What Li Yi didn't know was that Xingman seemed to be on the verge of bankruptcy now.
But there are not a few people who want to take over Xingman.
Because although "Ocean of Childlike Innocence" failed, Xingman's mature production technology was still displayed.
There are not many such mature teams in China, not to mention a team with experience in producing 3D animated movies.
Even if "Ocean of Childlike Innocence" failed, its flaws could not be concealed. The failure was not because of technology, but because of the story!
But if you want to win over Xingman Studio, you can't get around Zhang Haiyang.
He is not only the largest shareholder of Xingman, but also the soul of the entire team.
But Zhang Haiyang made a very strange request.
Probably because of the failure of "Childlike Ocean", Zhang Haiyang didn't want to make the same mistake again, so he made a strange request.
If he wants to acquire Xingman, the price is easy to negotiate, but he must come up with a project that satisfies him.
Several companies tried it, but unfortunately, none of them satisfied Zhang Haiyang.
"Zhang Haiyang doesn't have any excessive requirements for the selling price of Xingman, but he only wants a project that satisfies him. Because there is no standard, several companies have already failed." Lou Jianjun Briefed Li Yi on the situation.
"He doesn't have any specific requirements? Do you just want to satisfy him?" Li Yi asked.
"Not bad! Sorry to disappoint Director Li." Lou Jianjun sighed.
His first acquisition after joining the company actually encountered this situation, which really made Lou Jianjun a little disappointed.
"Let's go and meet Zhang Haiyang." Li Yi said with a smile.
Although Li Yi didn't know what kind of project the other party wanted, Li Yi had great confidence in the "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year" he had on hand.
To put it bluntly, if you still dislike this kind of animation, then it’s okay not to acquire it from such a company.
Anyway, Li Yi doesn’t only have Xingman as a choice!
Soon, Li Yi and Lou Jianjun came to Xingman Animation Studio.
Li Yi didn't expect that Zhang Haiyang would recognize him immediately.
"Dog...ah, Director Li, I didn't expect that you are also interested in Xingman. Come on!" Zhang Haiyang said with enthusiasm.
It's just that Li Yi's face is a bit dark, what a godly dog, you're the uncle of the dog.
"Sorry, Director Li, I said it smoothly, but what, actually, I am also a fan of your movies, especially that movie "The Last Transfer of Tang Dynasty Mobei", a lonely city thousands of miles away, full of white-haired soldiers..." Zhang After Haiyang apologized, he said a lot of praise for "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei".
However, Li Yi could feel that Zhang Haiyang was indeed sincere in his praise.
"I just didn't expect Director Li to be interested in animation? Could it be that Director Li's next work will be an animation work?" Zhang Haiyang couldn't help but ask with his eyes shining.
Li Yi was a little helpless, and Lou Jianjun on the side was also dumbfounded. It could be said that he had never expected that Zhang Haiyang would be indifferent when facing people from the animation company, but when he saw Li Yi But he looked like a fanboy.
They are completely different!
"I have some ideas, but I don't know what kind of project Mr. Zhang would like to be satisfied with?" Li Yi asked doubtfully.
Zhang Haiyang said with a wry smile: "Many people are probably scolding me for being ignorant, but the failure of "Ocean of Childhood" was a huge blow to our entire team. We don't want to experience such a failure again, and we also found The biggest reason for the failure of "Ocean of Childhood" is that this movie did not have a really good story!"
Who is Gu?
"I wonder if Director Li has watched "Childlike Ocean"?" Zhang Haiyang asked.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "No!"
"Actually, the biggest problem lies in our positioning of the film. Our company has been making animations for children before, but I have always felt that cartoons and animated movies should not be just for children. Therefore, we have been trying to make some changes, but unfortunately we have not been particularly successful. This is the case with "Ocean of Children's Heart" because we not only want to make children's animation, but also hope to make a film that adults can watch. The animated films that went into the film turned out to be different."
"I have a script here, Mr. Zhang can take a look!" Li Yi didn't want to talk too much about this topic with Zhang Haiyang, it wasn't important at all.
For Li Yi, he actually doesn't know much about animation.
He just wanted to find a team to make the anime "Those Things That Rabbit That Year".
Zhang Haiyang was actually quite disappointed. He especially wanted to have a good chat with Li Yi, because Li Yi made movies and was very successful.
Although there are big differences between animation and live-action film and television works, many things lead to the same goal through different paths. Unfortunately, Li Yi does not seem to be interested in discussing it in detail with him.
Zhang Haiyang couldn't help but laugh at himself, also, who is Li Yi? He is a billionaire director, and every movie he makes has higher box office than the last one.
Maybe they are just playing for fun, otherwise, why bother showing a big movie instead of filming, and suddenly want to make an anime?
The script Li Yi gave to Zhang Haiyang didn't contain much content, only the first few episodes, followed by a rough outline.
Zhang Haiyang actually didn't have high expectations either. After all, if Li Yi was just playing for fun, he wouldn't be willing to play with him.
Li Yi can fail. After all, it is nothing to Li Yi, but Zhang Haiyang cannot afford it.
When Zhang Haiyang saw the name of this script, he immediately frowned.
"Those Things About That Rabbit That Year"?
What a bad name.
This name, no matter how you look at it, looks like a meaningless anime for children.
Zhang Haiyang became more and more certain that Li Yi was just playing for fun.
But after all, Li Yi's status was there, and he came to the door in person.
He patiently turned to the first page.
The first page is a simple sketch drawn by Li Yi.
There is a rabbit on it, but this rabbit is wearing a hat, and there is a red five-pointed star on the hat!
As he continued to read, Zhang Haiyang's brows suddenly widened.
This sight actually made him fascinated, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Until the end, he was still a little unfinished.
Looking up, Zhang Haiyang looked a little excited and said: "Li, Director Li, can this project be handed over to our team?"
"It's natural. The reason why I want to acquire the animation studio is to find a mature team to produce this animation. So, if you agree to the acquisition, then naturally this project will be handed over to you!" Li Yi said calmly. typical.
"Thank you, Director Li. Thank you, Director Li. It is an honor for me and my team to produce such an animation! Director Li, we can sign at any time. I can't wait to produce this animation." Zhang Haiyang He said with excitement.
Lou Jianjun on the side was confused, what is this?
Why does he have the feeling that Li Yi is the male protagonist in it, the kind who is born with the aura of a bastard? Zhang Haiyang looks arrogant and indifferent to others, but how come he gets to Li Yi and worships him if he wants to? the meaning of?
