My Animation Era

  Chapter 753 The bond between man and racing car (for subscription)

  The pre-appropriation budget is as high as 100 million. This does not include the additional investment in post-production and publicity. The total may be 150 million.

   Such a big move made Gu Miao feel flustered.

even though…

  Hou Bin has repeatedly stated that the reason for spending more money is because of the large number of animation episodes. An animation with more than 100 episodes must burn more money than an animation with more than 50 episodes.

  In fact, based on the average price, the production cost of a single episode is only 600,000 to 700,000 yuan, which is not particularly outrageous...

  But it can't hold up to many episodes, so it seems that the total budget is very high, even breaking nine figures.

   "It won't be a three-body problem, right?"

  A black line appeared on Gu Miao's forehead. When he thought of the animation that claimed to have invested more than 200 million yuan and turned into a pile of poop, he immediately felt bad.

   Don't blame him for being cranky.

  The main reason is that there are too many similar cases. Those animations that have nothing to talk about and can only use the investment of billions of dollars as a gimmick to attract the audience are most likely shit.

   "Don't worry, I won't do that."

  Hou Bin knew what Mr. Gu meant, and made it clear that he would not use "investing over 100 million yuan" as a publicity stunt, let alone live up to the company's trust in him.

   Regarding his guarantee, Gu Miao is still very relieved. At least he feels that with Hou Bin's character and quality, he should not be able to **** for "100 million yuan".

   Besides, the applications are all approved.

   Regret is impossible. Not only can you not regret it, but you have to fully support Hou Bin to prevent this 100 million investment from being in vain.

  After returning from Shonan, Gu Miao held a meeting to confirm that this year Wanbao will take "Little Fortune of the Magical Chef" as the core work, and asked all departments of the company to cooperate with Hou Bin as much as possible.

  The animation production team is composed of Wolf Castle Studio, Konjac Studio, and Lightning Studio, and is composed of core backbones.

   Quite a luxurious lineup!

   Not only is the production team very luxurious, but based on the successful experience of "Super Beast Armed Forces", the production of "Shen Chef Xiao Fugui" will also adopt a similar method to form a "Galaxy Battleship" level screenwriter team.

  The money has been paid, and the people are also in place.

  The only suspense is probably the animation production cycle, is it based on years or months?

   "It will last for one year!"

  Gu Miao pondered: "After all, the investment is so large, and the construction period is too short. It's really not suitable. But it's not too long. This is not "Tom and Jerry", right?"

  One year is just right.

   It took a year to toss an animation, and with a huge investment of 100 million yuan, the work "Little Fugui, the Chef" is indeed worth looking forward to.

   "By the way, what's the situation at Lightning Studio?"

  Gu Miao looked at Lao Zhang curiously: "Hou Bin went to second people, and other studios readily agreed. Why does Lightning Studio need to delay for a few days?"

   "The reason they gave was that the new work has not been finished yet, and now is the critical period, and the core backbone cannot be deployed for the time being." Lao Zhang explained.

   "New work? Oh yes..."

   "I remembered, they are working on that animation with four-wheel drive as the theme, right?" Gu Miao slapped her forehead and suddenly remembered.

   "Four Drivers Brothers"!

   This is the new work of Lightning Studios to replace the series of "Ray Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line", and it is also their bold attempt to rejuvenate the second spring.

  Lei Sudeng series is lonely.

  The fourth season of the animation died suddenly, and the remote control car was unsalable. Lightning Studio has had a hard time in the past two years, and urgently needs to find a new way out.

  Under Gu Miao's guidance, they chose to use "four-wheel drive" as a breakthrough point, and went all out to produce the animation "Four-Wheel Brothers", trying to bring the children back to the embrace of Lightning Studio.

  At first, because of the name "Four Drivers Brothers", people like Ma Kui and Lao He expressed strong protest at the conference, thinking that Lightning Studio was "blaspheming" the company's executives and disrespecting them.

  Thanks to Gu Miao's support and persistence, otherwise the animation "Four Drivers Brothers" would have been aborted long ago because the name alluded to its own executives.

   "The animation is almost done!"

   Seeing that Mr. Gu was very curious, Lao Zhang immediately introduced to him the latest progress of the "Four Drivers Brothers" project.

  According to Lao Zhang, the animation "Four Drivers Brothers" project has been the core and most important project of Lightning Studio since its establishment and planning, and it is also the project with the largest investment.

  More than one hundred people in Lightning Studio have done their best for this project.

no way!

  Wanbao Animation is a big family. Mr. Gu, the head of the family, has many children.

  The brothers and sisters are all striving for success, and the old father, Mr. Gu, also dotes on them very much. At the end of the year, the old father gives more lucky money than the other brothers and sisters.

  Lightning Studio is the most insignificant and most unpromising fringe boy in the big family of Wanbao. Not only does he not get the favor of his old father, but he also has less New Year's money than other brothers and sisters at the end of the year.

   Don't steam the buns to fight for breath!

  Lightning Studio has ambitions, and is unwilling to lag behind its brothers and sisters. It also wants to receive more year-end bonuses, so that President Gu can take care of and pamper them more.

   So they need 4WD, they need a new animated series to prove themselves...

  Facts have proved that the year-end bonus is very fragrant!

  For the year-end awards, the energy of the fringe boys from Lightning Studios cannot be underestimated. The completion of the animation "Four Drivers Brothers" is very gratifying.

  At least that's how the samples look.

  The sample that Gu Miao got was a rough cut version, without soundtrack and dubbing, but even so, the look and feel of the animation was still very good, which made his blood boil.

  The story is actually not complicated.

  The protagonist Liehao brothers got the basic mini four-wheel drive from the doctor, the Assault God of War and the Sonic God of War from the God of War series.

  The Liehao brothers then modified the car to make it grow and compete with many mini quad drivers in the race...

   Very orthodox "kingdom" plot.

  Wang Dao’s hot-blooded animation is basically this way. Apart from the growth and transformation of the Liehao brothers, the animation mainly describes all kinds of passionate and adrenaline-pumping 4WD races.

  It's doing okay...

   Four-wheel drive competition is actually not as competitive as remote control cars!

  After all, remote control cars still have the link of "player control", and four-wheel drive vehicles are completely out of control. It stands to reason that the game is not as enjoyable and competitive as remote control cars.

  But Lightning Studio's handling of the competition process made Gu Miao very satisfied.

  In the animation plot, he can feel that the God of War and the God of War are no longer just a simple four-wheel drive vehicle, but partners of flesh and blood.

   That's right!

  His first impression after watching the animation is that the two racing cars, the Assault God of War and the Sonic God of War, although they can't speak, are also important "characters" that promote the development of the plot.

  This is different from the Ray Sudeng series.

  Lei Sudeng series mainly talks about the friendship between players. Although there is a perverted setting of "human and vehicle integration", the relationship between people and vehicles has not been reflected.

   As for the four-wheel drive series, it can be seen from the plot that this is about the spiritual bond between the players and the racing car. The racing car is the most important partner of the Liehao brothers!
