Chapter 548 Art Movie(1/2)
In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Ping landed at Shanghai Airport.
When Lin Ping walked out of Shanghai Airport, Mukennan had been waiting for a long time.
Mukennan's plane landed an hour earlier than Linping.
He was in a daze at the airport and finally waited for the appearance of the main owner.
"If your plane doesn't land, I will go to the Shanghai Art Film Studio to see those works first.
Why haven't you reminded me before that there is such a professional team in China?
If I had known that there was such a professional team, I would not have built two more teams in Neon Country.
These two teams spent a lot of money.
I dug up one of them after paying a large penalty for liquidated damages.
If you told me earlier, wouldn’t I save a lot of money?” Mukennan said with a little complaining.
Listening to his complaints, Lin Ping went straight into his left ear and out of his right ear.
"In the future, you are destined to be the largest animation production company in Asia.
In the future, your opponent will most likely be Disney.
If you don’t even have this ambition, just give up on this business.
It's also great to be a game console salesperson with peace of mind." Lin Ping stared at Mukennan and said with a provocation.
Listening to Lin Ping's use of such a clichéd approach, Mukennan was not fooled at all.
"You kid are ambitious and have directly beaten Atari, the world's number one game console manufacturer, has not yet recovered.
Even in the film industry, before Hollywood could react.
You guys have expanded the scale of theaters to such a terrifying level.
In this way, even if those theater manufacturers in Hollywood want to respond effectively.
He can't do anything to you now, especially in the entire Asia region.
The only thing they can do now is to consolidate their traditional territory and strengthen cooperation with Europe.
I also want to have ambitions, but my wallet cannot support my ambitions.
The two teams I formed are one responsible for "Naruto" and the other responsible for "Dragon Ball". If the mainland's human resources were not very cheap, I wouldn't dare to wade into this muddy water with you." Muknan talked straightforwardly about his financial weaknesses.
The animation is selling well, and the peripheral products have also made Muknan make a lot of money.
Coupled with the dividends in North America, Mukennan's financial strength is much stronger than he said.
Lin Ping saw through and said it out loud, but continued to stimulate him.
“Did your team formed in Neon Country have any experience in making long animated movies?
Shanghai Art Film Studio has had the experience of many feature films.
With this advantage, not considering labor costs for the time being, it is enough to represent their strength.
Now my theater platform has been built, and I don’t plan to invest too much money in the animation movies at the moment.
As a partner, this is all for you to save face.
If you are not planning to make a big investment in anime movies.
As long as you say something, I will immediately invest in 5 animation movies after the New Year." Lin Ping looked at Muknan and waited for him to make a decision.
"It's okay to let me invest, but you have to give me a reassurance.
If the box office of animated movies I invest in is not good, first of all, in terms of box office sharing, you have to give me some support.
In addition, I have to guarantee the proportion of the film and the duration of the release.
Don't worry, there are only two or three works that are cheaper.
After I have experience in two or three works, I will definitely sign a contract with you at the market price.
At that time, I will lose or make money, and I will have the ability to bear it myself." Although Muknan's request was too much, this is also a very practical situation.
Animation movies have a large investment and a long production cycle.
A live-action movie, one-minute shots, even if it is repeated, even if the director has extremely high requirements.
Even the shots of this minute are all martial arts action scenes, or even explosion scenes of chasing a car. As long as the budget is sufficient, it can be filmed for up to two days.
However, animated movies with the same content.
Not to mention two days, even two weeks can be done, everyone should laugh secretly.
In this era of underdeveloped computer technology.
Every frame and every picture require hand-drawing adjustment.
Under such a difficult creative model, you can imagine how long the entire production cycle of the film is.
Although there is not so much smoke in the car chase and explosion in anime movies, there is not so much danger of life and death.
However, the funds consumed are not much cheaper than real-life photography.
It is precisely because of this that even in the era of the Internet explosion.
The number of animation movies produced is less than 1% of live-action movies.
Spending the same money brings a different feeling to the audience.
Especially, the scene of the car chasing explosion is more exciting when real shots are taken.
Even the special effects made by computers are much better than those presented by animations.
In the era of the Internet explosion, with the rapid advancement of 3D technology, there were even fewer animation movies drawn in 2D.
"I can give you corresponding support, but it depends on what it is.
If it is mainly Asian culture, I can meet all the above conditions.
If it is European and American culture as the creative background, then I cannot meet the above conditions you put forward. "Lin Ping drew the creative scope.
If it is based on Asian culture, or more precisely, on Confucian culture.
Lin Ping can naturally meet these conditions of Mukennan.
After all, as long as these videos are released, they will have a great publicity effect on the promotion of Eastern culture.
Subtle influence of overseas audiences, this is the effect Lin Ping wants to get.
"Don't worry, I will not take advantage of you and shout for others.
Although I have a lot of Marvel and DC comics at home, I also like superhero-style animation works.
If it is really a movie that is filming an anime, I will choose the script carefully and will definitely meet all your conditions." Mukenan earnestly assured.
"Very good, don't forget what you said today." Lin Ping was very satisfied with Mukennan's current attitude.
After briefly talking about the work arrangements, the two of them turned their attention out the window.
Looking at the relatively desolate environment, Lin Ping knew in his heart how valuable these lands outside were.
Unfortunately, no matter how rich I am.
It is impossible to buy all the land.
Even if I have this intention, the above will not agree.
Looking at the scenery along the way, the two of them spent more than an hour and finally arrived at the Shanghai Film Studio.
After the studio, the two were arranged to the best room in the guesthouse.
After a brief rest, the two of them came to the screening room to watch everyone's results.
This is a 5-minute short film, an excerpt from the plot.
There is not much highlight in the plot of the story.
The other party obviously also understood that it was impossible to tell a good story in 5 minutes.
So, they put the biggest highlight in the action scenes.
The 5-minute short film has at least 4 minutes, and it is in a chaotic battle.
The content of these 5 minutes is actually Kakashi's plug-in class, challenging the entire Akatsuki organization.
Although everyone's strength level is not on the same level.
After all, this is not a serious plot story, so naturally it would not be possible for Itachi to fight Kakashi alone.
It is just for the sake of showing. Shanghai Film Studio's creative strength in fighting scenes.
For Lin Ping, who has watched the entire anime work, these 5-minute fight scenes can completely rank among the top three in all fight scenes in "Naruto".
It's such a high level when you take action.
Not only Muknan was particularly excited, but Lin Ping was also surprised.
After all, Naruto's style is not to mention in the mainland environment.
