Chapter 875: Recruitment
The production cost of the 3D animated movie "Kung Fu Panda" in the previous life was as high as 140 million US dollars, which is almost equivalent to nearly 1 billion Chinese dollars! Calculated in this way, in fact, 1 billion Chinese dollars to create a series of "Qin Shi Mingyue" is really not much!
Although "Qin Shi Mingyue" in the previous life was constantly applauded, in fact, there are still many shortcomings, is it a technical problem? Obviously not, it's more of a matter of input!
Although "Qin Shi Mingyue" in the previous life claimed to have spent 100 million to create this IP, in fact, the cost of one episode of "Qin Shi Mingyue" could not reach one million! This kind of expenditure can be done to that extent, which is naturally commendable!
And this world, because of the high importance of copyright and zero tolerance for piracy, while pushing up the box office and revenue of movies and TV series, it will naturally make the cost higher!
So 1 billion is not much! Of course, this is definitely a big project, and Tang Feng is not blindly invested, on the one hand, he is confident in this work, and on the other hand, he also wants to see how high "Qin Shi Mingyue" can be achieved under the condition of sufficient manpower and material resources!
The media reporters were shocked and extremely excited, 1 billion super series, and it is also an anime series, this is definitely a hot news! And this is still the news of Tang Feng's news maker!
Just for the largest investment and most expensive anime series in the history of Huaguo, it is already worth writing about!
Of course, many media are also doubting how much water there is in this billion, many times, when publicizing and announcing costs, many people often make false reports, but in fact, it is a lot of water!
The news of 1 billion to create a 3D animation series of "Qin Shi Mingyue" made media reporters uproar for a long time, and Tang Feng was still very satisfied with the reaction of media reporters.
This is what he wants, if a work wants to be successful, simple quality and quantity and sincerity are not enough, publicity and marketing are absolutely essential!
When the voices of the media reporters gradually became quieter, Tang Feng continued with a smile: "Everyone, don't be impatient, there is a third thing to announce!" ”
"Qin Shi Mingyue" tells the story of the Warring States Period to the unification of the Qin State and then to the destruction of the Qin State, which incorporates many Chinese elements, including the hundred schools of thought, the grievances and hatreds of the rivers and lakes, the dispute between the court and the court, etc., it can be said that among all my works, the most content-rich work!"
"And if you want to create a good work of "Qin Shi Mingyue", it is obviously impossible to rely solely on the current staffing of our wind animation production company! Therefore, I hereby invite all animation practitioners, animation lovers, history lovers, experts and scholars, etc., to join the "Qin Shi Mingyue" project! ”
To this end, Fengxing Group will cooperate with Huaguo Animation Association to hold a martial arts-themed animation design competition! The exact format will be announced on the official website of the tournament at a later date! Those who perform well in the Anime Contest will be eligible to participate in the production of "Qin Shi Mingyue"! And there are also great bonuses! ”
"Secondly, launch the "Millionaire" contest with the theme of "Hundred Schools"! The winners will become members of the Historical Advisory Group of "Qin Shi Mingyue"! ”
said that it was three things, but in fact it was only one thing, that is, "Qin Shi Mingyue"!
Everything is centered on the work "Qin Shi Mingyue" and extends out of the project!
Of course, the most critical, the most eye-catching, and the most shocking is the number of 1 billion!
You must know that at present, the animation series in Huaguo often only cost a few million! Most of them cost only tens of thousands of dollars per episode! For example, the cost of Tang Feng's "Detective Conan" is even lower to an outrageous degree!
"Next, there is the question session, because there are too many media members here today, so each media is only allowed to ask one question, please raise your hand first, and I can only ask questions by name! Start now! The person in charge of the press conference said!
Although the media reporters were eager to give Tang Feng a few interviews, because they really had too many questions to ask, they also knew that this was obviously impossible!
You must know that Tang Feng has almost never been interviewed by anyone, even if it is Fengxing TV, it is Tang Feng's own, he has only been on a talk show once!
And there are hundreds of media here today, so one person is only allowed to ask one question, although the reporters are slightly dissatisfied, but it can only be so!
As soon as the person in charge's voice fell, he saw that his arms were like a forest, and almost every reporter raised his hand!
"That Mr. Huaxia Entertainment!"
"Mr. Tang, your previous works have novels first, and then adapted into TV series, or movies, etc., what made you give up serializing "Qin Shi Mingyue" in the form of text, and serialize it in the form of anime?"
"How so? "Qin Shi Mingyue" and my previous works,In fact, there are great differences in subject matter and content,This work,Incorporate martial arts,Fantasy,History and other elements,I think,This work simply uses words to express those pictures in my imagination,Can't achieve the effect I want,And the display of animation is diverse,And it can do what I imagined the picture! ”
"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your answer!"
"Next! That young lady from New Wolf Entertainment! ”
"Mr. Tang, the current animation series in China, the highest production cost is often not more than one million per episode, but you use several times or even dozens of times more funds to create this "Qin Shi Mingyue", with a sky-high cost of 1 billion, it is hard not to wonder if this is just a gimmick? How much water is in it? ”
"Before answering this question, I want to ask you if 1 billion is really a lot?"
"Maybe in everyone's opinion, 1 billion to make a martial arts anime series is simply stupid and has a lot of money! But in reality? This reporter friend said that the animation series in Huaguo, the highest production cost of the episode will not exceed one million, which is indeed true, but in fact? ”
"Huaguo's current anime series, how many can be called really well-made 3D anime? No, not one! ”
"Not in China, but you don't see it, in the United States, for example, a "Tyrannosaurus Rex" released some time ago, which is also a 3D animated movie, what about its production cost? But it has been equivalent to more than 1 billion Chinese dollars! In Europe and the United States, a well-made drama often costs tens of millions of Chinese dollars for one episode! ”
"In fact, in my opinion, 1 billion Chinese dollars to create "Qin Shi Mingyue" is already too little, because "Qin Shi Mingyue" has a total of 8 in the plan, and all of these 8 will add up to more than 100 episodes! On average, the production cost of an episode is less than 10 million Chinese dollars, which is indeed a lot higher than the current anime series in Huaguo, but compared to tens of millions of episodes in Europe and the United States, this number is really nothing! ”
"Therefore, 1 billion is only a preliminary budget, and if it is not enough in the future, it is likely to continue to increase investment!" Tang Feng's words fell, and many media people were thoughtful.
In fact, 1 billion is indeed a lot, but it depends on who you compare with, and in Huaguo, there are actually 3D animated films, and there are actually some with a single production cost of more than 100 million yuan, but in terms of dramas, there are indeed few high-cost ones! (To be continued.) )
