"There's nothing surprising about that, although it's less than 10 million dollars, but it's not necessarily too bad."

Su Chen explained in a calm tone.

He also thought that Store Manager Xu was thinking that he was spending less money.

After all, different animated movies invest different amounts of money in animation.

Japanese-style 2D movies such as "The Garden of Words" and "Second Five" are at best a million yuan.

And "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Big Fish and Begonia" such as Chinese 3D, the cost gap is huge, generally around tens of millions of yuan, of course, in recent years, "Your Name" or "Weather Child", compared with the Shinkai Makoto series ten years ago, I don't know how much better, so it can also be attributed to tens of millions.

Finally, there is the American 3D of Disney Pixar such as "Frozen" and "Toy Story", with the highest investment, basically about one billion yuan.

A good work needs the support of money, but it also does not need the support of money.

Ask yourself, is the billion-dollar "Frozen" good? Pretty.

What about tens of millions of "Your Name"? It's also quite fragrant.

What about the millions of "Second Five"? Well, it doesn't seem to be too bad.

It can only be said that technical problems and the plot of the script still account for the lion's share.

If you have a wonderful script and profound connotation, then even if you are a small workshop with only a million investment, there will still be people who pay for it.

In this world, there is no need to worry about funding.

Animated films are a completely new thing, there is no Hayao Miyazaki series, there is no Makoto Shinkai series, there is no DreamWorks series, and there is no Disney series.

In such a barren situation, as long as Station B dares to rectify, it will definitely be a monopoly, and there is no need to worry about the problem of hitting the street at all.

Just highlight a stable word.

"Uh......"

Store Manager Xu smiled bitterly, embarrassed to express his opinion, and after a little hesitation, he said with some pain: "You can give it a try if you invest in it, but what does the content of the animated movie say?" Do you still want to adapt yours or the manga? ”

"Don't worry about that......"

Su Chen's face was full of confidence.

For a world without animated films, any animated movie will inevitably cause an uproar.

It's like a world without shoes, you don't have to get those famous brands like Adinaike, just take a slipper and it's enough to shock the Quartet.

But Store Manager Xu didn't think so.

His first reaction was to pull "Death note" or "Lelouch the Rebel" over and make a movie.

At present, the quality of these works is stable, there are outstanding characteristics, and the style of painting is mostly fixed, so if you really want to make an animated movie, with the popularity of the original work, it may not be really feasible.

So he proposed, "Now that "Death note" is so popular, I wondered, why not try the script of DN for the animated film project? The highly popular original work and the novel film format are expected to be very optimistic at the box office. ”

"What the hell are you proposing?" Su Chen rolled his eyes, "Isn't it already animated now, how can anyone watch a movie after watching a serial animation?" No, no, no! ”

That's right, it's not a theatrical derivative, how can anyone spend so much money, so isn't he mentally retarded?

"What about ...... "Your Name"? I feel that this kind of beautiful and brisk short story is more in line with the concept you said. ”

I have to say that Store Manager Xu's sense of smell is still relatively keen.

"Your Name" originally had a movie version, with a huge investment and a big hit.

It's really okay to make an animated movie.

However......

"Nope."

Su Chen still refused.

The technology involved in "Your Name" is a bit too awesome, but it's all realistic synchronous framing, and every frame is like a wallpaper, and it's really almost interesting to completely restore it in this world.

Even if it can be popular, Su Chen doesn't want to magnify the flaws of the movie.

That way it won't taste good.

So, let's put aside Violet and Junming, who have advanced picture quality.

This is too difficult for the production team at this stage.

"The adaptation is too cheesy, and this time we're going to make it original."

"Original?"

"yes, give me some time, I'll write a new movie script."

"Wouldn't it be too risky?" Store Manager Xu couldn't help but waver.

has invested a lot in the first place, but now I want to have an original script, and the work will not be adapted if it is on fire......

If you're not careful, it's easy to cry.

"If it's risky, I'll invest it all." Su Chen was disdainful, "Anyway, this time I'm still in charge of the script and supervision, if your old man is reluctant to give up these millions, forget it." ”

"Ahem...... Elder Xu blushed, "It's not a matter of money, I'm just worried that a completely original story is risky." ”

"You just say you don't invest, right? If you don't vote, just wait for me to crook your mouth so that you don't regret it, and then the animated movie comes out and slaps you in the face and makes you snap. ”

"I'll vote! Can't I vote? Store Manager Xu was embarrassed, "What the hell is a crooked mouth......

"Well, then the two of us will prepare funds together, 10 million."

"Huh? Ten times the DN, isn't it eight million? ”

"Who said eight million, I said that it is more than ten times, how can eight million be?"

“……”

Store Manager Xu was depressed.

It's not like that's how money is squandered.

This is a brand-new concept that no one has practiced yet, and it is really so confident to invest so much money directly?

"Okay, if you agree to invest, just wait for the good news."

If he wants to engage in animated films, Su Chen naturally wants to invest a lot of money by himself.

No one wants too much money anyway, does it?

After talking to Manager Xu about the matter, he went to tell Yin Sha and Feng Yu about the progress of the comics, and after seeing that there was no problem, Su Chen returned to the residence and designed the movie script.

This negotiation was generally smooth, although Store Manager Xu seemed grinding and chirping this time compared to before, but these reactions were basically within his expectations.

In the face of novelty and risky things, who is not cautious, for fear of collapse and loss.

When he got home, Su Xiaoxiao noticed that he had been out for a while and came back, and couldn't help asking:

"Why did you come back so soon? Fishing again and asking for leave? ”

"I'm going to die when I touch a mallet fish, right?" Sitting down on the sofa, Su Chen took a break, "I have something to do this time, I want to design the script and character design of the animated movie, and I plan to complete it as quickly as possible in the next few days, and I need your help." ”

The script plus all kinds of character storyboards or something, even if it is a moving palace, it is not a small workload.

"Animation for film? Are you just going out and talking about this today? The little girl was surprised.

"yes."

"It's okay to help, but what script are you going to write?"

"Probably, it's an emotional inspirational film."

Su Chen said unfathomably.

For the content of the script of the animated film, he has long had a choice in mind.
