Su Bai could feel Baozi's nervousness. Although his palms had just been wiped, they were still sweating.
"Hello, Mr. Su, hello, I'm Baozi, and I'm very... very grateful that you're willing to meet me!"
Su Bai pulled out some tissues from the table with amusement, "Wipe your sweat, Director, and sit down and talk slowly."
Su Bai's amiable attitude made Baozi feel a lot more relaxed, so he wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat obediently on the sofa next to him. He didn't look like someone who came to solicit investment at all, but rather like a primary school student waiting to be scolded by his teacher.
His butt was only halfway seated, but combined with his chubby figure, it looked particularly funny.
Sister Danchun quietly pursed her lips behind Baozi where he couldn't see, trying hard not to laugh.
Su Bai was a little helpless as he walked forward and pushed Baozi into the sofa. He did not return to his boss chair, but sat next to Baozi and asked directly:
"I'm a little interested in your book. Can you tell me more about your ideas?"
"Yes! Absolutely!"
When Baozi heard Su Bai express his interest, he immediately stood up and began to talk about his plans for the film and its current progress in a trembling voice, as if he was reporting to his boss. He even said honestly that many companies had rejected his investment request.
"Su... Mr. Su, I've been polishing this movie script for two years and producing it for a year. I've invested all my savings, but it's just a drop in the bucket. I can show you a few clips we've already produced!"
Su Bai's expression was still as bright as spring breeze, and he nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's take a look."
Baozi's fat hands were trembling slightly as he operated the system. After opening a video, his eyes were filled with nervousness as he kept looking at Su Bai's expression.
The expression on Su Bai's face remained calm, without any major changes, and he even frowned slightly.
Every time Su Bai frowned, Baozi's heart would sink.
He was too familiar with this expression.
The heads of the larger film and television companies I visited before all had the same expression, and then they would say to him with a formulaic smile:
"Sorry, Director Baozi, I think your Nezha look is a bit ugly."
"Sorry, Director Baozi, isn't the investment in this movie a bit high?"
"Sorry, Director Baozi, we may temporarily assess that the risk of your film is a bit high..."
"Feel sorry......"
The Su Bai in front of him is one of Baozi's few hopes. He is also the one with the highest position and the strongest company among the entertainment companies that have met him.
He has the highest expectations for Su Bai!
It's not just because Su Bai is rich, but also because Su Bai himself is the youngest and most powerful director in the Chinese director circle. He may be able to understand his own ideas. He wants to make a work that can truly reflect the level of Chinese animation!
Ever since the epic "The Monkey King" appeared in China a few years ago, a large number of animated films have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. At that time, the entire animation film circle thought that the industry was about to rise.
But it turns out that "The Monkey King" is "The Monkey King" and other animated films are other things.
Apart from the Boonie Bears series which performed well thanks to the support of children, other animated films have basically been a complete failure.
Baozi himself is a fat otaku who loves anime and cartoons very much.
He hopes to make an animated film that suits the tastes of Chinese babies.
With this idea in mind, he began writing the script for Nezha.
Baozi is not a professional producer. He doesn't know how to attract investment or how to use fancy data or rhetoric to make investors happily put money into his pockets.
He's just a guy who really loves animation.
Sweat broke out on his chubby face again, but he didn't care. He just tried to use all the words he could to describe the movie, throwing them all out in an attempt to impress Su Bai, this handsome guy who was not very old but had a lot of money.
But he did not see the fluctuation in Su Bai's expression. Not only did Su Bai not show any happiness, but his brows became more and more furrowed.
"The above is all my thoughts. Mr. Su, do you think...is it okay?"
Baozi looked at Su Bai's expression and felt a little depressed.
He felt that his description could not impress Su Bai at all. He didn't know why Su Bai's brows were getting deeper and deeper.
Unlike Baozi, Yang Danchun had some idea of what Su Bai was going to do when he saw Su Bai's expression.
She is one of the people who knows Su Bai best.
"Your investment amount... is 60 million?"
Su Bai spoke slowly.
Baozi's heart sank again. Here it comes!
There's really no escaping this routine!
He seemed to have foreseen what Su Bai would say next.
Baozi's eyes were a little dim, but he still tried to save the situation and said, "Actually... if it's 50 million, it might be okay, but the special effects of some shots might be a little worse..."
He still chose to compromise.
In his eyes, this movie is like his child, and he has always been obsessed with making every detail the best!
But that costs money!
A lot of money!
Capital is even willing to pay 100 million or 200 million for a popular traffic star, but few capitals are willing to pay 60 million for an animated film that has condensed the efforts of countless people.
But Su Bai can be said to be Baozi's last hope. Isn't it better for the child to be imperfect than to have a difficult birth?
