After Zhang Tan visited Changmei Animation Company, he returned to the conference room for a brief exchange and at the same time listened to the company introduction of Changmei Animation.
This company is one of the earliest animation companies in China, and its influence is comparable to that of Pujiang Film Studio. One is in the north and the other is in the south, complementing each other.
However, Changmei Animation's development has been unsatisfactory after the new century. After several major projects failed, its vitality was seriously damaged and it has never fully recovered.
Pujiang Film Studio has had a smoother journey, at least in the field of animation, they have not lost to anyone.
But after starting the transformation and entering the field of live-action film and television, they made mistakes. They worked on it for several years and invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but the result was never popular. There was no hit project. The best one was the slightly popular "Secretary Kim"
》.
Until, later, Zhang Tan joined Pujiang Studio and transferred from the animation department to the live-action film and television department.
The first work "Little Opera Bones" was a small hit.
The second film "Thirty Years Old" was an immediate hit and brought Pujiang Studios into high gear.
After Zhang Tan left Pujiang Studio, although the company did not launch any big-hit products, it has been developing well after recruiting a large number of key film and television talents.
Changmei Animation, on the other hand, is not as lucky as Pujiang Studio. They have not transformed into live-action film and television, and still focus on animation.
However, there are not many popular animation projects. "Qin Shi Mingyue", a collaboration with Zhang Tan, is one of their mainstays.
Unconsciously, it has been almost three years since "Qin Shi Mingyue" was serialized, and the animation has also been aired in its fifth season. The ratings are still very good, and the brand IP is very strong.
However, considering long-term development, Changmei Animation must cultivate another super IP. Several projects they tried failed to meet expectations.
So I once again focused my attention on Little Red Horse Comics Studio and on Zhang Tan.
Fortunately, they have been cooperating with Zhang Tan, and the cooperation went smoothly, so when they learned that "Kung Fu Panda" was seeking to be adapted into an animation this time, they did not hesitate to win.
Although the price they paid was high, their determination was also great.
Otherwise, they really may not be able to compete with other competitors, especially the Pujiang Film Studio, which is close to the water and is first-come-first-served.
Zhang Tan also considered the long-term cooperation with Chang Mei. "Qin Shi Mingyue" has been out for so many years, so he really needs to do another project.
As a result, the two sides hit it off immediately.
The person sitting next to Zhang Tan was Xin Xiaoguang, and there were only two of them. There was a row of people sitting opposite, and most of the senior leaders of Changmei Animation were here.
Appears to be taken seriously.
This made Xin Xiaoguang very satisfied. In order to avoid stage fright, he carried the whole process to support Zhang Tan.
He couldn't help but think to himself, if he had known this, he should have called a few more people. Just him and Zhang Tan, no matter how impressive they were, were at least at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Zhang Tan didn't care about this. He was talking and laughing with the other party, and his thoughts were not as complicated as Xin Xiaoguang's.
A staff member pushed open the door and came in, holding a camera. He walked over and took pictures. On the chairs against the wall, there were several people from the publicity department sitting on the chair, taking notes all the time.
After a pleasant exchange, the two parties prepared to sign the contract and launch the project. A banner was raised in the conference room. Staff members found Xin Xiaoguang, discussed and checked the contract text, and then handed the text to their leaders.
Zhang Tan opened it and took a casual look, walked to one of the two seats in the center and sat down. The general manager of Changmei Animation also sat down. The two signed the red text, handed it to each other, stood up and shook hands.
, the staff picked up the camera and took pictures.
Xin Xiaoguang also took photos with his camera.
After signing the agreement, there is a simple project launch ceremony.
The ceremony process had been communicated in advance. Zhang Tan and the other party's general manager went through it according to the process, and the whole thing was over.
The general manager of Changmei Animation invited Zhang Tan to his office for tea. It was time for a private chat.
Xin Xiaoguang didn't follow him anymore. This was a separate conversation between Zhang Tan and the other party.
He was looking for Xiaobai, and someone was there to entertain them.
In the evening, Changmei Animation held a banquet, and seven or eight people came back. Basically, everyone who participated in the afternoon meeting came.
Because we had communicated beforehand, we didn’t drink any wine at dinner, we just simply ate, and the atmosphere was very good.
After dinner, the other party planned to arrange other programs, but Zhang Tan declined.
He made an appointment with Wang Yu to attend a class reunion in the evening.
Originally, Wang Yu wanted to make an appointment to have dinner together, but Zhang Tan didn't have time, and Zhang Tan didn't have time tomorrow either. He took Xiaobai to visit the Forbidden City in the morning, the two of them ate out at noon, and flew back to Pujiang in the evening.
Zhang Tan left with Xiaobai, and Xin Xiaoguang was left alone.
Xiaobai told him not to run around. Xin Xiaoguang felt strange. This was not something Xiaobai would say, but more like what his girlfriend said.
He was very suspicious that Xiao Yuan had warned Xiao Bai, maybe to let Xiao Bai monitor him.
In the car, Xiaobai asked Zhang Tan curiously: "How many classmates do you have?"
Zhang Tan said: "There are many, there are more than 40 classmates in the same class, and there are more than 100 classmates in the same department."
"I have more than 40 classmates, and there are even more classmates in my school, too many to count."
Zhang Tan smiled and said: "You will have more classmates in the future, and you can make many good friends."
Xiaobai nodded and said immediately that her best friends are Xiwa and Xiaomi, Cheng Cheng, and Liliu and Dudu.
"I like all the little red horse's melons."
The two chatted and laughed when they arrived at the agreed place.
This is a private club located near the Peking Film Academy. The location is very quiet and shaded by trees. It is a high-end place.
Zhang Tan knew about this place when he was in college, but he came here often because the cost here was too high and he couldn't afford it as a student.
His family is relatively well off, but students from ordinary families can't even afford it, so they stay away from this place.
Zhang Tan got out of the car, opened the door on the other side, and wanted to take Xiaobai out of the car.
"No, I can do it myself!"
Xiaobai got out of the car and laughed.
As soon as they got out of the car, a man and a woman came over to greet them.
There were very few people in front of this club. As soon as Zhang Tan's taxi arrived, someone noticed it.
"Zhang Tan!"
A female voice sounded.
"Wang Yu, did you guys arrive first?"
Zhang Tan recognized the other party as Wang Yu.
The last time he and Wang Yu met was at the beginning of last year, and they haven't seen each other since.
I haven’t seen him for nearly a year and a half. Wang Yu has changed a lot. His image has become much more refined and his temperament has matured.
Wang Yu's family conditions are very average. In rural areas, living conditions have always been poor. When he was studying, he did not have the financial conditions to pay attention to his personal image. Now that he has worked for many years and has a certain financial ability, he has begun to pay attention to this issue.
After all, you don't have to pay attention to your image when you are a student, but after entering society, you have to pay attention to your work.
"Xiaobai~do you still know me?"
The man next to Wang Yu spoke.
Xiaobai heard this and stared at the other person.
"Ah, you are that one, oh, I remembered, you are that one, you are acting in a movie, you are..."
The other party thought that Xiaobai would be able to say his name in the next second, but in the end, he didn't say who he was for a long time.
He was extremely disappointed.
"I have acted in movies with Liliu," he reminded.
Xiaobai: "Haha, I know, I know, you acted in a movie, my old man's movie, Liuliu is Da Yanyan, you are also there, I know you, you are the one, oh, are you okay?
Did you have dinner?"
"..."
Wang Yu laughed loudly and said: "Hello Wang Jun, don't take the novice test. How can other children remember you?"
Wang Junhao said: "Xiaobai remembers me. She just suddenly saw me and was so excited that she couldn't remember my name. Let alone children, even us adults, don't we often have this time? Right, Xiaobai
.”
Xiaobai nodded: "Yes, you are right."
Wang Yu said: "Xiaobai, do you still remember me?"
Xiaobai had been sizing her up for a long time, but he didn't remember who she was after thinking about it for a long time.
After all, it was a year and a half ago when she met Wang Yu, and Wang Junhao didn't even remember that she met him at the beginning of this year, let alone her!
"Don't remember?" Wang Yu asked.
Xiaobai scratched the watermelon head, unable to remember, distressed and irritable:
"My brain hurts so much, why do you all have to ask me if I remember?!!"
"I don't remember!"
Xiaobai muttered something in a low voice, but if it wasn't to give her old man face, she would have said it loudly.
