Ma Kui frowned, as if he didn't expect that Mr. Gu would actually propose to use 2D to adapt a fantasy novel about gods and demons such as "Journey to the West".

The difficulty went up immediately.

Why not use 3D production? Anyone with a discerning eye knows that 3D is more suitable for fantasy animations such as "Journey to the West", right?

"3D Journey to the West..."

When Ma Kui proposed using 3D for production, Gu Miao couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

He has also considered this idea.

To be fair, the theme and type of Journey to the West are indeed very suitable for 3D. The fighting is smoother and the scene creation is richer and more three-dimensional.

But it’s still the same problem.

If 3D standards are used for production, it would be difficult to perfectly create the scenes and effects described in the original work of "Journey to the West" without spending some money.

As a result, costs may be exceeded.

After all, in 3D, everyone knows that it is easy to get started, but if you want to raise the upper limit, you have to spend a lot of money, and the level of money burning is even more exaggerated than many 2D animations.

This is a bit...

It’s not that Gu Miao is reluctant to spend money, it’s just that there must be a limit to investment. It’s not realistic to invest billions or tens of billions in an animation and then spend ten or twenty years polishing it. That would be unrealistic.

He has his upper limit.

If it exceeds this upper limit, he has to consider whether it is worth it and whether it is necessary.

"Yes, we do animation to a large extent to make money, not to do good deeds out of charity."

Ma Kui said excitedly: "But this is Sun Wukong! Sun Wukong, Mr. Gu, do you know the influence of this name?"

"I know……"

Gu Miao sighed.

Sun Wukong is a name that is well-known to every household. He has heard it since he was a child. It is something that is engraved in the bones of Chinese people. How could he not know it?

Precisely because he knew and liked Sun Wukong very much, he hesitated whether to make an exception for a "Journey to the West" animation.

"Using 52 episodes and 1,100 minutes as a standard, roughly estimate the cost and construction period, comprehensively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of 2D and 3D, and then make a written report, and we will have a meeting to discuss it."

Gu Miao didn't directly answer whether it was OK or not. He just asked Ma Kui to write a report.

But his attitude was enough to prove certain problems. A man like Ma Kui was naturally able to figure it out. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Ma Kui left happily.

After he left, Gu Miao did not continue to think about the storyboards of "Go Boy". Instead, she took out her mobile phone and entered a keyword on the search engine page: Sun Wukong 3D animation.

After looking at the search results, especially the calls from netizens on various forums and social networking sites to make "Journey to the West" into a 3D animation, he suddenly smiled.

This is settled!

There are so many 2D images of Monkey King, or the animated adaptations of "Journey to the West", and the classics created by American Film Studio are even more difficult to surpass.

On the contrary, there are very few animated adaptations of the 3D image of Monkey King and the 3D version of "Journey to the West", and the quality is generally terrible.

The audience is actually looking forward to a very high-quality 3D version of "Journey to the West" animation, not a shoddy one, but a truly high-quality one.

This is something Gu Miao ignored.

His initial idea was just to make a decent 2D version of "Journey to the West" based on past experience.

After all, he doesn't have much money to invest, so if he spends this little money on 3D Journey to the West, he won't be able to do much good.

But Maguire opened up new ideas to him.

Instead of making a mediocre "Journey to the West" animation on the 2D track, why not spend more money and make an "unprecedented" high-quality 3D "Journey to the West" animation?

This kind of Monkey King will definitely be remembered by countless viewers, and this kind of Journey to the West animation will definitely become an eternal classic!

The price Wanbao needs to pay is just to extend the construction period, increase investment costs, and try to reach the upper limit of domestic 3D technology.

This is actually acceptable.

Wanbao has been established for so many years, and it is no longer the small workshop it was at the beginning. It meets the requirements in terms of risk resistance and capital turnover.

The only problem is just the construction period. If we really want to make a 3D animation of "Journey to the West", even with the scale of Wanbao Animation, it will probably take 2-3 years.

This is still an optimistic statement.

With such a long production period and immeasurable financial investment, it is very difficult for a TV animation to make back the money.

After all, you have invested so much, why do you still make TV animation? Wouldn't it be better to just make a 3D movie and show it in cinemas like "The Return of the Monkey King"?

This is also the reason why there is no high-quality 3D version of the "Journey to the West" TV animation on the market.

Because of their strong technology and investment in companies that meet the standards, they don’t make TV animations and go straight to big movies.

And for those companies that don’t have enough technology and don’t have money in their pockets, you wouldn’t expect them to produce high-quality 3D animations, right?

"So, this is an investment destined to lose money. The only difference is the amount of loss."

In an email to the head of CCTV's animation department, Gu Miao said: "In order to fulfill the children's dreams, we can accept this price, but... you also have to express your feelings, right?"

CCTV is also one of the producers!

Gu Miao did not forget this, so he came directly to the door and asked the big business owner to be mentally prepared in advance. Losing money would not make Wanbao and his family lose money.

what?

Do you really think that this producer just made a name out of thin air? If you don’t pay me, the producer will withdraw it later!

And Mr. Bear, what are you looking at?

How could Gu Miao forget his best brother for such a meritorious deed? Considering the thickness of Mr. Xiong's wallet, Gu Miao felt that he wouldn't mind using his name.
Chapter completed!
