Entertaining Children

"In that case, I have a project that I can discuss with you, Teacher Tong. ? Eight? One Chinese Website W≈WW.81ZW.COM" Seeing Tong Luo being so generous, Xiao Yao thought of another plan of his own.

"Project? Your language habits..." Tong Luo smiled and said, "Okay, tell me."

"I know you are a special effects company, but just now I saw your work exhibition, not only did special effects, but also made some animation clips for game companies, right?" Xiao Yao asked Tong Luo.

"Yeah, we can also do animation." Tong Luo nodded with a smile, "What? Did you write another funny song like Fan Linxuan's "Song of Pigs" and wanted us to make a song for you? Do you want to make the mV with the animation video?"

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

"It's not an animation mv, it's a regular animation movie." Xiao Yao shook his head and said.

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

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "I don't know if you have watched the video of my art test in Shenxi?"

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

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

"WALL-E the robot? I remember," Tong Luo said excitedly, "So, your script has been written, and you want to cooperate with our company to make this animated film?"

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "Not only is the script finished, but I have even designed and drawn some conceptual drawings of the main characters."

When Xiao Yao wrote this script, he felt that it might not be possible to do it with the current animation technology in China. He originally wanted to sell the script to Ron Distin, the soundtrack composer of "TeenVigi1antes", or Duran Waco, the producer. Hollywood studios. This cartoon was released in 2008 in the previous life, and it has been almost ten years since now. Moreover, in this world, the animation technology difference between China and the United States is not as big as Xiao Yao thought. Seeing Tong Luo's galaxy special effects After the company showed him the results, Xiao Yao found that he had completely miscalculated the gap in animation production level between the two countries. With the current domestic animation technology, it seems that he is fully capable of making this cartoon by himself, so he also I am going to take it out and cooperate with Tong Luo at this time.

"I don't have these things online,

I can have my assistant send it to me right now if you're interested. "Xiao Yao continued. Since Xiao Yao and Tong Luo came directly from the school, he is alone now, and there is no assistant accompanying him.

"Of course I'm very interested." Tong Luo nodded happily.

But soon, Tong Luo hesitated and said, "But making an animated film is a very expensive thing, and it is very common to make an animated film for three to five years. Although we can do animation, after all It’s just a small special effects company, if we just do it ourselves, with manpower, material resources, and mainly financial resources, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to support it.”

"I'm not just selling scripts to you." Xiao Yao said, "In addition to producing scripts and participating in the design of character images, I will also invest myself. Of course, my investment is also limited, even if I are added, it may not necessarily Enough. But since it is a movie, it is very common for multiple investors to jointly produce it. We can make some sample clips first, and then use it as evidence to find other investors. Anyway, I didn’t ask for it. How long does it take to make him out and arrange it to be released in theaters, we can do it slowly."

"That makes sense." Tong Luo nodded unconsciously.

"If that's the case, then I'll call my assistant and ask her to send me the relevant information first, and we'll talk about it in detail after reading the script." Xiao Yao said, taking out his mobile phone.

Fang Yiran and Pei Minyi rented an apartment near Shenxi with three bedrooms and one living room. Besides the two of them living together, they also reserved a room for Xiao Yao. Of course, this room is not reserved for Xiao Yao to live in, but for him to store things. For example, several musical instruments that Xiao Yao may use but not often, electronic audio equipment, the newly-made hand disc and a few guitars made by himself, these things that are not convenient to put in the school dormitory, Xiao Yao Yao is placed directly in the residence of the two of them. Among them, some manuscripts of songs and scripts that Xiao Yao has completed or is currently composing are also included.

Fang Yiran has already gone to Yanjing to discuss with the Spring Festival Gala program team about the date and process of the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, and left Pei Minyi in Shencheng to help Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao directly called his new Assistant and make-up artist Pei Minyi asked her to come to Tong Luo's company in her room with the script of "Wall-E" and the character image design drawings.

It was hard work at the New Year's Eve party. As a result, during the New Year's Day holiday, Xiao Yao got rid of his assistant and went to the street with a dV and a few friends to shoot the mV. This made Pei Minyi, an assistant and makeup artist, very embarrassed. Sense of presence, I am frustrated with having such a boss during this period of time. When receiving Xiao Yao's call, Pei Minyi happened to be bored in the residence, so as soon as she received Xiao Yao's call, Pei Minyi immediately went to Xiao Yao's room to find what she needed, and rushed here in a hurry.

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

After reading Xiao Yao's script and character concept art, Tong Luo already liked this story and this animated film very much. After listening to Xiao Yao's ideas, Tong Luo also made up his mind to make this animated film It came out.

Because the original version existed in the previous life, Xiao Yao's description is not only very specific and detailed, but also very vivid. From Tong Luo's ears, Xiao Yao not only created the script and character images, but also had a formed movie already in his mind. Just restore it. In this way, it also gave Tong Luo a little more confidence in making this animated film. After all, the more specific Xiao Yao described and requested, the less useless work they did in their creation.

For example, some people may need to shoot seven, eight, or even nearly ten hours of material for editing a two-hour movie, but if someone like Xiao Yao already has a finished product in his mind and knows what he wants What is it, perhaps as long as three or four hours of material is enough. The savings are all time, manpower, and material resources... To put it bluntly, it's all money.

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

Xiao Yao accepted the title of director sent by Tong Luo, but it also showed that it was impossible for him to dedicate himself to such a thing. He can come over regularly to check the production progress and give his own opinions, but he can't stay in their company for the whole production process.

Tong Luo knew Xiao Yao's situation better, so he also understood Xiao Yao's approach. After everything was agreed upon, Tong Luo called the director of the Commerce Department and signed a contract with Xiao Yao to co-produce this animation film on the spot.

The cooperation matters were negotiated and the contract was signed, but the project did not start immediately. Although Tong Luo wanted to make an animated film, he didn't plan to lose his previous business. He also has to let the company's employees complete the next few businesses at hand, and then re-deploy and integrate the company's manpower and resources, and arrange a small number of people to be responsible for routine business to maintain the company's basic operations. Some hands were dedicated to the production of the animated film, along with his chosen staff.

Xiao Yao has no objection to Tong Luo's arrangement. Making this film was a whim of his, and he wasn't in a hurry at first, and he's been quite busy recently, with final exams coming soon, and going back to Yanjing to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala performance after the winter vacation. Although it is good not to stare here all the time, but once the project starts, he will definitely need to spend some thought on it. It is also a dream for Xiao Yao not to start making this animated film in the near future.

However, although the animated film matter did not start immediately, Tong Luo did not forget the reason why Xiao Yao sought him out in the first place. The special effects in that mV were 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 helped Xiao Yao give him the special effects he needed. He made it. It was also used as a meeting ceremony for the first cooperation with Xiao Yao. Now that he is a partner, Xiao Yao accepted Tong Luo's free production of MV special effects with peace of mind.

After about two hours, the special effects Xiao Yao needed were ready. The initial goal has been achieved, and the cooperation has been negotiated. Xiao Yao has nothing else to do, so he took advantage of the opportunity to bid farewell.

When he came, Xiao Yao came directly from the school in Tong Luo's car. Now that Pei Minyi is here, and Tong Luo's company has something to do, Xiao Yao no longer bothers Tong Luo, and left Tong Luo's special effects company with Pei Minyi.

"Boss, you talked about the cooperation by yourself? Don't you need the presence of the manager, Sister Yiran?" Sitting in the car, Pei Minyi couldn't help asking Xiao Yao.

At the beginning when they came to Shanghai from Yanjing, Fang Yiran and Pei Minyi came by plane, but before the studio provided Xiao Yao with a car to let Fang still drive, now both Xiao Yao and Fang Yiran came to Shencheng, the studio He did not take the car back and rearrange it, but sent someone to drive the car to Shencheng, where it continued to be used by Fang Yiran and Xiao Yao. The ultimate purpose of this car was to serve Xiao Yao. Fang Yiran returned to Yanjing by himself and left the car to Pei Minyi to drive.

"It's not always like this," Xiao Yao smiled, "Isn't it still going to Yanjing? It's just a contract. The conditions are all up to me. Do you want to fly back and fly over for this? ? I can’t leave it to you, an assistant and makeup artist, to help me talk, so I can only come by myself.”

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

"Speaking of this..." Xiao Yao suddenly turned his head to look at Pei Minyi and said, "Why don't you also go to get a broker's license and work as my manager part-time? Then if you encounter this kind of situation in the future and still don't I can hand it over to you to negotiate a contract for me?"

"Ah? Me?" Pei Minyi was taken aback, pointed to her nose and said, "I'll be your manager too?"

"Look at the road," Xiao Yao stretched out his hand to support Pei Minyi's steering wheel that was tilted because of surprise just now.

"Oh." Pei Minyi slammed on the brakes to stop the car, turned to look at Xiao Yao and said, "Boss, are you serious? You want two managers for yourself, and sister still has no objection?"

"This..." Only then did Xiao Yao realize that economic issues were involved, so he rubbed his nose and said, "I just said this casually for the sake of being lazy. But you can also test Yi Yi's tone, if she If you don’t have any objection, you can also try to take an agent license exam. Of course, if she has an opinion, you can also take the exam. Instead of being my agent, you may be the agent of other stars in the future. Multiple certificates You have many paths, you won’t be my makeup artist and assistant for the rest of your life, will you?”

"Forget it, I'll continue to be a makeup artist and assistant, a promising career." Pei Minyi thought for a while, then shook her head and started the car again.

But before the car started, someone came over, slapped the front hood of the car and shouted: "Hey, how do you drive? Are you dancing with the car? Is there such a sharp turn? The car behind is very Do you know that it is easy to hit? The people inside come down for me!"
