Chapter 1046: The team is good, the director is rare
"What? Make a 3D animated movie?"
When he received a call from Li Fanyu, Ma Rao, who was in the United States, had just gotten up. Recently, he was preparing for the shooting mission of "Hurricane Rescue 2". However, Liam Neeson, who was popular because of "Hurricane Rescue", has a second career spring in his career, and the filming date has not yet been determined.
When he heard Li Fanyu say he wanted to shoot an anime movie, this Chinese director who had already created a style in Hollywood was a little confused.
"This challenge is really big," Ma Rao said the truth.
He knows anime movies. In fact, as the leading director in China, he has been exposed to 3D special effects production on some large scenes many times. However, as a traditional director, he still feels a little uneasy when he thinks that he does not face actors, has no camera position, and only directs the computer.
"If it doesn't work, I won't go there this time. Do you ask Soi to look for another director?"
Li Fanyu was very relaxed, "Don't worry, Director Ma, it's actually the same. Think about it, if there are no actors, you only face the 3D model for film production, wouldn't your freedom be greater? The picture can be cut, and the characters can be fiddled with. I feel happy for you if I think about it."
Ma Raohe is not an outsider, so of course it is impossible for Li Fanyu to have such a good mentality and think so simply.
"What you said is easy! The frame and painting of 3D movies are all manpower and money. Without the experience of making this type of movie. If you don't say how much more you spend, can the effect of the choreography be good? Don't be nonsense, I won't take this job, please ask you for your cleverness. At most, I will supervise you. I have experience in filming dramas and can grasp the rhythm, but I really don't dare to do the specific guidance work. This is not that my brother doesn't give you a face, it's for you to know whether you know?"
Ma Rao refused very simply.
Li Fanyu had to hang up the phone in depression. It’s not that he doesn’t want to find a professional, but he really doesn’t have any professional talents in this area at hand now.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone and called Zhou Qingyu.
Zhou Qingyu is also abroad, and when she received a call from Li Fanyu, she seemed to be still sleeping: "Hey? Why are you calling here so early?"
When Li Fanyu was depressed and said that he wanted to shoot a 3D animation movie, Zhou Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled.
"You, why can you do this so much? If you can't see you for a few days, you will definitely have to make some trouble. But Director Ma can't do this job, what's the use of you looking for me? You are an animated movie, I can't direct this, and I can't act it."
"Isn't this a way to make you think of a solution?" Li Fanyu was frustrated. Things were deviant from the plan. He was really a Japanese dog.
"Well," Zhou Qingyu, who was on the other side of the phone, responded softly. Then there was a rumbling sound of getting up and pulling the curtains.
"Let's do this, I'm studying at a Paris Academy of Fine Arts. Not far away is a film school. There are many classmates in the class who are engaged in art film production. I'll ask you later to see if they have any resources."
"Okay, I'll ask Soi to find a team in this area. You can help ask there, money is definitely not a problem." Li Fanyu emphasized.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Qingyu hung up the phone.
Li Fanyu immediately called Donner Williams, the head of Soi Film and Television Company, and conveyed his intention to prepare for a 3D anime movie, asking him to find a production team and director.
After receiving instructions there, they immediately went to raise funds. Li Fanyu was involved in the i8 matter again.
In his spare time in research and development, he was not idle either. He checked out domestic talents in this area online.
But what disappointed him was that domestic producers were basically the kind of players who were similar to Xilanglang and Hui Taiyang, Xionghe, or Pig Lamb Hero, who consumed young fans.
There are not many climate-forming ones.
When searching for domestic animation movies, most of them are rough production and empty plots. The only thing that is more eye-catching are two science fiction short films that are more popular on B.com.
These two short films were released by an up-host named qaq. It is said that they are made by this person and the production looks a bit simple, but the plot and pictures show their imagination and very high plot choreography skills.
At that time, Li Fanyu contacted him through multiple contacts but did not receive a response from the up owner.
Soi is under the Zhengxin American branch. That guy Mason is a typical American leader and everyone pursues high efficiency.
In less than two days, Soi sent a reply.
The person who called to report was still Donald Williams: "Oh, boss, the production team of animated films is not a problem. As long as you have money, it is not difficult to get all together. But the animation director... is not easy to deal with."
"What?" Li Fanyu hurriedly asked after hearing the answer from the other side.
"3D anime has been very popular in recent years. Directors who have made good works are popular among various companies. Moreover, in 3D animated films, big companies like Pixar, Disney, and Universal are the places where directors realize their ambitions. So directors with a little reputation sign long-term contracts with the company. Not to mention those who are particularly famous, the few are the personal directors of the above three companies, and they are not a problem that money can be dug up. In short, it is rare for the team to get a director. That's the situation."
Upon hearing this news, Li Fanyu felt like he was being dumbfounded.
tmd!
Is there any problem that money cannot solve?
"Just say, how much does it cost to poach a good director for me." He directly turned into a domineering president and said.
"Well, if you have to spend money... maybe $50 million plus box office share?"
"That's OK!" Li Fanyu waved his hand, "This is how I will do it first, and I'll think of a solution."
Fifty million?
Dollar?
A director?
mmmp!
Have you known what kind of car to do? Damn it to learn how to direct it!
This is too valuable!
After putting down the phone, Li Fanyu was still shocked by the numbers that Donner said; he vaguely remembered that the production cost of "Super Marines" in the previous time and space was only 130 million yuan.
50 million US dollars, plus box office share, wouldn’t that take up half of the production cost of the film? He can afford this money, but the investment and output are not proportional to the price, so the transaction is not cost-effective.
He was depressed all night, and when he was about to go to bed, he received a call from Zhou Qingyu.
"I have inquired from many sources in the past two days, and finally you found a few people. These people are not very experienced, but their abilities seem to be good."
When he heard that his qualifications were not very deep, Li Fanyu lost interest in an instant.
Zhou Qingyu, who was there, heard that he didn't speak, and smiled and said, "No matter what, my task has been completed. I care that these people are going to come to their previous works, and they have already sent them to your email address. If you are interested, take a look."
After hanging up Zhou Qingyu's phone call, Li Fanyu opened the computer boredly and logged in to the email address. He downloaded the super large attachments in the latest email.
When he saw the second one, he was shocked.
Nest,
Isn’t this a qaq work?
He immediately picked up the phone and called Zhou Qingyu, "Qingyu, what's the second work you sent you, is that person in your school?"
Zhou Qingyu on the other side of the phone smiled sweetly, "Ah, are you talking about Qiao Ai?"
Li Fanyu quickly flipped through the email, saw the name on the attachment that read "Qiao Ai's Works" and immediately said: "That's right! It's Qiao Ai!"
"Haha, I knew you would definitely be interested in that child."
"Ga?" Li Fanyu was confused, "Child?"
"Yes. Child. The youngest student in this class of the Academy of Fine Arts. He is only nineteen years old this year."
"Forehead……"
Li Fanyu was confused - Xiao Ye... have you met a child prodigy?
