Chapter 544: Unexpected Recruitment of Apprentices
Since everyone agreed, Zhu Feibai was relieved.
The next thing was very simple. Xu Nuo spent 100 million to acquire Photon Animation.
This price was very generous, and both parties did not suffer a loss. Xu Nuo spent 100 million to acquire 70% of the shares, and several founders took 30% of the shares in total.
On the day of the signing, Fanxing Studio made an official announcement.
"Welcome Photon Animation to join Fanxing, and have a happy cooperation."
This news caused a big earthquake in the animation circle.
Photon Animation is small, but very strong. The quality of the animations it produces is above 7 or 8 points. Many capitals are eyeing them, and several giants have long wanted to spend a lot of money to acquire them.
But no one expected that Photon Animation would directly join Fanxing.
"Is Nuoyan finally ready to enter the animation industry?"
"What a big deal! Our company offered 200 million yuan, but Zhu Feibai directly rejected it."
"Indeed, Qiyue Group also intervened. It is said that the offer was high, but Zhu Feibai didn't even blink."
"Haha, I heard that these investors all demanded absolute control, which means that Zhu Feibai and others can only become workers. Who can stand this!"
Commercial acquisitions seem to be a happy ending on the surface, but behind the calm, there is often a big purge.
The founders were kicked out, the disobedient ones were kicked out, and the capital only kept the obedient dogs, and everyone else could be abandoned.
Was Photon Animation at that time still the Photon Animation that adheres to its ideals now?
Dreams and interests are inherently contradictory.
Unless Photon's own dream is to make money.
The addition of Photon Animation gave the rabbits new hope.
I have only watched four episodes of "That Rabbit", which is not enough to watch. Now that Photon has joined, it must update a few episodes to show its appreciation, right?
A large group of rabbits went to the Weibo of Photon Animation to urge for more episodes.
Zhu Feibai was dumbfounded. What the hell, are you in such a hurry? The handwriting on the contract hasn't even dried yet, and they're urging for more episodes!
"Boss, what do you think of us?"
Xu Nuo touched his nose, "Then you guys can update a few more episodes. I've already written the script."
Zhu Feibai was also very straightforward and left with the script.
"Brothers, it's time to work!"
"So soon?"
"Tsk tsk, it's good to join Fanxing!"
"It's good to lean on a big tree for shade."
"By the way, I want to draw "The Great Ruler."
"The Ming Dynasty is also a good subject."
Zhu Feibai shook his head and smiled, "That's all for later. Now there is an urgent task."
When they heard the urgent task, everyone got excited, "What task?"
"The Year Hare Affair!"
"Fuck!"
"Awesome!"
"Ahhh, it's really urgent!"
"Let's get started!" Zhu Feibai waved his hand, "By the way, reply to the people on Weibo who urged for more updates. These people are so scary."
It's really scary. After watching four episodes, the Youth Society urged for more updates again. I just want to ask if you are afraid.
Not only that, after the four episodes of the animation were broadcast, Yu Tianlei said that he would consider adding Chinese animation elements to the Spring Festival Gala.
All CCTV stations reported on this animation, and major official media supported it online.
The lineup was directly full.
The spring of Chinese comics seems to be coming.
…
On the other side, Xu Nuo was busy planning the content of the Spring Festival Gala.
Yu Tianlei simply became a military advisor. Every time he wanted to plan a program, Yu Tianlei would provide him with candidates.
Of course, most of the people Yu Tianlei provided were people he was familiar with and had a good relationship with.
"A dance, this dance, I plan to make everyone remember it!"
Yu Tianlei looked at the program and was silent for a long time, "I'll contact the dance troupe for you!"
Xu Nuo continued to pick people.
"Can this person come?"
Yu Tianlei gritted his teeth, "Please!"
"Okay."
"But I can't guarantee that he is willing to come for this song." Yu Tianlei had a headache.
"It doesn't matter, give him the script, it's his loss if he doesn't come." Xu Nuo was very confident.
"Then I told him so." Yu Tianlei joked.
Xu Nuo smiled: "Just tell them this, the effect may be better!"
"This person is not bad!"
"..."
The time for this year's Spring Festival Gala was too tight. Due to the competition from Sun Mingcheng, the candidate was not decided until now.
After Xu Nuo arranged the program, he submitted it to the higher-ups for review.
This time he did not do any satirical programs. The programs he chose were basically funny, festive and warm.
There was positive energy, of course, but there was definitely no boring drama like making dumplings together.
After submitting the program list, Xu Nuo returned to the Magic City.
The casting of "Tianlong Babu" has been delayed for a long time.
Yang Zheng has almost selected the people, but he has not decided yet. He insisted that Xu Nuo choose the person himself.
"You are the author, and you know the role better."
Yang Zheng called him back with one sentence.
The first person to be determined is Qiao Feng. The competition for this role is simply a fight between gods. Basically all the well-known male stars in the entertainment industry have come.
After multiple rounds of screening, Yang Zheng still left five people for Xu Nuo to choose.
When Xu Nuo came in, the five people stood up in unison.
"Hello, Director Xu!"
Although Xu Nuo is a junior, he is the investor of this drama, a true sponsor, and everyone is very polite, and there is no bloody face-slapping segment like in the novel.
Xu Nuo nodded, said hello, and started letting them try out the show.
In the end, Xu Nuo chose a person with less outstanding looks, because he looked a bit like Hu Jun, exuding a strong masculine aura, and he looked like he could play a hero at first glance.
Seeing that he had chosen a candidate, the others wilted like eggplants beaten by frost.
Everyone left the conference room, and Xu Nuo stopped someone.
"Although you are not suitable for Qiao Feng, I think other roles are also suitable. I wonder if you would like to consider it?"
"Protagonist?" This person is also very picky. He originally came here for Qiao Feng. If Qiao Feng can't play another protagonist, it doesn't matter.
"Murong Fu, this role needs someone with noble temperament to play it."
The man was stunned for a moment, "Beiqiao Fengnan Murong?"
"Yes."
"I can try."
The protagonists were quickly determined, but when it came to choosing Wang Yuyan, Xu Nuo had a bit of a problem. According to the book, Wang Yuyan was as beautiful as a fairy, and she was simply a fairy sister.
A few actresses are good-looking, but they lack that fairy-like feeling.
Seeing Xu Nuo's silence, Yang Zheng understood that he was not satisfied.
Yang Zheng chuckled and said, "It seems that your requirements are a bit high. I think it would be better to let Lin Wanqing play the role."
Xu Nuo shook his head.
"Okay, let me recommend another person to you. The granddaughter of the old Liu family is preparing to debut recently. She looks as beautiful as a fairy, but she is a little too young."
Yang Zheng clicked his tongue several times.
"But whether you can persuade Lao Liu depends on your ability."
As soon as they left, the two of them went directly to the old Liu's house that Yang Zheng mentioned.
"Hey, what brought you here?"
It was obvious that the two of them had a good relationship, and Lao Liu was filled with a strange feeling of anger when he opened his mouth.
"Come on, Lao Liu, let me introduce you. This is Nuo Yan." Yang Zheng patted him on the shoulder, turned to Xu Nuo and said, "This is Lao Liu, an investor from earlier years."
"Hello, hello." Old Liu looked Xu Nuo over a few times and invited them into the house.
After a few pleasantries, Xu promised to get straight to the point.
"I heard from Director Yang that your granddaughter is as beautiful as a fairy..."
Old Liu almost jumped up when he heard this, "Who said that!"
He stared at Yang Zheng fiercely: "It must be you."
Xu Nuo is a bit confused, as for such a big reaction.
Yang Zheng was not angry, and smiled: "Okay, I know your precious granddaughter, Xiao Xu came here to invite her to try out the show."
"No!" Lao Liu refused without even thinking.
"Grandpa, I want to try it!" A crisp voice came out.
A pretty little girl poked her head out of the room.
The little girl has a standard oval face and big, round eyes. Her long eyelashes can be seen from such a distance.
Yang Zheng was right, she was indeed as beautiful as a fairy.
Old Liu Teng jumped up and blocked her behind him as if facing a formidable enemy, "Little Ancestor, why did you run out?"
The little girl poked her head and peeked at Xu Nuo.
Old Liu was heartbroken: "You Yang Zheng, how could you bring me your promise!"
Damn it, my granddaughter was a fan of this guy, and her eyes were so wet.
When we meet now, we are completely over each other.
"Ahem, Teacher Liu, we are here this time to invite your granddaughter to play Wang Yuyan in "Dragon Movie"."
"no!"
"Wang Yuyan? Brother Nuoyan, do you want to play Duan Yu?" The little girl tried her best to poke her head and blinked her big eyes.
"What a fart!"
Lao Liu said angrily.
Spicy pills, spicy pills, even brother Nuoyan is called, who can resist this!
His granddaughter was done with it a long time ago. She kept making promises every day, just because she was afraid that if she couldn't stand it, then she would really be done with it.
"Uh, I don't play Duan Yu." Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment.
"Then what are you playing?" the little girl asked curiously, seeming to be thinking about something.
"I don't act in anything."
"Oh." The little girl was obviously disappointed.
Lao Liu was so angry that he slapped his thigh, while Yang Zheng smiled and said nothing.
"What's your name?"
"Don't tell him!"
"My name is Liu Xinyi."
Lao Liu: "..."
Yang Zheng laughed loudly: "Okay, Old Liu, I think Xing Yi is quite suitable to play Wang Yuyan."
"There is that aura." Xu Nuo nodded in agreement.
Liu Xinyi opened her eyes wide, as if there were little stars in her eyes. Seeing Xu Nuo looking over, she lowered her head shyly.
"Teacher Liu, I think Xiaoyi is quite appropriate. Why don't you read the script?"
Old Liu waved his hand in dismay, "I've read the script a long time ago, but I just don't trust Xinyi."
"You don't have to worry about this. There will definitely be no problems with our crew. You can also go along."
"Yeah." Liu Xinyi nodded fiercely.
"You can go, I have a request." Old Liu Xin pulled her granddaughter and asked her to stand in front of Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo had a question mark on his face, what is this for? If you do well, you will be entrusted with it for life.
"It's okay to play Wang Yuyan, but I have a condition."
Xu Nuo nodded: "You say."
As long as she is not entrusted with her for life, everything else is easy to negotiate. No matter how beautiful Liu Xinyi is, he also has Lin Wanqing.
"You accept her as your disciple!" Lao Liu said.
Xu Nuo was stunned.
Liu Xinyi was also confused.
Yang Zheng thought for a moment and laughed.
