It is now early November, and it has been nine months since the establishment of Xizi Film. During this period, Xizi Film has produced three self-made animated films, and none of them have been completed yet, not to mention the release and release of them. There are quite a few movies released by agents. After all, with a large platform, the money that should be made is indispensable.

Xizi Animation Studio, a subsidiary of Xizi Film, and the Shanhai Animation Studio, which has in-depth cooperation, has different division of labor between the two studios. The two studios have more than 500 technical members, and the combined number of people is very large. So many people are currently serving three animation films that are being produced at the same time.

The first group of people who were sent by Shanhai Animation Studio to participate in the animation production of "Shanhai Strange Man" and who went to Pixar to participate in the study and production have all returned and have also joined the production of these three animations.

Team building has begun to show results, and there will be no less investment in this area in the future.

At present, the progress of the three animated films is still OK. The fastest one will be completed before next summer vacation and may be released during the summer vacation. If it is slower, it will be during the National Day. If it is slower, it will also strive to be released on the New Year's Day.

If it is released on New Year's Day, the production cycle is about 18 months. This is a production cycle for animated movies, but if you look at the quality of the production, it will definitely be fast. The main reason is that the funding here is really enough and there will be no gap in funds. This aspect is considered to be accelerating to Hollywood animation production. Even in Hollywood, including Pixar, not every movie can have enough funds to burn.

To be honest, even though the other two major shareholders of Xizi Film and Penguin and 8 Stations were considered rich, they were somewhat panicked in the face of such exaggerated investment proposed by Meng Fan. However, this situation was alleviated soon after, and the reason was very simple, because the box office of animated movies was so big that animated movies had a box office of over 5 billion were released.

Facts once again prove that as long as you are sincere in the Chinese film market, you may get unexpected box offices. There is a huge market for local animated films in the Chinese market.

From Big Fish to Great Saint to Nezha, all of this is true. It is worth mentioning that the Bears Shower Series with always stable quality has always had very good box office returns.

After seeing or seeing the "miracle" of animation box office, Xizi Film's senior executives had the idea of ​​hoping to release a movie to harvest the box office as soon as possible, but in the end these ideas were left unresolved. They were all people in the industry, and they knew too well what kind of results would happen if they followed the trend. For example, the movie that followed immediately after the local science fiction film in China was a very typical example. Moreover, Xizi Film is more inclined to make long-term reputations, and the immediate interests are relatively light.

In addition to the animated films produced by Xizi Pictures, there is also the "Five Years and Three" plan to cooperate with Pixar. The first part of the first part is faster than here. The first item of today's meeting is about this movie. In addition to the management of Xizi Pictures, Pixar staff also participated in the form of video conferences.

The result of the discussion was that it was released after the Spring Festival. After all, no matter how collaborative the film was, it was impossible to release it in the Spring Festival.

This release date is one week earlier than the North American release date, which is not a strange thing.

After the agreed time, it was about the film promotion plan. In this regard, Meng Fan basically had no say and laymen didn't understand it.

The second meeting content is related to the project establishment of the new year. In addition to movies, Xizi Film will also be responsible for the production and distribution of some animation series due to its subordinate animation studios and Shanhai Animation Studios. The meeting initially stipulates that three (season) animations and one animation film will enter the production stage for the project establishment next year.

The most important reason here is that the current "production capacity" of Xizi Animation Studio and Shanhai Animation Studio is oversupply.

The last content of the meeting is also the most important content of this meeting, which is about the second Shanhai Animation Festival.

The time is February 22nd, just like the first session, and it is now necessary to enter the preparation stage after more than three months.

Because the Shanhai Animation Festival is closely related to Penguin, Xizi Film is the largest animation film company in the Chinese animation industry today. Even if there is no output, this scale cannot be eliminated. So Xizi Film is one of the organizers, and the prepared meeting was directly thrown here. The difference is that after the previous two meetings, some people from the industry came in to participate in the discussion and discussion together.

The first Shanhai Animation Festival was very successful, but no matter what, there were indeed some chaotic scenes. Because the hosting place underestimated the appeal of this Animation Festival or Meng Fan, there were too many unexpected and temporary changes. The second session will definitely have a good control in order, and the scale and other aspects will be larger than the first session.

The selection mechanism is the same as the first session, and it is divided into two parts: ordinary netizens and practitioners.

The biggest difference when the results of this conference came out is that the time of the animation festival has been changed to a week, and will host many evening parties and activities including the opening and closing ceremonies and awards ceremony, cos grand event, animation concert and other parties.

Next, all departments cooperate to arrange the venue, invite guests, and various rehearsals. Another very important part is to invite animation practitioners and related manufacturers and merchants to establish an animation festival management committee to be responsible for this matter.

The scale of the first session is enough to make Shanhai Animation Festival the largest animation festival in China. This time, we need to increase the specifications in terms of scale.

...

"How is it? Isn't it OK here?"

After the meeting, Meng Fan met Xing Tage who had been wandering around.

"What's wrong? You are the largest animation film company in China. I can be qualified to evaluate it." Xing Tage smiled.

Meng Fan asked: "Then are you interested in joining?"

Xing Tage was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, how could his little thoughts escape Meng Fan's eyes?

Meng Fan said again: "How about I arrange for you an actor and deputy director Dangdang?" He raised his eyebrows, "Your favorite."

Xing Tage rolled his eyes: "Stop talking nonsense, do I need to use this position to do anything?" He paused and laughed, "Besides, you are anime film company, who can I put a red sofa for the deputy director of the actors? Is it for voice actors? They are all monsters, I can't bear it!"

Meng Fan laughed and walked out of Xizi Film and Television with Xing Tage toward Damei Studio, and said sincerely: "We just set up three animation series projects today, one of which is a love anime series. Are you interested in participating in the screenwriter work? The director and screenwriter who have been decided are director Liang Chun, who you like very much. When we were chatting before, he mentioned "Campus Love Finger Men" to me, and asked me about the plot of this movie, etc...."

How could Xing Tage not understand Meng Fan’s intentions? He beat the shoulder of helping and said, “If possible, I want to start with his screenwriter assistant.”
