Chapter 462 Dog Director's Most Expensive Toy?
Time flies by.

At the end of December, "WALL-E" officially announced the completion of production!
Li Yi has seen the finished film. Although it is still a little different from the original work in his memory, it is enough to satisfy him.

Animated movies are different from live-action movies.

Even if Li Yi has a complete picture of the whole movie in his mind, it is not so easy to reproduce it.

"Robot Wall-E" used more than [-] people before and after the whole film!
Cost nearly 1.5 million US dollars!
Equivalent to nearly 10 billion Chinese currency!
Such a cost, even Zhang Haiyang couldn't help but click his tongue.

Not to mention the outside world.

This is already because of Li Yi's BUG-like plug-in, which completely took out the context of the entire movie in advance.

Even the characters were designed directly, coupled with the huge cost of manpower and material resources, it was finally possible to complete this animated film in more than a year!

If the cost of a live-action movie is 10 billion, it needs at least three times the box office to recover the cost.

Animated movies do not need so much, because although animated movies have a longer production cycle and often consume more manpower and material resources, but also, once an animated movie is successful, the profits beyond the box office are not comparable to live-action movies. .

However, Zhang Haiyang and others are still under great pressure.

No one else, because in the domestic film market, the highest box office of an animated film is less than 10 billion!This still includes Hollywood animated films.

Therefore, even if "Robot Wall-E" is produced, it can definitely be regarded as the highest level of domestic animation, but Zhang Haiyang and other main creators of this animation film, except Li Yi, still have great pressure.

Unless "Robot Wall-E" breaks the current box office record of domestic animated films, or has a good performance overseas, otherwise, it will definitely be a big pit!
The investment of 10 billion Chinese currency is definitely a huge investment for any individual or company.

"Robot Wall-E" is basically funded by Li Yi and Xingman.

Because even Fanhai Film and Television did not understand that Li Yi wanted to make a domestic 3D animation film.

So naturally it is impossible to spend too much money to invest.

In fact, many people think that Li Yi spent a lot of money to produce domestic animation films, but his heart is still too big.

Or what's more, he directly said that Li Yi was burning too much money.

In fact, it is not to blame that the outside world is not optimistic, mainly because Li Yi is a good director, yes, but animated movies are not like live-action movies, you just need to tell a good story.

It has never been difficult for animated films to really kill the Quartet only by creativity or stories.

And everyone's impression of Li Yi and Xingman is still on the top of "Things About That Rabbit That Year" and "Replacing the Battery".

In the eyes of many people, "Things About That Rabbit That Year" was entirely due to the light of the subject matter.

In terms of animation production quality, it's actually not that outstanding.

Although "Replacing the Battery" won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film, in the eyes of many people, it is actually the same to replace such a short film with a real person.

In terms of the screen production, "Replacing the Battery" can only be said to be average.

The production of 3D animation films is not only difficult in the selection of story materials, but also in the technical and marketing aspects.

What kind of animated film are you making?
Younger?Or adult?All ages?
Obviously commercially speaking, animated movies that are suitable for all ages are the best.

But the question is, where is it so easy?

As for the domestically produced animated films, so far, people still have the impression that they are movies for children!
It is really difficult to change this concept, at least for now, no domestic animation film has done it!

So when the news of the 10D animation film produced by Li Yi invested 3 billion yuan came out, the reaction of movie fans and netizens was as follows:
"Oh my God, the dog director is really rich and willful! Touch your head, the failure of the animated film is not a failure!"

"By the way, I don't have a baby yet, otherwise I would definitely bring my baby to support me!"

"One billion! Is Director Dog inflated? Don't you know the difference between live-action movies and animated movies?"

"Although I like the movies directed by Dog, but for animation, well, maybe I will bring my baby to join me!"

"Animated movies, it seems that there is no one in the history of domestic movies that breaks 10 billion? 10 billion investment, how to recover the cost?"

"You can make a live-action movie as you like, but you have to find someone to make an animated movie, and the name "Wall-E" sounds a bit...hey!"

Even Li Yi's fans don't like him, let alone passers-by.

As for the media, when "Replacing the Battery" won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film earlier, they almost touted Li Yi as a symbol of the rise of Huaguo animation.

But at this moment, their report is like this:

"What is Li Yi's confidence in investing 10 billion in animation films produced nationwide?"

"Li Yi's new movie, the domestic animation film "Robot Wall-E", is it the biggest Waterloo? Or is it a new miracle?"

"Li Yi's ambitious animated film "Robot Wall-E", once it fails, the investment of 10 billion may become the last straw that overwhelms Huaguo's animated film!"

"Whether he is rich or self-willed, or has a plan in his mind, Li Yi spent a huge sum of 10 billion to create the animated film "Robot Wall-E" or become the most expensive toy!"

Although they did not directly say that "Wall-E" is destined to hit the street, but look at how they reported Li Yi's movie earlier, this time they used "Where is the confidence?" "Waterloo" "The last straw" " The most expensive toy" or something like that.

Obviously, Li Yi's animation film is also extremely pessimistic!
As we all know, short films and feature films are completely different things.

The difficulty of making short films is the same as that of making feature films.

Not only the media, but even the people around Li Yi are not so optimistic about this movie.

Is the story of "Robot Wall-E" simple?It's really easy!
But the problem is that the story of an animated movie is simple, so what about the picture?
For the same story, live-action interpretation and animation presentation are completely different things.

And even in Hollywood, there are very few live-action film directors who cross-border as animation film directors.

Therefore, even Li Yi's achievements in live-action movies, especially in commercial box office, can be said to be the number one person in China.

However, it is still difficult for him to be confident when he turns to making animated films.

But Li Yi doesn't care at all, don't look at the doubts now, don't have confidence in him, wait for the jokes and so on.

However, this is also an exposure in itself.

This alone is already higher than the starting point of most movies!
After all, this publicity has not officially started yet, and everyone is "criticizing" so enthusiastically!
