tearjerker director

Chapter 236 The dog director with no ambition
Li Yi also didn't expect that on this trip back to his hometown, he would be able to directly produce two works.

It's just that the first of the two works is a bit easier to talk about, and the movie "Paradise Cinema" is justified.

But the latter one is not a movie, it's an anime, and the point is, it's actually because of the rabbit.

cartoon?Li Yi scratched his head a little.

It's all because he is really ignorant about animation!

After returning, Li Yi immediately found Lou Jianjun who had just joined Li Yi's personal film studio as the general manager.

After Lou Jianjun joined the job, he has been filtering out the business of Li Yi's film studio these days.

As a result, Lou Jianjun was surprised and smiled wryly.

Surprised, I was surprised that although Li Yi's personal film studio is small, the assets of the studio are very large.

Of course, the so-called assets are mainly the copyrights of Li Yi's films.

After Lou Jianjun took over, he realized that Li Yi's personal film studio was completely a grass-roots team.

Simply put, in his opinion, the operation of Li Yi's film studio is a mess.

Therefore, if Li Yi didn't come to him, he would also look for Li Yi. He was really looking at so many valuable things, but they had been idle and not developed at all. Lou Jianjun felt like a waste of everything.

"Dong Li, Waifu Distribution has never released several films in our studio. I don't understand why?" Lou Jianjun looked at Li Yi suspiciously and asked.

It's no wonder that Lou Jianjun has such doubts. In fact, Li Yi's movies have a very high box office. Such movies are all fat and fat.

But the result?
It is better to talk about the copyright development in China, and basically entrust Oceanwide Film and Television to do it.

However, overseas copyrights have always been in the hands of the studio, and the key point is that none of them have been developed, and no other distribution channels have been found.

From Lou Jianjun's point of view, this is completely unimaginable.

But in Li Yi's personal film studio, this is a fact before his eyes. He doesn't believe that no company is interested in these copyrights, so he asks this question.

Speaking of this, Li Yi also scratched his head a little.

"Well, you also know that the studio has only been established for more than two years. The domestic side has been cooperating with Oceanwide Film and Television, and they are all operated by them. Overseas, Oceanwide Film and Television has not developed it for the time being!
There are quite a few companies who want to obtain the overseas distribution rights of these films, but they all want to buy them out directly. I was also very busy before, and you are the only one here, so, ha ha! "

Lou Jianjun could only shake his head and smile wryly, what could he say?
Li Yi's meaning was obvious. Before, the studio didn't have serious professionals like Lou Jianjun to handle these matters.

In addition, Li Yi's studio is not short of money at all, no, it should not be said that there is no shortage of money, but simply too much capital flow.

Except for the purchase of some real estate, other funds are still lying on the books.

To put it simply, Li Yi's studio has a lot of money and doesn't know where to spend it. Even if Li Yi buys real estate everywhere, there are still hundreds of millions of funds lying around.

In Lou Jianjun's view, this is simply a miracle!

"Mr. Li, with so much idle funds on the company's books, haven't you considered expanding the company's business?" Lou Jianjun asked tentatively.

"You know this. As for me, I'm a professional in making movies, but I'm an amateur in running a company. Isn't it you who came here? What do you think?" Li Yi didn't hide it, and said bluntly Frankly speaking, he is not the material to do this.

On the contrary, Lou Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, there are people like Li Yi who don't want to move with money in their arms.

If this is really the case, Lou Jianjun has to think about whether it was a mistake to come here.

Fortunately, Li Yi just stood still because he was not good at this aspect, which actually made Lou Jianjun have a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Lou Jianjun didn't mean to be a fat man: "First of all, we have to make use of the resources in our hands, such as the overseas distribution of your previous films."

Li Yi nodded while listening, hearing what Lou Jianjun said, Li Yi blushed a little.

The main reason is that the company has too many idle resources.

Anyway, every time Li Yi makes a movie, even if it is a domestic part, he makes a lot of money. In addition to spending a part of it at the beginning to invest in Li Yi's own movie.

But as his fame grew, soon, there was no big expenditure at all, because the film basically made a profit before shooting.

As for the company, except for part of the salary expenditure, tax expenditure, and some real estate bought by Li Yi, the rest was basically left untouched.

Because there is no shortage of money, so naturally there is no rush. As a result, there are too many idle funds, and I don't know how to spend them.

"I want to make an animation work recently, what advice do you have? Do you think we should recruit people to set up an animation production department, or buy an existing animation production company?" Li Yi asked.

Lou Jianjun immediately asked after hearing the words: "It depends on what you think, Mr. Li, whether it is an animation movie or an anime series, what kind of requirements do you have? If you want to make an animation movie, you can hire people to set up an animation production department." , it is not advisable, because not to mention time-consuming and labor-intensive, the key is that the produced works are difficult to compare with those animation companies, the gains outweigh the losses!
In fact, the animation industry is a good investment direction. Our company is not short of funds now. If Mr. Li just wants to make an animation for fun, then he can directly find an animation company to cooperate with. If he still has this idea in the future , then my suggestion is that you can acquire an animation company. It doesn’t need a large scale. Small-scale animation companies have a very comfortable life. "

Li Yi thought about it, although there is only one right now, there may be more in the future, so buying an animation company is indeed a good choice.

"Then I'll leave it to you. Well, it's best to have a more mature production team. I hope that it can be used directly after acquisition. Do you understand what I mean?" Li Yi asked.

Lou Jianjun smiled and said, "Understood! In fact, there is a ready-made animation company that I think is quite suitable."

Li Yi asked curiously: "Oh? What animation company?"

"A [-]D animated film "Children's Ocean" was released during June [-]st this year. I wonder if Director Li has any impression?" Lou Jianjun asked.

Li Yi shook his head blankly and said, "I have no impression!"

"What? That animation company produced this animation film? A [-]D animation film? This is not something that can be produced by an ordinary small company, right?" Although Li Yi didn't know much about the animation industry, animation films, It's still [-]D, and ordinary small companies really can't make it out.

"Yes, the company that invested in the production of this movie is called Xingman. This company is indeed not small, but that was in the past." Lou Jianjun said.

"Before? "Children's Ocean" failed?" Li Yi immediately understood what Lou Jianjun meant.

Lou Jianjun nodded and said, ""Children's Heart Ocean" was invested by Xingman's boss Zhang Haiyang himself. Not only that, Zhang Haiyang also borrowed a sum of money for the production of this movie. "Children's Ocean" failed, and Starman was on the verge of bankruptcy."

"Xingman has always made cartoons that are more child-oriented. In fact, they have done a good job in this regard. Although they haven't made a lot of money in the past few years, they have accumulated a little wealth. This is why Zhang Haiyang can germinate. The reason for making a big anime movie."
