Seven days later.

Huaguo Yanjing.

He Xiao yawned and sat up from the bed, the sweet potato that he hadn't seen for a long time was lying on his stomach with his belly on his thighs, and a pair of small paws stretched out and stretched.

"I see you're too lazy, but you're really looking for a place. ”

stroked the chubby cat head of the sweet potato, He Xiaole taught a lesson.

Since Japan returned to China, he has not been idle, not even Lejia, and went to Jinling as soon as he landed to prepare for the last world tour.

Because of the reason of his own territory, He Xiao's popularity completely exploded, and the concert venue was changed from an opera house to a stadium.

The scene was full of people, and he was still holding a glow stick, and He Xiao was almost about to sing a song "Exaggeration".

Had it not been for the Isabella team who stopped him in time, the concert would have turned into a solo concert.

The concert took four days from preparation to finish, so don't think it's fast, it's actually the result of everyone working overtime.

And just after yesterday's concert, He Xiao didn't even drink a single saliva, and flew back to Yanjing overnight.

It's not that he's diligent, it's that he has a new errand waiting for him the next day.

After the script of "White Snake: Origin" was handed over to Zhang Yongkang's studio, it received unanimous praise from the whole team.

Zhang Yongkang even shouted that He Xiao was smart, and used ready-made IP to tell the story, so that the character image could be plumped up without effort.

Because in the creation of comics, how to create a distinctive character image has always been the biggest problem.

The reason why Riman is so attractive is inseparable from the shaping of the characters.

They cleverly extract the attributes of the characters, and fix them as a kind of "character design", and copy and produce them in batches.

For example, tsundere, three no, cute and so on.

Of course, if you want to be the best, these are not enough.

In a top-notch comic work like "Breaking the Dawn", the character of the protagonist is more full, mostly a positive sunshine type, with both the innocence of a big child and the courage to be independent.

And it is precisely because we remember the protagonist that we can remember the name of the work.

In the script sent by He Xiao, the popular love story "The Legend of the White Snake" is used as the background, which is a clever technique.

Because the White Snake itself is a big IP, it has been passed on by word of mouth for thousands of years, and no one knows about it, and it has its own popularity and traffic.

In addition, the live-action version of The Legend of the White Snake has been remade many times, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

What He Xiao did at this time was just animating them, so it was an extremely ingenious approach.

But that alone wasn't enough to get everyone to applaud.

What really surprised everyone was that He Xiao did not continue to tell the old-fashioned story, but presented a completely different legend of the White Snake from a different perspective.

It was this excellent script and excellent story that made Zhang Yongkang's team more confident and decided to give it a go again.

They lost before because the story is not new, the rhythm is scattered, and there is no need to worry about the picture quality.

"Qin Huang Sword" has surpassed 90% of the Chinese comics, and in the special short story of only 30 seconds, the special effects and graphics have reached the world's top level.

Now that the funds, technology, and stories are all in place, how can everyone not be excited?

Putting the sweet potato on the bed, He Xiao put on a dress and walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as I came out, I saw a woman sitting improperly on a chair, one leg hooked to the armrest of the chair, and high-heeled woven gold slippers hanging leisurely on the tips of her toes, ready to fall to the ground with a "snap" at any time.

"Yo, what's the wind that blew you?"

He Xiao scratched his head and yawned, not looking at the woman squarely.

The woman pursed her lips and smiled without any annoyance, and said with a smile in her eyes: "I didn't say a word when I came back, I thought there was a thief in the house." ”

"What's the matter? Are you always thinking of spring, or is the little master's hairstyle to your liking today? It's worth talking so seductively like an old bustard? I can't stand it. ”

He Xiao took out half a carton of milk from the refrigerator with one eye closed and poured it into the cup, squeezing it without idle time.

"Heh, what an iron man. ”

Zhang Xuran's woven gold slippers hanging on the tips of his feet finally fell down with a snap, then lit a cigarette, and said, "Discuss something with you, give me the sweet potato." ”

"What?"

He Xiao's face changed at that time: "You want to rob my cat?"

"Don't criticize your face! You turtle is not at home for eight out of ten days a year, and the cats are all served by Lao Tzu, now talk about Lao Tzu snatching your cat?" Zhang Xuran rolled his eyelids, took out a sack of cat food from his back, and kicked it in front of He Xiao.

Then he said, "I bought it." ”

He Xiao looked down at the cat food and was speechless for a long time.

Either how to say that this Zhang Ran is a real society, buy cats with cat food.

The sweet potato also came out of the room at this time, and immediately trotted over after seeing Zhang Xuran, and then glanced at He Xiao with disgust.

Feeling despised by the cat, He smiled darkly, and went back to the room with milk to get dressed, "Let's talk about it later, I still have something to do today, right...... Did the car keys give me a place? Why can't I find them?"

Zhang Xuran: "...... Criticism!"

……

Mornings in Yanjing are still as crowded as usual.

He Xiao drove for a long time without moving, put a layer of gray Mercedes-Benz in the underground parking lot, and drove slowly on the road.

Zhang Yongkang's studio is in Yanjing, which is certainly not a high-end office building, but an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city that was rented and refitted.

It looks tattered on the outside, but there are holes inside, and the overall style is also very casual, with a billiards area, a fitness area, and a bar area.

He Xiao was stunned after coming according to the address, good guy, this is an office place, it's no problem to use it for a party.

"Yes, you guys have a pretty good time. ”

After visiting inside and out, He Xiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised.

Zhang Yongkang, who was accompanying him, said with a smile: "Mr. He, you are smiling, in fact, when I was in the first construction, I thought that our generation was too tired, stressful and facing the computer every day, which was not very good, so I made a few more leisure areas, so that everyone can relax and relax if they have nothing to do, but you can rest assured that it will definitely not affect the work." ”

Because He Xiao acquired the entire studio, the studio officially changed hands, and Zhang Yongkang changed from the boss to the younger brother, so the title of He Xiao also changed.

After a pause, he got down to business: "Mr. He, I have to remind you that if you want to achieve the picture quality required in the script of "The Origin of the White Snake", it is estimated that the capital investment will be very large, and I don't know our budget ......."

Zhang Yongkang has been thinking about "The Origin of the White Snake" since he read the script, and as a veteran in the animation field, he knows how much money he needs to invest to achieve He Xiao's picture quality, and it can be said that every frame of the picture is throwing money.

He didn't know if He Xiao would agree to such a high capital investment, so he asked very cautiously.

He Xiao turned his head to look at him, then stretched out his finger and made an "eight" gesture.

"Eight million?"

Zhang Yongkang said tentatively, and then his expression was a little sad.

Eight million is a lot, but it looks shabby when put into the production of an animated film, and it is estimated that even the money for the live investigation is not enough.

He Xiao glanced at him sideways, and then turned around and walked towards a computer in the office area, and at the same time, the words that landed sounded on the ground came without hesitation, which made everyone feel uplifted.

"I mean...... The budget is 80 million, which is not enough to add more!"
