Chapter 144: Kisses and Animated Films

"Meng Zhe, are you really ...... Not angry? ”

When Meng Zhe was about to go home after successfully completing the obligatory task of sending his future wife and sister-in-law home safely, Jiang Weirui asked - Jiang Weirui felt that Meng Zhe was very excited when he swore at the meeting just now, and it was not all psychological words.

Looking at his future wife who would ask such things because she cared about herself, Meng Zhe's heart warmed, and then he put on a heartbroken expression and said, "Sure enough, only Xun'er, you understand me best...... Hey, I thought no one would be able to see it. ”

Well, although Meng Zhe did feel a little unhappy in his heart because of the departure of those editors and cartoonists who had been poached, it was definitely not serious enough to be heartbroken.

So the truth is - Meng Zhe did it on purpose! He's pretending to be pitiful and begging for comfort!

But the problem is that although Jiang Weirui is smart enough to see the unhappiness in Meng Zhe's heart, she is still only a big loli who has not been deeply involved in the world after all!

Therefore, Meng Zhe's pitiful appearance immediately won all the sympathy of Jiang Weirui, who was as pure in heart as Little Red Riding Hood. Looking at Meng Zhe with a 'sad' face, Jiang Weirui's two white hands subconsciously clenched into small fists, and she began to think hard about what to do to make Meng Zhe happy...... Then the light, Meng Zhe, who took in the subconscious movements and expressions of his future wife, how could he not understand that he had succeeded in pretending to be pitiful and begging for comfort?

So, Meng Zhe endured the infinite pride in his heart, and continued to stare at his lovely Xun'er wife with sad and sad eyes, but then Meng Zhe showed up in despair: "Xun'er...... I've heard that affectionate and sweet kisses can help almost everyone get out of their mood slump. ”

After saying this, Meng Zhe was ready to accept his shy Xun'er wife taking the initiative to kiss - speaking of which, except for the time when she was in the hospital, it was Jiang Weirui who took the initiative to kiss Meng Zhe and said that she liked Meng Zhe, so long it was Meng Zhe who took the initiative to kiss Jiang Weirui every time.

Although Meng Zhe can understand and understand the shy girlish heart of his lovely Xun'er wife, how could he really not want to get the little girl's initiative to kiss again?

"Meng Zhe, you, you deceive others again......" Unfortunately, to Meng Zhe's disappointment, Jiang Weirui finally discovered Meng Zhe's sinister intentions at this time, so the little girl glared at Meng Zhe fiercely and said.

Bad apple! People are so worried about you, and you still lie to others by saying such lustful words, and you will definitely not care about you next time!

Jiang Weirui thought so secretly, but looking at Meng Zhe, who had all the expectations on her face because she had seen through the 'trick', all the expectations on her face turned into disappointment, but the little girl's heart immediately softened for no reason...... Or, or kiss Meng Zhe?

But this is at the door of the house, what if when I kiss Meng Zhe, a bad guy, my parents suddenly come out?

Thinking of being found out by her parents and kissing Meng Zhe, Jiang Weirui's face immediately flew red, and even her ears burned and burned.

"Hehe, stupid girl, don't get entangled, I'm joking with you." Although he can't guess all the thoughts of his future wife at the moment, Meng Zhe has a mature heart after all, so he said this very considerately, although after saying this, he still followed with some regret after all: "Although, I really want to get a sweet kiss from a little girl now......"

Of course, Jiang Weirui could understand the meaning of Meng Zhe's words, so the shame on the little girl's face became more and more intense, so she lowered her head deeply and tried to use this stupid method to avoid Meng Zhe's burning gaze.

"Okay, it's almost time to see you tomorrow-" Looking at the incomparably cute appearance of his future wife, Meng Zhe, who had actually completely relaxed in his heart, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Jiang Weirui's red-hot cheeks, and then continued with a smile: "Good night Xun'er, have a good dream!" ”

After speaking, Meng Zhe planned to turn around and leave, because this was actually not the first time he had teased Jiang Weirui like this, and according to his usual experience, Jiang Weirui would definitely wait until he was far away before he dared to raise his head and turn home.

The night breeze was very cool, and Meng Zhe didn't want Jiang Weirui to catch a cold because of it.

But something unexpected happened to Meng Zhe again, when he was about to turn around and leave after saying goodnight, Jiang Weirui, who was originally hanging her head and not daring to look at him, suddenly raised her head!

Then, although the little girl's cheeks were red and red, she bravely took a step forward and hugged Meng Zhe.

If someone was shooting with a camera next to him at this time, he would probably shoot two feet - Jiang Weirui tried hard to stand on her heels, so that her height could reach the height of Meng Zhe's lips...... The only thing that made Meng Zhe feel sorry was the second time he took the initiative to kiss his Jiang Weirui, this tiptoe kiss only lasted for a short time, and almost immediately turned around and ran away like a frightened rabbit as soon as it touched his lips.

Looking at his future wife who turned around and ran away, Meng Zhe subconsciously reached out and touched his lips, revealing a satisfied smile.

Roar - Motivation!

Sleep two or three hours late tonight to design the script for the first animated film!

…… Although he originally planned to sleep two or three hours late, in the end, Meng Zhe stayed up all night and got the basic script of the animated film out.

In fact, Meng Zhe has also made a lot of preliminary preparations before this, such as the selection of themes and other contents, which have actually been selected - just like Yoshida said before, Meng Zhe plans to make an animated film of "Sword of Immortals".

The content that Meng Zhe chose to make this animated film is that after the four of Yun Tianhe helped people expel the third master of the fox in Jimo City, and helped a lover become a dependent, they participated in the Jimo Lantern Market to watch the lanterns and fireworks - in the plot of "Sword of Immortals" TV animation, because of the capacity of TV cartoons, this part of the story was abandoned by Meng Zhe.

In fact, Meng Zhe also plans to make the story of the magic sword and the nightshade in the magic sword into a movie animation.

However, considering that by the time the movie animation is made, the third and final season of the TV anime should have ended...... Let the audience who have already seen the TV animation of "Sword of Immortals" shed tears again in the cinema for the tragic story of the martyrdom of the dragon nightshade, which is somewhat unkind or something, Meng Zhe finally gave up this plan.

After all, this is the first movie animation made, and it will be taken out with the gimmick of a New Year film, although there is no lack of tragedy in the New Year film in the future, but after all, it is 1996 when the New Year film in Chinese mainland just appeared, isn't it?

In short, Meng Zhe finally came up with it, and the first movie animation was determined to be "Sword of Immortals - Jimo Lantern City" with a happy ending.

As for the plot of the animated movie, it will basically follow the original plot of Xiansi - in the seaside city of Jimo, there is a fox who has cultivated the third master of the scattered fairy fox, his surname is to bully the soft and afraid of the hard, good at illusion but the mana is not strong, but it is enough to fool mortals.

Therefore, the third master of the fox was worshiped by the Jimo people and had his own fox fairy temple. But the problem is that the third master of the fox not only does not solve problems for the people who worship him, but instead takes pleasure in playing tricks on people.

People prayed for a smooth wind and rain when they went out to sea, and the third master of the fox made the sea stormy; People prayed for rain from the sky, and the third master of the fox let Jimo suffer from drought for three years. It also likes to collect medicinal materials, and when it sees that Yu Zijian, the shopkeeper of Jimo Pharmacy, has a precious medicine "Ziyun Xuanshen", he also wants to take it by the hand, and people dare not speak out about what he did...... The only difference from the original plot is that Meng Zhe set up two more ferocious monster subordinates for the third fox master in order to highlight the contradictions, and the third fox master who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard was once rescued by these two monsters, so even if he knew that his two monster subordinates transformed into his appearance to eat people or something, he didn't say a word.

And this will also become an important reason for Yun Tianhe and others to crusade against the third master of the fox, after being defeated by Yun Tianhe and others, even if Yun Tianhe and others want to kill it for this reason, the third master of the fox took the initiative to bear this responsibility, saying that everyone is eaten by him...... Obviously, Meng Zhe wants to show the content of demons and feelings, and the corresponding content is naturally the ruthlessness of people - Xia Yuanchen, who is the same as the third master of the fox, is a mountain god who eats and lives with the people of Jimo and helps the people. But when the two subordinates of the third master of the fox were ordered by the third master of the fox to arrest the daughter Lianbao adopted by Xia Yuanchen, those people who had been helped by Xia Yuanchen revealed the real prototype of the mountain god with a terrifying image when Xia Yuanchen and the third master of the fox were fighting with his subordinates, so they all alienated Xia Yuanchen and tried to drive Xia Yuanchen away.

Of course, in the end, with the efforts of Yun Tianhe and the others, these ruthless mortals will eventually 'repent', and they will finally realize that the real horror is not the ugly appearance, but the ugly heart...... This is a must, because otherwise, there will be no way to express the final happy light market - the so-called light market is naturally in harmony with harmony, isn't it?

This is the basic movie animation storyline set by Meng Zhe, he spent a night straightening out all the plots, and also set the key lines for the characters on important occasions, and the rest of the scenes involving unimportant non-main lines, Meng Zhe intends to hand over the copywriting in Jiji's animation studio and the editorial team of "Light Novel" to complete together.

And the next thing that needs Meng Zhe's heart is the problem of this animated movie.

Since it is an animated movie, it will at least be more than an hour and a half, and the production cost of an animated film per minute is much higher than that of TV animation.

The reason is very simple, it doesn't matter if the TV animation is a little rougher, because no viewer will pay real money for a good TV animation. Movie animation is different, a movie ticket of dozens of dollars a movie ticket is really out of their own pocket for the audience who walks into the movie theater, so if the production is poor, you don't want the movie audience to enter the theater at all!

This is also the fundamental reason why Miyazaki's animated film "Valley of the Wind" produced in 1984 still does not make people feel clumsy and ugly when watched after 2000, and those TV animations of the same era will feel that the picture is worse when you watch it after 2000.

Therefore, the production budget of a 90-minute 2D or 3D animated film in the United States ranges from about $30 million to $200 million. The production budget for a 90-minute 2D or 3D animated film ranges from about $5 million to $200 million.

Of course, most of the budget for these production costs will actually be used for publicity - each American animated film is budgeted for advertising at three times the production cost, and this part of the money is used as publicity expenses, which is said to be about twice the budget of each film's production cost as publicity expenses.

As for the country...... According to the internal division model, the budget for the production cost of 2D domestic animation is: about 2-30,000 yuan/minute for A-level; Grade B is about 1.3-18,000 yuan/min; Grade C is about 10,000 yuan/min; Grade D is about 0.6-0.8 thousand yuan/minute.

And Meng Zhe expects that the production cost of his animated film should be about 40,000 yuan per minute on average, so it will be less than 3 million yuan in 90 minutes. Although 3 million is not a small amount, the current Meng Zhe can really come up with this money after uniting with Kong Lan.

But it's obvious that you can't do without advertising when making animated movies, even if you can't do 3 times the production cost of American animation, at least you have to have the same level of advertising budget as this anime movie, right?

Even if it is because of the popularity of the TV animation of "Sword of Immortals", Meng Zhe can save part of the advertising investment cost, but after deducting this part of the savings, I am afraid that he will have to double the advertising budget of his own expenses, in other words, the total estimated investment is: 6 million.

6 million, it's not the funds that Meng Zhe can take out at one time, after all, Tianjiao Society, Kong Menghuazhang and other big stalls all need cash flow, so you can't transfer all the cash on hand to make animated movies at one time, right?

Although Meng Zhe is very confident that the animated film will definitely have a good box office, there is a case in everything ...... What if this box office is planted?

Therefore, in order to diversify the risk, it is necessary to attract other people to invest together - and in later generations, investors who are more willing to participate in the production of Chinese animated films are: electronics companies, venture capital companies, film production companies, children's food and toy companies, real estate companies, and individual business owners...... Wait a minute.

Normally, the success rate of cooperation with film production companies is the highest, because film production companies can not only provide technical support, but also have channels such as theaters when the film is released in the future.

In 1996, where Meng Zhe is now, the real estate company has not yet come out of the collapse of the Hainan property market, and it is far from being as bullish as in later generations, so there is no need to consider it. The electronics industry is also basically passing, because the Internet has not yet been popularized; Individual business owners are basically no play, and the current individual business owners are still in the primitive accumulation stage, and the low coal prices have not yet bred the local tyrant coal bosses in Shanxi; As for children's food toy companies...... Under the influence of Meng Zhe, is there a more awesome children's food and toy company in China than Kong Menghuazhang's animation peripheral department and 'Chinese Little Master Instant Noodles'?

In this way, the only investment objects that Meng Zhe can consider are venture capital companies and film production companies.

Therefore, Meng Zhe's first object of consideration is Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio.
