The love between men and women, breaking up and getting back together, getting back together and breaking up again, Sun Peng couldn't understand it anyway.
The only thing he knew was that his love affair with Zheng Jia started from an encounter on the basketball court, and it always seemed to be dull, lacking in twists and turns, and even lacked passion in the eyes of Lin Lin and others. But no matter he or Zheng Jia,
Jia, everyone seems to be happy with this kind of plain emotion, and never feels bored or dull.
and……
Wasn't the night just past full of passion?
Early the next morning, when Sun Peng, who had some soreness in his waist and legs, climbed out of bed with great perseverance, Zheng Jia had already left for work. And he just ate some love breakfast prepared by his wife, and then
We took a bus to DreamWorks.
"Mulan" is the past, "Kung Fu Panda" is now!
It's just that Sun Peng thought this way, but the people at DreamWorks couldn't do it, so as soon as he walked to the gate of his company, the two little girls at the front desk screamed: "Wow, wow, wow, old man
Teacher Bai is here! Teacher Bai is here!"
While shouting, a little girl immediately ran inside.
"...What's going on?"
Startled by the reaction of the two little girls, Sun Peng immediately hurried to look at the sign at the gate... Yes, it's DreamWorks Animation!
Isn't this seven-story building the office building that DreamWorks just replaced?
Today's DreamWorks is much larger than before. When "Mulan" was originally produced, it was suitable for several major domestic animation companies such as Hafei Animation to cooperate together. At least more than a hundred people participated in the production of the animation.
, and a lot of work is outsourced.
But this time for "Kung Fu Panda", DreamWorks chose to fully invest and take charge independently!
Not only because Chen Muchen and Xia Qingqing have furthered their ambitions, but also because several partners such as Hafei Animation are not willing to be DreamWorks' assistants.
Who is doing animation these days and doesn’t have a little dream?
Especially after seeing the quality of the finished product of "Mulan" and discovering that with enough investment and time, Chinese people can make animations that are as good as Hollywood, or at least not too far behind, they will naturally have different opinions.
DreamWorks can do this kind of idea, why can't we give it a try?
You must know that even with the great master Lao Bai in charge, DreamWorks is just a junior in the animation industry.
Therefore, after the cooperation on "Mulan" ended, everyone seemed to be somewhat apart from each other, and the cooperation issues for the next film were never settled. Later, after the "Kung Fu Panda" project was approved and planning began, it was simply shelved indefinitely.
Therefore, as early as a year ago, DreamWorks started a new round of crazy expansion!
Not only the novices who graduated from animation schools, but also the elites of major domestic companies, as well as poaching from the animation giants in Hollywood, are Chen Muchen's forte! And because he has the golden name of laobai, he also has a higher salary than in Hollywood.
Although it’s not that the poachers will be miserable, there is still no problem in recruiting more than 30 top Hollywood talents.
When there are more people, the original office building will naturally not be enough.
So after careful selection, Chen Muchen rented this seven-story building only six kilometers away from Sun Peng's home, and then packed more than 400 people from the company in before the release of "Mulan"...
Okay, I'm going too far.
Just when Sun Peng was startled and hesitated to ask what happened, he saw a group of people rushing out of the gate, and the crowd suddenly surrounded him.
When he reacted, these people had already started cheering, the sound was deafening...
…
"Oh my god, I was scared to death!"
Until he walked into the general manager's office of DreamWorks, Sun Peng seemed to be still in shock. He patted his chest and said exaggeratedly: "These guys are so exaggerated. I almost thought there were enemies who had sneaked into DreamWorks. I came here specifically to snipe today."
Mine...if they hadn't surrounded me and there was no way, I would have turned around and ran away!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
After listening to Sun Peng's words, Chen Muchen and Xia Qingqing laughed at the same time.
These words were of course a joke, so after sitting down and taking a sip of hot tea made by Chen Muchen himself, Sun Peng grinned and said, "But it's really too exaggerated, isn't it? I know that the box office of "Mulan" is great, but...
There won't be a group of people waiting at the gate waiting for me to come, right?"
"Boss, have you not paid attention to the box office in the past two days?"
Seeing Sun Peng's confused look, Chen Muchen guessed a possibility and asked with a smile.
"Uh...what's wrong?"
After working hard all night yesterday, Sun Peng was naturally confused by the general manager's words.
"The domestic box office has officially exceeded 4 billion!"
Even though she had been excited for a long time, when talking about the box office of "Mulan", Xia Qingqing was still excited and excited: "This is not only China's first animated film with a revenue of over 4 billion, but it also surpassed
It’s twice as much as the second place! And the overseas box office exceeded 200 million US dollars, which also set a new record! Tell me, can we not be excited, can we not be excited?"
"……should!"
His eyelids twitched wildly, and Sun Peng nodded quickly.
After listening to what Xia Qingqing said, he finally understood what was going on: in terms of excitement about every node of the movie's box office, Xia Qingqing and the others were completely different from him!
To put it simply, the expectations are different.
As the "creator", original author and screenwriter of "Mulan", Sun Peng is well aware of the charm of this animation, and also knows the huge box office potential of this animated film given the lack of animation masterpieces in China. Therefore, in animation
Before its release, he was more confident than anyone else. So when the box office of "Mulan" exceeded 3.5 billion, and a large amount of box office revenue was collected every day, Sun Peng knew that it was a certainty to cross the 4 billion mark.
.
When this day came, his reaction was naturally quite dull.
But Chen Muchen and Xia Qingqing, or everyone else at DreamWorks, are different from Sun Peng, who is mainly doing transportation work. The animation "Mulan" is their hard work, and it has been their life for more than a thousand days and nights.
The result of a hard night’s work!
To use a cliché, "Mulan" is like their child.
So every time the box office breaks through an important node, these people will be shaking with excitement and unable to control themselves. And last night after the box office finally broke through the defense line of 4 billion, everyone was naturally excited, and just at this time Sun Peng arrived
company……
After understanding this, Sun Peng naturally had to show the attitude a boss should have.
With a big wave of his hand, he said with a smile: "Haha, senior brother, we should set up a reward plan, right? In this case, we don't have to wait until the movie is offline and start distributing money!"
"Okay, the boss has the final say!"
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Muchen nodded simply.
The current box office results of "Mulan" have already exceeded their expectations, so there is no problem in issuing rewards in advance. They may even have to replenish the rewards when it is released, but that will definitely be a thing in the future.
Everyone happily chatted about the bonus for a while. Chen Muchen then remembered the purpose of Sun Peng's visit today and asked with a smile: "By the way, you called before and said you had something to discuss with us. What is it specifically?"
"Oh, that's right."
Sitting up straighter, Sun Peng thought for a moment and said seriously: "If you were asked to choose a movie adaptation among the picture books I have published, which one would you choose?"
