Chapter 191 Budget Supplement

"Understood"

Liu Jian, who served as the painting supervisor of the small animation studio established by Chu Yu and Huang Ming, finally told Chu Yu about 5cm per second and the voice of the stars after Chu Yu took out the coloring sketch he had drawn and heard Chu Yu's explanation. I have an intuitive impression of what kind of quality and style the pictures of the two works should achieve.

At this time, most of the people in the studio ran over to surround the two of them. They were all professionals in the industry. After roughly understanding Chu Yu's request, they didn't feel that Chu Yu's request was too excessive.

only

Liu Jian frowned and looked at Chu Yu.

"It's not difficult to just make the animation pictures more beautiful. The main thing is to find excellent, experienced and reliable painters and post-production staff. Huang Ming and we all know a lot of such people in the industry, but the problem is"

"What's the problem?" Chu Yu asked.

The second five in the parallel world can be successful. In addition to the excellent plot, the biggest highlight is the exquisite picture, and the reason why the voice of the star is not obvious in the works of Xin Haicheng is also because the picture is too scum.

For animation, the plot is as important as the picture. If Chu Yu really wants to make these two works popular in the Dragon Kingdom, he must control the picture.

"The issue is."

"I have to pay more." Liu Jian looked at Chu Yu.

"If you pursue quality in animation, manpower will never be the first priority, but budget."

"If the two works want to meet the requirements of your boss as a whole, even if we can make the excellent painters found to be less paid, but according to the allocation of funds scheduled by Huang Ming, I think the investment in painting is still Not enough." Liu Jian spoke very directly, regardless of Huang Ming standing beside him.

"That's it!" Chu Yu frowned.

Chu Yu thought for a while, then ran to another room with Huang Ming to discuss the matter.

"Brother Huang, what do you think about this matter?" Chu Yu asked directly.

"This kind of thing is unavoidable in animation production." Huang Ming sighed.

"Anyway, the quality of the work and the budget are two things that are in direct proportion to each other. I also understand your previous requirements for this work. Indeed, in terms of the market situation in the magic capital, I want to add up these two works. An hour-and-a-half of animation at that quality is really hard to achieve with our budget.”

"It's just that there is no problem in making half of the pictures meet the requirements. Only some important pictures can be invested in fine production, and some unimportant pictures can be sacrificed to save some budget." Huang Ming looked at Chu Yu and said.

Chu Yu nodded when he heard the words. The animation production is basically like this. Xin Haicheng in the parallel world spent millions to make five centimeters per second, which does not mean that Chu Yu can also make it with the same amount of money.

If nothing else, I don't know how much money I have saved for the project just because of the management ability of the team and my ability to perform multiple roles by myself.

Although the animation production team formed by Huang Ming looks good now, it is obviously not up to the level of Xin Haicheng's team in the parallel world. Since Chu Yu still wants to require the same level of picture quality in this case, There is no other way but to increase the budget.

It's just that since Chu Yu did it, he definitely wasn't ready to do it casually.

"Then how much additional budget do I need if I want to achieve the effect I want?" Chu Yu asked.

"At least more than one million!" Huang Ming thought for a while.

"If you really do that, the final investment may reach five million."

Huang Ming said slowly.

This is because the remuneration he asked for these former old friends was not very high, and Huang Ming found a lot of painting through his connections. The leadership of the outsourcing company in the later period was familiar with him, and the asking price was also low, otherwise If you go to someone else, they will definitely charge sky-high prices.

"That's it!" Chu Yu looked at Huang Ming.

"All of our originally scheduled publicity expenses should also be invested in animation production!"

"What about Xuanfa?" Huang Ming frowned.

For a work, publicity is very important. Good publicity can turn a junk work into a popular work. On the contrary, it is common for excellent works to be ignored because of insufficient publicity.

Although the budget for the publicity and distribution of these two works will be less than one million, it is better than nothing. If you are really naked, there is a high probability of hitting the streets.

"It's only the end of July, and there are still five months before the scheduled broadcast date in December. Didn't I newly serialize the manga with Initial D? Based on its royalties, half a year's royalties will be deducted from taxes. There is also a million or so, and then use this money to make up for it!" Chu Yu said.

"And my Natsume Friends Book has been serialized for nearly nine months. According to the length, it is estimated that a single book or an animation adaptation will be soon. Maybe there will be unexpected income by then. The house, although it is a little old, can still be mortgaged for several hundred thousand. If I still have money, I will mortgage it first. I can save it for a few months and then redeem it. I can pay some interest to the bank at most. . Counting our previous cost of 3.6 million, it is only within the budget of 5 million. I think it is still possible to squeeze the teeth."

Huang Ming, who was just listening to Chu Yu's reckoning beside him, had a strange look on his face. After hearing Chu Yu's sigh, he finally couldn't help it.

"You sigh, I have worked hard in the magic capital for so many years and have no assets of 5 million. What if you fill the gap of millions of dollars in a few months?"

After Huang Ming complained, he thought about it and added another sentence.

"At that time, the money will not be enough. We will add the additional budget according to the agreed proportion. Anyway, the agreed proportion of the share will remain unchanged."

Huang Ming's sentence also shows that he agrees with Chu Yu's decision to increase the budget, and he is also ready to vote!

"That's fine!" Chu Yu said there was no problem.

"It's just, Brother Chu, what you are doing means that you may invest all your assets now, aren't you afraid?" Huang Ming looked at Chu Yu.

"What are you afraid of?" Chu Yu asked back.

"Aren't you afraid that you'll lose everything?"

"What I'm afraid of is that these two works will not be popular. As for the loss of money caused by this, then I don't think it matters. If the money is gone, I can make more money. This work is not popular." Chu Yu's words stopped at the right time.

"What will happen?" Huang Ming looked at Chu Yu strangely.

So where do I go to earn rewards?

It's just that Chu Yu definitely couldn't explain it to Huang Ming, otherwise Chu Yu wouldn't put all his money into animation production.

Even if it is only a little quality improvement, it may be the key to whether the two works will earn him system rewards at that time.

It's just that when Chu Yu was busy with all kinds of things, this week, the major comics clubs in Magic Capital released more than a dozen comics about racing cars, almost as if they had negotiated. , The entire Xuan Turtle was nervous.

Xuangui had long anticipated such a situation. After all, before the initial D, there were no decent racing comics in the entire Longguo comic market, so the degree of excavation for this subject was not high.

However, in the past month or so, the popularity of Initial D is obvious to all. From the popularity of the first and second episodes, to the great potential of this theme, the cartoonists have created new racing comics, submitted them, and arranged them to the comics clubs. Serialization and printing are basically the same time flow.

It's really unexpected that a dozen works of the same heart were published all at once. Although the other seven companies in the magic capital did not rashly make the same choice, if the racing comics of these small and medium-sized comic clubs also achieved good results , it is obvious that the other six of the Seven Magic Capitals will naturally not let this theme go.

And the promotional posters of some of the comics directly use the words beyond the initial D, and the plot is similar to the plot of the mountain road, which attracted many comic fans with initial D for a while.

At least judging from the results of the first phase of these works, the response is not bad.

Because of this, Li Xi has been a little upset these days.

Chu Yu saw her frown when she came to pick up the comics, and from the fact that Lin Fan and He Sheng were discussing and worrying about the same things in the past few days, he could also guess what Li Xi was worried about.

So he took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Li Xi, you don't have to worry about what effect those following works will have on Initial D."

"How can you not be worried!" Li Xi sighed.

"I understand that with the strength of the cartoonists of the small and medium-sized cartoon companies, the quality of their works will never reach the level of the initial D, but I am worried that the other big cartoon companies in the magic capital will see the potential of this theme. Come in together to disrupt the situation, if that's the case, no matter how exciting the plot of Initial D is, I'm afraid it will attract a lot of popularity."
