Chapter 566 The Youngest Guest Lecturer
“The youngest guest lecturer ever!”
"A cartoonist can become a guest lecturer at Huaqing University's School of Fine Arts! This is a miracle!"
"They are still students at school! And they have received such a high honor!"
“…”
The success of Lu Lanlan, Cui Wenfeng, Zhu Xiaoguo and others also made those cartoonists excited.
You know, before this, these cartoonists were mostly just entertaining themselves.
The academic community simply doesn't take them seriously.
Now Lu Lanlan and the others have set a good example for these cartoonists.
In other words, as long as they work hard and achieve results.
It can be recognized by the academic community.
For a moment, those cartoonists felt that their health bars had increased by at least 30 percent.
…
At this moment, after sending Su Chen back, Lu Lanlan, Li Danjuan, Cui Wenfeng, and Zhu Xiaoguo immediately entered carnival mode.
The achievements they have made now are something they never dared to imagine before.
"One book makes one a god!"
Then, he immediately became a guest lecturer at the School of Fine Arts of Huaqing University!
It can be said that he has gained both fame and fortune!
They knew that from now on, their lives would be completely different.
How can we not celebrate such a happy event with great fanfare!
Of course they all know it very well.
Everything they gained today was thanks to Brother Chen.
If it weren't for Brother Chen's support, they might never have achieved such great success in their entire lives.
Just when the outside world was bustling.
Su Chen had already retreated into his room, hiding his achievements and fame.
Have fun playing games.
Two days later.
Su Chen finally came out of his lazy state.
Yes, Su Chen felt that it was time for him to take the next step.
During these two days on Xianyu, Su Chen also decided that his next step would be to release the "Boonie Bears" movie.
Whether it is from the perspective of expanding the "Boonie Bears" IP.
It is also good to start from the perspective of promoting domestic animated films.
Su Chen felt that it was time for him to take on new challenges.
You know, the animated films of this time and space are still at the technical level of "Huluwa".
Domestic animated films are like a desert.
It's time to change all that.
"Which one should I choose?"
However, Su Chen, who was sitting in the office, was still thinking about it.
Because, in another time and space, there were many "Boonie Bears" movies that were box office hits.
"From weak to strong, step by step, are we going to bring out all the big movies of Boonie Bears?"
"Or should we just go all the way and bring out the highest-grossing movie?"
Su Chen was struggling with this problem.
If you're going by box office, bring out the movie with the lowest box office first.
Su Chen was worried that the box office revenue would be insufficient, which would affect the market reputation of "Boonie Bears".
However, if he brings out the highest-grossing film "After Earth" first, Su Chen is worried that the "Boonie Bears" movie will start high and end low, leaving a not-so-good box office trend.
Snap...
After thinking for a long time, Su Chen slapped his thigh suddenly.
He found himself in a misconception.
Why do I have to use the box office records of another time and space as a reference?
In fact, the "Boonie Bears" movie is very different.
It's not like other movie series that follow the same formula until the end.
Every Boonie Bears movie is seeking innovation.
The story background and even the subject matter are different.
Therefore, a movie that had low box office in the previous life may not necessarily have low box office in this time and space.
Besides, there is also Su Chen's own unique box office appeal.
As long as each Boonie Bears movie can be made with its own characteristics, the box office will definitely not be a problem.
At this time, Su Chen needed a good start to boost the morale of domestic animated films.
Therefore, "Back to Earth", which once set the highest box office record in the "Boonie Bears" series of films, became Su Chen's best choice at this time.
Because "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth", whether it is the storyline, the creation of animation themes, or the innovation of technical level, it is a peak in this series of movies.
If we release this animated film now, the chances of it becoming a box office hit should be the highest.
As for the future, the technical level of future "Boonie Bears" movies will definitely be on par with this one, or even gradually upgraded.
After figuring this out.
Su Chen immediately opened Ward and started working.
"Mr. Zhong, please take a look at this script."
"If there are no problems, the project can be launched."
“…”
Looking at the movie script of "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth" in front of them, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun were a little confused at that moment.
By the way, isn't this guy on vacation?
How come a script came out all of a sudden?
But ok.
The Zhong brothers are very aware of Su Chen's efficiency.
As long as Su Chen is willing, he can prepare a script for you in just an hour.
"Xiaochen, I think you should take a rest for a while."
“Making money is a long-term plan, take your time and don’t rush.”
But Zhong Jun still felt sorry for Su Chen.
It's only been two days since we flew back from the Ugly Country. Are we going to start a new project right away?
Su Chen hasn't really had a rest during this period of time.
What if you work too hard and exhaust yourself?
Zhong Jun doesn't want Su Chen to do something stupid like draining the pond to catch all the fish.
You know, as Su Chen's status in the circle becomes higher and higher, he becomes more and more sacred.
Making money is not difficult at all.
Plan your future schedule well, and making money steadily and long-term is the best way.
So, when he saw Su Chen handing over another script so quickly, Zhong Jun's first reaction was to comfort Su Chen.
Su Chen spread his hands:
"Mr. Zhong, you should read the script first."
Su Chen knows his own situation. If he is really tired, he will definitely take a good rest for a while.
But to be honest, the workload during this period is really nothing to Su Chen.
"All right ."
Seeing Su Chen's serious attitude, Zhong Jun could only compromise.
After all, Su Chen is his God of Wealth, he can only be respected and not offended.
Of course, Zhong Lei knew how to behave in front of Su Chen.
At that moment, he and Zhong Jun leaned over to look at the script of "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth".
Ten minutes later.
"Very good!"
“The story is full of tension!”
“…”
However, when the Zhong brothers closed the script, they immediately discovered a serious problem.
"No! Xiaochen, this is the script of an anime movie, right?"
Yes, when they finished reading the script, they suddenly realized that the protagonist of the story, Xiong Er, was one of the protagonists in the comic "Boonie Bears".
It was only then that they realized that the movie "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth" was actually a movie script based on the characters in the comic book "Boonie Bears"!
Su Chen nodded:
"Yes!"
Well, at this time, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun's faces suddenly darkened.
Because they are very clear about the situation of domestic animated films.
Apart from showing it on Children's Day to attract the children's market, basically, there is no point in doing this kind of movie. Adults basically won't pay for this kind of movie.
Therefore, although this originally very exciting script was put into the animation film market, its financial prospects were not optimistic.
“How much do you plan to invest?”
However, Zhong Jun would not directly reject Su Chen's face.
There is no need to explain how important Su Chen is to Xingyi Media.
Moreover, Zhong Jun was also very clear that during this period of time, Su Chen's passion was focused on comics and animation.
Su Chen has already earned so much money for Xingyi Media. Now is the time for him to enjoy his hobbies. Zhong Jun certainly cannot pour cold water on Su Chen.
Just control the costs.
Su Chen pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said:
"Within 100 million."
Although, Huaqiang Fantawild has now been acquired by itself.
However, animation special effects are very expensive, and Su Chen will not be stingy with the labor expenses.
In some aspects, Su Chen may seem a bit harsh, but he will not deduct or suppress the wages of his employees.
"What!!!"
However, Su Chen's words made Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun scream loudly at the same time.
“Why is the cost so high?”
You know, the cost of Su Chen’s previous movies has always been only 30 to 50 million!
But now, a crappy animated film actually requires an investment of 100 million?
Did Su Chen say something wrong, or did they hear it wrong?
Su Chen explained:
"This is a science fiction anime, which requires a lot of special effects."
"Mr. Zhong, I think you all know very well that special effects are the most expensive!"
“…”
The Zhong brothers, who started their business by investing in movies, are certainly well aware of this.
However, if Su Chen was investing in a science fiction movie, they would support it. However, this time Su Chen was going to shoot a science fiction animated movie.
The money invested will most likely be wasted.
Although Su Chen made a lot of money for them, isn't it the nature of a businessman to pursue profit?
How can you do business at a loss?
Zhong Jun: "Xiao Chen, have you thought it through? Do you really want to make this movie?"
Zhong Lei: "Given the current domestic market environment, animated films are likely to lose money!"
The Zhong brothers felt that Su Chen might have lost his mind at this moment.
Maybe your vision has been blurred by the recent series of highlights and glories?
Su Chen's eyes were firm:
"I am sure I can make money from this animated film."
Of course, Su Chen was also very aware of Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun’s concerns.
After thinking for a while, he added:
"According to the agreement, I will still be the one to pay the lion's share of the investment for this animated film, and this time, I'll pay in cash!"
Yes. After getting rid of the shackles of the system donation, Su Chen now had sufficient funds in his account and did not need Zhong Lei or Zhong Jun to advance him money.
“…”
Hearing Su Chen's words, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun's expressions relaxed.
You know, according to the agreement between the two parties, Xingyi Media’s investment in the film is only 15%.
Even if we calculate it in full, 15% of 100 million is only 10 million.
They invested this little money, and if the movie flopped, they would just lose the money. Fifteen million is nothing to the Zhong brothers now.
But if Su Chen's 85% of capital also needs their brothers to help advance it as before, it would be quite dangerous.
If the movie flopped, would they still have the nerve to ask Su Chen for 85 million?
This is really a bit sentimental.
You know, Su Chen has no idea how many billions he has helped them brothers earn.
Just because you lose a little money now, do you have to calculate it so clearly?
Of course, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun could just handle the matter impartially and ask Su Chen to return all the money.
However, in Su Chen's opinion, their impression points may be greatly reduced.
If this causes a rift in their cooperation with Su Chen, leading to Su Chen's departure.
Then, it would be a disastrous consequence for Xingyi Media.
But now that Su Chen said that he could pay for this investment in cash, that’s another story.
That's right.
Most of Su Chen’s income goes through Xingyi’s financial department, so the brothers are very clear about it.
Su Chen's total income since his debut has exceeded 100 billion!!!
This guy donated all his huge wealth to charity and lived a miserable life.
Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun didn't know what to say to Su Chen about this matter.
Fortunately, Su Chen seems to have come to his senses recently and no longer donates hysterically like before.
In this way, the situation is completely different.
According to Su Chen's astonishing income, an investment of tens of millions is just a drizzle, right?
The brothers invested 15 million, so if they lose, it's a loss, and they won't feel bad about it.
Everyone can save face and there will be no emotional rift.
Only this kind of cooperation can last long.
"Is that so? Then there's no problem!"
“The animated film ‘Boonie Bears: Back to Earth’ can be put on the map immediately!”
At this time, Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun immediately expressed their approval of the film project.
Su Chen smiled and said, "I hope the company will maintain its usual high efficiency."
"Because I hope this animated film can be released during the Lunar New Year holiday."
Su Chen is not worried about the movie failing at the box office. With high-quality script and production, plus Su Chen's own terrifying box office appeal, it would be unforgivable if this animated movie did not make money.
By this time, it was already mid-to-late November.
The time left for him is not very abundant.
You have to know that special effects are not only expensive, but also time-consuming.
If you don't hurry up, you may not be able to catch up with the Lunar New Year holiday.
"Of course!"
"Are you still not clear about our efficiency?"
Of course Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun agreed readily at this time.
All departments of Xingyi Media are already familiar with the cooperation with Su Chen, and they are quite confident in their efficiency.
Su Chen nodded and left Zhong Jun's office.
Ding Liang, general manager of Huaqiang Fantawild, couldn't suppress the smile on her face when looking at the ratings of the first season of the "Boonie Bears" animation.
The rebroadcast ratings exceeded 3%!
