Chapter 778 Struggle for Interests
In the days leading up to the Chinese New Year, Kylin TV’s “Oolong Yuan” animation has also started to be broadcast.
Don’t think that Kylin TV is taking advantage of it. In fact, they paid 30,000 Hong Kong dollars for an episode of “Oolong Court”.
Because the copyright and producer of "Oolong Court" are both Kirin Culture, Kirin TV cannot represent Kirin Culture. Although both companies are owned by Yin Jun, and Kirin Culture also includes Kirin TV, their respective accounts must be settled. Clearly, one code equals one code.
"Oolong Yuan" is broadcast globally, and judging from the results of the two days of broadcasting, it is quite good.
In addition to the huge support from people in Xiangjiang and Aomen, China Television in Baodao has set a new high in ratings after the broadcast. Many parents and children have requested that it be replayed during the day, preferably twice. all over.
Other places such as Japan, South Korea, etc. also responded very well. After all, they also have such a strong comic fan base.
Not to mention in mainland China, because there is a lack of everything in this era, including a lack of spiritual entertainment and life, so no matter what shit is shown on TV, people will watch it, let alone an animation like "Oolong Yuan" that is both educational and entertaining. piece.
Not only the children, but also the adults watched it with gusto and found it very interesting. The ratings easily reached over 70%. When Kylin TV found out about this data, they were really envious and jealous.
Some people who got rich first entrusted their friends to buy comic books in Xiangjiang!
That is to say, in some countries in Europe and America, the ratings can only be said to be good. It is on par with other cartoons they bought. It can be used as a broadcast program, but it can never be compared with the already popular "Transformers" .
"Transformers" was a killer during the summer and Christmas and New Year holidays. Many TV stations directly put "Transformers" in the 7 o'clock or 10 o'clock time slot because of the poor ratings of the TV series. As a result, it swept them all. Opponents make other competitors cry uncontrollably.
For Qilin Culture, the overall value of "Oolong Yuan" is indeed inferior to "Transformers".
Not only cartoons, but also the crazy-selling Transformers toys, it’s not surprising to list them individually.
"Transformers" is so crazy, even "Tomb Raider", which is said to be an animated movie recently, is still far behind.
Naturally, Yin Jun will not tell everyone that the real craziness of "Transformers" has not yet come!
In the next 40 years, the production value of "Transformers" will actually be the highest among all comics industries, whether it is "Superman", "Spider-Man", "Batman", "Iron Man" or "X-War" "Police" series, "Avengers" series, etc. are all inferior to "Transformers".
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as he holds the copyright brand of "Transformers", even if all of Yin Jun's industries collapse, Yin Jun can become a rich man with a net worth of billions of dollars.
Of course, Yin Jun will definitely not be able to walk on one foot. With all those comics, as long as he has the chance, he will create a series of brands.
For example, the game version of Tomb Raider, which will be launched recently, is very popular, and the first major movie is also very amazing.
If the production company hadn't committed suicide and delegated power to Angelina, an idiot woman, and made a mess of the second film, maybe it could have become the second "Resident Evil", even better than "Resident Evil" Brilliant - the male version of King of Adventures "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has been filming for nearly 40 years and still hasn't ended. There is no reason why the female version of King of Adventures should be so different!
Thinking of Angelina, this idiot woman, Yin Jun also reminded himself that when he went to Hollywood to make movies, he must remind his subordinates that all those who are unfriendly to China should get out. I didn't give people money, make them famous, and then watch them. It’s your hobby to turn away and curse your motherland.
If you want to make a "Tomb Raider" animated film, you can't just rely on the artists and animators on hand. They have tried their best to make "Transformers" catch up.
Chang Chuanxi could not wait to add 100 people to them to make the picture quality more detailed and the plot smoother.
If you also say that you want to redeploy manpower, I guess Lao Chang will definitely have to get angry with Yin Jun and give up the burden before going back.
Therefore, Yin Jun and Chang Huanxi have already discussed that when they return a group of people this month, Shanghai Art Film Studio will mobilize 40 more people, and then add the Central Academy of Fine Arts and Hua Guo Film Studio. The Academy of Fine Arts will recruit about 100 more students, and this group of extra novices will slowly hone in on and produce "Tomb Raider".
Yin Jun now has enough money and no longer has to rely on "Tomb Raider" to seize the market and make money, so the more refined he is, the better.
Students at the Academy of Fine Arts, well, in this era, it is no exaggeration to say that after selection, every one of them will be a talented person. After 30 years, they will be enough to become the backbone and backbone of an animation production company.
As long as they can survive more than five years in Qilin Culture, they will truly become Asia's top talents.
After five years of studying and working in the United States, and improving their vision and skills, they will become world-class talents.
Not to mention the future.
After Disney becomes his own company, Yin Jun will immediately send a group of artists and animators from Qilin Culture to study, and then at the same time invite a few elites there to guide them in animation production.
It’s not that the elites at Shangmei Factory are much worse than those at Disney.
It’s just that the concepts and ideas between the two are very different.
When it comes to making art, Disney’s masters can’t even compare to the masters of art studios.
But on the other hand, when it comes to commercial animation, the masters at Shangmei Factory can’t even see the tail of Disney’s masters.
Only by letting the masters of Shangmei Factory learn more from the international business experience of making telephone calls can they play a better role in the future.
As for their ideal of making artistic animated films, there is no problem at all. Once you become famous, you can take the time to make a few films.
Just like Spielberg, Bombshell and other super directors, after they have completed a huge commercial film, the film company has to agree to invest in art films for them. You don't have to ask about the box office. Anyway, this is what I like to do.
Qilin Culture is here eagerly waiting to increase its manpower, but they don't know that there is another surprise waiting for them.
At this time, Shanghai is full of lively New Year atmosphere everywhere, but only inside the Shanghai Art Film Studio, there is a "dark cloud" hanging over it.
Speaking of dark clouds, it’s actually not that big of a deal. Directors, deputy directors, and others from several film studios came to visit a few old men and build relationships. At the same time, they also met with several current leaders of Shangmei Factory. "Playing" or "crying", please support me.
The animators in Xinghua Kingdom are actually one family.
For example, the foundation of Shangmei Factory is the animation department of Northeast Film Studio. Four old men from Wanjia worked there when they were young.
After the Northeast Film Studio ceased operations, the remaining people were merged into the Changchun Film Studio.
China's first animated film "Puppet Man" was produced by Changchun Film Studio. Many of their elites were later transferred to Shangmei Film Studio, and the two companies have the closest relationship.
There is also Huajing Science and Education Film Studio. This factory also has an animation department. Although it does not produce many animations, it is still a team. At the beginning, Mr. Te, Mr. Wan, etc. all went to guide them. Now The director of their animation department is also Mr. Tewei’s protégé.
Tired and scared of being forced by them, a group of leaders of Shangmei Factory and their seniors gathered together for a meeting to discuss what to do.
In fact, things are not that complicated. When the two film studios saw that Shangmei Film Studio was now cooperating with Xiangjiang businessmen and making a lot of money, they thought that we are all brothers, and you can’t make money to death. We are here. You're so hungry that you can't even drink porridge, right?
"I think the demand from Yin Jun is huge anyway. We will send 70 people there this time, and they can only make one more cartoon. Why not give these two factories a chance." Wan Sanye said. He suggested, "They are not big anyway, they can pick out 20 people at most, so what does it matter?"
"You can't say that, my third master!" Yan Dingxian said with a wry smile, "Our factory now has almost 500 people, and so many new people have been recruited. Our job is already more than enough. This is a great opportunity for us to send people there and get another cartoon to make! Why should we give these benefits to others?"
"Yes, they will do it a second time. Once they get familiar with each other, they can introduce people themselves without our recommendation." A deputy director said, "Even though they don't have many people now, try it out." After the sweetness is achieved, they can expand their enrollment on a large scale! One pancake is enough for us, but if there are more, we won’t be able to eat enough!"
"You are too narrow-minded to say that!" Tewei frowned, "Is it a good thing that we are the only one in China making cartoons? Mao Zedong said that only by letting a hundred flowers bloom can we enrich the entertainment life of the masses. Only by constantly Only competition will make us progress. If we only do it by ourselves, then there will be no motivation without pressure, and how can we develop?"
Seeing the old man lose his temper, Yan Dingxian and several deputy factory directors did not dare to speak anymore.
Tewei is not only their old leader, but also half of their teacher. He is also a highly respected senior. In China, in this era, if you don't respect your teachers, you will basically be scolded to death. of.
"Actually, there is no solution." Hu Yi, deputy director of the animation department, coughed lightly, "As the old men said, we are all brothers in the unit, and there is almost no upper limit on the number of people Qilin Culture needs, so We can help them recommend them. But we can agree with Qilin Culture in advance that no matter how things change in the future, our Shanghai Art Factory will have the only initiative to cooperate in the mainland. In other words, only we can recommend artists and animators. In the past, they were not allowed to have direct contact with other factories.”
"Hey, your method is great!" Yan Dingxian's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
As long as we have the power of recommendation in our hands, no matter what if we give them more places, or if they expand the scale, then we still have to do things based on our own faces?
"What's so good? Form a clique and pretend to be the boss everywhere!" Uncle Wan retorted directly.
Now Yan Dingxian could only lower his head again.
"Well, don't be angry, Lao Wan. I think this is a kind of compromise. After all, we are the most professional." Tewei said thoughtfully, "They are right. If we expand blindly, we will be wrong." The animation and art industry in China is not a good thing. If we can be a leader in the industry and actively encourage them to develop correctly, maybe we can cultivate more good talents."
"Brother, I think what Lao Te said is right." Wan Erye said, "After all, we are still the most professional in this aspect. Are there any lessons learned in the past? When you see the benefits, you rush in and end up giving away all the good industries. If it’s smashed, no one will be able to eat in the end.”
"Yes, brother, we can consider this." Fourth Master Wan also said, "At most, a few of us can help check things in, so that we won't treat them badly."
"yes."
Yan Dingxian hurriedly made a promise, "Uncle, in the future, our factory team's conclusion will not count on this matter. In the end, you guys will be affected, please help make the final decision!"
Seeing that everyone said this, and that there was indeed some truth to it, Uncle Wan pondered for a while and finally nodded.
"Then try to do it for three years first. If it doesn't work, quit. We can withstand the pain of such changes."
The old man expressed his position like this.
Yan Dingxian let out a long breath.
It was an unexpected surprise to get such a benefit.
In fact, he initially planned to reject the two factories.
But then I thought about it, if they ate too much while eating alone, then these two families would report it to the Ministry of Culture above, and the ministry would definitely put pressure on them to give up some of their profits.
Although he could use Yin Jun as a shield, if he said it like this, his reputation would be too bad.
In the end, Hu Yi asked Chang Juanxi, and Chang Juanxi asked Yin Jun. Yin Jun gave the idea, and finally it was Hu Yi who spoke it out.
Therefore, Yan Dingxian was not worried at all that Yin Juntong would not agree to let Shangmei Factory take the lead, because this idea was given by Yin Jun.
In this way, Shangmei Factory gets the maximum profit and can become the real leader in the domestic industry. There are many benefits!
How could Yin Jun be so smart?
What he and others had been worrying about for many days was solved by him in just a few words, and all the old men looked very satisfied. That was really not easy!
Genius is indeed a genius!
