Chatty Hollywood

In the field of Internet entrepreneurial venture capital in China, there is a widely circulated question.

"If the field you are working in really develops, what will happen when the Antarctic biology that has a hand in everything gets involved?"

This is a problem that annoys the majority of entrepreneurs seeking investment.

There is no way. According to the Matthew effect of the strong, the strong will always be strong. As long as they don't make mistakes, those very large companies will be difficult to deal with.

What's more, the opponent still has an absolute platform advantage, and can be embarrassed at critical moments.

And their technical and business levels are indeed not low.

However, in order to attract investment, we cannot just throw out the three-character mantra

Too awesome,

no way,

Wait to die!

After saying this, VCs will definitely wave goodbye.

In order to make ends meet, most entrepreneurs have no choice but to think and talk nonsense.

Not to mention, I actually figured out a useful trick.

That is to fight the slow with the fast!

As long as the market is deeply integrated with itself before the other party intervenes, so that the other party cannot directly use capital and size advantages to force eviction, then the rest will be easy.

Whether it is to keep half of the country or directly consider letting the other party acquire and cash out, it is a good choice.

In fact, this trick is also the only way to deal with all powerful capital forces.

To put it simply, it means trying to gain the first mover advantage.

After all, capital seeks profit.

As long as your first mover advantage makes the other party feel that the cost of expelling you directly is worse than cooperating with you, then you will succeed.

This is what Charlotte is currently considering.

Therefore, he hopes to have a hand in the film and TV series of the series before capital giants such as Warner take notice.

As long as he inserts this leg beautifully enough, the influx of capital from behind will not start a new business, and he will have the capital to negotiate.

However, as mentioned before, the cost of adapting a movie is too high.

Even one movie is beyond the cards Charlotte currently has in hand.

So, he set his sights on the animated version

Although it has many fans among adults, at the end of the day, the series is still children's literature.

Especially the first part, it is completely childlike.

In this case, adapting it into a TV animation would be a good plan.

As long as it is not made into an exquisite animated movie, the cost of ordinary TV animation is much lower than that of movies or even ordinary TV series.

After all, there aren’t too many actors here.

What's more, Charlotte also has an animation artifact in her hands.

The human skin book from the evil god.

Charlotte felt more and more that it would be too wasteful to only use it as a tool to deduce the rhythm and rationality of the script.

After receiving the Saturn Award last time, he came up with the idea of ​​refining and transforming the human skin book.

Just like the nightmare he turned into a unicorn, it became a tool to communicate the dreams between him and Charlize.

He plans to refine the human skin book into a special image processor

A tool that can mix the images imagined by Charlotte, the scenes and characters drawn by artists, and the special effects produced by technicians, and automatically output them according to the story script.

"If you really have this kind of tool, you can produce animated movies at an ultra-low cost? Can you bankrupt Disney until it goes bankrupt?"

After hearing Charlotte's thoughts about the human skin book, Charlize's first reaction was this, and Alexis on the side also nodded in agreement.

"How can it be that simple!"

Charlotte shook her head;

"According to my estimation, although the animation output in this way is much better than the one before the human skin book, it can only reach the quality level of TV animation at most."

"So I can't see it on the big screen!?"

Charlize was a little disappointed, but then became excited again,

"Even if it's a TV animation, it's great! One TV animation a day, and soon you won't have to be a director, you can become the king of animation!"

"One anime a day!? The King of Anime!!?"

Charlotte always felt that this setting was strangely familiar. He shook his head and said with a wry smile,

"How could it be so powerful? Even if the refining of the human skin book is successful, there will still be a lot of work needed to generate a TV animation."

As he spoke, he folded his fingers and counted them.

"First of all, we need to have a basic story script, which cannot be accomplished overnight."

"Secondly, we have to complete the image design of all the characters in the story. If I just rely on my imagination, the characters will not look good."

"Then, we have to design a complete scene. The human skin book itself can only evolve the story, but cannot extract the details of the scene."

"Only when all of the above are completed, can we rely on the human skin book to evolve the spell. Otherwise, the resulting picture may be no different from the simple animation I used to demonstrate the script before."

"What's more, to output this kind of animation, you need to consume mana. I guess the human skin book itself may have a CD, no, it is the casting interval."

"Actually, I originally wanted to rely on the improved human skin book to integrate the spell rendering technology of Spectre Studio with real computer rendering technology and scene painting technology."

Charlotte finally expressed her plan,

"In this way, Spectre Studios can be considered a true movie special effects studio."

"Well, if you say so."

After being stunned for a long time, Charlize finally understood what Charlotte meant.

"However, if this happens, your Spectre studio will have to recruit real computer special effects personnel, right?"

"yes!"

As she said that, Charlotte pointed at Alexis, who was sitting aside and watching the excitement for a long time.

"Isn't this our technical director?"

"I!?"

Alexis pointed to her nose in confusion, but Charlotte nodded.

"Yes, it's you! Have you forgotten the post-resurrection identity I prepared for you before? Ms. Alexis Rachel Haydon, a female programmer working for a company in Silicon Valley?"

"..."

After thinking about it for a long time, Alexis remembered that Charlotte had indeed created this "resurrection" character setting for herself, but

"Before I became a ghost, I was just a low-level actor. I didn't know any computer skills at all!!"

"No need to worry about this at all!"

Charlotte had an "I'll do it for you" look on her face,

"Just do as I say!"

"……All right."

Although she didn’t know what the other party planned to do, Alexis knew that since Charlotte dared to say that, she must have her own way, but

Hope his method isn't too weird!

Alexis prayed in her heart.

On the other side, Charlize suddenly realized that they seemed to have gone off topic.

"Ignoring the issues of technology and magic, why do you think it is a good choice to adapt Joanna Rowling's story into animation? Is it just because of the low cost?"

"of course not."

Charlotte shook her head;

"Essentially, as long as the script is confirmed, no matter what kind of animation it is, the cost will not be too high according to my method of borrowing human skin books."

"I would choose Rowling's work that only has the beginning. More importantly, it is because it has a very grand magical world view. It is not only suitable for full-length animation, but also suitable for adapting into live-action movies in the future."

"If it really takes off."

Charlize reminded him.

"certainly."

Charlotte nodded. He couldn't tell Charlize about the future, so he could only continue,

"The current assumptions are all based on the premise that Rowling's book can become popular. First complete the low-cost TV animation adaptation, which can not only grab a wave of profits first, but also further promote the work. At the same time,"

Charlotte paused,

"We can control the interests of peripheral products to a certain extent."
