In China, the animation industry is in a downturn, and animated movies are not good either. Only one of the top ten highest-grossing movies is domestic, and it is children-oriented. As Zhao Jingmei said, the box office is less than 300 million.

In recent years, from Xiyangyang to Xiongan, a movie will be released every year to make money, and its performance is quite good. Almost a brand has been formed, which makes major film companies very jealous.

When Zhao Jingmei saw the strong performance of the second season of "The Emperor's Martial Arts" animation, she had the idea of ​​bringing it to the big screen. However, this kind of adult-oriented animated film has no successful precedent in China.

In other words, this project has huge risks. According to her opinion, it is best to control costs. If the cost is controlled at around 10 million, it is definitely a project worth investing in. With the current popularity of this animation and the excellent publicity, she believes that at least it will not be a problem to recover the cost.

But as soon as Zhong Yue spoke, he had an investment of 90 million yuan. In her opinion, it was just a mess. Such a high investment would require at least 270 million yuan to recover the cost. Only after more than 300 million yuan can you make money.

It is no longer than that of the United States. In the United States, the sales of an animated movie can reach half of the box office or even more. This is unimaginable in China.

An adult-oriented animated film, it is a very common talk to break the box office of 300 million. Before that, except for the two children-oriented animated films, the highest-grossing animated film was the Fengyun Jue a few years ago, with 33 million.

The comic "Storm and Cloud" is a work with great influence. It not only adapts TV series, but also movies, and animated movies. The influence is definitely more than ten streets away from "Diwu". Such an animated movie "breaking record" box office has won 33 million.

There is no doubt that such adult-oriented animated films are definitely niche. Even though the domestic film market has developed rapidly in recent years, how many box offices can such niche films win?

Zhao Jingmei really wanted to tell Zhong Yue loudly that this is not what the movie does.

In her opinion, Zhong Yue was lost in his mind by success after success. He had already lost his mind since the first animation of "Diwu". How could a normal person spend tens of millions? To create an animation that would be destined to lose money?

Even if he succeeded by luck, the second part would start to make a profit. But this success made him even more crazy and he actually planned to spend 90 million to make the movie.

Zhong Yue shook his head and said, "I think the quality of the movie is the first priority. The audience is not a fool, so they will naturally vote with their feet."

Zhao Jingmei did not agree with his opinion. In recent years, the film market can be said to be stupid and has a lot of money, and has very few movies that have achieved great success in the end. However, she also wanted to convince him and gave up her intention to directly invest in this project.

She said, "I think the risk is too great for this investment scale. The board of directors cannot pass this investment. However, there is absolutely no problem in the distribution. When the film is completed in the future, I will win you the best schedule and schedule."

Zhong Yue said, "Then I will thank my aunt first."

He called out such a high investment amount, which was originally intended to give up to her. If she agreed, he would have a headache. As for her promise, just listen. If what he made in the end was a big bad movie, would she still fulfill her promise?

So, in the end, you have to rely on your works to speak.

He said, "By the way, there is something really to ask my aunt for help."

Zhao Jingmei was slightly stunned. Then she smiled and said, "If you have anything, just say it. Do you need to be polite with your aunt?"

"I know Chengying has a big production recently, and some special effects are left to the United States. I want to go to that special effects studio to see it, but I don't know if it's OK?" Zhong Yue asked.

Hearing this request, Zhao Jingmei smiled. "I thought it was a big deal. It was very simple. I will make arrangements for you in a few days."

"Then thank you aunt." This time, Zhong Yue thanked me much more sincerely.

Zhao Jingmei asked casually, "Do you want to do special effects too?"

"Now, making movies basically means you can't avoid special effects. It can be said that it is a very important part of the film industry. Of course I am interested." Zhong Yue did not hide his purpose.

Zhao Jingmei didn't take it seriously either. There are many people in China who want to do special effects, but no one is decent. In this regard, the gap between China and the United States is not an ordinary big one.

The two chatted for a while and the banquet began. In Zhong Yue's opinion, such a banquet was quite boring and he didn't listen to what the people above said.

…………

Just as Zhong Yue and Chu Yun entered the hotel, outside Chu Yun rented the door, Cai Jiangyi held a bouquet of red roses in his hand and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened. It was Du Wenwen. When she saw him, her face looked a little strange.

Cai Jiangyi didn't pay attention to her expression, looked inside, and asked, "Where is Chu Yun?"

"She's out," said Du Wenwen.

Cai Jiangyi subconsciously glanced at the time, and was a little surprised. She usually didn't go out at night, "Where have you gone?"

"It's said it was working overtime." Du Wenwen is a loyal person. Without blinking, she made up a lie, "You came to find her, didn't tell her in advance?"

Cai Jiangyi smiled reluctantly and wanted to surprise her."

"Or why don't you come in and wait for her?" Du Wenwen opened the door.

Cai Jiangyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." After entering, he took out the phone and called Chu Yun. After more than a dozen times, no one answered.

Du Wenwen came out with a cup of hot water, placed it in front of him, and then sat opposite him.

Cai Jiangyi nodded to her and continued to dial Chu Yun's phone number. He called several times in a row, but he didn't answer. He put his phone on the table in a bit annoyed manner.

"Maybe it was adjusted to vibrate. Yunyun was the same when she was studying, because she was afraid that her phone would disturb her." Du Wenwen explained to her friend.

Cai Jiangyi's face was a little better, and he also remembered that when she was studying, she really didn't like to disturb others and couldn't answer the phone.

Du Wenwen's eyes rolled and she said, "Ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Cai Jiangyi kept staring at her phone, thinking that when Chu Yun saw that there was a missed call, she called back and answered casually.

Du Wenwen asked curiously, "You have been chasing Yunyun for two years. How has it developed now?"

Cai Jiangyi's face was a little unnatural, "What do you want to do?"

"Curious." Du Wenwen stared at him, "Last week she went back to her hometown with you, didn't you take her down?"

Cai Jiangyi's eyes finally moved away from her phone, and she looked at her with great respect."

"Then there will always be kissing?" Du Wenwen asked again.

Cai Jiangyi laughed dryly and said, "This..."

Du Wenwen understood, held back her laughter and said, "Then hold hands..."

"Where is the bathroom?" Cai Jiangyi was already sweating profusely.

Du Wenwen pointed to the bathroom and said, "Over there."

"Thanks."

Seeing him rushing into the bathroom as if he was running away, Du Wenwen finally couldn't help laughing. After a long time of trouble, he really had nothing to do with Chu Yun.

That's right. With Chu Yun's personality, since she is willing to go back to her hometown with him, she must have accepted this person initially. That is, she is about to become a boyfriend and girlfriend, but she is not considered a boyfriend and girlfriend.

Unfortunately, Cai Jiangyi has been pursuing for two years and is almost about to kick. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.

Du Wenwen thought of this and found it very interesting. "When she comes back, she must interrogate it carefully." (To be continued.)
