Chapter 275: Huge Expenses

After returning to the Far East for a week, the remote mechanism of Sakura Animation and Phoenix Company was completed.

The production of "Gundam Seed" started rapidly. The initial task was to determine the character design and body design. These two were fully dominated by Meng Huo, but he did not copy the original design.

Although the original "Gundam Seed" was popular, it has been around for a while, so this time Meng Huo boldly beautified the details. Since it is an idol film, the more beautiful it is, the more attractive it is.

On the basis of retaining the original work, he basically beautified every character by three points. After handing over the original design, all the painters would be dizzy.

"President, these settings are too powerful!"

"No, the difficulty is too high, the body and characters are so detailed, it is difficult for us to cooperate!"

Originally, the Gundam in the Gundam animation was very difficult to draw, requiring very fine details and computer assistance. Now that the requirements for the characters and pictures are so high, Meng Huo's original design made it difficult for many painters.

"What do you think I spent half a year preparing for?"

Meng Huo snorted coldly. The normal animation would come out in a few months, but "Gundam Seed" was expected to take a long time because of his high requirements.

Meng Huo didn't want to follow a routine. Since he wanted to do it, he had to turn the animation into a high-quality product.

"I'll give you two weeks to get familiar with the painting style." He said to all the painters: "You have to cooperate well during this time and meet my requirements, otherwise you will be ready to be fired by me!"

This sentence made the painters' faces pale, but after hitting the stick. Meng Huo also gave carrots.

"You just have to do your best, as long as you can paint well. It's okay to slow down in the future. I will recruit more painters to win by quantity."

"And the production of this animation costs a lot..." He stretched out a finger and said, "100 million Huaxia coins will allow you to give full play to your talents."

One hundred million Huaxia coins, all the painters were stunned when they heard this number.

There has never been such a large production budget in the history of Chinese animation. This figure represents that the production budget of each episode of "Gundam Seed" is as high as several million.

Millions of dollars for one episode...

"Oh oh oh oh~~"

"It's against the sky!"

The news is out.

Regardless of the animation department in Ning Hai or the Far East, the artists who learned about the funding were all very excited. The production budget for "Pokemon" was 400,000 episodes, and "Gundam Seed" doubled it.

"What is the identity of the president, to play such a big game!"

Many people in Sakura Animation Company are curious. Meng Huo's identity has not been announced internally, but the cooperation with Phoenix Company has already made some people suspicious.

But Meng Huo dressed up as mature and went to work every day. The image has changed drastically, and the information is very clear, so the suspicion has not increased.

"But it's great, with so much money, it seems that the president wants to make this animation into a movie-level quality!"

"You said, is this going to die?"

Someone is excited. Some people are nervous, but no matter what, this funding has greatly improved the morale of Sakura Animation.

The total assets of this company are less than half of the cost of an animation, Takako Takashima was so excited that he wanted to faint when he heard about it.

But at the same time, this decision also shocked Phoenix Company for a while.

Xu Jing personally called to ask Meng Huo why he made this decision. The higher the cost, the greater the pressure. Isn't Meng Huo's approach very risky?

"Don't worry. There will be money."

Meng Huo comforted Xu Jing in this way. He believed that "Gundam Seed" would not lose much. In fact, it doesn't matter if it loses.

Now that China's animation industry is gradually maturing, the peripherals can start to be sold. Meng Huo intends to use this animation to establish the status of the king of Gundam in one fell swoop, so that in the future, those models, peripherals, and so on will definitely bring more than 100 million in value.

If he is seized by others, he will definitely regret it later.

"OK then……"

Xu Jing can only accept that this is the benefit of major shareholders. Meng Huo took the initiative, and Xu Jing was just suggesting. Before Meng Huo wanted to use 100 million for animation, Xu Jing would definitely not agree.

The huge production budget has been decided, and the rest is to officially start construction.

The illustrators took Meng Huo's original design and began to hone their skills, and the animation departments of the two places also began to practice remote cooperation in production, moving forward in an orderly manner.

At this stage, Meng Huo did not interfere with specific affairs.

He wrote the plot script at home, and made the score. In order to avoid suspicion, all songs are anonymous. The designer of the character and the body did not announce to the people below, and ordinary employees did not know that he made these things.

This is also an unavoidable behavior. Once people know that all of these are from Meng Huo, as long as they are not fools, they will associate him with He Xi.

And the news passed to the ears of ordinary employees must not be hidden from Mantian. This time, the funding for "Gundam Seed" was also leaked very quickly, but it did not arouse suspicion.

"The animation production cost of 100 million Huaxia coins, tsk tsk... That rich man is really generous..."

After Suzuki Akira heard the news, he despised Meng Huo even more. Now which animation company is not saving money to make money, it is simply impossible to get a profit with a budget of 100 million.

"Sure enough, I'm just a prodigal son who treats animation as a movie."

Akira Suzuki disdains in his heart, the movie box office is expensive, but the animation does not have the income of the movie box office.

At this time, Mantendo's Gundam animation started earlier than "Gundam Seed". The name was "The Strongest Mobile Suit", and publicity was started in all parts of the Far East.

Eiji Takashima was a little nervous. He asked Meng Huo if he wanted to do publicity, but Meng Huo refused.

"No need, talk about it later."

The animation horoscope has not been written yet, why does he want to promote it, the animation of Mantiantang will definitely be broadcast first, let it explore the market and pave the way for "Gundam Seed".

And there is another thing that is most important to Meng Huo - the choice of voice actor. As an idol drama, "Gundam Seed" has high requirements in various aspects, and the same is true for the quality of sound quality.

There are so many high-quality voice actors in the Far East?

Meng Huo thought of the voice actors he was familiar with in his previous life, but he searched for a few days but found nothing: perhaps because of the difference in the history of the Far Eastern District, he did not find those people.

However, the teaching in some regions and ethnic groups in China is bilingual teaching, and the same is true in the Far Eastern District. The TV programs here are available in the Far Eastern dialect, and also in pure Chinese, which will not affect anyone watching.

"Should I let those voice actors from Ning Hai do the animation?"

Meng Huo was in trouble, and finally made an animation in the extreme east. He wanted to try to make "Gundam Seed" into a bilingual version, and maybe he could find different effects - the extreme east dialect is very expressive for animation songs, and Chinese inferior.

After all, there are very few freaks like Shen Jie...

ps: There will be another update after eleven o'clock
