Chapter 228 Nearly [-] Million Investment
seven days later.

Huaguo Yanjing.

He Xiao yawned and sat up from the bed. The sweet potato, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was lying on his lap with his stomach turned, a pair of small paws stretched out and out.

"I see that you are lazy, but you really know how to find a place."

He licked the chubby cat's head of the sweet potato, and He Xiao happily taught him a lesson.

Ever since he returned to China from Japan, he has not been idle, not even Le Jia. He went to Jinling immediately after landing to prepare for the last world tour music performance.

Because of the fact that He Xiao's popularity exploded due to the fact that he came to his own territory, the formal concert venue suddenly changed from an opera house to a stadium.

There was a crowd of people at the scene, still holding light sticks, He Xiao was about to sing "Flastic".

If it weren't for the people from Isabella's working group to stop him in time, this concert would definitely turn into a solo concert.

The concert took four days from preparation to completion. Don't think it was too fast, but it was actually the result of everyone working overtime.

And just after yesterday's concert, He Xiao didn't even drink a saliva, and flew back to Yanjing overnight.

It wasn't that he was diligent, but that he still had a new errand waiting for him the next day.

After the script of "White Snake: Origin" was handed over to Zhang Yongkang's studio, it received unanimous praise from the whole team.

Zhang Yongkang even exclaimed that He Xiao is clever, using ready-made IP to tell stories, so that the characters can be directly plumped up without laborious creation.

Because in the creation of comics, how to create a distinctive character image has always been the biggest problem.

The reason why Riman is so attractive is inseparable from the shaping of characters.

They cleverly extracted the attributes of the characters, and fixed them as a kind of "personal design", and copied them in batches.

Such as tsundere, three no, cute and so on.

Of course, to achieve the ultimate, these are far from enough.

For top-level comic works like "Breaking Dawn", the protagonist's personality should be fuller, and most of them are positive and sunny types. They have the innocence of a big child and the courage to be independent.

And it is precisely because we remember the protagonist that we can remember the name of the work.

In the script sent by He Xiao, the background of the love story "Legend of the White Snake" widely circulated among the Chinese people is used as the background, which is a clever technique.

Because the Legend of the White Snake itself is a big IP, it has been passed down by word of mouth for thousands of years, and everyone knows it, and it has its own popularity and traffic.

In addition, the live-action version of The Legend of the White Snake has been remade many times, leaving a deep impression on the audience.

What He Xiao did at this time was just to animate them, so it was a very flattering approach.

But just this is not enough to make everyone applaud unanimously.

What really surprised everyone was that He Xiao put new wine in an old bottle. Instead of continuing to tell the old story, he presented a completely different legend of the White Snake from a different angle.

It was this excellent script and excellent story that made Zhang Yongkang's team so confident that they decided to give it another go.

They lost before because the story was uninspired and the rhythm was loose. As for the picture quality, there is no need to worry about it.

"The Sword of the Emperor of Qin" has surpassed 90.00% of the national comics, and in the special short story of only 30 seconds, the special effects and graphics have reached the world's top level.

Now that the funds, technology, and stories are all in place, how can everyone not be excited?Already gearing up for a big fight.

Putting the sweet potatoes on the bed, He Xiao put on a piece of clothing and walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as she came out, she saw a woman sitting on a top chair in an awkward manner, with one leg hooked on the armrest of the chair, high-heeled gold-woven slippers dangling from the tip of her toes, ready to fall off with a "snap" at any time .

"Hey, what wind brought you here?"

He Xiao scratched his head and yawned, not looking directly at the woman.

The woman pursed her lips and smiled without any annoyance, and said coquettishly, "I didn't say anything when I came back, I thought there was a thief in the house."

"What's the matter? Are you always thinking of spring, or did the young master get your hair style today? Is it worth it for you to talk to a bustard like this? I can't bear it."

He Xiao turned a blind eye and took out half a carton of milk from the refrigerator and poured it into the cup, and he couldn't spare the time to squeeze it.

"Heh, what a tough guy."

Zhang Xuran's gold-woven slippers hanging on his toes finally fell off with a snap, then lit a cigarette, and said, "I have a discussion with you, give me the sweet potatoes."

"what?"

He Xiao's expression changed immediately: "You want to steal my cat?"

"Don't criticize me! You are not at home for eight out of ten days a year, and I take care of cats. Now you say that I robbed your cat?" Zhang Xuran rolled his eyes, took out a sack of cat food from behind, kicked In front of He Xiao.

Then he said stiffly: "I'll buy it, okay?"

He Xiao looked down at the cat food, speechless for a long time.

Or how can I say that this piece of Xu Ran belongs to the real society, buying cats with cat food.

Digua also came out of the room unsteadily at this time, and when he saw Zhang Xuran, he trotted over immediately, and then gave He Xiao a disgusted look.

Feeling that he was despised by the cat, He Xiao's head turned black, and he took the milk and went back to the room to get dressed, "Let's talk about it later, I have something to do today, by the way...do you want to move the car key for me?" Is it? Why can’t I find it?”

Zhang Xuran: "...Silly criticism!"

……

The morning in Yanjing was still as crowded as usual.

He Xiao drove without moving for a long time, put a layer of gray Mercedes in the underground parking lot, and drove slowly on the road.

Zhang Yongkang's studio is in Yanjing. Of course, it is not a high-end office building, but an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city that was rented and remodeled.

It looks dilapidated on the outside, but there is something hidden inside, and the overall style is very casual, with a billiards area, a fitness area, and a bar area.

He Xiao was stunned when he arrived according to the address, good guy, this is not a place for office, it is perfectly fine for hosting parties.

"It's ok, you have a very comfortable little life."

After visiting inside and out, He Xiao couldn't help but gave a thumbs up and praised.

Zhang Yongkang, who was by the side, laughed and said: "Mr. He, you are laughing. In fact, when I was building it, I thought that our generation was too tired, stressed and facing the computer every day. It was not good, so I made a few more. A leisure area, so that everyone can relax if they have nothing to do, but you can rest assured that it will never affect your work."

Because He Xiao bought the entire studio, the studio also officially changed hands. Zhang Yongkang changed from the boss to the younger brother, so the name of He Xiao also changed.

After a pause, he got down to business: "Mr. He, I have to remind you that if you want to achieve the picture quality required in the script of "The Origin of the White Snake", you will probably have to spend a lot of money on it. I don't know our budget..."

Zhang Yongkang has been obsessed with "The Origin of the White Snake" since he read the script, and as a veteran in the field of animation, he knows how much money he needs to invest to achieve He Xiao's image quality. It can be said that every frame of the picture is in the Throwing money.

He didn't know if He Xiao would agree to such a high capital investment, so he asked very cautiously.

He Xiao turned his head to look at him, then stretched out his fingers and made an "eight" gesture.

"800?"

Zhang Yongkang tentatively said something, and then his expression was a little frowning.

800 million is a lot, but it seems shabby to put it into the production of an animated film. It is estimated that there is not enough money for the actual scene inspection.

He Xiao glanced at him sideways, then turned around and walked towards a computer in the office area. At the same time, the loud and clear words came without hesitation, which shocked everyone.

"I mean... the budget is 8000 million, if it's not enough, add more!"
