I'm almost a Muggle

By asking this question, I actually got some information.

It turns out that just as people who fish have a group of fishing friends, and people who climb mountains have a group of mountain climbers, those who make animated films actually have a similar circle.

Niu Jian said that there is also a director in their circle who makes animated films for adults.

That movie is called "The Guardian".

It is said that the film emphasizes something called "aesthetics of violence" and it is best for children to stay away.

"I really want to thank Mr. Lin this time. Those of us who make animations basically rely on our emotions, but we can't blame other film companies. They haven't released a decent animated film in several years, and the box office is too low.

People will lose money if they come in." Niu Jian is a very open-minded person, or his ideas are very strange. After all, he is a genius who wants to make a movie by himself.

"Uh...you're welcome."

Lin Dong really wants to say, "The Monkey Is Back" will make a lot of money, right?

There is also White Snake, which also has a box office of several hundred million.

But he quickly came to his senses, whether it was a monkey or a white snake, that was not what was happening now.

He has the ability to settle in advance, so he has an insight into the future.

Only after The Monkey Comes Back is released will the animated movie become a box office hit and capital will pour in.

Even if the monkey explodes.

White Snake didn’t lose money either.

In fact, animated films still suffer more losses than profits. It can be seen from the few animated films he invested in that most of them ended up being a complete loss.

There are only two or three animated films that really make money.

It took several years to make this thing, and then it was released at a huge loss. No wonder there are only a few animated movies every year.

For a normal movie, the shooting cycle is only three to five months, and it can be safely announced and released in about a year to collect money.

Even if you lose money, the time cost is not as high as the cost of animation.

"If you, Mr. Lin, are interested in "Guardian", I can help you introduce it. I can also contact you with other animation directors. But I want to say something ugly up front. It is really difficult to make money with animated movies."

What an honest child.

Lin Dong nodded: "Please help me contact him and ask him to come over. If you don't mind the poor creative environment here, I will arrange an office for you."

Simple?

Although I know that Lin is always being humble, these words are really sad and infuriating.

With an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, there are mountains, water, and woods, and three beautiful buildings are hidden among the lush greenery. How dare you say that this place is simple.

You have never seen anything truly crude.

The place Niu Jian rents is pretty good. It has at least a 1.2-meter bed, a toilet, and a place where you can brush your teeth and wash your hands.

The place where some guys live is not only a basement, but also only has an area of ​​​​a bed.

You eat and sleep on the bed, and you can only go to the public toilet to go to the toilet. If it is too cold in winter, you can get a urine bucket and stuff it under the bed, and take it out during the day.

How can the taste be described as sour and refreshing?

But let’s just say whatever the boss says.

You said this is a slum, and we agree. Please take me in.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, I will move here tonight!"

"I'll let the people in the administrative department make arrangements for you. You need to worry more about the big guard."

Lin Dong can't wait to meet another legendary animation director right away - making cartoons without allowing children to watch them is already legendary enough.

This is as legendary as selling bras and not allowing girls to buy them.

"It's simple. I'll ask him to come here now. By the way, can he move here?" Niu Jian is really a god and doesn't think there is anything wrong with his request at all.

"Yes, there are quite a few empty offices."

Lin Dong was so happy that he called an administrative girl and asked her to take Niu Jian to choose a room. In order to express his love for beef tendons, he accompanied him throughout the process and would definitely serve him until the other party was satisfied.

Kleist's office building has six floors, each floor has nearly 1,500 square meters.

The total number of people in the company is less than 200, and even if a few affiliated studios are included, it will definitely not exceed 500 people.

As a result, many work areas remain unused.

Niu Jian quickly selected a small office on the third floor, with a lush tree crown outside the window. The sunlight filtered in through the gaps in the tree crown, leaving mottled shadows.

For a painter, this place is simply paradise.

Then Lin Dong also took him to get a one-bedroom dormitory - in fact, there are not many dormitories left, so it is currently only available to people from Crest's headquarters, and those who are affiliated with it are renting houses in nearby communities.

The price of renting a house in this area is much cheaper than in the CBD business district.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lin. I think you are capable and responsible. In fact, you can consider setting up an animation company to integrate the current animation market."

Niu Jian started talking nonsense again.

Maybe in his feeling, Lin Dong is the kind of person who will be admired by everyone. If such a person were in the world of martial arts, he would definitely become the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Lin Dong can understand his thoughts.

Just like whoever invites Lin Dong to dinner, Lin Dong will think that he is a good person.

I invested money in his project, provided him with office space, and provided him with a comfortable place to live. This is not what a good person is.

And this good man planned to invest money in his fellow victims.

If there was such a martial arts leader in the animation and film industry, the entire industry would be much better off.

As for whether Boss Lin will be dragged to death by the animation and film industry.

Niu Jian really never thought about it.

As a person who is immersed in the animation and film industry, although he is very pessimistic about the current situation of animation films, he cannot continue to be pessimistic about the future.

When animation movies form an industrialized production process and are mass-produced according to a set of established processes, the time cost and production cost will be significantly reduced.

In addition, the animation and film industry has slowly cultivated a cross-age audience group.

Excellent works in this industry will still make money.

This is why he and Yang Sifan had the courage to make animations for non-young children.

Domestic audiences have been harmed by animation works for young children for too long, and now the industry must do more exploration.

Exploring more works with good reputation will build up character for the industry and make the audience more confident and realize that domestic animation can also be made like this.

Yang Sifan is the director of "The Great Guard".

He is different from Niu Jian, who makes an animated film by himself and has his own studio and team.

They have produced many animation works.

Of course, making money is never earned, and they rely on alms from everywhere to continue doing it.

There are always some rich people who do not want to make money, or are moved by their persistence, or to flaunt their literary and artistic labels, and just give them a small amount of money.

He was sending a friend out of the capital when Niu Jian sent him the message.

I have been a friend for many years and helped him make several animations.

Unfortunately, he didn't save any money, so his girlfriend from college finally couldn't stand his poverty and broke up with him.

In addition, the studio was running out of ammunition and food, so the project had to be suspended.

So I planned to go back to my hometown to rest for a while.

"What's going on?" asked my friend.

"Beef Tendon said that someone invested 10 million for him, and now they are planning to invest for us too." Yang Sifan was so happy that he couldn't help it. Isn't it bad to laugh out loud when a friend leaves such a sad situation?

.

"Damn it, someone really invested money?" My friend was also shocked.

The project was about to be put on hold, and suddenly everything became clear.

"Hey, don't leave. Let's start this project and now we have money." Yang Sifan suddenly remembered.

"I……"

"Oh, women and all, let's just leave. Let's just keep doing animation."

"Then you won't leave?"

"Don't leave, come with me to find the funder's dad now, we will be rich soon."

Soon the two brothers went back with their luggage.
