This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 945 The car door is welded shut immediately (asking for monthly tickets)

What should you do if your boss scolds you?
Resign!

That's impossible, especially when the boss has just made a big promise.

At this time, Tian Xiaopeng was willing to be Hao Yun's slave.

Shi Xiaoqiang was also very surprised to hear the news of cooperation with Disney, but his insights were higher than Tian Xiaopeng.

Since Tian Xiaopeng said that the quality of the animation script is very high, and some storyboards can be seen through some scanned copies, Shi Xiaoqiang will no longer have any doubts about Hao Yun's so-called cooperation.

Hao Yun said Disney will cooperate, so they will definitely cooperate.

As for how many people to recruit, Shi Xiaoqiang and Tian Xiaopeng discussed it and decided to follow the standards of the animation studio in Japan.

Anyway, Heidou Media has also invested in several of Hao Yun’s recent hit movies, so the dog factory is not short of money at all now.

If there are particularly outstanding people, there is no need to worry about quota restrictions.

As for how to select particularly outstanding people, that is Tian Xiaopeng's job.

Fortunately, Tian Xiaopeng attended the 6th China Animation Golden Dragon Awards Ceremony last month.

The Cartoon and Animation Golden Dragon Award (CACC) is the main event of the International Comics Festival. It is co-organized by the General Administration and Guangdong Province and is one of the most influential animation awards in China.

It has been hailed by the media as "China's No. 1 Animation Award", the "Oscar" of the Chinese animation industry, and the "barometer of Chinese animation".

Anyway, it’s awesome.

Tian Xiaopeng is not only a well-known animator in the circle, he is also the head of the animation studio of Heidou Media, the top brand in the domestic entertainment industry.

Therefore, the comic festival attached great importance to him and gave him enough face.

Let him serve as a judge for the Golden Dragon Awards.

There are many award ceremonies like this for animation awards. This month there is the 2nd Xiamen Golden Dolphin Award, next month there is the Sichuan TV Festival Golden Panda Award, and in December there is the Beijing Film Academy Animation Academy Award...

Tian Xiaopeng only needs to focus on these award ceremonies, where he can not only find people but also see the works directly.

For example, at last month’s Golden Dragon Awards, he met several great young people.

Tian Xiaopeng doesn't have that many skills to manage a team.

If he had the ability, his October Digital Studio would not be on the verge of bankruptcy and looking for a new buyer.

So, he just called directly.

"Yang Yu, I'm Tian Xiaopeng!"

This Yangyu was an animator that he really admired, and he cast his vote for him, but unfortunately he still didn't win the award.

"Who are you? My name is Yang Yu, not Yang Yu. What's going on?"

There was a lot of confusion over there, and it didn't seem like they were pretending at all. They were wondering how this person got their cell phone number and what he wanted to do with them.

It can't be a scam.

If there is any hot social news these days, it is probably that a Ms. Zhang received a call saying that she owed more than 2000 yuan in bills, and then was informed that her personal information might have been stolen, and was given a "police phone number" for consultation. Step by step, a series of traps were set up to defraud Ms. Chen of more than 1000 million yuan.

Oh shit, more than 10 million.

For ordinary people, this is more serious than life.

Many people were nervous when answering the phone, fearing that they would be cheated out of the thirty-three dollars in their pockets.

"We met at the Golden Dragon Awards last month. I was a judge. You entered your short film, "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" in the competition. I remember it was nominated for the Best Animated Short Film Award. Is that true?"

Tian Xiaopeng explained patiently and did not get angry about this.

He has a good temper, so even if the studio is not doing well, there are still many people willing to follow him.

He finally thought about selling October Digital Studio to Black Bean Media in order to make up for the wages he owed everyone.

"Wait a minute, let me check... Tian Xiaopeng, October Digital Studio, right? Hey, why is your studio under the name of Black Bean Media?"

Yang Yu looked through some business cards and found Tian Xiaopeng's.

His "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" was very outstanding, and since he was not yet 30 years old, many people looked up to him. After each event, he had dozens of business cards in his pocket.

But Yang Yu didn't take it too seriously.

He felt that his work should speak for itself, so after receiving the business cards he just threw them away and had no intention of making those calls.

"Yes, my studio was acquired by Heidou Media." Tian Xiaopeng said.

"Wow, how much did it sell for?"

Obviously, Yang Yu was more interested in gossip, and by the way, he thought that if his studio was acquired by Heidou Media, wouldn't he become rich like Tian Xiaopeng?

"It was two million at the time, but I didn't ask for the money. It was converted into virtual stocks of Black Bean Media. It should be worth three or four million now. This money is not mine alone. Everyone in our studio shared it."

Tian Xiaopeng did not hide it. After all, the matter of virtual stocks was no secret in the industry.

Heidou Media does not plan to go public and is implementing a stock ownership plan for all employees.

Although it is virtual stock, many people have realized that they can work for themselves. The motivation is indeed different.

Even Huayi, which has been confirmed to be launched on October 2009, 10, has been overshadowed.

Even the brainless stock investors know that Aunt Hua has no future.

The first entertainment stock must be Heidou Media.

Even now I haven't heard any news about their IPO.

"Wow, it's growing so fast. What do you want to talk to me about? Is there any work?" Yang Yu was so envious that his stomach hurt.

"Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" is an animated comedy short film, which he created from 04 to last year, a total of 3 years and 8 months.

During these three years and eight months, the family’s only income was my mother’s monthly pension of 3 yuan.

Although "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" was a success, it didn't change his life much.

If you want to win a prize you have to spend money, and the prize money may not be enough to cover the losses.

So he received many nominations but won few awards.

Tudou.com only paid a few hundred thousand yuan for the rights to broadcast the short film, which at most alleviated the family's financial pressure.

"There is work, big work! Are you willing to come to Black Bean Media?" Tian Xiaopeng understood Yang Yu and said, "Actually, I have endless work to do here, such as making animated versions of movies such as Those Years, Little Forest, and Your Name."

"It's meaningless to just copy others." Yang Yu said with some disgust.

These films themselves are already very successful, and it is not difficult to adapt them into movies. As long as the skills are good enough and there are enough people, even if you give it to a dog to lead the team, it can make it.

"Actually, I've thought about it like you, but considering survival and training, you have to admit that these are all high-quality projects," Tian Xiaopeng had no intention of arguing with Yang Yu, and asked directly, "There is another new project that we plan to cooperate with Disney. Are you interested in joining?"

"Ahem, cough...what?"

Sure enough, no matter how arrogant a person is, he will lose his temper when he hears about the opportunity to cooperate with Disney.

Tian Xiaopeng briefly explained the situation and said that Yang Yu was the first person he invited, and it would only take a word to decide whether to join or not. He had a lot of people to look for this time, and those who joined late might miss the best opportunity.

Get in the car quickly and weld the door shut immediately.

"If, I mean if, in the future I..." Yang Yu was very excited, but also conflicted.

"If you have the ability in the future, it would be no problem to open a separate project for you, or even a separate potato studio for you."

Tian Xiaopeng knew what he wanted to say. Among his peers, he could be said to understand Yang Yu better than Yang Yu's mother.

"Call me Dumpling, not Potato. Black Bean Media, right? Send me the address. I'll go there tomorrow. No, I'll buy the ticket tonight!"

Tian Xiaopeng doesn't hold any job fairs.

The circle itself is not big, and it is easy to find out who is really capable and who is just cheating.

His recruitment was just a matter of making phone calls one by one.

Among his target groups, the name of Black Bean Media is enough for most people, and for the remaining few, even if he brings out the blockbuster news of cooperation with Disney, few people can withstand it.

One of them said he was in the late stage of cancer and might only live for a few months.

Ask Tian Xiaopeng if he wants it.

Tian Xiaopeng could only sadly let him rest well.

In just half a day, he had gathered the manpower he thought was enough, and the October Digital Studio was completely renewed.

Hao Yun followed the crew back to Los Angeles, and after acting for half a day, he also started recruiting.

He's casting for Manchester by the Sea.

Simple roles will be handled by the assistant director and casting director, and only a few important roles will require the involvement of him as the director and producer.

This film was mainly invested by FC Films and Paramount.

Michael Bay and Hao Yun are both producers, and this time Hao Yun has more independent production rights than "Source Code".

The two people he most urgently needs to audition, besides the actor who plays his nephew, are the actress who plays his wife in the film.

In order to gain good reputation and box office in the European and American markets.

Hao Yun and his elder brother (Feng Yuanzheng) are both Chinese who settled in Manchester and married local foreign girls.

Or it can also be understood that they are of mixed Chinese descent.

Anyway, the Oscars can think whatever they feel comfortable with, and just give out the awards that are due.

Hao Yun doesn't expect this movie to win him an Oscar for Best Actor.

That's simply not realistic. Just look at Leonardo DiCaprio and you'll know how hard it is to win an Oscar for Best Actor.

All he needs is a Best Actor nomination for Manchester by the Sea.

Then, he can definitely take "Manchester by the Sea" to the European Film Festival to win the real title of Best Actor.
