"What are you afraid of, I'll carry the biggest pot anyway. ”

"But I can't control you, the pot that let you squander it is mine!" Shu Shu pleaded, "Please, don't break through 200 million again, okay?"

"Twenty and twenty million. ”

Shu Shu really wanted to cry: "The board of directors is already in a hurry...... You can't add to the budget so indefinitely......"

"They've seen the clip, aren't they satisfied?"

According to what you said, the final investment is 220 million, plus the direct publicity and distribution will be 250 million, don't forget that the box office is also shared with the theater chain to pay taxes, and finally it has to be shared with you personally, we have already calculated, the box office is 400 million to return to the cost, and 600 million is qualified! "Your Name" is less than 600 million!

"Come, drink tea. ”

"......" Shu Shu sighed, took a sip of tea, and persuaded hard, "Li Yan, do you know what you're doing? It will take 600 million for you to be considered not in vain. It takes 400 million to avoid being scolded to death. It will take more than 200 million before it is possible for someone to invest in you again. So far, there are no more than ten domestic animations that have exceeded 100 million, and eight of them are children's "Happy Yangyang" and "Bear Out"!"

"Alright, don't worry. Li Yan leaned forward slightly, "Do you remember why you want to invest in me?"

Shu Shu had to admit: "You...... Amazing......"

"Not only that, but I've developed the talent of the whole team. Li Yi pointed to the busy work area outside the lounge, as a top director, screenwriter, producer, special effects artist, he always spares no effort to impart his knowledge, "This is something valuable, even if it fails this time, they are strong enough to produce a low-cost children's animation in a short period of time, I will give my equity and give the studio directly to your animation division." ”

"......," Shu Shu pondered for a moment, "this article is written in the contract for the supplementary budget. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Okay, I'm going to try to use this to convince the boss above to invest more. Shu Shu's mood finally calmed down a bit, took another sip of tea, and then looked at the stunned Li Xuan, "It is said that ...... During the whole process, you didn't skip a single class?"

"Well, I'm already an example of an artist, and I can't skip classes or take a leave of absence to do these things, which will wrongly encourage people who are not talented to abandon their studies and delay their lives. ”

Shu Shu looked at the few white hairs that existed in a trance on Li Yan's head: "There is always such an inexplicable persistence, it's very tiring......"

"No, it's an exploration of life, and I'm getting closer to the next truth. Li Yan put down the teacup and got up and said, "220 million is really the final amount, it will not be added, and it can also be written in the contract." ”

"Where's the Dead-line?"

"No change. Li Yan nodded and said, "After the Spring Festival, the film will be given for inspection." ”

"Good work. Shu Shu couldn't help but have respect from the bottom of her heart, and bowed her head slightly, although she was always forcing Li Yan on her lips, it was impossible not to admire this kind of perversion in her heart.

"You've worked hard too. Li Yan stretched his waist and returned to production.

In fact, throughout the production process, Li Yan forbade himself to intervene at the artistic level, even if he was a top screenwriter, he only changed the story structure, but did not move the content; even if he was a top painter, he only checked the original manuscript and synthesis, and did not interfere with the artistic style; musically, he also respected the aesthetic style of his collaborator Pu Shu, and only shook his head at the overly gloomy sense of music.

Because he knows very well that he doesn't understand popularity, only skills, if he insists on going his own way, the final product will inevitably face failure in the market, market success is the foundation of everything, what he can do is to make the whole film more perfect and gorgeous.

Like poisonous chicken soup, it never makes the truth, only reveals the truth.

Fortunately, a strong gene pool allows him to select outstanding symbiotes with all kinds of talents, and the symbiotes work well with each other and have full respect for him as a director, which makes the production of the whole animation far more efficient than expected.

……

On the first day of work after the Spring Festival, in the small screening room of the Rich Goose Film Building, Shu Shu and other directors and executives of other departments of the film industry watched the sample film together, at first everyone was still chatting about various things, but from the first time the magical music played by unknown instruments sounded, they all subconsciously stopped talking, and watched the movie with full attention, which lasted until the end of the film.

Because the end credits have not yet been made, the film is frozen in the last frame.

Before I knew it, an hour and a half had passed.

After watching the last frame in a daze for a long time, the film boss rubbed his eyes and turned to look at Shu Shu in a daze.

"Is the music album linked to our music department?"

"I'm sorry......" Shu Shu looked at the boss's expression and said, "Because of Pu Shu's personal reasons, he insisted on releasing it on the music platform with a heart, because Li Xuan and Pu Shu are too individual, and it is difficult for us to make public relations." ”

"Well...... the boss said after thinking about it for a while, "There's no way, only through Li Yi and Pu Shu to communicate indirectly with Youxin, this album must be released about a week before the film schedule, pure music, is already an excellent gimmick, but it is inconvenient for us to negotiate directly with Youxin, and the people on the music side will have opinions." ”

"......Understood," Shu Shu suddenly exclaimed, "What do you mean...... This sample is enough to be submitted for review???"

"There's really no reason to ask for anything more. The boss nodded solemnly and said, "This movie must detonate the storm of this year, and spare no resources to publicize it." ”

"That's right...... It is best to control the publicity and distribution cost of our budget within 30 million...... Too much has been invested in this project......"

"Then bet bigger. ”

Smith was right. The director of publicity and distribution encouraged him, "There are too few movies that can let us watch together, except for laughing and crying, without saying a word." ”

"Thank you Shu Shu, you shouldn't have questioned you and Li Hao so much at first. ”

"The fly in the ointment is ...... The copyright of most of the music belongs to Pushu and Hearts Music ......"

"On their platform, this kind of concert is more popular. ”

"Okay, everything about this movie, let's not reveal the slightest thing to the outside world, and all departments must fully support the review, scheduling and publicity of "Millennium Knot". The boss had already gotten up in his chair, "It's February...... Hurry up the process and catch up with the May 1st gear. ”

"Isn't it more stable to pursue summer files or protection months?"

"I can't wait, this year's film festival is scheduled for the summer, and it will be fermented before, and the May Day show is relatively less intense. ”

"Wait...... "Publicity and distribution director pondered, "If I'm not mistaken, "Journey to the West" has been announced to be set for May Day." ”
