Entertaining Children

  Chapter 469 Animation Movie

   "In this case, I have a project to talk to Teacher Tong." Seeing that Tong Luo was so generous, Xiao Yao remembered another plan of his own.

   "Project? Your language habit..." Tong Luo smiled and said, "Well, you can talk about it."

   "I know that you are a special effects company, but I just saw your work show, not only do special effects, but also do some animation clips for game companies, right?" Xiao Yao asked Tongluo.

"Yes, we can also do animation." Tong Luo smiled and nodded, "What? Did you write another funny song like "Song of Pigs" by Fan Linxuan, and want us to make it for you A matching animation video for the MV?"

   Before the release of the new album, Fan Linxuan uploaded a video of "Song of Pigs" on Weibo as a bonus for fans, indicating that it was Xiao Yao's work, and Tong Luo knew about it.

   "Not an animated MV, but a regular animated film." Xiao Yao shook his head.

  "Movie?" At this moment, Tong Luo opened his eyes wide, and unconsciously sat up straight.

   "Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "I wonder if you have watched my art test video in Shenxi?"

   "Have you seen it, what does that have to do with animated movies?" Tong Luo asked after nodding.

   "Do you remember the dance I danced in the second test of body shape?" Xiao Yao reminded, "I said at the time that that dance came from the script of an animated movie I was creating."

   "Robot Walle? I remember," Tong Luo said excitedly, "So, your script has been created, and you want to cooperate with our company to make this animated movie?"

   "Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "not only is the script finished, I also designed and drew some conceptual drawings of the main characters."

When Xiao Yao wrote the script, he felt that it might not be possible to do it with the current domestic animation technology. Originally, he wanted to sell the script to the soundtrack of "TeenVigilantes" Ron Disting or the producer Duran Waco. Hollywood studios. This cartoon was released in 2008, and it has been almost ten years away from now. Moreover, in this world, the difference in animation technology between China and the United States is not as great as Xiao Yao thought. I saw Tong Luo's galaxy special effects. After the company showed him the results, Xiao Yao found that he had completely wrongly estimated the gap in the animation production level between the two countries. With the current domestic animation technology, it seems that he is fully capable of producing this cartoon by himself, so he also I was ready to come out and cooperate with Tong Luo at this time.

   "I don't have these things online. If you are interested, I can ask my assistant to send them to me now." Xiao Yao continued. Since Xiao Yao came directly from the school with Tong Luo, he is alone now and he has no assistant to follow.

   "Of course I am very interested." Tong Luo nodded happily.

But soon, Tong Luo hesitantly said, "But making an animated film is a very money-consuming thing, and it is very common to do an animated film for three to five years. Although we can do animation, after all It's just a small special effects company. If our company does it on its own, with human and material resources, mainly financial resources, we may not be able to sustain it."

"I don't just sell the script to you." Xiao Yao said, "In addition to producing the script and participating in the design of the character image, I also invest myself. Of course, my investment is also limited. Even if I add me, it is not necessarily Enough. But since it is a movie, it is very common for multiple investors to produce jointly. We can make some sample clips first, and then use this as a proof to find other investors. Anyway, I didn’t ask for it. How long will it take for him to be made and to be shown in theaters, we can do it slowly."

   "This makes a lot of sense." Tong Luo nodded unconsciously.

   "In this case, I will call my assistant and let her send me the relevant information first. We will talk about it after reading the script." Xiao Yao said and took out his mobile phone.

  Fang still and Pei Minyi rented an apartment near Shenxi with three bedrooms and one living room. In addition to the two of them living together, they also reserved a room for Xiao Yao. Of course, this room was not reserved for Xiao Yao, but for him to put things in. For example, Xiao Yao may use several musical instruments and electronic sound equipment that he does not often use, and later new hand-discs and several guitars made by himself. These are things that are not convenient to put in the school dormitory. Haruka is directly placed in the residence of the two of them. Among them, it also includes some songs and script manuscripts that Xiao Yao has completed or is in the process of writing.

Fang still went to Yanjing to discuss the date and process of the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal with the Spring Festival Gala program group, and left Pei Minyi in Shencheng to help Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao also directly called his new phone. Assistant and makeup artist Pei Minyi asked her to come to Tongluo's company with the script of "Robot Walli" and the character image design in her room.

After working hard at the New Year’s Eve party, during the New Year’s holiday, Xiao Yao left his assistant again, and took the DV and a few friends to shoot the MV on the street. This made Pei Minyi, an assistant and makeup artist, very absent. A sense of existence, during this period of time I was frustrated with such a boss. When receiving Xiao Yao's call, Pei Minyi happened to be in a boring daze at her residence. Therefore, as soon as Xiao Yao's call was received, Pei Minyi went to Xiao Yao's room to find what she needed, and rushed over.

  After Pei Minyi delivered the things, Xiao Yao first showed Tong Luo the script and character concept map, and then talked to him carefully about his thoughts on the animated film.

After reading Xiao Yao’s script and character concept map, Tong Luo already liked the story and the animated movie very much. After listening to Xiao Yao’s thoughts, Tong Luo also made up his mind to make this animated movie. It came out.

  Because there is an original version in the previous life, Xiao Yao’s description is not only very specific and detailed, but also very vivid. To Tong Luo, Xiao Yao has not only created the script and the character image, but also has a formed movie in his mind. What they have to do is just take the movie in Xiao Yao’s mind. It's all restored. In this way, Tong Luo has a little more confidence in making this animated film. After all, the more specific Xiao Yao described and the more specific his requirements, the less useless work they did in their creation.

For example, some people make a two-hour movie, they may need to shoot seven or eight, or even nearly ten hours of material to edit, but if someone like Xiao Yao already has the finished product in his mind, he knows he wants What is it, maybe only three or four hours of material is enough. The savings are all time, manpower, and material resources...To put it bluntly, this is all money.

  After a full afternoon of detailed discussions, Tong Luo immediately decided to make this animated film with Xiao Yao, and directly put the director's title on Xiao Yao's head. According to Xiao Yao, his company will first produce some animation clips as a model, and then look for other investors to invest in joint production.

  Xiao Yao accepted the director title from Tong Luo, but it also showed that he could not devote himself to such a thing. He can come regularly to check the production progress and give his own opinions, but he can't always watch the production process in their company.

  Tong Luo understands Xiao Yao's situation better, so he also understands Xiao Yao's approach. After everything was negotiated, Tong Luo called the director of the Ministry of Commerce and signed a contract with Xiao Yao on the spot to co-produce this animated film.

  The cooperation matters were negotiated and the contract was signed, but the project did not start right away. Although Tong Luo is going to be an animated film, he has no plans to lose his previous business. He also had to let the company’s employees complete the next few businesses on hand, and then redeploy and integrate the company’s manpower and resources, arranging a small number of people to be responsible for regular businesses to maintain the company’s basic operations, and then recruit Some people and his selected employees dedicated themselves to the production of this animated film.

   Xiao Yao has no opinion on Tong Luo’s arrangement. Making this movie is a whim for him, he was not in a hurry, and he has been busy recently. There will be a final exam soon, and he will return to Yanjing to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala performance after the winter vacation. Although it's not good to be staring here all the time, once the project starts, he will definitely need to spend some thought on it. It is desirable for Xiao Yao not to start making this animated film in the near future.

  However, although the animated film didn’t start right away, Tong Luo did not forget why Xiao Yao approached him in the first place. The special effects in that MV are not too troublesome for Tong Luo's special effects company. Tong Luo also asked several employees in the company to suspend their work and first help Xiao Yao give the special effects he needs. He did it. It was also used as a meeting gift for the first cooperation with Xiao Yao. Since he is a partner, Xiao Yao accepted Tong Luo's free MV special effects.

  Almost two hours later, the special effects Xiao Yao needs are done. The initial goal was achieved, and the cooperation matters had been negotiated. Xiao Yao had nothing else to do, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye.

When    came, Xiao Yao came directly from the school in Tong Luo’s car. Now that Pei Minyi is here and there are things to be done in Tong Luo's company, Xiao Yao no longer troubles Tong Luo, and leaves Tong Luo's special effects company with Pei Minyi.

   "Boss, you talked about cooperation by yourself? Don't you need to still have sister, the agent present?" Pei Minyi couldn't help but ask Xiao Yao when he got in the car.

When he came to Shencheng from Yanjing, Fang still and Pei Minyi came by plane, but before the studio had equipped Xiao Yao with a car so that Fang was still driving, now Xiao Yao and Fang are still in Shencheng, the studio Nor did it take the car back and reschedule it, but sent someone to drive the car to Shencheng and continue to use it for Fang and Xiao Yao. The ultimate purpose of this car was to serve Xiao Yao. Fang still returned to Yanjing alone, leaving the car to Pei Minyi to drive.

"It's not all like this," Xiao Yao smiled, "Isn't this still going to Yanjing? It's just a contract. I have the final say. Is it because I want to fly back and fly over again? ? I can't leave it to your assistant and makeup artist to help me talk, so I have to come by myself."

   "That's right." Pei Minyi nodded and started the car.

"Speaking of this..." Xiao Yao suddenly turned to look at Pei Minyi, "Why don't you go to get a broker's license and also be my broker part-time? So if you encounter this in the future, it will still be absent. In case of the situation, I can also hand it over to you to help me negotiate the contract?"

   "Huh? Me?" Pei Minyi was taken aback, pointed her nose and said, "I will also be your agent?"

   "Look at the road," Xiao Yao stretched out his hand to support the steering wheel that Pei Minyi had just crooked because of surprise.

   "Oh." Pei Minyi simply braked and stopped the car, then turned to look at Xiao Yao, "Boss, you're serious? You want two brokers alone, still sister doesn't have any comments?"

"This..." Xiao Yao then realized that economic issues are still involved, so he touched his nose and said, "I just said it casually for the sake of being lazy. But you can also explore the same tone, if she If you have no opinion, you can also try an agent license. Of course, if she has an opinion, you can also take the exam. If you don’t be my agent, you may be able to be an agent of other celebrities in the future. Multiple certificates There are multiple paths in your body, so you won't be a makeup artist and assistant for me for the rest of your life, will you?"

   "Forget it, I'll continue to be a promising career as a makeup artist and assistant." Pei Minyi thought for a while, shook his head, and restarted the car.

But before the car started, someone came over and slapped the front cover of the car and shouted, "Hey, how do you drive? Dance with the car? Is there such a sharp turn? The car behind is very Do you know the ones who are easy to bump into? The people inside come down for me!"
