The budget figure is 80 million yuan, which is the result of the low quotation of various expenses in the Wei family animation manufacturers.And the actual cost may exceed.
Fortunately, with Gao Xu's investment of 30 million yuan, the funds raised were relatively smooth, and the projects received a total of 50 million yuan in investment.The entire production process takes about ten months.
In the early stage, Gao Xu was as busy as a top. He was not responsible for the production process in advance, but there were too many chores.There are various agreement documents to be signed and you have to bargain on rights.
Generally, Wang Cheng put forward various suggestions and plans, mostly referring to previous cases, and then sorting and transforming the suggestions to form a clearer and easier-to-understand narrative method, and inform Gao Xu of reference.
Then Gao Xu made decisions after his own weighing and judgment.
Gao Xu and others are also responsible for screenwriters and often participate in content discussions.Fortunately, Xiao Deng helped him a lot, and most of the time she assisted the director in the animation factory.
At Wang Cheng's suggestion, after several negotiations, Gao Xu became the agent of the investor.
He is fully responsible for the interests of investors and communicates with the manufacturer.
According to the signed agent terms, it is probably the case that other investors have no right to directly affect the production of the animation factory.
Wang Cheng believes that this can reduce some internal game friction in the middle and late stages.
As expected, controversy arose when the animation production entered November.
Several investors questioned the content, believing that some of them do not meet market demand.
The actual reason seems to be that the budget is insufficient, so you need to increase the money.
Everyone gathered in the conference room of the animation factory and had a long debate.
The investors brought military advisors and spoke very well, making the two directors weak.
But the animation director still seems reluctant to compromise.
At this time, someone finally proposed a solution, which was to ask Gao Xu to make a formal request to the director according to the agent agreement.
Money is paid by investors and risks are mainly borne by investors, so they certainly have the greatest decision-making power.
Unexpectedly, Gao Xu directly supported the director. The reason was very simple. He said: If you are away, you will not accept the orders of the king.He didn't want too many people to get involved in the production process and turned the work into a hodgepodge.
So everyone finally decided to increase the budget by another 20 million according to the director's plan.Gao Xu claimed an additional investment of 10 million yuan on the spot.
The cost of animation reaches 100 million yuan (in conversion, it is roughly equivalent to purchasing power of 700 million to 1 billion yuan).
However, since Gao Xu decided to make animated movies, there seems to be no market for things with too little cost. Mingguo has high requirements for the picture due to technological progress and audiences.
After the meeting, Gao Xu met the director Li Liang in the lounge.Li Liang's face was red and gratitude was overwhelming, but he didn't say thank you or something, so he smoked Gao Xu first when he came up.
When Gao Xu visited the animation factory before, he met Li Liang and had nodded each other.
Now this atmosphere finally gives Gao Xu a sense of friendliness.
But Gao Xu also thinks it is normal, and friendship must be something that can be attached, right?
Gao Xu waved his hand and said: Don’t smoke, thank you.
Li Liang coughed a few times and nodded: It's pretty good.I just smoked too much cigarettes, and I have had repeated pharyngitis recently. It’s very uncomfortable. I want to quit but can’t.
Gao Xu said: I heard that harmful substances are mainly tar. Should Director Li try e-cigarettes?
Li Liang nodded and said: Let’s try it back, otherwise health will be a big problem.
Everyone has their own worries.Gao Xu saw Wang Siqi coming at this time, and pointed at him and said, Wang Zhicai was thinking about his hair every day.
Wang Siqi immediately reached out and grabbed his hair a few times, and said: Director Li met the right person. Mr. Liu is really good.I have seen many people, and some people like to interrupt others the most. They are extremely impolite and completely ignore the feelings of others, like that...
Gao Xu immediately interrupted him and smiled in a playful tone: That's because I have a good memory.
What?Wang Siqi was a little confused.
Gao Xu said: People with bad memory, after you finish your long speech, others must not forget everything they think?
Wang Siqi was a little unhappy and reached out to stroke his sparse hair without saying a word.
But if he is not happy, Gao Xu doesn't have to give him too much face now.
Li Liang laughed and coughed.
After a while, Wang Siqi suddenly sighed and said: Mr. Liu is right, this seems to be a problem.But when I look for someone to invest, I don’t speak, and others don’t speak. Isn’t that embarrassing?
Gao Xu echoed: It makes sense.
After a few people chatted for a while, Li Liang smoked two cigarettes in a row and took the initiative to explain that he had ruined me in the conference room, so he walked out of the lounge together.It was getting late outside the window.
Gao Xu met Wang Cheng at the elevator entrance, reached out and patted him twice, glanced at Wang Cheng who was a little bulky, and said meaningfully: Not bad.
Wang Cheng understood and said with a smile: If we hadn't signed the agent agreement a few months ago, we wouldn't have finished it today, and we wouldn't have to eat dinner.
Gao Xu said: It turns out that I have never eaten pork or seen pigs running.
Wang Cheng smiled and said: Mr. Liu’s words are quite interesting.
The two walked out of the elevator and arrived at the parking lot.Gao Xu saw Miaojin's car next to his car.Miaojin pressed the car window: Wait for you to have supper together.
Gao Xu nodded and turned around and said: Wang Cheng, have dinner together?
Wang Cheng said tactfully: Oh, it’s a coincidence tonight. I even made an appointment with a friend, next time.He greeted Miaojin: Miss Wei, lucky to know.
Miao Jin also greeted her.
Gao Xu sat on the passenger seat, immediately leaned on the leather chair, and breathed out a long breath.
Miaojin started the car and asked softly: Are you tired?
Gao Xu turned his head and said: It's okay.The main thing is that I have no experience and have to think about everything repeatedly. I am usually too nervous.
Miao Jin smiled and said: The emperor's courage is still the same as before. Most people may not dare to go to a strange industry and do such a big thing if they have money.
It is because Miaojin gave capital, and this world capital is strength.Otherwise, nothing can be done, nothing can be done.Gao Xu said, I hope we can at least make the cost back.
Miaojin asked curiously: How do all parties distribute their income?
Gao Xu said: Investors can earn 70% of the box office revenue for the first half of the country, and the remaining 30% are the share of each party and taxes. In the future, our share will gradually decrease until about 40%.The foreign market is relatively complex, and the terms of screenings in each country are different, but we don’t have to worry about those things, just collect money.
Miao Jin nodded and said: Gao Xu already has experience.But we are responsible for making scripts and doing so many things, isn’t this money?
Gao Xu shook his head: It is almost negligible, mainly depends on the proportion of cash investment, and other effects are not very good.
The two of them first found a restaurant for dinner, and when they returned to the car, it was already very late.Miaojin drove Gao Xu to the near the rental apartment, and Gao Xu asked her to go up and sit.
Forget it, I can't stay overnight recently, and I have to talk to others when I go up, which is quite troublesome.Miaojin said softly again, I actually don’t like dealing with people very much.
Gao Xu nodded and said: I know.Then just talk in the car, and I will go upstairs in a while.He turned his head to look at Miaojin, and you seemed to like dark clothes very much.
Does it look good?Miaojin looked at him sideways and gently spread her arms.
She was wearing a dark wool jacket, a long skirt and socks and leather shoes. Such clothes made her face look whiter and more elegant, and her facial features with some makeup seemed to look more mature than her actual age, and she was a little more charming.
After a while, Gao Xu pondered: It’s mainly because people are good-looking.
Miao Jin whispered: Clothes are still quite important. Will different dressing styles make Gao Xu feel fresh?
Gao Xu was stunned for a moment, observed her eyes, and said: No matter what you wear, you have to take it off.
Miao Jin leaned a little towards this side and exhaled as if to the orchid: Who said that?
Gao Xu looked at her silently and found that Miaojin was not wearing a dress, but the top and skirt were separated.
He couldn't help but reach out to her wrist, both of them leaned sideways, whispering a few words from time to time.
Miao Jin whispered softly: Remember the New Year’s Eve before the vassal of Yunnan?
Well... Gao Xu responded.
Miao Jin sighed a little, and then smiled: The fireworks are very beautiful, maybe they were too nervous at that time and were very impressed.
Gao Xu thought for a while, then turned around and said: It seems that it is not very safe here. Cars and carriages are different. This car has a shock absorbing system.
Miao Jin said: There are not even street lights in this alley. We have said so long just now, but we didn’t even see a passerby.There are sun blinds in the rear row.Her breathing was a little uneven, and she leaned over to snuggle up to Gao Xu, but there was a leather armrest box in the middle, which made her feel a little struggling when she moved.
The front is not spacious, so let's go to the back row to talk.Gao Xu finally couldn't help but say.
Miao Jin turned her head gently and asked: Are you just talking?
Gao Xu said yes, and she glared at him and pretended to be coquettish: You coax the child.
However, she took the initiative to untie the safety buckle, and the two of them opened the car door in a tacit understanding and walked into the rear seat of the car.
The seats in the rear are very soft and comfortable and spacious.
This car is too big and it shouldn't feel good when driving, but the real comfortable place is in the back row.
During the silence, a slight sound of electric current sounded in the car. Miaojin pressed a button and the surrounding curtains automatically blocked them.
Only the lights in the distance ahead are on, so that the dim air will not be invisible.
Gao Xu approached Miaojin and could detect her divine gaze, and could smell the fragrance of her body from her nose.It smells good, but the breath is different from the imperial concubines back then, or it may be due to the changes in the current and modern skin care ingredients.
Fortunately, with Gao Xu's investment of 30 million yuan, the funds raised were relatively smooth, and the projects received a total of 50 million yuan in investment.The entire production process takes about ten months.
