Ed Kemal was very happy to hear Xia Tian say this.

To be honest, of course he was interested in making movies. Otherwise, he would not have joined Lucasfilm in the beginning.

However, Lucas later sold the computer animation department, which made his dream of film stop.

For the next decade, they had been wasting their talents on those boring advertisements, which really made them feel like they were unable to reach their ambitions.

Now, Xia Tian agreed to them to make animated feature films, which is really awesome for them.

"Mr. Xia, do you really agree with us to make animated feature films?" Ed Kemal asked in surprise.

"That's right. And the cost of the first movie is 25 million US dollars." Xia Tian nodded and smiled, "How?"

In his previous life, Toy Story spent a total of 30 million US dollars. Summer now only said 25 million US dollars, just to make a surplus in advance.

Because this is the first time that Tianxia Animation has produced a feature film, I am afraid that there is insufficient experience, especially the lack of control and the abuse of funds, resulting in a surge in costs.

This is definitely not new in film history. It is really rare for directors who are willing to save money for investors. Many directors spend all their budgets and require additional funds.

For example, the famous Casino King James Cameron repeatedly asked for additional funds when filming "Titanic". The original plan cost was 75 million US dollars, but the final production cost was as high as 200 million US dollars, forcing the producer 20th Century Fox to bankruptcy.

In comparison, directors like Wang Jing, Zhu Yanping, Michael Bay, etc., are so rare and cute.

...

And making computer animation feature films is a very expensive thing.

Like in his previous life, Squareps has released a feature animation called "Final Fantasy: Deep in the Soul" based on the "Final Fantasy" series of games.

The animation was produced for four years, with a total investment of $300 million. As a result, the global box office was only $80 million, causing Square Games to lose $50 million, almost bankrupt, and finally had to sell it to Sony.

Hiroshi Sakaguchi originally became the most glorious game producer in the global game industry because of launching the "Final Fantasy" series, but he also suffered a fall in love because of this incident. It was a pity.

Therefore, the summer is worried that Ed Kemal will suddenly produce the animated feature film "Toy Story", which is likely to blindly abuse funds because of lack of experience and great success. In this way, the cost of "Toy Story" is likely to be overspent.

So in summer, the cost is lower. If you really overspent, you can make up for another 5 million US dollars. If you don’t overspent, it will naturally be better.

Ed Kemal was happy when he heard Xia Tian say that the funds were 25 million US dollars.

This is the first time he has seen so much money. With so much money in it, it is enough for him to show his strength.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia." He thanked happily.

"You don't have to be polite." Xia Tian waved his hand, "You can just make it well. If you do it well, there will be movies for you in the future. If you fail, there will be no chance."

"Don't worry, we will do it well." Ed nodded.

Xia Tian smiled and then left Tianxia Animation.

...

After leaving Tianxia Animation, Summer also ended its publicity in the United States and returned to Hong Kong by private jet.

Before returning to Hong Kong, he greeted Jerry Brookheimer, who was produced in the world, and asked him to find Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, telling them that they had a chance to find them to shoot, hoping that they could make time.

When Brad Pitt filmed "The End of the Road", he was just an unknown newcomer in Hollywood. Although he was handsome and sexy, Hollywood actually had the least shortage of newcomers with good looks. There are many people who are handsome and have more temperament than him. Therefore, he was not famous at the time.

However, after years of hard work, Brad Pitt has long been different from the past.

Now, he is one of the famous male movie stars in Hollywood, and his starring movies such as "The Great River Love", "The California Killer", and "The Years of Love" have good box office and reputation.

He even won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival for the movie "California Killer". This will undoubtedly be of great help to enhance his popularity and status in the industry.

Morgan Freeman is also a well-known veteran actor in Hollywood. For example, he participated in "Black Prison" in 1987 and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Later, he starred in "The Evil Before Dawn" and won him the Oscar nomination for Best Actor. In 1990, he was nominated for Best Actor with the movie "Driving for Miss Daisy"...

Although Morgan Freeman has a poor chance of winning the award, he has not won the Academy Award so far. However, his multiple nominations are enough to demonstrate his acting skills. Therefore, many production companies are willing to invite him to film.

So now, Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are very busy and may not have scheduled. Therefore, Xia Tian wants to say hello in advance.

If they have schedules, it would be better. If there is no schedule, then consider changing others immediately.

...

But unexpectedly, as soon as Brookheimer greeted him, Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman responded immediately. He pushed all his work away and wanted to join the crew of Summer.

The reason why they are so active is because they think clearly. The movies they make must be extraordinary when they are dormant in summer for two years and come out again.

Because it was already very impressive to make movies before summer. "Mulholland Road", "The End of the Road", "Eat Raw", "The Love of Man and Ghost" and so on, there are many excellent works, and they are hailed as the most outstanding young director in the world film industry.

After thinking about this work for two years, what would it look good? Conservatively, it must be at least a masterpiece like "The End of the Road" and "Mulholland Road". Staring in such a work is undoubtedly a great luck for actors like them.

Taking a step back, even if Xia Tian’s new work is a piece of shit, they will not suffer any loss.

After two years of dormant in summer and returning to the mountain, it will definitely become the focus of world attention. Participating in his new work will be an excellent opportunity for exposure for them and will be of great benefit to boosting popularity.

Besides, Xia Tian is a Hollywood film tycoon after all, and even if this movie fails, he will not fall into being without filming.

Now that we have a good relationship with him, are you still afraid that we will not have any resources in the future?!
