Chapter 299 I'll Give You Money, Just Spend It!
Chen Xi is no stranger to these two cartoons, especially "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", which is simply a cartoon full of YY spirit...

Of course, this is not talking about the content of the animation. Although the content of the animation does have a hint of YY, what Chen Xi means is that the situation encountered in this movie is indeed too YY.

From less than 10% of the film lineup at the beginning to the highest 30% of the film lineup, the single-day box office was affected by the amount of film lineup at the beginning, and then it even hit 6000 million box office in a single day... and then In the end, it broke all domestic animation film release records and ended with a terrifying box office of 9.5 million.

Regardless of whether such a movie is wonderful or not, what happens after it is released is extremely exciting.

Therefore, Chen Xi was also deeply impressed by this film.

In fact, to be honest, this film is indeed quite good in terms of technical means and many other aspects, and it is the direction of the advanced production capacity of domestic cartoons.
From this point of view, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" does have quite good things, and all the achievements obtained after that can actually be regarded as blacksmithing and relying on one's own strength.

However, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" also left regrets at the end due to insufficient funds. When the Great Sage was the most handsome, it ended abruptly.In fact, for many people, this paragraph makes people feel unfinished, and they will feel a little regretful after watching it.

And even the funding for such an ending was only obtained after the production team begged their grandpa to sue their grandma.

Cartoons still cost a lot of money, and the film itself has very high requirements, and even drove many people away... Therefore, the funding of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is also extremely terrifying.

Now Chen Xi and the others have received a lot of funding requests for cartoons, but what Chen Xi is really interested in is actually a few limited films.

"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" and "Quiba" are one of them. In fact, the movie "Quiba" is quite remarkable in terms of worldview conception. Japan's attention, it is conceivable that the expressiveness of this movie is really good, but the problem is that the rhythm of the movie "Quiba" is too slow, too slow, and the amount of information shown in one episode is too little , even when it comes to "War in Yuan Yujie", which is so cool and famous, it is still a small pattern. The screenwriter seems to be worried that the plot will advance too fast or something, so he keeps pressing the progress of the plot.

The total box office of the third film in later generations was only over 2000 million. There was no way to continue filming. Fortunately, "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" made the Chinese animation industry seem to usher in a spring, so this project was restarted... …But from Chen Xi’s point of view, this movie is very problematic. The slow pace is actually okay, but there are big problems in publicity. It may be that there is no money. Anyway, the third part of this movie will be released. At that time, many people thought that the film was delayed or something because they didn't see the promotion...

In addition, many cartoons take the route of accumulating popularity on TV and then cashing out the IP value on the big screen. "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Bear Infested" are all like this. "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" is after all Because Journey to the West is originally a super big IP in China, there is no such problem of accumulating popularity, but in the completely unfamiliar worldview of "Quiba", it is too unrealistic to show it in several movies.

So Chen Xi had to give some guidance.

After Chen Xi considered for a period of time, he decided to intervene in "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage". In terms of funds, Deep Space Film and Television can invest 5000 million yuan, which will also allow those who wanted to withdraw from this movie investment before. Anyone can exit successfully.

In this way, for the main creative team of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", the appearance of Chen Xi really surprised them, and gave them some good things that they had never imagined before-the 5000 million funds Once infused, it's a real boost to the entire brink of extinction, and a lot of the next money will be there.

What Chen Xi brings them now is a kind of experience of giving charcoal in the snow, and not only giving charcoal in the snow, but also giving them a house that can shelter from the wind and rain. In this regard, what Chen Xi brings to them is indeed far beyond these people's expectations.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" The main creators of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" only kept saying this to Chen Xi. I feel a kind of relief, after all, seeing people who make movies with heart, as the same kind of people who like movies, he will certainly be happier in his heart, at least it is better than those who always only want to use movies to make money. How many.

Chen Xi smiled at them and said: "As long as you can contribute the best "The Return of the Great Sage", to me, this is the best thank you! I will not interfere with the plot content of the movie, but I hope You spend every penny in the most suitable place and give a complete ending. What I hope is that you will not be disturbed by funds and concentrate on making movies. As long as the funds are really used for movies, don’t worry. I'll take it out here."

Hearing such words, these people are really grateful to die for their confidants.

However, in fact, Chen Xi dared to make such a promise because she knew the true standard of the movie "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", not to mention, it was impossible for Chen Xi to just tell him to be a shopkeeper like this , He still has to test many things, and he cannot let these people give up their original intentions because of the entry of funds.

Many Chinese filmmakers are really easy to produce good works when they are poor and have problems in all directions. In the end, when they are successful and famous, when there are too many people waiting to give you money, they will lose their way and fall into a kind of In a strange narcissism, turn to shoot a bunch of disgusting things.

Chen Kaige is like this, Lu Bao is like this, even Jiang Wen after "Let the Bullets Fly" is like this... The ones who can really hold on may be Feng Xiaogang, Ning Hao, Guan Hu, etc. Zhang Yimou is actually quite capable. Hold on, but Zhang Guoshi was born in photography after all, and he is inherently deficient in film narratives and the like.

So Chen Xi is worried that they will have problems in some places because of the money...

As for Kuiba, Chen Xi's conditions are far from being so generous, and there are some supervision measures, but in any case, this can be regarded as good governance. Two cartoons that were on the verge of death were supported by Chen Xi.
