If you have money, you will become stronger.

Lin Beifan met Li Zhengdao, the chairman of Oriental Pictures in the Twin Towers

"I have admired Mr. Lin for a long time! I was really surprised to see you. Although it is said that you are very young, I didn’t expect you to be so young and not even as old as my son!"Li Zhengdao laughed.

"I never thought that someone like you, who could be a grandfather, would be so trendy as to make animated movies and even start a company!"Lin Beifan followed the good advice.

The two sat down facing each other, and the secretary came over to pour tea.

"This is why I have loved cartoons since I was a child. In our time, cartoons were all ink-based and full of spirituality. I liked them when I saw them. So I determined to do animation when I grow up."Li Zhengdao smiled.

Lin Beifan waited and nodded:"The animation at that time was indeed very brilliant. Ink animation can be said to be unique to our country. I heard that these artists drew it one by one. It is unique."

"Indeed, animation back then was nothing short of art. It's a pity that there is no such animation anymore……"

……

The two exchanged a few words and got down to business.

Li Zhengdao said seriously:"I guess you already know the purpose of my visit, Mr. Lin, so let's get down to business. Our Oriental Pictures makes animated films, and I entered this industry with the vision of creating Oriental Disney. But I I didn’t expect that animated movies are so sluggish in our country.……"

Li Zhengdao shook his head and smiled bitterly:"Our company has launched several animation works, but the results have been mediocre, and some have even been unable to make ends meet. Animated movies are a type of movies with large investments, long return cycles, and are very professional. After a few projects, our company's funds were exhausted. We have bottomed out, so we came here to seek external funds."

Lin Beifan nodded.

Animated movies are indeed a project with a large investment and a long return cycle.

Even for an ordinary animated film, the production cycle generally takes two years, and a more demanding 4.5 years, or even 7 or 8 years is possible. With this time, Lin Beifan doesn't know how many classic and good-looking movies he can make.

So when Lin Beifan invested in movies, he didn't even think about animated movies.

Moreover, animated movies are not currently booming in the international market, and there is even a certain prejudice. Everyone regards them as children's stuff and not worth spending money to watch in the cinema.

Also, the professional requirements for animation (bebj) animation film production are very high. At present, there are too few talents in this field in China, and they are seriously inadequate and their level is not good.

The quality of animated movies is not good and the market is not good. How can they make money?

Li Zhengdao continued:"We have looked for many film companies and a lot of capital, but as soon as they heard that we were engaged in animated films, they immediately shook their heads. I couldn't even get in several times. It was not easy to get in touch. Mr. Wu of Starlight Pictures, she is interested in this aspect and believes that the animation country should be promising, but she has not yet found a way to open it, so she is undecided, so she asked me to come to you."

Li Zhengdao said lightly. He lightly glanced at Lin Fan and said:"President Wu said that you have sharp eyes. If you think there is no problem, then there is no problem. Mr. Lin, look at this……

"She actually told me that. Lin Beifan nodded:"But to be honest, I'm really not very optimistic about animated movies."……"

Li Zhengdao's heart sank. Is this his only hope?

"This is affected by the overall environment, and change cannot happen overnight. No matter how good your work is, you may not be able to sell it for much money by then. With this time and energy, we at Starlight can make a lot of money just by tinkering with a movie. Don’t take it too easy!"

Li Zhengdao's heart sank again.

"But that doesn’t mean that animated movies have no future!"Lin Beifan thought of another time and space. Animated movies have become popular, especially Disney's animated movies, which are very popular around the world.

Their movies are suitable for all ages and talk about universal values, friendship, love, family ties, etc. , there are no so-called political factors, and there are no other cultural gaps. In addition, the production is excellent, so it is popular all over the world.

Animation is actually a type of film that can open up the international market.

If you want to go international, animated films are indispensable. A piece of puzzle.

Of course, it must have a good subject matter!

The technique must be excellent, otherwise it will still be a failure!

"Mr. Li, what kind of cooperation method do you plan to use? Lin Beifan asked.

Li Zhengdao's already sinking heart was raised again, and he said with some surprise:"There are two ways. One is to hope that you can participate in our animation production, that is, to invest in our animated movies. Everyone makes money together. The second way is to take over some of our animated films"

"Let’s look at the specific situation before talking about it."Lin Beifan was noncommittal.

"Now, I solemnly invite Mr. Lin to visit our company."Li Zhengdao said without hesitation.

It was okay, Lin Beifan decided to leave tomorrow.

The headquarters of Oriental Pictures is not in Jiangnan, but in Shanghai. When Lin Beifan arrived, the other party had already made arrangements, and all the staff were listed Welcome, make it look like the big boss is coming to inspect

"No need to be so exaggerated, let’s take a look at the project first!"Lin Beifan has seen this kind of scene too many times.

Originally, Li Zhengdao wanted to take Lin Beifan to visit his company to feel the spirit of his company, but he gave up immediately after hearing his opinions and took him directly to the conference hall, and then began to introduce it.

Li Zhengdao introduced it first. It was a few animated movies from the past, and some short movies were also played.

Lin Beifan found that Oriental Pictures mainly made 3D animation movies, and the technology was not bad. Although it was not as good as Hollywood, it could still achieve excellent pictures. and smooth.

From a professional point of view, these are indeed good animated films.

However, due to the influence of the general environment, they are not popular.

In addition, Lin Beifan also found that Oriental Pictures’ projects in recent years have been too complicated. Yes, I can’t see what the core idea is. It seems that I want to do everything, but I always have some spare energy and am afraid of taking risks, so I can’t do anything well.

"Show me the animated movie you are planning to release! Lin Beifan said.

Lin Beifan took the information handed over by Li Zhengdao, opened it, and his eyes suddenly froze.

"《Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage》？"

"《The devil boy of Nezha comes to the world》？"

Lin Beifan was surprised that it was actually these two animated movies. _To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novels
