There are more god-level cartoonists or practitioners who are familiar in the animation industry, or the well-known ones are mainly concentrated in Neon, and there must be some in North America and Europe, but there are relatively few, at least there will be a lot less individuals, and more It is famous in the form of a studio, such as several major North American studios that are famous for producing animation. m
Before New Year's Day, Meng Fan had entrusted Takahashi of Kodansha to help him find suitable candidates. He has already contacted many practitioners, including great manga artists, well-known voice actors and animation directors, and voice actor girl groups, etc. There are also a few people who were invited, and it will take some time for the rest to be finalized.
On the contrary, the North American animation studio has a surprise. The surprise is the fourth sister Meng Caihe’s husband Steve. Yes, after meeting the parents, he has directly received the certificate and finished his honeymoon. Meng Fan has never asked about Steve’s family situation before. , It wasn't until they got the certificate that they knew that his family was very famous on the east coast of North America. Simply put, it came from a Jewish consortium.
It just so happens that their family is one of the shareholders of Disney Pictures, and they also hold shares in its subsidiary Pixar Animation Studios, which is not too much, but it is not difficult to get in touch with some big names in the animation industry. Therefore, the good news came earlier than Neon's side.
The confirmed list includes a big cow, North American animated film director, screenwriter, and producer peter-hans-doter, whose animated films directed, written, and supervised include "Inside Out" and "Up". ", "Monster Inc.", "Robot Story", "Toy Story 1+2" and so on, the names may not be heard by most people in China, but the works are definitely familiar.
Of course, Meng Fan spends a lot of money, various network resources, and face recognition to find these big cows. Whether it’s neon, North America or Europe, it’s impossible to just come and give an award and leave. The main purpose is to seek cooperation. However, the ultimate goal must be to make Huaxia Animation bigger and stronger. This original intention must not be forgotten.
After all, it is impossible for so many big stars to come here and only cooperate with Shanhai Animation Studio, even if they are willing to cooperate, Meng Fan also asked 8 stations and Penguin Animation Network to find a lot of animation studios and even companies, which is equivalent to I would like to take this opportunity to build a platform for everyone. Whether it will be successful or not, and how big this platform can be built is currently uncertain. This requires not only the efforts of Meng Fan's slaves, but also the efforts of others. As for whether everyone will give face to work together, that is another matter.
It was only when Meng Fan really started doing these things that he realized how naive, naive and ideal his original thinking was. There were too many interests involved, and it was more complicated than anything Meng Fan had done before. But it was precisely because of this that Meng Fan felt necessary.
There have been a lot of cooperation between Huaxia Animation and foreign animation, especially in animation films, there are many ways, but it is really rare for Meng Fan to set up a stage for everyone to sing. In the end, it is still about interests, and the premise of cooperation is also interests. It means how many people are stupid and have a lot of money.
Of course, if you really want to say how much extra investment, there is nothing.
Meng Fan didn't ask for anything else. There is always a person who needs to take the first step in many things, and he is willing to be this person.
In fact, in other fields, including the field of film, there are also people who have taken the first step similar to Meng Fan, and even went further, and more than one person, basically all of them are people who have achieved fame and no longer only seek fame after money. , but there is no such person in the field of Chinese animation, and Meng Fan is the person who is most in line with this "temperament", and naturally became the person who took the first step
"Are you sure you don't want to go?"
It was the twentieth of the new year. After participating in a commercial performance in Hangzhou, Shi Shiwu came to Shanhai Animation Studio. He happened to meet a person in charge of the Spring Festival Gala team who came to Hangzhou to invite Meng Fan to participate in the Spring Festival Gala for the second time. , At this time, the Spring Festival Gala program group has entered the final round, and it will be invited at this point in time, which shows the degree of desire.
However, Meng Fan refused again. Considering that he had recorded a program at the backstage of the National Day Gala and a certain time in the Imperial Capital a long time ago, this was the fourth time Meng Fan had declined.
There is really no time.
The well-known "trouble" of the Spring Festival Gala's rotation was the reason why Meng Fan refused twice before, and the next two times, although the program team said that Meng Fan's programs were all given the green light, it was because Meng Fan was busy with the animation awards.
However, Meng Fan didn't dare to refuse too harshly, and he still agreed to the invitation of the Lantern Festival Gala. At that time, both the Lawrence Awards and the Anime Awards had already ended.
"You're a little too busy!"
Seeing Meng Fan nodding, Shiwu really didn't know what to say. After finishing the business performance in Hangzhou this time, he will go to Shanghai to participate in another event. Basically, this year's work for the Lunar New Year is over and he will return to Lion City. Chinese New Year and vacation, and the first job at the beginning of the year is to participate in the Anime Awards.
In fact, the celebrities who met Meng Fan in the circle, or even Meng Fan’s friends outside the circle, are a little hard to understand that Meng Fan is doing animation awards. The more you know what role Meng Fan plays in it, the more difficult it is to understand. It's just thankless, and nothing can be more profitable, relaxing and pleasing than this.
Shi Shiwu can be regarded as a person who can understand this matter. After all, he also has hobbies other than music, and he is willing to devote time and energy to it. Well, that is games, and some people have said that he has time to do something. Not good, but Shiwu doesn’t think so. In his opinion, he can play games while earnestly making music. It’s just that he spends time doing other things in the game. It’s like working hard alone. It is quite normal to go to work seriously and do something you want and like to do after work.
Shiwu stayed at Shanhai Studio for a while, and after Meng Fan finished his work, the two made an appointment to have a meal. During this period, they met every other time, at least half a month later. It’s impossible to see each other again, I’m so sorry, even if I started to miss them before we parted, after all, Meng Fan’s quick hands are fast and his skills are fun, any game master fifteen can lie down and win, after we separate, I want to catch him for black basics It is impossible.
After finishing the meal, Shiwu hesitated for a few seconds and forced Meng Fan to open a blackout. He didn't let Meng Fan go back until after twelve o'clock in the evening, and he went to the Shanghai stock market in the middle of the night. The Shanghai stock market has to get up and prepare for activities after a few hours of sleep
The school is already on vacation, and most companies are also on vacation, but Shanhai Animation Studio still has to go to work, and the same is true for Damei Studio, which needs to be responsible for a lot of work for Shanhai Animation Awards. According to the current situation, Most members estimate that they will not be able to go home until after the 25th of the Lunar New Year. They are busy, but fortunately, the year-end bonus and red envelopes are very large.
