The Strongest Animator [Rebirth]

"I still think it's a bit too hasty to acquire an animation company now." After thinking for a moment, Fang Lian shook his head: "So far, we don't have enough experience in pure animation production, let alone manage an animation company. Brand new company."

Shepherd star nodded secretly.

Shepherd Xing is not frustrated about his decision being rejected by his friends, on the contrary, he is even very relieved-whether it is to acquire or manage a company, it is not a trivial matter. He will be disappointed instead.

Today, Huaying Animation has just started. With the company’s step-by-step development, Huaying Animation will inevitably grow bigger and more employees in the company. It is impossible for the decision-making of all aspects to be limited to Musuxing Think and decide alone.

In the blueprint of Shepherd Star, Fang Lian and Wen Feihang will be the future high-level executives of Huaying Animation. Compared with the two of them unconditionally trusting and obeying themselves, he hopes that they can trust him while retaining their own opinions And decision-making, after all, even if the Shepherd Star has nearly 20 years of work experience, it is inevitable that there will be things that cannot be taken into account.

"I have also considered what you said." Shepherd Xing smiled.

If it was me in the previous life, I would probably worry about this issue too. After all, animation production and company management are two different things, but he has experienced these things in his previous life, not to mention how good he is in company management. No problem.

But these obviously couldn't be explained to Wen Feihang and Fang Lian.

Mu Suxing thought for a while, and then continued: "In terms of company management, I have learned a little from my family before. It is not a problem to deal with it in a short period of time. The specific situation will wait until we finish "IS" Besides, the company will conduct another serious large-scale recruitment at that time, and try to recruit some professional talents to deal with this problem.”

"At this stage, our goal is to complete the production of "IS" as soon as possible."

This is of course an excuse. In the past, he devoted himself to animation production and was indifferent to the family industry. The shepherd father and mother wanted him to learn how to manage the company so that he could take over Tengkong Entertainment in the future. If you don't have the slightest interest in game production, you just let it go.

Excuses are excuses, but it is obviously enough to convince Wen Feihang and Fang Lian.

Sure enough, when Mu Su Xing said that he had learned a little from his family, the two immediately felt relieved. They also knew about the situation in Mu Su Xing's family. It would not be surprising if they said that their parents had taught them a little.

"Although it is on the verge of bankruptcy, the overall framework of Rose Company is still intact," Shepherd Xing said, "According to my investigation, the current total assets of Rose Company are 1000 million. It takes."

2000……

Even though he knew early on that Mu Su Xing was not short of money, but now that he didn't even think about it, he took out 2000 million and said that he wanted to acquire a company. The two of them were still taken aback. A worried look came.

Shepherd Xing knew what they were worried about, and he didn't intend to hide the two of them, so he said bluntly at the moment: "You guessed it right, the 2000 million credits for the acquisition of Rose Animation, plus the production funds of "IS", I don’t have much money left on my hands.”

No matter how much money they have, they really have to talk to Qin Sheng—this is something Mu Su Xing doesn't want to see.

When he said this, his tone was relaxed, and he looked unstressed, but Wen Feihang and Fang Lian obviously thought too much—Wen Feihang thought for a while, and said: "I still have more than 4 deposits in my hand , if you don’t mind, take it.”

Fang Lian also thought of something with him, and he calculated in his mind, adding the borrowed money, the funds he could raise in total, he also thought about it: "I should be able to come up with [-] yuan, although it is not much, but I can't go there. Talking is better than nothing."

Mu Suxing knew in his heart that tens of thousands of credit points might not seem like much, but for the two students, Wen Feihang and Fang Lian, it was already the ultimate achievement.

He felt warm in his heart, but said with a broken smile on his face: "Where are you thinking? When I say no funds, I mean that there is no funds for the next animation. There are still basic mobile funds."

Mu Su Xing is not worried about funding issues. As long as "IS" can achieve certain results, the production funds for the next animation will naturally be available.For this work, he has enough confidence.

"If you really want to help me, then make "IS" together with me, and pray that the animation will be a big hit," Shepherd Xing said jokingly: "If "IS" hits the market, in a short time, we will draw I am afraid that the film studio will really not be able to afford the money to make the next animation."

Apart from doing a good job of "IS", he has no other way out.

He didn't say this directly, but Wen Feihang and Fang Lian obviously understood what he meant. The two took a deep breath. Although they didn't say anything anymore, it could be seen from their eyes that the two were completely serious. up.

……

As an out-and-out rich second generation, the location Mu Xingxue chose for Rose Animation Company is also extremely wealthy—Mu’s family started as a real estate company, so naturally there is no shortage of good locations. Because of this, the location of Rose Animation Company Excellent, it is the most prosperous center of Xingning City.

As the three got out of the taxi, a white and brown five-story office building also appeared in front of them.

The surrounding greenery is very good, the sides of the building are full of plane trees, and outside the gate is a rectangular flowerbed full of flowers. There is a subtle fragrance floating in the air, which keeps the dust on the road away invisible.

Mu Suxing raised his head slightly and looked up, not surprisingly, he saw the four gold characters of "Rose Animation" on the third floor.

The three walked in along the path between the two sides of the flower bed, and the transparent automatic sensor door opened silently. The young woman in front of the counter adjusted her glasses, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was only for a moment, and soon she seemed to restrain herself. Seeing the strangeness on his face, he said hesitantly: "Hello, is this Mr. Musu Xingmu?"

No wonder she was surprised—my boss mentioned that someone who planned to buy Rose Animation would come to check on the venue, but the three young people in front of me looked like they were in their early 20s, so they were...too young ?

Shepherd star nodded: "I am, is Mr. Mu there? I want to talk to him about the acquisition."

After a brief surprise, the young woman quickly proved her professionalism with words and deeds: "Hello, Mr. Mu, welcome to Rose Animation. Our boss has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me."

While talking, the young woman put down the things in her hands, and led the three of them to the elevator not far away. There are two elevators, one is an ordinary elevator, from the basement floor to the fifth floor, and the other elevator is the young woman at this moment. This is the one that brought them in. There is only one button on the fifth floor in the entire elevator room. Shepherd Xing guessed that this is probably a special elevator that leads directly to the president's office.

In fact it is.

Less than ten seconds later, the elevator door slowly opened.

There is a dark brown wooden floor under your feet. The corridor is not too big or too small. On the outer side is a half-open glass window. There are also flower pots in twos and threes on the window sill. Sunlight slips in from the window, and golden irises are painted on the wall. Bright light and shadows are left on the wallpaper.

The doors of the three rooms connected to the corridor were all open. Shepherd Xing didn’t intend to look left and right, but the young woman leading the three of them took the initiative to introduce: “The fifth floor is all the boss’s private space, from the side near the elevator At the end of the corridor, there are offices, reception rooms, private lounges and private cinemas."

After briefly introducing the situation on the fifth floor, she stopped in front of one of the rooms first, reached out and knocked on the door: "Boss, Mr. Mu is here."

After the word "Come in" came from the room, she pushed open the door and made a gesture of invitation——

The whole room is luxuriously decorated, the floor is covered with fluffy and soft Persian carpets, two elegant leather sofas are placed on the side near the door, and what is displayed in the huge cabinet is not books, but bottles of expensive famous wine.

The owner of the office is lazily leaning on the single sofa at the moment. He was originally on his side, as if he was talking to the people around him. Now he saw the three of the Shepherd Star coming in, so he sat down firmly. He turned his body and looked at the three of them.

Mu Suxing first noticed Mu Xingxue himself, but before he could speak, Wen Feihang on the side first expressed the surprise in his heart: "...Professor Li?"

As for the middle-aged man sitting next to Mu Xingxue at this moment, who is it if it's not Professor Li?

Mu Xingxue raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "You know each other?"

Professor Li obviously had a certain impression of the student who lent the studio to him at the beginning, his eyes turned around the three of Mu Suxing, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You want to buy Rose Animation? "

Shepherd star: "It's me."

"The director of The Little Prince?"

"it's me."

Professor Li raised his eyebrows, as if recalling something, he said with great interest: "Where is the one that Ji Xinrong said that the animation script was written so nonsense?"

As one of Ji Xinrong's best friends in the industry, Li Lianggong is very clear about his old friend's temper. Since Ji Xinrong first entered the animation production industry, he has believed in artistic animation, and he has a deep understanding of the so-called commercial animation. Animation sucks.

Having said that, Mu Su Xing is the first one who can make Ji Xinrong turn black immediately after reading the script.

When this topic was brought up again, Shepherd Xing was not angry either. He smiled and did not evade the question, and said frankly, "It's me too."

During the question and answer between the two, Mu Xingxue, Wen Feihang, and Fang Lian remained silent. The former was out of curiosity—Mu Xingxue thought he knew the consultant he had hired very well, and he could impress Professor Li. There are not many animators who are interested.Wen Feihang and Fang Lian were simply nervous.

If Ji Xinrong is No. 2 in the 1D animation film industry, Li Lianggong is more inclined to 3D game CG production. The CG production he participated in is completely comparable to blockbuster movies.The most important thing is that everyone knows that Ji Xinrong and their professor Li are friends, and at this moment, Professor Li just mentioned the matter of the two people breaking up at the beginning.

What does Professor Li want to do?

The two were uneasy about Professor Li's unreasonable play, but Professor Li asked in a discussing tone: "Can you show me the animation script?"

Fang Lian was stunned, subconsciously looked up at Mu Su Xing, saw Mu Su Xing nodded to him, he reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly said: "Of course, then let's go..."

He originally planned to let Professor Li go out together in the name of reading the script, and give Mu Suxing and Mu Xingxue the time and space for the negotiation. After all, it is about acquisition funds. Even acquaintances are not suitable to be inserted in the middle.

Professor Li obviously had the same idea. The two left the office together, and the young woman who was waiting outside took them to the reception room next door.

Suddenly there were only three people left in Nuo Da's room, Mu Suxing, Wen Feihang and Mu Xingxue.

Mu Xingxue looked at Mu Su Xing curiously.

Mu Suxing recalled the relevant information of his previous life, thinking about how to start the conversation, he cleared his throat, and was about to discuss the acquisition with the other party in a serious manner, when Mu Xingxue suddenly clapped his hands , said with high interest: "No wonder I thought your name was very familiar just now, I remembered it!"

Ok?

Mu Su Xing's heart moved slightly. In fact, considering the recent popularity of "The Little Prince" on the Internet, it is not surprising that the name "Mu Su Xing" has a certain popularity...

However, what Mu Suxing didn't expect was that Mu Xingxue stared at him for a while, but said happily: "You are Lao Qin's precious daughter-in-law hidden at home, right? I said I wanted to see you before." Yes, but Lao Qin, that cheapskate, is still refusing to live and die, now it's all over, I finally let me see myself!"

Shepherd Star: "...cough cough cough cough."

Wen Feihang immediately turned his head and looked out the window, watching his nose, nose and heart, pretending that he didn't hear anything.

Mu Xingxue mentioned this out of the blue, and was caught off guard, and Mu Su Xing almost choked on himself.

In a sense, what Mu Xingxue said is actually the truth, but when he mentions it now, and Wen Feihang is beside him, Mu Suxing just finds it strange to hear it, and feels more inexplicably guilty.

He coughed lightly, and finally decided to pretend that he didn't hear the other party's teasing words, and said solemnly on his face: "Mr. Mu, about the acquisition of Rose Animation..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mu Xingxue. The man crossed his legs leisurely, as if he didn't treat him as an outsider at all. If you want, then let’s round it up, 500 million, and Rose Animation is yours.”

Wen Feihang's eyes lit up.

It was the first time for the three of them to acquire the company. Facing the upcoming negotiations, it would be impossible for Wen Feihang to say that he was not nervous. He was worried about them as students all the way. , Will you suffer a big loss in this regard? I didn't expect the other party to open his mouth at this moment, as if he meant to sell at a lower price.

Is there such a good thing?

The Shepherd star sitting opposite him frowned.

In terms of market value, the price of 500 million is not a disadvantage to him, it is 500 million cheaper than the highest amount in his budget. In fact, the price given by professional appraisers is actually around 800 million. In other words , the price of 500 million is actually a loss for Mu Xing.

only……

Not accepting Mu Xingxue's good intentions, Mu Suxing said without hesitation: "Since he is a friend of Brother Sheng, of course it is not good to let Mr. Mu suffer, why not make up the whole, 2000 million."

Ugh?

Wen Feihang turned his head, and looked at Mu Su Xing in puzzlement and pain, completely incomprehensible that his roommate would make such a big concession in terms of funds, but Mu Su Xing was extremely insistent on this, and Mu Xingxue couldn't hold him back , So the negotiation that Wen Feihang thought would last all morning was settled within 10 minutes with an amount of 2000 million.

I have seen people haggling for a long time in order to bargain, but I have never seen someone like Shepherd Xing who simply didn't say anything and raised the price on his own initiative.

Seeing Mu Xingxue disappear from the end of the corridor - as the former boss of Rose Animation, he is going down to inform the staff about the change of ownership of Rose Animation.

Mu Suxing looked away, looked at Wen Feihang, who looked slightly depressed, and said suddenly: "Is it strange why I took the initiative to increase the amount?"

Wen Feihang nodded.

In his opinion, since the other party offered to reduce the amount, wouldn't that be a great thing?No shepherd star would take the initiative to push the discount out like this.

"Five million may seem like a lot, but it's actually not difficult to repay it," Mu Suxing shook his head silently: "In comparison, favors are the most difficult to repay."

It seems that Mu Xingxue is looking at Qin Sheng's face and intends to give them a discount, but in fact, it's okay if Mu Suxing doesn't accept it. Once he accepts it, it means that he owes Mu Xingxue the favor on Qin Sheng's behalf. No matter how much more than 500 million, it is still a fixed amount. The favor of the CEO of Tengkong Entertainment is something that has a real price but no market.

No matter what situation he and Qin Sheng are in now, in the eyes of outsiders, they are a fiancé relationship, and they are one body after all.

It's only 500 million. If he really made Qin Sheng owe the other party a favor for nothing, that would be a real blood loss.

As they talked, they followed out of the office. It happened that Fang Lian and Professor Li from the reception room next door also came out at this moment. Their eyes met, but Professor Li took the initiative to boast: "The script is very interesting. of."

Wen Feihang was a little flattered.

To blame can only be blamed on Professor Li's performance of being too harsh on weekdays, so that at this moment he casually praised Wen Feihang and Fang Lian. When Ji Xinrong scolded him mercilessly for the matter.

Shepherd Star is probably the only exception—he nodded calmly, and politely replied: "Thank you, Professor."

Soon, Fang Lian also quickly came to his senses. He smiled and said cheekily: "Since Professor Li thinks it's good, why don't you just come to our production team as a consultant?"

He had a lot of calculations in his mind: Lu Yue has Ji Xinrong over there, so let's bring Professor Li over, isn't it also very popular?One must know that Professor Li's reputation in the industry is not weaker than that of Ji Xinrong.

In fact, Fang Lian just said it cheekily. He was already mentally prepared to be rejected, and after he had figured out how to step down for himself, Professor Li unexpectedly said bluntly, "Okay." , I just don’t know if director Xiaomu agrees with you.”

What the fuck? !

Professor Li actually agreed?

Fang Lian was ready to talk about Professor Li even if he didn't talk about it. After all, Professor Li had a weird temper and was strict with students for a long time. Professor Li, who doesn't show color to anyone, agrees without hesitation?

The two of them looked at each other, feeling a little unbelievable to each other.

However, they soon discovered that they were happy too early——

"No need," Mu Suxing said, with a shy smile on his face, and he said in a friendly voice: "Thank you Professor Li for your kindness, but I still want to take this opportunity to exercise myself If you have the ability to be an independent director, you don’t need to bother to teach.”

His tone was gentle and could be said to be polite, but his intention to refuse was equally obvious.

Wen Feihang & Fang Lian: "???"

Wait, brother, big brother!do you know what you're talking aboutThis is Professor Li!How many people can't ask for the big bosses in the industry, and now they take the initiative to deliver it to your door, and you don't want it?

If it wasn't for the presence of Professor Li, Wen Feihang and Fang Lian would have knocked open their brother's head to see what was inside.

The two turned their gazes to Professor Li in horror, fearing that Mu Suxing would annoy an industry boss again after annoying Ji Xinrong, but Professor Li was just slightly taken aback, and then a clear smile appeared in his eyes. As if angry.

Seeing that Professor Li didn't mean to be angry, Wen Feihang and Fang Lian breathed a sigh of relief. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two couldn't pull Shepherd Xing aside to have a private chat, so they had to wink at him desperately.

Mu Su Xing calmly looked away, pretending not to see the obvious small movements of the two bastards.

Just like no film director likes investors to dictate, animation directors are the same in this regard, even more serious, especially Mu Su Xing himself is the kind of animation producer with a strong desire for control. After experiencing Professor Zhang After the accident with Ji Xinrong, Mu Suxing reconfirmed this point——

His production team didn't need any voice other than his when it came to making the final decisions.

Professor Li obviously understood what he meant, otherwise he wouldn't have said, "It depends on whether Director Xiaomu agrees with you." He was not angry when he was directly rejected, but continued to ask with a good temper: " What about investment? If you need it, I can invest 500 million yuan in production funds to your production team in my own name."

Shepherd Xing said: "I'm not bad..." He wanted to say that I was not short of money, but Wen Feihang, who had sensed that he was about to reject him, silently nudged him, facing his friend's fierce expression, Shepherd Xing twitched the corners of his mouth and had no choice but to swallow the words of refusal.

"That's fine," Mu Xing said, and Fang Lian and Wen Feihang just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him frowned, as if he was in pain, reluctantly said: "But I have one request: no interference The production team makes internal decisions, I have the final say on what to do with this animation, and you, the professor, cannot provide me with off-site assistance."

This sounds nice, but everyone understands the real meaning in it. In simple terms, it is: investment is fine, but it’s okay to dictate my animation, no!

Everyone: "…………"

Are you an investor or someone else is an investor? !Do you really know what you are talking about?

Rubbish director, this production team will take pills sooner or later!

Shepherd Xing didn't look at the expressions of the people at this moment, but knew what they were thinking.

In fact, Shepherd Xing himself is very helpless at the moment.

It wasn't that he was putting on airs, but that he had no choice. The reason why he gave up the high-quality comics in the system mall and turned to producing "IS" was that Mu Su Xing had one idea from the beginning to the end, and that was to collect money.

Just like what he mentioned to the two before coming here, after the acquisition of Rose Animation and the funds required for the production of "IS", he doesn't have much left in his hand.

Whether it is to acquire an animation company or establish an animation company by itself, the money required is not a small amount.

It's not that Mu Su Xing is unwilling to attract investment, but that the greater the proportion of his own independent investment, the higher the final share. Letting others invest is equivalent to giving up part of the "IS" share.If it is another animation production team, maybe they will be happy because of an extra investment, because it means that there is an extra party to share the risk, but Shepherd Star has a system, so there is no so-called risk at all, and investment is for him. In other words, it was basically tantamount to grabbing his share.

Mu Su Xing is still having a headache for the production of the next animation, so naturally he is unwilling.

Professor Li looked at Mu Su Xing speechlessly.

As a half-timer, he could tell what he was thinking just by looking at the expression of Shepherd Xing. He was so angry and funny at the moment: "It's almost enough for you to give me the 305 studio. What did you say when I didn't see you? Now you know how to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

This seems to be a little angry, but it actually reveals an intimacy that ordinary people don't have. The two of them know Li Yanwang's temperament. They have never seen Professor Li and any student get along like this without airs. Pass.

Shepherd Xing obviously understands this too. He just blinked his eyes and climbed up the pole with a smile: "The quality of this work is really mediocre. It's not that I don't want to spread it and tarnish your name." No. When I have a good idea next time, I will ask for your guidance."

Professor Li waved his hand, this little guy is very bad, he believes that he is a ghost - on the face he pretended to be impatient, and said in a bad mood: "Okay, you just took over Rose Animation, don't you still have a lot of things to do?" Arrangement? Hurry up and get out of here, I'm angry when I see you."

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Now that the sovereignty of Rose Animation has been transferred, he, a friend of the former boss, naturally has no reason to stay here for too long. When he walked to the elevator, Li Lianggong suddenly remembered something, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Although Mu Xingxue has no business. Animation brains, but people's vision is still good, if you want to do animation, you'd better think about how to keep these old employees. "

Shepherd star nodded, and responded obediently: "I will, thank you professor."

In fact, this is one of the reasons why he chose to acquire Rose Animation.

The workload of "IS" is completely different from that of "The Little Prince". He now has less than ten people left in the production team. To complete the production of "IS", what is needed are the experienced old employees of Rose Animation Company itself.

To bid farewell to Professor Li, Mu Suxing first went to the first to fourth floors below to gather the old employees of Rose Animation.

"Let's not talk nonsense. Starting today, Rose Animation will officially change its name to Huaying Animation. I will have someone replace the plaque on the office building in the next few days." Facing the employees with different expressions below, Shepherd Xing chose to get straight to the point:

"I believe you should also know from your boss that this company has changed hands. Let me introduce myself. I am the person in charge of Huaying Studio, and I will also be the boss of Huaying Animation Production Company in the future, Musuxing."
