YUKI Studios.
When Gu Xue heard from Misawa that the crowdfunding amount had reached 400,000 in three hours, the whole person seemed to collapse, leaned on the back of the chair, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't look at Gu Xue pretending to be calm, in fact, she is also quite panicked......
If you can't raise it, it's really embarrassing......
$200,000 ......
Although the earth also set a quota of 150,000 when it did the TRIGGER crowdfunding for "Little Witch Academy", but TRIGGER was formed by people from the house after all, and there are Imaishi Yoyuki, Otsuka Masahiko, Yoshiyo and other bigwigs who have thrown Gu Xue dozens of streets away, and YUKI Studio can't be compared at all.
And she also raised the price by $50,000......
Don't underestimate the $200,000.
A lot.
The future plan of Earth's animation, the money for the animation company to make an episode of OVA animation is only 38 million yen, which is only 350,000 US dollars and 2.4 million Chinese dollars.
38 million yen, because it is a project to train new talents, and it is also a budget for the theater version.
Among them, the focus of the painting part has the largest budget.
Storyboarding: 800,000 yen
Money for character design: 800,000 yen
Supervision for six months, supervision for four months, and supervision for four months, including guiding materials: 2,400,000 yen + 2,400,000 yen + 1,600,000 yen
Original painting: 20,000 yen per card, based on 380 cards, the total budget is 7.6 million yen
Animation check: 750,000 yen
Animation: 600 yen per sheet, 11,000 sheets, a total of 6.6 million yen
Reservation for painting: 450,000 yen
It adds up to a total of 23.4 million yen, which is about 1.5 million yuan and 220,000 US dollars......
And the process after painting and the remuneration of other personnel.
Production management, producer, production progress, coloring, background, photography, sound (including voice actors), music, compilation.
A total budget of 14 million yen.
The budget for the entire future anime project is 38 million yen.
Although the exchange rate is different, the price is different, and there are certain small differences in various aspects, the place where Gu Xue is currently located, the animation future project she participates in, and the budget given by the association to Snakehead Animation Production Company are roughly that much.
Of course, this is only for the production side.
But it's really a lot.
If it's an ordinary TV anime, how can there be so many.
For ordinary TV animations, the production cost of an episode of the same length may only be about 1,000~15 million yen, including the painting part and all subsequent processes.
However, it does not include expenses such as publicity.
Therefore, 200,000 US dollars is really not low, and theoretically speaking, it is enough to make an ordinary TV version of the animation.
Really don't underestimate the power of words such as 'industry maturity' and 'assembly line'.
Although, Gu Xue's crowdfunding wants to make a theatrical version, it must not be calculated according to TV animation, but also according to the budget of the animation's future project, plus the increase in the length of the theatrical version, 200,000 US dollars is far from enough, at least nearly one million US dollars, five or six million Chinese dollars.
But that doesn't mean she can't invest in other companies.
Crowdfunding was originally to compete for a certain right to speak, and to make others trust YUKI Studio.
Of course.
Gu Xue actually had a crazy idea.
If $200,000 is raised, no one invests.
That......
Draw the storyboard yourself, draw your own character, be the supervisor yourself, be responsible for half or more of the original painting, and you can draw a part of it yourself, and you don't need a salary, and use most of the money on the blade.
Raise $200,000, take some by yourself, and forcibly start the project......
And then I don't look for publishers anymore.
Play on the web.
Just do it as half a personal animation.
At the same time, I practiced my hands for the people in the studio.
Released five years later......
Anyway, during the crowdfunding, Gu Xue specially asked Misawa Guang not to mention the release time......
As long as the construction period is long enough.
There's nothing you can't do.
Otherwise, how do you think an independent animator like Makoto Shinkai made an independent animation?
In the early stage of "The Voice of the Stars", I spelled it out by myself......
Well, but...... If you really want to do this, it's estimated that the YUKI studio animation will go bankrupt after it is done, except for cultivating a bunch of people and leaving a theatrical version of the animation, there is no benefit at all.
Gu Xue was just thinking about it.
Just when Gu Xue was distracted.
"400,000!" Hiroshi Misawa was still muttering excitedly.
Gu Xue slowly recovered from her relieved state, and asked softly, "Calm down, wipe the from the corner of your mouth......
Misawa Guang's face darkened: "You can't speak?"
"Okay, let's get ready." Gu Xue glanced at the storyboard next to the workbench and smiled, "Tomorrow, I will notify everyone, we will have a meeting, the promotional animation of our studio is estimated to be delayed, and we have work." ”
"It's time to prepare." Misawa Hiroshi didn't care about anymore, and smiled brightly, "Four hundred thousand in three hours, I really don't believe that it can't attract investment, even if YUKI Studio has just been established." ”
A newly established studio has the opportunity to produce a theatrical version of the animation.
It's really exciting and very happy.
It's also a great opportunity.
You must know that when the average animation studio was first established, as long as there was no wealthy investment father behind it, most of them could only take on outsourcing and advertising and other brush experience with painstaking experience.
Now YUKI Studio can do the theatrical version of the brush experience, and the starting point is ridiculously high.
"That's right."
Gu Xue looked at Misawa Guang, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What do you think...... Do we have a chance to raise millions of dollars......"
GU XUE REMEMBERED THAT WHEN THE EARTH TRIGGER CROWDFUNDING, IT SEEMED THAT IT TOOK FIVE HOURS TO REACH $150,000 AND RAISE MORE THAN 600,000 DOLLARS IN A MONTH, AND THE SITUATION OF YUKI STUDIO TO LAUNCH CROWDFUNDING WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THEIRS, 400,000 IN THREE HOURS, SO ......
Bold ideas.
Hiroshi Misawa also vaguely guessed and said in surprise: "No, do you want the studio to fund ...... independently?" It's impossible, we have no experience at all, not to mention that millions can be just enough for the production cost, and the money that needs to be spent in other aspects is ......"
"The theatrical version will be about 50 minutes long, and I'll be in charge of some of the drawings. Storyboards, character design, and supervision will all be drawn and undertaken by me, and ......"
Gu Xue picked up the pencil on the workbench and spun around.
"We're completely feeling the rocks and crossing the river, and we end up animating it, which is a huge benefit to the studio."
Hiroshi Mizawa: "......"
It's scary.
Seeing his expression, Gu Xue also knew that her idea was too bold, and sighed: "Forget it, what I originally thought was that with the current capabilities of our studio, it must be difficult to make a theatrical version of animation, the original painting part is more or less, and the art part will definitely be outsourced, not to mention others." After finding an investor, this kind of thing will definitely happen. ”
"But I actually...... If you want to do it slowly, extend the construction period a little, and train some people in the studio, it is best to complete the original painting and art in the studio, and lay a good foundation...... But I seem to be thinking too much. ”
Misawa Hiroshi smiled bitterly: "It's too scary, if you do this, although the foundation is laid, but the studio will completely subconsciously rely on you in the future, without you, maybe we can't even do animation...... In this way, it is better to find an investor, win the right to speak, arrange a reasonable schedule, and complete the animation, so as not to delay the cultivation of people. ”
When Gu Xue heard his words, she was stunned, and after a long pause, she suddenly realized:
"yes."
