My singer girlfriend is super fierce.

The next morning, Ye Zhiqiu received a call from Huang Shiguang as soon as he arrived at the Huahai Entertainment recording studio.

"The script of "Fog Mountain Five Elements" is very good! But there are only three episodes?"

"Is it too short?"

Huang Shiguang was puzzled. The same is true for "That Rabbit". The most complained by netizens is the problem of "shortness".

Ye Zhiqiu replied: "For the time being, I can think of three episodes of the plot. I will think of the rest later."

Huang Shiguang nodded and said nothing more.

Fortunately, the plot of the three episodes is relatively complete, which does not affect the viewing experience.

Huang Shiguang continued, "I estimated that the production cost of the animation "Fog Mountain Five Elements" is about 3.5 to 4 million, which is much higher than the production cost of ordinary 2D animation."

"The biggest difficulty is the ink painting style, which requires a high level of painters and workload."

Ye Zhiqiu did not dwell on this question and asked, "How long will it take to produce?"

"About half a year."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded. In his previous life, someone on the Internet estimated that the production cost of the animation "Fog Mountain Five Elements" was about 500,000 to 600,000 per episode.

But this was a full four years of work by only six main creative staff. Due to insufficient funds, the "Six Paths Without Fish" studio only used this "time for money" method.

In the previous life, this animation had a small problem of lack of key frames in non-important shots, which was also due to the lack of funds. It can be seen that the production team tried their best to design rich character movements to make up for the sense of stuttering, but it still left a little regret.

But the situation of "Autumn of Light" is different. For Ye Zhiqiu, millions of funds are not a problem. Time is the most precious.

After all, he still has many works he wants to do.

Ye Zhiqiu said directly: "I'll give you 5 million, don't save money on any link."

"Also, if you need to recruit people, just recruit people, they will be useful in the future."

"Okay!" Huang Shiguang was overjoyed, "After the broadcast of "That Rabbit", many people spontaneously submitted their resumes. I think a few of them are good, so I recruited them!"

This kind of funding and personnel are sufficient, and it feels so good to do what you like!

"If there is an extra 1 million funds, you can also hire a well-known martial arts instructor."

"By the way." At this point, Huang Shiguang hurriedly said: "Zhiqiu, I need your help."

"There are many fighting scenes of traditional weapons in "Wushan Wuxing". I am not professional enough in martial arts action design. I need you to help find someone."

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and subconsciously said: "Who?"

Huang Shiguang did raise a question. A large part of the success of "Wushan Wuxing" in the previous life was the design of the wonderful fighting scenes.

Director Lin has been a martial arts fan since he was a child. He likes to watch Hong Kong martial arts movies and has a deep study of the martial arts movements in them. The weapon he has studied the most is the spear. Therefore, he can design such realistic martial arts movements in the animation "Wushan Wuxing".

But Huang Shiguang does not have this foundation. It is indeed a bit difficult for him to design martial arts movements, so it is still necessary to find a professional martial arts instructor.

However, Ye Zhiqiu searched in his mind and he didn't seem to know such an expert?

"Tang Kui, a Hong Kong native, is one of the most famous martial arts instructors in China." Huang Shiguang said, "Didn't you write a few theme songs for the movie "Tang Tiance Army" not long ago? He is the martial arts instructor of that play."

"You should be able to contact him through Director Zhao Jinglun."

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly realized and said directly: "Okay, I'll ask."

Huang Shiguang said: "Okay, we will draw the shape in the next few days and send it to you."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhiqiu directly dialed Zhao Jinglun's number.

The call was quickly connected.

"Zhiqiu?"

Zhao Jinglun's hearty laughter came, "Haha, I was just about to find you today, and your call came."

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and asked in confusion: "Director Zhao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I can see that you don't pay attention to the box office." Zhao Jinglun smiled and said: "The cumulative box office of "Tang Tiance Army" has exceeded 2 billion. The crew is going to hold a celebration banquet the day after tomorrow, and I want to invite you to attend."

"The two interludes you wrote, "Fu Kuanglan" and "Yi Shi Xin Shang Chang'an", have made great contributions and have been widely praised."

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly realized and smiled: "Congratulations to Director Zhao, but you also know that I am preparing for a concert recently, so I won't go to the celebration banquet."

Ye Zhiqiu has indeed not paid much attention to the information about the movie box office recently. I vaguely remember that "Tang Tiance Army" was on a hot search after its premiere.

I remember that the production cost of the movie "Tang Tiance Army" was more than 500 million?

The box office and revenue of a movie are two different concepts. Generally speaking, after deducting taxes, distribution agency fees, and theater chain retention, the box office of 2 billion yuan is the producer'sThe amount is about 35%.

In this way, it should be easy for the movie "Tang Tiance Army" to make a few hundred million yuan. After all, the filming schedule has not yet ended, and the later online paid viewing will be another income...

No wonder Zhao Jinglun's tone is a bit high-spirited.

Although he is already one of the four major directors in China, it is still not easy to direct a movie with a box office of more than 2 billion yuan and not lose money.

Zhao Jinglun was not surprised by Ye Zhiqiu's refusal. He certainly knew that Ye Zhiqiu was busy with the concert recently.

But whether the other party comes or not is one thing, and whether the crew sends an invitation is another thing, which shows an attitude of importance.

The two tacitly did not continue on this topic. Ye Zhiqiu asked: "Director Zhao, is there an action director named Tang Kui in your crew? Can you introduce him?"

"Tang Kui?" Zhao Jinglun was stunned on the other end of the phone.

"There is this person. Why are you looking for him? Is Huahai Entertainment going to make a martial arts movie?"

"No, I'm shooting it myself." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, "But it's not a martial arts movie, it's an animation."

Zhao Jinglun was even more confused, "Animation? The same model as your "That Rabbit"?"

Ye Zhiqiu said, "Yes, because there will be more fighting scenes in the imagination, so I still want to ask a professional to guide me."

After understanding the whole story, Zhao Jinglun said directly, "Okay. Director Tang and I have been in a cooperative relationship for many years. He should have a schedule after the play "Tang Tiance Army" is finished."

"I'll send you the number later."

Ye Zhiqiu said quickly, "Thank you, Director Zhao. I'll come to thank you later."

"You're welcome." Zhao Jinglun said with a smile, "By the way, I saw your performance in the show "National Treasure". It was a good performance."

Ye Zhiqiu thanked him modestly, and the two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

On the other hand, Zhao Jinglun sighed in his heart that nowadays, animations have professional martial arts instructors, which is very different from what he understood before, and the animations are becoming more and more sophisticated.

How can the quality of such a carefully crafted work be bad?
