At this moment, Wang Wei looked at the sunlight outside the window with a smug look, just like the name of the new company, Chasing Light.
However, to be honest, Wang Wei was really not good at telling stories.
The previous money-losing movies, Little Door God, Adventures of Ah Tang, and Cat and Peach Blossom Land, were all written and directed by him. The scenes were beautiful, but the content was empty. He had lost a lot of money.
In the end," White Snake: Origin ", which had a new director and screenwriter, was a success.
It was just that the release was too " touching " and the schedule was also pulled. Otherwise, the box office would not have been that small.
Although he had failed many times, Shen Fu still admired this entrepreneur who was younger than him. At least he was really putting his heart into making domestic animations.
Unfortunately, after ten years of doing it, there was only one movie, White Snake: Origin had left the circle.
If Shen Fu had written the script for " White Snake: Origin " in advance and kept it for himself, then Chasing Light and Wang Wei would probably be unable to recover.
Shen Fu did not do that. He understood his mission. It was not to rely on these films and television works to make money, but to form a good ecosystem for the domestic film and television industry and produce more high-quality works to rectify the reputation of the domestic film and television industry.
When it came to animated films, Ma Liang Animation was unrivaled in the country. At first, it was contracted out to Pixar and DreamWorks, but now it was working with Pixar to produce original animated films.
He was the best in the country, but he did not need to be the only one.
It was good to have Chasing Light to chase after each other and improve together.
Hence, Shen Fu asked," If you want to make a domestic animation, do you know about Ma Liang's animation?"”
" Of course I do." Wang Wei had obviously done his homework." This company was founded in 1999. It absorbed the talents of Shanghai Film Studio and Imagi Animation. It shot the first 3D animated blockbuster in China,'The Magic Brush,' and also collaborated with Pixar on 'Kung Fu Panda.' They sold the concept of combining Kung Fu and Panda to the whole world. This company is the target of Chasing Light Animation!”
Shen Fu smiled." This company is mine. I was the one who came up with the idea of Kung Fu Panda.”
"What?!" Wang Wei's mouth was wide open. He suddenly slapped his head." No wonder, no wonder the villain in Kung Fu Panda is called Lord Shen, and he's a handsome peacock!”
Shen Fu was speechless." I didn't give them that name. They deliberately slandered me.”
"Mr. Shen, are you telling me this to warn me that Chasing Light is no match for Ma Liang and that I should change my field?”Wang Wei suddenly said solemnly.
Shen Fu shook his head with a smile." Ma Liang Animation is not afraid of competitors. Benign competition is the normal market performance. I like animation too. I've been a part of the 'Toy Story' series before, but I hope that one day, I can dub a domestic animation masterpiece. I also want to dub an English version and sell it overseas!”
Wang Wei immediately smiled and said," If I shoot such a masterpiece and invite you, you can't refuse.”
"Of course, I have an idea here. I think everyone can work hard in this direction.”
"Oh?" Wang Wei got serious. Shen Fu was older than him and had entered the animation industry early. He had to take him seriously.
Shen Fu said," After the success of the Kung Fu Panda, I actually reflected on it. Although the Kung Fu is ours and the panda is ours, Ah Bao is not ours. You understand what I mean, right?”
"Are you saying that Ah 'Bao is not from Xia Country?"
"Correct! Although Ma Liang Animation also put in a lot of effort into this movie, the main character is actually a traditional American youth who is conveying the cultural values of the United States. I feel that this is a pity, so I'm determined to leave Pixar and DreamWorks behind and go it alone!”
Shen Fu said solemnly," Ma Liang Animation is about to launch a big project of traditional Chinese mythology. We want to dig out the ancient mythological characters that have gradually been forgotten by the younger generation. We want to re-create them and give them a new meaning of the era.
" Today's generation of young people prefer Iron Man, Batman, and The Joker. They regard them as spiritual idols. Although Nezha is still relatively well-known, it's just a name. Without the support of film and television works that keep up with the times, this popularity is actually very empty.
"So, I'm going to create a personal movie for these mythical heroes to counter the influence of the American comic book heroes. However, this plan is too big. At present, we're already prepared to find materials from Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods.
"However, China has a long history. There's more than just Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods. There's also the White Snake, the Eight Immortals, Kuafu, Hou Yi, A Chinese Ghost Story, and so on. Little Wang, I wonder if you're willing to join us in creating a movie universe of Chinese mythology.”
