I have a lot of achievements

Chapter 524 Xizi Business
After the Shanhai Animation Festival ended, the heads of Penguin Animation Network, 8zhan and Shanhai Animation Studio met together. Strictly speaking, this is the three film companies jointly established "Xizi Film Industry" - the name is simple Using Place Names - First Official Meeting.

Xizi Films, each of the three companies holds 30% of the shares, and the remaining 10% of the shares are individual shareholders. They are looking for big bosses with distribution resources. The voting rights of these big bosses are all mandatory in Shanhai Animation Studio according to the agreement. Yes, in other words, Shanhai Animation Studio still has the most voting rights of Xizi Films, but it does not absolutely control the votes.

After completing some unfinished procedures in this meeting, the real topic started, which is the next project that Xizi Pictures will do.It is true that it has signed three works with Pixar for five years, but the purpose of the establishment of Xizi Films is not just to cooperate with foreign film companies, but to develop Chinese animation by itself.

There are more and more animation film companies in China, but compared to the growing film market in China as a whole, it is better than nothing. There are many reasons. Strictly speaking, there are too many. In the final analysis, it is money. Too slow, after all, it takes too long for an animated film to make money in the film market, so long that many investors don't want to touch it.Without capital investment, it will be even slower to make an animated film that requires a lot of investment in each frame, and it will completely fall into a vicious cycle.

That is to say, in recent years, with the rise of domestic animation, especially the rise of children’s animation, IP with a relatively high nationality can quickly attract funds or own funds and quickly make movies. Even if the quality is average, the influence of IP is still there. able to make money.

In addition, all of the films that have emerged over the years that can make money or have a good reputation have been polished for a long time, and during the polishing process, they have been repeatedly pigeonholed or even almost given up due to lack of funds.

With the rapid growth of China's animation and film markets, animation film practitioners do have a better creative environment than before, but their hearts are also limited.Investment is still difficult to obtain, not because it cannot be obtained, but most of what can be obtained has many requirements, and the control on the use of funds is also strict. All in all, there are still great constraints.Of course, you have to turn it around and think that Huaxia Animation Company’s production capabilities are not strong, so investors have little confidence, so it makes sense to forcibly interfere if something goes wrong. After all, there is nothing that only one party has a problem. It is mostly comprehensive.

The establishment of the animation film company by the three joint ventures this time is not only a combination of a large platform and Meng Fan's reputation, but also because of the resources integrated by the Shanhai Animation Festival this time. Two very important resources, one is talent, and the other is capital. As for the project content, This is really not missing.

Now at the meeting is how to choose too many projects!

Integrating so many resources, for Xizi Films, it is definitely necessary to choose a project that can get off to a good start, otherwise, it will have a great impact on the future.

The selection of the project must be aimed at the box office and word of mouth. After it is made, it is not a failure if it can account for one of the two.Of course, it would definitely be the best if it can achieve a double harvest at the box office, but the difficulty is not small. Let alone a newly established animation film company, even Pixar is not 100% sure.

As for animated films and even animation itself, although Chu Tiankuo is a student of this background, he is not proficient, so he mainly listens at the meeting. It is about decision-making, otherwise it would not force so many voting rights.

As for the movie itself, since no corresponding task has been triggered so far, Meng Fan will definitely not spend time on in-depth study, even though he has a strong learning ability, so he will not participate too much in the production process.

At the end of the meeting, two big IPs and an original comic were discussed as the final candidates, and Qiqi looked at Meng Fan.

"Lack of money?"

"Is there a shortage of people?"

"Since there is no shortage, then do all of them!"

Meng Fan made a bold decision: "Everyone is a senior or unique practitioner in this industry. In fact, the pros and cons come out during the production process. When the time comes, you will definitely know which one to choose to be released first and get off to a good start. In a word, money is needed. Give money, ask people to give!"

After the meeting, Meng Fan went to the imperial capital to participate in the final rehearsal of the Lantern Festival, and then recorded it the next day—the recording and broadcast of the CCTV Lantern Festival.

Before that, he didn't go back to Hangzhou either. After spending a day with Wu Tong at the imperial capital's house, he went to the training base, and Wu Tong also started to repair paintings in the Forbidden City.

Soon after the Lantern Festival, it entered March in the Gregorian calendar. Meng Fan, who had been resting for about half a year, was about to enter the athlete competition period again. From April onwards, there would be a relatively intensive schedule of competitions, and it was necessary to arrange life, work and rest, and training one month in advance. Get regular.

Before Meng Fan appeared at the training base, the first-line players of the three national teams were basically in place. Except for some who could not train in time due to injuries, Meng Fan still served as a coach during the training period.In fact, as far as Meng Fan's current strength is concerned, as long as he maintains a competitive state during training, that is to say, the coach of the weightlifting team will be more anxious to ask Meng Fan to put on higher weights, and he doesn't know what to ask for in weightlifting and judo. How to ask, it is too invincible.

At the beginning of April, there were wrestling and judo grand prix and master competitions. All the team members held their breath and wanted to achieve good results. At least five medals and two gold medals, wrestling is hard to say, judo needs to be firmly in the situation of competing with the neon two powerhouses.

This training camp lasted for half a month, and the time passed quickly. For Meng Fan, everything was fine. There were no strict requirements on the time for his training and guidance, and he was free to come and go—you can go to the imperial capital to meet Wu Tong at any time— —The only uncomfortable thing is of course the food. Although the chefs at the training base have changed their tricks and the taste is really good, they still don’t feel good about eating. Every time they think of hot pot, they drool.

After returning to Hangzhou, Meng Fan became even busier. In addition to daily training and painting, he also had to take make-up exams. Many school exams were missed by Meng Fan. Because of his status as a national team player, the exams could be made up at any time. ——And writing a graduation thesis, as for the graduation exhibition, Meng Fan didn't have the time or thought to do it.

In addition, whenever you have free time, you can go to Xizi Cultural and Creative Park for a stroll. Because of the presence of Xizi Pictures and the influence of Shanhai Animation Festival, the current Xizi Cultural and Creative Park is completely full, and even the area that is still expanding It is basically booked out, and has already secured the position of the first brother of Hangzhou Cultural and Creative Park.

Meng Fan has been following the progress of the three animated films.
