Chapter 817 Are all the colleagues in the company so gossipy?
Hearing the word "movie", Yang Hongxia's gloomy eyes suddenly brightened up: "Has the script for the animated film been drawn? So can the comics be online?"
Yang Hongxia had been coveting this comic for a long time, but Lin Fan was not in a hurry at all and drew it slowly. Whenever Yang Hongxia urged him a little, Lin Fan would show non-violent non-cooperation as if to say "Oh, I have no inspiration! Take a break!", leaving Yang Hongxia helpless.
I could only grit my teeth and bear it, letting Lin Fan draw slowly.
Yang Hongxia was already prepared to not see any new comics online this year, but Lin Fan actually gave her a surprise! And it was such a big surprise: the plot of the animated film was completed!
It's not even October yet, and there are still several months left until the Lunar New Year. If we start preparing for the animated film now, is it possible that we can make the film before the end of next year? Yang Hongxia's eyes glowed with an amazing money-like light.
Lin Fan was almost blinded by the light: "The plot of the animated film is complete, but the comics are only partially completed. But it doesn't matter, it was originally planned to be serialized, so I will release a part of it online first, and then update it slowly later."
Lin Fan counted his saved manuscripts in his mind and felt that these manuscripts were enough to support him and spend a wonderful holiday.
This way, Yang Hongxia would have something to do, and she wouldn't always disturb him on vacation. It was the best of both worlds! Yang Hongxia had a movie project to prepare, so she turned a blind eye to Lin Fan's little plan: "Okay, you can arrange the comics, I'll get the animation film team together first."
Yang Hongxia walked out of Lin Fan's studio and came to the public area. Before she could say anything, she saw her friends standing up from their seats, holding their notebooks, and walking towards the meeting room on their own accord.
There was even a department head who was there directing everyone: "Everyone, put aside the unimportant things you are doing. Sister Xia is going to have a meeting! Friends who are not here, please notify each other. If you really can't make it back, please ask for leave from the work group!"
So, some friends saved their documents, some called to inform others, and some ran to the bathroom with their stomachs held, trying to solve their personal problems before the meeting.
Yang Hongxia: ...Why are you all so self-conscious? Friends: Haha, just get used to it!
So, ten minutes later, in the conference room.
Yang Hongxia looked at all the friends in the room and coughed dryly: "Well, has everyone finished their annual leave?"
Everyone felt their anus tighten and the pressure on their shoulders increased dramatically.
Before, when Yang Hongxia asked the colleagues in the studio to take turns to take annual leave and then held an impromptu meeting to give everyone more work, she never said such words.
Now that everyone has finally finished their miserable annual leave and everyone is back to work, Yang Hongxia is concerned about everyone's annual leave. Could it be that this job is particularly urgent and the workload is super heavy, and it can't be done even with a full staff, so Yang Hongxia said this to give everyone a heads-up?
The friends looked at each other in bewilderment, and the head of the publicity department could only bite the bullet and continue: "Boss Yang, everyone's annual leave is over. Is there any urgent work this time?"
Please give me a definite answer quickly. It's better to die early and be reborn sooner rather than later. It's better to die quickly! Yang Hongxia knew that her reputation would be ruined, so she didn't waste any more time. "I'm calling you to a meeting today for one thing: to set up a working group for the animation film "Havoc in Heaven" to be responsible for the early preparation, planning, and publicity of this film..."
A new movie! And it’s an animated movie I’ve never seen before!
The friends immediately stood up straight, pricked up their ears, and took every word Yang Hongxia said into account.
You know, an animated film is a big project, especially for Earthman Studios. The investment in an animated film is more than the previous three films combined! Although the box office of the previous three films was very good, they were all small-budget investments. However, if an animated film wants to be effective, the investment cannot be too small.
And because of the different types, the difference in production costs is even greater.
The head of the publicity department raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Yang, is our movie 2D or 3D?"
Although the current film technology is said to have entered the 4D, or even 5D, 6D era, it is well known that this only refers to the "viewing effect" and the real filming technology is still 3D.
It doesn't mean that 3D animated films are necessarily better than 2D ones. When it comes to animated films, filming technology is only one aspect. The script, subject matter, funding, etc. all affect the final effect of the film to a certain extent.
There are too many cases in the market where many so-called big-budget 3D animated films are crushed by 2D animated films at the box office.
It is totally undesirable to evaluate the quality of an animated film based solely on its filming technology.
Yang Hongxia replied: "3D."
The head of the publicity department was not surprised: "So, how much money does the company plan to invest now?"
Yang Hongxia flipped through Lin Fan's manuscript, then looked up and smiled: "Starting at 100 million, there is no upper limit."
…
"Hiss!" Lin Fan grabbed Xia Yan's hand and stopped her from pinching the soft flesh on his waist. "Why are you pinching me for no reason?"
Xia Yan blinked her innocent eyes: "Does it hurt?"
Lin Fan was so angry that he pinched her with his backhand: "Tell me if it hurts!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Hiss! It hurts!" Xia Yan couldn't dodge in time and was pinched by Lin Fan. Tears welled up in her eyes in pain. "It hurts so much! It seems that I am not dreaming. You are actually planning to invest 100 million to shoot this animated film!"
Lin Fan had a blank expression on his face: Has the news spread so quickly? Sister Xia had just left here, and Xia Yan came to talk about this, which shows that this matter has spread thoroughly.
Moreover, there is more than just Xia Yan.
"Bang!" The office door was pushed open forcefully from the outside and hit the wall, making a loud noise.
At the same time, Liang Wen's loud voice came over: "Director Lin, I heard that you are going to invest 100 million to make an animated film?!"
Lin Fan: …
"Hey, you heard about it too?" Zhou Yue followed Liang Wen and walked into Lin Fan's office one after the other.
"Has Teacher Zhou heard about it too?" Liang Wen said, "The news has reached you, so this matter is inevitable."
Zhou Yue also asked Lin Fan: "Why did you think of making an animated film? And it's such a big investment. Well, I remember that the investment of the first three films combined didn't seem to exceed 100 million, right?"
Liang Wen said: "Mr. Zhou, you think too much. The three movies together cost less than 50 million, how can there be 100 million!"
So, when we heard that Lin Fan was going to spend 100 million to make a movie, everyone was so excited... No, we were curious! We were curious about why Lin Fan had changed his personality and stopped making low-budget movies and started making big productions with investments of over 100 million? Lin Fan: ...Are all the guys in the company so gossipy?
