Entertainment tycoon since 83

"I know what you are worried about." Huang Ze glanced at Chris and decided to give him a reassurance.

"Don't worry, I have money and I am sincere in making animations."

“I will make at least three animated films!”

“Unless all three movies lose money, I won’t give up.”

As for whether all three movies will lose money...

I have chosen cartoons that have proven themselves in history, so the probability of losing money is not high.

If all three films lose money, it can only mean one thing: their Star Ocean is not good, or the distribution company is not good, or the film was released in the wrong era.

All in all, it has nothing to do with me, Huang!
"By the way, Boss, most of the people have gone to Shanghai, so what about the people in Hong Kong Island?" Chris asked, "Should we just move them all to Shanghai? If we separate the two places, it will affect the project."

“Start a new project!”

"Oh." Chris wanted to say that he didn't have a second script, but when he remembered that the script of "Lilo & Stitch" was written by Huang Ze, and looked at Huang Ze's confident look, he knew that the boss had made a plan, so he asked curiously, "Boss, do you have a script?"

"It's still in my mind." Huang Ze pointed to his head, and then changed the subject, "Don't worry, let me ask you, do you know 3D animation?"

"Yes!" Chris nodded. "Although there haven't been any 3D animated feature films yet, there will be one soon. I heard that the founder of Apple opened a studio called Pixar after being kicked out. They are currently working on a 3D animation called, yes, Toy Story."

"So what do you think about the future of 3D animation?" Huang Ze asked again.

"It's hard to tell for now. Some people think that hand-drawn animation is the real animation, but I think its prospects are promising!" Chris said, "You can see from the special effects in the movies that computer technology is obviously becoming more and more powerful. If the current development trend continues and computer performance gets better and better, the pictures will be even more beautiful."

"But human hands have their limits, and I think it's hard to compete with hand-drawn animation."

"What a coincidence, that's what I thought too." Huang Ze laughed.

"So, find a way to recruit more people from Hong Kong Island, and we can make a 3D animated film."

"It requires equipment, which is expensive! I might have to go to Pixar to buy it."

"I know, then go buy it, I'll be responsible for the outstanding check."

"If you are short of people, then go and recruit them."

“In short, this project should be put together within three months, and after half a year, I want to see a five-minute 3D animation short film.”

"I will provide you with the content."

"No problem!" The more work he does, the more he earns. Anyway, he doesn't have to draw "Mulan" himself. He just needs to make the image of the main characters and be responsible for the overall work. Chris has no objection to immersing himself in a completely new field of animation.

"it is good!"

Huang Ze stood up and shook hands with Chris.

"I am very optimistic about 3D animated films. Go for it boldly, it is the future!"

Others may not know, but Huang Ze knows!
"Toy Story" introduced the entire animation film community to what 3D animation is. Then, Pixar used computers to create one excellent work after another, which also pushed hand-drawn animation into the corner.

Since then, it has even become difficult to see any non-3D animated films in theaters.

Hand-drawn animation reached its peak in 94 with "The Lion King", but it met its nemesis in 95 and began to decline rapidly.

Pixar did not expect 3D animation to be so popular, so after Toy Story, it took them three years to release their second animated feature film, A Bug's Life, in November 98.

If I could have inserted another 3D animation in these three years, I can’t even imagine it!

With a smile on his face, Huang Ze left the office and went to watch "The Lion King" with his wife and children before leaving Xinghai Animation.

"How is his script?" Gong Xing asked in the car. "The story is OK. Actually, animated films don't have much to do with the story. It's OK if it's simple enough to understand, easy for elementary school students to understand, and family-friendly. I didn't expect this guy to learn to adapt to local customs."

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go back to drawing animation."

"Didn't Chris write the script?" Gong Xing was a little puzzled. "He wrote the script, and you draw the characters?"

"The other movie I mentioned is a 3D animated movie I'm going to make."

"3D."

"By the end of this year, or next year at the latest, I'll take you to watch a movie produced by an American company and you'll understand what's going on."

……

After returning home, Huang Ze sat back in his seat, his mind working rapidly. While turning the pen, he was thinking about what to make in this 3D animation.

First of all, it must be a series.

"Is it Ice Age or Despicable Me?"

After thinking about it, Huang Ze finally decided to go with the box office.

"Finding Nemo".

It ranked second on the North American box office list in 03, with a box office of just under 8.67 million US dollars, and a global box office of 3 million US dollars, also ranking second in the global box office ranking that year, losing to the final chapter of the fantasy masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King".

"It's him!"

Huang Ze immediately picked up a pen and started drawing. He first drew two clownfish, and then began to write the script of "Finding Nemo".

The main storyline is also very simple. It is about the rebellious period. A little clownfish was caught because he was disobedient. His father, the big clownfish, tried every possible means and finally found the child, bringing a happy ending.

During this time, we also encountered a female yellowtail surgeonfish named Dolly.

The story is not complicated, and Huang Ze wrote it in five days.

But for animation, there are many things that cannot be understood just by reading the script, so Huang Ze spent a few days drawing some simple sketches, just to add a few illustrations to the script.

After finishing all this and doing the copyright certification, Huang Ze took the things to Xinghai Animation and handed them to Chris and others.

“This is the new 3D animated film I’m going to have you make.”

“I’m going to call it Finding Nemo.”

"Everyone can take a look at the script first! You can read it right here!"

Huang Ze waved his hand and asked his assistant to distribute several copies of the script to several senior executives of Xinghai Animation's content creation department.

More than an hour later.

These people finally finished reading the script.

Chris was the first to give his evaluation, "This is a very complete script. I can't even find much that can be modified."

"Haha." Huang Ze smiled secretly.

Isn't that nonsense?
I copied the original film, so there is definitely not much room for modification!
"But I think our painter may need to go to the bottom of the sea to get materials."

"The Great Barrier Reef of Australia." Huang Ze directly mentioned the place where the original film was taken. "It's like going to Hawaii. Everyone can go diving in the Great Barrier Reef and enjoy the beautiful scenery."

"In short, our animated film must be beautiful enough!" (End of this chapter)
