"Movies?"

Su Jin expressed doubts about his idea, "Didn't you say that you still have a movie waiting to be made next?" Han Sanping mentioned the main theme movie Du An also told her, so she knew.

Du Ping expressed concern about his physical state, "You just buy something, what kind of movie are you making? Take a good rest when you have time, I see that you are always busy with work and have no time to rest, what should you do if you are tired." ”

Duan Zhijie expressed his objection from another direction, "Xiao An, I've been doing it in Industrial Light and Magic for a while, and I still know a little bit about your industry. ”

There were so many questions that Duane had to answer them one by one.

He first answered Su Jin's doubt, "There is a movie waiting to be made next, but the movie I want to make this time is different, it is an animated film." Although I have never been in contact with this field before, we are all directors, and there are still commonalities, and I have heard a little about it, and I know a little bit about it. ”

He thought about it, and seeing that he wouldn't be able to eat for a while, he simply put down his chopsticks and continued: "When the time comes, I will find someone to co-direct with me, I'll just do a co-ordination and grasp the general plot direction, rhythm and character image, and I'll discuss other things with the other director first, and after determining the specific details and styles that need to be paid attention to, I plan to hand over this movie to him to do slowly, and I'll go around when I have time to check the progress." Anyway, according to my current plan, this movie will be done for at least two or three years, and if some of them are done, they can't be in a hurry. ”

In fact, he doesn't know much about animated films.

Even his painting skills were specially practiced during the filming of "The Terminator", otherwise, he would really not even be able to draw a storyboard, let alone determine the drawing style, character image and other specific matters.

After talking to Su Jin, he looked at Du Ping again and explained: "Sister, it's still what I just said, I plan to do this movie slowly, otherwise even if I get out now, my nephew can't understand it when he was born, and he can't understand the words." ”

"Also, I'll find someone to co-direct with me, and I'm going to leave most of the things to him, so even if I make this film, it won't affect my rest time, so you really don't need to worry. ”

In the end, Du An's looked at Duan Zhijie, smiled, and said: "Brother-in-law, why do you just think about input and not output? In fact, movies still make a lot of money, otherwise how could so many people invest in the film industry and compete to throw money into it? ”

In fact, Duan Zhijie thinks that millions are still shallow, if he wants to make this cartoon, he doesn't have tens of millions, don't think about it at all, hundreds of millions are also very possible, and you have to think specifically about the current animation market.

Seeing that what Duane said was a bit facety, well-organized, and all aspects were taken into account, the three of them did not continue to ask questions.

In fact, Duane dreamed of cartoon-like scenes when he was dreaming, such as the movie about love, responsibility and learning, which he is talking about now, is a dream that left a deep impression on him.

There are two reasons for this: first, this is a new field for him, and he likes the freshness brought by new things; second, his industry has only one special effects company, and his business ability is too thin, and his ability to resist risks is poor。

That's right, if he wants to make this cartoon, he directly plans to buy a company to shoot it himself, and he does have the money now.

Most of Duane's money is earned from "Pretty Woman", including last year's box office dividends and the income from the family market, movie soundtracks and peripheral products that are still flowing in, all of which are added up to about 250 million after tax. Among them, his acquisition and investment in Industrial Light and Magic reached 82 million, and the total cost of "One Flew Over the Asylum" and "The Terminator" was 60 million and 90 million respectively, and he was half of the money with DreamWorks, so in the two movies, he invested a total of 75 million, which added up to 150 million, and other money such as buying a house, providing funds to open a store, and daily expenses have not been counted, and those are all small heads, all of which add up to less than five million.

To sum up, that is to say, Duane now has about 100 million working capital in hand, this money is enough to buy a small animation company, and start the project Although the animation is very expensive, all of it is not necessarily enough to do 100 million, and he has to take out part of the 100 million to acquire the company, at most only tens of millions can be used to implement the project, but the animation project is a gradual and slow process of burning money, and the cycle is long, so you can make additional investment while doing it.

100 million is a big number in 1 year, but in 3 years, it is a completely different feeling, and it is only more than 30 million per year.

As for the main theme movie advocated by Han Sanping and requiring him to bring 100 million funds into the game......

Anyway, it seems that the movie should be launched half a year later, and by that time, the box office dividends of "One Flew Over the Asylum" have already come down, and maybe even the box office dividends of "The Terminator" have come down, provided that "The Terminator" recovers its costs, and if it is supported by the dividends of these two films, the supply of this amount of funds is not a problem.

After all, the global box office of "One Flew Over the Asylum", calculated according to the estimated value, after deducting various messy expenses such as special taxes and fees for films, theater commissions, theater commissions, etc., Duane's dividends on this can reach 1780 million, and there are still 780 million left after bringing 100 million into the game.

"No,"

Du Ping shook her head again, "No, no, no, still no." You said it wouldn't affect your rest time, but you couldn't do nothing, right? She still understands this younger brother, and knows that once he starts doing things, he will be very serious, and he will never deal with things so-so, and he will still do what he should do, so I believe it will take a lot of time.

Du An saw that Du Ping's attitude was very resolute, so he had to say his other thoughts, "...... In general, that's it. This is also a step that I must take to increase the company's ability to resist risks and make the company a group, as for the company after I get the company down, I will make a film first, on the one hand, to give a gift to my nephew, on the other hand, it is also to make a name for myself, after all, your brother is still a little popular in the circle now. ”

Hearing Du An's words, Du Ping finally agreed to Du An's decision, and Su Jin and Duan Zhijie didn't say anything more, but asked curiously about this film.

"Do you already have an idea for this movie?"

After hearing Su Jin's question, Du An's reply: "It tells the story of a little lion who grew up, experienced the help of friends, relatives and lovers, and finally understood love and responsibility, and successfully avenged his father. ”

Su Jin listened and smacked her lips, "It sounds so plain and simple, not tortuous at all." ”

Duane shook his head and disagreed with her words: it was originally intended to be filmed for children, but if it was too complicated, how could children understand it?

Su Jin quickly put aside this grumble, and asked again: "Have you decided on the name of the movie?"

"I've thought about it,"

Duane nodded.

"What's your name?"
