After talking with Liu Jingrong, Wu Shaoqian learned that the core members of the defenders were all superpowers, and there were even many people who were regarded as immortals before.

This made Wu Shaoqian finally have some understanding of the defenders, and he began to look forward to becoming an official core member.

On July 18, a few days after Liu Shuo came back, Li Chi called over, and "Kuiba" was taken offline by many theaters. At present, the box office is just over 17 million, and the cost has not been recovered.

Liu Shuo has nothing to say about this, and he has long expected this result. If it weren't for the fact that the current domestic animation market has become much larger, if it weren't for the support of Manfeng Cinema, "Kuiba" would not have been able to get this box office at all.

Now even Manfeng Cinema has begun to reduce the number of "Kuiba", because the attendance rate is too low, basically the morning show is arranged, and the afternoon show is given to other money-making movies.

If it weren't for the support of the theaters in the industrial park, the box office of "Kuiba" would really end here.

The box office of 17 million is not much cost, and after deducting various shares, Qingqingshu can get more than 7 million, and he lost 13 million.

Even if the 13 million is divided into two families, it is enough for Qingqingshu to bear it. Qingqingshu is a publishing company, focusing on children's comic books, and losing 13 million at once is enough for it to delay for two years.

"Mr. Liu, have you lost so much, do you still want to make a sequel?" Li Chi is not optimistic about the sequel to "Kuiba". According to the laws of the market, sequels are all products after making money, but Qingqingshu is obviously violating the laws of the market, and wants to continue to launch the sequel to "Kuiba".

"Are there any other animated films to attract investment?" asked Liu Shuo.

"No! Animated movies aren't for everyone. Li Chi said with disdain: "The technical content of this industry is too high, and you will definitely die a miserable death if you come in rashly." ”

Liu Shuo knew that he was expressing his dissatisfaction with those capitals, but Liu Shuo didn't care, capital is the most blind thing, where it is profitable, it will be gathered. However, when it comes to capital, Liu Shuo found that he has not heard from those capitals for a long time.

"Those capitals?" Li Chi seemed to hear something funny, "The capital that acquired animation companies has discovered the strength of those companies." They are proficient in shoddy work, but if they want to produce good things, they don't know anything. ”

"As of yesterday, a total of eight animation projects have been established, and six have fallen. The sum of the five animated film projects has reached more than 10 million, and if it weren't for the timely withdrawal of those capitals, the losses might have been hundreds of millions. ”

"What's going on?" asked Liu Shuo.

"The layman directs the insider, those capitals wave banknotes to recruit people in various colleges and universities, and those college students who have not yet left the school have been recruited with high salaries, and the salary alone will be millions every month. If it is a few months late, those projects will definitely be halfway done, and like chicken ribs, it is a pity to discard them if they are tasteless. If it weren't for the bad box office of "Kuiba", they might not have reacted!"

"So 'Kuiba' saved them?" Liu Shuo asked disappointedly.

"That's right, I said from some acquaintances who have withdrawn the project company, those capitals have no other skills, but the ability to make money is not small. They don't understand animation, but they know the quality, the quality of "Kuiba" is already very good, and it doesn't pay for itself, and those projects are not as good as "Kuiba"! How can there be a good box office?"

"They don't know how to buy and sell at a loss, so they feel like they stop the project and stop the loss. Now they've completely focused on the comics and don't dare to animate anymore. ”

"Then you don't have to stop even the cartoons!" Liu Shuo wondered.

"The cartoon thing is for another reason, only half of the capital stopped. The other three, one was pitted by the former boss, leaving them with an empty shell, and the technicians were all taken away. One was in dire need of money and divested. The last one is that the subject matter is not good, and I am looking for a new theme!"

"It's really eventful!" Liu Shuo sighed.

Originally, Liu Shuo wanted this group of laymen to help him make the trip, but they all withdrew.

"Kuiba" also played a negative role in this, and it is impossible for Liu Shuo to say that there is no negative emotion.

He's thinking about whether to support a sequel to "Kuiba" now, but after thinking about it, he feels that he can't let emotions sway his plans.

The rest of the capital has been withdrawn, and it seems that the only one who can help him get through the thunder is "Kuiba". As for "The Wizard of Wonderland", it will take at least another year to complete, and if the box office is not good, there will really be no thunder.

Thinking of this, Liu Shuo called Qingqingshu, "Director Wang, when will you make the second part of "Kuiba"?"

"Of course we invested! Didn't we say yes at the beginning? It's okay! How much will I lose! It's not as high as my monthly royalty!"

"That's okay, you get the plan as soon as possible, and I'll let Li Chi transfer employees and money for you. ”

"Okay!

Liu Shuo hung up the phone, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Qingqingshu didn't want to lose money over there, and he persuaded others to do it.

But think about it, from what Liu Shuo knows, Qingqingshu has made a total of three "Kuiba", but none of them have recovered their costs, and they have no money to start the fourth part, so they still relied on online fundraising to get funds and produce the fourth part.

How about the fourth part, Liu Shuo didn't have a chance to know, but the three "Kuiba" are also mixed. What you like is really like, and what you don't like is really disliked.

The current animated film is still regarded as art by animators, and it has to express something in it. It is also a reason for the current recession of animated films, the ideas they express, the audience can't see it, but few viewers watch it a second time, so two results are formed.

One is scolded as a bad movie, and the other is that everyone who wants to understand it has gone to watch piracy. In fact, this is also determined by the domestic market, because people are reluctant to watch movies, thinking that they have supported it after watching it once, and then go to watch pirated copies with peace of mind, and this psychology will continue until seven or eight years later.

In fact, it is also determined by factors such as low per capita income, high movie ticket prices, and too fast pace of life.

That's why Liu Shuo wants to get more animated films to produce the market, but he can't introduce foreign animation. Because those good cartoons are introduced too much, it is not to open up the market, but to commit suicide.

The level of animation production in China is low.,It's okay when there's no comparison.,A comparison will cause many people to be reluctant to watch.。 are also animated movies, and many people are willing to watch Japanese ones rather than domestic ones. 10
