Chapter 195 The classic of the past, the glory of the past! Investment from the three giants!
This is a long process, and Su Yi knows not to rush.
It requires a cumulative audience and a well-produced team.
Just relying on a mystery is not enough.
Furthermore, supporting an animation company is not conducive to competition.
There are many more animation companies to choose from.
In fact, Shangmei has a good foundation, but it has not kept up with the times. In the era of making money, it wanted to follow the trend and make money, but it shot some low-quality animations.
The reputation further declined, but it did not bring much benefit.
On CCTV, Tutu with big ears was pretty good. In 2005, he became the ratings champion.
But the maximum is only 3.5%!
Yes, this data seems to be exaggerated.
After all, it is a cartoon, and many children were not allowed to watch it at home when they were too young.
As we all know, who is the easiest person to make money from?
Definitely not a man.
Women and children!
So Natu’s ratings shocked the toy industry!
When Zhou Runfa and his wife went to find Su Yi, Su Yi was very busy, and he was really not pretending.
Toy dealers lined up to buy copyrights and advertise.
So this copyright is still very important.
The leaders above said hello, and Su Yi decided to put the copyright issue in his own hands this time.
Shangmei is the best example!
Once glorious, now only these few classic cartoon copyrights are left.
"Really? That's great! I really like Calabash Baby! When I saw Butterfly Girl die, I cried for a long time!"
Xiao Xuan experienced that As a child, I still miss the animated version of Calabash Baby very much.
"Sister Shi Shi, have you also seen Calabash Baby?"
Xiaoxuan had always liked Liu Shishi, but now that she saw Liu Shishi in person, she was always disgusted with him.
Liu Shishi also liked Su Yi's two younger sisters very much and was friendly with the family.
"I have seen it. It was indeed a pity at the time. In fact, it is also a pity that the seven children merged together."
Those born in the 80s and 90s, despite experiencing the era of underdeveloped Internet , but they all had a happy childhood.
At least in terms of cartoons.
"Really! I think so too! Brother Yi, we are very close to Sister Shi Shi!"
Su Yi smiled helplessly when he saw Xiaoxuan who was as big as a brat.
Liu Shishi was also a little shy, and her face slowly turned red.
She really came to give gifts, not to "recognize the door".
Although I like Su Yi in my heart, I like his talent and his righteousness.
But you can't just send it to your door.
"Xiaoxuan, don't talk nonsense, it will make Liu Shishi feel embarrassed - child, it turns out you are so thin. When I watched the Tang Palace Night Banquet, I said, this dancer is You can’t be too thin if you take off those clothes that make you fat.”
The second aunt hurriedly changed the subject.
"Yes, this child is young and has good dancing skills. Even if he doesn't act in the future, he will at least be a national first-class actor."
Liu Shishi shook his head modestly.
"It's not that great. The Yuzhou Song and Dance Troupe are all very professional dancers. I learned a lot from them."
The popularity of the Spring Festival Gala is still there, and Bangzi Country has suffered two critical blows since the Chinese New Year. .
The first one is to invite the disabled dance troupe more than ten times!
Yes, a dozen times!
They have good taste and want to let them attend the party of Bangzi Country.
But they were all rejected.
Even if he invests millions, he remains unmoved.
The second critical blow was that Parasite won four Oscars!
This is an honor for Director Long Guo, and it is also a kind of political recognition.
But as much as it shocks the film industry of Dragon Kingdom, it will be a critical blow to them.
This time the people of Bangzi Country continued to cause trouble.
It doesn’t matter if this kind of movie has a box office, after all, the movie itself is of high quality.
But after experiencing the 'confrontation' between the people of the Bangzi Country and the Star Flag Country, there were many casualties.
Later it even rose to the level of diplomacy.
The Embassy of the Bangzi Country in the Star Flag Country lodged a serious protest.
Everyone in the world knows that Bangzi Country is a vassal country of Star Flag Country.
It is similar to the relationship between the ancient Shilong Kingdom and the Bangzi Kingdom, but even if it is a relationship between master and vassal, the international impact must be considered.
I don’t know what conditions were secretly reached at the time, but the matter was later settled.
But this movie has become a sensitive point.
Bangzi Country pretended not to know that the three major awards in Bangzi Country were originally meant to be selected for parasites next year.
But by 2006, he pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Anyway, they paid some technology in exchange.
We have already paid a huge price, and now we are pretending that it didn’t happen.
Su Yi doesn't even care, what is the trophy of Bangzi Country used for?
Throw it in the trash can?
Or be a chamber pot?
"This time I am going to the Magic City with my senior. Do you want Xiaoxuan to follow?"
Liu Shishi said with a smile.
She really feels that this girl is very close to her.
“I really want to go, but the winter vacation is over and classes have already begun.”
"That's a pity. Let's wait until the holidays."
Liu Shishi also wants to cooperate with copyright this time.
·······
Shangmei Studios.
Although it has experienced the most glorious era, it has gone downhill.
But now Shangmei still has its own pride.
Director Jin frowned and sighed.
He felt like a tiger being bullied by a dog.
How glorious was the US in those days?
Now we have to cooperate with a young director to complete the transfer of copyright!
Director Su Yi is the public service advertisement director of Capital Television. He was once the third-level director of the editor-in-chief of CCTV and is now the deputy director of the children's channel.
None of these are important to Director Jin.
Not even next to each other.
Their superior unit is Shanghai Film.
Shanghai Film and China Film are both owned by the National Film Bureau.
The level is the same, even though China Film Group is at its peak under the leadership of Han Sanping.
But they are competing with each other.
What made Director Jin a little annoyed was the superior's documents and Su Yi's identity.
National Film Administration, deputy director of review.
Although his rank is higher, Su Yi also holds a position of real power in the superior unit.
But he came to discuss copyright on behalf of CCTV!
It is really an art for leaders to employ people!
Thinking again about Natu, the rabbit directed recently by Su Yi, you don’t need to think about it to know what he is here for.
A young man who graduated less than a year ago has reached the pinnacle of his ability.
“Buzz!”
The phone rang.
The number displayed above is the number of Chairman Wang of Shanghai Film Group.
"Hello, Chairman Wang."
"Lao Jin, Su Yi and the others are almost here. They have already boarded the reception business car. This negotiation is very important, don't be emotional. , This is also the intention of the superiors, we can’t do it openly, and if we take advantage of it, it will also be an opportunity for us.”
Return the opportunity?
Factory Director Jin kept guessing about his leader's intentions.
“Now is not the past. We want to develop, and Shanghai Meiying also needs to develop. We may have to make some sacrifices, but it is worth it.”
The leaders always speak like this, vaguely, Don’t let you understand too much.
The gold factory hung up the phone and let out a long breath, then looked at Su Yi's resume.
Facing such young people, there is a feeling of great pressure.
····
Su Yi stretched out after leaving the airport.
The same goes for Liu Shishi on the side.
Although the place is not far away, the plane is still a bit tiring.
“Last time, I was presenting awards in the Star Flag Country, and I was almost exhausted. As I just told you...do you have time to go? It’s a good opportunity.”
Su Yi twisted his neck.
The group of them got on the King Long minibus.
This is considered standard.
After Su Yi talked about cooperation here, he was about to go to shoot a documentary.
Lao Wang has already taken people to take pictures of the scenery.
The actors have been selected and they are all famous actors.
Su Yi also added a dancing scene to the documentary.
If he wants to enrich the documentary, he must have the most perfect effect.
Among the people Su Yi knows, Liu Shishi is the best dancer, and she is also the best dancer.
And Liu Shishi is suitable for wearing ancient costumes, and dancing has a high-end beauty.
"Okay, that's my honor."
Liu Shishi nodded. She is currently practicing both dancing and acting. She has been working very hard. Now she has the opportunity to star in Su Yi's work. Although it is only a documentary, it is also very interesting. expect.
"Okay, let's go together when the time comes and try to take your shots first so as not to delay your studies."
Liu Shishi was happy, but shy and didn't know how to express it.
This girl blushed with excitement.
Su Yi smiled.
The two were chatting, and the car had already arrived at the gate of Shangmeiying. "Director Su Yi! Hello!"
After briefly introducing himself, Su Yi looked at Factory Director Jin in front of him.
A little bit vicissitudes of life, but he looks quite elegant with glasses.
"Hello, Director Jin. When I get here, I feel like I have returned to my childhood memories."
Director Jin brought Su Yi to the historical exhibition hall.
I don’t know what this means, it seems a bit intimidating.
The glory of Meiying are displayed one by one according to the era.
"In 1953, the first color puppet film was born! "Little Heroes"!"
"In 1978, a new type of animation was added, paper-cut films, which absorbed the artistic characteristics of shadow puppetry, northern paper-cutting, and window grilles, and produced the colorful paper-cut film "Zhu Bajie Eating Watermelon"!"
"In 1960, the first The first ink animation "Tadpole Looking for Mom"! "
"In 1961, "Havoc in Heaven" was praised by the leaders! "
"Jiuse Lu, Mr. Nan Guo, Nezha Nao Sheriff Hai, Black Cat."
Su Yi looked at each familiar scene very seriously.
To be honest, the seniors of that era were really amazing.
I don’t have so much knowledge, but I am unbridled.
“In 1982, Shanghai Film and Television collaborated with Beijing Film and Television to produce the movie "Peacock Princess"!"
"Calabash Brothers, Rubik's Cube Building, The Adventures of the Sloppy King, Shuke and Beta."
Seeing this, Liu Shishi's eyes turned red.
The memories of childhood are amazing.
Those familiar pictures, those countless honors.
Silver Bear Award! Golden Rooster Award, Golden Bear Award
Su Yi sighed, it was such an indelible memory.
Director Jin is also observing Su Yi's expression.
This is his 'conspiracy'.
An animation director who can write the script of Natu will not be an incompetent person.
I also attach great importance to the word "feelings".
Sure enough, Su Yi looked serious, his eyes sometimes filled with excitement and sometimes nostalgia.
Half the battle!
Until the 2001 work "I'm Crazy about Singing", Shangmei Film had begun to fully transform into commercial animation.
Later, Big Ears Tutu was the last light.
It’s about to get dark!
State-owned animation production will also be terminated.
The end of an era may not represent the entire industry.
After all, the subsequent "Xi Yang Yang", "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit", "Qin Shi Mingyue", "Soul", and "Bad Man" are all excellent works.
But Su Yi still didn't want to see this behemoth sitting on nothing.
"Please take a seat."
Director Jin sighed.
Su Yi was invited into the conference room.
Su Yi and Liu Shishi both saw Factory Manager Jin pretending to yawn and wipe his tears - he must have been moved just now.
"The leader handed over the document yesterday. I saw it in the middle of the night and still didn't understand it. It's funny."
Director Jin explained.
It seems that there is something behind the words. Liu Shishi is simple-minded now, but he can hear it.
“Those works just now are all made by children who went to Meiying. They are alive and have always been in my heart, in the hearts of all the previous directors, directors and production staff!”
Director Jin did not talk about any cooperation and still talked about the previous topic.
Su Yi listened carefully and did not interrupt.
This is the legendary history of Shang Meiying, and he should respect it.
“Shanghai Meiying has actually been working hard, but with the economic boom, many things have changed. More talented people would rather go to some private companies than care about the iron rice bowl.”
< br>“But it doesn’t matter, we still have many passionate directors and screenwriters. Give us enough time, we can do better.”
"We will never give up on the children who go to Meiying. This is their home!"
Director Jin's tone was calm, but there was perseverance in his eyes.
It can be seen that his feelings for Shang Meiying are still very deep.
This is asking yourself to give up.
However, this kind of trick is okay for Liu Shi, but it has no effect on himself.
"The glory of your factory is visible to all in the Dragon Kingdom. I would also like to thank all the previous staff for giving me a wonderful childhood memory."
Su Yi answered the question, he knew What does the other person want to do.
Even if it is a led file, it does not want to give up the copyright, or even jointly develop it.
Because I am afraid of ruining the classics.
Although Su Yi is very popular, the production of Natu is not very sophisticated. In the eyes of some animators, it is just full of emotion.
Su Yi only has this one animation work, and Shangmei Film doesn't care about honors in other fields, because it doesn't mean that Su Yi can also direct animated films well.
Seeing the sincerity on Su Yi's face, Director Jin remained silent, but felt slightly moved in his heart.
“In my childhood memories, there were many cartoons that could accompany me, and almost all of them were produced by American Film. I believe this was the case for people of our time. So Director Jin, even though you own the copyright , but they are not just your children, they are also mentors and helpful friends who accompany us in our childhood. Most of the clips are deep in our memories."
"These cartoons are alive in your eyes. In our opinion, it is the same, and if we want them to not always exist in the memory and be active on the screen, the only way is to work together and jointly develop... This is the best way for them, rather than being refrigerated in the honor room. Only in the museum can we remember their past glory."
Su Yi's words are sonorous and powerful.
After working in the system for a year, I was not nervous at all when I faced Director Wang when I first graduated, let alone the director of the American Film Institute.
And these words come from the heart, affirming the previous achievements and respecting the choice of Shang Meiying.
From the time I came in until now, I have never mentioned the superior documents.
I was also anxious, so I used my identity as the director of CCTV Children's Channel and the authority of the State Film Bureau to do this.
If the identity is complex and special, there will probably be no other person.
The General Administration and CCTV asked Su Yi to come and talk, which was the most suitable candidate.
Let Shangying simply cannot refuse.
Director Jin’s inner defense line has been opened bit by bit.
If it were anyone else, these touching words would be nothing but empty words.
But Su Yi is really possible!
How hot is that rabbit now?
To be honest, they are jealous.
Because once upon a time, their animated characters also had such an effect!
Even beyond.
"Director Jin, I know that if you really do this, you will feel guilty, as if you have protected the factory directors for so many times and successfully completed their missions, but in your hands... They were 'sold'. In fact, if they were to shine again, this would be the ultimate 'mission'."
Liu Shishi's eyes opened wide.
Su Yi’s words are very touching.
The opponent's emotional attack was originally counter-attacked.
Director Jin clenched his fists, seemingly engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
In the end his eyes became much friendlier.
"Actually, I should be happy that you can have such emotions. I just feel that I am a sinner and did not hold on to this three-quarter acre of land. But now it suddenly dawns on me."
Director Jin is not Mao The little guy, after being persuaded for a few words, was moved to tears and agreed.
If the other party is a private company, let alone 10 million, they won’t sell it even for 100 million!
But Su Yi represents not only individuals, but also CCTV Children's Channel.
And there are also documents from the leaders above. In fact, it will be a matter of time.
It's just that in the final struggle, we still have to see the other party's attitude.
Now that I see Su Yi’s sincere attitude, I naturally agree with him.
“I have feelings for these classic characters, otherwise I wouldn’t be here today. However, I will respect the opinions of Shangying and the ideas of Shangmeiying.”
Su Yi smiled and reached out his hand.
This represents cooperation.
Director Jin stretched out his hand and held it tightly.
“Sincere cooperation, reappear the glory!”
This copyright issue is always a headache. For example, Calabash Baby was created by Mr. Hu, but the creative environment is in Meiying.
In that special era, no one thought about copyright issues.
So no matter how you calculate it, it is all confusing.
this cooperation.
This means that Su Yi is qualified to develop and use the naming rights of Calabash Baby.
At the same time, I also have the right to be on American Film.
Develop together!
“Papa!”
There was a round of applause.
"Sorry, I came uninvited. Director Su Yi. I am Wang Jian of Shanghai Film Group. What I just said touched me very much - but this time... I still have something I want to cooperate with you on. . Please agree."
Su Yi looked at Chairman Wang of SIPG with some curiosity in his heart.
Although he is slightly inferior, he is still a character who can arm-wrestle with China Film Group!
China Film, Shanghai Film, Bayi Film Factory!
Su Yi didn't expect that the other party would come in person.
"You said."
Su Yi knew that in addition to copyright fees, there were other conditions.
“We also want to invest in movies about overseas wars!”
Invest?
Not to mention Su Yi, Liu Shishi was very shocked when he heard this.
Originally, there were two departments investing.
Now Shanghai Film Group also wants to participate?
Please vote, everyone. After the recommendation, there are really few subscriptions. The quality is only 500 less, but it is so far away that it may be hopeless
