Chapter 850 The Situation at Shanghai Mei Film Studio!

The intellectuals of this era, especially before the 1990s, are still very different from the intellectuals of later generations.

This can be seen from their dress, conversation, etc.

Tewei and Yan Ding have not seen a big man like Mr. Yang visit the Shanghai American Film Studio for a long time. They are excited about Mr. Yang's arrival.

At this time, when they saw Mr. Yang in front of them, they greeted Mr. Yang with great enthusiasm and respect.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, the entire Shanghai American Film Studio welcomes you to inspect."

"Hello, Director Te."

Yang Ming and Tewei and Yan Ding shook hands separately, and then Te Wei introduced to Yang Ming that the people around him who greeted him were all talents from the Shanghai American Film Studio, and they were not simple.

Yang Ming shook hands with them one by one, and the group went inside the Shanghai American Film Studio.

In his previous life, Yang Ming had seen cartoons from the Shanghai American Film Studio, such as "Black Cat Sheriff", "Calabash Brothers", "The Book of Heaven", etc.

Some of the impressions are still quite deep, and some of them he has forgotten now after watching them.

Zai Tewei and others enthusiastically took Yang Ming to inspect the current situation of Shanghai Film Studio.

From 1950, the earliest animation production began until now in 1983. In fact, many animations have been produced, and most of them are still of very high standards.

This is why Shanghai Film Studio participated in international selections and won so many awards, and Japanese cartoonists were also affected a lot.

However.

Why can't Chinese cartoons develop?

If you want to talk about the reason?

I'm afraid it will take a long time to finish.

In Yang Ming's opinion, the most critical point.

Market.

Japanese comics, even cartoons, are not achieved overnight.

Instead, they are completed one by one.

Like before the 1970s.

Many cartoonists in Japan can't support themselves, and most cartoonists will starve to death if they rely on comics.

After the 1980s, the Japanese comics industry chain is becoming more and more mature.

From individual comic authors to publishers, publishers publish comic books through weekly magazines, and then cooperate with Japanese TV stations to become animations. With the help of TV stations, comics are more popular, and more derivatives begin to appear.

In addition.

Relying on the increasingly mature comic market in Japan, with a weekly comic weekly and a circulation of millions of copies, it is enough to support cartoonists and even publishers very well.

Not to mention the income from more derivatives.

What about China now?

The per capita income of most people in China is still too low, and there is no condition to support this market.

However, in Yang Ming's view, the domestic population is more than ten times that of Japan.

This means that this is a huge market with great potential.

With the further development of the domestic economy, the increase in per capita income, and the further satisfaction of material aspects, people will also pursue spiritual aspects.

Comics, even animations, are a very important spiritual pursuit.

Tewei, Yan Ding now introduces the achievements of Shanghai Mei Film Studio to Yang Ming, and Yang Ming listens carefully.

Yang Ming found that Shanghai Mei Film Studio is really good.

But where is the difference?

It is still related to the market and income.

Now looking at Tewei and others, Yang Ming knows that the income of Shanghai Mei Film Studio is really not high. This is a state-owned enterprise, and all the funds are allocated from above.

If you want to keep improving, especially in the case of an animation, you need to pay a lot of manpower, material resources, and even financial funds.

More investment in this aspect, on the other hand, even if there are products, there is no income.

Over time, a dead cycle has been formed.

Without income, these cultural people and intellectuals are afraid that they have no motivation.

They, even their families, have to live and spend money.

Then it means that the talent loss of Shanghai Mei Film Studio will be faster, and on the other hand, fewer and fewer talents will join.

In addition, under the fast-paced market economy in the future, if Shanghai Mei Film Studio does not form a reasonable model of input and output income, it will decline sooner or later.

This is why, after thirty or forty years in Yang Ming's previous life, he rarely heard of other good-looking animations from the Shanghai American Film Studio. They were basically works before the 1990s.

Yang Ming nodded from time to time, and sometimes asked about the current situation of the Shanghai American Film Studio.

Including their usual salary, etc.

Even people like Tewei only have a monthly salary of dozens of yuan.

A director of the Shanghai American Film Studio only has a monthly salary of dozens of yuan. This is something Yang Ming couldn't believe. He knew that the monthly salary in China was like this now.

If it were other ordinary employees, the monthly salary might be lower.

Then for these intellectuals, they may have paid a lot but didn't get any reward.

On the contrary.

In the East, like these people, according to different divisions of labor and different quality and efficiency benefits, the monthly salary is getting higher and higher in addition to the basic salary.

Yang Ming alone, a Japanese cartoonist in the Xiangjiang Second Dimension Company, is equivalent to the monthly salary of dozens of people here now.

Yang Ming didn't tell them about the monthly salary of those people, for fear that it would stimulate them.

Yang Ming felt that if Shangmei Film Studio wanted to avoid the decline it had experienced in the past, it must change as soon as possible. The original path would definitely not work.

In the future, when more and more private animation production companies emerge in China, the competitiveness of Shangmei Film Studio may not be as good as theirs.

In fact.

In 1986, Shangmei Film Studio, Zhugang Film Studio, and Xiangjiang Times Art Co., Ltd. jointly established Yangcheng Times Animation Company, marking the first step for Shangmei Film Studio to move towards marketization.

But in just four years, Times Animation Company went bankrupt and dissolved, and a large number of employees left. Unlike the comfort of the previous era, economic pressure began to put Shangmei Film Studio into crisis.

What does this show?

The Shangmei Film Studio in history also saw the problem, but when it made changes, it did not succeed, but instead accelerated the decline of Shangmei Film Studio.

Now, after Yang Ming finished watching, he has an idea.

In terms of the production level of Shangmei Film Studio, it is very good, not inferior to the East. The main reason why it is not market-oriented is that it has never faced real marketization before, and has no competitiveness. It relies entirely on grants and funds from above.

If a large number of Japanese animations flood into the domestic market, I am afraid that American film studios will not be challenged.
