Chapter 124: Clever Little Clay Figurine
Hearing Sister Meili say this, Lu Man sat down on the bed, looked at Sister Meili with her pretty face, and asked, "Aren't they all investments in film and television projects? I feel there is no difference."
Sister Meili smiled bitterly and said, "There is a huge difference."
“The first is cost.”
"If you bring money with you, you only need to invest a quarter to a half of the money to get the leading role in a movie or a TV series."
"Even if you meet a crew that is optimistic about you, one-fifth is more than enough."
"But if we do a film and television project ourselves now, we will need to pay for it all ourselves. After all... you can't get investment in your current situation."
"As a result, the film and television projects invested by Chen Yan will be greatly reduced."
"Originally, 300 million yuan could be invested in 30 projects. Now, maybe only around 10 can be invested."
"You know, film and television projects are very risky. If you cast a wide net and focus on the catch, you might be able to come up with one or two hits. But with so few hits, it's hard to say..."
Lu Man pouted and listened to what Sister Meili said, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a moment, she asked, "What about other reasons?"
Beautiful sister said,
"The second is the difficulty and complexity of operating funds."
"If you bring money into the team, Chen Yan will only provide financial support. Apart sending a trustworthy financial officer, you don't need to worry about anything else."
"But now we have formed our own crew, and someone has to be responsible for all aspects of the personnel, publicity, and filming."
"Even if we are willing to help him share his worries, he... may not trust us."
Lu Man asked curiously, "What is this?"
Sister Meili took a sip of water and said, "Because film and television projects are the easiest to fake."
"The price of a prop can range from a few hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan. But their functions are similar."
"The difference can easily become gray income for the crew or the people involved."
"Do you think, if it were you, would you be confident in handing all of this over to us?"
At this point, she coughed and whispered, "Besides, our power is too great."
"You are the heroine. I formed the crew. The entire project is completely in our hands."
"If we want, we can just go through his 300 million and launder 200 million. It won't be a big problem."
Lu Man opened his mouth in surprise and said, "This is too disloyal!"
Sister Meili said, "I am just giving an example of the seriousness of this matter."
Lu Man said, "I just want to be a superstar. I don't want to make that much money."
Sister Meili repeated again, "I'm really just giving examples."
Lu Man glanced at Sister Meili with a look of suspicion.
Beautiful sister: ...
Sister Meili decided to ignore this funny guy.
This idiot is totally incapable of listening...
She changed the subject directly, "So, tonight, let's have dinner with Chen Yan and talk about this matter."
She said, "You better behave yourself and don't cause any trouble."
"I'll have a good chat with him and try to get his support."
After saying that, she clasped her hands together and prayed, "I hope... everything goes well. This is the last way to break through the blockade..."
…
At the same time, Chen Yan and Yu Qiaoqiao returned to the company and came to the clay sculpture room.
Yu Qiaoqiao was a bit busy in the past two days and had not yet come to her own clay sculpture room to model clay.
This was her first time here, and she immediately felt like she was back "home"...
This kind of house that belongs to her alone is really rare for her who has lived with her younger sisters since she was a child.
After looking around the clay sculpture room twice, Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Chen Yan and asked obediently, "Chen Yan, what do you need me to do?"
Chen Yan took out a notebook and a pen from somewhere.
Then he held up a notebook and a pen and said to Yu Qiaoqiao, "Just make your clay figures normally. I'll watch from the side to see if I can trigger any inspiration."
Although she didn't understand the relationship between making clay figures and the game, Yu Qiaoqiao still listened to Chen Yan and started doing her own thing.
She first checked the things in the room.
The stuff is very complete.
Before this, Chen Yan considerately bought clay powder, pottery clay, and even colored clay.
Yu Qiaoqiao first took a small basin, poured some soft mud powder into it, then added some water and started to mix the mud.
After kneading for a while, when the powder gradually turned into mud, Yu Qiaoqiao came to the table holding the basin.
A small tablecloth was spread on the table. Yu Qiaoqiao poured out the mud and began to knead it on the table.
Chen Yan moved a chair and sat aside, staring blankly at Yu Qiaoqiao making clay figures.
Yu Qiaoqiao is obviously a clever and skillful person.
In her hands, it was clearly just a lump of soft mud, but after kneading it, it became round little clay figures.
Maybe she still wanted to make a blue fat man, so the unfinished clay figures were all in cartoon shapes.
But because the face has not been pinched yet, the little clay figure looks like a small cylinder with hands and feet.
Chen Yan looked at the tiny clay figures and his eyes lit up slightly. He picked up a pen and wrote and drew on the notebook for a while, then stood up and walked to the table.
Yu Qiaoqiao was originally concentrating on making clay figures when she suddenly saw Chen Yan coming towards her. She came to her senses, raised her head to look at Chen Yan, wanting to ask if she had done anything wrong.
But Chen Yan just put his index finger to his mouth, signaling her not to speak.
Yu Qiaoqiao shut her mouth obediently.
Then she saw Chen Yan walk to the table, pick up a small clay figurine and pinch it twice.
Just when Yu Qiaoqiao didn't know what Chen Yan was doing.
Chen Yan picked up the pen, drew quickly on the paper, and said, "Can you make it like this?"
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at the pictures on Chen Yan's notebook.
The overall appearance is almost the same as her current semi-finished appearance, but the body is rounder and the head is connected to the body, which looks very cute.
Yu Qiaoqiao made an "OK" gesture and said, "No problem."
After saying that, she checked the book and quickly modified her own clay figurine.
Soon, a clay figure that met Chen Yan's requirements appeared in front of Chen Yan.
Chen Yan held the clay figurine and looked at it for a long time with delight, "It's pretty good! We can consider this as a character for our next game."
Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Chen Yan in surprise, "Ah? The character for the next game? The little clay figurine?"
Chen Yan smiled and said, "No? I think it's pretty cute."
Yu Qiaoqiao asked, "But...will there be players who like them?"
Chen Yan patted Yu Qiaoqiao on the shoulder and said, "It depends on you. See if you can design more cute little clay figurines."
"We will be able to have a costume and skin function, and players can choose the clay figurine they like."
" As long as you make them cute enough, they won't fall for you."
Yu Qiaoqiao opened her mouth wider and wider, "Isn't this... too careless? I'm under too much pressure... I... I'm just a temporary worker."
Chen Yan smiled and said, "Although you are a temporary worker, you are the most important member of our company!"
He said, "And, while I was watching you make these little clay figures, I even thought of how to play with them."
"I plan to have these little clay figures participate in various competitions, sports, and levels together."
At this point, Chen Yan's eyes lit up and he said, "We can make a large interactive level-breaking game!"
"I've even thought of a name!"
"It's called 'The Ultimate Clay Knockout Tournament'!"
Looking at Chen Yan's eyes shining with confidence, Yu Qiaoqiao gradually became a little dazed.
That was the feeling at the beginning...
