Chapter 227 Nearly 100 Million Investment
Seven days later.
Yanjing, China.
He Xiao sat up from the bed while yawning. The sweet potato that he hadn't seen for a long time was lying on his thighs and his belly, and his small claws stretched out again and again.
"You're too lazy to find a place."
After picking up the chubby cat head with sweet potatoes, He Xiaolei said with a happy lesson.
Since Japan returned to China, he has not been idle, and he has not even returned to Le Jia. After landing, he went to Jinling to prepare for his last world tour music performance.
Because of his own territory, He Xiao's popularity completely exploded, and the serious concert venue changed from an opera house to a stadium.
The scene was filled with people, holding a glow stick, and He Xiao almost sang a song "Exaggeration".
If the people from Isabella's working group had not stopped him in time, the concert would have been guaranteed to be a solo concert.
The concert took four days from preparation to end. Don’t think it’s fast, it’s actually the result of everyone working overtime.
Just after the concert yesterday, He Xiao didn't even drink a single saliva and flew back to Yanjing overnight.
It’s not that he is so diligent, but that there are new errands 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 entire team.
Zhang Yongkang even shouted that He Xiao was smart and used his ready-made IP to tell stories, so that the characters could become fuller without having to work hard to create.
Because in the creation of comics, how to create a distinct character has always been the biggest problem.
The reason why Japanese comics are so attractive is closely related to the character creation.
They extract the character attributes by tricks and fix them into a "personal design" and copy them in batches.
For example, arrogant, stingy, cute, etc.
Of course, these are far from enough to achieve the ultimate.
For top comic works like "Break Through the Dawn", the protagonist's personality is more full, mostly positive and sunny, with both the innocence of older children and the courage to stand alone.
And it is precisely because we remember the protagonist that we can remember the name of the work.
The script sent by He Xiao uses the love story "The Legend of the White Snake" that is widely circulated among the Chinese people, which is a clever technique.
Because the Legend of 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 version of Legend of White Snake has been remade many times, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
What He Xiao did at this time was just to make them anime, so it was a very pleasing way.
But just this is not enough to make everyone applaud.
What really surprised everyone was He Xiao’s new wine in an old bottle did not continue to tell the old story, but presented a completely different legend of the white snake from a different perspective.
It was this excellent script and excellent story that made Zhang Yongkang's team's confidence greatly increase and he decided to give it a try again.
They lost before because the story was not new and the rhythm was scattered, and there was no need to worry about the quality of the picture.
"Qinhuang Sword" has surpassed 90% of the Chinese comics, and in the special short story with only 30 seconds, the special effects and pictures have reached the world's top level.
Now that the funds, technology and stories are in place, how can everyone not be excited? They are already ready to do a big fight.
Putting the sweet potato on the bed, He Xiao put on a piece of clothing and walked out of the bedroom.
As soon as I came out, I saw a woman sitting in a chair with one leg hooked on the armrest of the chair and her high-heeled gold-woven slippers hanging on the tip of her toes, and she could fall to the ground with a "pop".
"Yeah, what wind blows you?"
He Xiao scratched his head and yawned, and didn't look at the woman directly.
The woman smiled without any anger and said with a charming look: "I didn't say anything when I came back, I thought there was a thief at home."
"What's wrong? Are you always Sichun? Is it because of your hairstyle today? Is it worthy of your being so seductive to you like an old madam? I can't stand it."
He Xiao turned a blind eye and took out half a box of milk from the refrigerator and poured it into the cup, and started to squeeze it out without any time.
"Ha, what a stupid fool."
Zhang Xuran's gold-woven slippers hanging on her toes finally fell down with a bang, then lit a cigarette, and said, "Ask you something to do, give me the sweet potatoes."
"What?"
He Xiao's face changed at that time: "Do you want to steal my cat?"
"Don't criticize your face! You turtle are not at home for eight days a year, and the cats are all served by me. Now I'm telling me to steal your cat?" Zhang Xuran rolled her eyes and took out a sack of cat food from behind and kicked it in front of He Xiao.
Then Hard Bangbang said, "I can buy it, okay?"
He Xiao lowered his head and looked at the cat food, speechless for a long time.
Or how can you say that Zhang Xuran is a real society? You can buy cats with cat food.
At this time, the sweet potato also came out of the room swayingly. When he saw Zhang Xuran, he immediately trotted over and then looked at He Xiao with disgust.
Feeling that he was despised by the cat, He Xiao turned black and returned to the room to dress with milk in disappointment. "Let's talk about it again. I have something to do today. By the way... Did the car key move me? Why can't I find it?"
Zhang Xuran: "...silly criticize!"
...
The mornings in Yanjing are still as crowded as usual.
He Xiao drove for a long time and didn't move. He 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, it is renovated after renting an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.
It looks ragged on the outside, but it has a unique atmosphere inside. The overall style is also very casual, including a billiards area, fitness area, and bar area.
He Xiao was shocked when he arrived at the address. What a good guy, this is not an office place, and it is absolutely fine to use it to party.
"Yes, you guys have a very comfortable life."
After visiting inside and out, He Xiao couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise.
Zhang Yongkang, who was by his side, laughed and said, "Mr. He, you laughed. Actually, I was the first time when I was building. I thought that our generation was too tired and stressed and facing the computer every day, which was not good, so I built a few more leisure areas so that everyone can relax without any trouble, but don't worry, it will definitely not affect my work."
Because He Xiao acquired the entire studio, the studio officially changed hands, and Zhang Yongkang changed from boss to younger brother, so his name for He Xiao changed.
After a pause, he talked about the important matter: "Mr. He, I have to remind you that if you want to achieve the picture quality in the script requirements of "The Origin of the White Snake", the capital investment will probably be very large. I don't know our budget..."
After reading the script, Zhang Yongkang has been obsessed with "The Origin of the White Snake". As a veteran in the animation field, he knows how much money it takes to achieve He Xiao's picture quality requirements. It can be said that every frame of the picture is spending money.
He didn't know if He Xiao would agree to such a high investment, so he asked very carefully.
He Xiao turned his head to look at him, then stretched out his finger and gestured a "eight" gesture.
"Eight million?"
Zhang Yongkang said tentatively, then his expression was a little frowning.
Eight million is a lot, but it seems shabby to put it into the production of an animated movie. I guess it is not enough for real-life inspections.
He Xiao looked at him sideways, then turned around and walked towards a computer in the office area. At the same time, the sound words on the ground came without hesitation, which cheered everyone up.
