Travel through time and become a tycoon in the entertainment industry

Lin Chao was not surprised that "Journey to the West" was included in the recommended reading list for students by the Ministry of Education.

After all, this book was originally one of China's four great classics, and its fans are not just limited to those now. In the previous life, this book was common knowledge among Chinese people.

From the elderly to the children who only know how to watch TV, who doesn’t know about monkeys?

Therefore, when Lin Chao learned the news, he was not surprised at all and focused on the post-production with Wen Tao.

The post-production of a TV series is a long process. Lin Chao and Wen Tao were working on the post-production of "The Meritorious Service" while also writing the theme song.

There are actually quite a few alternatives for theme songs in the genre of "Merits of Merit", but there are relatively few if they need to be both traffic-friendly and suitable for the situation.

Although the number is small, there are options, such as the May 4th edition of "Dislocated Time and Space".

However, this song has been used by Lin Chao before, so he can only change it to another one.

For example, the popular song "As You Wish" is very suitable for the TV series "Meritor".

Lin Chao doesn't plan to sing this song by himself, and he doesn't need to sing so many songs now.

He planned to let Zhou Wei and Zhang Hua sing this song together. Although Zhang Hua was old, he could still take care of Zhou Wei.

Lin Chao didn't get his wish, so he wrote the song and gave it to Liu Peiji, asking him to find time for Zhou Wei and Zhang Hua to record the song.

Not only Zhou Wei, but also the less popular Sun Yanuo can start releasing songs. Lin Chao wrote a song "Meet" for her in his spare time.

As a masterpiece of the unpopular queen, this song is still very popular, and it is really nice to listen to with that voice.

After arranging other things, Lin Chao was ready to work on the project again.

Huayi has not had a movie project released this year, so it seems not very suitable.

He has a good script, but he seems to be looking for someone to shoot it and there seems to be no schedule. Now everyone from Huayi is on the crew. It is impossible for Lin Chao to pull people out of the crew and then tell them that we will film it first. Movie.

However, this movie also has different shooting methods to choose from, including live-action shooting, and an animated movie is also a movie.

With the thought of making a big animated movie, Lin Chao couldn't stand it any longer.

The investment cost of this kind of movie is not high, but if it is well shot, it will earn a lot of money at the box office. No matter how you look at it, it will be worthwhile.

But which one to shoot?

There were many movies in the previous life that had good reputations and box office, but which one should you choose?

Lin Chao has ready-made templates and scripts here. Coupled with the world's super advanced technology, the production cycle of animated movies is much shorter.

He can make one first to test the water during the National Day period, and then release a big animated movie during the Spring Festival period. It is perfect.

Lin Chao made many choices and decided to film "Big Fish and Begonia".

After Lin Chao exchanged the script, he approached Wen Tao and planned to ask Wen Tao to pay more attention to the later stages of "Female Merit". He wanted to focus on "Big Fish and Begonia".

The next morning after redeeming the script, Lin Chao arrived at the company at the right time. As soon as he went to the film and television post-production area, he saw Wen Tao and Ryuzaki each holding a bowl of tofu and eating sesame seed cakes.

"It's so early for you two."

"Are you early? We are at work as usual, but you came quite early today." Wen Tao took a mouthful of tofu and looked at Lin Chao and said.

"There's something new, let me show it to you." Lin Chao said and handed over the script of "Big Fish and Begonia".

After Wen Tao heard this, he stopped eating breakfast and took the notebook and started reading.

"Big Fish and Begonia"? This name is quite unique.

Wen Tao sighed in his heart and looked down.

Why does this script look so wrong? cartoon?

"Is this an anime?" Wen Tao looked up at Lin Chao and asked.

"Well, the company doesn't have any movie projects this year. I plan to make a big animated movie, just this one, "Big Fish and Begonia". What do you think?"

"The script looks okay and the story is pretty good, but it's not common for animation to be made into movies. The quality of this thing has a lot to do with the production methods and modeling." Wen Tao said disapprovingly.

"Does the company lack a production team?" Lin Chao asked, looking at Wen Tao and Ryuzaki.

Huayi has no shortage of production teams. After Lin Chao took back the building, he hired a lot more people. Now Huayi has no shortage of people, let alone technology.

From this point of view, Lin Chao has the script and skills, but modeling will take some time. It seems that he can try the water.

After all, this script doesn't seem difficult to film, but what is Lin Chao going to do with the script given to him?

Is it possible that he still needs to nod?

"You can give it a try. You can afford to lose the money anyway. But why are you showing me the script? Do you want to film it for me?" Wen Tao asked.

"No, you two are watching the post-production while I take the photos. I have an idea of ​​what these characters look like, so I can make them faster."

"So you want to throw "Merit" to me?" Wen Tao looked at Lin Chao and said.

"No, I just want you to work harder if you are able. Anyway, you can almost do it in the later stage."

"Is that about the same? It's a lot different. We have to work together in the post-production of "The Meritorious Service"."

"I'm also filming "Big Fish and Begonia" which will be released during the National Day holiday. The time is very tight."

"No, the worst case scenario is that I will film "Big Fish and Begonia" with you, and you will leave it to me in the early stages of "The Meritorious Service." Don't even think about being lazy in the later stages."

After hearing this, Lin Chao thought for a while and realized that having Wen Tao working with him would indeed make things move faster. Anyway, the company does not lack a production team. When the time comes for both parties to start work together, the time will be much shorter.

Moreover, the scenes for the second season of "Tomb Raiders" are almost completed, and filming may start soon. "Big Fish and Begonia" should hurry up, otherwise it will be as busy as a spinning top when they collide.

"That's okay. Then I'll submit the project for approval first. You can go see which two teams in the company are free and let them read the script first."

Wen Tao looked at Lin Chao suspiciously, a little unsure as to why Lin Chao agreed so easily. This was not like his style.

But it seems that Lin Chao has nothing to trick him in this. Just make an anime movie and do it in post-production. What can he do?

After Lin Chao and Wen Tao finished talking, they went to prepare the information for reporting.

Lin Chao asked Yao An to prepare information with him while muttering in his heart.

If a big animated movie can work, then he has to consider finding more artists and animation producers.

Now that we have experienced people, the next step for expansion is to train new people.

For Huayi, reporting for project approval was very fast, and the project was approved within two days.

Lin Chao and Wen Tao selected the production team, told them their requirements and the general outline of the work, and then let the production team start working.
