Superstar starts from the Film and Television Academy

The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the newest addition to your family.

To be frank, what was Bird Video when it was first established? There was almost nothing but a [Tomb Raider] IP, and it was Han Fei who was carrying the sign forward step by step, the pressure of which could be imagined.

The next day, Yang Kai and the others packed their luggage and had a trip to say goodbye, and Jiang Qinghou also went back to see his daughter-in-law.

Han Fei also came to the special effects company as promised, Ming Chengzong has completely transformed from a professional manager, in fact, the producer is definitely a very grinding work, not only with the government departments, but also with the investors to negotiate, in addition to the start of the crew also belong to his management, the situation is much more complicated than the average company.

So Ming Chengzong manages the special effects company, and apart from being a little uncomfortable at first, everything is handled well, especially the scheduling of work for the various special effects teams.

The special effects company has three special effects teams, each team of seven employees, a project leader, their year-end performance and bonuses are from the project profits, so assigning them work is not a simple job, and if you are not careful, it is easy to cause problems.

Yuan Hong was a little worried at first, this young man wearing glasses a little dull, will not screw things up, the results of a few months of contact, found that people deal with things that is a watertight, heart lamented worthy of Han Fei selected people.

"Is the company saturated with projects now?" Han Fei called Ming Chengzong into the conference room with Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong looked at Ming Chengzong and shook his head: "Don't say saturated, the current project is not enough to share, now the entire film and television industry is tightening its purse strings, a lot of special effects companies in order to survive and even take on work at a loss, if not for the support of Hua Yi Culture and Century New Star's list, we are afraid that we would not be able to uncover the pot."

In response to Yuan Hong's act of spouting bitterness, Han Fei just laughed and didn't make a sound, but looked at Ming Chengzong, who also just nodded his head slightly, saying: there was exaggeration, but it was basically true.

"Mr. Yuan, I just had a new idea this time and came to talk to you." As soon as Han Fei's voice fell, Yuan Hong just brightened up, the company had his shares, so as long as it was a profitable project, he was naturally willing to do it.

Seeing Yuan Hong's appearance, Han Fei smiled in his heart, it is true that money can make the devil move, and now he no longer sells the barrier.

"I'm going to pull out a special effects team and re-establish an animation department ......."

This was actually the Western Universe Conception, or rather, Mythic Universe Worldview that Han Fei had told Zhang Liang, Liu Bin, and the others about before.

There's no doubt about the IP value of Journey to the West, but unfortunately the gang in the film and television industry seems to have been on the wrong track, and while 50-cent special effects are certainly a big reason why many film and television companies have failed, they're definitely not the biggest reason.

Film and television drama is all about telling the audience a story with the most visual images, and if you can't even do basic storytelling, even if the special effects are gorgeous, no audience will buy it.

The story of the Journey to the West is well known, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage, many film and television companies are just forced to make magic changes to the plot, coupled with some dogged characters, indiscriminately, after the box office flopped, began to make a lot of noise, the Journey to the West IP has no development value at all, so much so that Zhang Liang and Liu Bin, such as the CEO of the top video platform is also pale at the news.

In fact, in Han Fei's opinion, the entire Huaxia mythology system was very complicated because there were too many human factors involved, and many ancient records were different and difficult to sort out.

But the two classics, Journey to the West and Seal of the Gods, are a good way of sorting out the mythological system, and while there are many controversial points, they are like two threads that can be used by future generations to find the truth out of a mess.

If you follow the threads and build a complete worldview of the mythical universe, there are countless themes that can be adapted, which is an inexhaustible treasure trove.

Chapter 276 - The Dark West.

"Anime?" Not to mention Yuan Hong is confused, even Ming Chengzong is a bit baffled, how is it that the very anime is involved? The company has never done anything like this before.

"Actually animation isn't as complicated as you think, it's even simpler than doing special effects, you can dig some people from the market who have relevant experience in the industry to come over, writers and artists, you can find headhunters for these." Han Fei didn't explain too much to them, if the boss spent all his time explaining to his subordinates, he wouldn't be able to do much in a day.

Yuan Hong and Ming Chengzong also understood at the sight of Han Fei's attitude that the boss had made a good decision and had not come to ask for their opinion, but to let them work.

The headhunter to be very helpful, directly from a dying animation company to poach a group of project leader, in fact, although these years China's animation market gradually improved, but the real profitability of the animation company is not many.

When Liu Chengming came to the special effects company to apply for the job, he was still a bit puzzled, this company does not seem to do animation ah, there is no animation atmosphere.

To the office, Liu Chengming just took out his resume, as soon as he heard that the animation department was just established, almost shrank back the resume, heart cursed, really headhunter is not reliable.

But after hearing the terms and conditions of Ming Chengzong's package, which was 20% higher than his original salary, Liu Chengming was tempted again, which made him torn, should he turn around and leave, or should he fight it out?

"Huh? A guest?" Han Fei was surprised.

Liu Chengming froze at the sight of Han Fei, or Ming Chengzong introduced him, "This is our boss, you should know him."

"Acquaintance, too acquaintance, our company wanted to do an anime version of [Tomb Raider] before, but unfortunately we never had the copyright, then we made a copy of it by playing a ball, and the profit was pretty good." Liu Chengming scratched his head somewhat embarrassed.

Well, it was true that there were always more ways than difficulties.

After meeting Han Fei, Liu Chengming did not hesitate to choose a fight, looking for a job is like choosing a thigh, to hold the thicker one of course, in terms of assets, Han Fei has surpassed most of the owners of animation companies, and holding the super IP of [Tomb Raider], just to produce an anime version is enough for this new department to eat and drink.

Ryu Chengming said that he would be able to come to work next week and bring his company's original artists over, and Ming Chengzong was happy to send him to the door of the company.

"I've already contacted two screenwriters who will be coming over to serve in the next two days, so you can make arrangements at that time." Regarding the matter of screenwriters in the animation department, Han Fei thought left and right, but still felt that traditional screenwriters were difficult to handle the job, so he purposely chose two writers from the group of authors who specialized in writing fairy tales.

It's funny, the group of writers was all boisterous last night when they heard about the recruitment of writers, and the treatment given by Han Fei was not bad, with a base salary of 20,000 a month and a good commission.

The author's profession is actually very unprotected, unless it is written to a long contract, the god level, otherwise the income plummeted, sometimes even several months no fee, so the two jobs thrown out, was welcomed by the majority of authors, of course, the majority of the lively, the group was quickly eliminated.

The more interesting thing is that after this incident, it was also thoroughly confirmed that the owner of the group, that is, Han Fei, the identity of the second generation of rich and big brother, special effects company, animation department, this compulsion is unbelievable.

One of the two writers who eventually got the post was a former screenwriter at a film and television company, but then the company went out of business and had no choice but to go astray and put in the line of network writers, and now they have a chance to return to their line, naturally they are full of joy.

The other one was a member of the comic club in college and drew a cartoon of the Monkey King on the spot for Han Fei, who hired him despite his lack of screenwriting experience.

To say that money is easy to work with, in less than half a month, all the personnel of the newly established animation department were in place, and Liu Chengming also became the technical director of the animation department.

The first regular meeting, presided over by Han Fei, the two new screenwriters just joined the eyes of the straight, they did not expect that the boss of the new company is actually Han Fei, not to mention, the future with the author group of people to brag about how strong?

After Han Fei said a few polite words to welcome his new colleagues to the team, he cut to the chase, "Today's first regular meeting is also to determine the development path of the animation department."

Three keywords appeared on the conference room projector's PPT: 3D, darkness, and mythology.

The two writers didn't have any reaction, but Liu Chengming and the other new employees were a bit confused. 3D is understandable, and it saves costs, but in fact, many people have misunderstandings about 3D and 2D anime. 3D looks high, but the cost is actually lower, on the contrary, 2D anime has very high requirements for painting, sometimes dozens of different paintings are needed for a short second, and if it is calculated according to 24 frames per second, there are 24 paintings needed in a second to realize the dynamics of the characters.

I have to admire the wisdom of the Chinese people, the same stage since the competition can not beat, so let's change the track, we are on the same starting line to start again.

Just like the credit card system in Europe and the United States, if Huaxia follows their system, how can they be perfect, so there is Alipay with WeChat, instead of being more convenient than them.

Liu Chengming is really didn't think that Han Fei put the [Tomb Raider] anime version that can make money lying down and don't use it, but instead to start again from zero ....... Is this money capricious? Or is it that you won't turn back until you hit the south wall? Do you have to bang your head on the ground to find out how much fun it is to lie around and make money?

The two screenwriters do pose their own question: "Well, where should we start?"

Han Fei changed a PowerPoint, "I have summarized the mythological system of Huaxia, which can be roughly divided into four parts: the ancient flood, the ancient sealing of the gods, the medieval journey to the west, and the modern immortals, my suggestion is to start with the Journey to the West, however, the traditional understanding of the journey to the west will definitely not work, it is up to you to improve the entire worldview of the journey to the west. "

The rest of us were dumbfounded, and the two writers were worthy of being web writers by birth, and their ability to understand, that was a bar, quickly summing up two key words: "Dark West? My life is not up to me?"

After the meeting was over, the two writers began to hold the original Journey to the West and began to gnaw on it, jotting down keywords they found interesting as they gnawed, so that they could easily apply them to the new system afterwards.

For them, it was like writing a new outline for a new one, breaking the original's original worldview, then extracting useful elements from it and reconstructing the worldview, even if this worldview completely overturned the original, as long as it could form a system and justify itself, there would definitely be readers who would buy it.

Chapter 277 - Pawn Goku.

Almost a week later, the two screenwriters approached Liu Chengming with their script outline, and Liu Chengming was so confused that he had to report it.

Han Fei take a look at a secret nod, don't say this two really not for nothing, and more interesting is, they did not break the original Journey to the West system, but the entire Journey to the West of the dark side of the spread out, plainly for all to see.

For example, Sun Wukong is actually a pawn of the Jade Emperor in order to control the power, and his existence is actually a scapegoat for the Jade Emperor, which can be seen from the fact that the Jade Emperor has a monkey guarding the Peach Garden.

This is the prerequisite for the entire Western Traveler World System to take shape. Every 500 years, the Jade Emperor treats immortals, gods, and Buddhas equally during the Heavenly Tribulation, and the most common and effective way to avoid Heavenly Tribulation is to eat coiled peaches, because the yield of coiled peaches is high enough.

And there were actually two forces present in the heavens, a group of immortals headed by the old king Taishang, and a group of gods headed by the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor is nominally the supreme emperor of the heavens, but in reality he lives a very lousy life and depends on the old emperor for everything, not even being able to decide on his own who to invite to the Peach Banquet.
