"In the case of movies, the investment may be more than that. ”

Yu Entai's reaction, Meng Ke had already expected it.

This old man tasted the sweetness of "Tangshan Earthquake", so he wanted to use the theme of Journey to the West to make a name for himself again while the iron was hot.

But how easy is this to say, tens of millions of points, how much does it cost to multiply it by 10,000 times? Even if "Journey to the West" is much cheaper than the 86 version of "Journey to the West", it is still a sky-high exchange.

"How much does that cost?"

Yu Entai did not give up.

Meng Ke had no choice but to say, "It's probably around a few billion." ”

"More than a billion? Xiao Meng, are you lying to me. Yu Entai was so shocked that his throat was about to burst.

"Hehe, old man, where do I dare to lie to you, this is still according to the budget of the termination, at best, it is just a few clips in Journey to the West,

If the whole thing is filmed, it is estimated that it will be more than tens of trillions. ”

Meng Ke told the truth, paused, and continued, "I know what you're worried about, Guoman's market is currently very sluggish, the whole of China is the world of Daoman, you don't want to spend so much money to invest,

And mine, I don't dare to pat my chest and promise that this cartoon will sell well when it comes out, so I have a plan, do you want to listen to it?"

"What's the plan?"

"The plan is relatively simple, that is, let's not publish cartoons directly, let's publish comics first, see how the market reacts, I have also thought about the platform, on Weibo, the name of Weibo is called 'Draw Comics',

I'll raise the account.,You invest fifty percent as a share.,When the time comes, if it's hot, then let's continue to develop animation.,When the time comes, the fifty percent of the profits will be returned to you.,If it's not hot.,You can't lose anything by investing in this fifty percent.。 ”

Meng Ke told his plan.

Although his report to Yu Entai is based on the cost of the cartoon "Journey to the West", in fact, in the current Chinese market, he does not dare to directly spend money on animation, what if he loses it?

It was smashed with its own golden signboard.

It's better to settle for the next best thing and use comics as a stepping stone first.

Actually,After the first 97 version of the animation "Journey to the West" came out,There have also been related peripheral products,But at that time, Guoman was still in an advantageous position,It can be derived in this way。

But in today's market,Guoman wants such a derivative at a very high cost,Even if it's a cartoon that sells toys,It's also a big risk。

Even the yo-yo, which was once very popular, could only leave the court in the end.

But raising a Weibo account is different, firstly, he is a self-media studio, and it is his job to raise an account to make money, and secondly, Weibo has a high exposure rate, and comics are directly oriented to the market and accept the test of the market.

If it is recognized by everyone, then there is a certain base of comics, and on the contrary, hitting the street has no effect, just cut it off.

With such a market reference, there will be no screenwriters and directors who go to great lengths to fool investors into taking money to invest, and investors don't understand how to lower the investment amount.

So in the end, because of lack of funds, the animation became shoddy.,Problems such as the collapse of the character design in the later stage.,And even if it's good, you don't have to worry about no one watching it when it's playing.。

Thirdly, the time of the comics is faster!

Compared to animation, which needs to be produced, comics only need to use a pen tablet to present the content.

In the previous life, many storyboards in the island manga "One Piece" only took a week, and a simple children's drawing like "Journey to the West" could be completed in a day or two.

In the past, many Chinese painters used Weibo to operate their own brands step by step, similar to "Yipin Sesame Fox", "Little Fox" and "Inhuman", all of which moved from Weibo to manga.

Even after that, many companies specially acquired the Weibo IDs of these painters, or gave money to support them to paint, and after the fire, they won the IP in one fell swoop for adaptation and promotion.

Because there is a foundation, the peripheral products are also selling very well.

Nowadays, there is no such model in Huaxia, all the painters cover their works tightly, like a thief to guard the audience, Meng Ke is going to go the opposite way this time!

"You said so, my old man doesn't agree again, then our New Year's friendship will come to an end, hahahaha. ”

Yu Entai laughed, and was more optimistic about Meng Ke in his heart, this young man is young but he is very thoughtful in doing things, and he will not make people embarrassed, more than two million, and if he loses, he will lose.

Hung up the phone.

Meng Ke began to work on the comic stuff.

First of all, the pen tablet, this is a must-have for painters, I looked around on the shell network, the cheapest is only ninety-nine, and the most expensive is more than two thousand.

Now that we have decided to climb to the top on the road of self-media, it is inevitable to raise an account, and we naturally can't be stingy in terms of tools, ninety-nine is not considered, and two thousand is too expensive.

In a compromise, Meng Ke bought a pen tablet of more than 1,000 or so, which he used for the time being, and then changed it when it didn't work.

After buying a pen tablet, Meng Ke opened the system and found the "Journey to the West" album in the comics, after all, it is already a children's book, so the points purchased are relatively low, only 50 points for one volume.

The complete works are 52 volumes.

Meng Ke temporarily bought a copy and tried to draw on paper.

In a minute or two, a monkey wearing a grass skirt and looking a little weird appeared on the white paper, this is the Monkey King at the beginning, he has not been enlightened, he has no ability, his image is very ordinary, but his face is relatively handsome.

Then there are the images of the Jade Emperor, clairvoyance, Shunfeng Ear, fairies, and so on.

After drawing, Meng Ke didn't paint and put it aside, trying to draw the content, if it was made into an animation, it would take four or five paintings of content for just one episode, but if it was drawn into a comic, it would be relatively simple.

In the first volume, there are only three plots: the birth of the Monkey King, the search for the Water Curtain Cave, and the search for the master.

After all, it belongs to the early Chinese comic works,The lines and characters are relatively simple,Suitable for children under the age of twelve,There are not too many complex lines and backgrounds。

If it's an island country's comics, this volume is estimated to be two paintings.

This is also the reason why most of the Weibo comics that emerged in China later were four-panel comics, and the painting style was also younger, simple, you can draw a little faster, and it will take longer if it is too complicated.

But whether it's a national comic or an island comic, it's usually a weekly update.

In addition to drawing, you also need to do follow-up work such as coloring, filling in dialogues, and so on.

But now Meng Ke just planned to draw a little bit for Yu Entai to see, so as not to make the old man's eyes discredited, so there was no more work except dialogue, narration, etc., and in one afternoon, the first painting was completed.

After packing, Meng Ke handed it over to the courier.

……

on the web.

The video of Meng Ke smashing the car with his bare hands has been spread, looking at the slap print and fist print, the hearts of netizens are about to jump out, that's a car, what a lot of strength!

"Hold the grass. ”

"This ...... I'm going crazy. ”

"Damn, what a lot of strength this is, I thought he was just a literary young man. ”

"Otherwise, how could a person have such great strength? It's crazy. ”

Netizens were stunned.

Fans were stunned too.

Those who used to think that Meng Ke was just a literary and artistic young man were even more jaws about to drop, and even more thought that Gao Heping would beat Meng Ke violently, and his face was pumped.

High peace?

High peace force value?

Gao Heping is a Shaolin lay disciple?

Fuck it!

He also raised a table, Meng Ke is smashing the car!

You can say that you win compared to someone who carries a table and someone who smashes a car? Fools don't believe it.

In addition to being shocked, the video of "smashing the car" was also on the top of the hot search, and at the same time, Gao Heping and Lexus were also on top, the most innocent was Lexus, Meng Ke's bare hands dismantling the car were like slapping their faces.

At the beginning, he said how safe and stable it was, but now it's good, and people will tear it down.

Look at the slap prints, look at the tires that kicked and burst, this is to make their faces ugly and swollen!! Whose car are you demolishing is not good, but you are not going to die!

The CEOs of the Huaxia region are about to cry, and on the day the video broke out, their sales plummeted by 20%, although the reason is still under investigation, but everyone is more aware of it.

You can't resist beating a car with more than 100,000 yuan, can the remaining 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of people resist beating?

I want to cry without tears!

It's not enough to boycott Japanese goods, why did they suffer first?

Naturally, no one cares what the poor CEO of Lexus Huaxia thinks, because at this moment, in addition to being shocked that Meng Ke can dismantle the car with his bare hands, people are more condemning Gao Heping.

The scene where he crashed was also clearly filmed by the media.

After seeing that Meng Ke tried to communicate ineffectively at the beginning, many people were angry.

"This is so high that peace is a bad pen. ”

"That's right, what should I do if I hit someone with my car and have an accident?"

"Damn, if it were me, I would have smashed the other party's car in anger, but unfortunately I didn't have the ability to scare like that. ”

Fifty thousand.

Lakh.

Two hundred thousand.

Condemnation of Gao Heping continued on the Internet.

……

Gao Heping's family.

Gao Heping was also watching today's video on his mobile phone, and when he saw the various comments of netizens on Weibo, his whole face turned red with anger, and his body was trembling, "Meng Ke, I am inseparable from you!!! we are incompatible!!!

……

Home.

Since seven o'clock, Meng Ke's mobile phone has not been disconnected.

Mom, father, grandparents all called him, and asked about one thing, he was hit, why didn't he tell his family, is there anything wrong, etc., and so on.

It was not easy to settle the hearts of several old people, and Meng Ke had the leisure to practice internal strength and stand on the pile.

He has long been accustomed to the hustle and bustle outside, and he is too lazy to waste time on the past things, Yu Entai has not replied yet, he can practice more at this time, if he is really busy after a while, it is film reviews and comics, he may really lack skills.

"It's time to find a few more people. ”

While standing on the pile, Meng Ke thought in his heart.
