Three days later, just after school at noon, Xu Zheng received a call from Station B.

"Hey, who's that?"

"It's me, Yu Wangsheng."

"Hello Mr. Yu, why do you have time to call me?" Xu Zheng said solemnly, vaguely knowing in his heart that there should be a conclusion on the matter of investment.

"Are you free now? I'd like to talk to you about the Zodiac Sign's side of investment. Yu Wangsheng's tone was more solemn, which made Xu Zheng's heart sink.

Three days ago, he had a very good conversation with Yu Wangsheng and Jiang Qingcheng in the general manager's office at the headquarters of Station B, and Yu Wusheng was also willing to invest in his adaptation of "Zodiac".

But this call made Xu Zheng feel a little bad.

What went wrong?

Xu Zheng took this idea to the headquarters of Station B, and soon came to Yu Wangsheng's office.

"Sit." Yu Wangsheng saw Xu Zheng knocking on the door and entering, rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly, he was not in the mood to laugh, but said cautiously, "The market research of the evaluation team has come out." ”

Xu Zheng didn't speak, and his mood was slightly apprehensive.

"Your "Zodiac" will be invested by Station B, but three million should be impossible." Yu Wangsheng said apologetically, because Xu Zheng reported a production fund of 9 million two days ago, of course, according to Xu Zheng, he has already pulled up an investment of 6 million. Although Yu Wusheng was surprised, he also promised Xu Zheng that as long as the process went well, the remaining three million B stations would definitely be in place.

Of course, there must be a complete plot story. However, Xu Zheng knows that the first three episodes are just to attract investment. After all, whether it is in the film and television industry or the animation industry, there are too many amazing works at the beginning, but most of them die or collapse halfway, which is extremely disappointing. So now it is becoming more and more difficult for investors to pull.

And in the past few days, Xu Zheng has been thinking about the follow-up plot of "Zodiac", and he is also waiting for the reply of Station B.

As a result, I didn't expect Station B to suddenly change the hexagram, and anyone who encounters this kind of thing will not be happy, but Xu Zheng said calmly, "Mr. Yu, can I know the reason?" ”

"Sister killing plot." Yu Wusheng spit out four words, and then said helplessly, "After the market research of our evaluation team, from 2015 to the present, there have been a total of three animations of the sister-killing plot in the past five years, but they were all blocked in the end. ”

"Sealed?" Xu Zheng looked confused, "What's going on?" ”

"Reported." Yu Wusheng said helplessly, "I was reported by a group of people who are under the banner of women's rights, but in fact they are sunspots." ”

To be honest, Huaxia is indeed a green light in terms of animation, blood, eroticism, and once turned a blind eye, as long as there is no too bad social behavior, it doesn't hurt in this regard.

But if someone reports under the pretext of this, it's fine to have a small number of reports, but if the number of reports is large, it will attract the attention of the Animation Association. If the audit finds that it does not meet the standards, it will be banned directly.

"This..."Xu Zheng suddenly didn't know what to say, the plot of killing his sister is the key to "Zodiac", and he has even been thinking about how to kill in the past two days to make the audience feel not terrifying, and even make the audience feel aesthetic.

As a result, now Yu Wangsheng told him that there is such a group of sunspots who are stirring up trouble on the Internet under the banner of feminism and supervising the animation?

How idle is this?

Yu Wangsheng saw Xu Zheng's ugly face and comforted, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much, after our investigation, the popularity of those three works is not high, and there is indeed a great insult to women in the animation, so they were reported and banned." However, the evaluation team will take into account all aspects, so we decided to reduce the capital investment, so as not to damage the company's interests due to the real lockdown. ”

To be honest, Yu Wangsheng was also very helpless. He was very optimistic about Xu Zheng's adaptation of "Zodiac", and even Jiang Qingcheng praised it, but this reason made them retreat.

And Xu Zheng is a little speechless, according to Yu Wangsheng, as long as the girl in the animation is a damned person, then there is no problem. But the line of this 'damned man' is very blurred.

What if it's the protagonist enemy? So should the other party be damned or not? Isn't it life and death to be an enemy?

However, this also suddenly reminded Xu Zheng that it was also about Tu Qing, the female supporting role, before he had been thinking about arranging a disgusting plot for Tu Qing and Su Qilin to make the audience sick, and then let the protagonist slaughter.

But now it seems that we must rethink how to let the protagonist and Tu Qing have a life-and-death feud.

From childhood sweethearts to enemies of life and death... Xu Zheng suddenly had a headache, but he looked at Yu Wangsheng and said, "It's okay, and if it weren't for Mr. Yu's reminder, I might have to suffer some hardships in terms of market research." He really didn't expect that there was a reason for this, and now he is extremely glad to find Station B to pull investment.

It is definitely a personal investment, and everything is based on him. And although Baiming Entertainment has also done market research, it is not unusual to kill sisters or anything in the film and television industry... Only Zhang B will consider this aspect, and it is very sensitive to these places. Thinking of this, Xu Zheng said strangely, "Didn't anyone report the plot of killing my sister in the movie and TV series?" ”

Every year there are piles of dead girls in TV series and movies.

Yu Wusheng said in a deep voice, "The entertainment industry has formed its own industrial chain, so even if someone reports it, nothing will happen." But the animation industry is an emerging industry, the capital is still very weak, and there are also the Animation Association and the Animation Administration above, plus the beginning of the rise of the industry, so the animation industry is relatively strict. Like the recent mobile game "District 7", it was also reported because it was too scary, and then it was rectified. Speaking of this, Yu Wangsheng showed a look of crying and laughing, "There are also people who think that the girls in TV series and movies are not really dead, after all, the actors are alive." But the girl in the anime died, and she was really dead! ”

Xu Zheng supported his forehead, he really wanted to send an expression of 'wake up brother, paper man' to those sunspots.

Xu Zheng knows that he can't change the strange thinking of these people, you can't expect billions of people around the world to have a few mental retards, so he has to make changes in himself. Thinking of this, Xu Zheng said, "How much does Station B plan to invest?" ”

"Two million." Yu Wusheng smiled slightly, "I originally planned to invest only 1.5 million, but because I was more optimistic about "Zodiac", I increased it to 2 million. And these two million funds will be transferred to your studio's account in two batches. Of course, the premise is that we have to see the animated plot of the season of "Zodiac". ”

In the end, Xu Zheng nodded and agreed.

In this way, he has an investment of eight million, and eight million is actually enough to start production, if you don't strive for excellence in animation.

However, this time also made Xu Zheng have a long eye on market research, if it weren't for Yu Wangsheng and his popular science, he wouldn't know about this issue.

Just fell asleep...
