke and touched director Cha: "director Cha, how are the dubbing Actors looking for? Have they been assigned?"
"If you come by yourself, the main roles will be complete, and other roles will be fine." Director Cha said with a smile. Then he toasted everyone one by one, regardless of what the other party drank. He did it all in one bite.
Cha Dao's nose has long been smelled out. The development of the chocolate studio has almost become a bottleneck. He was originally prepared to do so, but the luck of the diamond ring is really fierce and a little unstoppable!
Whether Meng fan ate chocolate or became a shareholder is a great good thing for director cha. Apart from Meng fan's dubbing strength, his popularity now can "sell" the price of oil!
Speaking of it, director Cha is really grateful for quarreling with his wife that morning. If it weren't for his violent wife who quarreled and liked to lose the diamond ring, he wouldn't have known Meng fan!
After supper, Meng fan called Yixin and recommended Yang Wuzhen's wechat to him after explaining the situation. They talked about the rest by themselves.
......
"Huh? Sister, when did you come?"
Meng fan came home and was startled to see two women with facial mask, still black facial mask, sitting in the living room.
"It's been two days!"
Meng Caiwei carefully opened her mouth and stuffed a piece of cut apple, defending Wu Tong on the side: "you come back from the outside, don't see Tong Tong first, where did you come back so late? I also heard Bai Zhi say that you invite songs everywhere, what are you busy with?"
"I'm working on an animation studio."
Meng fan, of course, had seen Wu Tong long after he came back. He reached for an apple and threw it into his mouth. Then he took a whole piece of it and asked, "what's this facial mask? Give me one."
"Not as big as you."
"Heaven and earth conscience, your face is not smaller than me!"
"You've never looked in the mirror, have you“
Wu Tong looked at the two brothers and sisters bickering, wanted to laugh, afraid to smile, facial mask wrinkled.
Meng Caiwei has not received the play for more than half a year since she finished shooting the "cross the river", and she has received very little other work. Her daily work is fitness and reading, as well as travel and shopping. The main purpose of this visit to Hangzhou is to go to Zhejiang University to attend two months of classes, not to mix with any literature or to bully people, but purely for interest.
Meng Caiwei is interested in the major of "landscape architecture" in the College of agriculture and Biotechnology of Zhejiang University. Of course, it is not too incredible to be interested in this major. After all, there is an architect at home. Although she has not been abused by various building models like Meng fan since childhood, she is also influenced by everything. From the perspective of "knowledge", she is really much richer than the average student in this major.
Hearing Meng Caiwei's plan, Meng fan couldn't help teasing: "with your violent temper, can you calm down and make those flowery stone ponds in your heart?"
"Do you know what it means to eat fast and chant Buddha for ten years, and then kill a lot?"
"Together, you want these things to wear out your patience and make your temper more explosive? Admiration! Your angle is too novel“
Wu Tong went to cut the watermelon and continued to apply the facial mask. Eating the melon, he watched the two siblings quarrel.
It is normal for Meng fan and Meng Caiwei to quarrel, and it is also impolite to pit each other. Meng fan tricked Meng Caiwei into going to the chocolate studio the next day, and asked her to play a very important role in the play - Meng Po, which has not appeared many times in the underground spirit.
Meng Caiwei's line skills are generally recognized in the industry, and the dubbing effect is of course very good. As for Meng fan's arranging such a role for her, Meng Caiwei's professional quality can't be resisted there. What she resists is that Meng fan deceives her into dubbing for free, which has nothing to do with the role.
In the next two days, Meng fan basically voiced in the chocolate studio, finishing all the content of the protagonist of the first season of "underground spirit", and also worked as a voiceover guide. His matchmaking was done, but he still came here across the air.
The invited songs were also sent to two songs, which were much faster than Meng fan thought. One was written by Shi 15 and the other was written by Jin Xiaowen. At the same time, Jin Xiaowen also promised to join the post music production of "underground spirit". In addition, he also recommended a musician to help with the score work.
In this way, the layout required for later work is basically complete.
As for propaganda, it is not difficult, that is, to see the final effect.
In late September, the dubbing production of "underground spirit" was completed, the dubbing was basically better, and the song received a total of seven suitable songs, including a theme song, a finale and five episodes, which were sung by well-known singers. This configuration is high even if it's an animation, not to mention a popular TV series.
Well, this "well-known" singer includes Meng fan, a well-known non professional singer. He sings the ending song, and the theme song is written by Shi 15, but it is not sung by Shi 15, but sung by Su qingcen. In addition, one of the two songs written by Jin Xiaowen was sung by Angelica dahurica.
Of course, Meng fan wanted to pay these two people, but he couldn't give them.
