MTL - My Animation Era-Chapter 696 Boys and girls, catch them all! (Happy Lantern Festival

   Du Hao is the matchmaker.

   To be precise, Gu Miao needs him to go to Hollywood again, to have a chat with him about the project of "The Lion King".

   The Wanbao family alone cannot support this project...

   It's not that technology is underfunded.

  The reason why Hollywood giants want to enter the game is mainly for the matter of "global distribution".

   Otherwise, what if Wanbao produced "The Lion King" by itself? Without the strength of global distribution, it can only be released in China and even several countries in East Asia, so it is better not to shoot!

  After all, this thing is shot for the global market, and it cannot be distributed globally, and its influence will be greatly reduced. Why does Wanbao do such a thing?

   "Will they say yes?"

  Du Hao was a little skeptical. After all, in his opinion, this project was not as attractive as he imagined.

   "Trust me, it's fine."

  Gu Miao raised her eyebrows and said: "It's really not possible, just tell them that this cooperation is the basis for future cooperation!"

  Wanbao is not a small company.

  As one of the best animation industry giants in East Asia and even the entire Asian region, it can even be said to be the absolute king of the animation industry giant, Wanbao has a lot of big IPs in its hands.

  Hollywood has hinted more than once or twice that Wanbao can cooperate with its IP such as "Sailor Moon", "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "Pokemon".

  Gu Miao naturally knows the value and potential of Wanbao itself.

  So he has full confidence and certainty in whether the project "The Lion King" can attract Hollywood giants.

   "Of course, negotiations belong to negotiations."

   "There is no need to discuss with them about IP copyright ownership and peripheral derivatives. This is the bottom line of our Wanbao." Gu Miao explained.

   Box office splits, DVDs and videotapes, these can be properly compromised, even if you get a little less for the time being, you still have to hold on to the copyright in your hand.

   And there's a little more.

  That is the investment of "The Lion King", which is not expected to be too low, at least tens of millions of dollars to start.

   If you want to join the ranks of splitting the cake, you have to express that you can't let the Wanbao family bear all the production costs, right?

   "How many... tens of millions of dollars?"

  Hearing this, Du Hao couldn't help stammering: "Is it really going to cost so much money? I didn't burn so much money when I was filming "Riding the Horse" before!"

"This is normal…"

  Gu Miao shook her head.

  From the beginning of the movie "The Lion King" project, it was headed towards globalization. Coupled with the joining of Hollywood giants, it is a proper top cast in the industry.

   Tens of millions of dollars sounds like a lot.

  Compared with those Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters with a production cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, what is this?

to be honest.

  The production budget of this production is still quite stable and conservative, and there is no such thing as a fantasy masterpiece of "100 million yuan" level as soon as it comes up.

  40-50 million US dollars, equivalent to about 250-300 million RMB, of which Wanbao can provide up to 200 million, and the rest depends on platters.

  The so-called platter, to put it bluntly, is similar to the "crowdfunding" model.

   It’s just that the crowdfunding targets are all major film investors, film producers, and distributors.

  …

  Du Hao took the business plan and boarded the plane to Laomei under the expectant eyes of everyone in the company.

  Not long after he left, Gu Miao received a message from his wife that the new home of the couple and Xiao Sensen had finally been renovated and ready to move in.

   "It's really a waste of money..."

  After the decoration is completed, you have to settle the bill.

  Because the decoration team that Gu Miao was looking for was actually someone transferred by Mr. Xiong from Feiyang Real Estate, as well as the decoration materials, so it is not easy to default on the money, so it can only be settled on time.

   Don't think it's cheap.

  Gu Miao's new home cost more than 20 million yuan just for decoration. When he paid the bill, he didn't know how many times he scolded the prodigal **** in his heart.

   Speechless!

  He really doesn't understand, how can a broken bathtub and toilet be sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions? The key is that my daughter-in-law also bought it. Isn't this pure and innocent?

   All the money has been spent, so there is no point in complaining.

   After all, it was her new home. After Gu Miao moved in, she specially called all her relatives and friends to have a delicious dinner together.

   "The area of ​​your villa is too small."

   After two sips of wine, Mr. Xiong said carelessly: "If your parents don't move here, the three of you will live here for the time being. That's fine."

   "But if you have a second child and hire two nannies, when the child grows up, you will dislike the small area."

   "I'm not as generous as you!"

   "How about hiring two nannies? I can't even afford one. Now I'm penniless and poor..."

  Gu Miao raised his wine glass and touched Mr. Xiong, and immediately asked, "How is the "Boss Escort" you mentioned earlier?"

   "Don't worry, no problem!"

   Mr. Xiong raised his eyebrows, and said with great satisfaction: "It's not shameful, I don't care at all now, as long as I can make money."

   "Let me tell you, I don't just sell tofu, I also sell oranges..."

   Ah this? !

  After listening to Mr. Xiong's narration, even Gu Miao couldn't help being surprised by his actions.

  This product is really fierce!

  Since getting Gu Miao's advice last time, Mr. Xiong went back and voted for a rotten animation featuring "two male protagonists", that is, "Boss Escort".

   Not only that, but he also set his sights on the field of "orange in orange", and plans to cast another "Double Heroine" to sell ambiguous orange-flavored animations.

  Boys and girls, catch them all!

   "You are this..."

  Gu Miao gave him a thumbs up and praised him: "I am convinced, I am really convinced! You have such a brain, how did you shut yourself up when you were working on Feiyang animation?"

   It doesn't make sense!

  Why didn't I realize before that Bear always has such a bright mind?

  He has such a brain, how did he come up with a FW thing like "Haiwa" before, and was whipped to death until now, causing the company to go bankrupt?

   "Ahem, don't mention Haiwa!"

  Little Xiong always showed a constipated expression on his face and said: "I have a strange disease that makes me sick whenever I hear this name."

   "I didn't figure it out before! I always wanted to save Guoman, save this and that, and fantasized that I was the protagonist, and that I was the savior of everyone..."

   As a result, reality slapped him.

   Still saving Guoman?

   Save yourself first! If you have any skills, you can pretend to be as big as you are, if you don't have that skills, you should be honest, and you can do whatever animations to make money.

   Mr. Xiong is now in the state of "greatly enlightened", let alone "Hai Wa".

  Gu Miao feels that even if "Tom and Jerry" and "The Lion King" are in front of him, he won't be moved.

  Maybe he will spit one sentence:

   "What hooks? I don't think it's as interesting as men selling rot, women selling oranges, cheating love triangle, and tomb robbery Furry!"

  Typical obsession...

  Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival in advance!
