MTL - My Extraordinary Achievement-Chapter 541 Meeting 23 Things
It is now the beginning of November, and it has been nine months since Xizi Pictures was established. During this period, three animation films made by Xizi Pictures are in production, and none of them have been completed, let alone released and released by agency. There are quite a few movies. After all, there is a big platform to support them, and the money that should be made cannot be less.
Xizi Animation Studio, a subsidiary of Xizi Pictures, and Shanhai Animation Studio, which has deep cooperation, have different divisions of labor between the two studios. The two studios have more than 500 technical members. The number of other cooperating studios and outsourcing studios combined is very large, and so many people are currently serving three animated films in production at the same time.
The first group of people who were dispatched by Shanhai Animation Studio to Neon to participate in the animation production of "The Man in the Mountains and Seas", and the first group of people who went to Pixar to participate in the study and production have all returned and joined the production of these three animations.
The 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 okay. The fastest one will be completed before the summer vacation next year. It may be released during the summer vacation. If it is slower, it will be during the eleventh period. Try to release it on New Year's Day.
If it is released later on New Year's Day, the production cycle will be about 18 months. For an animated film, this is a long or short production cycle, but if you go deep into the production quality, it will definitely be fast. The main reason In the final analysis, the funds here are really sufficient, and there will not be any blockages in the funds. In this regard, it is catching up with Hollywood animation production. Even Hollywood, including Pixar, does not have enough funds to burn.
To be honest, even though the other two major shareholders of Xizi Pictures, Penguin and 8 Station, are considered to have deep pockets, they are somewhat panicked in the face of Meng Fan's exaggerated investment. However, this situation was eased shortly after, and the reason is very simple, because the box office of animated films exploded, and an animated film with a box office of over 5 billion was released.
Facts have once again proved that in the Huaxia film market, as long as it is a sincere film, it is possible to get an unexpected box office. There is a huge market for local animation films in the Huaxia market.
From Big Fish to Great Sage to Nezha, it's all like this. It is worth mentioning that there is also a series of bears that has been stable in quality, and has always had very good box office returns.
After seeing or seeing the "miracle" of the animation box office, the executives of Xizi Pictures had the opinion that they hoped to release an earlier movie to harvest the box office, but in the end, these ideas will be gone, and they are all people in the industry. , I know too well what will happen if you follow the trend. For example, the one that followed immediately after the explosion of local Chinese science fiction films is a very typical example. Moreover, Xizi Pictures is still more inclined to do word-of-mouth in the long-term, and the immediate interests are still relatively light.
In addition to the self-made animated films by Xizi Films, there is also a "three-in-five-year" plan in cooperation with Pixar. The progress of the first film is faster than this. The first item of today's meeting is about this film, except for Xizi In addition to the management of the film industry, there are also staff from Pixar participating in the form of video conferences.
The result of the negotiation is that it will be released after the Spring Festival. After all, no matter how the form of cooperation is, this film cannot be released in the Spring Festival.
This release date is a week earlier than the North American release date, which is not unusual.
After the agreed time, it was about the plan for the announcement and distribution of the film. In this area, Meng Fan basically had no right to speak, and laymen would not understand.
The content of the second meeting is related to the establishment of the new year's project. In addition to movies, Xizi Pictures will also be responsible for the production and distribution of some animation series due to its subordinate animation studio and Shanhai Animation Studio. The meeting preliminarily determined that three (seasonal) animations and one animation film will enter the production stage to be approved next year.
The most important reason for this is that the current "capacity" of Xizi Animation Studio and Shanhai Animation Studio is excessive.
The last content of the meeting is also the most important content of this meeting, and that is about the second Shanhai Animation Festival.
The time is the same as the first session on February 22. After more than three months, it is now necessary to enter the preparatory stage.
Because Shanhai Animation Festival is closely related to Penguin and Station 8, and Xizi Films is the largest animation film company in China's animation industry today—even if there is no output yet, the scale cannot run away—so Xiziying Industry is one of the organizers, and the prepared meeting is directly thrown here. The difference is that after the first two meetings, some people from the industry came in to participate in discussions and discussions.
The first Shanhai Animation Festival was very successful, but in any case, there were indeed some chaotic scenes, and because the place where it was held underestimated the appeal of this animation festival or Meng Fan, there were too many accidents and temporary events. The second session will definitely have a good control over the order, and the scale and other aspects will also be larger than the first session.
The same selection mechanism as in the first session is divided into two parts: ordinary netizens and practitioners.
When the results of this meeting came out, the biggest difference was that the animation festival time was changed to one week, during which a number of galas and activities including the opening and closing ceremonies and awards ceremonies, cos events, and animation concerts will be hosted.
The next step is to coordinate the arrangement of the venue, the guests to be invited, and various rehearsals. Another very important part is to invite animation practitioners and related manufacturers and businesses. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com established an animation festival The management committee is responsible for this matter.
The scale of the first session is enough to make Shanhai Animation Festival the largest animation festival in China.
…
"How is it? Is it alright here?"
After the meeting, Meng Fan met with Xing Tage who was wandering around.
"How about what? You are the largest animation film company in China. I am qualified to evaluate it." Xing Tage laughed.
Meng Fan asked, "Then are you interested in joining?"
Xing Tage was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, how could his own thoughts escape Meng Fan's eyes.
Meng Fan added, "How about I arrange for you an actor and assistant director Dangdang?" He raised his eyebrows, "Your favorite."
Xing Tage rolled his eyes: "Stop talking nonsense, am I someone who needs to take advantage of this position to do that?" After a pause, he laughed and scolded, "Besides, you are an animation film company, an actor and an assistant director. Who can I put a red sofa for! For the voice actors, those are all monsters, I can't stand it!".
Meng Fan laughed and walked out of Xizi Films with Xing Tage towards Damei Studio, and said sincerely, "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 already decided on is Director Liang Chun, who you like very much. When we chatted before, he mentioned to me "Campus Love Fingering Man" and asked me about this The plot of the Ministry, etc..."
Xing Tage didn't understand Meng Fan's intentions. He tapped the shoulder of the helper and said, "If possible, I would like to start with his screenwriter assistant."
