Chapter 19 We do it ourselves!
He sent Jiang Weiyu and Jiang Xiyao away, returned to Meng Zhe in the studio, and was immediately surrounded by countless problems.
Mr. Ma thought that "Go Boy" was not painted by Meng Zhe. Meng Zhe answered with the original painting on the spot.
The director Gao was curious about why Meng Zhe created Go Boy. This question is easier to answer - he likes to play Go and draw comics, which is enough.
The director asked the most reliable question. He wanted to know the follow-up storyline of Go Boy, because it was about whether it could be made into an animated film.
After getting a brief description of Meng Zhe's relatively general storyline, the director also expressed his satisfaction, because the follow-up story is also very positive, and there is basically no need to worry about not being able to pass the review after shooting.
There are many other miscellaneous problems, but under the explanation of Meng Zhe and Kong Lan, the final ending is basically happy.
The producer Zhu Jianqiang, during this period, he kept using semi-Cantonese and semi-Mandarin, which obviously imitated Hong Kong films, and talked to Mr. Ma of Kelong Foreign Trade Company about the income of cartoons, which made Meng Zhe understand a lot of information about the domestic animation market in this era--
"Mr. Ma, let me tell you... As long as this cartoon is filmed, it will be a minute-by-minute problem to pass the national review! After it is filmed, we can take it to various TV stations to sell it. It is more than 1,000 yuan per minute on CCTV, and the local station is a little poor, but it is also about 200 yuan... And Mr. Ma, I tell you, according to the national law, as long as this cartoon is broadcast by a TV station within 50 years, it must pay the investor..."
When talking about this, Zhu Jianqiang pointed to the director Wen and asked, "Director Wen, come and talk to Mr. Ma - how much does it cost for each episode of animation?"
"It's like this, Mr. Ma. The cost of each episode is high and low. The high cost can cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per minute, and the low cost about 5,000 yuan per minute..." The director Wen was also honest, and he replied one five ten.
Before Director Wen finished his words, he was directly interrupted by Zhu Jianqiang's wave. He interrupted Director Wen's Zhu Jianqiang's interface and said, "Mr. Ma, we'll shoot these 5,000!" Shoot it out, as long as we can sell it to 25 TV stations, we will get our capital back! If we sell it to 50 TV stations, we will earn 5,000 yuan, and if we sell it to 100 TV stations, we will earn 15,000 yuan! Moreover, this fifteen thousand is only one minute... Each episode of cartoon has at least 20 minutes, and this episode is 300,000!"
Hearing this, Meng Zhe suddenly felt wrong.
300,000 per episode?
Are you kidding? If an episode of cartoons can really earn 300,000 yuan, will the Chinese cartoon business before our rebirth be so sluggish? This Zhu Qiangqiang, who said these words, was clearly fooling Mr. Ma and wanted to invest from his pocket!
Zhu Qiangqiang, even investors dare to fool him, so what else does he dare not do?
Thinking of Meng Zhe here, he quickly glanced at Kong Lan. After all, he is just a 12-year-old boy who has just gained some fame.
Meng Zhe's eyes on Kong Lan revealed only one meaning, that is, he hoped that Kong Lan would quickly find an excuse to get Zhu Jianqiang away! This cooperation in co-shooting cartoons basically doesn't need to continue.
This cooperation continues. Even if the cartoon is really made, Meng Zhe feels that 90% of it is definitely a bad film of the collapse level... Is there much profit for this kind of self-smashing brand thing? I don't do it until my brain is broken.
It's like a sharp heart. When Meng Zhe looked up and gave Kong Lan a glance, Kong Lan also happened to look at Meng Zhe...
"Gentlemen, it's getting late now. I've sent someone to order the best restaurant in the city just now, which can be regarded as picking everyone up! Please move forward--" Kong Lan, who exchanged eyes with Meng Zhe, said after clearing his throat.
......
On the wine table, the chopsticks are intertwined.
Mr. Ma soon lost his drinking power. He was the first to lose the battle and was helped by the people he brought to go to the hotel to rest.
The rest of the people continued to eat and drink. Zhu Qiangqiang probably felt that he had cheated successfully, so he also let go of the amount of wine to a glass of dry.
Soon, Zhu Jianqiang began to talk nonsense. He patted Director Wen on the shoulder and said, "Lao Wen! I remember it when I shoot and shoot this time - the characters! Don't exercise as much as possible. If you have to move, just move your mouth... mouth, don't touch your body; character! You are not allowed to change clothes. From, from beginning to end, you are only allowed to dress them..."
Hearing this, the director Wen, who was only five minutes drunk, quickly said, "Zhu producer, you are drunk!"
Zhu Jianqiang waved his hand indifferently and continued, "Drunken?! I'm not drunk! Keep listening to me - character! If you can't run around, don't run around. It's best to have a story in a fixed place! In addition to the protagonist Jiang Liuer and the villain's steel and steel plate, the simpler the other characters are... the better; the background should also be as simple as possible, and don't make a lot of time and space changes... The cost per minute must not exceed two thousand and fifty-five, do you understand, do you understand?
The cost of 2,5 per minute?
Meng Zhe, who was sitting next to Kong Lan, felt sad in his heart. Can he still see what was made according to these requirements?
No wonder 90% of the domestic cartoons after the 1990s are collapsed!
"Sister Lan, reject them." Meng Zhe whispered to Kong Lan. After a contemptuous glance at Zhu Jianqiang, who was sweeping the ugly, he added with an extremely firm tone: "Animation or something, we will... do it ourselves in the future!"
"Good!" Kong Lan reached out and patted Meng Zhe on the shoulder affectionately, and then smiled happily.
"Uncles and aunts, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, so I have to go home first!" Therefore, Meng Zhe got up and said, in order to prove that his stomach was indeed 'uncomfortable', he deliberately covered his stomach with his right hand.
"Oh, this is a little difficult to do! Gentlemen... I sent Xiao Zhe home. Eat well and drink well!" Kong Lan looked at Meng Zhe in surprise, and then got up with a smile and said.
Following this excuse, Kong Lan took Meng Zhe's hand and easily escaped from the restaurant.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the restaurant, Meng Zhe, who had a stomachache and crooked his mouth, immediately recovered miraculously.
"I didn't expect that this producer Zhu was such a person. He was clearly trying to take money out of Mr. Ma's pocket under the guise of making cartoons..."
Kong Lan frowned slightly. She was obviously not in a good mood. She was looking forward to this matter.
"It's okay, Sister Lan. We don't need to count on these people at all. When we have enough funds in the future, we can just set up an animation company by ourselves!" Meng Zhe tried to comfort Kong Lan. He felt that this matter might be a big blow to Kong Lan.
So, Meng Zhe continued to say witty words: "At that time, we can shoot whatever we want. If we want to invest more, we can invest more. If we want to invest less, we can invest less!" If you want to shoot the chess soul, shoot the chess soul. If you want to shoot the Go teenager, shoot the Go teenager! After shooting... Let's watch one and throw one... I envy the people in the dead house!"
"Oh, Xiao Zhe, you..." Because he drank a few glasses of wine, Kong Lan, with a slightly red face, was amused by Meng Zhe's witty words.
Under the action of alcohol, Kong Lan's eyes also looked slightly hazy. Her originally hard cheeks also became much softer.
Kong Lan stretched out his hands and wrapped them around Meng Zhe's shoulders, and then she bent down...
"What a good brother who can make people feel at ease."
A wine-flavored kiss was imprinted on Meng Zhe's forehead.
