Chapter 040: Martial Dreams
The disappearance of Zhao Xin and Jiawen caused Demacia to fully mobilize, except for Galio, who was guarding the royal city, and all the other heroes rushed into the mountains to find the two.
Zhao Xin and Jiawen met a female warrior in the mountains, her name was Sivana, and she was a descendant of dragons and humans. She entered the mountains to kill an evil dragon that had caused the displacement of tens of thousands of people.
When Jiawen heard this, he immediately said that he could help. Shivana helped the two rebuild their armor and weapons, and together they climbed the mountain to find the dragon's cave.
The evil dragon is very powerful, and the hot dragon breath melts the armor on Jiawen and Zhao Xin's bodies. After a lot of hard work and cooperation, the three of them finally killed the dragon and became the dragon slayer warrior on the famous side.
The battle of the dragon slayer drew seven more words, and the fight was extremely exciting. Liu Shuo used a high-definition big picture to interpret the most exciting part of almost every word, these big pictures are very beautiful, and almost after they came out, they were made into a desktop by those comic fans.
During the period when the battle of the dragon was drawn, March came, and the university opened.
Liu Shuo once again returned to the rhythm of class, class, and drawing. Of course, there is also a girlfriend, and the two of them are the first time to taste the forbidden fruit, when you and I are nong.
The most important thing is that Liu Shuo is still waiting for news from Li Jin.
As soon as the school started, Li Jin applied for the film version of "Dream of Martial Arts" by the college, and Zhongchuan was conservative about this matter. Because a movie version of an animation requires a lot of financial and manpower, China Media can't afford it at all.
However, Li Jin told Liu Shuo's plan again, and the middle transmission relented, if it was only a part, there would be no problem. If "Dream of Martial Arts" is really filmed, it is also their political achievement, and it is worth spending some money for it.
So, on March 3, Liu Shuo received a call from Li Jin.
After getting the letter, after Liu Shuo got out of class, he went to Dean Sun and told him everything that had happened.
Dean Sun pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think? You must know that it takes a lot of time and money to make an animated film, and even if it is made by students, it will require a lot of investment. If it's not done well, we're going to put it in vain. ”
"Dean, I think so. In recent years, the state has supported the animation industry, but the progress of the animation industry has been very slow. We have not been able to come up with a film worthy of praise, is it because we have no talent? No, we have talent, and Li Jin himself completed a high-quality clip of a few minutes, which shows that our talent can already carry out large-scale production. ”
"But why are there still no big productions? First, because no one invests, and the rich are not optimistic about our animation industry. The concept of Chinese people has always been stuck in the fact that animation is for children, so no one has come to invest in our youth animation projects. ”
"Now that someone has finally invested in us, we have to seize this opportunity. Although it is only one million, we have to find a way to use this million to do great things, and we also want investors to get profits. In this way, people will continue to invest in us because it is profitable. ”
"As long as we continue to produce good works, the animation market will be revitalized. Although it may be a little difficult to catch up with Japan and surpass the United States, there should be no problem in occupying the domestic market. ”
Dean Sun looked at Liu Shuo talking eloquently and couldn't help asking, "Since Chinese people regard animation as a children's program, why don't we make children's animation?
"The audience for children's anime is mainly children, although when a child enters the theater, parents and even family members will watch it. But the current environment is not realistic, one is the problem of piracy, as soon as a new film is released, pirated copies will be uploaded to the Internet. At this time, parents who want to save money or make it convenient may find pirated copies for their children, and movie theaters are not the first choice. ”
Nowadays, young people regard watching movies as a fashion, and the people who enter the theater the most are young people, and they regard watching movies as a kind of petty bourgeois complex, and think that it is a kind of romance. ”
"Really?" said Dean Sun suspiciously.
"If you can't, you can have people visit the cinemas, and the people who watch the movies are basically young people, either students or people who are already working. These people are not very old, have certain economic conditions or economic independence, will consume movie tickets, a movie ticket of more than 30 is not cheap, equivalent to a day's meal money, the breadwinner is reluctant to spend so much. ”
"Okay!" Dean Sun said with a smile: "I agree to this matter, I will ask the financial staff to give you 300,000 yuan, and it will be regarded as an investment." You go and discuss with Li Jin, according to the investment amount and manpower, our college must also occupy at least 30% of the profit ratio. ”
After Liu Shuo thought about it, he agreed, "There should be no problem, I will discuss it with Li Jin." ”
The next day was Saturday, and Liu Shuo went directly to Zhongchuan by car to meet Li Jin.
"I've convinced our dean that he agreed to involve the students in the project and invest $300,000. However, he has one condition, the movie version of "Dream of Martial Arts" must follow commercial procedures, and our animation academy wants 30% of the profits. ”
Li Jin thought for a while, nodded and said: "No problem, it just so happens that Zhongchuan has also taken out 300,000 yuan, and if you add manpower, you can also take 30%." The rest of Jin Yue invested 1 million and could get 40%. ”
Li Jin is not a businessman, he has not thought about his profit at all, he just wants to fulfill his dream.
But Liu Shuo didn't agree, although he is not a businessman, but he can't let this kind of thing set a precedent, the intellectual property rights of animation must be guaranteed, there is no trend of profit, and animation authors simply can't always make good works.
"Jin Yue can give him 20%, the remaining 20%, you take 15%, and the remaining 5% can be given to Donnie Yen and Bruce Lee's families. ”
Li Jin looked at Liu Shuo puzzled, he didn't understand what Liu Shuo meant.
"You take 15% because you want to set rules for what we will make in the future, creativity, copyright, these things are assets, otherwise we will not come up with good ideas. As for the remaining 5%, when the movie is released, we may be able to ask Donnie Yen himself to help promote it, as long as there are interests, he should be happy. ”
