Zhang Yang only started to pay attention to domestic animated movies since "The Return of the Great Sage". Since then, "Big Fish and Begonia", "Wind Speech", "The Origin of White Snake", "Nezha Devil Child Comes into the World", "Jiang Ziya", etc. have deep impressions, each with surprises and shortcomings.

In terms of personal feelings, he loves the three most "The Return of the Great Sage", "The Origin of the White Snake" and "Nezha Devil Child Comes to the World". They compare each other with their own advantages and disadvantages. "The Return of the Great Sage" appeared the earliest. It can be said that he was the first to let him see hope, and at the same time shocked the progress of domestic animation movies when he didn't know it.

I love the style of the white snake the most, but I am helpless like the Great Sage, and the plot is very bad.

"Nezha" created the box office myth of domestic animated movies. Zhang Yang thought that one of the important reasons was the plot - he will finally tell a complete story!

Of course, the so-called bad plot is actually not the original intention of the main creative team, because the style of painting is too professional, and investors will not interfere too much. The plot... is something that everyone thinks they understand, and those who pay the money feel that they understand more than anyone else.

So he pointed at all kinds of tricks, and the main creative team lacked enough voice, so he could only hide in the corner and cry silently, and then be scolded silently.

Zhang Yang had already considered it before, but decided to film "The Return of the Great Sage" first, so the plot naturally needs to be changed.

It is difficult to get him to create an original movie script, but it is still possible to make changes through fingers.

However, there is no hurry to do this at the moment. First of all, you have to meet Wei Xiang before you can decide the next trend. Moreover, the investment in animation movies is large and the risks are high. If you accidentally waste tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, you must be careful.

In addition, he really has the ambition to build a mythical universe and have to make arrangements from scratch. Otherwise, he would swear to promote the creation of a feudal universe like Jiang Ziya and Nezha. As a result, the image of the same character is very different in different works, but he would slap himself in the face.

Wei Xiang sent the address through WeChat, so Zhang Yang drove his claw Huang Feidian and took Lin Yiran to lightning. In order not to waste such an expensive car, he almost buzzed and accelerated after passing the traffic light, feeling that his average speed should be nearly fifty yards per hour, setting a new high.

Wei Xiang's workplace was in a relatively old office building. Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran went to the place to see it. It was lunch break and many people came and went, so they decisively slipped away again, wandered around, and found a cafe nearby to sit and rest for a while, and waited until work time passed.

Before leaving, I bought coffee by the head of the person, so Lin Yiran and Lin could not handle it naturally, so I had to order orders on the spot through the takeaway platform.

The two followed the delivery guy back and got off the car with big sunglasses. They were still recognized while waiting for the elevator. Fortunately, they didn't have to worry about causing too many people to get surrounded by them during working hours.

Wei Xiang received the news that he went to the elevator with a man who was about thirty years old to pick him up, so that he would not be able to find the door and be caught by more people.

After a few greetings, Wei Xiang introduced his colleague next to him on his behalf, named Xu Yashan, who is considered as the deputy director.

I quickly came to Wei Xiang's office along the corridor, with the words "Rainbow Animation Studio" posted at the door. After entering, I saw that the office was still spacious. A team of less than 20 people were sitting in front of the computer. Obviously, I had already received the news that Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran came over, and the coffee had been delivered first. Not many people were working hard at this moment.

Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran greeted these people, looked at other devices except the computer curiously, and then went to the small conference room with Wei Xiang and Xu Yashan to have a detailed discussion.

After sitting down, Wei Xiang gave a brief introduction to the situation.

This "Rainbow Animation Studio" has just been established for more than two years. The boss is a rich second generation. According to me, the establishment of this work was purely "a passionate" and it was necessary to contribute part of the rise of Chinese animation.

After graduating, Xu Yashan has been working in the animation industry and has been to many companies. Later, he made a notebook and wanted to turn him into reality. When he met the boss of this studio in a bar, he was fooled.

After joining, he could only do some outsourcing projects. Xu Yashan kept urging him, but although the boss was passionate, he couldn't afford that much money. It was not until early last year that he finally found a company to cooperate with and started the project.

Rainbow animation is responsible for the production, but most of the money is paid by the other party, so naturally people speak more effectively.

This is a story that Xu Yashan began to conceive since college, but the other party did not believe in domestic directors, so he found Wei Xiang, who had foreign work experience, and directly took over the air, and Xu Yashan could only assist.

Xu Yashan originally wanted to make a movie, but the other party felt that the movie was too risky, and domestic animated movies were no different from being a waste. He was planning to turn the love story of this fox demon into a large-scale domestic animated series with fifty episodes.

——The state has subsidies, so that even if the results are not ideal, at least you won’t lose money.

What Wei Xiang wanted to do was also a movie, but she knew the risks and liked the story about the white fox that Xu Yashan conceived, so she finalized the direction and started working.

Over the past year, all kinds of contradictions and compromises were mainly compromises and adjustments made by the two-way production team under the guidance of the investors. After finally sticking to it, the work has gradually gotten on track.

As a result, there was an unexpected situation - the animation policy subsidy adjustment, the investor calculated it and felt that the subsidy was too small and that it would cost money. So he quickly responded and reached a consensus with the boss of Rainbow Animation: reduce investment and quickly put it on!

Wei Xiang and Xu Yashan did not want to turn their efforts into shoddy waste of subsidies, so they had to think of another way out. In fact, there was only one way to find new funds to inject them to maintain normal production.

"That's probably what happened."

When Wei Xiang was talking, Xu Yashan lowered his head next to her. After hearing her say it, he raised his head again. Many red-wired eyes looked at Zhang Yang, and quickly moved them away, paying attention with his eyes.

Zhang Yang thought about it and asked, "How many have you made?"

"Thirty minutes."

"Can I take a look?"

"certainly!"

After hearing what he said, Wei Xiang and Xu Yashan were both happy. There was a computer in the conference room, which played an animation for Zhang Yang and Lin Yiran, and the picture was quite exquisite.

A snow-white little fox was running away in the vast mountains and forests, and someone chased him from behind. Then it turned into a human form. A beautiful girl with a pure face and a charming figure wearing a white gauze dress started fighting with those people. The fighting scenes were pretty good, especially the little fox demon always showed her beautiful figure from time to time, which was pleasing to the eye.

The little fox demon ran away with injuries, dying, turned into his body, and was rescued by a passing scholar... The thirty minutes ended.

To be honest, the production is very good, but the plot is too slow. Zhang Yang did not speak immediately after reading it, and then opened the script and storyboard screen to see it, mainly focusing on the script.

The little fox demon is a member of the fox tribe. The snake tribe is chasing her. The snake tribe colluded with the national master. The clan leader of the fox tribe also colluded with the national master to send the little fox demon into the palace as a concubine. Shusheng was named on the gold list, but because the little fox demon liked him, he was targeted by the fox tribe and was excluded and suppressed...

Zhang Yang hurriedly looked at it, rubbed his temples, and asked Xu Yashan: "Is this what you wrote?"

Xu Yashan hesitated for a moment before nodding, and said a little bitterly: "It's been changed more than twenty times before it passes."

"What was the story you wanted to shoot at the first time?"

"The love story of a man and a fox, the pure and plain..."

Xu Yashan hesitated for a moment and explained again: "I liked a girl when I was in college, but I was ugly and dared not confess... Later, the difference in appearance was extended to race..."

Lin Yiran lowered her head, as if she wanted to laugh, but she felt impolite, so she held back, Zhang Yang's mouth twitched, and understood her hard work very well. She coughed and said to Wei Xiang: "Sister Xiang, to be honest, do you really think that this animation is necessary to continue?"

Xu Yashan suddenly raised his head, glanced at Zhang Yang, and then lowered.

Wei Xiang smiled and said, "If we don't finish our efforts over the past year, it will be in vain."

Zhang Yang said: "What if I finish it? Isn't it in vain?"

Wei Xiang and the others were silent and did not speak. Xu Yashan seemed to want to refute, but his lips moved. I don’t know if it was because he thought so, or because of the pressure of money, he didn’t say anything.

Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "I am an outsider and have no say in many professional matters, but as an audience, it should be okay?"

"What do you think is the most important thing about animation, or the quality of an animation, is the most important thing? What is the standard for good or bad?"

"It is definitely good to have a beautiful picture, but as long as the picture is beautiful, is it good?"

"To be honest, I like the style, characters, and pictures just now, which is very beautiful. It can be said that it is much beyond my expectations... But if this animation is played, I should have said that the picture is pretty good, I like it very much, and I won't watch it."

"As an audience, I'm watching animations, not wallpapers... it shouldn't be a moving picture or animation, right?"

Xu Yashan finally couldn't help it and said with a little depressing anger: "I also know the plot is bad, but people just think that such a plot will have a highlight... If you don't do this, you will have no money. What can I do?"

Wei Xiang opened his mouth, as if he wanted to persuade him, but he was silent again. After Xu Yashan finished speaking, he said, "Sorry, Zhang Yang, Yashan is under too much pressure recently, and he doesn't tell anyone. He has accumulated too many negative emotions. This is his hard work and dream. If he has been changed to this, he feels more distressed than anyone else."

"The original plot wasn't that good."

Zhang Yang secretly complained, so he naturally wouldn't say it out loud. He smiled at Wei Xiang first, indicating that he was not angry, and then looked at Xu Yashan again.

Xu Yashan, who had been silent and even dared to look at him, held his head high and looked at Zhang Yang with a little stubbornness and arrogance. He was indeed not good-looking and looked a little haggard, but he was not sloppy. At this time, he gave people the feeling of standing in the soil.

"There is actually another way."

Zhang Yang smiled, "I have money if I change a project or a company."

Wei Xiang was slightly stunned, and Xu Yashan was also stunned, staring at him with his eyes open, as if he wanted to be sure whether he was playing tricks on him. Seeing that Zhang Yang always had a gentle smile, he sighed again: "The project is no longer mine."

"Then change one."

Xu Yashan and Wei Xiang were both silent.

Zhang Yang continued: "Even if you continue to stay here, you still have no say. If you take a picture like this, what can you take if you spend more effort? What will the audience evaluate after watching it?"

After a while, Xu Yashan raised his head again and looked at Zhang Yang: "If you pay, do we have the right to speak?"

"You can discuss whoever has reason to listen to whom."

Zhang Yang smiled brightly, "I at least don't command randomly, and I have a brain."

Wei Xiang and Lin Yiran couldn't help but smile on their faces, and Xu Yashan's mouth also moved, as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

Zhang Yang looked at him, then looked at Wei Xiang, then looked at Lin Yiran, and then made a tacit eye contact, he stood up one after another and said to Wei Xiang, "Sister Xiang, you think about it too. If you still want to borrow money, I will transfer it to you immediately."

Although Wei Xiang was reluctant to give up her hard work for more than a year, she did not have such a big obsession like Xu Yashan. She just wanted to make a good animation. It was obvious that she was a little moved by Zhang Yang's proposal, but she was still hesitant and it was not good to change the course directly at this time, so she nodded and prepared to send them away.

Xu Yashan also stood up, and his obviously blood-tight eyes stared at Zhang Yang and asked, "Don't you seem to be temporarily intent... Have you been planning to do animation long ago?"

Zhang Yang held Lin Yiran's hand, looked back at him, and smiled and said, "It's been prepared long ago, but the company has not been registered yet. If you agree, I'll let someone do it right away."

Xu Yashan was stunned again and asked, "What are you going to take?"

Zhang Yang said: "Let's talk when you make a decision."

Xu Yashan seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say it. Zhang Yang smiled and left with Lin Yiran. Wei Xiang sent it out and explained softly: "If he cares a little, he will be confused. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xiang, I'll wait for your good news."

Wei Xiang smiled and nodded, without a positive answer, but did not mention borrowing money again.

"You've decided to see him for the first time?" Lin Yiran asked when she returned to the car.

"The animation is really well done, and I can tell that I love it very much. I'll give you a chance to try it."

Zhang Yang explained while starting the car, "Anyway, I have the direction I can grasp, so I won't make any major mistakes."

Lin Yiran nodded. Although she is the only two member of the company's board of directors, she rarely manages these things. Most of the time she plays the role of a boss lady, "Do you want to register another company?"

"Just just entrusted to the company's name, which is so easy to deal with, and there is no need to worry about uneven division of the spoils in the future."

"You're really considerate!"

Lin Yiran rolled his eyes and asked again: "What's that called?"

"You think about it, I can't think of it."
