A studio that was on the verge of bankruptcy a year ago happened to meet Zhou Yang when they were having a break-up meal. Later, they received investment from Zhou Yang and lived on "Those Things About That Rabbit That Year"
Come down.
The second half of 2007 was extremely busy for the studio.
I worked on "That Rabbit That Year" almost every day, from the composition, from the voice actors, from the technology, and then after the script outline provided by Zhou Yang was interrupted, I started to write the follow-up story and realize the animation internally...
...
Along the way, these young men were having sex passionately.
With a little bit of luck, coupled with hard work and hard work, Baofeng Studio finally stabilized its footing and delivered a satisfactory answer in the midst of thousands of troops.
At the end of 2007, the boss Xue Ningyi calculated the studio's income. Putting aside various production fees and various operating expenses, the studio made more than 9 million yuan in pure profits from animation alone.
While patrolling the assembly line-like studio and looking at the motivated employees, Xue Ning looked at the poster of "That Year of the Rabbit" and an idea came to his mind again.
In addition to "Those Things That Rabbit That Year", they want to create another anime...
This year happens to be the year of the Olympic Games, and sports-themed animation is the main theme, so Xue Ning wanted to move closer to this aspect.
She discussed her ideas with Zhang Xiaoya, and the two hit it off immediately, and spent nearly two months working on a basketball-themed animation called "Slam Dunk" in great detail.
The general character design and story setting basically follow the trend of R-book's popular "Iron Slam Dunk". Even the names of the protagonist and supporting characters imitate "Iron Slam Dunk".
Ichiro Matsumoto, Saburo Kyoto, Shada Inoue...
After doing all this, Zhang Xiaoya contacted Zhou Yang immediately and chatted with Zhou Yang about his views and the concept of future animation.
However.....
"Isn't this exactly the same as "Iron Slam Dunk"? It's a low-end version of "Iron Slam Dunk"..." "Moreover, if you really copy the plot of "Iron Slam Dunk" like this, you won't be afraid of being sued by the other party for plagiarism."
?"
"More importantly, your character...the protagonist also has an afro, wears glasses, and often shouts the name of the slam dunk skill passionately. This is so embarrassing..."
"This..." In the office.
Zhang Xiaoya and Xue Ning listened to Zhou Yangli's complaints.
The two of them were extremely embarrassed. Xue Ning was a little unconvinced and explained to Zhou Yang that this was "crossing the river by feeling for the stones. It would be safer to do so. Moreover, China Animation plagiarized R's animation and actually plagiarized a lot of old and American animations. The other party wanted to
There is no way to sue..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then hung up immediately.
Xue Ning's cheeks were puffed out, but his somewhat unconvinced expression suddenly dropped like a deflated rubber ball.
"Do you think...Mr. Zhou is angry?" She glanced at Zhang Xiaoya with some confidence. "Mr. Zhou is not such a person..." Zhang Xiaoya shook her head.
But I felt uneasy in my heart.
I carefully recalled the animation and character design of my "Slam Dunk", and I suddenly realized that it was unreliable...
There was a brief silence in the office, and then Xue Ning boldly called Zhou Yang again, but found that no one answered the phone.
Xue Ning suddenly felt a little panicked.
Baofeng Studio wouldn't offend Zhou Yang, the God of Wealth, because of her words, right?
She thought for a moment and immediately sent an apology text message to Zhou Yang. After sending the text message, she began to send an apology email to Zhou Yang and conducted a series of in-depth reflections.
Starting from originality, company interests, and all aspects...
In the next two days, Xue Ning kept working with this uneasy mood while checking Zhou Yang's emails and text messages.
She did not receive a reply, nor did she receive any
He mailed the news and occasionally called Xu Mei to inquire about Zhou Yang's status. Xu Mei's reply was that Mr. Zhou was busy all the time.
She doesn't even know what Mr. Zhou is doing... Waiting is often quite uneasy.
She even wanted to go to Laomei as soon as possible and apologize to Zhou Yang in person.
However, on the third day, Zhang Xiaoya hurried over and looked at her excitedly with her cell phone.
"I'm back, I'm back, Mr. Zhou is back..." "What's back?"
"Mailbox, hurry up, open the mailbox, it's the plan for the new animation!" "Okay!"
The two little girls opened the mailbox with excitement, and then Xue Ning saw a new email appearing on the mailbox.
After clicking on the email, you will see a file that is more than 500M thick. Open the file...
The two saw four words: "Slam Dunk".
Afterwards, the two of them stared at the introduction.
[After Zhao Yingmu, a red-haired delinquent boy who was dumped by 50 female students in junior high school, was promoted to Shonan High School, he fell in love at first sight with Liu Wanqing, a girl in the same grade he met by chance. Under Wanqing's expectations, Sakuragi, who knew nothing about the rules of basketball,
Joined the basketball team. Driven by the rigorous training of Wan Qing's brother, basketball team captain Zhao Gangxian, and the sense of confrontation ignited against the "super newcomer" Shen Chuanfeng, Sakuragi's hidden talents finally emerged. At the same time, he also
Conquered by the charm of basketball...]
After reading the introduction, the two of them immediately clicked on the character designs. After reading the introduction, the two of them were instantly shocked!
Time seems to be the most worthless thing. March 15th.
"Liao Zhai Painted Skin" was finally released under the spotlight, with a staggering box office of 800 million.
After the movie was released, the special effects company behind the movie was officially exposed by netizens.
The company was called Pioneer, and its boss was Zheng He, a man with the same name who was a famous navigator in the Ming Dynasty.
It was once looked down upon by others, and even filmmakers in the industry unknowingly formed a concept that "domestic special effects are garbage". It seems to have been broken at this moment.
Domestic special effects do not seem to be as rubbish as imagined, and they are on the rise.
The movie "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" is like a good advertisement, putting "Pioneer Special Effects" on the hot search. Countless Chinese filmmakers began to become interested in this special effects company and began to find ways to contact "Pioneer Special Effects".
or special effects"...
But the strange thing is...
"Pioneer Special Effects" seems to be very mysterious. It does not accept orders and is not even interested in quotes from other movies. There are no producers and directors who have come all the way to discuss cooperation.
Someone went all the way to the "Pioneer Special Effects" company and stayed there for a full day or two...
But what is very frustrating is that the entire "Pioneer Special Effects" company only has a small storefront, a front desk, and a few financial officers.
You couldn't even contact the boss Zheng He at all. After finally contacting the boss, the other party's response was only a simple sentence.
"Sorry, we can't take orders at the moment."
This awesomeness left everyone speechless.
As the number of rejections increased, the number of filmmakers gradually began to find fewer and fewer...
However, there are no shortage of revelations about "Pioneering Special Effects" on the Internet. On the contrary, they can be seen every day in China's technology and film circles.
Someone broke the news that this is a special effects company from Hollywood. In essence, it is a company controlled by the famous Hollywood special effects company "Weta Special Effects". Zheng He is just a worker...
Someone broke the news that this was a company acquired by Zhou Yang last year, and all the special effects teams of this company were devoted to the production of the movie "Spider-Man"...
Others mysteriously said that this company is not controlled by Weta, but that Zhou Yang specially invited talents from Weta to help guide...
·...··
Countless revelations make netizens not sure whether they are true or false. But they are aware
Something happened...
That's why Zhou Yang seems to have really disappeared these days!
Except for the screenwriter of "Eavesdropping", which was released on the 15th, there seems to be no new news about Zhou Yang.
Like the "Trailblazer" special effects company.
Although there is no news about Zhou Yang on the Internet, rumors or revelations have continued!
[He was suppressed by Hollywood, but he refused to return to China. He still insisted on working in the United States and insisted on filming his "Spider-Man". I don't know how long he can last...]
[I heard that Zhou Yang has some financial problems and there is no money to invest in other projects...]
[He encountered difficulties. A friend of mine in the United States said that Zhou Yang’s health was worrying. He often stayed up late filming movies and was hospitalized several times...]
【】
Similar revelations come one after another...
But there seemed to be no good news in it. On the evening of March 16th.
The 80th Academy Awards, Best Nominations have been announced.
James Bunter's "Jaws" and "Time Travel", two films that topped the world cinema last year, are among the nominations.
In addition to these two movies, the currently being screened "Brokeback Mountain" was also nominated for an Academy Award. The screenwriter was impressively included. In addition to screenwriter J, the Chinese movie star Zhao Zhen was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor.
Nominate.
After the announcement of the Academy Awards, there was a stir in the Chinese film industry, with many saying that this year's Oscars would be a wonderful night of fighting between dragons and tigers...
After the awards company, major video platforms have tried every means to contact the Academy Awards, hoping to obtain live broadcast authorization.
But it's a pity...
Oscar officials don't seem to be interested in Chinese video websites. None of them have authorized them. If they want to watch the live broadcast of the Oscars, filmmakers can only go through the wall or live broadcast through the words and photos of some enthusiastic overseas netizens.
""The Overheard" premiered with a box office of 30 million, and it was a hit again!" "Oh."
"Mr. Zhou, are you really not going to the Oscars?" "Not going..."
"Mr. Zhou, there is another bad news. The movies exported by our company, which were shown in Xingyang Overseas Cinemas, have all been sold out. Xingyang Overseas Cinemas has lost money this quarter, and it has lost a lot. Miao
The person in charge over there has begun to feel overwhelmed...Mr. Zhou, do you want to discuss with Mr. Miao to close some theaters?"
"Just hold on a little longer."
evening.
The sunset fills the sky.
Zhou Yang heard a very bad news on the plane. Zhou Yang closed his eyes.
This year's winter is not cold, but spring is really too cold.
