I have a lot of achievements

Chapter 525 Team Building
What can an animated film do in half a month?
It can be as little as it is a lot!

A lot of the premise is that the funds, manpower, and resources are all in place, and there is a good helmsman to hold the direction.

For Xizi Films, there is no shortage of funds at all. Let alone how much money Penguin Animation Network, 8 Station and Shanhai Animation Studio have to spend. Just knowing that Xizi Pictures will start making animated films, various investors are very excited. There is an endless stream. If you are willing to take in all these investments in this half month, it will be more than the total funds of the cooperation projects reached by all parties in the Shanhai Animation Festival. To be conservative, it can exceed 3 million!
What is the concept of 3 million production fees?
In China in recent years, there are not many animated films with high box office and good reputation, even if the publicity and distribution fees are included, there are not many animation films that exceed [-] million.

The production cost of large-scale domestic animation films is basically maintained between 2000 million and 5000 million, and more than 3000 million accounts for a small proportion.

Go back a few years, and less!
The animation film crew is so poor that all practitioners are used to it.

Take "Big Fish" as an example, the reason why it took 12 years to really get on the big screen is not because the production cycle takes so long, but because most of the time is spent running around looking for Investment went up.

The most interesting and ironic thing is that "Big Fish" took 12 years to complete with 3000 million yuan, and then the investment came in. The money spent on film promotion and distribution far exceeded the production cost.

What does this mean?
It's not that Huaxia filmmakers or investors have no vision, but that they are so fucking poisonous, and they won't throw eagles if they don't see rabbits until the last step!
Why did you go early?
There is no need to spend money to buy risks and bet on whether you can make money. After all, there are many types of Chinese movies that make money.I'm not an animation fan, so I won't fight with your dreams at all.

Even if it is an animated film, it still invests in projects like bears and sheep that are sure to make money.

In comparison, foreign animation films, especially Hollywood ones, do well because they dare to spend hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in production costs.It is true that they have a more mature film industry and technology, but they did not have the guts to spend money at the beginning, and the film industry and technology will not be so good.

Of course, there are many, many reasons that lead to the quality of the movie.

However, if you have money, you can really solve a lot of things, especially for Huaxia animation films, if you have money, you can solve a lot of things.

For investors in the industry, Xizi Films is one of the biggest rabbits in the Chinese film market at present. Anyone who wants to spread a little bit of hawks can do it even if they have a little hair. There is a second time, maybe there are too many second times.

For investors, the most important thing about a movie is the box office.

Where did the box office come from?

One is brought by people with box office appeal, and the other is brought by word of mouth.

Word-of-mouth is inaccurate, but box office appeal can be accurate, otherwise there won’t be such quality rubbish but find actors or traffic with box office appeal to make a wave of money and leave.Don't think it's a small wave, it's quite high compared to the production cost.

There are too many components of box office appeal, such as traffic stars, such as feelings, such as filmmakers with good word-of-mouth movies, and so on.

Well, after some painful and embarrassing experiences, traffic stars are no longer able to deceive people, and the number of people who pay IQ taxes in movies is decreasing year by year.

But the latter two are still very popular. Feelings have always been a big IQ taxpayer, and good word-of-mouth filmmakers are a bit of a lottery. You really don’t know if the quality is good or bad if you don’t go to the cinema, or you don’t believe it at all. Movie ratings must be seen to be determined.

Xizi Films can be said to be a combination of traffic and good word of mouth. When the traffic reaches the traffic idol, it stands aside, and it has indeed produced good works-although it is not a movie, but the previous works have good reputation.

Not to mention anything else, after the film of Xizi Films is released, the company's announcement of "We all owe Tie Shen a movie ticket" can attract countless audiences.

What, Meng Fan has never made a movie before?

Isn't his game better than the movie?
There is nothing wrong with this corporate slogan!

So in the end, will all these investments that you send to your door be all?

Of course not both, but neither is bad.

One is that this industry is deep, even if the three companies have joined forces and some distribution giants have invested in the shares, they still cannot reject all the investment; the other is that the original intention of Meng Fan to set up a film company is not all to make money, and he is willing to share part of the profits Make the animation films produced by our company more smoothly produced, distributed, released and expand their influence.

In the end, almost [-] million investment was absorbed, which was injected into the production costs of the three animated films.

Of course, besides the requirement for investors to bring their own resources and platforms, the most important thing for absorbing investment is that you are only responsible for investing money and not interfering with other things. Also refuse.

However, even so, the speed of progress is still very slow, mainly because team building is too difficult, or it is too difficult to pull up a team that can match such investment, let alone three.

After the establishment of Xizi Pictures, both the subordinate studio and the brotherly strategic partner Shanhai Studio have recruited a lot of people. Now the subordinate studio, Xizi Animation Studio, has more than 200 members, including 150 technical members. , The staff of Shanhai Studio has also expanded to nearly 500 people, and counting other cooperative studios and outsourcing studios, the number of practitioners serving Xizi Films exceeds [-].

In the past half a month, most of the time has actually been spent on team building, and it can even be said that the main focus of the next few months will still be on this.

"Not urgent!"

Meng Fan also knew the difficulties involved, and said at the meeting with the person in charge: "Although you can do things according to your own pace, you can even slow down the pace appropriately, and you don't need to worry about other things. Coordinate. These three animations are important, but in my opinion, it is more important to polish a qualified team through these three animations.”

"In addition, there is one more thing I have to say. It was decided a long time ago. The animation project of my "Mountain and Sea Man" has been established in Neon. According to the contract, I can deploy a team to Neon to participate in the project. In the process of production, the first period will last about one to two months. Originally, this team was also determined to draw from Shanhai Animation Studio, and now it can give up part of the quota to Xizi Animation. Produced with Neon Top Animation It is an opportunity for the team to work together, and now the task of film production is relatively heavy, how to coordinate you to make a decision, and then give me a list. After two months of cooperation with Pixar, it is almost the same model.”

"In other words, team building is the most important thing, and we must grasp it well."
