Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

Chapter 119: Only dying for the country on the battlefield

Summer vacation is over and the second grade of junior high school has started!

Looking around, the school gate is full of fertilizer bags containing clothes and bedding.

In the new semester, there are new students who join the multimedia class, and a few who quit the multimedia class. The number of multimedia classes in the second grade of junior high school has increased to four.

However, Zhang and his party took leave of absence and went to Dreamweaver Culture just after reporting for work on the first day of school.

Sitting in the conference room of DreamWeaver Culture, Zhang and his party looked solemn.

Around the long table in the conference room, there were also managers such as Hu Weishi, Zhou Xingguo, Wang Yunfei, and Sun Yawen sitting.

His expression was serious compared to the others.

Wang Yunfei's face was full of excitement.

Because DreamWeaver Culture is finally planning to launch an anime movie!

Since joining Dream Weaver Culture, Wang Yunfei has led the team to complete the 123 series of animations for "Unlucky Bear", the animation for "Natsume's Book of Friends" and a large number of advertising animations.

Although these animations have won many awards at home and abroad and brought him honors, as an animation practitioner, what he hopes most is of course to be able to make animated movies and put them on the big screen.

Hu Weishi had a more steady style of doing things, so she considered: "Is this a bit hasty?"

Zhang Yixing shook his head, "We must seize time. This year, the country has issued policies to support domestic production. This opportunity is very rare. At this time, we can get the greatest support for the animated film project, from financial support to resource support, to relaxed review. This is a rare opportunity." ."

Zhou Xingguo also agreed with Hu Weishi's proposal and said, "But this policy cannot be canceled in a short time. Why not wait a few years until the technology is more mature and the company's funds are stronger? Then it will be more secure!"

Zhang Yixing sighed, knocked on the table and said: "Because of the human heart!"

Hu Weishi and others immediately frowned.

Zhang and his party looked at everyone's expressions and said slowly:

“The introduction of animation support policies is like a piece of fat thrown into the forest, which will soon attract the interest of tigers, leopards, jackals and even maggots.

Believe me, on the first day this policy was promulgated, some unscrupulous people have already found loopholes in this policy, and cheating will continue to emerge in the future.

Before these things come to a head, and while the country will not tighten its policies in a short period of time, we need to obtain our greatest interests, legal and compliant interests! "

Hu Weishi fell silent. She knew that this would definitely happen.

Even Zhou Xingguo couldn't help but curse.

There is one thing Zhang Yixing has not said yet, and that is that based on history, next year the country will introduce a Chinese Film Protection Month policy.

Establishing an animation film project at this time can not only produce the film before the animation support policy becomes violent, but also benefit from the film protection policy.

If it's too late, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Who knows how long the animation support policy will last?

So the sooner a film project is launched, the better.

"Another point is that with the development of the economy and the animation industry, the cost of film production will become higher and higher in the future. I believe everyone has noticed this. I believe our company's funds will continue to increase, but animated films The increase in production costs will not increase by tens of thousands, but will probably increase by millions or tens of millions. Time waits for no one!"

Seeing that no one was talking anymore in the conference room, Wang Yunfei took out a stack of information and distributed it to everyone, and said: "According to cost estimates, the production cost of "Kung Fu Panda" is about 3000 million!"

Zhang Yixing nodded. His goal was "Kung Fu Panda", so he asked Wang Yunfei to make a cost budget in advance.

According to historical trajectory, "Kung Fu Panda" should be released in the year of the Olympics, that is, 2008. This ugly movie with a Chinese story background cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Compared with foreign labor costs, China's labor costs are really low.

Even more than twenty years later, the cost of 3D animations such as "The Return of the Great Sage", "Nezha" and "The Origin of the White Snake" is only tens of millions.

Zhang and his team don't need a perfect replica of "Kung Fu Panda" for later generations.

Although Zhang Yixing introduced the most advanced technical equipment to the animation department, a technical gap of more than four years still exists.

But "Kung Fu Panda" does not need to benchmark against later versions. What it needs to benchmark is just other 3D animation movies around the world.

Nowadays, 3D animation production has become relatively common. In addition to "Unlucky Bear", there have been several 3D animations launched on CCTV in the past two years alone.

Hu Weishi looked at the detailed budget analysis of the movie and couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, the novel, comic, magazine and publishing business has been very profitable in recent years, and the overseas profits from the novels "Twilight Saga" and "Final Fantasy" have made the company extremely profitable.

Coupled with the hot sales of animation peripheral products, the company's funds can fully support the production of seven "Kung Fu Panda" movies at the same time.

However, the introduction of bookstores and factory production lines requires a lot of money, so some money cannot be moved.

Fortunately, another overseas income will arrive next month.

Moreover, the capital investment in film production is invested step by step along with the production, rather than a one-time investment in the early stage. In this case, funding is not a problem at all.

When Zhang and his party saw Hu Weishi and others obviously relaxed, they continued:

“Also, it’s been four years since “Kung Fu Panda” came out.

In the past four years, in addition to novels, there have also been related comics, toys and peripherals and other related products, making this IP known to many people, so we have a certain audience base.

According to the progress estimate, the production cycle of this movie will be 2 to 3 years. During this period, I will successively launch "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Kung Fu Panda 3" to further consolidate and expand the IP impression and prepare for the release of the movie. hot!

As for the later film promotion, we can completely use our massive published works, magazines, bookstores and other channels to promote the film. We can even cooperate with movie theaters to buy books and get movie ticket coupons, etc. This is just our own channel.

As for other external channels, you can use them as long as you spend money. "

Seeing that Zhang and his party had already thought about the film's post-production promotion, everyone in the conference room put aside their worries.

Zhang Yixing smiled and said to Hu Weishi:

"Sister Wei Shi, I am willing to add some obstacles to the Japanese and ugly countries. Time waits for no time! I hope Dream Weaver Culture, after publishing its works, will once again sound the clarion call to counterattack the world! We will eventually take this step. As for the result, we can only understand the battlefield. If the country dies, why should it be returned wrapped in horse leather?"

Hu Weishi was stunned, remembering in a daze a few years ago, the young man in front of him raised his fist and said: "I would like to add some trouble to the ugly country of Japan!"

At that time, she thought he didn't speak passionately enough.

Now that I hear him say this again, and think back to the years when he has sailed overseas with the dream-weaving culture, this young boy who still looks immature has really been living up to his once ungenerous rhetoric.

I would like to add some trouble to the Japanese and ugly countries!

Just die for your country on the battlefield, why return your body wrapped in horse leather?

Hu Weishi wiped her tears, ignored the surprised looks of others, walked up to Zhang Yixin and patted his head.

"This time I'm proud of you!"
