Chapter 422: Three Billion Budget
Yu Kamiya rushed Alice Kumamoto to the hospital, left his phone number for the hospital, and returned to the apartment to prepare lunch for Kamiya Dome. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Kamiya Dome still hasn't changed out of the comfortable white silk gothic pajamas, and although it's quite cold now, the heating effect of the high-end apartment still keeps the room at a comfortable temperature. After listening to Yu Kamiya explain what happened this morning, Kamiya Dome put down his chopsticks and said worriedly: "Fainted in the office, how is Miss Kumamoto's physical condition?" ”
"I'm not sure yet, I'll go to the hospital again in the afternoon."
Kamiya Vault tilted his head and stared at Kamiya Yu: "Yu, don't make it too difficult for Miss Kumamoto." ”
Yu Kamiya drank a taste of the soup, crying and laughing: "I didn't plan to do that from the beginning." ”
He felt that he was really wronged, the animation production plan of "Five Centimeters per Second" had been determined from the beginning, and he was not idle enough to "take revenge" on Alice Kumamoto to do things specifically in his own animation project, although [Yuno Sora] did temporarily work overtime because of the animation planning problem of "Five Centimeters per Second".
"I mean, not everyone works as hard to accomplish everything as Yuu, Yuu's standards are too high, and when Yuu pins a certain hope on others, Yo's general standards seem to be a difficult task in the eyes of others. An elephant can easily push a wall, but the ease of an elephant is impossible for an ant. ”
Yu Kamiya touched his face thoughtfully: "Will you feel like this?" ”
"I'm not a staff member of the production department, so I don't know very well, and then this evaluation also belongs to Black Cat Sauce." Kamiya Qiong used chopsticks to pick up the hamburger meat and ate it in small bites.
"I'm sorry to worry you, I'll take care of this."
Kamiya smiled comfortably, in fact, when Kamiya Qiong said that sentence, his heart had already judged the correctness of this sentence, and indeed he had always had very high standards for himself, because the existence of consciousness space made him not want to relax, all the skills he mastered, the works he made were all excellence, summing up the advanced knowledge and experience of the previous world to learn or complete.
When this practice became a matter of course, his way of looking at things also changed, for example, he was the original painting teacher of Wugen Liuli, and the period of time when Wumore Liuli studied original painting was like hell. Kamiya Yu's painting level is extremely high, as a teacher's teaching level should not be underestimated, so those from the hands of the five more glaze in his own person who has the experience and knowledge of a whole era behind him will be how bad it will be, even if he puts forward a little bit of subtlety that needs to be modified, the five more glaze will take a long time to adapt and change.
Five more glass belongs to the type that does not want to live up to the expectations of others.,So she accepts all the ideas put forward by Yu Kamiya and devotes herself wholeheartedly to them.,In addition to maintaining basic sleep for a few months.,About seventeen hours a day, so it's work or practice or study the ideas put forward by Yu Kamiya.,This makes her painting level improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.。
Animation production companies have encountered production time crises several times because Yu Kamiya is too strict with standards, and those elements that seem inconsequential to ordinary people need to be treated with caution.
The detailed animation production plan of "5 Centimeters per Second" is based on what he can complete in the real world, but he doesn't know that the painting he can complete by himself is more different from the painting completed by him and the consciousness space in the eyes of others.
In the afternoon, Kamiya takes a break for an hour.
Returning to the [Yu-no-Kong] animation production company to hold a production meeting, temporarily verbally revised some of the work arrangements that [Yu-no-Sora] cannot complete at the moment due to the excessive pursuit of perfection, and at the same time further expanded the scale of animation production based on the original detailed production plan, although [Yu-no-Sora] completed "5 Centimeters per Second" Although it cannot rely on the help of the [Yuan-no-Kong] production team, it can use the good connections of the production department to distribute the production arrangements that have piled up in the project, and then there is the issue of funding.
The production budget for "5 Centimeters per Second" is 3 billion yen, equivalent to 26 million US dollars, which is already 19 million US dollars higher than the budget of "Spirited Away", the world's first Oscar-winning animation last year.
"Three billion!?"
"It's just a theatrical version of the anime, Superintendent Kamiya, you've decided to invest three billion yen!?"
"This ・・・・・・"
In the conference room, all the overseers of [Yuu no Kong] widened their eyes, and their minds filtered through what Yuu Kamiya had just said, wondering if there was a problem with their ears and they had misheard. What is the concept of 3 billion yen? The production budget for an episode of ordinary commercial animation is about 10 million, and the well-made "Ghost in the Shell" is about 20 million yen, and 3 billion yen can almost produce about 20 commercial animations.
And then all the three billion yen budget was burned in the theatrical version of the animation that was only less than two hours, and the animation production budget of the last world was often billions of yen, and only [Ghibli] animation studio dared to play like that, but the animation of the 11 districts of this world was not very popular in the first place, and the theatrical animation did not even go out of the door of the 11 districts, so it can be said that the theatrical animation is just a complement to TV animation.
In this kind of industry environment, how can Yu Kamiya not be surprised that he plans to invest a budget of 3 billion yen to produce a theatrical version of the anime?
During the production meeting, cold sweat flowed down the faces of the supervisors, and the deputy painting supervisor wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked cautiously, "Superintendent Kamiya, are you sure you plan to invest 3 billion yen to complete the animation project of "5 Centimeters per Second"?" ”
"Well, what's the problem." Yu Kamiya nodded.
The painting supervisor stood up and looked directly into Yu Kamiya's eyes and said solemnly, "Superintendent Kamiya, we don't suspect that you didn't have the financial resources to complete this project, but if you took out three billion yen just to produce a mere theatrical version of the animation, anyone will probably doubt the authenticity of this project." ”
The subconscious implication is that taking 3 billion yen to complete a theatrical version of an animation is considered to be a broken head by a door panel.
This is indeed the case, because if you take 3 billion yen to make "5 Centimeters per Second", Kamiya Yu himself does not dare to guarantee whether he can earn back half of the cost price. Among Makoto Shinkai's works, only "Your Name", the most commercial work, has been successful, and "Five Centimeters per Second" did not even enter the top ten at the box office of the theatrical version of the animation that year. The theatrical version of the world's most popular "Madoka Magi" was able to exceed 2 billion yen at the box office with the support of the popularity of the original work, and the biggest selling point of "5 Centimeters per Second" may be that this work is directed by Yu Kamiya.
Yu Kamiya put his hands crossed on the table, his chin rested on his hands, and his sharp and solemn eyes made everyone in the conference room feel awe-inspiring, and said slowly: "I said from the beginning, [Yu's Void] has never made animations to make money, but to squander all the money earned by [Yuan's Void], and the mere three billion yen has not even burned the money earned by "Madoka Magical Girl". ”
The huge market economic effect created by "Madoka Magical Girl" has at least 3 billion yen directly into Yuu Kamiya's pocket since its operation.
The supervisors in the conference room were shocked by this sentence, looked at each other and smiled silently, and the painting supervisor also sat down and shook his head, "It's only three billion yen... ”
"But even if we are given that much budget, the scale of [Yu-no-Kong] will not be able to be fully utilized now." Sweat broke out again on the fat face of the deputy painting superintendent, and he swallowed as he spoke. In fact, there are great restrictions on investing money in animation in District 11, and the average animation production company may only invest 10 million for production funds, and too much investment is not necessarily a good thing for general animation production companies, and the model of the animation industry leads to a bottleneck in animation investment, and no amount of production funds will be used after exceeding that bottleneck.
"As I said earlier, the production department of [Edge's Space] is relatively idle now, and then General Affairs of Aoi Morishita will also contact other animation studios to help, Japan, China, South Korea, and the investment of 3 billion yen can only be regarded as an insignificant wave for the entire market."
The supervisor of the photography department looked relaxed, and said bitterly: "Seeing me, the photography department may be the busiest department." ”
"The same goes for the 3D department."
Other animation production companies can also help with concept art and animation, but due to the unique computer software of [Ennoku], the 3D and special effects can only be handled by our department.
