Hearing Ling Zhou enter the theme, Xue Ya, Shao Anmin, Desi, Fang Yue and others also put down the tableware in their hands and listened carefully.

"The story of this animated film is set in a metropolis that blends Eastern and Western cultures. Well, let's put this background in Lan Ling. In the setting, in this metropolis, there is a little prodigy who is proficient in robotics and discovers that this city full of high-tech is experiencing a crime crisis. In order to debunk the conspiracy and save his home, he will bring his partner robot Dabai and a group of rookie teams to form a rookie alliance to fight together against evil. ”

Ling Zhou recounted softly with his memories.

He modified this setting a little.

According to the original book, the story background of "Super Marines" should be a combination of "San Francisco, USA" and "Tokyo, Japan", a metropolis called "Old Kyoyama".

It's just that this movie has no dime to do with the United States and Japan in this world.

There is no Disney in this world, and there is no Don Hall, and there is no Chris Williams. There is no original book, a science fiction comic from Japan, so this movie is naturally attributed to Lanling's domestic production.

Listening to Ling Zhou's narration, Desi and Fang Yue fell into deep thought.

One of them is a screenwriter and the other is an animation director, and they are soon immersed in the scenes of the story depicted by Ling Zhou.

As for Xue Ya and Shao Anmin, they sat dry. They understand the company's operations and market trends. But if it's a technical problem, they're out of business.

Ling Zhou took a sip of milk from the cup, and was not in a hurry, silently waiting for the two to come back to their senses.

In fact, the movie "Super Marines", in his world, is not a particularly popular movie.

In terms of box office, that is, the performance is acceptable.

If memory serves, in the previous life on Earth, this movie was released in November 2014.

He didn't remember the exact number. But he remembers that on the first day of the animated film's release, the total revenue in 3,761 theaters was $15.83 million, and it was the runner-up in a single day.

The three-day box office reached $56.2 million, and 29% of the film's weekend box office came from 3D screens. Revenue in a few overseas markets, such as Russia, was $23 million.

He vaguely remembered that the animated film "Super Marines" should have a total global box office of $600 million.

No, it's $700 million, right?

He can't remember exactly how much, but it shouldn't be less than 600 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 4 billion when converted into Lan Ling coins.

This box office is not low.

But compared to those classic films that are really popular, it is still a little far behind.

"Regarding the main character, it is set up as a 14-year-old mechanical prodigy, and I named him 'Xiao Hong'. He has a genius mind, and he has developed advanced combat robots that dominate underground fighting in San Francisco. He has an older brother named Teddy, who encourages him to challenge himself and helps him get into the Polytechnic School of Lanling University. However, at a science and technology exhibition held by the college, a tragedy changed all that. After that, Hiroshi befriends with a robot named 'Big White' and gradually grows into a core member of the high-tech hero six, completing a difficult task. This is the general plot of the whole story, and the specific plot content needs to be supplemented by you professionals. ”

Ling Zhou said.

With his voice, Des quickly took out a pen and paper to record.

"Your Highness, this story is very interesting. ”

Des said with a smile.

"Yu Yin, show Fang Yue the image of 'Da Bai', and in the movie, that image is also used. ”

Ling Zhou said to Yu Yin on the side.

Yu Yin nodded and said, "In my room, I'll go get it." ”

With that, she got up and left the restaurant.

Watching Yu Yin leave, Ling Zhou looked at Des and continued: "Regarding the setting of the robot 'Dabai', it is a 'personal health assistant' robot ......"

He briefly introduced the functions of Dabai.

I remember in my previous life, the oversized 'inflatable robot' in the movie was actually a medical companion.

It is so powerful that it can detect the vital index of a human with a simple scan. And depending on the patient's level of pain, almost all diseases are treated.

In the film, the meticulous and innocent Dabai is a hero and a best friend to Xiaohong.

After a series of exquisite transformations such as 'rocket fist gloves and super strength', Dabai has become a super general in the 'Super Marine Corps'.

Listening to Ling Zhou's narration, Des's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Your Highness, it's an interesting setting. ”

Des said with a smile.

Ling Zhou smiled, "This animated movie, called "Super Marines", is also in line with the idea of the movie. ”

Des nodded and made a note of it.

At this time, Yu Yin walked over.

She handed over the drawings.

Ling Zhou took it and glanced at it, and laughed. This is not the one he painted, the 'big white' image in this image is more delicate and fuller.

He knew that it was Yu Yin's own drawing.

"Take a look. ”

Ling Zhou said to the two Des.

Des hurriedly got up and took the drawings, and when he saw the image of the cute big fat man on the drawing paper, he was suddenly a little confused, which was completely different from what he imagined!

This is the 'medical companion robot' narrated by His Highness?

Des Fameng, and Fang Yue on the side glanced at it, but said: "Your Highness wants to set the robot 'Da Bai' to be that cute image?"

"Not bad. ”

Ling Zhou nodded and said, "The robots in this movie don't need to be cold and unkind. Instead, it needs to be cute, empathetic, and able to please the audience. You should pay more attention to this point when designing. ”

I remember my previous life, the medical inflatable robot Dabai in the film carried out the cute image to the end, and finally became one of the cutest images in the hearts of fans around the world.

In this world, he wouldn't change that.

What he wants to change is just some background.

"Your Highness, I have written all this, and I will write the script as soon as possible. ”

Des didn't bother too much, since His Highness asked for it to be written like this, then write it like this. And he hadn't tried to write it that way, he just wanted to try it.

Perhaps, this is a breakthrough?

Ling Zhou nodded and said, "Fang Yue, you have to communicate more." My requirement is not only to write the script, but also to show the image, personality, and temperament of all the characters in the script perfectly in the animation. This is not a live-action performance, just invite some actors with good acting skills. ”

"Understood. ”

Fang Yue nodded solemnly.

"It's good to understand. ”

Ling Zhou nodded, and said: "Now that the global animated film market is sluggish, the box office generally does not exceed 200 million US dollars. Perhaps, this movie will give this market a shot in the arm, you have to be careful. ”

Ling Zhou looked at the two of them and said.

"Understood. ”

Fang Yue and Desi nodded solemnly.

"And ......"

Ling Zhou looked at Xue Ya and Shao Anmin, and said, "The main purpose of making this animation is to promote a technological product, and you have to use some heart." Don't worry about the cost, I just want the quality, and if the funds are insufficient, just mention it to me. I will ask Yuanzhou Group to provide you with financial assistance. ”

Nowadays, Jiahang Group has a lot of projects to carry out.

For example, "Jiahang Theme Park", the mobile game "Glory of Kings", the operation of "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck" in the next video, and the "Mickey Mouse"-themed movies and so on.

These are all fund-taking.

There are also a lot of places to burn money to make "Super Marines".

As far as he knows, Disney's investment in this movie in his previous life seems to have reached $165 million.

165 million US dollars, which is not a small amount for the current Jiahang.

"Yes. ”

Xue Ya and Shao Anmin nodded, and they were not polite to this.

Jiahang Group's capital flow is indeed not very good.

It's just that, with this huge Yuanzhou group and the prince as their backing, they have never worried about this. Therefore, in every business, it is a lot of money, and never sparing costs.

"Your Highness, can you ask, which technology product is mainly promoted? I fortunately described it in the script. ”

Des said.

Ling Zhou smiled, stood up, and said, "Of course it's our 'Great White'." ”

After saying that, he glanced at Yu Yin and walked out.

Yu Yin also quickly got up and followed.

And in the restaurant, Des, Fang Yue, Xue Ya and others were blindsided again. They looked at the drawing paper, the big fat man, the scientific and technological products that His Highness wants to promote, is this big guy?

Is Your Highness going to be a 'doll'?

"Could it be that Your Highness wants to be a robot?"

Shao Anmin tried to ask.

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened.

"Well, these are not our worries, our task now is to do this animated film well, to be the most perfect, and to get a good box office, which is the key. ”

Xue Ya waved her hand.

Fang Yue and Shao Anmin nodded.

Xue Ya looked at Des again, stretched out her hand, and said, "Mr. Des, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

Des reached out and shook her hand, saying, "It's natural." ”

……

Walking out of the restaurant, Ling Zhou stretched.

Regarding the production cycle of "Super Marines", Ling Zhou estimated that it would take about 1-2 years, so it would take a bit long!

Ling Zhou thought for a moment, turned his head to look at Xue Ya and the others who walked out of the restaurant, and said: "Regarding the production of "Super Marine", it must not only be of good quality, but also fast in speed, I hope it will be released within this year, or early next year." ”

His words made Xue Ya, Fang Yue and the others stunned.

"Your Highness, animation production, there are too many details in it, the estimated cycle, it will take 1 year at the earliest!"

Fang Yue said with some embarrassment.

Ling Zhou waved his hand and said, "I know that with the current technical background of Jiahang Group, it will indeed take a long time, and one year is considered fast. ”

Fang Yue nodded, it was true.

"So, this project can be a multi-party model. ”

Ling Zhou continued: "There are many well-known animation companies in the United States, and their technology is first-class, and Jiahang Group can acquire them, or cooperate. ”

When Xue Ya heard this, she somewhat understood the reason why His Royal Highness asked her and Shao Anmin to come over.

"As for the acquisition, or the partner to work with, you should make a list as soon as possible and come up with a negotiation plan. In a week's time, I will officially enter the negotiation stage. After the script is completed, I want you to complete the preliminary preparations and officially enter the animation production stage. ”

Ling Zhou said lightly.

As he spoke, he looked at Des and said, "I know this is a bit of a big job, but you can also seek cooperation! If there is any difficulty, you can contact Steward Chen, and I will give you some help appropriately. ”

Listening to Ling Zhou's instructions, Desi, Fang Yue and the others glanced at each other, and a touch of helplessness flashed in their eyes.

His Royal Highness is really the same as rumored.,Pursue everything quickly.,But also the pursuit of perfection.。。

For example, the original "Burj Al Arab" was expected to be built in 3 years, but it was compressed to one year.

Fortunately, stimulated by a large amount of US dollars, in a little more than a year, the Burj Al Arab Hotel has gone from nothing to shocking the world and officially entered the business stage.

The production cycle of "Super Marines" this time is expected to be 2 years, but it was compressed to half a year, which is really ......

But they didn't argue with anything.

"Your Highness, we do our best. ”

Desi and Fang Yue said solemnly.

"Well, just do your best. ”

Ling Zhou nodded, he was determined to let Fang Yue and them complete the production of "Super Marines" within half a year, and if they couldn't finish it, they would be punished or something.

He just wanted to give them a little nervousness.

Even if it was delayed for a few months, it would be forgivable.

"Your Highness, if this is the case, then our investment will be even greater. ”

Xue Ya said helplessly.

Whether it is an acquisition or a cooperation between all parties, it is necessary to pay US dollars in exchange. Jiahang Group is currently in the development period and has few profit points.

"It doesn't matter, the financial backing of this project is Yuanzhou Group. ”

Ling Zhou waved his hand.

No matter what project he did, he never cared about funding.

With $20 billion in money lying in his account, does he need to worry about the funds?

Originally, he only had about $10 billion, but the last time he shorted the oil market and made a big profit, his personal funds doubled.

Note that it is personal funds, not assets.

For example, the assets of companies under Lingzhou's name, such as 'Jiahang Group, Zhangqu Interactive Entertainment, Dolphin Live, Truffle Pavilion, and Burj Al Arab', are not counted.

Now forget it, it's all cash.

However, he has a lot of money, but he also spends a lot.

For example, it invests more than 1 billion US dollars in the "Yuanzhou Charity Foundation" every year.

Hearing Ling Zhou's promise, Xue Ya's face was overjoyed, and she was completely relieved.

"Thank you, Your Highness. ”

Xue Ya responded.

With Yuanzhou Group as the financial backing, she doesn't need to worry about anything, she can let go and do this project. If the box office of "Super Marines" is okay by then, it may also better enhance the influence of Jiahang Group.
