Chapter 842

"Cost recovery is enough!"

A week later, Alice looked at Meng Huo dumbfounded.

The first episode of wine of eternal life has been released, and Phoenix company is also working with the TV station to discuss the premiere price. But at this time, Meng Huo suddenly told Alice, who is in charge of this matter, that it is enough to recover the animation cost.

"Why do you have this idea?" Alice felt awkward: "even if the animation is not good-looking, but with your reputation, the price can not be as low as this!"

After the release of wine of eternal life, both Phoenix company and several TV stations that watched the sample film were not optimistic about it. However, He Xi's signboard was placed here. The premiere price of wine of eternal life is millions.

"It doesn't matter. The price is low. Give it to more TV stations." Meng Huo said with a smile, "I think they will agree with Suhua TV."

He wants to reduce the asking price to the cost price, and he also needs to allocate more TV stations. In this way, every TV station will buy "He Xi's animation" at the price of cabbage. This name alone will be valuable and no one will lose money.

And Alice also knows that as two TV stations closely connected with Phoenix company, and CCTV Animation group will agree with this matter - because they are not optimistic about the audience of "wine of eternal life".

This animation did not carry out much promotion, and in the announcement of Phoenix company, it clearly says that this is a work for a small audience. At the beginning, we didn't believe it very much, but after watching the sample film, everyone felt that wine of eternal life was an animation that was too small to be small.

Even after the audition, 90% of the people said they didn't understand and didn't know what the wine of eternal life was talking about.

"If this is not teacher He Xi's work, we may not want it." Sasaki, the head of Tokyo TV station, still make complaints about Alice in private, but out of the trust of "He Xi", when he bid, he was still Ting generous.

Now Meng Huo asked to lower the price. Alice was puzzled.

However, she was finally convinced by Meng Huo, and then sold "wine of eternal life" to five TV stations, including CCTV. Each TV station had a cabbage price, and the total revenue of the premiere was equivalent to the production cost - Phoenix did not make a cent.

Among these TV stations, Ninghai TV station also got a share. Guoletong, who had just come to make soy sauce, never dreamed that he would get the premiere right of "wine of eternal life" with cabbage price. He was still in a trance when he left.

"What's going on?" Not to mention the representatives of various TV stations, even Zhongxia company, who knew the news afterwards, was confused and had no idea what Meng Huo was playing.

But Xu Jing, who had seen the script, guessed some reasons. In a dinner when he invited Meng Huo, he said to Meng Huo with a smile: "you're losing money and casting a net. You're going to make this animation attract a group of viewers in all TV stations, right?"

Meng Huo nodded. He wanted to reduce the price and improve the audience. Adding more popular TV stations would be better than any promotion. And in so many TV stations broadcast, can let a part of the audience patiently watch.

"To be honest, from my point of view, it takes three attempts to see this animation." He said that, in fact, this is Meng Huo's experience in his last life. He tried it three times, but he couldn't watch it the first two times. He finished reading the wine of eternal life for the third time.

Meng Huo can't judge how many times the world's audience will try, so he wants to give them more opportunities to spread the net in various TV stations. He can't watch it in Suhua TV station for the first time, and some people will be curious to watch it in other TV stations the next day and the third day.

"Three times... I think four times is also possible..." Xu Jing sighed. He really didn't like the wine of eternal life. In fact, after forcing himself to read the script, he thought the wine of eternal life would be a very excellent animation.

But even so, it doesn't mean that it will be popular, because the way of story telling and shooting is very strange, the threshold of watching is very high, and the vast majority of the audience can't bear to watch it all at once.

But on the other hand, the charm of wine of eternal life also lies in its alternative way of narration. If it becomes the same direct narration mode as ordinary animation, there will be no good place for this animation.

"Do you think wine of eternal life will surpass bloody game?" Xu Jing also asked, "bloody game" is an animation released in midsummer at the same time as "wine of eternal life". Recently, many newspapers have compared it with "wine of eternal life".

"Bloody game" is not an angel's work, so the media generally speculate that "wine of eternal life" will be more popular, but Xu Jing is hard to rest assured - he always thinks that "wine of eternal life" is too small."Bloody game?" Sure enough, Meng Huo immediately replied with a smile: "how can it be? It's very popular recently. The wine of eternal life can't surpass it when it's broadcast!"

Meng Huo certainly knows "bloody game". There are too many advertisements on the streets of Ninghai city. In fact, as a non Angel animation, Zhongxia company did not plan such a large-scale publicity at the beginning, but the situation changed when the news of "wine of eternal life" was released.

When Phoenix company announced the animation news of "wine of eternal life", it adopted the obvious label of "niche animation". In addition, there was no advertisement, and its posture was unprecedentedly low-key. This surprised Zhongxia company. After collecting some information about wine of eternal life, they were even more overjoyed.

Such a small number of animation works, maybe "bloody game" can beat it - Zhongxia company thought so, and then increased the publicity of this animation.

"I read about bloody game." Meng Huo praised: "it feels like it will be a blockbuster animation."

"Bloody game", which is another new work of the animation company that produced "the land of ice and fire", has brought a lot of prestige to that company, and this time has also received great attention.

The content of "bloody game" is about an incredible game in the modern city. A group of ordinary people are involved in the game and fight with each other. From the poster, the animation's people are very beautiful, but the theme is quite bloody - full of contradictions, very exciting, enough to attract attention.

This is a rare type of animation in China. In fact, its style is similar to that of wine of eternal life, which belongs to the minority. But the difference is that the narrative technique of wine of eternal life is very difficult to understand, while bloody game is very smooth. Meng Huo believes that it will be more successful.

"On the air, bloody game is definitely more popular than wine of eternal life." Meng Huo looked at Xu Jing and comforted him: "but after the broadcast, the situation is different... Don't worry."

Xu Jing gently shook his head and murmured: "it will take four months..."

The length of the series of wine of eternal life is four months, which is quite a long period of time. But other people don't know that Meng Huo has been looking at it for four months. For many people, now is the most critical moment.

"Can bloody game surpass the ratings of wine of eternal life?" Dong Ding of Zhongxia company is worrying about this problem. In order to fight against "wine of eternal life", the company invested more money in "bloody game" than the production cost of the animation itself. If there is no result, they will lose a lot.

"Don't worry." Jiang Tianshi, sitting in his office, looked at a newspaper and said, "doesn't Ninghai TV station say that the wine of eternal life is not good? Some people in Phoenix company describe it as He Xi's boring animation to kill time, "bloody game" should be able to surpass it in ratings. "

In fact, he is also envious of "bloody game", this animation is really lucky. At the beginning, everyone thought that He Xi would launch a popular and interesting animation after the end of "Chong Wu elf".

Who ever thought that the final result would be eye-catching? In the comments of the people who have seen the sample film of wine of eternal life, the animation niche can no longer be niche, and the beginning of that year's magic girl is not so difficult to understand.

"The difference between that animation and ordinary animation is like a philosophy book and a popular novel. It's too complicated for ordinary audiences to read it at all!"

When he heard such a report, Jiang Tianshi regretted that he had not prepared the new animation in advance, but gave the chance of heaven to bloody game, because it was very simple to see that wine of eternal life was the most easily surpassed work by He Xi.

"But I really can't figure it out. Is it necessary for Teacher He Xi to do this?" Jiang Tianshi put down the newspaper and said strangely, "it's clear that he can make more popular animations. How can he make such a popular work?"

Dong Ding was silent and then frowned.

"Maybe it's because he decided that he no longer needed to make popular works to prove himself?" To tell you the truth, he is a little puzzled, but he can guess Meng Huo's mind more or less: "he is moving towards a more free direction. He can no longer put interests first, but choose the works he is interested in."

It is not surprising that cartoonist He Xi has come to this stage. He has long been qualified to escape from the whirlpool of interests and make more meaningful animations.

However, Dong Ding's feeling about this conjecture is still complicated, because if it is true, it will prove that He Xi has become successful in surpassing Zhongxia Xiang, who has the same conditions to produce minority works before, but in order to compete with Zhongxia company, Phoenix company has to launch a series of big selling works.Now He Xi began to make niche works, which may be an expression of absolute confidence. He no longer regards Zhongxia as his opponent
