Chapter 833

"This is the first film teacher He Xi plans to make?" At the dinner party, Bai Yan takes a script and looks at it carefully. Beside her, several other directors also look through some original paintings and other film documents.

"How about the movie?" Meng Huo asked.

"I think it will work. It's bound to be hot."“ The album looks very impressive and the directors praise it. Bai Yan nods and says, "the script is very detailed and the plot is impeccable. Even if it is made into a live action movie, the box office will not be bad."

"But it will be more popular if it's made into an animated film..." she looked at the script in her hand and thought that the title of the script was "the magician at the beginning of the century", which was a mystery movie - yes, it was the theater version of Detective Conan.

This theme is very good. When the four directors saw the words "Detective Conan", they let go of their worries for more than a month. In the process of this job hopping, what worries directors most is whether the first animated film can succeed. If not, they will fall into the mire.

However, seeing that the first film turned out to be the theater version of Detective Conan, everyone was relieved. No matter what the script is, with the amazing influence of the original animation, the film is hard to fail, and it also has tens of millions of box office revenue.

This is equivalent to removing a huge stone from the directors' hearts, and everyone becomes relaxed.

One of the most relaxed people is Bai Yan. She took the lead in reading the script outline and got to know the plot of the film. The plot of the film is absolutely excellent. She believes that even if there is no influence of the original animation, the box office will not be bad if the script is slightly changed to live actors.

Bai Yan is not worried about the failure of her job hopping. She passes the script to the director around her, and then asks Meng Huo, "when will it start?"

"It's going to take a few days..." Meng Huo looked at Alice. Alice nodded and found out the documents to help him reply: "we have started to register the new company. We will discuss with you about the final shares in a few days. If it goes well, we can officially operate before the end of the month... The address of the company is near Yanjing University, and we have rented it."

Alice had been looking for a new company's address before. She chose to stay near Yanjing University for the convenience of Meng Huo's study. It's not far from the Conservatory of music. Meng Huo's activities in Yanjing can become more convenient. Before they planned to buy Dongfangxing, they moved there. Now they decided not to buy it. They just rented it first, and they can start recruitment right away.

The directors are satisfied with the address. Yanjing University is a university gathering area with a lot of talents. It's great for the new company to be there.

"And the painter?" White goose continued to ask: "look at the current situation, the number of painters is not enough?"

"Well..." Alice stopped for a moment, then said with a smile, "it doesn't matter. We'll start the operation first, and there's still a long buffer time, which is enough for us to recruit excellent painters."

She guides the actors to explain her plan. There are still ten days to go before March. Alice wants to seize this time to poach nearly half of the painters from the Oriental Star. These painters will start running in and preparing for the film immediately after they join. This is another buffer time.

In this buffer period, the title of "Detective Conan" theater edition can help Phoenix attract more painters - not many painters don't want to make a fire animated film.

"It's urgent, but I think it's completely feasible." Alice finally affirmed, and Meng Huo then added, "although I plan to release the film in June, you don't have to worry. If the painters are not enough... The release time can be delayed."

Bai Ya was relieved. She looked at other directors, and they didn't question her. Meng Huo relaxed the deadline, so there was no pressure. Moreover, they were all Alice's acquaintances and had great confidence in Alice's ability.

The painter's problem was solved and the new company was registered. Two annoying problems disappeared. The atmosphere of the dinner party became lively. The directors showed a relaxed expression and talked about some minor problems.

"Teacher He Xi, is the name of the magician at the beginning of the century a little strange?" One director asked, "it's not the beginning of the century. Could you change it to another name?"

Meng Huo was a little surprised. Is the name strange? He thinks it's OK, but it's not the name of the original work. The original name of the book is "the magician at the end of the century", because this theater version of the film was broadcast in 1999.

Of course, this name can't be used in this world. When Meng Huo painted Detective Conan, he planned to make some changes to its time and background. He can't write the story of the 20th century in the 21st century, which is hard for readers to accept.So when he planned to make "the magician at the end of the century", Meng Huo had to change his name to "the magician at the beginning of the century".

"Do you also find the word" the beginning of the century "strange?" Meng Huo asked other directors.

No, not at all“ From a historical point of view, this is indeed the beginning of the century. I think this name is OK“ Lao Lin, you care too much. A while ago, there was a TV play called love at the beginning of the century? It's about 2022, and I didn't hear anyone say it's strange. "

The remaining three directors have no opinions on the name of "the magician at the beginning of the century", which reassures Meng Huo.

In fact, he attaches great importance to the film and doesn't want to make it unexpected. This film is not the first theatrical version of Detective Conan, but it's a box office success. This is also the first black-and-white cartoon in theater editions of all ages.

The main content of "the magician at the beginning of the century" is around a royal treasure of Romanov Dynasty "the egg of memory". Just like the name of the film, the main role of this film is the thief Kidd besides Conan.

Kidd is a very attractive character. Now he has a large number of fans in China. In the selection of characters in Detective Conan on various websites, Kidd's popularity is also in the forefront. Therefore, it is the most appropriate choice to take him as the protagonist of the first theater version, which ensures the popularity of the film from a dual perspective.

"But I didn't expect that Mr. He Xi would start with Detective Conan!" "Bai Yan said with a smile:" this theme is bold enough, too much more than I expected

Although a popular animated theater film will win a lot of popularity from the beginning, it will also bear a lot of pressure. Once the film is not good enough, the criticism of the media and the audience will be greater, and even affect the reputation of the original work.

So at the beginning, Bai Yan didn't expect Meng Huo to start with popular animation. This is a very bold idea. She thinks that he should be very conservative about the first film of cooperation.

"From the beginning, I was going to choose one of the two movies, the fairy of Chongwu and Detective Conan." However, Meng Huo never thought of conservative approach. What he wanted was success. Of course, he had to choose the most successful works.

"There's also a theater version of" Chong Wu elf " Alice's eyes brightened.

"Well." Meng Huo took a look at her: "I promised to set up a new company just for these two works. They can develop a theater version model. It's not difficult to launch a theater version every year, so this new company is absolutely very useful... Of course..."

He saw the guides: "if you don't like it, In the future, we can still focus on original films, and when there is no original film plan, we can make the theater version derived from animation. "

White wild goose they silly eyes, listen to these words of Meng Huo, they just clearly see his idea.

"No? How can we not like it“ Every year, there are theatrical versions of Detective Conan and the little elf. It's so scary“ Mr. He Xi, please be sure to do so. In the future, we will focus on theater movies, and original movies will be secondary! "

After the reaction, the directors stood up excitedly. How could they oppose Meng Huo's idea and not welcome it with both hands!

What's the difference between theater version and original animation? The theater version is also original, and it has the natural advantage of popularity. Taking it as the main business will bring greater benefits to the new company.

The directors all have shares in the new company. Naturally, they hope that the stronger the company, the better. According to Meng Huo's idea, if the popular animated films like "Detective Conan" and "Chong Wu elf" are released every year, the development of the new company is absolutely like a fire arrow!

Alice was also surprised. She saw the emergence of a new business from Meng Huo's words. If the theater version of animation forms a series, it's a great thing - the new company's positioning will definitely not be an ordinary animation studio, but will quickly become an independent and important department like "sound studio".

Phoenix company will have a brand new business model, and is a series of film model, the economic benefits of the film is extraordinary, maybe this company will become the main profit department in the future.

"It seems that there will be fewer painters..."

Alice flashed the idea that the original plan to launch two movies a year was almost the same, but now it is possible to have two theater movies at the end of the year. In addition, the original animated movies must be indispensable. The expansion of the new company has become inevitable.

At least in a few years, its painters will be very scarce
