"Do you want us to invest?" Meng Xiaobai deliberately made a surprised tone and said, "It's equivalent to saying that we don't make a penny, and we still want to invest in you?"

In fact, he has long wanted to invest in the other party, one is to trust their own special effects, and the other is to think that the other party's film production is not bad. The most critical point is that you can't really make much money doing special effects with them, so it's better to invest in movies, and if the box office explodes, you can make a wave.

I thought so in my heart, but Meng Xiaobai must let the other party say it, so that he can have the initiative to negotiate conditions!

"Mr. Meng, listen to me!" Shui Dumpling explained, "Now our total investment is only 60 million! We can count your part of the special effects production cost as 6 million! As long as our movie has 150 million, it will not lose money!"

"This "Demon Boy Nezha", I bet it can get 300 million box office! It can even reach the level of 500 million in "White Snake", if it explodes and reaches 900 million in "The Great Sage", it will make a lot of money!"

"You said it simply, don't think I don't know how many movies are going to hit the streets in a year!" Meng Xiaobai retorted.

"There is a risk to be rewarded!" Dumplings spared no effort to promote their works, Meng Xiaobai struggled with him for a while, and then said: "Then I'll reluctantly think about it." ”

"Also, our special effects work is only worth six million?

"Six million is enough, otherwise other investors will be dissatisfied!" said Dumpling.

"Then you didn't do those wonderful special effects shots at the end?" Meng Xiaobai asked.

"What? You mean, the special effects shot of Nezha and Ao Bing resisting the catastrophe together in the end?" Dumpling asked in surprise, that scene was according to his idea.

It is the historical background of the entire earth that is rapidly flowing in time, the stars are changing, the sun and the moon are changing, and the birth of life is silent again!

Because this shot was too difficult and the production cost was too high, Dumplings and other producers had already decided to give up, and Meng Xiaobai brought it up again at this time.

"Of course!" Meng Xiaobai said.

"This ...... Can you make it?" Dumplings certainly hoped that his idea would come true, but five special effects companies had already rejected his request.

"Yes!" Meng Xiaobai replied affirmatively.

"Okay! Great! As long as it can be made, of course the investment amount of the work can be increased! Who doesn't agree with me talking to him!" Dumpling said loudly, his voice full of surprise.

The dumplings really did not disappoint Meng Xiaobai, and after his strong insistence, the production team of "Demon Boy Nezha" decided to make Deep Space Digital an investor, and the investment amount was calculated according to the cost of special effects works.

Deep Space Digital, on the other hand, will finish all their remaining special effects shots, and improve and enrich the details of the original special effects scenes, and this set of costs will be calculated for them to be 10 million!

Ten million, that sounds like a lot. But for movie special effects, it's not much, those blockbusters, sometimes a dozen seconds of special effects shots cost this money! "Demon Boy Nezha" is an animated movie, so the cost is less.

In this way, Meng Xiaobai suddenly became one of the investors in this animated film, and he was also a big investor in one-seventh of the total investment amount!

After becoming an investor in the film, Meng Xiaobai became more interested in the production of special effects, and he even found time to personally go into battle to guide the production of difficult scenes.

Originally, the producers thought that it would take three months to complete the task, but Deep Space Digital only took half a month to complete it! And the finished product was even better than expected!

The producer also can't wait to improve the film, and in more than a month, it passed the review as quickly as possible, and it is ready to be released!

In the past two months, the data marketing team arranged by Meng Xiaobai has also achieved some results. Their self-made ad delivery system has been well received by advertisers.

The marketing team took the opportunity to launch the "personal advertising" model, where groups such as individual e-commerce stores or Internet celebrities can spend their own money to advertise on "Look at Me", and different costs correspond to different promotion models.

Because their ad conversion rate is very high, the number of individuals and businesses willing to advertise on "Look Me" is gradually increasing.

According to the data of the finance department, the company's advertising revenue will be able to level the operating costs next month, and it will be profitable next month!

For a start-up, this is quite rare! Many Internet products have to spend hundreds of millions or billions of dollars before they can barely reach the break-even, but Deep Space Digital does all this without half a year!

......

"Demon Boy Nezha" is about to be released, it is not a festival, nor is it a good day, the release date is an ordinary day.

This is because the producer really has no funds to promote, and no capital to compete with other films, so in order to release it quickly and make money to return to the cost, he has to hurry.

Unfortunately, the movie "Magic Capital Fortress", which is known as a big production, the light of domestic science fiction movies, and the king of traffic, will also be released at the same time. All of a sudden, it caused great competitive pressure on "Demon Boy Nezha"!

Because he is also an investor, Meng Xiaobai has rarely paid attention to the relevant situation.

"There are advertisements for "Magic City Fortress" everywhere these days!" Gao Yuan said when she was eating after work, and the promotional poster of "Demon City Fortress" popped up on her mobile phone interface.

"Super traffic stars, big directors, big productions, adaptations of famous writers......" Gao Yuan took a look and asked: "Mr. Meng, can you compare to this animated movie when you invest in that animated movie?"

"How is it possible!" Gan Huarong shook his head and said, "Animated films, if they can have a box office of two or three hundred million, it is a good result! This is a serious big science fiction movie, not to mention a billion box office!"

"I don't think so!" Meng Xiaobai said, "but we are working on it." Does the starring role of "Fortress of the Magic Capital" have acting skills?"

"It doesn't seem to be. Gao Yuan thought about it and said seriously.

"yes, we'll know when it's released. Meng Xiaobai said.

"Then why don't you advertise!" Gao Yuan asked, "This producer is too poor! I can't see any publicity when I open the movie website!"

"There's no way around it. Meng Xiaobai said helplessly, "The director is also working hard to promote!

Saying that, he showed his mobile phone to Gao Yuan, and on Weibo, the director Dumplings was working Weibo to promote his movies, and the number of people who followed him seemed to be less than a thousand!

"Just like that?" Gao Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said: "The director is really hardworking, I'll see what he posted." ”

On Weibo, the latest news of dumplings: "Next Friday, "Demon Boy Nezha" will be released shockingly! It took five years to build, and the most exciting plot and picture ...... Special thanks to Deep Space Digital Studio for the special effects made for our film, it is amazing!
