Chapter 169

: Poaching

Wang Cheng, the boss of Shenyi Animation Company, felt helpless when he saw the resignation letter on his desk, but his face was full of concern: "Xiao Zhang, the company has been very kind to you in the past few years. It has only been three years, and you have already

I have become the project director. I originally planned to leave the third season of "Super Mini Warriors" to you to complete. You went to DreamWorks. Will they let you be the animation director or let you be responsible for a project alone? These days

Wouldn’t the New Year be in vain?”

Zhang Wenbin still looked firm in response to the boss's persuasion: "Mr. Wang, I thank the company for cultivating me in the past few years, but I don't want to make animations like this anymore. No matter how successful I am, I still feel no sense of accomplishment, and Mo

The sincerity shown was very good, and I saw the animation project I wanted to make in them."

Wang Cheng's face darkened, and he suppressed the displeasure in his heart: "You are a talent that I value, and I also hope that you will have good development in the future, but I still want to remind you that DreamWorks is a mixed bag in the film industry.

Although he was in trouble, he was still an amateur in the end, and it was not impossible that he ended up in a mess. Tianhe Animation, which he acquired, is a living example.

The current status of our domestic animation industry and animation market cannot be changed in an instant, nor can the market be created by just throwing money at it."

Zhang Wenbin rolled his eyes at the boss's heartfelt persuasion and reminder. When DreamWorks announced the establishment of three first-level animation projects, who posted on WeChat that the spring of Chinese animation is coming?

Who asked everyone to be patient when faced with employees' demands for salary increases, saying that animation will be the next hot trend after the film and television industry, and when investment is brought in, everyone's good days are still to come.

"Mr. Wang, I didn't make this decision impulsively. I made it after careful consideration. Even if the final outcome is the same as Tianhe Animation, as long as I can participate in it and produce truly excellent animation works, I think it is worth it." Zhang Wenbin still said.

Unmoved.

Of course, these words may sound a little careless, but Zhang Wenbin is not a saint who does not eat fireworks. Although he is already a project director at Shenyi Animation, Mo Kai’s conditions are higher. Instead of a higher position, his position is lowered.

It's a higher salary.

Even though he is already the project director, his monthly salary is less than 8,000. As for the so-called animators, their monthly salary is only 3,000. Therefore, most of the animators that 2D animation can recruit are college graduates.

Not only does Mo have a higher salary, but he also has a resume of participating in these high-level animation productions. Even if he encounters the ending of Tianhe Animation, he will not worry about finding a job.

Maybe they are still doing an exclusive interview with Chen Jingxing here, but Chen Jingxing's article has been roughly published over there.

However, Time magazine's interviews are different from many other magazines. To put it bluntly, the form is greater than the content.

Coincidentally, the storm that DreamWorks set off in the animation circle has affected many animation companies, and even many game companies.

The person interviews released by Time Magazine are usually not conversational, but are basically the weekly editor's evaluation of the person or a description of the reported person's actions from a third-person perspective.

This is the important reason why Mo Neng is poaching people in the animation industry. Of course, feelings and ideals are not unimportant.

The first two are Guoshi and Li An.

Seeing the helpless Zhang Wenbin, Wang Cheng could only smile bitterly in his heart. Unexpectedly, he would become a victim of DreamWorks before the catfish attracted hot money into the industry.

He knew that although the young man in front of him was the first to be poached, he might not be the last.

Of course, this is not due to his film art level. It is simply because his two films released in the North American market this year have grossed hundreds of millions of dollars in box office. As a foreign director, such results are quite astonishing. It can even be said that Hollywood has already

I haven't seen such a character for a long time.

When DreamWorks announced the project of "Gravity", it did not announce the name of the movie. At that time, it was mainly marketing the 1 billion movie to attract public attention.

This cannot be blamed on the narrow imagination of netizens. The last hard science fiction film about space produced by Hollywood was "Apollo 13" filmed in 1995 - it is more appropriate to say that it is a documentary film. In the past 20 years, it has been able to

The only Hollywood space science fiction films that have impressed global audiences are "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" that have maintained strong appeal despite the torrent of comic book adaptations. They are both very "old" IPs.

After lighting the last fire in 2014, Chen Jingxing welcomed uninvited guests from across the ocean - the interview team of Time Magazine.

Therefore, Chen Jingxing did not spend much energy and time on the interview with Time Magazine. However, after communication between DreamWorks and the interview team, Time Magazine agreed to include the new movie "Gravity" he is producing in the interview article with Chen Jingxing.

, about two or three sentences.

Because Mo will not only do 2D animation in the future, but also 3D animation. In fact, the number of 3D animation talents in China far exceeds that of 2D animators. There is a huge talent reserve in the special effects industry and the game industry.

Chen Jingxing will become the third Chinese director to appear on the cover of Time magazine's US edition.

It's not the Asian version published on Hong Kong Island, but the American version.

As Chen Jingxing, who was once evaluated by North American mainstream media as "the biggest discovery in the world of cinema in 2014", he naturally received the attention of the American version of Time Magazine.

And the specific theme has not been revealed. Everyone just thinks it is a special effects blockbuster related to the universe and space - the first thing many people think of is a space opera similar to "Star Wars".

Now that he has encountered such a good opportunity as Time Magazine, Chen Jingxing will certainly not let it go and reveal the name and general theme of "Gravity" - a near-future hard science fiction space disaster film through Time Magazine.

Although few people in China read Time magazine, let alone the American version, the Chinese media will definitely be very concerned about being on the cover of Time magazine and being interviewed, and it can also be used to convert exports into domestic sales in disguise.

After dealing with the interview from Time Magazine, Chen Jingxing fell into a busier work. Not only did he have to care about Mo's animation talent recruitment, team reorganization and the launch of the "Star God" project, he also had to continue to follow up on the development of "Gravity".

In addition to special effects preparation work, Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown" and Guo Fan's "Operation Mekong" will also be launched one after another.

Chen Sicheng has finally assembled a crew that satisfies him, and the special training for several actors on the Mekong River side has also come to an end. Whether as the main investor of "Detective Chinatown" or the producer of "Operation Mekong", Chen Jingxing must attend

The opening ceremony, and also staying with the Mekong River crew for a while.
