15 April 2020

I-Starlight Media, umtshali-zimali wamafilimu osekelwa yiShayina ozinze e-Beverly Hills, usayine "ubambiswano oluhlanganyelwe lweminyaka eminingi, lwephrojekthi eminingi" ne-Lion Forge Animation yase-United States.

Nakhu okwengeziwe mayelana nobambiswano:

Isivumelwano sizobona ozakwethu ababili bexhasana ngezimali futhi bakhiqize ngokuhlanganyela amafilimu opopayi asekuqaleni, kanye namaphrojekthi asekelwe ku-"Lion Forge IP kanye ne-IP yamasiko ebanzi". Kuzogxilwa kakhulu ekuthuthukiseni okuqukethwe kwemakethe yamaShayina kanye nomsebenzi osuselwe ezindabeni zesiShayina zendabuko ezithamelini zomhlaba wonke.
Amaphrojekthi amabili okuqala azomenyezelwa njengengxenye yesivumelwano yifilimu emfushane ekhuluma nge-coronavirus, esesigabeni sokwethulwa ngokushesha esizoqala ukukhiqizwa kule nyanga, kanye nefilimu esuselwa kuhlobo lokubhala lwaseShayina. Uhambo oluya eNtshonalanga. Lesi sakamuva sesivele sigqugquzele imisebenzi eminingi yopopayi, okuhlanganisa nefilimu yokuqala yopopayi yaseShayina, I-Princess Iron Fan, ikhishwe ngo-1941.
Izinkampani zibambisana ekuthuthukisweni okubonakalayo nokulandisayo kwephrojekthi, ngopopayi "oqhutshwa" yi-Lion Forge studio e-St. Louis, e-Missouri. (Qaphela ukuthi igama elithi "ukuziphatha" ekukhishweni kwabezindaba liphakamisa ukuthi i-animaiton ingase ingakhiqizwa ngokuphelele endlini e-Lion Forge.) I-Starlight ingabanikazi bamalungelo okusabalalisa nokuthengisa e-China kanye ne-Lion Forge emhlabeni wonke.
Isikhulu seStarlight Media uPeter Luo (kwesobunxele) kanye nomsunguli weLion Forge uDavid Steward II.
I-Lion Forge yethulwa ngonyaka odlule nguDavid Steward II, indodana kasomabhizinisi wezobuchwepheshe oyibhiliyoni. Lesi situdiyo saziwa ngokuba siseMissouri, kude nezikhungo zopopayi zase-Los Angeles naseNew York, kanye nokuba nomnikazi wase-Afrika waseMelika e-Steward.
Ibhizinisi lokuqala lalesi situdiyo kwaba wukukhiqiza ngokubambisana kwefilimu emfishane kaMatthew Cherry Uthando lwezinwele, owawina indondo ye-Oscar ngoFebhuwari. U-Steward usayine ukuthi ufuna ukuthuthukisa amaphrojekthi asekelwe kumahlaya avela kumshicileli i-Oni-Lion Forge, nayo engeyenkampani yakhe i-Polarity. Ngesonto eledlule, enye inkampani esebenzisana nayo, ukumaketha kanye nokukhangisa i-Lion Forge Labs, ivaliwe "ngenxa yezimo zezomnotho ezishintsha ngokushesha" (lo mbiko weNewsarama unokuningi).
I-Starlight Media iyinkampani engaphansi kwe-Starlight Culture Entertainment Group Limited. Phambilini wayebanga izihloko ezibukhoma ezifana ne-hit comedy Crazy Rich Asia kanye namafilimu esenzo se-WWII Midway. Le nkampani ithi isivumelwano sayo neLion Forge senziwa njengengxenye "yesikhwama sokuthuthukisa esingaphezu kwezigidi eziyikhulu zamaRandi".
Lesi sivumelwano sivusa omunye ubudlelwano bopopayi base-US-Chinese, i-Oriental Dreamworks, eyethulwa ngo-2012 njengebhizinisi elihlanganyelwe phakathi kwe-Dreamworks Animation kanye nenhlanganisela yabasizi bezimali baseShayina. Le nkampani ikhiphe ukukhiqizwa okusemthethweni okusemthethweni kwe-US-China, I-Kung Fu Panda 3, kodwa kamuva yethulwa kabusha njengePearl Studio ephethwe ngamaShayina.
