Chapter 431 Decision (first update)

"Do you believe this? It's just that I have money and can't find anywhere to spend it, so I'm looking for some excitement!"

"I also think that's the case. People should be self-disciplined."

“There’s a fine line between mental illness and genius.”

“What’s the next movie?”

"Let's check the box office first. I suggest going to the north to talk about it in person."

"Damn it, I have to pay another huge amount of tax to support those shameless politicians." Some people feel distressed at the thought of having to pay another large amount of tax.

Because there are many benefits to registering this kind of film company in London, in this cultural field, it is somewhat inappropriate to register it elsewhere.

"I heard that this genius likes to drink?"

"I also heard that he likes to collect wine?"

"How about we give him a batch of good wine?"

"That's okay, but it's hard to make excuses for the time being. After he delivers Her Majesty's yacht, we will give him a winery and some good wine."

"This is a good idea. The achievements of this kind of person are limitless in the future. The key is that he is only thirty years old now."

It has to be said that this group of dealers are fairly well-informed. They even found out that Liu Hai likes wine. It is not clear who leaked it.

After all, many of the senior family members of these dealers know about the existence of bangs.

The top leaders of these families will not tell this news. It is enough for such talented people to serve their own families. If it is leaked, I am afraid it will attract the attention of more family consortiums.

It's not that I'm worried about Comrade Liu Hai's safety, but I'm worried that someone will increase the price to compete.

These nobles have seen a lot of dirty tricks. Is it true that no one is jealous if my family can earn so much profit now?

Of course not, it's just that the confidentiality work is done well, and there is also the deterrence of money and force.

Of course Liu Hai didn't know that the dealer was preparing to give him a gift and was hammering away in the maintenance department.

The reason why aluminum alloy is used to make models is that it is easy to cut and shape.

If any other metal is used, none is softer and easier to shape than aluminum alloy.

As for plastics and the like, molds are needed.

The bangs have been designed in the aircraft carrier space. This kind of wearing is not very troublesome. It is mainly divided into legs, feet, arms, shoulders, front and rear chest, and helmet.

As for the marquee, this is simple, just put the dry battery in, then use an LED light, add a pressure switch under the foot, or set a switch directly.

Liu Hai took over the task on January 4th, so he put other work aside because the design of the big dog car was almost completed.

Due to time constraints, Liu Hai did not make an aluminum engine, but used a 2.0L naturally aspirated cast iron engine from the motorcycle factory.

It's still a good idea to change the shell. In the morning, I design a big dog car, and in the afternoon I work in the maintenance department to make big toys.

And the bangs only need to be made as a model, and others can make more models based on this and the character patterns of the cartoon.

"Xiao Liu, the plan has changed. The dealers have decided not to launch the big dog car for the time being, because the dog car and the Red Fox sports car are still very popular." Five days later, Sun Aiguo hurried to the maintenance department. , said to bangs.

"So when will they launch it?" Liu Hai didn't feel surprised when he heard this. The frequency of dealers launching cars is indeed a bit too fast.

Logically speaking, one new car a year is about the same.

"This is not clear yet. They are making crazy money on toys. This thing does not have much technical content. As long as the mold materials are in place, the production speed is very fast!"

"It's probably because they don't have the energy to develop this new car, and our car production capacity has reached its maximum, so we need to give us some time to slowly accumulate."

"New workers also need time to grow." Sun Aiguo didn't know the specific reason, but just expressed his guess.

"Okay then!" In fact, Liu Hai's big dog truck has been completed, because he has been working on the big dog truck since the delivery of the heavy transport vehicle and torpedo boat in December.

Of course, I am also working on a medical surgery cart, and now I am mainly thinking about how to install the equipment.

As for the hardware facilities, it is not difficult. Even if the domestic road conditions are not good now, you can just find a flat place to park.

The fleet itself will have off-road capabilities. Of course, a fleet will have more than just these vehicles. It will also need logistical support, fuel, and even security personnel.

"Toys are going crazy. All domestic factories that can manufacture plastic products are now doing this." Who Patriot said again.

"And do you know how many tickets there were as of last Sunday?"

"With a box office of more than 250 million U.S. dollars, I understand why the toys are so popular. It's because too many people watch the movie. With 250 million U.S. dollars, the money printing machine can't print that much in twenty days! "When Sun Aiguo heard this data from his superior department today, he spit out his tea.

"Is that much?" Liu Hai also looked shocked, but in fact he thought it should be about the same.

It was originally a classic, but the $250 million in twenty days still surprised Liu Hai a little.

"This is only the box office statistics of North America and Europe, there are other miscellaneous bad statistics!"

"It is expected that it will take three months before all the statistics are in place and the accounts can be divided!" Sun Aiguo said again.

At this time, three months is already the fastest, because each country's accounting system and taxation system are different, and there is no such developed network communication in later generations.

Many things need to be done manually. It takes three or four years after a Hollywood movie hits the box office to settle accounts with investors and say it has lost money.

"What a genius!" Sun Aiguo looked at Liu Hai. The production cost of a film was 5 million pounds.

Moreover, Sun Aiguo knew how much this cost involved. Only less than 90,000 drawings were used.

Of course there is film, but what does that matter?

Sun Aiguo knows that if we were to produce such a movie and animation in China alone, we wouldn't even need one million pounds.

A five-million-pound movie sold for $250 million in just twenty days.

Even if there is an exchange rate between US dollars and British pounds, the return on investment is simply too great.

"The higher-level department estimates that you can get at least 20 million US dollars!" When Sun Aiguo heard this from the higher-level department just now, he was speechless and almost bit his tongue.

It's a simple conversion. If the cost of a car is US$1,000, Comrade Liu Hai will get a car worth 20,000 US dollars this time.

You must know that more than ten years ago, we imported only 10,000 cars a year.

Liu Hai pretended to be shocked: "Do you want to divide it so much?"

"It's just a lot more, and there is also a share of toy patents, stickers, and video tapes. It is said that there are people who want to buy this script and offer a price of 10 million US dollars to adapt it into a live-action movie." Sun Aiguo did not expect. Comrade Liu Hai's cartoon can not only bring tens of millions of dollars in income to him personally, but can also bring nearly more than 100 million US dollars in income to the country.

When Liu Hai received a report from Sun Aiguo here, his superiors were also meeting with the leaders of several relevant departments to hold a meeting in his study.

"Comrade Xiao Liu, he must take this money himself!" The person who spoke was the leader in charge of culture and education.

When the superior leader heard this, he asked, "Tell me your reason?"

"Because our country has gained more," the leader said.

"The main reason why distributors were willing to invest five million pounds in this film was because of Comrade Liu Hai."

"For such an animated film, if we were to produce it domestically, we would not be able to spend half a million pounds, but the distributors did not bargain at all. Comrade Liu Hai offered a production fee of five million pounds, and they agreed immediately."

"Of the five million pounds of production fees, Liu Hai didn't get a single pound."    "And if anyone can achieve such a rate of return like Comrade Liu Hai, I will also support it with both hands and take whatever amount you should get!" The leader expressed his thoughts.

Other leaders also nodded, including the leader in charge of the toy conference and light industry. He also nodded: "This cartoon has driven the sales of toys. In the past 20 days, we have exported more than 30 million pounds of toys. And looking at the size of this market, it can eventually reach 300 million pounds, and the most important thing is."

"There is also a second part of the animation, and according to dealers' estimates, this toy will have a market of hundreds of millions of pounds every year."

"And this market size is likely to last ten or twenty years. After all, children are born and grow up every year."

"In addition, according to the latest requirements of dealers, Comrade Liu Hai is designing newer and larger toys."

The leader in charge of automobile export also nodded: "Because cartoons have once again boosted the sales of several cars, dealers have postponed the launch of new cars and instead placed additional car orders."

When the superior leader heard this, he took a long drag on his cigarette and said, "But Comrade Xiao Liu personally receives tens of millions of dollars, which has a bad influence!"

"Boss, the writer and director of the cartoon is a man named Jack." The leader in charge of car export said with a smile.

"You mean to give it to his ex-wife?" the superior asked after hearing this.

"Comrade Liu Hai needs to listen to his personal opinion on this, and Comrade Liu Hai is not suitable to donate money. After all, we get more at the national level, especially in the cultural field." The person in charge of culture has been extremely excited recently. , after all, in the area of ​​cultural export, we used to organize some painters or performers.

But the impact is not as big as this time. Although it is not suitable to be publicized on the surface, it has also shown its strength in the cultural aspect, that is, it will have the confidence to ask for money in the future.

In addition, I also hope that Comrade Liu Hai will make a second movie, and even hope that Comrade Liu Hai will make some movies with oriental cultural characteristics.

In addition, the production fee of 5 million pounds has been spent long ago, part of which was given to the staff below, and more was used in other cultural fields.

Now you say that Comrade Liu Hai should not take this money. If you really calculate it, the project team will still have to spend the five million pounds.

The most important thing is that Comrade Liu Hai took it personally. The cultural department can also get a share of the windfall of more than 100 million earned this time.

The superior leaders actually do not want to see this situation, but Comrade Xiao Liu is the benchmark he has supported. The more capable and capable Comrade Xiao Liu is, the more he can prove his vision.

Moreover, Comrade Xiao Liu has accumulated too much credit. Let’s see if any of the leaders at the scene are speaking for Comrade Xiao Liu.

Even I couldn’t say anything.

Anyone who knows the inside story will speak for Comrade Xiao Liu. Comrade Xiao Liu has made great contributions to various departments.

It can be said that if we count several departments one by one, there is no leader who does not appreciate Comrade Liu's sympathy.

From small industrial equipment, to large aviation and ships, to the agricultural sector, even the most difficult-to-serve intellectuals now speak to Comrade Xiao Liu.

The most important thing for Comrade Xiao Liu to win the approval of so many people is that he does not argue. Although his technical position has reached the level of chief engineer, he does not compete with others in his official career. Instead, he helps batch after batch of people. .

"Then let's wait for the money and then listen to Comrade Liu Hai's opinion!" The superior leader can only put this matter aside for now.

"The dealer is very willing to talk about the second Autobot movie animation. They will provide the most advanced film production equipment and are willing to increase investment." The cultural leader said again.

"In terms of toys, in view of our insufficient production capacity, they want to authorize production to other toy manufacturers. The patent fees are very generous, and they only charge a management fee of 5% of the total patent fees, and the rest is given to us." Responsible for toy exports The leaders also reported.

The leader in charge of automobile export smiled bitterly: "I heard that some foreign automobile manufacturers are willing to pay five million US dollars to have their cars added to the animated movies, even if they are villains."

"Anyone who sells motor oil, glasses, or even paint is willing to pay a lot of money to place advertisements in cartoons."

"Advertising placement is in cartoons...!" the leader explained again.

The superior leader was slightly surprised when he heard this and asked: "Doesn't this mean that the animated film has earned a lot of money even before it is produced?"

"Yes, many popular movies abroad have advertisements, some for cars, some for motorcycles, and some for watches." The cultural leader nodded.

"We will discuss this matter when the accounts are finally divided." The superiors also knew that this matter was too big. Comrade Xiao Liu had never received huge design fees before, but at that time they were only one to two million to several million. Now All of a sudden it reached tens of millions.

At the same time, I am worried that Comrade Xiao Liu will have an unstable mentality when dealing with the money and make some extraordinary actions.

After all, in some aspects, the person who helps you say good things may not necessarily be one of your own. There is a name called Pengsha.

Of course Liu Hai didn't know that his superiors intended to give him this large sum of money.

Bangs definitely wouldn't take it by himself. Tens of millions of dollars are nothing. Just a small item taken out from an aircraft carrier would be worth more than ten times.

Liu Hai is thinking about one thing, that is, he wants to take a trip to the south during the New Year.

I have been in this world for more than ten years, and I have basically wandered within a few dozen kilometers around Kyoto.

I also want to see how the durians I planted in Hainan are doing.

"What are your plans for the New Year this year?" Sun Aiguo didn't know that his superiors had already made a decision. He came to ask Liu Hai today mainly as a test.

"I want to go to Hainan to experience what the tropics are like." Liu Hai expressed his thoughts.

"Of course you can. The temperature over there in winter is still over 20 degrees. There are endless fruits to eat, and there are a lot of seafood in the sea. Our factory has a large area of ​​land over there. Your piece of land has been completed and planted. There are a lot of tropical fruits." Sun Aiguo has been there, because for the project to be implemented there, he must communicate with the locals.

Of course, Sun Aiguo most wanted Liu Hai to visit the aircraft test ground being built there. Comrade Xiao Liu should also work hard on the aircraft.

"Then I'll go there for a week!" Liu Hai decided immediately.

"Are you going alone or with others?" Sun Aiguo asked again.

"It's inconvenient to invite other people to join us. Wouldn't it be a bad influence?" Liu Hai didn't want to invite others, because he could just enjoy it in a low-key manner by himself.

"With this idea, you are much better than some people." Sun Aiguo almost gave Liu Hai a thumbs up.

"Recently I've been imagining a cartoon with our oriental characteristics. I just happened to go there to change my mind. When I come back, I'll visit various zoos." Liu Hai was about to take out the Kung Fu Panda.

The reason why I didn’t get a movie like this for the first time was because I didn’t have the reputation.

Now that you are famous, if you make a movie like this, others will accept it very much.

"What kind of subject matter?" Sun Aiguo's eyes lit up when he heard this. Is it time to promote our Eastern culture?

"I got inspiration from Journey to the West, but I changed the idea to something that is easy for Westerners to accept. The protagonists are some animals, such as pandas and cranes. The specific plot is still being conceived." Liu Hai gave a general introduction.

"Okay!" Sun Aiguo no longer believed in Comrade Liu Hai. After all, the Autobot movie was a bit nonsense in his opinion, and he didn't expect to sell it for so much money.

Comrade Xiao Liu has completely mastered Western aesthetics.

Liu Hai decided to take a walk by himself, and then visit various zoos on the way. When the money comes into his account, he can donate a sum to various zoos to do research and protect some animals, and most of the rest will be donated to rural primary schools. Donating classes, book bags, etc., but I haven’t decided in what name.

Of course Liu Hai didn't know that his superiors were going to distribute the money abroad to a man named Jack. It would be better if he knew, so that he wouldn't have to come forward.

On January 20, 1971, Comrade Liu Hai wore a Transformers armor weighing more than 100 kilograms.

"How's it going?" Liu Hai put on the Bumblebee armor and struck a pose for the people in the maintenance department to see.

"Section Chief, I want one too!" Li Dali and others stared at him, he was so damn handsome.

"I'll give you a task. Make it according to my idea. Make all the characters in Transformers according to this proportion and size. Of course, use the lightest material possible. After all, it weighs more than 100 pounds, which is really annoying for ordinary people to wear. ." Liu Hai decided to add tasks to the people in the maintenance department. At the same time, he also thought about taking the other people in the department to Hainan for a walk. After all, these people under him were very enthusiastic about following him.

　Second update at noon.
