Chapter 691 separates business from art, 33
In the company, Yue Yi didn't talk too much with those investors, just a simple sentence.

"We can try our best to meet your requirements, but if you want to meet your requirements, you need to increase your investment."

"According to the investment amount given by you now, we cannot produce animations according to your requirements."

Hearing Yue Yi's words, it really surprised all the representatives of the investors.

Originally, they came here because they heard a little bit of wind, and they knew that Yue Yi planned to fight hard with them to the end.

The result was that Yue Yi was not stubborn, but asked for money directly.

This, this is completely inconsistent with the character setting of Yue Yi, why did the style suddenly become like this?
After being stunned for a while, a representative of an investor finally came to his senses and asked seriously.

"So, Mr. Yue, how much do you think we should invest in you?"

Yue Yi smiled and knocked on the table twice, then said: "Actually, according to my original plan, the entire animation is only an investment of 2000 to [-] million."

"However, you have some ideas of yours, and hope that we can follow your ideas."

"In this way, we have to increase the budget. I think each of you will increase by about 1000 million."

The representatives of the investors present were all dumbfounded. Did each company increase their investment budget by 1000 million?

They looked at each other, there were a total of eight investors present, each with 1000 million, 8000 million.

Isn't this crazy?Even if it's the movies of those well-known big directors, I'm afraid the budget won't be so high, right?

What's more, those movies need to pay actors' fees, even if the budget is higher, it is worth the money.

The problem is, now that Yue Yi's big animation movie has a budget of 8000 million, it is really unexpected.

Finally, a representative of an investor couldn't help but said, "Mr. Yue, isn't your budget a little too high?"

Yue Yi responded unusually calmly: "Is it high? I don't think it's high at all, and it's calculated according to your requirements."

"First of all, I need to come forward to act as the director, and then I need to re-select the theme of all the original paintings and stories."

"After that, in terms of production, it needs to reach the level of my previous animation, so this is another big expense."

"Finally, I know that you all hope that the dubbing will also be done by some big names, so naturally you will need to spend money to hire them."

"After all this is calculated, I think the budget of 8000 million is definitely not high. Of course, if it is not enough, I will make up the difference for you."

The representatives of the investors who were present almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when they heard the last sentence.

Make up the difference?Do you think 8000 million is not enough?So if you can't use it, should you return the money?

Without giving this group of investor representatives a chance to speak again, Yue Yi issued an order to expel the guests very directly.

"I know that for such a large investment, you will ask for instructions, so I won't keep you."

"Of course, I should announce our brand new animation plan in a week's time. You can think about it then."

After saying that, Yue Yi didn't linger much, he directly said goodbye to the group of people present, got up and left the meeting room.

This attitude towards Yue Yi really made a group of investor representatives feel even more confused.

I have never seen someone who asks others for money and still drags them like this, it is really very annoying.

However, even if they are very upset, it is not good for the representatives of these investors to show it at this time.

After all, Yue Yi has a great reputation now. The most important thing is that everyone watched the street concert yesterday.

These investment companies have done some calculations in private, and the income from the live broadcast that day alone is probably over one million.

Coupled with some subsequent copyright benefits, even if it is necessary to distribute money to those performers.

As the copyright owner of most of the songs, Yue Yi must have the highest direct income.

But what Yue Yi really gained was the improvement of his status and global popularity.

In this way, if he wants to participate in the animation he personally produced, the investment will inevitably increase.

Even if a few companies are unwilling to participate or give so much money, Yue Yi can still find others.

I believe that as long as he casts an olive branch, there will be many people who can't wait to participate in it.

Yue Yi returned to his office, turned on the computer, and looked at the plans for the current big animation movie.

After thinking for a while, I clicked on another project that I had hidden earlier and never showed to everyone.

I took out both plans and compared them in various aspects on the computer desktop, but I haven't made a final decision for a long time.

Soon, the four high-level executives of the animation branch who had sent away the representatives of the investors walked in.

Lu Shimiao spoke very directly and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking? It costs 1000 million to open your mouth."

Yue Yi turned his computer screen over, clicked on the prepared plan and said, "It's very simple, just let them pay for it, and we will make two big animation movies at the same time."

The four of them were surprised at first, and then carefully read another project proposal released by Yue Yi.

After a long time, Fang Dazhuang pondered: "This is indeed an animation that is more in line with the global market, but will there be conflicts between the two?"

This is actually the concern of other people, after all, the production of animation itself is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Especially the exquisite animation big movies, it requires the cooperation of many people, and the original painting alone is very hard.

And if you want to produce two films at the same time, it may be difficult to do it with the current manpower of the animation branch.

But Yue Yi said very seriously: "Actually, we can do it. We just need to hand over the previous big animation movie to the Academy of Chinese Painting."

After hearing this, Zhang Rui immediately answered and asked, "You mean, you want to use the investor's money to make the current movie?"

Yue Yi nodded: "That's right, that's it, let those investors pay for this new animation movie that is more in line with the global market, so that we can free up funds for the Academy of Chinese Painting to slowly produce other animation films." one part."

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for everyone to speak, he continued: "We need to temporarily separate business and art."

These words surprised the people present, but they could understand Yue Yi's thoughts.

In fact, in order to meet the needs of the global market, use other people's money to make more commercial animations.

At the same time, use your own funds to produce some sophisticated and more artistic animations.

The two are not contradictory, and indeed they are more in line with the future development direction of the animation branch.
