208. I am the man who wants to be the king of fire eggs

"20,000 yuan? The money you spend is 6 million! An investment of 5 million yuan, a camera of 200,000 yuan and a portrait right for a person with 800,000 yuan! This is the only one that gives us 20,000 yuan? The return rate is really high!" Lin Muyu said.

At this time, a new fax came in from the fax machine: "This time I invited the crew of Journey to the West to perform in Nanyang. Each person gave a subsidy of 20,000 yuan. During the period, the portrait fee for filming promotional films was 100,000 yuan... What's going on?" Lin Muyu was surprised.

After a while, several more faxes came in, and Lin Lin had to pay Zhan Long a total of 300,000 yuan.

"Look, won't the camera money be back? There will be more money in the future." Su Budong said. "So you should believe me, right? Come to the Shanghai Stock Exchange tomorrow to help me handle the business license."

"No, I will get sick tomorrow and need to lie in bed to rest. I will ask someone else to go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to do this." Lin Muyu said tricked. She didn't want to go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to see Su Budong's proud face. Why is this good luck so good? How could anyone come to send money?

"Okay, as long as someone comes, you can do it." Su Budong was speechless about Lin Muyu's temper. He just said that he would come in person as long as he makes money. In a blink of an eye, he changed his mind again?

……………………

Back at the club, I received the Seven-Ba and asked, "How is it?"

"Zhang Xuan lost. The Japanese team won two consecutive victories." Twin Ye briefly explained the situation.

"Lost? How could you lose?"

"Zhang Xuan is too nervous. There are chess games in front and there is too long test. There is not enough time in the future. He played several bad games in a row in countdown, so he lost." Shuangye said.

"Then go to Japan to play chess?"

"Well. The people in the Japanese Chess Academy are going to be very happy this time." Shuangye said.

"I don't think you're very happy either?"

"Of course I'm going toward the Chinese team. The people in the Japanese Chess Academy have been arrogant for too long. I hope someone can cure them more." Shuangye looked unhappy.

Su Budong touched Shuangye's head and smiled, "I can't tell that our little Shuangye is also interested in China."

"It's a must, after all, I like China." Twin's influence was almost a little Japanese gangster under Su Budong.

He entrusted Nie Jiuduan to send Shuangye back to the capital. Su Budong said that he had to stay in the Shanghai market for a few more days before he could go back. Shuangye had been accustomed to Su Budong's wandering around games and incompetent business, and was used to Su Budong's idea of ​​being imaginative that day, so he discussed the next situation with Nie Jiuduan while boarding the train back to the capital.

When Zhanlong came to complete the business license procedures, Su Budong and Mr. Wan and Mr. Sheng discussed the production of cartoons.

Mr. Wan found several of his retired apprentices, while Mr. Sheng also found several retired old artists from the American Film Studio. Everyone found a conference room to discuss.

Mr. Wan said he wanted to make another mythological movie, similar to the style of "The Great Trouble in Heaven", and asked others for their opinions.

Su Budong had no objection, and only made one suggestion: "Since it is a mythological story, it is nothing more than Chinese traditional texts such as "Shan Hai Jing", "Journey to the West", "Suoshen", and "Fengshen Romance", so the mythological story movie I want to make should be related to the subsequent... For example, if you make a movie "Jiang Ziya", then at the end of the story, there will be a character in "Fengshen Romance", such as Lei Zhenzi, Huang Feihu, etc., which is linked to other characters in "Fengshen Romance" and made into a series."

"The problem is that it takes two years to draw the original painting just by making a movie. As you said, how many years will we go to paint?" Wan Laiming asked.

"Mr. Wan, I think it's not necessary to have the same director, for example, two movies start at the same time." Subdong thought of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and wanted to create a Chinese mythical Universe.

"In this case, two movies will be two in 2 years... Maybe it's OK, let's discuss it again." Mr. Wan said.

"As for Mr. Sheng, can we make long animated feature films?"

"Long-length? How long?" Long-length animations are not common in China today.

“About 60 episodes.”

"Episode 60? What year did you go?"

"A episode 24 minutes, and the opening and ending materials are universal for 3 minutes. Starting from 2-3 minutes, you can use a brief summary, and use 30 seconds to insert advertisements in the middle, which means that only 14 or 5 minutes of animations can be used for one episode."

"Then aren't you lying to the child?" Mr. Sheng heard for the first time that animation can still do this.

"This is called fraud, at most it is called actively contributing to the Chinese animation industry..."

Everyone: "..."

Wan Laiming discovered that Su Budong had many wrong ideas in his mind. Although it was a little out of tune, there was still some truth in thinking about it.

"Even if the feature film you said is OK, what about the story? What do we do without a story?"

"Stories? I have a lot of them here. Which aspect do you want to do?" Su Budong asked.

“We want to do myths, too.”

"Then make a magical book of heaven?"

"The Strange Book of Heaven?"

The Legend of Heavenly Book is an animation based on "The Legend of Ping Yao" produced by the American Film Studio where Su Budong's previous life was produced in 1983. The original work only has 40 chapters in just 40 chapters. I don't know why in this life, "The Legend of Heavenly Book" was not released, which gave Su Budong a chance to adapt it on the original work.

In the animation, Yuan Gong's image is similar to Prometheus. He took the Jade Emperor to the Yaochi party and shot open the stone niche door, took the Heavenly Book privately and carved the heavenly book on the stone wall of Baiyun Cave in Yunmeng Mountain. Yuan Gong violated the Heavenly Law because of revealing the secret of heaven. The Jade Emperor punished him to guard the Heavenly Book of Shiwai for life. One day, Yuan Gong walked on the clouds to patrol the mountain. The swans gave birth to an egg. Yuan Gong used magic to turn the swan egg into a human form and named it Dan Sheng. In order to pass on the heavenly Book of Shiwai to the earth, he instructed Dan Sheng and others to raise the colorful smoke from the incense burner at the Baiyun Cave, bring white paper, and dig the heavenly Book of Shiwai on the stone wall in the cave. Dan Sheng laid the heavenly Book of Shiwai as Yuan Gong told Dan Sheng to dig the heavenly Book of Shiwai to dig it.

Learn hard and use the heavenly books to benefit the people. Dansheng studied the heavenly books, cured locusts and rescued disasters, and eliminated harm to the people. The three vixen hated Dansheng for the evil, and used conspiracy to steal the heavenly books, colluded with the government, and harmed the people. Dansheng pursued the heavenly books and fought with the vixen many times. When Dansheng competed with the vixen for the heavenly books, Yuan Gong came. He took back the heavenly books, took out a white stone mirror from his arms, and crushed the vixen to death at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain. Yuan Gong thought that he could not escape the law gate of the heavenly court, so he handed the heavenly books to Dansheng and asked him to keep the heavenly books in his heart as soon as possible. Then Yuan Gong burned the heavenly books with a handful of divine fire. In an instant, thunder and lightning were interspersed, and the Jade Emperor issued an imperial decree to capture Yuan Gong and sued him for punishment.

The original work created the image of Dan Sheng, Yuan Gong, and the vixen, which made Su Budong, who was a child, extremely fascinated. Now, he has the opportunity to reshape the classics, so these key characters must be retained, and the plot will be appropriately adapted...

"This "The Legend of Heavenly Book" is adapted from "The Legend of Ping Yao". There are many masters on the scene, so I won't show off my skills. I believe most of you have watched "The Legend of Ping Yao", and all we have to do is adapt "The Legend of Ping Yao" into a cartoon that teenagers love to watch."

"Manager Su, you are a talented person who returned from Japan. Japanese anime is said to be particularly popular in the world now. Please give us a way to learn how to adapt this story." Mr. Sheng said. He intended to see Su Budong's ability and what ideas does this person who always loves Chinese anime have.

"Forty years ago, three foxes harmed the common people... In order not to let monsters harm the world, Yuan Gong stole the Heavenly Emperor's Heavenly Book from the world and sealed one of the most powerful and highest magical nine-tailed foxes in a swan egg with the magic of heaven. At this time, the swan egg was influenced by the spirit of the fox and the Heavenly Book and transformed into a human. Yuan Gong named him Dansheng, entrusted him to an old couple, and used the Heavenly Book as the eye of the formation to let the old couple be blessed by the Heavenly Book. Yuan Gong was criticized by the Heavenly Emperor and asked him to take care of the Heavenly Book... The story begins from then on." Su Budong began to make up stories, and the name of this story is called Naruto, Tianshu, and Yuzuo Egg.

"What about the other two foxes?" Mr. Sheng asked.

"In order to save the nine-tailed fox sealed in Dansheng's body, they each sneaked into other human villages and were preparing to attack the old couple who raised Dansheng. However, the Heavenly Book magic repeatedly protected the two old couples. Only then did the two foxes realize that only if someone steals the Heavenly Book can the old couple not be protected by the Heavenly Book..." Su Budong wrote this up and suddenly felt a little exhausted and didn't know how to continue.

"So, the best target of stealing the Heavenly Book is Dansheng? Because Dansheng has the Heavenly Book Aura and the Fox’s Aura." Mr. Sheng said following Su Budong's thoughts.

"Yes, they focused on Dansheng and lured Dansheng to steal the heavenly books... Dansheng, who grew up at this time, was regarded as a monster by his classmates. Because Dansheng was not very good at studying, he ranked last in the exam every year. Although he often said he didn't care, he still longed for other people's recognition in his heart. The fox used the method of provoking him to steal the heavenly books, lied to him that as long as he stole the heavenly books, he would make people look at him with admiration."

"So Dansheng went to steal the Book of Heaven! It's amazing, there are a lot of story materials to dig in here." Mr. Sheng thought this story was interesting.

"What's behind..." Su Budong wanted to say it, because he found that he was really talented and could not stop the inspiration when it came, so he wanted to tell the story behind it as soon as possible.

"Let's do it later. Your story is quite interesting. But we need to think about the specific details." Mr. Sheng was not grateful and joked. Su Budong finished everything alone, and he asked him, the director to do what he did.

"By the way, it's best for the fox to invite monster masters of varying degrees every once in a while. Then Dansheng has to go to Tianshu to learn more powerful magic to defeat monsters. When fighting monsters, you must read the names of tricks, such as Rasengan, or something..." Su Budong didn't give up and planned to implement his Naruto journey.

"Rusuenwan is so ugly." Mr. Sheng said that he could not accept this. What the hell is it that the "pill" contained in the trick?

"If there is a second part, it's better to add a monster from Wu Penn. This monster has six clones, representing the Heavenly Way, Shura Way, the Earthly Way, the Animal Way, the Evil Ghost Way, and the Hell Way..." Su Budong said that you really have to consider the plot of my development, it's really a big deal.

Mr. Sheng said angrily: "It is obviously a Taoist heavenly book, and even the concept of Buddhism has come in. Do you want to stir-fry a hodgepodge?" But I have to admit that Su Budong's statement is really interesting...

"Also, I have figured out the character, too." Su Budong was afraid of getting out of the original work, so he would draw a few strokes anyway, so he outlined it with a pencil.

The image of the tiger head and tiger brain is vivid in his writing.

Then Su Budong struck while the iron was hot and drew the image of Yuan Gong.

"Oh, the painter is so good. This character is quite suitable. Who else can you draw?"

Su Budong can draw Yuan Gong and Dansheng. It turns out that the three fairies in the animation always feel silly and silly. They are not good-looking, so he draws another nine-tailed beast nine-Maha, eight-tailed bull ghost, and seven-tailed heavy-daughtered heavy-daughter...

Su Budong didn't give up and wanted to move closer to Naruto... "My name is Dansheng, my dream is to become the egg king!" Dansheng shouted like this, isn't it a sign of feeling?

"The design of Mr. Yuan and Dansheng is pretty good. Why did the vixen go off the wrong way again? Let's design the image of this vixen again." Mr. Sheng always felt that these three tailed beasts were not in line with each other, unlike the Chinese style.

Because Mr. Wan had given full autonomy, Su Budong didn't know what he wanted to shoot. However, Mr. Sheng, Su Budong joined the discussion from time to time, sometimes he could say it on the point, and sometimes Mr. Sheng interrupted him in anger and said that his thoughts were too nonsense.

After the discussion was over, Mr. Wan found Mr. Sheng and said with a smile: "Xiao Su is spiritual. If I could calm down and do animation for a few years, I would have a successor."

"You have so many apprentices, you're not alone in Xiao Su."

"It's different. Those people are too craftsmanship, which is not bad. They always feel that they lack spirituality. Animation is not long without responsibility, and painting without spirituality cannot move people."

"Why, I'm thinking about accepting apprentices again?" Mr. Sheng asked.

"What do you think?"

"This kid is interesting, but he is a big boss. Can he concentrate on learning animation from you?"

"So I'm a little worried, I can't hide my love for this kid, but I can't learn this thing without hard work."

"You, don't worry about this. He really has this intention. If you don't speak, you will come to ask for advice." Mr. Sheng said.

"That's true." Mr. Wan put aside this matter and won't mention it for the time being.

………………………………………

After the matter in the Shanghai Stock Exchange was handled, Su Budong took the company's people to rent an office location near Mr. Wan and his friends, which was about 400 square meters. Then he took the company's people to Pudong to see if there was a more suitable place.

In the end, they really asked them to find an old factory in Jing'an. Su Budong told the staff that it would cost to buy it to see how much it would cost. It would take it for only about 2 million yuan and take it away without nonsense. After explaining the matter, he took the train of the day back to Beijing again.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Lin Muyu told him with a bunch of things: "There is an advertising fee that needs to be transferred here, a total of 300,000 yuan. After you confirm, the people will get the money. Is the "Journey to the West" you said really so popular?"

It’s not that Lin Muyu is making a fuss. According to her investment vision, she always feels that a TV series cannot be so popular.

"I know this drama because their crew is engaged in art, not for money, not for fame, and not for profit. Their starring roles are 80 yuan a month, 90 yuan, and 15 yuan a month, and none of them have ever called hardship. They have only filmed more than ten TV series in 6 years, and the lowest-level staff is only 30 yuan. They are like us, working hard and creating with their hard work, so the things they shoot are sold for accounts. Do you think this thing is not popular?"

Lin Muyu said stubbornly: "But I still think the money you invested is not easy to make back."
