Chapter 187: Contradiction
After a period of preparation, StarCraft - Wings of Liberty has finally begun.
Among them, under Bai Sitang's strong request, Ke Rong, the head of the Snow Wolf Animation Department, had no choice but to give up the position of chief supervisor to him.
The general supervisor is equivalent to the director position in the crew, and the quality of a film depends on him.
Of course, Bai Sitang, who has no experience, cannot really do a good job in this position, and the reason why he must hold this position is to grasp the absolute initiative.
The same script and different directors are two completely different works.
And this is also true in anime, where Bai Sitang needs to show the true charm of StarCraft, and if something goes wrong, he has to turn it around.
Wu Peng's poor child's office has been occupied by Bai Sitang, and he can only move to another place temporarily.
The office on the 16th floor, the exquisitely decorated office of more than 40 square meters has good light transmission, and you can see the dense vehicles and people coming and going downstairs through a huge tempered glass.
Bai Sitang sat on the boss's chair that originally belonged to Wu Peng, playing with the magnetic levitation globe with one hand, clicking the mouse to operate the cursor, and frowning as he looked at the web page.
"There's not enough money at all."
At present, under the premise of ensuring the company's operation, only 60 million funds can be mobilized.
However, Tang Tang Entertainment Company began to produce three works at the same time!
And these three works are imperative, regardless of the consideration of various factors, it must be made.
Of the three works, only the "Love Apartment" does not need him to worry about, and carefully counting the cost of internal product placement and a small amount of money should be enough to shoot.
Although the value of the leading actors of 'Love Apartment' has risen a lot, the salary is still the same as the first part, and there has been no change.
But there's one extra piece of income, and that's profit sharing!
Each lead actor will receive a 1.5% share of the total profits. The director Zheng Xing is a special case, without any guaranteed remuneration, accounting for 10% of the profit share.
In general, many big-name directors receive a direct profit share instead of a fixed honorarium.
Although some of the profits were ceded, it was still worth it in Bai Sitang's view, at least relieving the financial pressure.
The problem of the 'love apartment' was solved.
However, the conflict between StarCraft - Wings of Freedom and Ultraman Gaia over funding still needs to be resolved by him.
At the beginning, the filming of "Ultraman Tiga" consumed nearly 100 million yuan. Of course, the cost of 'Ultraman Gaia' will drop a lot, but it will cost at least 50 million to include special effects and other production costs!
The construction of Dinosaur Island, a gold-swallowing behemoth, is far away and occupies a large amount of funds, and Bai Sitang does not have much liquidity in his hands.
Thankfully, the original bet of 'Doraemon' and 'Genesis', the debt of 50 million to Snow Wolf was cleared, otherwise the situation would have been worse.
After pondering for a while, it was necessary to cooperate again.
Dialing Liu Qingyue's phone, there are some things that need to be handed over to her to solve. Liu Qingyue has returned to Xinzhou to re-manage Tang Tang Entertainment Company.
Smiled "goodmorning, dear~"
Liu Qingyue's silver bell-like voice muttered, "It's almost 11 o'clock, what's early." ”
"Hehe, don't worry about this, there's a matter you need to help solve."
It is inconvenient for others to be in the capital and busy making 'StarCraft', so it is just right to hand it over to Liu Qingyue.
Tangtang Entertainment has gradually moved on the right track, and it is no longer as necessary for Liu Qingyue to solve everything as last year. So she has plenty of time.
"What's the matter?" Liu Qingyue asked suspiciously.
"So, 'Ultraman Gaia' I want to find some partners to share the financial pressure, but you also know my situation... Therefore, I want to leave this matter to you, Apple TV's Fangzheng and Youtu.com and Qiandu Video Network should be very interested in this. ”
Then he said, "But tell them first." You can only give them a profit share, and you can also give them priority in online copyright or premiere. ”
"Yes. Okay..."
Bai Sitang is not worried about whether Liu Qingyue can solve this matter, after all, he and Ultraman's names are there, and I believe that Fang Zheng and Huang Di He Linsen will not miss such a good opportunity.
Hang up the phone and get to work.
Not only will he be the general director, but he will also be involved in the character setting, background art, and voice acting in the anime.
The characters in StarCraft are completely different from the handsome and dashing little fresh meat in white in mainstream Chinese anime, and the characters are generally much more muscular and rugged. This is also the style of the United States.
However, Bai Sitang has no intention of changing, and his style remains the same, but the characteristics of the protagonist have made some changes, with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, which has been changed to a yellow race.
Ke Rong looked at the original painting of the characters drawn by Bai Sitang. Frowning, obviously a little dissatisfied, he said
"Mr. Bai and the image of the character are very important, and this kind of rugged middle-aged man as the male protagonist will cause some people to be disgusted."
The characters in Genesis are the mainstream style, with men mostly small fresh meat and women more cute, much like the Japanese style of the previous life.
"This image best fits the character's identity and background. ”
"However, we also have to think about the market, this image... It is undoubtedly driving away the female audience. Ke Rong continued.
He undoubtedly attaches great importance to 'StarCraft', thinking that this is a work that is enough to subvert Chinese animation, and he has already devoted himself to it, so he naturally doesn't want this work to have any flaws.
However, the flaws in his eyes are indeed a feature in Bai Sitang's opinion, and the image of the characters is more realistic.
"No, I think Jimmy's image will be supported by a lot of women~" Bai Sitang said with a smile.
Ke Rong's face darkened, looking at Bai Sitang's debauched look, knowing what he was talking about. muttered in his heart, "This guy is too unreliable." ”
Bai Sitang saw Ke Rong and then said, "But..."
He waved his hand impatiently and said, "I have decided these things, and no one can change them." ”
Ke Rong, as the leader of Snow Wolf Animation, has always said the same, not to mention that his own opinion is very important in his opinion, but he was ignored by Bai Sitang, his face was full of anger, and he slammed the water glass in his hand on the table, and said angrily
"Nonsense! If a work wants to be successful, it must adopt the opinions of all parties, and you can't produce good works if you are a dictatorship like this! ”
Bai Sitang saw Ke Rong, who suddenly changed his face and played a temper at him, he was angry in his heart, and his right hand was clenched into a fist and hammered the table hard, and said angrily
"Since I am the Governor-General, you are my man and you must obey my orders! Otherwise, fuck me off! ”
A man passing by Bai Sitang's office heard an angry roar inside... My heart trembled, and I hurriedly left, for fear of being affected... (To be continued......)
