Chapter 565

At present, most of the popular cartoons on the market are 3D animations. Of course, many animations say they are 3D, but they don’t actually have much technical content.

3D is also different. For example, the cost of some domestic 3D animation series is not higher than that of 2D animation.

Real 3D animation needs to spend money, and the speed of burning money is no less than those blockbusters with live-action special effects.

For example, among those big-selling 3D animation movies in Hollywood, which one didn't burn hundreds of millions of dollars?
On the other hand, domestic animation, like "Son of the Sea", although it invested several billion Chinese dollars, in fact, it is tens of millions of dollars in conversion, and this is already considered a high investment for a major domestic animation film.

This is still the present, with more and more attention being paid to intellectual property rights in China, and the peripherals of many animation products can be sold. Otherwise, in the early years, all profits were made at the box office. Who would be willing to do projects that are clearly impossible to make money?

On the other hand, in foreign countries, even half of the cost of an animated film at the box office can make a lot of money, because the box office accounts for less than 30% of their revenue, especially animated films.

As for those animated films that hit the box office, it is actually difficult to recover the cost from the box office, but they can make a lot of money, because the peripherals of animated films are much easier to do than live-action films.

At present, the animation industry in Huaguo seems to be in an endless loop, because it has begun to attach importance to intellectual property rights and brand factors. Logically speaking, this is a very beneficial thing for the animation industry in Huaguo, but in reality?
Compared with those well-known foreign animation production companies, domestic animation companies obviously lack background and experience.

The quality of the produced animation works must be difficult to compare with foreign animation works, especially in animation films, because of the large investment and high risk, few people in China are willing to invest large sums of money to give it a go .

However, foreign film and television companies are different. Huaguo has a large population base and has begun to pay attention to intellectual property rights, so this has given foreign film and television companies a very favorable environment.

Although the imported films have a very low share, once the box office explodes, although they don't get much money at the box office, the peripherals are completely theirs.

The animation works imported by the TV station are similar. Many foreign animation works are actually sold to the TV station at an extremely low price in Huaguo. What they rely on is not the money from selling the movies, but the influence, but the subtle influence. .

Don't look at the many animation series in the island country, some as low as a few hundred episodes, and as many as thousands of episodes, but in fact, the copyright fees spent by these domestic network companies are not very high.

But why is the other party willing to sell?Because animation is no longer a publicity tool for others, rather than the main source of income.

Well, these are off topic.

After seeing the project budget of "Kung Fu Panda", almost everyone subconsciously wants to oppose it, because the risk is really big.

This kind of blockbuster animated movie is not like "Peppa Pig", which can produce dozens of hours of movies in a month or two.

This kind of real big animation movie, and it is a big animation movie with original works, there is no such thing as a year or two that can't come out at all.

Although the labor cost is relatively low on Huaguo's side, the human sea tactics can be used to speed up the progress, but the key point is, what is the prospect?

"[-] million US dollars, is it too risky? At present, there are very few live-action movies in Huaguo that can reach this figure. We can definitely make a medium-cost one to test the waters first." Xiao Jie couldn't help but said .

"Time doesn't wait. Either don't do it or do it well. Now "Peppa Pig" has just created a miracle, so we have to make persistent efforts to make the name of the miracle of Sanle Animation, otherwise, if you fail once, the effect will be nothing." It might not be that good." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Besides, I can afford to lose [-] million dollars!"

Xiao Jie couldn't help but rolled her eyes, rich and willful, what else can she say?
"You don't have to think too much about the investment budget. I hope that next time, everyone can directly talk about this project, what should be paid attention to, and what we currently lack."

Although everyone is still worried, there is no way. Whether it is Sanle Animation or Lingxiao Pavilion, Lin Xiao is an absolute core figure. Basically, few people can change the things he decides.

Lin Xiao's original intention was that "Kung Fu Panda" was jointly invested by Lingxiaoge Film and Television, Lingxiaoge Animation, and Sanle Animation was responsible for the production.

It's just that although he can decide all the matters of High Heaven Pavilion with one word, after all, High Heaven Pavilion has other shareholders.

Moreover, for this investment, Ling Xiao Pavilion must invest at least 3 million Chinese dollars, which is not a small amount, so Lin Xiao asked Xiao Jie to notify several shareholders as usual.

In fact, it was Lin Xiao's trial.

The previous "Little Pig Peppa" incident made Lin Xiao also have some unfavorable views on the giants he cooperated with, so this time, Lin Xiao wants to pass this "Kung Fu Panda" project, Get a feel for it.

As a result, apart from Wang Bin and Huaying Group, several other shareholders actually raised doubts.

On Tianhua Group's side, Yao Ding is relatively close to Lin Xiao, and Tianhua and Lingxiao Pavilion have the most cooperation.

Coupled with Wang Bin's relationship, Tianhua Group should be the least likely to object, but in the end, Lin Xiao was extremely disappointed.

Perhaps this has something to do with the recent turmoil of the Tianhua Group. There seems to be something wrong with the capital chain of the Tianhua Group, and it is currently shrinking its business on a large scale.

On the other hand, Tianhua has recently cooperated with Hollywood Legendary Films on several major projects, so Tianhua Films and Television has insufficient funds.

Don't think that these big groups and big giants are really so rich. In fact, their cash flow is not much.

On the contrary, Ari only expressed concern, but did not express any objection. After all, they don't hold many shares, and the amount of money shared will not be too much.

Although Lin Xiao can still make decisions directly, after all, he is the largest shareholder with an absolute controlling stake, and he is also the soul of Ling Xiao Pavilion.

But this time, Lin Xiao didn't do that, instead, he directly abandoned Ling Xiao Pavilion to invest and raise money for "Kung Fu Panda".

"Kung Fu Panda" has a total investment of 3 million U.S. dollars, and Lin Xiao personally invested [-] million Chinese dollars with the Ling Xiaoge animation as the main body.

Huaying Group invested 1 million Chinese dollars, which actually did not exceed Lin Xiao's expectations, because "Little Pig Peppa" has learned from the past, and Huaying Group's investment can be regarded as a kind of support for Huaguo's domestic animation.

Surprisingly, Huaxun Films actually stated that they can eat all the remaining financing amount.
