Chapter 688: Separation of Commerce and Arts, 3/3
Yue Yi was in the company, and he didn't talk much about those investors, just a very simple sentence.
"We can do our best to meet your requests, but if we want to meet your needs, we need to invest more. ”
"With the amount of investment you have made so far, we are not able to animate the animation you requested. ”
Hearing Yue Yi's words, it was really a bit unexpected by all the representatives of the investors.
Originally, they came here and received a little rumor, knowing that Yue Yi was planning to fight them to the end.
As a result, Yue Yi not only did not have a hard heart, but directly asked for money.
This, this is completely inconsistent with Yue Yi's character setting, why did the style become like this all of a sudden?
After being stunned for a while, a representative of the investor finally came to his senses, and then asked very seriously.
"So, Mr. Yue, how much do you think we should invest in you?"
Yue Yi smiled and tapped the table twice, and then said, "Actually, according to my plan, the entire animation was only an investment of one or two hundred million." ”
"But you have a little bit of what you think, and I hope we can do what you think. ”
"In that case, we have to increase the budget, and I think you should add 10 million to each family. ”
The representatives of the investors present were all stunned, did each increase the investment budget by 10 million?
They looked at each other, and there were a total of eight investors present, each with 10 million or 80 million.
Isn't that crazy? Even if it's a movie by a well-known director, I'm afraid the budget won't be so high, right?
What's more, those movies need to pay for actors, even if the budget is higher, it is worth the money.
The problem is that now Yue Yi has a budget of 80 million for a big animated movie, which is really unexpected.
Finally, a representative of the investor couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Yue, is your budget a little too high?"
Yue Yi replied unusually calmly: "Is it high?" I don't think it's high at all, according to your requirements. ”
"First of all, I need to be the director, and then I need to re-select the theme of all the original paintings and stories. ”
"After that, the production side needs to be at the level of my previous animation, so that's a big expense. ”
"Finally, I know you'd definitely want the voice to be some big name as well, so you'll have to pay for it. ”
"After all this calculation, I think the budget of 80 million is definitely not high, of course, if it is not enough, I will make up the difference for you. ”
When the representatives of the investors present heard the last sentence, they almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Do you think 80 million is not enough? So if you can't use it, do you pay it back?
Without giving this group of investor representatives a chance to speak again, Yue Yi directly issued an eviction order.
"I know that such a big investment requires you to ask for advice, so I won't keep you. ”
"Of course, I'll announce our new animation project in a week's time, so you can think about it later. ”
After that, Yue Yi didn't linger long, directly said goodbye to the group of people present, and got up and left the conference room.
Such an attitude towards Yue Yi really made a group of investor representatives feel even more confused.
I've never seen someone who asks for money and drags like this, it's really unpleasant.
It's just that, even if they are very unhappy, the representatives of these investors are not good at showing themselves at such times.
After all, Yue Yi is very famous now, and the most important thing is that everyone watched the street concert yesterday.
These investment companies have privately calculated, and the income from the live broadcast on the same day alone is afraid that there will be more than one million.
Plus some subsequent copyright income, even if it is necessary to divide the money to those performers.
As the copyright owner of most songs, Yue Yi's direct income must also be the highest.
What really made Yue Yi gain was the improvement of his status and the increase in his global popularity.
In this way, if you want to participate in the animation he makes himself, then the investment will inevitably increase.
Even if several companies are unwilling to participate and are unwilling to give so much money, Yue Yi can go to someone else.
I believe that as long as he throws an olive branch, there will be many people who can't wait to get involved.
Yue Yi returned to his office, turned on the computer, and looked at the plan of today's animated movie.
After thinking for a moment, he clicked on another project that had been hidden by himself earlier and had not been shown to everyone.
I took out the two plans and put them on the computer desktop to compare all aspects, but I didn't make a final decision for a long time.
Soon, the senior executives of the four animation branches who had sent away the representatives of the investors walked in.
Lu Shimiao opened her mouth very directly and asked, "Brother, what do you think? ”
Yue Yi turned his computer screen, clicked on the prepared plan and said, "It's very simple, just let them pay, and we'll make two big animated movies at the same time." ”
The four of them were startled at first, and then carefully looked at another project released by Yue Yi.
After a long time, Fang Dazhuang muttered: "This is indeed an animation that is more in line with the global market, but will there be a conflict between the two together?"
This is actually a concern for others, after all, the production of animation itself is very time-consuming and laborious.
Especially for beautiful animated movies, it takes a lot of people to work together, and it's very hard to get the original picture alone.
And if you want to produce two at the same time, with the manpower of the current animation branch, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to do.
And Yue Yi said very seriously: "Actually, we can do it, we only need to hand over the previous animated movie to the Chinese Painting Academy." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Rui immediately answered and asked: "You mean, you want to use the investor's money to make the current one?"
Yue Yi nodded: "That's right, that's it, let those investors contribute money to produce this new animated film that is more in line with the global market, so that we can free up funds and let the Chinese Academy of Painting slowly produce another one." ”
Then, without waiting for everyone to speak, he continued: "We want to separate business and art for the time being. ”
These words made the people present a little surprised, but they were able to understand Yue Yi's thoughts.
In fact, in order to meet the needs of the global market, use other people's money to make animation for a more commercial market.
At the same time, use your own funds to produce some sophisticated and more artistic animations.
The two are not contradictory, and they are indeed more in line with the development direction of the animation branch after that.
