Chapter 541

It is now early November, and it has been nine months since the establishment of Xizi film. During this period, Xizi film has made three self-made animated films, all of which are in production, and none of them has been completed, let alone released. There are many films distributed by agents. After all, there is a large platform to support it, and the money it should earn cannot be less.

Xizi animation studio, a subsidiary of Xizi film, and Shanhai animation studio, which has in-depth cooperation, have different emphasis on the division of labor between the two studios. The two studios have more than 500 technical members, plus other cooperative studios and outsourcing studios. The combined number is very large. So many people are currently serving three animated films being produced at the same time.

The first batch of people who were sent by Shanhai animation studio to neon to participate in the animation production of "Shanhai strange man" and went to Pixar to participate in the study and production have returned and joined the production of these three animations.

Team building has achieved initial results, and there will be no less investment in this area in the future.

At present, the progress of the three animated films is OK. The fastest one will be completed before the summer vacation next year. It may be released in the summer vacation. If it is slower, it is during the National Day holiday. If it is slower, it can be released on New Year's day.

If it is released slowly on New Year's day, the production cycle is about 18 months. For animated films, this is not a long or short production cycle, but if we study the production quality, it is definitely fast. In the final analysis, the main reason is that the funds here are really enough, and there will be no financial jam. In this respect, it can be regarded as catching up with Hollywood animation production. Even in Hollywood, including Pixar, not every film can have enough funds to burn.

To tell the truth, even if penguin and station 8, the other two major shareholders of Xizi film, are rich, they are somewhat panicked in the face of such exaggerated investment proposed by Meng fan. However, this situation was alleviated soon, for the simple reason that the box office of animated films exploded, and an animated film with a box office of more than 5billion was released.

Facts have once again proved that as long as it is a sincere work in the Chinese film market, it is possible to reap unexpected box office. There is a huge market for local animation films in the Chinese market.

From the big fish to the great sage to Nezha, it's all the same. It is also worth mentioning that the bear haunting series, which has been of stable quality, has always had a very good box office return.

After seeing or seeing the "miracle" of the animation box office, the executives of Xizi film industry had the opinion of hoping to produce a film to harvest the box office as soon as possible, but in the end, these ideas ended up in vain. They were all people in the industry, and they were too clear about the results of following the trend. For example, a film that followed immediately after the explosion of Chinese local science fiction films soon was a typical example. Moreover, Xizi film industry is also more inclined to build a long-term reputation, and its immediate interests are still relatively light.

In addition to the self-made animated films of Xizi film industry, there is also the "five-year three film" plan cooperating with Pixar. The progress of the first film is faster than here. The first item of today's meeting is about this film. In addition to the management of Xizi film industry, Pixar staff also participated in the form of video conference.

The result of the negotiation is that the film will be released after the Spring Festival. After all, no matter how cooperative it is, it can't be released in the Spring Festival.

It's not surprising that the release time is a week earlier than that in North America.

After the time is agreed, it is about the plan of film publicity. In this area, Meng fan basically has no say, and laymen don't understand it.

The second meeting content is related to the project approval of the new year. In addition to films, Xizi film will also be responsible for the production and distribution of some animation dramas because of its subordinate animation studios and Shanhai animation studios. The meeting preliminarily decided that three (seasonal) animations and one animated film will enter the production stage for the project to be approved next year.

The most important reason for this is that the current "production capacity" of Xizi animation studio and Shanhai animation studio is surplus.

The last content of the meeting is also the most important content of the meeting, which is about the second Shanhai Animation Festival.

The same time as the first session is February 22. More than three months later, it needs to enter the preparatory stage.

Because Shanhai Animation Festival is closely related to penguin and station 8, Xizi film is now the largest animation film company in China's animation industry - even if there is no output, it can't run away from this scale - so Xizi film is one of the organizers, and the prepared meeting is directly left here. The difference is that after the first two meetings, some people from the industry came in to participate in the discussion and negotiation.

The first Shanhai Animation Festival was very successful, but in any case, there were indeed some chaotic scenes. Because the venue underestimated the appeal of this animation festival or Meng fan, there were too many accidents and temporary changes. The second one will certainly have a good control in order, and the scale and other aspects will be larger than the first one.

The same selection mechanism as the first one is divided into two parts: ordinary netizens and practitioners.

The biggest difference in the outcome of this meeting is that the time of the animation festival is changed to one week, during which many parties and activities, including the opening and closing ceremonies and award ceremonies, cos events, animation concerts and so on, will be hosted.

Next is the cooperation of all departments in arranging the venue and the proposed guests, as well as various rehearsals. Another important link is to invite animation practitioners and relevant manufacturers and businesses, and set up an Animation Festival Management Committee to take charge of this matter.

The scale of the first session is enough to make Shanhai Animation Festival the largest animation festival in China. This time, we need to improve the specification in terms of scale.

……

"How's it going? Is it OK here?"

At the end of the meeting, Meng fan met Xing tage, who had been wandering around.

"What? You are the largest animation film company in China. I am qualified to evaluate it." Xing Taige laughed.

Meng fan asked, "are you interested in joining?"

Xing tenge was stunned. Thinking about it, he thought about how he could escape Meng fan's eyes.

Meng Fan said, "why don't I arrange an actor and deputy director for you?" He raised his eyebrows, "your favorite."

Xing tage rolled his eyes. "Don't talk nonsense. Am I someone who needs to take advantage of this position?" Paused for a moment, laughed and scolded, "besides, you are an animation film company. Who can I set up a red sofa for? For the sound actor, it's all monsters, and I can't stand it!"

Meng fan laughed and walked out of Xizi film industry with Xing tage towards Damei studio, Sincerely said: "we just set up three animation series projects today, one of which is love fan. Are you interested in participating in the screenwriting work? The director and screenwriter you have decided on is director Liang Chun, who you like very much. When we chatted before, he mentioned" campus love refers to men "to me and asked me about the plot of this movie..."

Xing tage didn't understand Meng fan's intentions. He thumped on his shoulder and said, "if you can, I want to start with his screenwriter assistant."
