Chapter 754: Our Earthling Studio lacks everything except money!
Yang Hongxia didn't expect that she would just say something casually and it would lead to such a big plan from Lin Fan!
You know, animated films are very expensive!
If an animated film wants to be effective, besides having a good plot, the most important thing is the special effects.
Really, every frame is burning money! Yang Hongxia has reason to suspect: "Are you so busy with money that you want to create a money-burning project so that you have somewhere to spend the money?"
Lin Fan: "...You are right..."
Lin Fan did make too much money, but since he was always busy with work and had no place to spend it, didn't he set his sights on making an animated film?
However, it is true that animated films burn money, and it is also true that they make money.
"Journey to the West" has been released, so there is no reason for Lin Fan to miss such a profitable project as an animated film. More importantly, Blue Star China is different from Earth. The production cycle of "Nezha" on Earth is nearly 3 years. It is not because of anything else, but because of insufficient technology and talents. The whole film has more than 1,400 special effects shots, but more than 100 companies and 1,600 people participated in the production of the project.
The film's producers all felt that this was not something to be proud of, but rather something to be ashamed of, because it was the result of the imperfections of the animation film industry, which led to the use of the human-wave tactic to complete the production.
But Blue Star China is different. Blue Star China's animation film industry chain is complete, and it has the strength to compete with overseas animation film production companies. But the original script is not strong enough, or the imagination is not big enough, so it cannot compete with others.
Now that Lin Fan has filled in the creative ideas for the script, what else is there to worry about? As for the long production cycle and time-consuming nature of animated films, Lin Fan doesn't care anymore. It's good to waste time, because this way he always has work to do, and Yang Hongxia can no longer blatantly exploit him!
Lin Fan had a beautiful thought: "Sister Xia, to tell you the truth, after this comic is released, it will be enough for us to be busy for several years just to adapt it into a TV series, not to mention the secondary adaptation and creation. I can give you two movie scripts directly, and I can give you three TV scripts. After shooting five scripts, can't we finish an animated film?"
Yang Hongxia was hit by Lin Fan's pie and saw stars in her eyes. She finally kept her mind: "Wait, wait, let me slow down... Do you mean we should do it ourselves?"
Lin Fan said happily: "Yes, let's set up an animation studio ourselves! Make it ourselves, produce it ourselves, and...well, we still have to find a professional distribution company to distribute it."
Yang Hongxia really wanted to reach out and touch Lin Fan's head to see if he had a fever and was talking nonsense, but looking at Lin Fan's clear eyes, Yang Hongxia knew that Lin Fan was serious.
I am serious about setting up an animation studio, I am serious about making my own animated film, and I am seriously planning this big project.
The professional qualities of the gold medal broker made Yang Hongxia calm down quickly and start to consider the pros and cons, prospects and risks of this matter.
While choosing his words, he said, "The market for animated films does have great potential, but Lin Fan, if we were to set up a brand new animation studio ourselves, it would take several years for all the initial investment to pay off."
Moreover, this is based on the premise that the animated film produced by Lin Fan's script is a big hit at the box office. Once the animated film is not well received and the box office is disappointing, the return on investment will be even more distant.
It is even possible that all the money invested will be lost.
Besides, an animation studio can't just rely on one movie. If it doesn't open for three years, it can't make a living for three years after it opens. In addition to its own projects, the studio also has to take on external work, such as making some animations and movie special effects, in order to ensure the long-term benefits of the studio.
Otherwise, if Lin Fan suddenly ran out of inspiration and couldn't write a script, wouldn't the studio be left with nothing to do?
In response to Yang Hongxia's concerns, Lin Fan directly handed her a stack of drawings, which were the story outlines of the animated film that Lin Fan had moved out from his memory during the period when he was finalizing the characters for "Journey to the West".
Yang Hongxia took it and looked through it one by one: "Frozen, Minions, Despicable Me, Zootopia... These are all animated movie scripts?"
That's a lot! If we take the production cycle of animated films into account, it would take years to make all these scripts into movies.
Yang Hongxia looked at Lin Fan in shock, her hands shaking as she held the story summary: This is all money! Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction: "With so many scripts, the studio won't have to worry about having nothing to do in the next five years, right?"
Five years?
Looking at the thick stack of introductions in her hand, Yang Hongxia felt that even seven years, let alone five years, would not be enough! She was still busy 365 days a year, without a break!
With a "pop", Yang Hongxia slapped the introduction into her arms, and said with high morale: "Lin Fan, don't worry, leave all the matters of setting up the studio to me, I will definitely do it properly for you! Just finish your comics and scripts, you don't have to worry about anything else!
We at Earthling Studio lack everything except money! Oh, by the way, I'll take these script synopsis back and lock them in the safe. Let me know when you need them.
As for your scrapped manuscripts, you must check them before throwing them away. Otherwise, if you accidentally throw away a script, it will be a huge loss!"
Seeing Yang Hongxia turn into a chatterbox, Lin Fan felt a headache: "Well, Sister Xia, you should go and take care of the studio first. I'm here, yes, I still have to continue painting, um, I won't say any more to you."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Hurry up and go, stop nagging! Yang Hongxia couldn't sit still any longer: "Okay, then I won't bother you. But remember to tell me when the comic is finalized, so I can discuss the promotion with Penguin. And there's Zhou Xiang's movie next month, don't forget to go and support her then... and..."
With a "bang", Lin Fan closed the door, and the world became quiet.
Sure enough, when Sister Xia gets excited, she is really scary. Just her mumbling can drive people crazy.
Lin Fan shook his head, slumped back on the sofa, and picked up his painting tools: What should I draw next? Well, let's finish the personal draft of Erlang Shen Yang Jian first.
Meanwhile, Yang Hongxia hurried back to her office, locked the briefings in the safe, and called out to her colleagues: "Come on, come on, everyone, come to the meeting!"
As soon as the studio colleagues heard the word "meeting", they all wailed: "Sister Xia, please don't do that!"
Give us a way to live!
Just asking, do you have any tickets? If not, I'll ask again later~~~ (End of this chapter)
