I really don't want to be famous anymore

Chapter 287 A Grasshopper on a Boat
He Yu remained silent. He paid a lot of money to make the animated movie "The King". He gave Penguin hundreds of millions in copyright fees alone. If the movie is actually shot and does not achieve the expected results, this will be a big blow to Yuehua. A heavy blow.

Yuehua's task this year is very arduous. There are several movies to be shot. The time is tight and there is no time to delay. According to the original plan, all these film and television dramas must be released within this year. Otherwise, the company will spend too much and there will be no profit. Can't afford employee wages.

The King animation movie is an important part of the plan. If it really makes billions as Ji Xian said, it will undoubtedly play a huge role in Yuehua's subsequent development.

But I was afraid that the movie hit the street and failed to meet expectations. In the end, not only did it not even make back the cost, but it also lost money.

Ji Xian drank tea and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. Today's weather is exceptionally comfortable, the temperature is gradually rising, and it is warm. For him, who is afraid of the cold, it is a special kind of happiness.

"I should go out for an outing, but unfortunately I don't have time."

He sighed in frustration, looked away, and asked with a thought: "Boss, why do you want to make an animation movie? I guess you spent a lot of money to get the right to shoot the king. Anime is not popular in China. It is a business that is easy to lose money, how can a shrewd person like you want to shoot it?"

During the meeting, he learned from the crew that the domestic animation industry is developing slowly, and there are only a handful of good works. Basically, no company is willing to go to this muddy water to shoot animation-themed film and television dramas.

As the boss of a large company, He Yu is a capitalist himself. Ninety-nine percent of capitalists put making money first, and other things are not important. He Yu should know that making animations is very risky. If you lose money, The impact on the company is not small.

"There are actually two reasons why I want to make anime movies."

He Yu sorted out his thoughts and talked eloquently: "First, the domestic market is huge. In terms of film and television dramas, there are people making movies or TV dramas with other themes. Except for animation, few people are involved. Simply put, the animation market is big. Like a mine waiting to be excavated, it hides countless wealth, waiting for those who are destined to dig it."

"Secondly, as a native of Huaxia, I run a big entertainment company. Over the years, the company has made so many movies and TV dramas, but it has never made animations, so I want to make it perfect."

Ji Xian couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Your second reason is too outrageous! Just because your company has never made animation, you have to make it. I'm not saying you are stupid. Boss, you want to make animation." It’s ok, can’t you just make a film? It doesn’t cost much. But if you make a film about The King, it’s a bit careless, and whether you can earn back the copyright fee is a question.”

If you make a perfunctory animation, tens of millions or even millions can be done, and your wishes will be fulfilled by the way.

But you want to play such a big game, and you want to make an animation movie of a world-renowned mobile game. When you lose money, you will know how to write the word regret.

He Yu didn't take it seriously, and said lightly: "To be a human being, you must have great ambitions and set a bigger goal to have the strength to fight. I will bet that I won't lose money this time."

After a pause, he got up solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "It's all up to you this time. I believe you won't let me down. Didn't you say that the movie could make billions if it's finished? I'll wait for that day, don't let me down." Forget, you also invested [-] million yuan in this movie, we are now grasshoppers on the same boat, my loss is equal to your loss."

Ji Xian looked dull, why did you transfer the conflict to me while you were talking, what do you mean by relying on me?You've put me under a lot of stress.

But the second half of what He Yu said was true. As things turned out, they were really just grasshoppers in the same boat, so the movie couldn't lose money. To make money, he didn't want to be saddled with a huge debt for no reason.

"I will try my best. I will refine the script after I come down, and try to make the story more exciting."

Ji Xian felt that he really needed to take the movie to his heart. As for his previous thought of resigning as director, he might as well forget it!He was worried about leaving the movie to others to shoot. After all, he had invested a lot of money.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Forget the hard work. If you want to thank me, you can consider investing a little money in me to make a movie."

"Are you daydreaming? Go away, don't try to get money from me again."

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

Ji Xian said goodbye to He Yu's office. Before leaving, he noticed that He Yu looked at him as if he wanted to eat someone, which made him sigh.

When he arrived downstairs of the company, someone stopped him.

"Teacher Ji."

The corner of Ji Xian's mouth twitched, who is this!Can you please stop calling me that name? It sounds weird. I'm only 19 years old.

He turned his head and raised his eyebrows. The person who called him was a man with glasses and a gentle appearance. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered the name of the other party, Xu Ming, a member of the crew.

"Oh, it's you, you haven't left yet? What do you want me to do?" He asked with a smile.

Xu Ming held up the frame of the mirror and said, "Can I discuss something with you?"

He spoke in a low voice and seemed nervous.

Ji Xian was curious, thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk over here."

The two walked to the rest area in the lobby on the ground floor of the company and sat down. The company employees who knew Ji Xian saw this and said to Ji Xian, "Xiao Xian, do you want me to make you some tea?"

"No need, Sister Li, let's just sit down for a while."

Ji Xian rejected the offer, and the company employee named Sister Li was not angry, and said, "Okay! I'm off to work, just let me know if I have something to do."

There was no one in the rest area at the moment. Xu Ming pursed his lips and said, "I have a friend who also wants to join our film crew. I want to ask, is it possible?"

Ji Xian looked weird, he thought it was something!It turned out that I wanted to help a friend find a job.

He didn't rush to agree and asked: "Is your friend a boy or a girl?"

Xu Ming was stunned. Although he didn't know why Ji Xian asked this irrelevant question, he still answered truthfully: "Female, I am an alumnus."

"What major do you study, have you ever won an award?" Ji Xian asked.

"My major is the same as mine, and I have won awards. She and I participated in the previous National Small Animation Film Competition. I was No. 1 and she was No. 2."

Xu Ming was a little excited as he spoke, speaking quickly and clearly, for fear that Ji Xian would not agree.

Ji Xian's eyes flashed brightly, he slapped his thigh and said, "Sure, you go back and tell her that you will come to the crew to report next Monday."

No. 2 in the country, picking up a talent for nothing, how could it be possible not to.

Xu Ming smiled and said thank you several times in a row.
