Before you know it, March 1st has arrived.

The first season of "Criminal Minds", which has been completely broadcast, has set a record of 1.61 ratings on Beijing Satellite TV, and has entered the top five ratings in the first three months of the country - of course, it is only a TV series. On Golden Eagle Video, the total number of on-demand broadcasts of "Criminal Minds" has also exceeded the 2 billion mark, entering the top 10.

For a crime drama without a big star, it's amazing!

So in the past few days, the copyright battle over "Criminal Minds" has entered a white-hot level, and after receiving more and more letters of intent from TV stations, Golden Eagle Video has raised the offer from 30 million to 50 million, but it still can't satisfy Sun Ya's appetite. In other words, under Sun Peng's reminder, Sun Ya did not talk about overseas copyright issues at all, but only promised to talk about the follow-up copyright transfer in China.

For a while, the preparation for the second season was at an impasse.

Annoyed, Sun Ya even suggested that Lao Zhao simply start another stove and find a professional film and television company to cooperate, after all, the current "Criminal Minds" is not the "Criminal Minds" that he used the script to invest in, and some film and television companies are willing to invest a lot of money.

As for overseas rights, just sell them to CBS!

However, considering the good relationship with Golden Eagle Video in the past and various factors such as directors and actors, Lao Zhao still decided to try hard......

is also deadlocked, as well as the two bigwigs of Reincarnation Records.

In the case of not moving Sun Peng, Chen Feifei and Luca? Thomas's contradictions can no longer be concealed, and even vague news has been spread on the Internet. However, no matter how anxious the agent is, the queen of the music world is always reluctant to give Sun Peng a call.

On the one hand, she knows that Sun Peng will never agree, and on the other hand, the queen of heaven also wants to save face after all!

However, for Sun Peng, none of this is important, the important thing is that since March 1st has arrived, the first episode of "The Peerless Twins" will be launched in the evening, and the results of this cartoon are the most important things at the moment......

……

“…… Sales are so good? ”

A look of joy appeared between her eyebrows, Sun Peng waved at Hou Qingqing and Chen Muchen, and then walked out of her office.

"Yes, Mr. Sun."

The editor's tone at Sunflower Press was also full of joy, and he smiled and complimented: "The reputation of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' is very good, so it has also boosted the sales of 'Frozen'...... Of course, your martial arts fans should have done a lot, the previous set of picture books gave them a lot of confidence, and "Frozen" should be more popular with little girls......"

"Haha, that's just as well!"

Nodding vigorously, Sun Pengle couldn't close his mouth.

Because of the relatively high printing quality requirements, "Frozen" was only released a week ago, but in just one week, Chaff sold more than 6,000 copies, far more than "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" in the same period. In fact, until now, the sales volume of Narnia's legends has only been three or four hundred thousand, which is far from Sun Peng's expectations!

No way, the competition for children's books is so fierce.

Even on Earth, if "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" had not been published so early, but in the twenty-first century, would it have had such an astonishing impact? Just like the top animation IPs such as "Transformers" and "Dragon Ball", can they still be so successful in the era of a hundred flowers?

In Sun Peng's view, it's more about the times creating heroes.

So after experiencing a small disappointment in the sales of the first set of picture books, he is already very satisfied with the sales of "Frozen". And...... The biggest charm of this story is still in the animated movie!

After chatting with the editor for a few words, Sun Peng returned to Chen Muchen's office with a smile.

"Congratulations, junior brother!"

Seeing Sun Peng come in, Chen Muchen also smiled and congratulated: "Which one is going to be printed?" Tsk, the speed at which you make money is comparable to that of a money printing machine! ”

has been with Sun Peng for a long time, and he and Hou Qingqing both know Sun Peng's ability to make money.

Tianlong and Lu Ding Ji first printed one million sets, as long as you look at the pricing, you can know how much royalties Sun Peng can get, this guy will get all the investment in DreamWorks back with the money he earns in a month, which is simply envious and hateful!

"Where, where, it's still a little slower than the money printing machine."

Sun Peng smiled "modestly" for a moment, and then shook his head and said: "It's not to be printed, it's not martial arts, it's "Frozen" just published last week, the editor said that the sales are good, just give me good news." ”

"Frozen?"

Hearing Sun Peng's words, Hou Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up.

Hou Qingqing has seen these two sets of picture books written by the little junior brother, although she is no longer a child, but as an animator, she can still see the huge potential of the two sets of picture books. Thinking of what everyone was about to talk about just now, Hou Qingqing smiled whimsily: "Senior brother, otherwise our company will simply do your two sets of picture book animations!" I think if it can be made into an anime, it will definitely be popular, and it will also boost your picture book sales! ”

"They? Animation? ”

Smiling slightly, Sun Peng shook his head and said, "No, no, I won't pay attention to them in a short time, and I'm afraid our company doesn't have the strength to do so." ”

Chen Muchen smiled and said, "How is it possible? Qingqing, they even do such a good job of peerless double pride, can they still do this kind of picture book animation? You underestimate the strength of our company, right? ”

High salaries and ample production investment make DreamWorks increasingly attractive to talent.

The new company will inevitably experience a loss of talent, but as the animation of The Peerless Twins nears completion, everyone sees its growing quality and the strength of the company. So in the past two or three months, not only have the resignations gone, Hou Qingqing has also recruited a few better talents, and now the company is really strong!

That's why Hou Qingqing and Chen Muchen are so eager to find new projects now.

After all, no matter how high the salary you offer, who will stay if no new projects start in the future? For these industry elites, everyone is probably not willing to do it for nothing!

Shaking his head again, Sun Peng said indifferently: "Senior brother, what I mean is that if these two picture books are to be adapted, they will definitely not be serial animations on TV or the Internet, but will directly enter the big screen!" ”

"Animated films?"

Hearing this, Hou Qingqing's eyes instantly turned into a pair of big light bulbs!

"Yes, animated films!"

Nodding, Sun Peng looked at his technical director with a smile: "Senior sister, do you remember the question we talked about when we first met?" ”

"First time meeting? Talk about the problem? ”

With a frown, Hou Qingqing began to try his best to recall.

But Sun Peng didn't wait for her to think about it, nodded with a smile: "Yes, we talked about the production cost of animation at that time, you said that animation is such a thing, you can do it with an investment of 10,000 a minute, but you can also do it with an investment of 10 million a minute, but you didn't have the ability to do 10 million animation for a minute at that time......

"That's right, yes, I remembered!"

After Sun Peng's reminder, Hou Qingqing suddenly realized, nodded again and again, as if he remembered something, and suddenly looked at Sun Peng with a pair of round eyes: "Senior brother, you ...... You don't mean ......"

"10 million investment in a minute?"

Chen Muchen's mind flashed with inspiration, and he was immediately frightened!

"Haha, of course it's impossible!"

Looking at the shocked looks of the two senior brothers and sisters, Sun Peng suddenly laughed: "10 million a minute, 100 million in 100 minutes, plus the cost of publicity, even if the box office is 3 billion, we will lose to death...... The question is, has domestic animation had a box office of 3 billion? ”

Even if there are a hundred more time-travelers, you won't be able to create another Disney in a short period of time!

Why did Disney dare to invest more than $100 million in an animated movie? That's because they're Hollywood's long-established studios and have an unrivalled presence in the field of animation! So no matter how high the cost is, they have the ability to publicize it all over the world, and they also have the strength to distribute it to most countries!

What's more, in addition to the box office, there are also various derivative incomes!

Take Frozen as an example, the cost of 150 million is a huge box office of 1.2 billion US dollars, as well as countless peripheral licensing, music, stage plays, books and other income. What Sun Peng remembers so far is that in his previous life, his sister bought as many as four sets of Frozen books for her daughter alone, as well as various puzzles, building blocks, and even Frozen cakes!

An Aisha princess dress, there are long ones, short ones, and mopping ones, and the two girls have bought six sets one after another!

The power and influence of such a large company, do you dare to think?

So investing 10 million a minute or something, Sun Peng is just addicted at most.

DreamWorks has now made 30 episodes of peerless double pride, and even the distribution can only be in the form of online charging, and the peripheral products do not even have the strength to develop, if you really invest one billion to make an animated movie......

Do you think you didn't die fast enough?

However, after taking a deep breath, Sun Peng smiled slightly: "At least in three or five years, we definitely don't have the strength to do this kind of animation...... Well, maybe you can try it with other big companies. But in terms of production investment, we definitely don't want to be like the Americans, two or three million a minute is already amazing! ”

Investment has shrunk by more than half, but the cost in China is much lower than in the United States.

And although the world's domestic animation is not powerful,But it's basically limited to the theme、Script、Music, etc.,In terms of technology, although it's not as good as the United States and Japan and other animation powers,But if you really want to spend money on it, you will definitely be able to make good things.。 It's just that in these years, no one dares to do it ruthlessly......

But......

Two or three million? That's pretty awesome, too!

Biting her lip tightly, Hou Qingqing's eyes were full of expectation. If a year ago, she would only scoff when she heard this, but now she is looking forward to it - she sees the ruthlessness of this kid throwing money in front of her. And two or three million a minute, it's only two or three hundred million, Sun Peng is almost enough to save a few more years of royalties, right?

If he knew what Hou Qingqing was thinking at this time, Sun Peng would definitely cry and laugh.

Two or three hundred million, that's it?

Whose money doesn't blow in the wind...... Well, even if Sun Peng's money is easy to make, but do you really want to spend two or three hundred million or more to make a cartoon? In the case of not seeing the future clearly, he would rather cooperate with other large companies, or simply sell the script to the Americans!

Chen Muchen saw this much more clearly, shook his head and smiled: "Okay, two, we will have the opportunity to look forward to this kind of thing in the future, but now...... Don't forget what we're talking about! The peerless double pride is about to be launched in the evening, boss, when will your new job ideas be available? ”

"Yes, yes, let's get down to business!"

Sun Peng also put his thoughts back, and then took out a stack of blank paper from his bag as usual: "Actually, I have already written the story, this is the main work of DreamWorks in the coming year - a sports animation!" ”

"Sports animation?"

Looking at each other, Chen Muchen and Hou Qingqing were stunned for a moment.

Transitioning from martial arts animation to sports animation all at once, the span of his own boss is really big enough!

"Yes, sports animation!"

Thinking of his girlfriend, a sweet smile like a mystery appeared on Sun Peng's face: "Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce to you this bloody story, the story of a bad student who met a basketball beauty on the court......"

Coach, I want to play basketball!

Ouch, I've been holding back this sentence for a long time!
