China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 160 Zhang Runhua

"Tomorrow we will go to Shenzhen Z. There is a company over there. Let's go and see if there is any value for acquisition."

At the beginning of March, Yu Yang, who had just switched to Youhua Entertainment, received his first job.

He previously held a management position at Sohu. After experiencing last year's Olympic Games, he thoroughly felt the enthusiasm of the people across the country and understood some of the reasons behind it.

With the growing national strength and the improvement of the material living standards of ordinary people, their demand for spiritual culture is also growing.

Therefore, the entertainment industry is destined to be one of the outlets for rapid development in the future.

So after careful investigation, Yu Yang gave up his job at a major Internet company and chose to switch to Youhua Entertainment.

What he didn't expect was that He Hua directly appointed him as the general manager of the newly established animation company, responsible for all affairs of the new company.

In fact, He Hua has no choice. There are too few people who understand technology and have team management experience. After finally recruiting one, they must be reused.

After the two got off the plane the next day, they went straight to the goal of this time——Flying Magic Force

"The animation industry is too difficult to do."

After saying this, Zhang Runhua waved his hand to express his embarrassment.

"It's okay, we understand."

He Hua didn't care at all. In fact, he found someone to do research years ago, and some time ago, he also saw the plight of many domestic animation and 3G production practitioners at this stage.

This group of people is really generating electricity for love now. Five or six people are crowded in a small rental house, working hard in front of the computer, and they are not for making money, but simply like and want to make something that belongs to us. own animation.

He Hua asked them what they do for a living, and they said that if they had no money, they would take some OEM jobs, and they would continue working if they earned money.

When it comes to the future, it is also a state of confusion.

This made He Hua a little silent.

In fact, this group of people is very talented, they can draw, they have the skills, they can obviously make games, and they can obviously accept commercials, but no, they insist on doing this.

In comparison, Zhang Runhua's company is not bad, at least she can basically support her own team.

It's just that she couldn't bear it any longer, because:

"I really can't see the development model of CG animation movies."

In fact, in the years after "Lotus Lantern", the domestic animation film industry has fallen into a long ice age, and there has never been a commercially successful work.

Of course, this is also the reason why He Hua took Huang Lan to Shenzhen to meet her.

The 34-year-old Zhang Runhua has a slightly ordinary appearance and is dressed in a black professional attire. From the words and deeds when she took He Hua and the two to visit the company just now, it can be seen that she is a vigorous and strong woman.

This is also true of her resume. Born in 75, she graduated from a junior college and was assigned to work in a state-owned enterprise. However, she despised such a step-by-step "iron rice bowl" work, and resolutely went south to Shenzhen, which was the forefront of reform and opening up at that time.

In this city full of opportunities and vitality, she encountered animated films.

After 10 months of training, Zhang Runhua initially mastered animation production skills, and later she worked in Universal Digital and BJ Wanfang Xingxing Digital Company.

Global Digital is the producer of the first full-CG movie "Mobius Ring" in China mentioned earlier.

This also accumulated experience for her later founding of the current Flying Demon Force.

After visiting and learning about the Flying Demon Force, several people sat down and talked again.

He Hua put forward some ideas of his own:
"Have you ever thought about imitating Hollywood animation first, cultivating some talents, and then exploring the possibility of domestic animation?"

"I thought about it and tried it, but later found that this is not something that our company can do at all. Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, and Ghibli have strong funds, and the number of employees for a project is dozens or hundreds of times that of ours. ,I"

Zhang Runhua couldn't go on talking after talking, so he picked up the coffee in front of him and drank it.

Yu Yang and He Hua looked at each other, then said after deliberation:
"How far do you think the domestic animation special effects are compared with Hollywood? I mean last year's "Kung Fu Panda."

"About three to fifty years?" Zhang Runhua first smiled wryly, then shook his head and sighed, "I don't know, but now I'm basically doing it with my head down, and I don't dare to look up, for fear that I won't even have the last bit of energy."

Seeing her solemn expression, He Hua changed the topic to a lighter one:
"What are you going to do if you sell the company?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I will take a break for a while."

"Do you want to come here with the company? We are looking for talents here. When Director Tian introduced you to me before, it was a boastful meal."

Zhang Runhua smiled and said modestly: "What am I, you and Xiaopeng are the ones who do great things, and I am at best your little soldier."

"Then I have never seen any small soldier make such a big battle."

The two were talking about Tian Xiaopeng.

This time when He Hua came over, it was Tian Xiaopeng who set the line for the two of them.

After deciding to make his own animation, He Hua watched all the existing animation movies in the player.

At the same time, I also wrote down those famous animation talents in the future, such as the director of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", Tian Xiaopeng, the director of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Returns" and "Deep Sea", and the production team of "White Snake: Origin". , "Big Fish and Begonia" Liang Xuan and Zhang Chun and so on.

Pretending to be Chinese New Year, He Hua was looking for headhunters to help find management talents, while focusing on these people, trying to poach them.

It's just that only one and a half were dug up in the end.

The thing is like this, the first thing He Hua found were Liang Xuan and Zhang Chun, the directors of "Big Fish and Begonia", but at this time they had already established Biantian and received millions of investment, so they directly refused over him.

The same is true for Tian Xiaopeng, who has long established his own studio, October Digital Animation, and has been constantly invited to the project, and he politely rejected He Hua.

However, the above two groups of people have left He Hua's contact information. After all, in this industry, you may be out of business one day, and you may have to ask He Hua for help.

So this one semi-naturally refers to the remaining two.

First of all, half refers to the two directors of "White Snake: Origin". He Hua only found Huang Jiakang, but not Zhao Ji, so it counts as half.

Finally, there are dumplings that He Hua values ​​most.

In fact, Jiaozi was reluctant to come here at first, but when He Hua came up with two project ideas and future plans, he agreed after thinking for a while.

After all, it is difficult for these pioneers to resist these concepts of domestic animation film industrialization.

After chatting for a while, He Hua spoke frankly about the acquisition:

"The turnover rate in this industry is too high, and I don't know much about your company's core technology, so we will find a professional to evaluate it."

"Of course, you can also think about what I just said during this time. I'm not joking. I sincerely hope that you can join our team."

"We are serious about animation."
