From prince to god

Chapter 397 Negotiations
In the palace, in the dining room.

Hearing that Ling Zhou entered the theme, Xue Ya, Shao Anmin, Desi, Fang Yue and others also put down the tableware in their hands and listened carefully.

"The story background of this animated film is a metropolis that combines Eastern and Western cultures. Well! This background can be placed in Lan Ling. In the setting, in this metropolis, there is a young child prodigy who is proficient in robotics , found that this city full of high-tech is facing a crime crisis. In order to expose the conspiracy and save the homeland, he will bring his partner robot Dabai and a group of rookie teams that are hard-working to form a rookie alliance to work together Fight against evil."

Ling Zhou narrated softly based on his memory.

He made some modifications to this setting.

According to the original book, the story background of "Big Hero [-]" should be a combination of "San Francisco, USA" and "Tokyo, Japan", a metropolis named "Old Beijing Mountain".

It's just that this movie has nothing to do with the United States and Japan in this world.

There is no Disney in this world, and there is no Don Hall, Chris Williams.Not to mention the original book, a sci-fi comic from Japan, so this movie is naturally attributed to Lanling's domestic production.

Listening to Ling Zhou's narration, Desi and Fang Yue fell into deep thought.

One of them is a screenwriter and the other is an animation director, and they were soon immersed in the story scene described by Ling Zhou.

As for Xue Ya and Shao Anmin, they sat dry.They understand company operations and market trends.But if it is a technical problem, they will stop cooking.

Ling Zhou picked up the cup and took a sip of milk, not in a hurry, silently waiting for the two to recover.

In fact, the movie "Big Hero [-]" was not a particularly popular movie in his world.

In terms of box office, that is to say, the performance is not bad.

If I remember correctly, this movie was released in November 2014 on the previous life earth.

He couldn't remember the exact number.But he remembered that on the first day of release of this animated film, the total revenue in 3761 theaters was 1583 million US dollars, and it won the single-day runner-up.

The three-day box office reached 5620 million US dollars, and 29% of the film's weekend box office came from 3D screens.Earned $2300 million in a few overseas markets including Russia.

He vaguely remembered that the global box office of the animated film "Super Hero 6" should be [-] million US dollars.

Huh!No, it's $7 million, right?

He can't remember the exact amount, but it should not be less than 6 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to 40 billion U.S. dollars in Lanling coins.

This box office is not low.

But compared to those classic movies that are really popular, it is still a little far behind.

"About the main character, it is set to be a 14-year-old mechanical prodigy. I named him 'Xiao Hiroshi'. He has a genius mind. He developed an advanced combat robot that dominated the underground fighting game in San Francisco. He There is an older brother named Teddy who encouraged him to challenge himself and helped him to get into Lanling University's Institute of Technology. However, at a science and technology exhibition held by the institute, a tragedy changed everything. After that, Xiaohong and A robot named "Dabai" became a good partner, and gradually grew into a core member of the six high-tech heroes to complete a difficult task. This is the general plot of the whole story, and the specific plot content needs to be You professionals are here to supplement."

Ling Zhou said.

Following his voice, Des quickly took out a pen and paper to record.

"Your Highness, this story is very interesting."

Des said with a smile.

"Yu Yin, show Fang Yue the image of 'Dabai'. That image is also used in the movie."

Ling Zhou said to Yu Yin who was beside him.

Yu Yin nodded and said, "It's in my room, I'll get it."

With that said, she got up and left the restaurant.

Watching Yu Yin leave, Ling Zhou looked at Desi and continued: "About the setting of the robot 'Dabai', it is a 'personal health assistant' robot..."

He briefly introduced the function of Dabai.

I remember in my previous life, the oversized 'inflatable robot' in the movie was actually a medical companion.

It is so powerful that it can detect the human vital index with just one simple scan.And according to the pain level of the patient, almost all diseases are treated.

In the film, Dabai, who is caring and innocent, is a hero and best friend to Hiro.

After a series of exquisite transformations such as 'rocket gloves, super strength', Dabai has become a super general in the 'Super Marines'.

Listening to Ling Zhou's narration, Des's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Your Highness, a very interesting setting."

Des smiled.

Ling Zhou smiled, "This animated movie is called "Big Hero [-]", which just happens to fit the idea of ​​the movie."

Des nodded and wrote it down.

At this time, Yu Yin came over.

She handed over the drawings.

Ling Zhou took it, glanced at it, and laughed.This is not the one he painted. The image of 'Dabai' in this picture is more refined and plump.

He knew that it was drawn by Yu Yin himself.

"have a look."

Ling Zhou said to the two of Des.

Des quickly got up and took the drawing. When he saw the image of that cute big fat man on the drawing paper, he was a little dazed. It was completely different from what he had imagined!

Is this the 'medical companion robot' described by His Highness?
Des was bewildered, but Fang Yue glanced at him and said, "Your Highness wants to set the robot 'Dabai' into that kind of cute image?"

"good."

Ling Zhou nodded, and said: "The robots in this movie don't need to be cold and unkind. Instead, they need to be cute, considerate, and able to please the audience. This point, when you design , pay more attention."

I remember that in the previous life, Dabai, the inflatable medical robot in the movie, carried out the cute image to the end, and finally became one of the cutest images in the hearts of movie fans all over the world.

In this world, he will not change this.

What he wants to change is just some background.

"Your Highness, I have written all these down, and I will write the script as soon as possible."

Des didn't bother too much, since His Highness asked to write it like this, let's write it like this.And he has never tried such a writing method, and he just wants to try it.

Perhaps this is a breakthrough?

Ling Zhou nodded and said, "Fang Yue, you need to communicate more. My request is not only to write out the script, but also to perfectly show the images, personalities, and temperaments of all the characters in the script in the animation. This It’s not a live-action performance, just hire some actors with good acting skills.”

"clear."

Fang Yue nodded solemnly.

"As long as you know."

Ling Zhou nodded, and said again: "Nowadays, the global animation film market is in a slump, and the box office generally does not exceed 2 million US dollars. Perhaps this film will give the market a shot in the arm. You have to be careful."

Ling Zhou looked at the two and said.

"clear."

Fang Yue and Desi nodded solemnly.

"and also……"

Ling Zhou looked at Xue Ya and Shao Anmin, and said, "The main purpose of making this animation is to promote a technological product, so you have to put your heart into it. Don't worry about the cost, I only want the quality, if the funds are insufficient , just mention it to me. I will ask Yuanzhou Group to provide you with financial assistance."

Now Jiahang Group has many projects to carry out.

For example, "Jiahang Theme Park", the mobile game "Glory of the King", the next video, the operation of "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck", and "Mickey Mouse"-themed movies, etc.

These all require funds.

There is also a lot of money to burn in the production of "Big Hero [-]".

As far as he knows, Disney invested in this movie in the previous life, which seemed to reach 1.65 million US dollars.

1.65 million US dollars, this is not a small amount for the current Jiahang.

"Yes."

Xue Ya and Shao Anmin nodded, and they were not polite about it.

The capital flow of Jiahang Group is indeed not very good.

It's just that, with the huge Yuanzhou Group and the prince as their backing, they never worried about this.Therefore, in every business, we spend a lot of money and never spare the cost.

"Your Highness, can I ask, which technological product is the main promotion? I wish to describe it in the script."

Des said.

Ling Zhou smiled, stood up, and said, "Of course it's our 'Dabai'."

After speaking, he glanced at Yu Yin and walked outside.

Yu Yin also got up quickly and followed out.

But in the restaurant, Desi, Fang Yue, Xue Ya and others were once again stunned.They looked at the drawing paper, that big fat guy, the technological product His Highness wants to promote, is this big guy?

Is Your Highness going to be a 'doll'?

"Could it be that Your Highness is going to be a robot?"

Shao Anmin tried to ask.

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened.

"Okay, these are not our concerns. Our task now is to make this animation film well, to make it the most perfect, and to get a good box office is the key point."

Xue Ya waved her hands.

Fang Yue and Shao Anmin nodded.

Xue Ya looked at Des again, stretched out her hand, and said, "Mr. Des, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Des reached out to shake her hand and said, "It's natural."

……

After walking out of the restaurant, Ling Zhou stretched himself.

Regarding the production cycle of "Big Hero 1", Ling Zhou estimates that it will take about 2-[-] years. If this is the case, the time is a bit long!

Ling Zhou thought for a while, then turned to look at Xue Ya and the others who walked out of the restaurant, and said, "The production of "Super Marines" must not only be of good quality, but also of high speed. It can be shown."

What he said stunned Xue Ya, Fang Yue and the others.

"Your Highness, there are too many details in the animation production, and the estimated cycle will take a year at the earliest!"

Fang Yue said with some embarrassment.

Ling Zhou waved his hand and said, "I know, with Jiahang Group's current technical background, it does take a long time, and one year is considered fast."

Fang Yue nodded, indeed.

"So, this project can adopt a multi-party cooperation model."

Ling Zhou continued: "Some acquisitions can be made. There are many well-known animation companies in the United States. Their technologies are all top-notch. The Jiahang Group can acquire or cooperate with them."

Hearing this, Xue Ya somewhat understood why His Highness wanted her and Shao Anmin to come here.

"As for acquisitions or cooperation partners, you should make a list as soon as possible and come up with a negotiation plan. I will officially enter the negotiation stage in a week. After Des's script is completed, I want you to complete the preliminary preparations Work, officially entered the animation production stage."

Ling Zhou said in a low voice.

As he said that, he looked at Des and said, "I know the workload is a bit heavy, but you can also seek cooperation! There are too many people, and the collision of ideas can give you sparks of inspiration and faster Complete the task. If you have any difficulties, you can contact Butler Chen, and I will give you some help."

Listening to Ling Zhou's instructions, Desi, Fang Yue and the others looked at each other with helplessness flashing in their eyes.

Your Highness is indeed the same as the rumors say, he pursues speed and perfection in everything. .

For example, in the original "Sailing Hotel", the estimated construction period was 3 years, but it was shortened to one year abruptly.

But fortunately, under the stimulation of a large amount of US dollars, in a little over a year, the sailing hotel went from nothing to shocking the world, and officially entered the stage of operation.

The production cycle of "Big Hero 2" was expected to be [-] years, but it was abruptly shortened to half a year. It's really...

But they didn't refute anything.

"Your Highness, we will do our best."

Desi and Fang Yue said solemnly.

"Well! Do your best in everything."

Ling Zhou nodded. He was determined to let Fang Yue and the others finish the production of "Big Hero [-]" within half a year, and they would be punished if they failed.

He just wanted to give them a little tension.

Even if it is delayed by a few months, it can be forgiven.

"Your Highness, if this is the case, then our investment will be even greater."

Xue Ya said helplessly.

Whether it is an acquisition or a cooperation between the parties, it needs to be exchanged for US dollars.However, Jiahang Group is currently in the development stage, with few profit points.

"It's okay, the financial backing of this project is Yuanzhou Group."

Ling Zhou waved his hand.

No matter what project he does, he has never cared about funding issues.

There are 200 billion US dollars in his account. Does he need to worry about funds?

He originally only had about 100 billion US dollars, but last time he shorted the oil market and made a fortune, his personal funds also doubled.

Note that it is personal funds, not assets.

For example, the assets of companies under Lingzhou's name, such as "Jiahang Group, Palm Fun, Dolphin Live, Truffle House, and Sailing Hotel" are not included in the calculation.

Forget it now, it's all cash.

However, he has a lot of money, but also spends a lot.

For example, more than 10 billion U.S. dollars is invested in the "Yuanzhou Charity Foundation" every year.

Hearing Ling Zhou's promise, Xue Ya's face brightened, and she was completely relieved.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xue Ya responded.

With the financial backing of the Yuanzhou Group, she doesn't have to worry about anything, she can let go and do this project.If the box office of "Big Hero [-]" is okay by then, it may better enhance the influence of Jiahang Group.
