My singer girlfriend is super fierce

After receiving the script of "The Return of the Great Sage", Huang Shiguang's eyes never left the paper in front of him during the flight from Tokyo to Huahai.

Huang Shiguang himself is a loyal fan of the Monkey King. Perhaps young people today cannot understand this, but for the group of people born in the 1980s, the programs they could watch on TV when they were young were not as varied as they are now. What they looked forward to most after school every day was to watch the mythical "Journey to the West".

In that era, countless little boys were excited by the phrase "I am here, Sun Wukong", ran all over the village to find a "golden hoop" that they were satisfied with, and imitated Sun Wukong waving it randomly...

Therefore, this script touched Huang Shiguang very much, especially Ye Zhiqiu's script was written very professionally and in detail. For Huang Shiguang, who has rich experience in animation production, many magnificent scenes can already be associated in his mind.

When he saw the Monkey King break free from his restraints and put on the flaming golden armor, Huang Shiguang was so excited that his breathing became heavier and his expression was excited.

He thought this script was good!

Even in his heart, the passionate style of "The Return of the Great Sage" is more to his liking than the completed "Big Fish and Begonia".

Huang Shiguang spent nearly two hours reading the script for the first time, and then started reading it for the second time. He was immersed in the story just now. There were several puzzled points. If Ye Zhiqiu had not been sitting in the business class, he would have wanted to pull him over to discuss it face to face.

When the plane landed, Huang Shiguang immediately found Ye Zhiqiu and the first sentence he said was.

"What is the budget for this film?"

Ye Zhiqiu wanted to take over the large suitcase pushed by Yu Caiwei beside him, but was rejected by the other party. He directly replied to Huang Shiguang's question: "According to the highest standard."

Ye Zhiqiu answered straightforwardly, but Huang Shiguang was not overwhelmed and said: "The fighting scenes of this work are the biggest highlight. If you want to do it well, the budget will not be low."

"My preliminary estimate is that the production cost is about 80 million, or on the premise that we have the experience of "Big Fish and Begonia", plus the publicity and distribution costs, this part is hard to say, but the entire film production cost is about 80 million. The production cost must have exceeded 100 million. "

"By then, we need at least 300 million box office to make back the investment..."

"100 million." Ye Zhiqiu smacked his lips, thought for 0.5 seconds, and continued: "No problem, let's do it."

Huang Shiguang breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled bitterly: "Your words have made me more stressed."

"I found that the studio's projects are now in units of '100 million'. I really didn't dream of it before."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Brother Guang, the studio's money is not wasted , I am confident in the works produced by "Shiguangzhiqiu". "

"Don't forget, we just won the award, be more domineering."

"It's because money doesn't come easily." Huang Shiguang complained, and then said: "Although the studio's cash flow is still sufficient, it can't withstand such a super-large project. Losing one movie is almost like going back to the pre-liberation era overnight."

"The key is that "Big Fish and Begonia" has not been released yet. Although the promotional video has received a good response, to be honest, I really don't know what to do after the previous failure. The domestic animation film market is sometimes really It's quite fascinating. "

Huang Shiguang pondered for a moment and said, "To be conservative, let's go back and form a small team to do the preliminary work for "The Return of the Great Sage" first, and don't roll it out on a large scale yet."

"If the box office of "Big Fish and Begonia" is really not right, this project can also be re-evaluated. I don't want you to have to get blood transfusions from outside when the studio goes bankrupt."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded in agreement with Huang Shiguang's proposal. In "Autumn of Light", he is the "boss + screenwriter + mascot". Huang Shiguang has always been responsible for the specific matters, and he is also very relieved.

From this perspective, Huang Shiguang is the core figure of "Autumn of Light". You know, animation ultimately presents pictures. Even if the script is excellent, it cannot be produced without excellent technology and team.

After determining the general direction, the experienced Huang Shiguang immediately began to consider the details behind.

"I will make the first draft of the main character illustrations when I go back these few days. Please take a look and give me some suggestions."

"Also, this work is mainly adapted from ancient classics. Although the copyright protection period of "Journey to the West" has passed 50 years, the copyright has been completely released, so there will be no problems in this regard."

"But after all, it is a well-known classic, and the image of the Monkey King in "The Return of the Great Sage" is very different from the traditional image in TV dramas. This issue also needs to be considered. Can the reviewer accept such a degree of character creation and adaptation?"

"This matterIt should be determined as soon as possible. I will have dinner with Lian Ming, the team leader who often reviews our studio's works, and ask him to help check it in advance..."

Several people pushed their suitcases out. Huang Shiguang talked a lot along the way. Suddenly he remembered something and said, "By the way, according to the script, there are several clips that need to use the music in the 1986 version of the TV series "Journey to the West". We need to obtain authorization from the copyright owner."

"The name of the composer of the music... I can't remember it for the time being. I have to check it. According to his age, he is probably retired now. It would be better for you to come forward in the music aspect."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded. At this time, Yu Caiwei on the side spoke up and said, "Teacher Li Haicheng."

"Hmm?" Ye Zhiqiu turned his gaze to Yu Caiwei who was walking beside him and asked, "The author of the music of "Journey to the West", Weiwei, do you know him?"

Yu Caiwei shook her head and said softly, "I don't know him, but my grandfather knows him. My grandfather has worked with Teacher Li Haicheng before. "

"That's great!" Huang Shiguang was extremely excited and said, "It will be much easier if you have connections."

Professor Liu Minkang? Ye Zhiqiu nodded, remembered it in his heart, and prepared to go back to Huahai University of Media and Communications to visit him.

Speaking of which, after he entered Liu Minkang's graduate school, he flew all over China at first, and then all over the world, and he didn't have many classes at all.

In September this year, the school opened the door for him to graduate smoothly.

However, as a graduate student majoring in classical music, Ye Zhiqiu got this graduation certificate legitimately and without any controversy.

——The graduation work recommended by Liu Minkang for him was the piano piece "Leaving the Western Regions".

During the chat, the group soon arrived at the exit hall.

Unlike some stars who deliberately revealed their itineraries for some hype purposes, Ye Zhiqiu Qiu's schedule has always been kept secret, so there were no fans waiting to pick him up at the airport.

But as one of the airports with the largest passenger flow in China, there are always entertainment reporters stationed at Huahai International Airport on weekdays to see if they can bump into a popular star.

Although Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei both wore baseball caps and low-key casual clothes, their appearance and temperament were outstanding, so how could they escape the radar-like eyes of entertainment reporters.

After discovering the identities of Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei, more than a dozen entertainment reporters surrounded them from all directions.

Moreover, this time, the reporters' green eyes were like wolves seeing meat, and their expressions were particularly excited.
