Lao Bai's animation scripts can definitely make money, and they can make a lot of money. Everyone knows this.
But if you want to make this money, you must first invest a huge sum of money to update equipment and software, poach people from all over the world, and also spend five or six years producing animations. Is it still worthwhile?
Therefore, whether it is cost-effective or not depends solely on the strength of the company.
If you are a top boss like Kaboka, you will naturally be overjoyed, because they want money and people, and they also have the richest production experience in the world, so they can produce animations in the least time and at the lowest cost.
Come out; if it's DreamWorks, it's no problem. Although they are slightly worse than Kaboka in all aspects, after several years of accumulation, they already have the ability to hit the world's top level!
Of course, the more important thing is that they have the best boss in the world!
At least that's what Sun Peng himself thinks.
Regardless of whether it is profitable or not, DreamWorks will never be short of money on its books. As long as Chen Muchen makes a phone call, Sun Peng will immediately send a sum of money in. Although it has stopped injecting capital in the past two years, it is also because of "Mulan"
"The success of "DreamWorks" allows DreamWorks to support itself. And no matter how long it takes to make an animation, Sun Peng never rushes it. In order to make it more beautiful, he even suggested extending the production cycle!
There are not many bosses like this in reality, but they are very rare.
At least the domestic animation companies don't have the courage, because in the past long time of small and small work, their accumulation is not enough, it is impossible to invest so much at once, and then they can only wait for success a few years later...
"Well..."
Sun Peng had a headache as his fingers kept tapping on the table.
However, he only had a headache for a few seconds before he slapped the table and said, "Damn! Isn't it because I have no money? Isn't it because the production cycle is too long and the investment is too large and the company is brought down? What a big deal!"
"
Standing up quickly, Sun Peng picked up his mobile phone and dialed Chen Muchen's number: "Old Chen, let me tell you something..."
…
Three days later, Hafei animation.
The receptionist at Hafei Animation glared hard and suppressed her sleepiness. At the same time, she straightened her waist and tried to make her standing posture as straight as possible.
There are three big bosses of the company in front of you, so you can't make any mistakes.
"Damn it, why do you have to come here at noon?"
When she thought that she could have taken a nap, but now she could only stand carefully behind the bosses, the lady at the front desk was full of resentment. However, she could only keep this resentment in her heart, although she didn't understand why those guys
She insisted on coming to visit at noon, and she didn't understand why the company's boss and two vice presidents were so solemn, but one thing she knew very well, the other party must have a lot of background!
"bite!"
"Eh? Here we come!"
Hearing the soft ding of the elevator outside the door, the front desk lady immediately perked up, causing her already straight waist to straighten up again.
The lady at the front desk tilted her head curiously, and soon saw a man and a woman walking out of the elevator.
The man is in his forties, and he obviously looks like a boss, while the woman next to him is only about thirty years old, and she obviously plays the role of a secretary or assistant. Just look at her brand-name clothes and her high-spirited appearance, and then think about her own appearance.
She had good looks and a good figure, but she could only stand here at the front desk. She suddenly felt a little unhappy...
"Mr. Chen, long time no see."
After seeing the two of them, Fang Lina, the boss of Hafei Animation, immediately greeted them with the two vice presidents: "Haha, welcome to Hafei Animation... Speaking of which, this should be the second time that Mr. Chen comes to our company.
?”
"Good afternoon, house manager!"
After shaking hands with Fang Lina first, Chen Muchen nodded with a smile and said: "Isn't this the second time? I've always wanted to come a few more times to communicate with Mr. Chen, but unfortunately... Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, long time no see
Already."
After chatting with the three people, Chen Muchen was led by Fang Lina to her office.
The boss's office is naturally quite large, at least 40 square meters.
After coming in, she gave up her seat and asked her secretary to pour tea. After chatting for a while, everyone sat on the sofa in the reception area respectively. Then Fang Lina raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, are you
This great god suddenly came to our small temple of Hafei Animation, but what happened?"
Fang Lina was also quite surprised by Chen Muchen's sudden visit.
Although everyone has collaborated on Spirited Away and Mulan before, especially during the production of "Mulan", Hafei Animation still worked hard with a learning attitude. But now DreamWorks is working on "Kung Fu Panda"
", they stopped getting involved. It's not because Hafei Animation didn't want to, but because DreamWorks no longer needs it.
Although she is not very happy, Fang Lina has to admit that the current strength of DreamWorks has surpassed Hafei Animation.
As a long-established domestic animation company, Hafei Animation has a deep foundation, but its momentum is obviously not as good as DreamWorks. Especially if they have a good boss who not only gives them money, but also has the world's top IP for DreamWorks to adapt.
How can this compare? Thinking about the more than a hundred Japanese or Korean animation masters in DreamWorks, Hafei Animation can only think about it and drool.
and……
The past two years of Hafei Animation have been really difficult.
I don't know if the Chinese people's appetite has been fed by "Mulan". In the past two years, several movies produced by Hafei Animation have suffered at the box office, which has caused a lot of pressure on the company's operations. As for the animated series,
The situation is also not good. Two consecutive works failed, causing Hafei Animation to suffer a lot of losses.
Now the company's debt ratio has exceeded the warning line.
Looking at the now proud Chen Muchen, Fang Lina felt really uncomfortable. If possible, she really wanted to cooperate with Lao Bai again, but the other party's conditions were really...
Anyway, judging from the current situation of the company, Fang Lina really doesn’t dare to do it!
It’s not that I don’t dare to gamble, it’s that I don’t have the capital to gamble!
Firstly, there is not that much cash to invest in new animated films, and secondly, the production cycle is so long. Hafei Animation does not have the patience to make a successful film after five years. Even if the patience is not lost, the company will be dragged down.
"Snoring..."
After taking a sip of tea, Chen Muchen smiled and said: "Boss, since you asked so, I'll get straight to the point! I just received a call from my boss three days ago. He wanted me to ask you: Hafei Animation
For sale?”
"Sell? What do you mean?"
Fang Lina was stunned after hearing Chen Muchen's words, and Fang Lina couldn't react for a while.
"Haha, that's what it means literally."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Muchen's smile faded and he said seriously: "Our boss wants to acquire Hafei Animation. Does your company want to sell it?"
