Chapter 214 Come to a big production(1/2)
100 million, a small deal?
He Yuanguang suspected that he was hallucinating.
It is true that with the explosion of Chinese movie ticket warehouses, the total box office of movies has been rising every year, and there are even several phenomenal high-box office movies every year, which has caused the cost of movies to continue to rise.
However, it is unheard of for He Yuanguang to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to produce a major animated movie.
As mentioned before, if the total box office of an anime movie is tens of millions, it is already considered very impressive in the industry.
If it exceeds 100 million, it will create an industry legend.
Your cost is over 100 million, how many box office will it take to make back the money?
He Yuanguang thought that Luo Mo knew nothing about the film and television industry, so he explained: "Luo Mo, the movie box office is not what you think. Not all box office can belong to us."
"Uncle Guang, of course I know this." Luo Mo said with a smile.
Under normal circumstances, the producer and distributor can share about one-third of the total box office.
This value is not necessarily fixed and may fluctuate depending on the situation.
Depending on the situation, some may get more, and some may get less than imagined.
"You know you are still thinking about launching a billion-level project?" He Yuanguang felt that Luo Momo was stunned.
He didn’t need to go online to check box office records. Since he was in this business, he was familiar with the data. He said: “The current box office record for animation movies is “Panda Wars” released during the Spring Festival last year, a children’s movie.
A family-friendly New Year’s film.”
"Its final box office was 130 million." He Yuanguang said.
"130 million means that the producer and distributor may receive more than 40 million." He Yuanguang was just estimating.
"However, the cost of this movie is 20 million. This is the official cost announced by the public. The actual cost may be lower, so it is still a huge profit."
"But if you use 100 million to do it, if your box office does not exceed 300 million, it will be a loss!"
"This is equivalent to doubling the current box office record and it won't be enough!" He Yuanguang felt that Luo Mo was a bit naive.
Young people should not think that just because they have created a high-reputation god-level animation "Natu", they can kill indiscriminately if they enter the film industry.
If you say that the goal is to exceed 100 million in box office, He Yuanguang will think that this is a like-minded partner.
But if you suddenly think about breaking 300 million, He Yuanguang will have mixed emotions.
Luo Mo sipped the hot water in the cup, smiled slightly, and said nothing more.
He Yuanguang thought he was a little embarrassed, so he said: "But Luo Mo, I think your idea is right. In my opinion, the prospects of domestic animation movies are very good. Maybe in a few years, there will really be productions."
It’s impossible to predict a phenomenal work with a cost of over 100 million and a box office of over 300 million.”
"Yeah." Luo Mo nodded with a serious expression.
He Yuanguang thought that he had calmed down and was not being impetuous and thinking wildly.
Unexpectedly, Luo Mo then said: "So, if you want to do it, be the first to do it!"
He Yuanguang: "???"
…
…
Luo Mo and He Yuanguang have different views, or in other words, different perspectives.
When he heard that the box office of "Panda Wars" was 130 million, instead of giving up the idea, he became more confident.
"It turns out that there is already a children's animation in this world with a box office of over 100 million!" Luo Mo thought to himself.
You know, before the box office explosion of animation movies, there were almost no works worth over 100 million yuan.
However, the emergence of phenomenal works requires the right time, place, and people.
Now, "That Rabbit" has received good word-of-mouth and market response, so this is a good starting point.
Naturally, it is impossible for Luo Mo to say that he will throw out a few "Natu" films in the animation industry and then give up on this market.
On the contrary, if the first step is steady, then keep going.
Others look down on anime movies and think that they can earn so little money just because they are worthless, but Luo Mo knows in his heart how scary it is!
Who wrote the first phenomenal work is very important and crucial.
It's like he created Chinese style, is called the originator of Chinese style, and is a pioneer.
Whoever supports the market first will be the big brother and legend in the industry!
The first work that breaks people's perception can often leave an indelible impression.
"If you want to do it, you have to do it quickly." Luo Mo thought to himself.
But regarding the topic of movies, Luo Mo did not continue to chat in depth with He Yuanguang.
Instead, he discussed with him the issue of investing in Tongguang Studio and expanding the scale of the studio.
"If Mr. Shen doesn't have any objections, I don't have any objections either." He Yuanguang agreed readily.
He appreciates Luo Mo's talent, even though his thoughts are sometimes extremely scary.
He hopes that he and Luo Mo are in the same boat and become a community of interests.
"I have talked with Mr. Shen about this issue, and he thinks..." Luo Mo smiled and said, "The three of us will have dinner together some other time."
"Sure." He Yuanguang nodded.
Then, he asked: "I have already thought about expanding the scale, but how big do you want it to be?"
After he asked this question, he regretted it.
Just as he expected, Luo Mo's reply was: "Do it as big as you can!"
He is eager to package the best talents, the most advanced technology, and the most awesome team in the country... all in one package!
After all, he has no shortage of works in his mind.
Don’t worry about not being able to ship, just worry about the shipment being too slow!
Before everyone pays attention to this issue, hurry up and swing your hoe.
He Yuanguang: "..."
He took a deep breath and said: "Luo Mo, I tell the truth, and we won't brag."
"I have been working in this industry for so many years. If I want to recruit people to work together, or find ways to develop advanced technology, it is not difficult as long as the money is available."
He has connections, resources, channels...
"The key point is, after all these are done, will there be any projects to do?" He Yuanguang said.
Just one "Natu" series is totally not enough.
This is such a short thing, everyone will be out of work after working on it for a while!
"Hey, Uncle Qingguang is looking for me to urge you to write the manuscript?" Luo Mo said with a smile.
He Yuanguang wants more animation scripts.
In fact, although everyone collaborated on "That Rabbit", "That Rabbit" is very special after all, so He Yuanguang doesn't know if Luo Mo can write other styles and types of scripts.
When he said these words, he actually had no confidence in his heart and was prepared to be rejected by Luo Mo.
The animation script is too long compared to the lyrics.
He has just been awarded the title of "King of Love Songs", and his debut album is a masterpiece. He is expected to become even more popular next year.
In comparison, how much money can you make just by making an animation?
If you have the time, wouldn't it be nice to write more songs?
The industry is in a slump, so it's a bit presumptuous to belittle oneself.
Unexpectedly, Luo Mo immediately agreed and said, "I'll send it to you when I go back tonight."
"Huh?" He Yuanguang was shocked again.
"Have you finished writing it?" He was shocked.
In his opinion, shouldn't Luo Mo be extremely busy during this period because of "The King of Love Songs"?
Creation requires time and inspiration.
"It's written." Luo Mo shrugged and said, "Don't look at me like a monster."
"I just use the time other people drink coffee to code words." Luo Mo said with a smile.
…
…
Luo Mo has maintained several good habits since his time travel.
One is the practice of basic skills. I practice voice, dance, musical instruments and so on every day.
Another one is to sit in front of the computer for an hour every day and write some "messy" things.
To be continued...
