Chapter 228: Album: "Greatness in the Ordinary"
Yuxian Animation Studio.
When He Xiao's voice came out, there were exclamations of joy everywhere.
"Long live Mr. He!"
"Haha, our studio is finally rich, not poor!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely make a lot of money!"
Everyone's cheeks revealed joy, including Zhang Yongkang.
Most of the people in Yuxian Studio are ordinary young people, with no prominent family background and background, and the entire studio relies on the money from Zhang Yongkang's sale of the house to operate.
The companies that Ken invested in before were more and more difficult to pick one after another, so the studio's budget was always tight, and the details of the work were not perfected.
Now with such a huge amount of start-up capital, the studio can also completely free up its hands and feet to make the graphics of "White Snake: Origin" comparable to the world's level.
"Mr. He, with your words, we are much more relieved!"
Zhang Yongkang looked very excited, his face flushed, and he waved his fists vigorously.
As a person who is willing to invest all his family funds in the career of Guoman,His love for Guoman is undoubted。
At this time, when I heard the budget promised by He Xiao, I was happier than anyone else.
"You do it well, now there is no shortage of funds, technology, and scripts, there is no reason to lose to Riman again, and when Guoman rises, you will all be the people who carry Guoman!"
He Xiao desperately instilled chicken soup for the soul into everyone like a big fool, so that the young people who had failed for a long time regained their fighting spirit, and they were all high-spirited, shouting that they wanted to spill their blood for Guoman.
In fact, taking out 80 million in one go is also a considerable load for He Xiao, almost emptying out his entire family fund.
And He Xiao knows that this is just enough, and when it comes to the later publicity, it is very likely that he will have to come up with another sum.
Because making animation itself is a money-burning thing, especially this kind of big movie, it can be said that every frame is the taste of money.
Looking at all the internationally famous animated blockbusters, there is almost no one that is not a big investment.
Hundreds of millions is just the beginning, and one billion is not the cap.
With such a high investment, it is difficult to say whether it can even pay off, and only the most confident top teams dare to handle it.
In the face of international animated films with hundreds of millions of investments, "The Origin of the White Snake" has a long way to go, and it must create the same effect with a budget of 80 million.
He Xiao knew that it was difficult, but it was by no means wishful thinking.
Because in the world of black phones, the original animation of "White Snake: Origin" has completed a feat comparable to the world's top animated films with a budget of 80 million.
"Zootopia", "Super Marines" and other works have budgets of more than one billion, the number of project teams exceeds 500, and the average age of experience is more than 20 years.
In comparison, the young "White Snake: Origin" team is extremely immature.
There are few people, little money, and little experience.
But even so, they did not give in.
This is a young team with dreams.
It took three years to polish, a budget of 80 million, and less than one-third of the number of other studios.
With one hand, he has lifted up half of the mountains and rivers of Guoman, creating the ultimate picture comparable to the world's top animated films.
It is precisely because there have been successful examples in the past, so He Xiao dared to invest 80 million, and he released the bold words of creating a top Guoman.
After all, sometimes, success can be replicated.
After a busy morning in the Yuxian Studio, the funds were handed over, the goals were set, and all kinds of trivial matters were handled, and the "White Snake: Origin" project was officially finalized.
He Xiao is not a hands-off shopkeeper, he doesn't know how to make an animation, but he has watched the original video of "White Snake: Origin" and knows what kind of picture he wants, so he is a screenwriter and half a director.
For the next year, he will work with the studio.
When I came out of the studio, it was already noon.
He Xiao looked up at the sky, then drove to a nearby supermarket to buy hot pot base and ingredients, and called Zhang Xuran by the way when he went home to cook.
Zhang Xuran's stinky face seemed to have the same expression for thousands of years, and of course, the stinky mouth below was too, and the words he said were damaged and ugly.
"I said that you went on a trip abroad, turned the world upside down for other people's competitions, and ran back with a bunch of honors, so what are your next steps? You can't really devote yourself to the ocean of animation creation, right? That's not an errand that can show your face. ”
"Hey, what is the little master who turned the world upside down for him? That shootout and murder have something to do with me or what?"
He Xiao's chopsticks fished out half a slice of beef in the pot for a long time, and then looked at Zhang Xuran with a nondescript Beijing accent: "In addition, it's not called a cartoon, it's called Guoman, don't shout if you don't understand?"
"Fart's Guoman, don't do your job, if you really don't have anything to do, make a movie. Zhang Xuran sneered and smiled coldly.
He Xiao was a little confused when he heard this, and asked curiously, "No...... Why do you keep making movies with me?"
In his impression, He Xiao felt that this was not the first time Zhang Xuran had asked him to make a movie.
Zhang Xuran seems to be very persistent in this regard.
When she heard He Xiao's rhetorical question, she paused, then pulled two large mouthfuls of rice, and said inarticulately, "Don't shoot." ”
Maybe it's because Zhang Xuran also has a movie dream, she was silent a lot during the meal, and went home early after eating.
Yanjing City at night is quiet and charming.
He Xiao leaned on the edge of the balcony and looked at the books in the black phone, unconsciously feeling a little sleepy, until the sound of the message vibrating from the other mobile phone made him feel a lot more energetic.
He picked it up and took a look, it was a message from Bao Yuanyuan, he had to go back to the company in the next few days, because the first album produced at the beginning of the year was about to be officially released, and he needed to give the album a name, and then hold a release party and other activities.
In short, I can't be idle for a while.
Although he hasn't had a good rest since returning from abroad, He Xiao is also used to this kind of life.
Celebrities are a profession that tosses back and forth across the country, and if you don't toss one day, you will either be blocked by the company or outdated.
He Xiao didn't want either of these results to happen, so he felt that it was better to toss a little.
"The name of the first album ......"
He Xiao kicked his legs, and the whole person relaxed for a long time, squinting his eyes and muttering.
The first album includes all the songs he performed on "The Voice of Dreams", including "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", "Exaggeration", "A Laugh in the Sea" and so on.
But the theme melody of most of the songs is positive.
Whether it is "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" or "Old Boy", all of them show the bits and pieces of ordinary life.
And then unyieldingly, fighting against this ordinary life to the end, and moving towards the ideal step by step.
It's both ordinary and great.
Thinking with this in mind, He Xiao pondered for a while, and then made a decision in his mind.
The name of the first album might as well be called ...... "Greatness in the Ordinary"!
