The most indispensable thing in Hollywood is that there is no shortage of screenwriters and young actors who have dreams, gnawed hamburgers, rented the cheapest house, and worried about whether the landlord will kick them out tomorrow, dreaming of becoming famous screenwriters and young actors, and it is too simple to find a few talented but not famous screenwriters, and even if you want to set up a screenwriter studio, as long as you have a talented screenwriter, you can find a few screenwriters at random.

After all, the most important thing in a script is creativity, with creativity, it is equivalent to having a skeleton, and the following things are much simpler, as long as you keep piling up the right muscles and skin on this skeleton, and this creativity, sometimes it is very likely that it is actually just a few sentences. That is what Zhang Lan is doing now, as she usually says, "The boss moves his mouth, and the employee breaks his leg." ”

It's that simple, it should have been a troublesome thing, but now Xiao Chenxi has solved it in a few words, and the ease is a little unbelievable.

Of course, it's so easy. It has an indistinguishable relationship with the current wealth of the Alice Group, after all, it is an exaggeration. Now Alice Group has plucked a hair from her body, and she has the thickness of someone else's waist.

It's not impossible for Arnold to do this, and it's very good. But to let Arnold, Schwara, and Singh do such a despicable thing is too overkill. Because Reeves' girlfriend Jessica Alba is now quite good in Hollywood, Reeves is also a very famous celebrity in Hollywood, and it is just right for Reeves to do this.

Reeves did not disappoint Zhang Lan either, in less than a week, Reeves had completely completed the selection of screenwriters, a total of five screenwriters, four. Xiaocai Island, one is quite famous.

Although these five guys are all screenwriters who have not made their debut on the Internet without a reputation, Reeves has seen their works, although they are all a little immature, but the screenwriters' skills are very good, after all, there is no one who dares to go to Hollywood to eat, and none of them do not carry two brushes. So these screenwriters, who are still worried about the fate of the next meal, are very satisfied with the work that Reeves gave them an annual salary of 10,000 dollars, and the bonus can be increased depending on the situation, because it means. As long as they're not doing too badly. At the very least, they don't have to worry about their food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

The annual salary is 10,000 US dollars, which is not a low income in the United States, not to mention bonuses. Although this income belongs to the poor in Hollywood, compared to their previous embarrassing life, these guys are already satisfied in their hearts, after all, unless they are screenwriters who are tough to death, the income of screenwriters who survive in Hollywood is actually not high, and the old annual salary, although it belongs to the poor in Hollywood, it is already a middle-income person among screenwriters, and most importantly, they don't have to risk the script they wrote being thrown into the trash.

In the midst of this. The only more famous screenwriter is Jonathan Abel, one of the two major editors of "Kung Fu Panda", but the current Jonathan Abel is far from being compared with the scenery a few years later, and the two animated films "Crazy TV Show" and "Top of the Family" that he participated in as a screenwriter only let people know that Hollywood has such a screenwriter and it still belongs to the kind of person who will be forgotten when he turns his head.

When Zhang Lan knew that he had actually done this for Jonathan Abel. When he was a future celebrity, his excited bowels twitched a little: I didn't expect Reeves to bring such a big surprise to himself!

With the joining of Jonathan Abel, Zhang Lan has more confidence in making anime this time. As for Alice's racing department's support for them in terms of professional technology, when Zhang Lan talked to Xiao Chenxi and Alice about this matter that day, they had already made a good move with the motorsports department.

If this matter is operated by someone else, Ali Watanen, the director of the motorsport department, may have to take a shelf, but this matter is ordered by his three bosses at the same time, do you still expect Ali Watanen to dare to push Tan in this matter? Even if he borrowed a few, he didn't dare. Not to mention that if this operation is successful, it will be a great help to the group.

And now, the screenwriters that Reeves found are going to fly over and communicate with Zhang Lan in detail to ensure that what he writes is really in line with Zhang Lan's ideas. But this time Reeves didn't come. He is now in talks with DreamWorks.

It's just this kind of business, to be honest, DreamWorks really hasn't taken it over, I'm afraid it's not only DreamWorks, but other Hollywood film studios haven't taken it over, and they're really hesitant.

This is a bit like processing with incoming materials in the industry, for Dream Factory, this is actually a good thing, because the cost of drama production is much higher than that of ordinary animation, and the requirements for picture quality are definitely not comparable to ordinary TV animation, Zhang Lan is of course very clear about this, just like the classic drama "Yue Yu" that set off a ratings frenzy around the world, relying on the excellent plot and excellent production, among them, excellent production plays a role in it, It's definitely not a simple sentence of "not bad." You'll be done.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with doing this for their Dream Works. Not only is there nothing bad, but it is a good opportunity to expand your income, like a dream one, two kinds of film production companies. Although the benefits are very good. But the staff of 110 is actually very scattered, belonging to the typical "busy when busy, idle when idle" type, if there are many such things in the future, it is not bad to recruit some people to do this, at least this part of the income alone, is enough to maintain part of the company's expenses

As a person who does business, as long as it is within his own scope of money, then he must make it, the only question is, DreamWorks is still uncertain, what is the response of Alice Group's anime adaptation of the comic in the market? If the market response is very good, then it will naturally be hello, hello, hello, everyone. But if you just do it a little bit, then you have been busy for so long, wouldn't it be in vain?

Of course, there is no rush in this matter now, according to the usual way of dealing with such things in the animation industry, it is to decide whether to adapt the comic into animation after the comic has been out for a period of time, and then decide whether to adapt the comic into an animation according to the response of the market, during which there is still plenty of time left for communication and coordination between the Alice Group and DreamWorks, and DreamWorks is indeed very interested in this matter, and the only question to be solved is how this comic will react in the market in the future? ,

If the communication with DreamWorks is quite pleasant, then the contact with the Magical Comics Company is not so pleasant, perhaps the Magical Comics Company is full of confidence in the various "chivalry" under its own company, and it does not belong to this kind of processing work, so in the contact with the Alice Group, although the Magical Comics Company seems to be very enthusiastic, it is the kind of enthusiasm that implies a faint refusal.

In fact, as they thought, Fantastic Comics needs to sell their comic adaptation rights to those big film companies to receive a lot of money, and the copyright is still with them, so why bother to help others now? Isn't that an insult to our amazing comic company! When did our magical comic company actually fall to the point where we needed to pick up people's teeth to make a living?

Not only the boss of the Magical Comics Company thinks so, but even the employees of the Magical Comics Company who know about it are quite angry.

If it weren't for the fact that the person who came to find him was the Alice Group and couldn't afford to provoke him, I'm afraid these guys would have already kicked out the people sent by Reeves to negotiate with them.

Since this road is not working. Then I had to let the Japanese work for me. After receiving Reeves' report, Zhang Lan couldn't help but think of it with self-deprecation.

But that's fine. After all, Japan is the world's largest producer and seller of comics, and even a big comic country like the United States has no choice but to bow down in front of Japan's huge comic corps, let the Japanese help them produce comics, and then sell them to the Japanese to make Japanese money. Anyway, it's a very good idea.

While Zhang Lan was busy operating his own animation, the Alice Group exhibitor group who went to Japan to participate in the Tokyo Motor Show had already completed the preliminary exhibition arrangement, and was conducting final communication and coordination with the staff of Alice Group in Japan. The Alice Group sells all the same Longxuan 6 Series and 9 Series luxury cars in Japan, and the latest supercar Fang Hebi is undoubtedly among them.

In addition, the three brands under the Alice Group: Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Khan, as well as the Alice Ferrari supercar co-produced by the Alice Group and Ferrari Company, naturally also have special sales stores in Japan. As the world's second largest economy, although Zhang Lan has always looked at the Japanese unpleasantly. But in any case, Zhang Lan will not let go of the opportunity to make money from the Japanese, after all, no one has a grudge against money, right?

But the strange thing is that the best selling in Japan is not the top-level luxury Longxuan Nine Series sedan, but actually a tall and tall Hummer" This made Zhang Lan strange at the beginning, after all, no matter from which angle it looks, in terms of the height of the Japanese, it is not the kind of Hummer that can calmly drive... Such a super big guy, but why is this car selling so well in Japan?

The final result made Zhang Lan quite laughable: the Japanese believed that driving such an oversized full-size military vehicle made them feel more pleasure looking down on others. If you go deeper. That is, the height of the Japanese is not very tall, so that they are a little perverted and have a slight deformity. As a result, they have a soft spot for this full-size model.

Of course, in order to meet the requirements of the Japanese to drive the Humber, all Humvees ... The rails of the driver's seat electric adjustment device have been lengthened by four millimeters, in order to ensure that with the general height of the Japanese, when they adjust the driver's seat to the front, they can reach the accelerator and brake under the premise of ensuring that the hands can hold the steering wheel.

In a word, the vehicles sold by the Alice Group in Japan are all given priority to large size, and the sales representatives of the Alice Group in various sales stores in Japan are also the most beautiful among the Japanese car sales companies, and now the Alice Group has been exhibiting at the Tokyo Motor Show for half a month. Most of the docents were also temporarily recruited from the Alice Group's sales companies in Japan, and the training they are now giving them is a reminder during the exhibition.

One of the reasons why Zhang Lan is more interested in this Tokyo Motor Show is that one of the statistics that Zhang Lan remembers in his memory is that during this Tokyo Motor Show, the number of visitors reached a record 10,000. This visitor record was not only unattainable by the other four major international motor shows in North America, including the Detroit Motor Show, the Geneva Motor Show, the Paris Motor Show, and the Frankfurt Motor Show, but also the Japan Association of Automotive Technicians, which held the Tokyo Motor Show that year. For this reason, the Japanese have been proud and boasting internationally for a long time.

But it's more satisfying. After the new century, the greedy Japanese charged more and more at the Tokyo Motor Show, resulting in the old car manufacturers in Ouyuan not participating in the auto show, and the status of the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan was also robbed by the Beijing Auto Show.

At least in the new century, China's auto market is really coveted by automobile manufacturers all over the world.

Well, don't care about what happens later, at least at this stage, during this Tokyo Motor Show in Japan, it is still an excellent time for Zhang Lan to cut meat from the Japanese.

As for the existing, Zhang Lan still has one more thing to do. Since it has been decided to choose to cooperate with the Japanese in the production of comics for this anime to be produced, the object of cooperation is naturally the three major comic companies in Japan.

However, unlike the manga industry in the United States, the prosperity of the manga industry in Japan is underneath the fierce market competition. Even the three major manga companies of Kodansha, Kokudankan and Shueisha, faced with such a situation, had to expand their influence in order to occupy as much market share as possible in this limited market share.

Since we want to contact the Japanese comic society, and we are still in contact with the three major comic companies in Japan, we have launched "Initial Text" before. Naturally, Kodansha was not the top priority: no one would want to hit his right hand with his left hand. If the comic that the Alice Group wants to do this time is Kodansha's own, it would be fine, but a racing manga commissioned by a foreigner? already has its own signature racing comic "Initial Text. Now this manga of "Initial Text" is being released, and this is a hot time. This kind of self-slapping thing, Kodansha will never do. ,

Zhang Lan also did not think that the Japanese, who had always been narrow-minded, would do such things that harmed others and benefited themselves.

However, the Kodansha where Shuichi Shigano, the author of "Initial Characters", works, will not do this, and it does not mean that the other two major manga clubs, Shogakukan and Shueisha, are interested in a "Initial Text" that can impact Kodansha. I'm not interested in manga works, but I'm sure Shogakukan and Shueisha are still interested in making an anime that can compete with Kodansha, even if the manga was commissioned by someone else.

While dealing with this matter. Zhang Lan took two steps, Reeves in the United States helped Zhang Lan contact DreamWorks, and gathered some editors who were not very happy in Hollywood to join his creative team. He is also responsible for communicating with Fantastic Comics. The first two things Reeves did quite well, and the contact with Fantastic Comics was a bag that made Reeves touch his head.

Since the way to cooperate with Amazing Comics is not going to work, then naturally the only way to go is to go the way of Japan. The person in charge of contacting the Japanese comic company here is Wang Jianguo, who had a relationship with Zhang Zongjun when the Zhang family first started his business and was later saved by Zhang Zongjun.

The leader of the exhibition at the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan this time was Wang Jianguo, and it was just this opportunity that Zhang Lan asked Wang Jianguo to help him deal with this matter. This is not a big deal in the first place, not to mention that it is a very powerful thing for his own company, Wang Jianguo naturally has no reason not to agree. The first comic company Wang Jianguo came into contact with was the school that launched a series of famous comic works such as "Detective Conan", "Doraemon", "Ranmakou" and "Inuyasha".

Originally, Wang Jianguo thought that if the contact with the Shogakukan did not go well this time, he would contact the people of Shueisha again, but he did not expect that the contact with the Shogakukan would be smooth in the early stage, and he signed a confidentiality agreement. After ensuring that the personnel of both sides are mainly the people of the primary school hall will not leak the content of this meeting and use it themselves, Wang Jianguo's secretary only preliminarily explained his ideas to the people of the primary school hall The comic book authors of the primary school hall, including the director of the primary school hall who came out to receive Wang Jianguo in person, suddenly seemed to be a wolf who had been hungry for half a month, and his eyes flashed green, and after three days of communication, the two sides determined the way of cooperation this time.

Of course, they understand such an idea, as opposed to Kodansha's "Initial Text. How threatening is it to say that "Initial Text. "It's a bandit, the idea proposed by the people of the Deng Alice Group can be called a regular army, although it is a pity that they can't get this idea and the copyright behind it into the hands of the primary school hall, but they can get the publishing rights, and they can also get a share of different proportions according to the market response, but it also makes these guys in the primary school hall smile. After all, they don't have to take the risk themselves.
