Chapter 18: Shocking Numbers

The fourth ni is called the Walter Fourth Ni company, and its name comes from its early founder, the Walter Sini.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the fourth Ni completed the transformation from silent to sound with the animation of a humanoid mouse driving a boat; A few years later, he further completed the transition from black and white to color with the three-color process animation "Flower Tree".

The Fourth Niche didn't stop there, and a few years later, it produced the world's first feature-length animated film, based on the fairy tale Snow White.

This feature-length animated film has achieved unprecedented success, and at the same time established the fourth Nepal in Hollywood, and even the world's leading animation technology.

Later, because of World War II, the entire film industry was affected, and the fourth Ni could not maintain the output of feature-length animated films, so he began to combine short films.

Until the end of World War II, the fourth Nepal ushered in a golden period of development. At this stage, the Fourth Ini photographed almost all the well-known fairy tales in the West, including but not limited to "Sleeping Beauty", "Alice in Wonderland", "Sword in Stone" and so on.

However, with the death of the founder, the Fourth Ni, the company fell into stagnation for a while, and the "Hound and the Fox" produced in 81 even led to a decline in the quality of the whole film due to lack of funds.

In the original history, the fourth nun in the 90s completely regained its strength, still starting with the fairy tale "The Mermaid", and rose again with the blessing of stories such as "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin", and finally became an aircraft carrier in the animation and even film industry.

At this moment, the fourth Ni is still in the stage of stagnant exploration, although it is still a first-line company in the animation industry, according to the size of the aircraft carrier in later generations, it is still 108,000 miles away.

However, Song Mu knew this because she was not from this time and space. When she was in college, these were the key points that she had to mark before the exam.

At this point in time, although Huaguo is slowly opening up, even if it is an animation professional, it will not systematically care about the development of animation abroad, how can Han Yangqiu see the shadow of the fourth Ni just from the script? !

Could it be this Han Yangqiu...... Also a traverser?! No...... If he were a traverser, he should have found out what I was doing in the first place......

Song Mu was still thinking nonsense, but Han Yangqiu had already taken the lead in explaining, "I came back from studying abroad." ”

The implication is that I am very aware of the situation abroad.

Song Mu nodded secretly.

At that time, "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" was originally a commercial attempt, which largely borrowed from the mainstream animation architecture of foreign countries, and in 99 years of mainstream animation, eight out of ten have come from the fourth Ni.

The current fourth Ni's feature-length animation, although it has not yet reached the complete pattern of the aftermath, but it also has its own certain routine, Han Yangqiu, as a returnee, can be seen at a glance It is completely understandable.

"That's right, I just want to make our Chinese animation go to the world through our efforts," Song Mu said firmly: "If possible, I would like our studio to replace the fourth Ni!" ”

Through our efforts, let our studios take their place!

What a great ideal, what a heroic ambition!

Although Liu Xiaoping and others do not have a systematic understanding of the fourth ni, they also know that it is one of the best animation companies in the world.

If someone else said such a thing, they would definitely disdain it in their hearts, even if they didn't laugh at it to their faces.

However, when the person who said this was their team leader, the person they almost worshipped blindly, they had a faint feeling of enthusiasm!

It was the first time that the elite group knew that Song Mu had such ambition and pride, and after a moment of sluggishness, everyone's eyes lit up.

"When are we going to start working on this anime?" Li Xuelin asked with some excitement.

At this moment, in his heart, compared to letting Huaguo Animation go to the world, "Seven Brothers" is definitely a real small job.

At the critical moment of "Forehead ......", Song Mu dropped the chain by himself, "Although I really want to say that it will start now, but I'm sorry, I can only say that I can wait until I have the opportunity......"

Everyone also woke up from the state of being beaten with chicken blood in an instant, after all, they were all professionals, so they naturally understood why Song Mu said this.

With such a mainstream script and such a great ideal, it is naturally impossible to make it as rough as usual. If this feature-length animated film wants to be perfect, the budget required is probably astronomical.

"If you want to borrow from the fourth Ni style, I'm afraid you can't do without songs, right?" Han Yangqiu asked suddenly.

Although Song Mu didn't know why he suddenly asked this, he still replied: "Less than the fourth Ni, there are four songs needed in the plan." ”

Han Yangqiu didn't speak immediately, but said after a moment of mental calculation: "With your story framework, if you want to reach the international average, the production cost will probably start at five million." ”

Song Mu was shocked by Han Yang Qiulu's hand again, but he didn't expect that this person who had been fiddling with the camera and didn't like to talk was actually a treasure boy!

The price he calculated was exactly the price Song Mu had estimated!

In the original era, the effect of "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" was honestly not very good, but even if it was not very good, the investment cost 12 million.

But that was more than ten years later, and the current wage level in Haishi is one-tenth of that at that time. The current 5 million will be at least worth the investment of more than 50 million in 99 years. Not to mention the era before Song Mu traveled, this must be a big production of hundreds of millions!

Liu Xiaoping and the others were also shocked, although they thought it was an astronomical amount, but if it was five million...... That's astronomical, isn't it?!

"If you want to be at the world level, you have to do at least that." Song Mu shrugged helplessly, "Have you seen Fourth Ni's "The Hound and the Fox"? ”

Wang Xue and Han Yangqiu said they had seen it, while Liu Xiaoping and Li Xuelin said they hadn't seen it.

"It doesn't matter if you've seen it or not, this film was a few years ago, with an investment of more than 10 million meters." Song Mu continued: "This was when the fourth nun began to decline and investment decreased. ”

Liu Xiaoping exclaimed: "According to the exchange rate of previous years, this will be 20 million soft sister coins faster!" Does anyone spend so much money on an animation? ”

Song Mu pursed his lips disdainfully, thinking that he was only 1 to 2 and what was exciting, if I want to tell you about the exchange rate of my era, I have to scare you to death~

"Do you know what the global box office of this movie is?" Han Yangqiu explained lightly: "Sixty-four million meter knives. ”
