Chapter 19: We Do It Ourselves!
Sent Jiang Weirui and Jiang Xiyao away, returned to the studio and Meng Zhe, and was immediately surrounded by countless problems.
That Mr. Ma felt that "Go Boy" was not painted by Meng Zhe, and Meng Zhe replied with the original painting painted on the spot.
Director Gao was curious about why Meng Zhe created "Go Boy", and this question was easier to answer - he likes to play Go and draw comics, which is enough.
Director Wen asked the most reliable question, he wanted to know the follow-up storyline of "Go Boy", because it was a matter of whether it could be made into an animated film.
After getting a brief description of Meng Zhe's more general storyline, Director Wen also expressed his satisfaction, because the follow-up story is also very positive, and there is basically no need to worry about failing to pass the review after filming.
There are many other miscellaneous problems, but under the explanations of Meng Zhe and Kong Lan one by one, the final ending is basically a happy one.
The producer Zhu Jianqiang, during this period, kept talking about the income of cartoons to Mr. Ma of Kelon Foreign Trade Company in half-Cantonese and half-Mandarin, which obviously imitated Hong Kong films, but let Meng Zhe understand a lot of information about the domestic animation market in this era-
"Mr. Ma, let me tell you...... As long as this cartoon is filmed and passes the national review, it is a matter of minutes! After the filming is completed, we can sell it on various TV stations, which will be broadcast on CCTV for more than 1,000 yuan per minute, and local stations will have about 200 yuan if they are poor...... And Mr. Ma, let me tell you, according to the laws of the country, as long as the cartoon is broadcast by a TV station within 50 years, it must be paid to investors......"
When he said this, Zhu Jianqiang pointed to the bridge of Director Wen's nose and asked: "Director Wen, you come to talk to Mr. Ma - how much does it cost to pay for each episode of cartoons." ”
"That's Mr. Ma, the cost of each episode is high and low, the high one can cost twenty or thirty thousand yuan per minute, and the low one is about 5,000 yuan per minute......" The director of the article was also sincere, and replied 1510.
But before Director Wen finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Zhu Jianqiang waving his hand, and Zhu Jianqiang, who interrupted Director Wen, said, "Mr. Ma, let's shoot this 5,000!" If we shoot it, as long as we can sell it to 25 TV stations, we will get our money back! We'll make 5,000 if we sell to 50 TV stations, and we'll make 15,000 if we sell to 100! Moreover, this ten thousand and a half is only a minute...... Each episode of cartoons is 20 minutes long, and this episode is 300,000! ”
Hearing this, Meng Zhe suddenly felt that something was wrong.
300,000 in an episode?
What are you kidding, if one episode of cartoons can really earn 300,000 yuan, will China's animation industry before our rebirth be so sluggish? This Zhu Jianqiang, saying these words is obviously fooling that Mr. Ma, and he wants to invest from other people's pockets!
Zhu is strong and he even dares to fool investors, so what else does he dare not do?
Thinking of this, Meng Zhe hurriedly glanced at Kong Lan, after all, he was only a 12-year-old boy who had just gained some fame.
Meng Zhe's eyes to Kong Lan revealed only one meaning, that is, he hoped that Kong Lan would quickly find some excuse to get Zhu Jianqiang away! This cooperation in the joint production of cartoons basically does not need to be talked about any further.
This cooperation continues, even if an animation is really made, Meng Zhe feels that nine out of nine is definitely a bad movie at the level of collapse...... This kind of self-smashing brand, whether there is much benefit or not, is done only when the brain is broken.
With a clear heart, when Meng Zhe raised his head to give Kong Lan a look, Kong Lan also happened to look at Meng Zhe......
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not too early now, just now I have sent someone to order food at the best restaurant in the city, which can be regarded as a dust wash for everyone! Please move-" Kong Lan, who exchanged glances with Meng Zhe, said after clearing his throat.
……
On the wine table, the chopsticks are staggered.
The general manager soon lost his strength in drinking, and the first one was defeated, and was helped by the people he brought to the hotel to rest.
The rest of the people continued to eat and drink, and that Zhu Jianqiang probably felt that he had succeeded in fooling him, so he also let go of the amount of wine to the cup.
Soon, Zhu Jianqiang started talking nonsense, he patted Director Wen on the shoulder and said, "Lao Wen! What I remembered when I filmed and filmed this time - characters! Try not to move as much as possible, and if you have to, move your mouth only...... Mouth, don't move your body; Figure! It is not allowed to change clothes, from, from...... They are only allowed to wear a ...... from head to end."
Hearing this, Director Wen, who was only five minutes drunk, hurriedly said: "Producer Zhu, you are drunk!" ”
Zhu Jianqiang waved his hand indifferently and continued: "Drunk?!" I'm not drunk! You keep listening to me - characters! If you don't run around, don't run around, and it's best if the story happens in a fixed place! In addition to the protagonist Jiang Liuer and the villain's steel and steel plates...... The easier it is for the other characters...... The better; The background should also be as simple as possible, and there should not be a lot of time and space changes...... The cost per minute, never, can never exceed two thousand five, do you understand, do you understand? ”
How much does it cost two thousand five per minute?
Meng Zhe, who was sitting next to Kong Lan, felt sad in his heart when he listened, can he still watch things made according to these requirements?
It's no wonder that after the 90s, 90% of domestic cartoons are Honkai level!
"Sister Lan, refuse them." Meng Zhe whispered to Kong Lan, and after he glanced at the ugly Zhu Jianqiang with disdain, he added in an extremely firm tone: "Cartoons or something, we will ...... in the future." Do it yourself! ”
"Good!" Kong Lan reached out and patted Meng Zhe's shoulder affectionately, and then smiled happily.
"Uncles and aunts, I suddenly feel a little sick in my stomach, so I can only go home first!" So, Meng Zhe got up and said, in order to prove that his stomach was indeed 'uncomfortable', he deliberately covered his stomach with his right hand.
"Gee, that's a bit of a no-brainer! Ladies and gentlemen...... I'll send Xiao Zhe home, you eat and drink well! Kong Lan glanced at Meng Zhe in surprise, and then got up with a smile in his eyes and said.
Following this excuse, Kong Lan took Meng Zhe's hand and easily got out of the hotel.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the hotel, Meng Zhe, who had a 'stomachache' and crooked mouth and eyes, immediately miraculously recovered.
"I really didn't expect that this Zhu producer is actually such a person, he is clearly under the guise of making cartoons, and wants to take money out of that Mr. Ma's pocket......"
Kong Lan frowned slightly, her mood was obviously not very good, she was looking forward to this matter.
"It's okay, Sister Lan, we don't need to count on these people at all, when we have enough funds in the future, it's a big deal to open an animation company by ourselves!" Meng Zhe tried to comfort Kong Lan, he felt that this incident might be a big blow to Kong Lan.
Therefore, Meng Zhe continued to say witty words: "When the time comes, we can shoot whatever we want, invest more if we want to invest, and invest less if we want to invest less!" If you want to shoot the chess soul, you can shoot the chess soul, and if you want to shoot the Go boy, you can shoot the Go boy! Filming is over...... Let's watch one and throw one...... Envy the group of people in the dead house! ”
"Heh, Xiao Zhe, you......" Because he drank a few glasses of wine, Kong Lan, whose face was slightly flushed, was amused by Meng Zhe's witty words.
Under the influence of alcohol, Kong Lan's eyes also looked a little hazy, and her cheeks, which were originally a little hard from nature, also became much softer.
Kong Lan stretched out her hands and wrapped her arms around Meng Zhe's shoulders, and then she leaned down......
"What a ...... A good brother who can make people feel at ease. ”
A wine-scented kiss was imprinted on Meng Zhe's forehead.
