Mamoru Oshii was not having a good time at this time, the clown studio he was in was not very big, and the production cost of "Fuxing Kid" was very low, which can be said to be shoddy, causing many fans of the original book to criticize him, and even send blades.

"President! I used the money you injected to buy Joker Studios and take the animation rights of "Lucky Star Kid". Hatta Hideaki peeked at Han Ziguang, he didn't know if Han Ziguang would agree with his approach, and muttered: "I think Joker Studio has the ability to independently produce zuò animation, and if our company wants to gain a foothold in the animation industry, it must have a masterpiece, in fact, I think "Lucky Star Kid" is also good, as long as the production cost is sufficient, it can also have the potential to be a big hit." ”

"Hmmm! I also think what President Hatta said is good, but how much money do you need? Han Ziguang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Mamoru Oshii, tell me, I probably have an understanding, and President Hatta also wants you to be the supervisor of "Transformers". ”

"Hey! Will be! At present, the cost of producing an episode of the animation is about 3 million yen, some of which comes from the copyright of the TV station, and the agency of the advertiser, and the animation "Lucky Star Boy" is enough from the TV station, but there are no advertisers. Mamoru Oshii smiled helplessly: "This is also something we can't do, after all, some advertisers are unwilling to provide funding and don't have enough funds." ”

"I see! This advertising fee is paid by our publishing house and toy factory, but when making zuò, just remember the advertising placement and our comics. Han Ziguang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's just that how much do you think each episode of "Transformers" costs?" ”

Han Ziguang knows that Mamoru Oshii is definitely a money-burner, especially if he can create a work like "Ghost in the Shell" in the future, he knows his pursuit of pictures and the profundity of the connotation, and he naturally wants to make "Transformers" a work like "Mobile Suit Gundam", constantly introducing new animations and machines, so the first animation is also crucial.

"I don't think it's going to be less than five million yen per episode!" Mamoru Oshii groaned for a moment and gave a definite number.

"Excellent! I don't need to be shoddy, either don't do it or just make a boutique! Han Ziguang pondered for a while and said: "It's just that "Transformers" is still in the creation stage, but "Lucky Star Kid" can also become famous for the animation company in one fell swoop. ”

Han Ziguang still believes in Mamoru Oshii's ability, and "Fuxing Kid" already has a certain foundation, but because of the shortage of funds, it has caused dissatisfaction among some fans of the original work, as long as there are enough funds, I believe it should not be bad.

"Hayao Miyazaki! I heard that you're planning to make your own manga into an animated movie, right? Han Ziguang glanced at Hayao Miyazaki and said curiously.

"Hey! President! I think it's still very interesting for "Valley of the Wind" to be made into an animated movie. Hayao Miyazaki looked at Han Ziguang with a little expectation, because from many understandings, he felt that Han Ziguang was still very generous and had a different passion for animation and comics, so he said: ""Valley of the Wind" is a manga I created, in fact, I wanted to make a movie a long time ago, but no one has been willing to make it. ”

"I don't know what the expected investment of this "Valley of the Wind" is?" Han Ziguang looked at Miyazaki's slightly nervous appearance, and couldn't help but wonder, where did Miyazaki Hayao at this time have the demeanor of a later generation of masters? couldn't help but smile and said: "If you can, I will invest in your movie, but you must also do a good job in the cartoon "Chess Soul", my tone is excellence, can you understand?" ”

"President! The investment in "Valley of the Wind" does not require much, as long as 150 million yen, it should be able to do well. Miyazaki glanced at Han Ziguang, and when he saw that the other party was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "And I also like the comic "Chess Soul", and I believe I can do it well!" ”

"150 million yen?" Han Ziguang thought about it for a while, in fact, it is not too expensive, if he remembers correctly, the box office of the animated film "Valley of the Wind" is more than 580 million yen, and there should be no problem in recovering the cost at all, and said with a smile: "I can accept it completely!" ”

"Really? President? Are you willing to invest? Miyazaki said excitedly.

"Of course! The premise is that you can give "Chess Soul" a good system! Han Ziguang thought for a moment and said: "You can completely make "Chess Soul" according to the animated movie, and I will give you a budget of five million yen per episode, and there will probably be more than 100 episodes in total." ”

Hayao Miyazaki's eyes lit up, the money for an episode of animation is five million, so if you make an animation, it will be more than 500 million yen, which is definitely a very big investment in this era, and he also feels very challenging, and it is completely possible to make a movie in the middle.

Hatta Hideaki still admires Han Ziguang's vigorous and resolute style on the side, originally Kyoto Animation is just a studio, he believes that it will soon rise under the leadership of Han Ziguang, and has even begun to set foot in the field of animated films.

Han Ziguang knows that the animation of this era is purely handmade, even if there are not many special effects, it is very expensive, and the production cost of "Transformers", his expectation should be about 10 million yen, and "Chess Soul" animation without many fight scenes, the cost will be relatively low, but only 5 million yen can make its picture exquisite, his requirement is that even if it gets the 21st century, it is also a first-class animation.

The investment in TV animation is too large, and it is difficult to recover the copyright from a TV station alone, so there need to be other ways to recycle, such as videotapes, toys and other peripheral industries, which are all means of recovering funds, and there is already a set of concepts in Japan, not to mention that Han Ziguang and toy factories are not afraid of not recovering the cost, and once the animation is on fire, it will attract advertising costs from merchants, don't think that animation can't implant ads, it would be naïve.

"President Hatta! Has Andatron been contacted? After Han Ziguang arranged the production of "Chess Soul" and "Transformers", he couldn't help but look at Hatta Hideaki and said lightly: "The comic "Baseball Heroes" is very suitable for young students to watch, and it is absolutely suitable to be made into animation. ”

"President! Andachong had already been in contact with it a few times at this time, but he was a little hesitant about whether to animate, especially the people in the Shogakukan, who wanted to find some bigger animation companies to do it. Hatta Hideaki was also helpless, and said truthfully: "Now our company's competitiveness is limited, so if "Lucky Star Kid" can make a reputation, I believe that the animation copyright of "Baseball Heroes" can also be obtained by us." ”

Han Ziguang nodded, it seems that the burden is still on Mamoru Oshii, as long as "Lucky Star Kid" is a hit, I believe that neither Shogakukan nor Andashiro has no reason to refuse, he believes that "Baseball Heroes" will definitely show greater brilliance in his hands.
