145 "Journey to the West" cartoon!
He was bitter in his heart, but Meng Ke didn't show much on his face.
In fact, even if he has any performance now, it is estimated that he will be regarded as a shirk, and even more so as to be regarded as an unreliable performance, how can he say that he is not good for a man?
"You told me to go back and do the math. Meng Ke said.
He didn't say think about it, but did the math, that is, the project already had a direction, but now the budget is missing.
Yu Entai's eyes lit up, "Okay, when the time comes, you can call the old man and I'll call you." ”
"Hmm. ”
Nod yes.
Meng Ke already had a certain number in his heart.
The 86 version of "Journey to the West" can't be filmed, but can't the others be filmed yet?
"The Return of the Great Sage", "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West" ......
These are all classic plays, but the price is much less than the 86 version of "Journey to the West", after all, that version has been replayed thousands of times alone, and this is not in the world.
So the question is, is he going to make a movie, a TV series, or ...... Cartoon?
Although the 97 version of the "Journey to the West" cartoon is a few years later than the 86 version, it is also a classic among the classics, and no one can stand side by side with it in later remake animations, which can also be considered.
There were so many thoughts that he had to brush them up.
After agreeing for the time being, Yu Entai got up again to accompany other friends.
Not long after Yu Entai left, Han Jingyun also came over, and the two chatted, the content was relatively simple, they were all polite words of hello, hello, hello, everyone, and a little deeper, it was the car demolition site at the entrance.
However, it is not interesting to talk too much about this kind of thing, so the two of them tacitly turned the words over, and then it was Yu Hong's matter, and Meng Ke once again turned into the head teacher and carried out a wave of business blowing.
The topic was a little awkward, but fortunately, it didn't last long, and Han Jingyun also went to socialize with others.
Next, Zhang Qing and Zhang Chuchu came to greet Meng Ke, everyone in the crew only met before, and then they chatted briefly at the premiere.
Now, they're friends.
Zhang Chuchu's personality is like a boy, he took out his mobile phone and exchanged WeChat with Meng Ke, followed by Zhang Qing and them, several people stood there with their heads down and swept each other, looking a little discordant at the celebration banquet where everyone was chatting and greeting.
"Teacher Meng, I'll pull you into our group, so that you don't have to sweep. ”
When it was Zhang Qingsao's turn, Zhang Chuchu suddenly spoke, although she had a straightforward personality, she was not a person who ignored the eyes of others, and many people on the left and right looked at them when they walked over, and they were ashamed to death.
"Yes, yes, pull Teacher Meng into our group, so that everyone can add Teacher Meng, and like Teacher Chen Shan, they couldn't come today, and they can't add WeChat. Zhang Qing finished scanning the code and put away his mobile phone.
"Do you still have a group?" Meng Ke was surprised.
Zhang Chuchu said with a smile, "Of course, our crew and leading actors, there used to be more than 100 people in the group, but now only a few of us and Director Feng are left, and then a few of us have created a new one." ”
After speaking, Zhang Chuchu sent the group business card to Meng Ke> after Meng Ke clicked it, a prompt that he had been invited to join the group soon popped up, and looked at the group members, Zhang Qing, Zhang Chuchu, Fang Fang, Feng Mou, Chen Mingdao, Chen Shan, Lu Xing, Xiao Ke, Li Jiecheng.
There are really only actors and directors.
"Teacher Meng, let's go over there first. ”
Zhang Chuchu pointed in a completely different direction from Meng Ke, where there were several old actors.
"Good. ”
Meng Ke nodded, and Zhang Chuchu and they left.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the banquet ended, Meng Ke and Shen Jiajia returned home, the chick was tired today, she was frightened at first, then she ate and drank in the banquet, and finally was taken by Yu Hong to visit this private club.
When I got home, I didn't even play with my mobile phone, so I washed and slept directly.
Meng Ke was also a little tired, but he didn't fall asleep directly after washing, but turned on the system to watch several Journey to the West-themed movies that he was considering today.
"The Return of the Great Sage"...... 900,000 points.
"Journey to the West" ...... 200,000 points.
"Journey to the West" ...... 150,000 points.
"Journey to the West" ...... 150,000 points.
"It seems that I guessed correctly, although these movies are all about Journey to the West, they are far less classic than the 86 version of "Journey to the West", and there is no remake.
So the price is not too expensive, it's just that these are movie ......" Meng Ke said with a little regret.
Although the prices of these Journey to the West movies are much lower, it is a problem in terms of time, and he remembers that in his previous life, "The Return of the Great Sage" was filmed for eight years.
And the two movies Journey to the West and Demon Suppression also took two or three years from filming to release, not to mention "Journey to the West", as a classic Journey to the West theme remake, it also took many years.
Except for "The Return of the Great Sage", which consumes a relatively long time, the others basically belong to the normal filming of the movie.
After all, not every movie is like "Tangshan Earthquake", just to be in a hurry and ignore everything, increase investment indefinitely, and basically use money every minute and second.
Therefore, Meng Ke does not have the luxury of expecting his next movie to be released so quickly.
What's more, Yu Feng is not stupid, Yu Entai is not stupid, his body has recovered, what is not lacking is time, and he can slowly grind a work, but ...... What's the point?
Gao Heping has already hit him with a car, is he waiting for the New Year if he doesn't slap his face now?
Who still remembers Gao Heping's "Journey to the West" during the Chinese New Year? Not to mention the New Year, even in another four or five months, no one will remember that Gao Heping made a bad movie, let alone that this bad movie is the theme of Journey to the West.
At that time, will he come up with another Journey to the West theme that will be compared?
No!
The box office is guaranteed, but the effect of slapping the face is not obvious.
So after thinking about it, Meng Ke gave up all these works, the works he wanted could be a little more expensive, but not so slow, the time needed to be compressed, but there could not be any sloppiness in quality.
Thinking about it, Meng Ke found the animated series "Journey to the West".
This is also a classic, which has been the childhood memories of countless people in China, and the whole style of painting is similar to the most classic shadow puppet play "Journey to the West" in China today, but the task is fuller.
I clicked on it and looked at it.
97 version of "Journey to the West" 52 episodes (full) ...... 100 points/set.
"100 points per episode, that is, it takes a million dollars to shoot an episode, and it takes 52 million investment to shoot the whole episode. With a gasp, Meng Ke returned to the system page.
[Name: Meng Ke]
[Anger: 9460.23]
[Chrysostom (blue): 9460.23/10000(0/10)]
【Mall】
[Residual Wealth Value: 677.15]
"Sure enough, this system only counts my own money, and the advertising fee of 35 million has not been recorded, so it is not counted, but the more than 900,000 yuan I sued the company and myself are counted.
But also, the company's money is my money, where else is there so much for you and mine. ”
Saying that, Meng Ke spent 100 points to exchange for the intermediate internal strength method.
[Remaining Wealth Value: 577.15]
Glancing at the data at the bottom, Meng Ke turned off the system, "I really don't know if it is an investment I pulled, whether the system will be counted in it, if not, then it will be over."
No matter what, I can't say that I am not prepared now, let's get the budget right first, and then let's see if Yu Lao will invest, if not, I will think of a way by myself when the time comes. ”
If it was simply to make money, Meng Ke would not be so active.
But if it's a slap in the face of Gao Heping, he's a little interested, this Wang Ba Lizi said all kinds of things on the Internet that he just didn't care, and let the driver hit him, really think he was a good bully?
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Meng Ke gave the budget sheet to Yu Entai.
At noon, Yu Entai's phone came in person.
"Xiao Meng. ”
"Old Yu. ”
"I've read your statement, you need more than 50 million investments?"
On the other end of the phone, Yu Entai was also shocked.
"Tangshan Earthquake" invested 400 million, that was because he was in a hurry, and all manpower and material resources needed money to meet, and he was completely throwing money with his eyes closed, although he has earned it back now, but the net profit is only more than 4 million.
Later, he also examined that if it was auctioned at the normal time and price, the investment would be tens of millions at most, and it would not exceed 100 million.
But now, Meng Ke's pure investment in this statement will cost more than 50 million, and if you add manpower and material resources in the later stage, it will be a lot of money, so after seeing the report, Yu Entai called Meng Ke as soon as possible.
One is to confirm, and the other is to think of it in the future.
He thought that as long as there were a few million, he would be able to shoot it, who knew that it was so expensive, no wonder Meng Kela couldn't invest, he was a rookie screenwriter, even if "Tangshan Earthquake" was successful.
But only the second film will attract more than 50 million investments, and it is estimated that there are few interested people.
Expecting Yu Entai to ask this, Meng Ke smiled bitterly, "Old Yu, to be precise, it is 52 million to invest, because in the future, I don't know how much additional investment is needed." ”
"Then you ...... return"
"You can rest assured, you will never lose out! and absolutely classic. Meng Ke is full of confidence, "Tangshan Earthquake" is proof, he has nothing to be afraid of now, and the classics of his previous life are the classics here.
There was silence on the other end of the phone, but it was only a few seconds, and Yu Entai's voice came again, "Okay, I'll take this money, you tell me first, what are you going to shoot next?"
What do you need me to prepare? But first of all, Xiao Meng, this is still my director. ”
"This ...... Probably not. ”
Meng Ke cruelly rejected Yu Entai's request, and without waiting for the other side to speak, he reluctantly continued to speak, "Because this time, I plan to make an animated film, and the entire animation has 52 episodes, and you may not be able to be a director." ”
Animation is different from live-action films, it not only requires the skillful use of lenses, but more importantly, the understanding of painting, after all, the protagonist is not a real person, and if you don't have painting skills, you may not be able to do animation at all.
He understands Yu Entai's feelings, but he is not qualified to be the director of "Journey to the West".
"What? Cartoons, you're not making movies anymore?"
Yu Entai's whole body trembled, and he almost fell off the sofa without a heart attack.
Animation?
52 million starting investment?
You're going crazy!
What state do you think I don't know? You're treating me like an old fool!
