This Star Wants To Retire

He Yuanguang and Luo Mo have cooperated so many times, and Luo Mo is already one of the major shareholders of Tong Guang Studio.

He knew that Luo Mo had a lot of ideas and ideas.

Therefore, no matter what big anime movie Luo Mo said he would like to do, he shouldn't be as excited as he is now.

But there is no way, this is the theme of Journey to the West after all.

Chinese people usually have different plots for Monkey King, especially for anime people like them.

What's more...don't forget that his teacher is Huang Lun!

It is the character who made the animation of the Blue Star version of "Journey to the West"!

You know, his 91 version of "Journey to the West" animation, its popularity and influence are not lower than the version on Earth!

Luo Mo looked at He Yuanguang who didn't even eat lobster, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's the theme of Journey to the West."

"Have you already thought about the content of the story?" He Yuanguang asked.

"Think it over, to be precise, it's already written." Luo Mo continued to pick cucumbers in the lobster soup.

"Then you won't send me!?" He Yuanguang was furious.

"Isn't it too busy recently? Even if I send you, this project can't start, so it's more uncomfortable for you?" Luo Mo felt that he was really considerate.

"Send me quickly." He Yuanguang said eagerly.

"Look, I knew you would die in a hurry." Luo Mo spread his hands helplessly.

He looked at He Yuanguang and said, "It's too late today, so I won't post it to you. It won't save you from going to bed after reading a bit, and dragging me to discuss it."

"Aren't you going back to Shanghai tomorrow? I'll send it to you after you leave. Watch it on your way back." Luo Mo said with a smile.

"But if you do this, I will definitely lose sleep tonight." He Yuanguang became even more angry.

"It's better for you to suffer from insomnia alone than to drag me along with you." Luo Mo was extremely ruthless.

In the past, when every project was just started, He Yuanguang had to chat with him for at least four hours, which was too torturous.

The most incomprehensible thing is that Luo Mo himself is also the kind who gets more and more excited when he chats.

As he chatted, his interest picked up.

So, sometimes He Yuanguang didn't let him go at the beginning, and in the end he didn't let He Yuanguang go.

Uncle Guang always begs for mercy at the end: "The livers of our anime characters are very fragile."

At this time, Luo Mo refused to give the script, and He Yuanguang had no choice.

He had no choice but to say: "Then you must at least tell me, what is the budget for this big anime movie?"

"Also, what's the title of the film."

Luo Mo looked at him, did not say the specific investment figure, but just raised his hand and compared him with the number 9.

Looking at this number, He Yuanguang couldn't help but start to beat faster again.

After all, the times are different. If this means 9 million, it is definitely not enough to make a so-called big animation movie.

Then, it can only represent........

"Nine... nine digits?" Uncle Guang asked.

Luo Mo nodded.

One hundred million is not considered a small investment in any type of movie in China.

And if it is an anime movie, it is unprecedented!

"Do you know what others will say about you if your number is spread?" He Yuanguang breathed heavily.

"What do you mean by me? How can you scold me." Luo Mo smiled and said, "It is estimated that many people will think that I am a big fool."

You know, so far, the box office record of China's domestic animation movies is only more than 100 million!

Their total box office is only more than 100 million. Although there will be large and small copyright benefits in the future, it will definitely not be able to make up for the 100 million production cost!

According to Blue Star's accounting system, if the box office does not have 300 million yuan, basically it is impossible to recover the cost of 100 million yuan directly from the box office.

"Let's discuss this project again." Even He Yuanguang had the idea of ​​persuading Luo Mo.

This kind of behavior can no longer be described as crazy, it is really crazy!

Luo Mo didn't follow his lead, but changed the subject and said, "By the way, Uncle Guang, aren't you curious about the title of the movie?"

He stood up, ready to go back to his hotel room.

Yes, he ate the crayfish in He Yuanguang's room and left the smell in Uncle Guang's room.

"It's called "The Return of the Great Sage"."

………

………

Luo Mo left.

He Yuanguang muttered his name in a daze: "The Great Sage is back?"

From the title, he could guess that this is definitely not an anime film made entirely according to "Journey to the West", and probably just borrowed this theme and world view.

"But...he is willing to invest more than 100 million yuan." He Yuanguang looked up at the ceiling.

For some reason, this animator even thinks that Luo Mo wants to save the animation industry?

Is he trying to create a new era by losing money?

Yes, the current animation industry is in a very embarrassing state.

There are many well-produced and high-grossing animation films abroad.

Even in some countries, animation movies are at the forefront of the national box office list!

All fools understand that big productions and high standards cost money! Money is needed!

However, even if the domestic technology reaches the standard, no one is willing to do this.

Without him, it is because the box office record is there.

There is a voice in the hearts of animation people and investors: "The current box office market of domestic animation movies cannot support a big production at all."

There are many reasons for this.

For example, everyone's inherent impression of big domestic movies, for example, many people are naturally unwilling to spend this money to watch so-called cartoons in theaters, etc.

However, anime people like He Yuanguang know very well that if they keep falling into this vicious circle, it will be over!

This is like the Huaxia of the earth, there is a movie called "Hero".

Although its word-of-mouth polarization is serious, and the box office has not risen against the sky, it has to be admitted that it officially opened the era of blockbuster movies in China!

Before that, no one dared to play like this.

To put it simply, He Yuanguang's mentality is to hope that in the domestic animation industry, there will really be a god who spends money like crazy, to make an attempt, to do something that dares to be the first.

But it's best that this man of God... is not one of us!

If you think about it, you will lose money, and the loss is definitely not as simple as a few million or even 10 million.

He Yuanguang's upper limit is 50 to 60 million.

This is because he is an anime man with dreams, ambitions, and feelings.

If there is more, then he thinks it is purely radical.

Therefore, Uncle Guang naturally suffered from insomnia tonight.

………

………

On the other side, after Luo Mo returned to his room to wash up, he and Xu Chujing exchanged goodnight messages on WeChat, and fell asleep.

He certainly didn't expect that Uncle Guang would regard his philanthropic expert [Earth] teacher as a hero who wanted to "donate" for the animation industry.

Even heroes!

His selection of "The Return of the Great Sage" was the result of careful consideration.

At the same time, after consulting a wave of Blue Star's data, he was quite confident.

Many famous directors and investors often talk about the current situation.

Sometimes, a big hit at the box office of a movie needs the current situation.

The right time, place and people are indispensable.

It is time, and it is fate.

When Luo Mo and He Yuanguang were chatting, it was not for nothing that they said that there should be a well-known anime character.

He can be sure that if he shoots an original anime character now, it will definitely not achieve the effect he wants.

In other words, it may be profitable, but it is estimated that it will not be able to earn as much as expected.

Why do some people always say the phrase "the time is not yet ripe" in a very mysterious way?

Because a lot of time, really need to wait for the time is ripe.

The audience's concept, as well as the general environment of the market... Various factors are there.

You will be very limited.

Just like the great success of "Nezha" on Earth, it achieved such a sky-high box office, thanks to the years before its release, one after another not bad domestic animation movie has laid a solid foundation.

Therefore, the first card Luo Mo played must be "The Return of the Great Sage", preferably "The Return of the Great Sage".

"After all, Monkey King is different."

……..

……..

The next day, He Yuanguang went back to the Demon City.

As he said, he really just came to Luo Mo to ask for a result.

Luo Mo didn't lie to him either, as soon as he left, Luo Mo immediately sent part of "The Return of the Great Sage" to his mailbox.

When we parted, he noticed that Uncle Guang had dark circles under his eyes, and he looked a little tired and haggard, obviously insomnia.

The way he looked at Luo Mo revealed struggle and entanglement.

Luo Mo could probably guess why there was such emotion in his eyes.

Therefore, he sighed in his heart: "Uncle Guang is really an excellent and pure animation man."

After watching He Yuanguang leave in the car, Luo Mo went to the crew.

As soon as he arrived on the set, he received a WeChat message from He Yuanguang.

"I want to ask you something, can I send this script to my teacher?" He Yuanguang asked.

Although Mr. Huang Lun is highly respected, Luo Mo's consent must be obtained for this kind of thing.

"Sure." Luo Mo nodded in agreement.

"Yes." He Yuanguang could feel Luo Mo's trust in him.

Luo Mo was actually quite curious about what Mr. Huang Lun would think after reading the script.

People of the older generation do not necessarily have the same thoughts and ideas.

What's more, he is also the father of "Journey to the West".

He Yuanguang called his teacher in the car.

He first greeted each other on a daily basis, and then began to talk about business.

"Luo Mo?" Huang Lun was slightly taken aback when he heard the name.

"Is that the Luo Mo you worked with?"

"That Luo Mo who made "Things About That Rabbit That Year" and "Five Elements in the Fog Mountain"?" Huang Lun asked.

"Well, that's him." He Yuanguang said.

Obviously, although Huang Lun has retired for many years, he still pays close attention to the domestic animation industry.

He has actually read "The Rabbit" and "Five Elements in the Fog Mountain", and he has finished them all.

This is not just because He Yuanguang is his favorite student.

"Send it quickly." Mr. Huang said.
