Chapter 523

After the Shanhai Animation Festival, the heads of penguin animation network, station 8 and Shanhai animation studio met together. Strictly speaking, this was the first formal meeting of the three jointly established film companies, "Xizi film" - named simply by place names.

Xizi film, the three companies each account for 30% of the shares, and the remaining 10% of the shares are individual shareholders. They are looking for tycoons with distribution resources. The voting rights of these tycoons are mandatory in Shanhai animation studio according to the agreement. In other words, Shanhai animation studio still has the most voting rights in Xizi film, but it does not absolutely control the vote.

After going through some unfinished procedures in this meeting, the real topic began, that is, the next project of Xizi film. It's true that we have signed three works with Pixar for five years, but the purpose of Xizi film is not just to cooperate with foreign film industry, but to make Chinese animation by ourselves.

There are more and more animation film companies in China, but compared with the growing film market in China, the magnitude is better than nothing. There are many reasons. Strictly speaking, it is too much. In the final analysis, it is too slow to make money. After all, an animation film that makes money in the video film market takes too long to invest, so long that many investors don't want to touch it. There is no capital investment. For animation films that need a lot of investment in every frame, it is even slower to make them, and they are completely trapped in a vicious circle.

That is, in recent years, with the rise of domestic animation, especially the rise of children's animation, with a relatively high national IP, we can quickly get funds or own funds and make movies quickly. Even if the quality is average, we can still make money with IP influence.

In addition, all the films that can make money or have a good reputation that have emerged over the years have been polished for a long time, and they have been pigeoned again and again for lack of funds for several times during the polishing process, and they almost gave up.

With the rapid growth of Chinese animation and film markets, animation film practitioners do have a better creative environment than before, but there are also sincere limitations. Investment is still difficult to pull. It's not that it can't be pulled, but that most of what can be pulled has many requirements, and the control over the use of funds is also strict. In a word, there are still great constraints. Of course, if you want to say the other way around, it makes sense to think that Huaxia animation company's production ability is not strong, so investors' confidence is not strong, so they forcibly intervene in a bad thing. After all, there is nothing that has problems only on one side, and it is always comprehensive.

In addition to the combination of the big platform and Meng fan's fame, the three joint ventures set up animation film companies this time also because of the resources integrated by the Shanhai Animation Festival. There are two very important resources, one is talent, the other is capital. As for the content of the project, this is really not lacking.

Now what is on the meeting is how to choose too many projects!

With the integration of these resources, Xizi film must choose projects that can make a good start, otherwise, it will have a great impact on the future.

The choice of the project is definitely aimed at the box office and word of mouth. After it is made, it is not a failure if the two can account for one of them. Of course, it is definitely the best to have a good box office reputation, but it is not easy. Let alone the newly established animation film company, even Pixar is not 100% sure.

For animated films and even animation itself, although Chu TianKuo learned from this background, he was not proficient, so he focused on listening at the meeting. However, with his vision and aesthetics there, he must grasp the last level to make decisions, otherwise he would not force so many voting rights.

As for the film itself, since the corresponding task has not been triggered so far, Meng fan will definitely not spend time in-depth study. Even if he has a strong learning ability, he will not participate too much in the production process.

At the end of the meeting, two big IPS and an original cartoon were discussed as the final candidates, and then they looked at Meng fan together.

"Are you short of money?"

"Is there a shortage?"

"Since there is no shortage, then do it all!"

Meng fan made a bold decision: "everyone is a senior or unique practitioner in this industry. In fact, the pros and cons come out in the production process. When the time comes, it must be clear which one will be released first and make a good start. In a word, if you want money, give money, and give people!"

......

After the meeting, Meng fan went to DIDU to participate in the final rehearsal of the Lantern Festival party, and then recorded it the next day - the CCTV Lantern Festival party.

Before that, he did not return to Hangzhou. After staying with Wu Tong at the emperor's home for a day, he went to the training base, and Wu Tong also began to repair paintings in the Forbidden City.

Soon after the Lantern Festival, it entered March of the Gregorian calendar. Meng fan, who has rested for about half a year, will enter the athletes' competition period again. From April, there will be more intensive competition arrangements, and life, rest and training need to be standardized a month in advance.

Meng fan appeared before the training base, and the first-line members of the national team of the third team of Ju Tiao Rou were basically in place. Except for those who were unable to train in time due to their injuries, Meng fan still served as a coach during the training. In fact, as far as Meng fan's strength is concerned, it's ok as long as he keeps competitive state in training, that is, the coach of the weightlifting team will be anxious to ask Meng fan for a higher weight, and he doesn't know how to ask for lifting, wrestling and judo, which is really too invincible.

At the beginning of April, there were Grand Prix and masters of wrestling and judo. All the team members were holding their breath and wanted to achieve good results. The center also set a goal. In addition to Meng fan, we should strive to win at least five medals and two gold medals at all levels of men and women. Wrestling is hard to say. Judo should sit firmly in the competition with neon.

The training lasted for half a month, and the time passed quickly. For Meng fan, everything was good. He had no rigid requirements for training and guidance time, and he was free to go in and out - he could go to the capital at any time to meet Wu Tong - the only uncomfortable thing was naturally eating. Although the chefs in the training base had changed their patterns and the taste was really good, they still ate badly, and their saliva often dripped when they thought of hot pot.

After returning to Hangzhou, Meng fan was even busier. In addition to daily training and painting, he also had to take a make-up exam every day - many of the school exams Meng fan missed, because the national team athlete status, the exam can be made up at any time - and write a graduation thesis. As for the graduation exhibition, Meng fan had no mind and time to do it.

Another thing is to stroll around Xizi Cultural Innovation Park whenever you have time. Because of the entry of Xizi film industry and the influence of Shanhai Animation Festival, Xizi cultural innovation park is now completely full, and even the area still under expansion is basically booked up, and has been firmly seated as the first brother of Hangzhou cultural Innovation Park.

Meng fan has been paying attention to the progress of the three animated films.
