MTL - My Extraordinary Achievement-Chapter 524 Team building
What can I do for an animated film in half a month?
Very few, can also be a lot!
A lot of the premise is that funds, manpower, resources are in place, and there is a good helmsman to grasp the direction.
The funds are not lacking for Xizi Pictures. Let’s not say how much money Penguin Animation Network, 8 Station and Shanhai Animation Studio can use. Just know that Xizi Pictures is going to start an animated film, and investors from all walks of life will If you are willing to eat these investments in the past two months, you will have more than the total funds of the cooperation projects reached by all parties in the Shanhai Animation Festival. The conservative point is that it can exceed 300 million!
What is the concept of 300 million production fees?
In the recent domestic animation movies with high box office reputation, even if the declaration fee is included, there are not more than 100 million.
The production fee for the domestically produced animated films is basically between 20 million and 50 million, and more than 30 million accounts for a small percentage.
Push forward a few more years, less!
The animated film crew is too poor, so poor that all practitioners are used to it.
Take the example of "Big Fish". The reason why a pigeon has spent 12 years on the pigeons to really board the big screen is not that the production cycle needs to be so long, but most of the time is spent all over the place. Looking for an investment to go up.
The most interesting and ironic thing is that "Big Fish" took 12 years to complete with 30 million productions, and then invested in it. The movie propaganda and distribution of the above money is far more than the production fee.
What does this mean?
It’s not a Chinese filmmaker or an investor who doesn’t have a vision, but is too poisonous. If you don’t see the rabbit in the last step, don’t scatter the eagle!
Why have you gone early?
People don't have to spend money to buy risk bets. Can you make money? After all, there are more types of Chinese movies making money. It’s not an animated fan, it’s not going to take your dreams together.
Even if it is an animated film, it also invests in similar projects such as bears and sheep.
In comparison, the reason why foreign countries, especially Hollywood animated films, do well, the first point is to dare to save money, hundreds of millions of dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars in production costs. They have a more mature film industry and technology, but they don't have the courage to pay for it at the beginning, and the film industry and technology will not be so good.
Of course, there are many reasons for the quality of the film.
However, if you have money, you can really solve a lot of things, especially for Chinese animated movies. If you have money, you have solved a lot of things.
For the investors in the industry, Xizi Pictures is one of the biggest rabbits in the Chinese film market. Anyone who wants to sprinkle an eagle can do even a little bit of money. Money, less profit is also earned. The key is to have the first time. For the second time, I said that I will not have more for the second time.
For investors, the most important thing about movies is the box office.
Where is the box office?
One is brought by people who have the box office appeal, and the other is brought by word of mouth.
Word of mouth, this thing is not allowed, but the box office appeal can be accurate, otherwise there will be no quality garbage but find some box office appealing actor or traffic to make a wave of money to leave. Don't feel that there is a small amount of money, which is quite high compared to the production fee.
There are too many components of the box office appeal, such as traffic stars, such as feelings, such as filmmakers who have had good word-of-mouth movies, and so on.
Well, after some painful and really embarrassing experience, the traffic star has slowly deceived people, and the number of people who pay the IQ tax in the film is decreasing year by year.
However, the latter two are still very popular. This kind of thing has always been a big IQ tax, and a good word-of-mouth moviemaker is a little lucky. You don’t know how good or bad you are when you don’t walk into the cinema, or you don’t believe it. The film rating must be seen before it is determined.
Xizi Films or Meng Fan is a combination of traffic and good word-of-mouth. The traffic reaches the traffic idols and stands by the side. It is true that although the works are not movies, they can't stand the works before they have a good reputation.
Not to mention anything else, after the release of the film of Xizi Film, the company announced that "we all owe a movie ticket to the Iron God" can attract countless viewers.
What, Meng Fan has not filmed before?
Isn't his game more exciting than the movie?
This corporate slogan is not a problem!
Is it necessary to invest in these own homes?
Of course not all, but not all bad.
First, the depth of the line, even if there are some mergers and acquisitions in the three companies, it is still impossible to shut down all the investment; the second is that Meng Fan’s original intention of setting up a film company is not to make money, but to share it. Let the animation movies produced by your company make production, distribution, release and influence more smoothly.
In the end, it absorbed almost 100 million investments and injected them into the production costs of three animated films.
Of course, in addition to the investor's own resources and platform, the most important thing is that you are only responsible for investing in other things, and you can't intervene. If you can't do this, you can invest more than you can. Also refuse.
However, even so, the pace of progress is still very slow, mainly because the construction of the team is too difficult, or it is too difficult to pull up a team that matches this investment, let alone three.
After the establishment of Xizi Film, both the subordinate studios and the brother-in-law strategic partner Shanhai Studio have carried out a large number of recruits. Now the subordinate studios are also members of Xizi Animation Studio, which have more than 200 members, of which 100 are technical members. Fifty people, Shanhai Studio staff has also expanded to nearly 500 people, and counted other cooperation studios and outsourcing studios, serving more than a thousand people for Xizi Film.
This half a month ~www.novelbuddy.com~ In fact, most of the time is spent on the construction of the team, and even the main energy of the next few months will still be placed on this.
"Not urgent!"
Meng Fan also knows the difficulties in this. He said at the meeting with the person in charge: "Although you can do things at your own pace, you can even slow down the rhythm properly. You don't have to worry about other things. There will be administrative staff. Coordination. The animations that these three are doing are important, but it seems more important to me to polish a qualified team through these three animations."
"In addition, there is one more thing I have to say, one thing that was fixed long ago. My "Shan Haiqiren" animation has been set up in neon. According to the contract, I can deploy a team to participate in neon participation. In the production, the first period lasted about one to two months. Originally, this team was also determined to be drawn from the Shanhai animation studio, and now part of the quota can be given to Xizi animation. With neon top animation It is an opportunity for the team to work together, and now the task of film production is relatively heavy. How to coordinate with you, then give me a list. After two months of working with Pixar, it is almost the same model."
"In a word, team building is a top priority and must be grasped."
