He walked into the office.
Shi Xiao Tao opened her mouth in surprise. He's too young. He's almost the same age as me.
"Have a seat."
Chen Jin gestured for her to sit down. Liu Qi, the head of the Human Resource Department, poured her a cup of tea. Shi Xiao Tao expressed her gratitude.
"Introduce yourself. My surname is Chen. You can call me Chief Chen."
"Okay."
Shi Xiao Tao stood up and said, "My surname is Shi Xiao Tao. You can call me Xiao Tao. I'm 23 years old. I just graduated from Beijing Film Academy's directing program last year."
"Have a seat. Graduation? Didn't you say you were a director? So you just graduated. "
"Uh, I'm a director to be, to be a director. But when I graduated last year, I made a 15-minute animated movie with my classmates. It's called 'Snow Nation.' We won first place. I can show you my work."
Shi Xiao Tao took out her notebook from her backpack and opened the video she made. She was well prepared.
Chen Jin watched for a while and nodded. He felt that the picture was exquisite and beautiful. The story was average, but not boring. It was pleasing to the eye.
Shi Xiao Tao reminded him in a low voice, "We spent more than $5 million on this video."
Chen Jin glanced at her and paused the video. He pushed the computer to the side and placed his elbows on the table. He crossed his fingers and lifted his chin. "Tell me what you think."
Shi Xiao Tao's face lit up. She quickly told him her idea of making an animated movie about the Wa-wah robot.
She concluded three reasons why the movie would be a success.
First, "Wa-wah Robot" was likely to become a popular IP. It had great potential to be adapted into a movie.
Third, after the Wa-wah robot entered thousands of households, it would be known and familiar to many families. A related animated movie would definitely attract the whole family to watch it in the cinema.
Third, the story of "Wa-wah Robot" had great potential to be adapted. Based on the settings in the commercial, many funny stories about the battle of wits and courage between Wa-wah and humans could be unearthed. It would be a good story.
The more Shi Xiao Tao talked, the more excited she became. She didn't notice that Chen Jin's face had become disinterested.
He even interrupted her.
"Alright, alright, I roughly understand what you mean. Don't talk about IP, IP. How many popular IPs have there been in recent years? My uncle's company only made two IP movies, and in the end, both of them ruined classics and original works. They were all bad movies. I don't want my company's product image to be completely ruined by a bad movie. You … better go back. "
Chen Jin waved his hand.
Shi Xiaotao was immediately dumbfounded by the cold water that was poured on her.
Then, she immediately came back to her senses and promised, "President Chen, please believe me. I won't mess up this IP. I'll definitely make a good product! Please give me a chance! "
Chen Jin looked at her extremely serious face for a while. He thought for a while and said, "Let's do it this way. It's indeed not fair to kill you with a single blow. After all, you've just graduated from directing. You're the hope of Z country's film industry. We can't just nip this hope in the bud."
Shi Xiaotao nodded like a chick pecking at grains. She clenched her fists and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I'm the hope of Z country's film industry!"
"You can go back first and write a script for me. Write a script that's exciting enough. If I'm satisfied with the script, then we can proceed to the next step of cooperation. If the script is too mediocre and cliché, then I'm sorry. I can only say that we're not fated to work together." Chen Jin spread his hands.
A movie included a script, art style, and special effects. Among these, the script was very important. The quality of the script determined the quality of the story and the life and death of a part of the movie.
"Alright! I'll go back and write a script first. I'll write a good story until you approve! "
Shi Xiaotao knew that it was not that easy to get a really good IP. If she wanted to get the other party's approval, she had to show her capabilities.
So, she said seriously, "President Chen, since you've given me a chance to try, then before I produce the script, please don't give this IP to anyone else. At the very least, we have to compete fairly!"
"Alright! If there's a similar director looking for me, I'll also ask for the script first. Then, I'll compare and choose the best script. Can you do your best? "
"President Chen, believe me, I'll definitely do the best!"
Shi Xiaotao clenched her fists. Her eyes were filled with the desire to win over this IP.
Chen Jin nodded. As the saying goes, survival of the fittest. Rather than giving the IP of "Wa-wah Robot" to those directors who only wanted to make money, it was better to strictly control the IP and let the team that provided the best script, the best art style, and the best special effects to do it. If there was a part that he was not satisfied with, he would reject it completely and refuse to continue working with them!
In short, he would rather not earn that little bit of money. The image of the Wa-wah robot brand could not be destroyed by others!
After getting Chen Jin's assurance, they exchanged contact numbers. Shi Xiaotao, who was full of fighting spirit, went back to work on her script.

Those who were also designing and manufacturing cleaning robots were all panicking. They felt as if doomsday was upon them.
Some of the business partners had already taken action. They swore that they would not let Xing Hai Technologies swallow the entire pie of cleaning robots.
