After pulling Sun Peng to sit next to him, Zhang Hailin said with a smile: "A few years ago, I thought I could cooperate with Teacher Lao Bai, but I didn't expect that a few years later, your business is getting bigger and bigger.
I'm taking movies out all the time, but I've already entered a state of semi-retirement... Gee, just thinking about it makes people feel like things are different and people are different!"
Seeing Zhang Hailin's expression of emotion, Sun Peng also smiled and said: "Teacher Zhang, you really want to have some leisure time. Otherwise, based on your reputation, wouldn't anyone be able to stop you from continuing to make movies?"
"Haha, it's okay to make movies, but it's difficult to make the movies you want to make!"
Zhang Hailin did not hide it, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He is indeed very famous now, and there are many investors who are willing to throw money at him, but the highest one is only willing to give him 100 million yuan, which is not in Zhang Hailin's eyes at all.
But he also knows that no amount of more is realistic.
After all, Zhang Hailin emerged from the glorious era of costume blockbusters, and he became a top director with the help of costume blockbusters. But the difference between him and Wei Xiaolin is that he is young and has accumulated enough directing experience before switching to action films or science fiction films.
Yes, there are still prospects for development; but at Zhang Hailin's age, to put it bluntly, there is no possibility of "changing careers."
The risk is too great, no investor is willing to give him hundreds of millions to play with!
This is somewhat similar to Liang Ren. Today's big brother in the film industry seems to be in such an awkward stage. Large-scale investment in science fiction and action movies do not want him, but he does not like small and medium-sized investment, so he is suddenly embarrassed.
Mr. Zhang is still very dignified. If he doesn’t give him enough money, he will stop playing!
Sun Peng was naturally aware of this and smiled without saying anything. Film companies in this world are much smarter than those on Earth. No matter how famous these veteran directors are, they basically don’t get much.
investment to make a movie.
The reason is simple: we can’t produce masterpieces that keep up with the times!
This is why Sun Peng is unwilling to cooperate with Zhang Hailin or Liang Ren. He knows that these big guys will have a lower limit, but he also knows that their current upper limit is definitely not high!
"Survival of the fittest, it's the same in every world!"
Just when Sun Peng was sighing secretly, he suddenly saw a middle-aged woman walking slowly over. Before she even got there, she greeted her with a smile: "Teacher Sun, when did you arrive?"
"Hey, Teacher Wu!"
After seeing the person coming, Sun Peng quickly stood up, smiled and stretched out his right hand: "Long time no see... I just arrived."
The person who came was none other than Wu Lingling, one of today’s presidential candidates.
This successful producer has already turned fifty, but if you just look at her appearance, skin and dress, it would not be inappropriate to say that she is forty. She is so good at taking care of herself.
However, as soon as Wu Lingling arrived, the smile on Zhang Hailin's face faded instantly.
When the two of them looked at each other inadvertently, Sun Peng could even feel the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.
Shaking his head secretly, Sun Peng raised his eyes and saw an acquaintance not far away. He smiled and let go of Wu Lingling's right hand: "I'm sorry, you two, I saw an acquaintance... You two talk first, let's talk later.
."
After saying that, he nodded to them respectively, and Sun Peng walked towards the acquaintance.
Wu Lingling and Zhang Hailin were stunned at the same time. They both wanted to open their mouths to call Sun Peng, but after looking at each other, they closed their mouths at the same time. They also knew that as long as the other party was around, they could not say anything to Sun Peng at all, so naturally they could not
There is no need to call him.
So after taking a look at Zhang Hailin, Wu Lingling smiled and nodded, then turned and left.
Zhang Hailin's eyelids twitched wildly. He looked at Wu Lingling who was leaving, and then at Sun Peng who was walking away. He subconsciously rolled his eyes and was completely speechless...
…
"Dean Feng, long time no see."
After walking to the acquaintance, Sun Peng said hello with a smile.
"Ouch, Teacher Sun?!"
Turning around to see Sun Peng, Feng Zhaolin looked surprised and happy, and quickly shook hands with him: "You are here too today? This is really a rare visitor!"
"Haha, you don't know?"
"Uh, what do I need to know?"
Seeing Feng Zhaolin's confused look, Sun Peng was stunned for a moment and then laughed it off. It seemed that the dean of the Beijing Film Academy was not very concerned about today's so-called re-election. He didn't even know that Sun Peng was going to
Coming to attend is a matter of even being nominated as Vice Chairman.
Sun Peng didn't want to elaborate. He just glanced at the middle-aged woman next to Feng Zhaolin and asked with a smile: "Dean Feng, this is..."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you!"
Feng Zhaolin looked like he suddenly realized something, and he smiled quickly and said: "Here, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Li Aili, the dean of the animation school of our school. He has only been in office for less than three months!"
"Animation School?"
After listening to Feng Zhaolin's words, Sun Peng's eyes suddenly lit up. The Animation School of Beijing Film Academy is Sun Peng's alma mater, and it is also one of the places he focuses on funding now.
Of course, it was impossible for Li Ai not to know the big benefactor of his college. He nodded and said politely: "Hello, Teacher Sun, it's an honor to meet you! Thank you very much for your help to our college."
"Haha, hello, Teacher Li."
Sun Peng looked happy and shook hands with the other party quickly: "In recent years, the college has helped DreamWorks and Qinglan Animation a lot, and it has also sent so many talents there... To be honest, I should thank my alma mater.
That’s right!”
Sun Peng is still very satisfied with the cooperation with the Animation School.
On the one hand, of course, the juniors and juniors from their alma mater, many of whom are interning at DreamWorks and Qinglan Animation and stayed directly after graduation, on the other hand, because the internship center of the college is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more students every year.
Undertake many outsourcing tasks from DreamWorks or Laobai Studio...
For these two points, Sun Peng subsidizes the internship center at least tens of millions every year to update equipment and software.
So worth it.
You know, the animation school graduates trained through the advanced internship center and DreamWorks outsourcing work are much better than ordinary animation school graduates. They can be put to use almost as soon as they arrive at the company, and they also have
Very high loyalty.
These donations from Sun Peng are actually equivalent to investments in future employees.
So after chatting for a while, Sun Peng smiled boldly and said: "Dean Li is also here and wants to tell you something. DreamWorks has recently released a new set of software and has started selling it to the outside world. I will give it to the school later.
Send a hundred sets over there!"
"DreamWorks? The software they made themselves?"
"Yes, you are self-sufficient!"
Smiling, Sun Peng explained: "Because it's too much work to achieve certain animation effects, I developed a set specially..."
"Hiss..."
After listening to Sun Peng's words, Li Ai and Feng Zhaolin took a breath of air at the same time.
While thanking Sun Peng for his funding, the two of them lamented that DreamWorks has a lot of money to develop a set of software for a certain effect? This operation is six!
After chatting for a while, Feng Zhaolin looked around and suddenly asked with a smile: "Teacher Lao Bai, who are you going to vote for today? Let me tell you in advance, we will just vote with you."
"Isn't this... bad?"
After being stunned for a moment, Sun Peng laughed and said: "Dean Feng should consider the needs of the school and vote for whoever should be selected. I am just here to gather the number of people today."
"..."
After listening to his words, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Feng Zhaolin shook his head and laughed softly: "Haha, if you don't come today, we will naturally vote according to the original plan, but since Lao Bai is present
This time of re-election, haha, the result is actually already determined..."
