Yu family.

Yu Feng, Han Jingyun and Yu Hong's family were drinking tea and chatting with Yu Entai.

"Commander. ”

The housekeeper Lao Yang walked in with a courier.

"What is this?"

Yu Entai took the courier and looked at the sender's name on it, and instantly smiled, "This Xiao Meng is really polite, and he sent me the sample." ”

"Dad, are you working with Meng Ke again?" asked Yu Feng.

Although Meng Ke is a talented young man in his heart, and his weight is only above the rookie, but with the pearl of "Tangshan Earthquake" in front, he has no opinion on the old man continuing to cooperate with Meng Ke.

But what kind of project is it this time?

He was a little curious.

"Yes, we talked about it yesterday, this Xiao Meng is really ambitious, and he wants to remake "Journey to the West", well, this is the budget he called me today," Yu Entai handed the budget report on the table behind him to Yu Feng.

"Fifty-two million?"

Yu Feng nodded, and he didn't have much of an expression, "Hmm...... If it is to shoot "Journey to the West", it does need so much money, I heard that Gao Heping spent nearly 10 million budget to make that bad movie. ”

"Journey to the West" is one of the four famous novels.

Among them, there are hundreds of demons and monsters, plus all kinds of fairy godmothers, ninety-nine-eighty-one difficult layout scenes, plus post-editing special effects, more than 50 million is actually not expensive at all.

And if you can shoot it, in addition to making a profit, you will also have a reputation in the future.

So far, many people have been remaking "Journey to the West", but few can really make this epic masterpiece a classic.

Of course, the Journey to the West Association has a certain responsibility for overprotection, but don't the directors and screenwriters who want to move "Journey to the West" have a little responsibility?

What happened to the result of Gao Heping's veteran director filming "Journey to the West"? Isn't it a joke seen by those people in the Journey to the West Association?

In the final analysis, no one can control Journey to the West, and those old scholars of the Journey to the West Association saw this and behaved stubbornly.

So it's a challenge and an opportunity.

If it succeeds, it will be a famous Chinese entertainment, it doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed, anyway, there are more people who fail, and they don't care about their family, more than 50 million is a little expensive, but you can also try.

With "Tangshan Earthquake", Yu Feng still believes in Meng Ke very much.

"He can't compare to us. ”

Yu Entai opened the file bag, took out the A4 paper inside, looked at it seriously, and said to Yu Feng casually.

"Also, that Journey to the West filmed by Gao Heping is not yet said, I can't wait to hit my head and die when I watch it in the cinema, it's really ugly. Yu Hong spoke, and the memory of that day made her shudder.

More than an hour of torture, it's terrifying!

"Dad, are we going to make a movie this time? Or a TV series?" Han Jingyun asked, more than 50 million, it is indeed a little expensive to invest in movies, but if it is a TV series, it is very cost-effective.

"Neither,"

After reading it, Yu Entai smiled and handed the sketch in his hand to Han Jingyun, "Xiaoyun, take a look, how is this painting?"

Han Jingyun took the draft and looked through it carefully.

There are more than a dozen pages on the A4 paper, the first page is painted with a monkey, a chubby Jade Emperor, a fairy and two ugly-looking supporting characters, and then the second page, on top of which is written "The Monkey is born".

This is followed by a simple dialogue, "A long, long time ago, there was a piece of land on the land of China, called the country of Aolai, and there was a divine stone in the country that absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon......"

At the end of the narration, here's what the drawing is about.

The sea, the crane, a stone, the next shot, the stone cracks, and a monkey comes out of it.

Above the clouds, the heavenly palace shook, and the Jade Emperor panicked and let the ugly supporting characters, clairvoyance and Shunfeng Ear go to check the situation in the nether realm, and after a dialogue, the picture returned to the human world, where a little monkey was being chased by a wild boar.

Running and shouting for help, the stone monkey immediately rushed over and used his wits to attract the boar to him and make him fall off a cliff.

At the same time, in front of a waterfall, the old monkey was choosing the monkey king, claiming that whoever could enter the back of the waterfall was the monkey king, and the two monkeys tried in vain, and the stone monkey came to the monkey group under the leadership of the little monkey.

I heard the old monkey say that whoever can enter the back of the waterfall should try it immediately.

After some attempts, the stone monkey entered the back of the waterfall, and in the process of investigation, he saw a stone with the words "Huaguo Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Cave Sky", and then the old monkey plucked the monkey king to learn the art......

Han Jingyun read "Journey to the West" I don't know how many times, and Yu Hong told it many times later, so I am familiar with the above content, this is the plot of the first few chapters of "Journey to the West".

Merely......

"The story is good, but the art style is simple, a bit like a children's work. ”

Han Jingyun handed the manuscript to Yu Feng and honestly expressed his opinion.

"What do you think of the animation effect of adapting this?" Yu continued to ask.

"Animation?"

Han Jingyun subconsciously glanced at Yu Feng, and Yu Feng was also looking at her.

The two glanced at each other,Yu Feng said,"Dad,Now the domestic Guoman market is sluggish,This style of painting is too simple,Is there any characteristic?,It looks like a child's stick figure,

Can anyone watch such an adaptation as an anime?"

"But today Xiao Meng told me that investing more than 50 million yuan in animation will have good results, and I also agreed, first invest more than 2 million yuan to turn it into a comic and give it a try, so that I will make a decision later. ”

"More than two million, comics, Dad, you ......"

Yu Feng is almost speechless, this is crazy, a comic has an investment of more than 2 million? Is this a painting of a thousand gold? Forget about the movie, there is "Tangshan Earthquake", but what the hell is this comic?

Gritting his teeth, Yu Feng said ruthlessly, "I don't agree, the investment in comics is up to 500,000, and it is not necessary to talk about everything if it exceeds the budget." ”

Money is not caught in the wind, you have to save some money.

"Heh, you kid has stiff wings now, why do you want to take care of my own money?" Yu Entai's face changed.

The atmosphere in the entire small bedroom instantly dropped to freezing point, Han Jingyun nervously pulled Yu Feng and asked him to talk to the old man in a different way, but Yu Feng ignored him, and Yu Hong next to him was also stupid.

She is a junior, she can be arrogant in front of her grandfather, but she never dares to be presumptuous in front of her parents.

"Dad, you are taking the company's account, and I have the right to take care of this matter. ”

"Who told you that I was going to take the company's accounts? Can't I even take out more than two million alone?"

Yu Entai stood up, "I see that you have hard wings and want to tie up my bad old man, I have already decided on this matter, and I have already let Lao Yang play the contract, and let Xiaohong bring the money over tomorrow,

Even if I fail, I'll admit it!"

In fact, Yu Entai still hesitated in his heart today.

More than two million, he is a little painful to go to the company's account, the comic market is now smashing one and losing one, but he is a strong person, if Yu Feng's attitude is slightly better, there is still room for rotation in this matter.

But this bastard boy vetoed his dad in one bite.

He has lived for more than 90 years, doesn't he even have this bit of discernment? When his stubborn temper came up, Yu Entai directly said that there was no room for maneuver, but more than two million, and he could afford to lose!

……

Monday.

Half past eight in the morning.

Meng Ke's courier arrived.

He didn't send a message when he came in the morning, and just went upstairs into the studio The news came, and there was no way, so he had to go down again.

"What did you buy?"

Shen Jiajia came over, and Song Lang also looked at them curiously, biting the straw in his mouth and not moving.

"Pen tablet. ”

"What's it for?" Shen Jiajia continued to ask.

"Draw. ”

"You can also draw?"

Shen Jiajia's eyes widened, and she looked at Meng Ke as if she had discovered a new world.

"That has to be. ”

Meng Ke came up with a sigh of relief, "Do you want to draw one for you now?"

"Okay. ”

Shen Jiajia ran to the workstation and took out a paper and pen and put them in front of Meng Ke, and Song Lang also leaned over to look at Meng Ke.

"I'll draw you a monkey. ”

"Journey to the West", which took half a day yesterday, now Meng Ke has a good grasp of the anime image of Sun Wukong, that is, he can draw it without thinking about it, and after brushing it twice, a monkey appeared on the white paper.

Crunch

The studio door opened.

"Morning. Yu Hong pushed the door in, "Have you eaten?"

"I'm eating, and there's a cup of milk tea, Xiaohong, do you want to drink it?" asked Shen Jiajia.

"Yes. ”

Yu Hong took off his coat and put it away, walked over and sat next to Song Lang with a file bag, pinched Song Lang's face and asked, "Lang Lang, do you miss me?"

Song Lang squinted, "No." ”

"Nasty. ”

Yu Hong snorted lightly and didn't tease Song Lang, took the hot milk tea in his hand, and tilted his head to look at the A4 paper on the table while warming his hands, "Huh, isn't this Sun Wukong?"

Oh yes, give, boss,"

She pushed the contract in front of her to Meng Ke, "This is what my grandfather gave you, I really can't see it, boss, you can paint, and you can paint so well, my grandfather said, he agreed to your painting of "Journey to the West" out of his own pocket,

Just sign the contract to me. ”

"Journey to the West?"

Shen Jiajia shouted, "Senior, you want to shoot "Journey to the West"?"

Song Lang didn't speak, but he also used his eyes and demeanor to convey the shock in his heart, Journey to the West?

"It's not a shooting, it's a painting, temporarily showing the content of "Journey to the West" in the form of a comic," explained, Meng Ke asked Yu Hong, "Yu Lao's personal pocket?"

What do you mean?"

"It means private,"

Yu Hongzha opened the milk tea and took a sip, "My dad didn't agree to invest in comics and didn't take the company's account, my grandfather was angry, so he paid for it privately, but I believe that your boss will not let me and my grandfather down." ”

“……”

"What's wrong, boss?"

"It's okay, I just don't think the old man has to be like this. ”

Meng Ke said with a faint feeling in his heart, although he wanted this Chinese person to see the correct way to open "Journey to the West", but if Yu Entai didn't invest, he wouldn't say anything.

After all,It's not a day or two since the Guoman market is sluggish,He won't force it。

But now, the old man would rather pay out of his own pocket to support himself, so ...... What else is there to do not try?
