Su Wu drank two pots of tea and painted an irresistible picture of the future for the two brothers.
Peter Ma, his dejection completely gone, slammed his fist on the table and said, "It's just a small company. I have no problem acquiring them."
"Let's do it! Our game studio isn't going to be a pushover anymore. We have over 20 technical staff. If we can't create something ourselves, we can always learn from others!" Li Zhi excitedly pumped his fist.
"Then it's settled. Everyone, split up and get to work. If everything goes smoothly, our movie can be released next year." Su Wu was also quite excited.
The three of them encouraged each other like they were on steroids, and all that was missing was opening another bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor).
After a while of commotion, perhaps as the last vestiges of alcohol wore off, Peter looked at Su Wu with a somewhat dazed expression.
"Xiao Wu, after all this talk, what are we filming? Do we have a script?"
"No. But I have an idea."
Upon hearing this, Su Wu couldn't help but slap his forehead in frustration.
He was so focused on manipulating the two of them that he forgot about the important matter.
Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, he cleared his throat.
"My plan is for us to make an animated movie about a martial arts panda. This thing is definitely worth the effort."
After he finished speaking, the two of them were stunned.
They completely misunderstood Su Wu's meaning.
Su Wu scratched his head and began to patiently explain.
"You know pandas, right? They're a national treasure, loved by countless people not only domestically but also internationally. If they were made into animated characters, they'd definitely be a hit..."
"Furthermore, there's our martial arts, specifically Chinese Kung Fu, which is an element that leaves a deep impression of our nation internationally. We can incorporate even more Chinese elements into it; it would be absolutely spectacular..."
"If the animated movie 'Martial Arts Panda' is done well, it will definitely become a classic animated series, and it will be a huge hit both domestically and internationally!"
Su Wu spoke eloquently, leaving the two men completely bewildered.
Peter exclaimed in horror, "You still plan to go international?"
"Nonsense, you have to go abroad to make money. How much can you make in China?" Su Wu said with a look of disdain.
Li Zhi couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea, saying, "Third brother, are you out of your mind? This isn't even a chance yet, and you're already thinking about going international?"
He had barely finished speaking when he received the middle finger from both Su Wu and Peter Ma.
Peter Ma now understands what Su Wu meant.
Regardless of the idea itself, Su Wu's planning ability and strategic vision shocked him.
This is a waste of every single resource.
He had just signed a contract with Ivy Films, and Su Wu had already thought of places to collaborate.
The two immediately ignored Li Zhi and began to talk.
Peter Ma pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Wu, how do you think we should cooperate with Ivy Films?"
“Of course it’s a joint release; that gives us an advantage when it’s shown overseas,” Su Wu said matter-of-factly.
“Yes, that’s what I was thinking too; it’s in our best interest. So, how do we work on the script?” Peter asked again.
"With your connections, Brother Ma, can't you find a few good screenwriters? They can design it according to our ideas. The story just needs to be simple and easy to understand, and the plot should be humorous and witty."
Su Wu felt that the Chinese people's storytelling ability was more than enough to handle the task, and it would be a complete blow to foreigners.
However, this enormous potential has not yet been developed.
Peter nodded emphatically and clapped his hands, saying, "Okay, then I'll go to Dongguang tomorrow to see what's going on with that company. We'll discuss it in detail once we have the results."
After a whole night of negotiating, the matter was finally settled.
Su Wu was also very happy, finally he hadn't let Ma Peter down.
Sometimes giving someone a business opportunity is more meaningful than giving them money.
Peter Ma was restricted, but Li Zhi, a member of the Li family with impeccable political credentials, was not.
In less than a week, Dongguang Original was acquired by Nanda Games.
Of course, this wouldn't have been possible without Peter Ma's financial support.
The new company was officially named Jinwumen Game & Animation Media Co., Ltd.
All the procedures were completed within a week, which fully demonstrated the Li family's efficiency.
Immediately afterwards, the professional technicians that Su Wu had contacted from abroad also arrived.
However, they faced new problems.
Since the goal is to create 3D animation, a motion capture system is required.
In other words, they need to purchase this type of equipment, and it must be the best.
In addition to specialized equipment, motion capture systems also require a powerful analysis system.
Such systems are closely guarded secrets of major studios, and cannot be purchased even if one wanted to.
After all, we are not yet at a time when technology is highly advanced or even rampant, perhaps a decade or two from now.
Optical motion capture systems haven't been developed yet.
The emerging technologies are IMU (Induction Mutual Actuation) and electromagnetic sensing, which are good at capturing motion, but not so good at capturing facial expressions.
This does not quite meet Su Wu's requirements.
If you're going to do something, you should do it to the best of your ability.
Instead of spending a lot of money to buy a bunch of foreign equipment and having to write your own programs, it's better to do your own research and development.
Does he lack technical skills?
He has no shortage of things.
LED technology has been proposed for a long time, but it has never been taken seriously.
The current technology tree has only climbed to the LCD screen stage, so Su Wu wouldn't mind pushing LED technology a step further.
Conference Room at Jinwumen.
The large conference room was filled with people, all of whom were the company's elites.
Su Wu was seated in the first position, with Peter Ma and Li Zhi on either side, which puzzled the employees.
