In Tian Xiaopeng's silence, Xu Xin felt a little bit of regret in his heart as he looked at his... drawing that had at most one of his powers of success, but only had its form but no spirit.

Pity.

We are talking about things now.

Otherwise...give yourself an afternoon...no, two hours, and your painting should be more perfect.

The most important thing is that he is confident that he can bring out that charm.

But it was a pity, so I couldn’t help but say:

"I think this is the great sage. Fighting against heaven and earth, unruly. To use the plot of this story, his early decadence was not that he was unable to break through the shackles, but that he was tired and tired and didn't want to move. He was just tired.

But it's not dead. And I think the place where your pattern is small is actually here.

If you want to read flashy things, there are a lot of them in online novels. There are things like a sword shining coldly across sixteen states, a flying sword flying ninety thousand miles into the sky... These things are flashy, elegant, and beautiful. They are indeed true...

However, the Great Sage should not be this fancy. I think, rather than being flashy, the Great Sage should be synonymous with defeating all laws with one force. You see, didn't you say it in your story, the Great Sage defeated the Chaos Demon King with one blow?

It was completely destroyed.

He only used one stick. Although if you look at the length of the movie, this kind of climax scene comes and goes too quickly. But I think sometimes it is really just that sudden glimpse in the vast sea of ​​people, leaving behind

The most sincere emotion is the lingering thoughts in your heart.

The Monkey King holds a golden cudgel.

This stick can move mountains, cross seas, urge cities, open the sky... You can do whatever you want, but I can break it with one stick... There is a pretty fun game called League of Legends recently. I wonder if Director Tian has played it. Then.

There is a heroic line in it that I particularly like, it is called: Look at my divine power, I am invincible!

I think the Great Sage should be like this, instead of flashing sword energy in a flashy way.

The layout is too small.

In my mind, this scene..."

Pointing to his final drawing, and pointing his finger on the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, he said:

"When this blow came down, the golden cudgel was still wrapped with clouds that had not dissipated. The shocking impact of the image was more impactful than a few sword energy cutting off the demon king's limbs, right?"

"..."

Tian Xiaopeng was speechless.

Not even looking at Xu Xin.

I just stared at the drawings on the table in a daze.

do not know what to say.

Even now he couldn't remember the purpose of his visit.

Seeing him in a daze, Xu Xin didn't bother him.

I just lit a cigarette and continued to scroll back.

After reading the script, all that's left is the project plan and so on.

To put it bluntly, the art part is over, and all that's left is investment. And seeing this investment amount...Xu Xin actually thinks it's not bad.

1500 dollars.

Does not include later stages.

It’s just the original painting, dubbing, manpower, etc.

The money seemed a bit much at first glance...but Xu Xin noticed a key point.

That is, there is no "motion capture" fee in this quotation.

That is to say...

Do you plan to complete all the images purely by drawing?

Good guy, that's a lot of work.

However, Xu Xin naturally understood that the real reason why the other party's quotation was so low was not because there was no motion capture. In fact, the cost of motion capture, from hiring actors to setting up scenes, could only cost several million.

The most expensive part of this animation also does not appear in the quotation, but appears in the description below.

That's post-production.

For post-production, Tian Xiaopeng hopes to use the power of Chasing Light Studio.

Brackets: free.

Since you are all investors, wouldn’t it be logical to use your own machines for post-production of animations?

But considering his decision not to use motion capture but to draw purely...Xu Xin estimated that even with Chasing Light's current scale and full power, this animation would take at least a year to complete.

It’s not a technical issue, but it’s just that a purely drawn animation model requires too many details.

Light and shadow, falling rocks, rendering, and even the most troublesome "hair" special effects all occupy a lot of resources. And this amount of work cannot be completed at one time. It will definitely require modifications and corrections from both sides before finally being able to make it.

Everyone is satisfied with the results.

One year is probably less than that.

At least a year and a half.

And if you add in the time cost of this year and a half... you do the math. If the pursuit of light is full force, Wang Sicong will settle an account with Xu Xin and the people in the team during the acquisition.

The manpower, venue rental and other costs for the entire year-round operation of Chasing Light are about 15 to 18 million.

Based on one and a half years, the budget of this movie has once again increased to 30 million.

Including the film production itself and other expenses, the final cost of this animation will not be less than 50 million.

Not counting publicity.

You see, this is also the main reason why the animated film market is so sluggish in China.

No one is willing to bet that a child-oriented animated film for young children can earn at least 120 million at the box office among children.

The risks and benefits are not proportional, so naturally no one is willing to do it.

But...

Being a company boss has this advantage.

this story……

Xu Xin likes it very much.

So, he put out the cigarette and said to Tian Xiaopeng, who was still in a daze:

"Director Tian, ​​this story is quite good. Let's talk about investment. How much money have you invested now?"

"..."

Tian Xiaopeng raised his head subconsciously.

There was a trance in his eyes.

But I woke up immediately.

Yeah.

Don't worry about the inspiration in your heart for now, let's get down to business.

…

Tian Xiaopeng actually felt quite clear about it.

Although nearly 4 million has been spent on this project so far, compared with the investment after the project started, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, in his plan, as long as Xu Xin agrees to invest and use the technology of Chasing Light Studio for post-production, Xu Xin can directly take 90% of the entire movie's equity.

As a director, he did not sign a gambling agreement with Xu Xin, nor did he want any box office dividends.

When the movie is released, all you need to do is distribute the profits according to shares.

In one sentence: If we make a profit, we all make it together; if we lose something... we all pay it together.

This courage is indeed good.

Xu Xin is not a hypocritical person either.

He has never had any idea about money and he is very happy to find a big job for the newly established Chasing Light.

As a result, the two sides hit it off immediately.

I invested a lot of fish with this money.

Tian Xiaopeng called Wang Sicong in front of him and told him that he had invested in an animation project. After briefly explaining the situation to Lao Wang, Wang Sicong didn't ask anything else at all.

He didn't know much about movies either, so he just followed Lao Xu's lead.

After the matter was finalized, Xu Xin put down the phone and said to Tian Xiaopeng with a smile:

"Then... let's just say this? Director Tian, ​​are you happy to cooperate?"

Tian Xiaopeng nodded quickly and held his hands with the other party.
To be continued...
