My singer girlfriend is super fierce

"Cartoons?" Ye Zhiqiu was stunned.

"Yes." Fang Long explained, "Don't underestimate cartoons. This industry has an average box office of several billion in the United States every year. Compared with the current domestic situation, it is already very mature in terms of customer acceptance and copyright operation, and the market pie is huge."

"More famous ones like The Lion King, Donald Duck, and the Minions in recent years are all very profitable."

At this point, Fang Long smiled and said, "To be honest, my idea was also influenced by you. The two animated films made by your studio have good box office results and high technical level. So can we try it abroad?"

"Of course, I'm not saying that we have to compete with Disney, a large company that has been established for nearly a hundred years. But we can integrate and come up with something with Chinese characteristics. There should be hope to make some money."

"But according to my understanding of foreign countries over the years, too traditional and profound Those foreigners are not interested in food. Just like Chinese food, we need to find something they are interested in and improve it, such as pandas, kung fu, Chinese cuisine, etc...."

After Fang Long finished speaking, Ye Zhiqiu replied: "I do have some ideas about suitable scripts..."

Fang Long's eyes lit up, and Ye Zhiqiu continued: "But, Brother Long, how do you plan to cooperate?"

"Two models." Fang Long raised two fingers, "One is that you write the script, and if it is suitable, I will pay the copyright buyout fee."

"The second is that we work together, and the copyright fee is directly invested, and you can choose whether to make additional investments according to your own situation. My estimated investment amount for this movie is within 80 million US dollars. I and another partner will account for 50 million, and the remaining 30 million is originally prepared to attract investment."

Ye Zhiqiu fell into deep thought, tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers.

70 million US dollars, or about 500 million yuan. To be honest, this investment amount is not high compared to the American market's animated blockbusters that cost hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to produce, but it is enough to make a complete work...

On the side, Wei Bing listened to the conversation between the two without saying a word.

If it were normal, she would have to do her best to get a role for such an opportunity to show up in Hollywood. After all, the title of "international style" is still quite rare now.

But as for animated films, it has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't understand it.

But to be honest, she personally is not optimistic about this project. If the money in the overseas market is really that easy to make, someone would have gone there long ago. Industry barriers, cultural barriers, local protection, each of which is difficult, and if one is not done well, it will be a total loss.

Although she is a queen of the screen, she also earns hard-earned money, working day and night, and dare not take this risk.

"Okay." Ye Zhiqiu pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Long, I choose the second option."

"No problem!" Fang Long laughed, "I knew that with your personality, you would definitely choose this. How much are you going to invest?"

Ye Zhiqiu stretched out three fingers, and Fang Long immediately said, "3 million US dollars? Okay, no problem."

"No." Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and smiled, "I will invest 30 million US dollars."

"I want all the remaining shares."

After the voice fell, Fang Long was shocked and almost blurted out: "Damn, you are so rich!?"

At this time, Wei Bing also looked at Ye Zhiqiu in astonishment.

30 million US dollars, that is, more than 200 million, and it is in cash... Even if she can take out this cash flow, it will be difficult, and she will probably have to scrape it together...

But she has been in this circle for more than ten years, and Ye Zhiqiu has only been in the industry for a few years, and as far as she knows, Ye Zhiqiu has more than one project in his hands...

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and was still modest, "I can't take out so much money, I plan to ask my wife for support."

Song Mei glanced at Ye Zhiqiu and said nothing.

She knew something about Ye Zhiqiu's financial situation. 30 million US dollars is not a small amount, but it is not difficult for him...

Fang Long laughed. With his level, he had heard about Yu Caiwei's background. He sighed, "You are lucky."

"Haha, let's make a deal first, you must invite me to your wedding, so that I can share in the joy."

Ye Zhiqiu naturally agreed with a smile.

"But." Fang Long smiled bitterly, "You can't take all the remaining shares by yourself."

"You know, there are many relationships to be established, and some interested parties must be brought in and bound by shares."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, not surprised by this. The two of them are just making a preliminary cooperation intention, and the specific details will be handed over to the team for detailed discussion later.

Knowing that Ye Zhiqiu plans toAfter investing 30 million US dollars, Fang Long's enthusiasm was fully mobilized.

This shows that Ye Zhiqiu, as a screenwriter, is absolutely confident in this film!

It's hard to say about other people, but Ye Zhiqiu is the only "10 billion screenwriter" in China, and his strength is obvious to all...

After chatting for a while, Fang Long finally couldn't help asking: "Zhiqiu, what do you think about the script? What kind of story is it?"

As soon as the voice fell, Wei Bing on the side couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly and said: "The name of the movie is "Kung Fu Panda."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the name. Everyone knows Kung Fu, and pandas, one of the iconic elements of China, are also familiar, but it's still quite fresh to combine the two.

Under the curious eyes of everyone, Ye Zhiqiu briefly introduced it.

In the previous life, the film "Kung Fu Panda" was indeed a case of integrating Chinese pandas and Kung Fu elements into animation and achieving success in the global box office.

This action-comedy animated film produced by DreamWorks Animation has a total of 3 films in the series, which has earned more than 2 billion US dollars in box office worldwide.

The film is mainly set in ancient China. It tells the story of a panda named "Abao" who works in a noodle shop. By chance, he worships Master Turtle as his teacher, and eventually learns martial arts step by step to become a master of the generation "Dragon Warrior" to defeat powerful enemies.

The film incorporates a lot of Chinese cultural elements, such as kung fu, pandas, ancient traditional architecture, etc. Through humorous dialogues and characters, coupled with wonderful fighting, it can be called a work suitable for all ages.

With Ye Zhiqiu's introduction, Fang Long's eyes became brighter and brighter. He has worked hard abroad for so many years and still understands the viewing tastes of these audiences.

Sometimes films that are too profound and preachy may not achieve good box office results. This kind of joyful and warm animation, coupled with the theme of combining dreams and courage, is more likely to succeed.

It can only be said that Ye Zhiqiu has a very accurate grasp of market preferences.

Although he had only heard a general idea, Van Loon had already made up his mind to make this movie.
