Chapter 105: Very satisfied
Louis is a white man in his forties, of Irish descent, who came to the United States four generations ago and has settled here, so he is a native American himself.
After graduating from a prestigious school, majoring in management, and once worked in an animation production agency in Los Angeles, Kim Hyun-tae established his own animation production studio, Louis was hired by Annie to Dave, and now he is the vice president of this small studio.
It can be said that when Kim Hyun-tae was not there, he was basically managing this studio.
It stands to reason that how could such a person give up a lucrative position and come to such a small company that has just been established and has no future in sight?
This does not exclude the existence of some factors in Annie, and at the same time, it also plays a role in the restless and adventurous factor of the American character.
Louis is not willing to settle for mediocrity, although he can already get an annual salary of almost 200,000 yuan, he feels that he should achieve more than settle for mediocrity.
It just so happened that Kim Hyun-tae's animation studio was established, and he was approached by a headhunting company, and after some contact, Louis finally came to Kim Hyun-tae's small studio.
His annual salary is much lower than before, but Kim Hyun Tae has given him another benefit, that is, whether the animation produced is on the big screen or on the small screen, he will be given some share.
Such a perk, which Louis had not been able to obtain before.
And it was precisely because of this that Louis broke away from the original company and came to the small company of Kim Hyun Tae.
More importantly, he values Kim Hyun-tae's identity as a 'writer' and his identity as the author of "William's Fairy Tales".
Louis is not a fool, he has a long-term vision.
The black beauty girl at the front desk contacted Louis, and soon Louis was in the lobby on the first floor.
"Oh, my little boss, don't let me know before you come. ”
Kim Hyun-tae also met Louis himself for the first time, but he had heard about this guy from Dave, after all, he was still in the rehabilitation center at the time, so many times he communicated with Louis through Dave.
"It's not a big deal, I'm just coming over to take a look, without informing you in advance, for fear of delaying your work. ”
Kim Hyun-tae sat in a wheelchair, stretched out his right hand to Louis, and shook it tightly.
"Please, I'll take you to see it now. Louis made a gesture of please, then turned around and took Anne and Kim Hyun Tae to the elevator and pressed the button.
Ding dong!
The elevator doors opened, and the group walked in.
"The second floor is the office, the third and fourth floors and the fifth floor are where our production department is located. In the process, Louis gave a brief introduction to Kim Hyun-tae.
After all, this is a small company with not many employees, although there are five floors, only one floor is used as an office and staff restaurant, and the rest of the floor is used as a studio for making animation and a place for various machines.
Kim Hyun-tae didn't put forward any opinions about this, after all, there must be some truth in this arrangement, and since he didn't understand, he couldn't talk nonsense.
"I'm here to see how the production of "Flying House" is progressing, after all, there is not much time left, and we are going to show it on the big screen at Christmas. ”
When Louis's words landed, Kim Hyun-tae said the purpose of his visit.
Hearing this, Louis replied with a smile: "Don't worry, little boss, we have already produced "Flying House Travel", after all, there is your complete script, storyboard script, and even the character image of the characters, so it is very easy for us to do it here." ”
"So, it's finished now?", hearing Louis say this, Kim Hyun Tae suddenly showed a curious look, and at the same time his heart was happy.
Louis nodded: "Yes, it's done, now there are some small details left to deal with, and it will all be done in about another day." ”
Call!
Kim Hyun-tae let out a sigh of relief, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.
What he has been most worried about all along is that the 3D cartoon animation of "Flying House" will not be successfully completed, which will affect the Christmas release that has been negotiated.
You must know that in order to help himself, Dave spent a lot of thought and energy, which persuaded Sancheng Cinema in North America to agree to give it a try.
After all, in this time and space, there is no precedent for no one to make cartoon animation into a film and broadcast it on the big screen.
Whether the result is good or bad is still not very clear.
If you don't succeed, you're going to lose money.
For such a situation, those theater owners don't want it to happen.
If it weren't for Dave, under the instruction of Annie, who agreed to sign a gambling agreement with these theater owners, he wouldn't have been able to get this number of thirty percent of North American theaters.
And Anne was already planning to use the money to go out and make a fuss.
In other words, even she is not optimistic about the prospect of cartoons being shown on the big screen.
In this world, it is estimated that only Kim Hyun Tae will have strong confidence in this.
"Great, if it is released smoothly and the results are not bad, I will give a certain percentage of the income as a bonus for everyone. ”
Kim Hyun-tae couldn't help but make a verbal promise to Luis.
Louis didn't take Kim Hyun-tae's promise seriously, because he wasn't too optimistic about the prospect of cartoons being shown on the big screen.
But it's a feat after all, although it is risky, and there is a high possibility of failure, but what if it succeeds.
This is very attractive to the adventurous Louis.
"Thank you, little boss, I will convey your decision to my colleagues in the company. ”
Jin Xiantai was in a very good mood at this time, so he waved his hand: "Yes, this news is announced, as long as "Flying House Travel" can earn 100 million box office, I will take 10% as a bonus for everyone." ”
Anne listened to Kim Hyun-tae behind him and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Even Louis thought Kim Hyun-tae was a little whimsical.
One hundred million?
Hehe, how is this possible.
Although it is true that we have contacted Sancheng Cinema Line in North America, it seems that there are more than 20,000 theaters that will play it, but in fact, it is unpredictable that people will arrange the number of shows and the time for you.
It's only played for one day, and only once, or in the middle of the night, so what do you say?
People are also arranging films for you, you can't say anything.
If this is the case, if you want to earn 100 million yuan at the box office, this is a very unrealistic thing.
Obviously, his own little boss is a complete novice in this and doesn't understand anything.
But vaguely, Louis has a little expectation in his heart, after all, he and his colleagues have already seen "Flying House" after the production is completed, and everyone thinks that this kind of film is very novel, and the story content is also very good.
Maybe...... It's not necessarily possible that it will actually succeed.
The elevator went to the fifth floor, and Louis led Kim Hyun Tae and Anne, who was holding Coco, and pushed Kim Hyun Tae's wheelchair to the conference room.
"Little boss, let's take a look at the film first, and after watching it, let's go meet the rest of the company's colleagues. ”
Kim Hyun-tae did not object to Louis's arrangement, after all, he also had such a plan to come here.
Now that "Flying House Travel" has been produced, he always has to take a look to see if there will be a big difference between it and the film in his impression.
At the very least, you have to make sure that you have a bottom in your heart.
Louis closed the curtains of the conference room, then lowered a screen, and then the playback of "Flying House" began.
About an hour and a half later, at the end of the film, Louis reopened the curtains: "Little boss, how is it, are you still satisfied?
Satisfied!
Very satisfied!
Kim Hyun Tae can basically give 10 points, because after watching the film, he compared it with the cartoon he had seen in his previous life, and there was basically no big difference.
While there will be some problems in some small details, it is also unavoidable.
After all, it is impossible to be exactly the same across two planes.
But these small details are harmless, and they won't even affect the overall effect, so why should you be demanding anything about it.
"Yes, very good, I'm very satisfied, basically you guys made it according to my script and the storyboard I gave you. ”
Kim Hyun-tae looked at Louis with a satisfied expression and nodded at him with a smile.
Anne's face was full of embarrassment at the moment, she never thought that a cartoon cartoon could be made like this, especially the first fifteen minutes of this film, which moved her even more.
At this time, Louis complimented Kim Hyun-tae a little: "That's all the credit of your script and storyboard script, little boss, and we people are just making it step by step." ”
While this is a compliment, it is also an undeniable fact.
After all, Kim Hyun-tae provided a complete script, as well as a rigorous and meticulous storyboard script, which saved time and effort to make it, and it really just needs to be done step by step.
Not to mention that Kim Hyun-tae even provided the character image together.
"It's all the result of everyone's hard work, I watched the film, and there was no problem. The soundtrack and voice acting are good, and I'm very satisfied. ”
"So now, my little boss, let's go meet the other employees of the company, after all, you little boss, they haven't seen it yet. ”
It was already 12 noon, and it was the time for the employees to take their lunch break, and most of the employees were eating in the staff cafeteria on the second floor, so Kim Hyun-tae followed Louis to the restaurant.
Louis pushed Kim Hyun Tae to the staff cafeteria, and stood at the gate and said loudly: "Colleagues, let's welcome our little boss, William Kim ......"
