"Chess Soul" can be so popular in China, which is indeed beyond expectations. Happy has also made a rough analysis, compared to the current situation of Chinese people who are disgusted when they hear domestic animation for many years in the future, now is undoubtedly a golden opportunity. The Japanese invasion has not yet taken shape, and after more than ten years of "catastrophe", domestic animation has now formed a vacuum. The demand has never decreased, but there is just a lack of a masterpiece that can carry the crown.

Happy and happy to see it happen.

But now that it was agreed, his energy shifted with it. As the saying goes, if you don't have a long-term concern, you must have a near-term worry. From the outside, "Chess Soul" has just begun, and according to the current serialization speed, it will be popular for at least a whole year. can know his own family affairs, and the creation of "Chess Soul" has really come to an end. At present, the staffing of the studio, in addition to the increasingly large "Kung Fu Panda" "legion", the work of the "Chess Soul" working group is just doing the finale.

To be sustainable, you can't hang yourself from a tree, so the development of other works will inevitably be on the agenda. There is not much furniture in the spacious office, and a huge desk is placed in the southeast corner, on which drawing paper is spread. Happy sketched a few characters casually, and some were undecided.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

There was a knock on the door, Bai Xiaoya and Luo Kedi walked in together, and the former tiredly handed out a document and said, "Boss, this is the analysis table I made according to the current progress of animated film production, you can take a look." It's not ideal, it's a bottomless pit at all. ”

Happy picked it up and looked at it, and his brows couldn't help frowning. It is said that animated films are bottomless pits, and he was ready to fight a long battle before he was ready to start construction, but the difficulties were still beyond expectations. If he just wants to make an animated film that is content with the status quo in China, it doesn't require much investment, at most it's just artificial. But if this is the case, if the movie is screened in China, it will definitely be a loss to take off all the pants. It is too natural to not only focus on quality, but also to reduce investment. Don't forget, this is a super plug-in with Po.

"According to rough estimates, the input cost is at least 30 million...... dollars, and no less than three years. Luo Kedi added leisurely, "As far as the company's capital is concerned, it is only half a scoop of water to invest all of it." ”

Happy casually threw away the document and asked, "Xiaobai, what do you think?" ”

Bai Xiaoya said: "I think that the investment is small, and the time is not necessarily a bad thing, as long as we open a few more businesses, according to our company's rate of return, it may not be able to support a large investment of 30 million US dollars." The problem is that this is a big production, not including the cost of distribution. The most important thing is that do you think a big-budget animated film with an investment of 30 million dollars can recoup the cost? I am most worried about the thankless effort, and in the end, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and hundreds of people in the company have worked hard for several years, and finally they are all thrown in, but they can't turn up a wave. ”

"That's a real problem." Xingxing pinched his eyebrows, "What do you think, Lao Luo?" ”

"It's a problem that can't be avoided." Luo Kedi obviously discussed this issue in depth with Bai Xiaoya, and said without thinking: "I don't know where you have so much confidence and dare to invest so much. If you choose to go back to China to start a business and fulfill your dream, there are indeed many conveniences, such as cheap labor. But this is China after all, and our films can only go out if they want to get ahead. You'll have to walk back, and you'll have to start preparing years in advance. Those guys in Hollywood are famous vampires, and I don't need to tell me what the status of the Chinese is. ”

"Oh, you already have a goal?" Happy to hear the meaning of the words, the corners of the mouth curled.

"Hey~" Luo Kedi said angrily: "Test me." I'm afraid you're a guy who was prepared, otherwise when you were in college, why did you run to the anime festival every time. That's why I said I should prepare early. Fame depends on publicity, and it is best to find a large company with excellent strength and optimism about us to cooperate. ”

"Well, you've said it all, what else can I say."

Only Bai Xiaoya was still confused, and said a little angrily: "What the hell are you talking about, such a big thing is enough to affect the future fate of the company, and it is still a dumb riddle." ”

Happy looked grim, and said, "Director Bai is right. So this daunting task is left to you, collect more information about the North American Anime Festival, and when the time comes, we will take advantage of the situation. Don't worry, I still have a little confidence, otherwise how dare I be so generous. As for the specific issues, let's discuss them with Lao Luo. Although this office is not very reliable, there are still some clever ones. As for me, I concentrated on preparing for the Venice Film Festival, hoping that the company's second film would be successful. ”

Luo Kedi scoffed, "What is unreliable, more reliable than you." I see that you guy is purely trying to be lazy, and I wish I could fly to Hong Kong to meet my lover immediately. Xiaoya, let me tell you, you can't stare at this kind of little white face when looking for a man, or is it more reliable for me to be honest and honest. The meat is whirring, and it can also be used as a pillow. ”

Bai Xiaoya rolled her eyes, "My mother said, you are too fat, you have to take a breath when you walk a few steps, if you want to lose weight, you will have to climb the stairs when you enter my house in the future." ”

"Poof~" Happy was picking up the teacup, and almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water when he heard the words, "What, you've all seen your parents!" When and why I don't know anything about it. It's too fast. Okay, boy, I don't see that there is really a set. ”

"Haha, awards, awards." Luo Kedi was overjoyed, "You're not bad either." ”

Happy came to the interest, and his eyes lit up, "What's going on?" ”

Bai Xiaoya blushed, "What are you talking about, this is an office, ignore you." Shame ran away.

"Wait a minute, Xiaobai, this has a bit of an outline, you take it down first and show it to a few painters and give some advice." He hurriedly handed over the character draft.

……

This summer, for mainland filmmakers, is a hurricane baptism that subverts concepts.

In the past, the American war blockbuster "Saving Private Ryan" was in turmoil, and it collected 80 million with lightning speed, which could directly lock in the annual box office champion in the past. But just after the second half of the year arrived, a big ship called "Titanic" went on a cold rampage, overturning all the memories of the Chinese people in the past related to the movie box office. easily broke 100 million, queued up overnight, and took advantage of the victory to chase down 200 million. That's not all, the march to 300 million is also in sight. Piracy? No matter how bad piracy is, it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for entering the cinema. If there is no piracy, I am afraid that the box office figures will be even more jaw-dropping.

It wasn't until this time that someone woke up and turned out what Happy said at the premiere of the Chinese opera, "After "Titanic" is released in China, everything will be known. At the same time, I was also amazed that the domestic film market was still so huge. It's not that the audience doesn't go to the cinema to watch the movie, or that your level is too inferior.

Sometimes you are a little taller than others, which will attract jealousy. If it's too high, it's just worship. As for saying that he is happy to say that he will never make literary films from now on, after all, people are soft-spoken, and some people think that he is not too dry to say big things. With this inspiration, do you deserve it too?

As for these, it is beyond the influence of happiness.

He has always considered himself a low-key person.

The big ship said that it was crushed all the way. I was so happy that I slipped away to Hong Kong, visited my girlfriend, and secretly went into the cinema to watch the big boat twice. But he is now unpopular in Hong Kong, and the media is completely wishing them an early breakup, not to mention the "little white face eats soft rice" and the like. If it weren't for the strong psychological quality, falling in love with a goddess is really not something that ordinary people can afford. Li Jiaxin has always been the focus of paparazzi chase in Hong Kong, every time she is happy to come to Hong Kong, it will inevitably attract the paparazzi to stare from beginning to end, and when they meet, they ask: "Are you already living together" "Last time I went to France for a honeymoon, I won't play really" "Miss Li, according to rumors, Happy is the second generation of the red family in the mainland, do you want to enter the mainland when you find him as a boyfriend?" "Beiyan, don't pull the curtains so tightly next time, and I didn't secretly photograph you......"

"Damn, you said that you took a candid shot, shouldn't I pull it tighter." Happy almost rolled up his sleeves and beat people, there was always a flash of light in the building opposite the relationship, and this guy did it.

This pair of dog men and women are in love @ rape @ love @ hot, and they are not afraid of gossip. Separated by two places, the days of getting along are short, and every time they meet, they are bound to linger and be compassionate. also openly went shopping, which made many men in Hong Kong envious of Xiaoxiaokai's Yanfu.

This kind of gossip fever didn't get back on track until September.

……

"Li Jiaxin's discerning eye, her little boyfriend's new work "Crazy Smoking Gun" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival!"

"The young director is happy to bring his new film "Crazy Smoking Gun" to the Venice Film Festival, and is expected to win another international award this year......

"Since his debut, he has continued to win awards, is the second Wong Kar-wai about to be born?"

On September 5, Hong Kong's leading newspapers, Oriental Daily, Ming Pao, and Sing Pao, all carried the news on their headlines.
