Han Lan made a special trip to the Black Dragon Special Effects Company this time not only for inspection, but also with people from Tomahawk Animation. They came with a big project this time.

Since the success of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Han Lan has also begun to realize his idea. On the one hand, he sells various peripherals and various licenses; on the other hand, he also needs to increase the output of highly popular IPs.

It's hard to do this in movies, but it's much easier in animation.

It is easy to see various animation peripherals, but there are relatively few real-life movie peripherals. Especially when it comes to toys, animation is basically the main product.

After acquiring three animation studios to form Tomahawk Animation, Han Lan discovered a comic in their copyright library that was being serialized online. Its popularity and sales volume were barely adequate, ranking just outside the 50th place. It was profitable but not very profitable.

.When I received a request from the head office for animation adaptation, I submitted it together.

The name of the comic is "Panda Heroes", and the settings in it are all kinds of animals. The protagonist is a panda, and it also tells the story of it learning kung fu and determined to become a martial arts master.

This is simply a breath of fresh air in the current comic market. The popular comics on the market are either beautiful girls or passionate. Even if they are not good at being pretty, they are good. At least the protagonist must be human. And there is only one person in this kind of comics.

It doesn't have any of them, it's basically not popular, it doesn't have that sense of substitution, and it looks like it's for young children.

This comic became popular mainly because it caught up with the previous craze of Tomahawk Pictures' Huo Yuanjia and Huo Daxia. Moreover, the plot setting and the jokes were well arranged. As a result, it accumulated a lot of fans and became popular among fans.

Tomahawk Animation is recommended for qualifications for animation adaptation.

Among a large pile of works, Han Lan fell in love with it at first sight, and even repeatedly emphasized that this work would be popular when the project was approved.

As a result, the animated film project of "Panda Heroes" was approved, with an investment of 800 million.

The investment of 800 million has once again refreshed the investment limit for domestic films. Even Tomahawk Pictures' own film has seen such a huge investment for the first time.

But there is no way. Animation is a costly project, especially 3D animation, which is equivalent to the entire movie being special effects. Every frame costs money like crazy, so the cost is naturally higher than that of traditional movies.

After Zhuo Wenyu learned the news, he beat his chest and stamped his feet in the office!

For an 800 million animated film, the final production process must be handed over to Black Dragon. This project is estimated to have a quotation of 600 million! With these 600 million in the account, Black Dragon Special Effects Company will be able to survive directly.

!Why do you still need to rely on financing to continue your life?

Zhuo Wenyu even doubted whether the Tomahawk Group deliberately hid it until they could no longer hold on and accepted financing before releasing the film.

Of course, it’s just a thought, and I definitely don’t regret it.

The final decision of who will produce this movie is still in the hands of Tomahawk Pictures. If the Black Dragon special effects team does not accept the financing from Tomahawk Group, they may not be able to get this big project by then.

Moreover, this movie is still in the preparation stage, and it will take a long time for the movie to actually start funding production. If Black Dragon Special Effects Company does not have financing, it is estimated that it will not be able to survive by that time.

The main purpose of coming here this time is to briefly inform them and let them arrange the work at hand. Don't look back and wait for the movie project to come down. They are still busy with other big projects and cannot free up manpower and resources.

Zhuo Wenyu naturally attaches great importance to this and said that he will personally be responsible for the visual effects of the film.

After the three parties of Tomahawk Pictures, Tomahawk Animation and the Black Dragon special effects team initially communicated and got to know each other in the conference room, the film and television adaptation of "Panda Heroes" officially began!

…

…

After settling the affairs of "The Panda Heroes", Han Lan rushed back to Shanghai to continue filming. It was not until the end of May that his part in the movie was completed.

At this time, the foundry has been finalized and is ready to be put into production at any time, and the first peripheral product of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has officially started pre-sale.

There are mainly three puppets: Nie Xiaoqian, Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia. The prices are 599 and 499 respectively. Nie Xiaoqian is 599, and the other two are 499. If you pay a deposit for the reservation, there is an event of 10 yuan to get 50 yuan.

As soon as the pricing came out, fans were very happy:

"Xiaoqian really has a good reputation. She is also the protagonist, but she is more expensive than others!"

"I don't need to say more about who makes the decision in this family, right?"

"Bah! Is our Xiaoqian only worth the price difference of 100 yuan?"

"Buy Yan Chixia's blood and make money! For such a big piece, the price is cheaper than Nie Xiaoqian's! Place the order, place the order!"

As a result, Nie Xiaoqian's bookings were still far ahead, even more than the other two combined.

Of course, the most booked version is the three-person set version priced at 1,299. Many fans actually wanted to get the CP version of Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen, but after calculation, they found that they could get three of them by adding more than 200 yuan, and the package

The deposit was 50 yuan worth 200 yuan, so I placed the order as soon as I gritted my teeth.

However, many overseas fans, especially fans in JP country, became angry after watching it. They went to Tomahawk Pictures’ Blue Pigeon account to leave messages to protest. Why is it that only China has pre-sales?

Tomahawk Pictures thought about it and quickly sent a reply, stating that Tomahawk Entertainment’s official stores on China’s two major e-commerce platforms serve global customers, and orders can also be placed overseas!

Moreover, a tutorial on how to use the Huaguo e-commerce platform overseas is also attached.

In fact, it is nothing more than downloading an additional software and registering an account. You can also use overseas cards as bank cards. The two major e-commerce platforms have business overseas, and express delivery can also be delivered, but it will cost extra.

These are obviously not a problem for fans who have money and want to buy them for collection. They follow the tutorials and start trying Huaguo online shopping.

The two major e-commerce platforms have actually been working hard to expand overseas markets, so overseas services are still good, especially in developed areas. There will be no lag or inaccessibility. Basically, the experience is similar to that in China, except that

Some stores do not offer free shipping overseas.

Thanks to such a move by Tomahawk Pictures, the two major e-commerce platforms have inexplicably gained many more overseas users.

But Tomahawk Pictures is not a charity, and there is a reason for playing this way. Immediately after the pre-sale of the puppets of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was launched, the two major e-commerce platforms also issued announcements, announcing that Xia Xia and Xuan Ji respectively became

Their brand ambassador.
