American Fortune Life

If someone tells you that in ten years there will be a creature with a height of about 1 meter, no neck and no waist, and huang-colored creatures as thick as head to toe will become the most popular anime image in the world. Perhaps you will think he is crazy.

Ten years later, if anyone still has no idea about this villain, you will definitely think he is really crazy.

I have to admit that the minions are indeed the most famous and most commercially valuable new generation of anime characters in the past ten years. In the past, their short bodies have spread all over the world, although most people do n’t know These little yellow men are thinking something.

"Despicable Me" can not only bring huge economic benefits, but also a project that Andy wants to divide a piece of cake in the territory of Hollywood animated films.

Although Lighting Entertainment has just been established for one year, when it is under the plug-in of Andy, I believe that it can compete with Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, Blue Sky and other old animation movie studios. It may not catch up. .

Chris Meller Dandley is a personal talent. The reason why Global Corporation, which is faltering in the field of animation, is to acquire Eurolight Entertainment, is more for Chris.

Accompanied by many people, Andy made a simple visit to the company. After a circle, he felt that lighting entertainment is not a company, but an animation studio with all the advantages.

In the meeting room, Andy and all employees of the company briefly said a few words, and then started to say the purpose of this visit.

"Despicable Me" took out the outline of the script and a series of simple sketch portraits in Andy, and decided to use this animation as the first test project of Universal Animation.

Andy has a self-knowledge. He is a layman for the production of animation. All he has to do is take out the story and the image of the minions in advance, and give an animation frame to make this group of people take less detours.

As for how to do it, that's their thing. As a big boss, you don't need to worry about it.

"We are a new company and have to admit some of the real problems that exist. How can we play a pivotal role in the highly competitive Hollywood movie market when we are not as creative as DreamWorks, technology is not as good as Pixar, and financial investment is not as good as Disney's animation company? What's the status?

In two aspects, the cost of the film must be strictly controlled during the production of the film to ensure the profitability of the film and reduce the risk of investment.

In addition to controlling costs, working **** the character creation of animation, the protagonist must have a strong personality, do not play cards according to common sense, and the supporting role must have a feeling that people will feel extremely cute, a little stupid, a bit bad when they see it.

"Despicable Me" This script I hope you can perfect it. "

Andy looked at the people in the conference room and said, to be honest, his big boss was able to visit in person, which was very shocking for many people, and a feeling of being valued was born.

The importance of big bosses is naturally very happy as the company's founder, Chris. Originally thought that Universal Pictures had just changed hands soon. Their subsidiary did not know when they would be taken seriously, and might be thrown aside. It may be ignored.

Well now, not only hasn't been ignored, but the big boss is here with the new project.

"Boss, if you want to reduce the cost, we can fine-tune the preliminary work of the animation, and choose to commission the French animation company when producing. France's animation level has always been a world leader, but it has not been able to achieve large-scale production. If we ask them to do OEM, the cost will be reduced by at least 20%. "

Chris, a veteran in the Hollywood animation industry for more than 20 years, knows the entire animation industry well, and when Andy said he wanted to control costs, he immediately came up with a solution .

Andy nodded and smiled at him with satisfaction. "You are professional, you decide. The first animation of lighting and entertainment, I will give you $ 70 million. I hope you can make a perfect work."

Upon hearing the $ 70 million grant, everyone in the conference room applauded with a smile of applause.

You should know that in the nearly one year since the acquisition of Lighting Entertainment, it is not known how much documents have been sent to the Universal Studios for project funding, but no project has been approved.

Well now, you can start work with money. Although the first project is the creative idea of ​​the big boss, everyone has no objection after watching the outline of the script and the characters. Chris listens to the introduction of the big boss. First, Time has noticed the potential commercial value of this group of cricket minions.

The creator of this animation story, Andy, took some time to give some answers and descriptions to the questions raised by the staff, so that they can better make this animation, and less time and energy are wasted.

When leaving, Andy said to Chris with a smile: "Can you let the lighting and entertainment company have the capital to compete with the old-fashioned animation production company, so that Universal Pictures also has the momentum to win the wind and rain in the field of animation films, it depends on you!"

"Boss, please rest assured, we won't let you down!" Chris vowed with a confident smile on his face, rich and complete project structure, high degree of freedom. In this case, he messed up again, Then really get out of the way.

"Then I'll wait and see." Andy smiled and shook hands with Chris before turning on the car.

In the compartment, Andy listened to the short year-end summary report of Universal Pictures President Adam Ferguson, looked at the documents in his hand, looked at the pages, closed the folder, and said to Adam with a smile: "Okay, I Let's go back and take a look slowly. I reached a consensus with Lee, the president of the cj group in South Korea. His cj entertainment hopes to represent our global distribution in South Korea.

Although South Korea's population is only 50 million, this year's movie box office totaled $ 900 million. According to relevant data, South Korea is the country with the highest number of viewings per capita in the world. This year, the number of viewings has reached 190 million, with nearly four per person per capita. This is a considerable market.

However, the nationalistic self-esteem of Koreans has always been strong. We need to cooperate with local forces to open the Korean market.

Universal's previous layout in Tianchao was very successful. However, to continue to increase investment, the film market in Tianchao has begun to rise, and fans of Tianchao are increasingly choosing to enter the theater. I believe that in the near future, Tianchao It will replace the foot basin and become the second largest ticket warehouse after North America. "

"Okay, boss, I asked them to come up with a complete plan. The European film market has become the world of Hollywood. In recent years, the Asian film market has indeed seen a rise." Adam Ferguson nodded.

"At the same time, we also need to consider adding some Asian actors and Asian cultural factors. You can also see the box office of the peak of" Dance Out of My Life 2 ", but there are two additional supporting actors from the Celestial Actor from 4.86 million rmb in the first to the second The mainland of the Ministry is 30 million, HK 20 million, and Wan Wan 20.4 million.

The box office increased by 10 million US dollars, and the two of them paid less than 500,000 US dollars. The price ratio of Xing is too high. This time, my agency will also sign three well-known Korean actresses, who will have suitable roles in the future, and they must be taken into account.

New ticket positions in Asia, we must not miss this opportunity to seize the market. "

Adam Ferguson nodded solemnly and seriously, and he has become the pinnacle of the Universal Pictures subsidiary, and he naturally understood.

"Maybe we can talk about cooperation with Jack Chen."

"Yes, his recognition and box office appeal are unique, but to control the cost, how is the shooting progress of" Spy Shadow "?" Andy nodded and agreed, to be honest, in recent years , Jack Chen's hilarious kung fu movie is not very new in Hollywood studios, and he has also devoted more time and energy to Tianchao movies.

"You can kill them in a month or so."

"that's OK..."
