Chapter 207 I am a Furui fan, we are all Furui fans

animated film.

Da Tiantian has seen quite a few.

Especially the Disney Princess series, she watched almost the entire series when she was a child and also fantasized about such a life.

Although the princesses in the animations may not necessarily live as well as she does.

In addition to Disney, there are DreamWorks, Warner Bros....

There are many excellent works.

But these are foreign companies.

And now, Zhou Mo told her that a team composed entirely of Chinese people was going to make an excellent animated film.

To be honest, Da Tiantian doesn’t really believe in the results of this investment.

Da Tiantian was embarrassed to doubt him directly in front of others, so she pulled Zhou Mo aside and expressed her thoughts: "Do you know this director Tian Xiaopeng? His team is not very famous. Don't let yourself be cheated again."

She knew that Zhou Mo was an animation fan.

And also supports him to invest in animated films.

But if you want to invest, at least find a famous film production team.

Zhou Mo explained with a smile: "Don't worry, you must have watched the 97 version of the animation Journey to the West when you were a child. Tian Xiaopeng was the production supervisor of this work, so don't worry."

Da Tiantian felt a little relieved.

But then another question was raised.

"But the 97 Journey to the West is a 2D animation, right? Didn't you say that The Return of the Great Sage is a 3D animation film? The foundation of domestic 3D animation films is too poor. If you really want to make 2D, I can help you find some inheritors of the Shanghai Film Studio..."

Zhou Mo was shocked.

Good guy.

She is indeed sweet.

There are so many connections.

Shanghai Film Studio.

What a distant name.

"Don't worry, it's no problem. Have you forgotten the special effects company I just bought some time ago? Otherwise, I wouldn't have invested in this project."

Da Tiantian suddenly realized.

"Oh, yes. You own a special effects company."

The two returned to their seats.

Tian Xiaopeng was a little nervous about Da Tiantian's actions just now, so when the two came back, he sat upright, looked focused, and said in a firm tone: "I know you two have doubts about this movie, but our team..."

This long paragraph is basically about the feasibility of "The Return of the Great Sage".

In fact, this is the procedure that should have been carried out from the beginning.

Party B makes empty promises to Party A.

Party A cooperates with Party B to deceive.

Zhou Mo casually flipped through the materials prepared by Tian Xiaopeng.

The project of "The Return of the Great Sage" actually started very early.

Tian Xiaopeng had conceived the characters and script of "The Return of the Great Sage" a long time ago, but due to the lack of technology and funds, the film has not started production yet.

Zhou Mo looked at the character design of the monkey in his hand.

It’s pretty much the same as I remembered.

A set of coarse linen clothes in normal form.

A set of armor and cloak that restores strength.

Read the script again.

It's basically the same as in the previous life.

By the time Zhou Mo had roughly read the script, Tian Xiaopeng's deception had also ended.

Zhou Mo casually said, "The script is of very good quality. Although it is relatively simple, it is exciting enough and the characters are vivid enough. Although there are some traces of reference, it is harmless. Let's shoot according to this script. I've invested."

Tian Xiaopeng heard this.

A warm feeling suddenly surged in my heart.

In the past few years when Tian Zhidao was looking for investment, many people had the same reaction after reading his scripts -

No.

As for the angles that don't work, there are also many different ones.

The script is so childish.

boring.

Only suitable for children.

Not profound enough.

No connotation.

Tian Xiaopeng had asked himself this question repeatedly in countless late nights.

Is my script really that bad?
Not at all?

Although Tian Xiaopeng did stick to his own ideas before, the disapproval from people around him still made him feel depressed.

Until now I met Zhou Mo.

I heard Zhou Mo’s comments on the script.

In just a dozen words, it really touched his heart.

"Director Zhou, you are right. I just want to shoot a simple story about the Monkey King punishing evil and promoting good... Is it true that being righteous and eliminating evil and protecting the good is not as good as so-called connotation and depth?

I do not think so.

I think no matter what kind of literary and artistic work it is, the most important thing is to mobilize emotions. As long as a work can fully mobilize the emotions of the audience, then this work must be successful. "

Under normal circumstances, describing your ideas to investors is also an introduction to your products.

Can deepen Party A's understanding of the product.

However, Tian Xiaopeng's excitement, trembling voice, and even the feeling that he would cry in the next second did not seem like he was selling anything.

But crying to others.

But Zhou Mo was not surprised at all. Instead, he smiled and nodded: "You are right. Whether it is a movie with deep connotation or simple and straightforward dialogue, as long as it can resonate with the audience, it is a good movie. Disney has so many princess movies, and the connotations are always the same. Is there anything special about them? But they can still conquer the world."

After hearing Zhou Mo's example, Tian Xiaopeng became even more excited.

He's determined.

From today on, Director Zhou is his soulmate.

"Director Zhou, don't worry. I will not let you down with this movie. From today on, even if I only sleep three hours a day, I will polish every detail of this movie to perfection..."

Zhou Mo politely said: "Three hours is too short. You must take care of your body anyway. Four hours, and sleeping a little longer can improve your efficiency..."

Da Tiantian listened to the conversation between the two.

I always feel that this scene is familiar.

Many times when Zhou Mo was negotiating a contract, he could speak to the other person's mind with just a few words, and then the other party would sign a rather outrageous contract without knowing it.

And you won't regret it at all afterwards.

On the contrary, they will talk about it with relish.

When Da Tiantian thought of this, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the conversation between the two people in front of her.

"The Chinese were the first to embrace Furui, while the foreigners were far behind."

"Yes, if you calculate carefully, you will know that human beast, bondage, imprisonment..."

Da Tiantian’s eyes widened.

What are these two talking about?
Didn't he know that she was still there?

How could he show off his XP so openly?

"cough!"

A cough interrupted their conversation.

Zhou Mo turned his head and said to Da Tiantian with bright eyes: "Tiantian, you agree with what I said just now, right?"

Da Tiantian: "Ah, ah? What..."

Zhou Mo said excitedly: "Of course it was Sun Wukong who captured the Seven Fairies in the Peach Garden. You must have been watching the monkey the whole time and didn't notice the Seven Fairies at all, right?"

Da Tiantian: ...

What did you think it was?

So this is it?

But if you think about it carefully, the 86 version of "Journey to the West" was truly filled with beauties. But when I watched it as a child, my attention was indeed on the monkey the whole time.

I didn't notice whether there were any beauties at all.

Da Tiantian thought of this.

I thought to myself, it’s bad.

I've become a fan of Furui too.

On the other side, Tian Xiaopeng asked the last question: "Director Zhou, you just said that some of my character settings have borrowed elements. This is true. Some people have discovered this problem before. So I am wondering whether I should slightly adjust the character image."

Zhou Mo did not have high requirements for this character.

Anyway, most people go to the movies to see monkeys.

He asked one more question just out of caution.

"It would be better if the characters could be more independent. Do you have any idea?"

Tian Xiaopeng shook his head, but his hands did not stop moving.

He picked up the paintbrush and painted on the paper while saying, "I don't have any ideas yet, but I have participated in an official academic exchange meeting before, where I met some colleagues. They gave me a lot of new suggestions for my character image, saying that this image borrowed from some ancient figure paintings..."

Having said that, stop writing.

Zhou Mo took the sketchbook and his face changed after seeing the figure on the paper clearly.

The appearance and style of the characters in the sketchbook have not changed.

It is still a slightly smaller Q version of Jiang Liuer.

Bald.

Coarse cloth clothes.

Carrying a backpack.

The only difference is that Jiang Liuer's originally round eyes were changed to be small and narrow, and the corners of his eyes were slanted upwards.

This image...isn't it the legendary "Tang Lion Boy"?

Now you crawl out and start cheating people?

Zhou Mo directly slapped the "Tang" in his hand into Tian Xiaopeng's hand and said, "What the hell, saying that a person is sick in this way is an insult to the patient."

When Tian Xiaopeng heard Zhou Mo's tone, he panicked.

"In fact, I think the original image is better."

Zhou Mo nodded.

He knew that artists more or less had some unique artistic talents.

Plus some rebellious heart.

The same is true for Tian Xiaopeng.

After his previous film "The Return of the Great Sage", this guy finally made a film called "Deep Sea" eight years later.

All I can say is that we have to be on guard against the world of literary youths.

He told Tian Xiaopeng directly: "I don't care about other things, but this kind of image is absolutely not allowed to appear in "The Return of the Great Sage". Otherwise, go find another investor yourself."

Tian Xiaopeng assured again and again that he would never deviate from the topic.

Only then did Zhou Mo sign the contract with the person.

Left Tian Xiaopeng's residence.

On the way, Da Tiantian didn't ask much about the image just now.

After all, she didn't like it either.

She looked through the news online and casually mentioned, "Come to think of it, a great master needs a celebration banquet, and this time it's not in the mainland, but in Xiangcheng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mo said, "It's just a pity for Xiao Sa. A sincere relationship is about to come to an end."

Da Tiantian: ???
