Chapter 294 Time Is on Our Side!
"Oh, oh..."
In the Xingchen Academy.
There was a cheer inside Xingchen Animation Company.
Although they had cheered once before when the domestic market was hot.
But now "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" is popular in various countries and has become a phenomenal work.
It makes them feel proud.
After all, for so many years, the domestic Internet has been holding back.
The Chinese heritage has been about 5,000 years, but the cultural dissemination is far less than that of the island country.
Even in many cases, it is not as good as the Han country.
It is obviously the eldest brother, but it seems to have less cultural presence than the younger brother.
It really makes people feel uncomfortable.
And now.
Their works have made more young people around the world pay attention to Chinese mythology and understand Chinese mythology.
This naturally brings them a great sense of pride.
This sense of pride makes them feel that the drawing board they use for painting has a bit more sacredness.
But such a good start also brings them a lot of pressure.
After all, the start is so hot.
If it wilts halfway, it will be even more embarrassing.
This pressure made them more attentive when making the next episodes.
The production team even contacted the students in the security class and asked them to be part-time action instructors.
Invite professionals to cover up.
It can make the action scenes they produce more smooth, and also promote Chinese martial arts.
They originally wanted to ask the famous Zhang Shucheng to help.
Unfortunately, this guy seemed a little lazy and thought it was too troublesome to turn him down.
However, Zhang Shucheng recommended a classmate named Wu Yue.
He said he was the strongest in their security class and had the best talent.
The great master, Mr. Ma, liked this student named Wu Yue very much.
He regarded him as a closed disciple and often gave him special treatment.
It is said that Wu Yue has learned Hunyuan Xingyi Tai Chi, and Lightning Nine Whips is also said to be learning.
At first, everyone was a little skeptical.
But when the other party was invited and demonstrated on the spot, his level was indeed extraordinary.
He could easily suppress three boys.
The explanations of various fighting ideas, tactics, and actions also benefited the students of the production team.
The students were obviously looking forward to Chinese martial arts.
They all ran over to watch.
Luffy also watched from a distance, but he felt a little regretful.
It was a pity that there were no female students in the security class, otherwise he could refer to the figure of female martial arts masters...
The success of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" also made Luffy happy.
Needless to say, there are high bonuses and holidays.
The academy will definitely not treat them unfairly.
What Luffy cares about most is the sense of sharing that makes him satisfied.
In simple terms, it is to share something you think is good with others.
If the other party accepts it and likes it, the person who shares it will have a sense of accomplishment.
The production of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" successfully promoted the Chinese mythology, which made Luffy feel very accomplished.
This made Luffy hesitate about graduating soon.
He was a little reluctant to leave the academy.
In fact, Luffy felt that designing anime characters in the company of the academy was a bit unsatisfying.
After all, it was a normal or even youth-oriented animation.
The clothing, figure, movements, etc. of female characters should not be too revealing, and they should be restrained when designing.
Otherwise, Luffy felt that he could make female characters more outstanding.
This situation made Luffy always feel that his strength was not fully utilized.
But after leaving the academy, it would be difficult to get this sense of accomplishment again.
After all, it would be difficult for him to have the opportunity to participate in the creation of a big production like the Sleeping Sage.
He couldn't promote Chinese culture to the world's porn lovers in an adult anime, right?
Although it was not impossible.
But it was too abrupt, and it was easy to reveal the vest and guess the identity.
After all, most people who promote Chinese culture are Chinese.
Combined with his own painting style.
The possibility of the vest being stripped off was too high.
Luffy didn't want to die socially.
So after hesitating for a long time, Luffy had a bold idea in his mind.
That is, after graduation, he could choose to stay in school...
In this way, he would not have to leave Xingchen Academy.
I can also feel proud when my students draw excellent and influential works.
I can also guide their creation when I have nothing to do.
Besides, the teachers at Xingchen Academy don’t have much work to do.
Not only do they work from 9 to 5, but they also have weekends and winter and summer vacations.
I will have a lot of personal time to draw my own works.
And being a teacher also gives me a high social status and a strong sense of identity.
My parents will also think that I have made a difference.
As for the family company, it will be inherited by my sister, so it won’t be a big problem.
The more Luffy thinks about it, the more he thinks that staying in school is a good idea.
As for whether he can stay in school?
Luffy thinks there will be no problem.
His level of designing female anime characters is not exaggerated.
Luffy is very confident that even some teachers may not know more about this than he does.
Chen Zhenwei can stay in school.
Why can’t I?
There will be no problem.
The principal will definitely be very happy to know that a talent like me chooses to stay in school!
…
The next time.
The discussion of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" has always been very high.
Netizens complained that the time interval between episodes a week was too long, but they were looking forward to the update of the second episode.
However, just before the release of the second episode of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening".
Netizens' attention was attracted by another drama.
Marvel has been preheating for a long time. The popular villain in "Thor 4", the God Butcher Gorr, was released a full month in advance.
This Marvel single-player animation has a total of ten episodes.
It tells the story of God Butcher Thor slaughtering the gods and desolating the entire universe because of the loss of his beloved daughter before coming to Earth.
Netizens have always had high expectations for this drama.
After all, God Butcher Gorr is definitely one of the top villains in the Marvel series.
He is very popular.
So once it was released, it immediately attracted the attention of countless Marvel fans.
And the quality of the work is needless to say.
After all, Disney's production capabilities have been tested by the market and there is no need to worry about it.
In addition, the work was launched simultaneously around the world, and three episodes were released as soon as it was launched.
The popularity brought by it instantly overwhelmed "Lü Dongbin: Awakening".
It caused heated discussions on global social platforms.
Even in China, it was no exception.
Because "God Slayer Prequel" was updated globally at the same time.
Pirated copies also began to circulate on the domestic Internet, with excellent clarity and Chinese subtitles.
This surprised domestic Marvel fans.
While watching the show, I guessed which subtitle group was so awesome that it came up with subtitles so quickly.
And there were subtitles for all three episodes.
Some netizens even began to suspect that there was an insider in the subtitle group who had infiltrated Disney and made the subtitles in advance.
In short, netizens were attracted by God Slayer for a while.
Therefore, the popularity of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" updated at 8 o'clock that night plummeted.
The number of views of the second episode in China within one hour barely reached 20 million.
Compared with the first broadcast, the performance has declined by much.
And it is similar abroad.
The popularity and the number of views have dropped to one-fifth of the previous level.
Obviously.
Most of the netizens' attention has been attracted by "The God Slayer Prequel".
This cliff-like drop in performance.
The students who were originally excited are a little worried.
The executives of Xingchen Animation Company are also a little bit on edge.
After all, it is really unusual for Disney to release the scheduled works in advance.
It feels like a deliberate targeting.
When the executives came to Ye Chen's office to report, they found that Ye Chen was leaning in front of the computer watching anime.
And the anime they were watching was Disney's "The God Slayer Prequel".
This...
Before the executives spoke, Ye Chen knew what the executives were going to say.
Pausing the screen and motioning the executives to sit down, Ye Chen chuckled and said: "This is deliberate targeting! Disney is suppressing us."
Previously, Disney chose to stop cooperating with Xingchen Academy and sold its shares because of the story of the Sleeping Immortal.
And now the first work of the Sleeping Immortal series is officially online.
As a result, Disney's anime series was also brought forward at the same time.
The most outrageous thing is that within less than an hour, pirated copies of the Chinese subtitles were circulated in China.
Ye Chen also saw the level of the subtitles, and the translation was very good.
Many English lines were very charming and artistic after being translated into Chinese.
This quality is not something that can be rushed.
So it is obvious that this is a pirated version deliberately released by Disney.
Anyway, this drama cannot be broadcast online in China.
Throwing out pirated copies will not cause any loss to their interests, and it can also accumulate fans for the Marvel series.
The most important thing is that it can suppress the popularity of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" and squeeze out attention.
And now it seems that the other party's goal is obviously successful.
After all, the Sleeping Immortal series has just started, and it is far inferior to Marvel in terms of influence and number of fans.
Seeing that the principal knew the situation, the executives were a little worried: "Principal, Disney seems to really regard us as a threat. Suppression must not be just once. The other party is large in scale. If they just take out a few works to compete with us, they can divide the attention of our works, which will have a huge impact on our development."
Ye Chen nodded when he heard this.
What the executive said makes sense.
In the same time period, two popular dramas will inevitably affect each other.
Just like a movie, if there is no competitor, the box office may be 400 million or 500 million.
But if there is a rival, then the box office may only be 200 million or 300 million.
The loss here is real.
And Disney is undoubtedly a giant.
If the other party continues to deliberately target us, the development speed of Xingchen Animation Company will be slowed down a lot.
But Ye Chen did not have any worries.
"The other party deliberately changed the schedule to suppress us, which did affect us, but it will also have a lot of negative impact on the performance of their works."
"In short, the other party relies on its wealth and rich background, so it chooses to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of its own."
"But the problem is that there is a gap between us and Disney."
"We may develop slowly because of this, but Disney has been targeting us like this, and their losses are actually greater, which can help us shorten the gap."
"Besides, I have confidence in my students."
"The most important thing for cultural works is quality. As long as the quality meets the standards, even if the results are not as good as expected, it will not be difficult to make a profit."
"As long as the Sleeping Immortal series maintains healthy development, it can still grow."
"And in another two or three years, when the number of employees at Xingchen Animation Company will increase, and the output will increase, we will have more works on hand."
"At the same time, the film and television major will be opened next year, and maybe we can start filming the live-action version of the Sleeping Immortal series by then."
"At that point, it's time for us to fight back against Disney."
"When the other party's important dramas and movies are released, we compete with them at the same time."
"If you do this, it will obviously cause the other party to suffer greater losses."
"After all, the other party could have earned more."
"Especially if the other party is a listed company, if the box office and popularity of the works are not as good as market expectations one after another, the stock price will inevitably plummet!"
"The other party has far more to worry about than we do."
"We are not afraid of making less money, and we are not afraid of slow development. After all, time is on our side."
"In this case, they are the ones who are worried."
"When they realize that suppressing us is useless."
"They are the ones begging for a ceasefire."
Marven didn't pay much attention to Disney's suppression.
It’s nothing more than earning more and earning less.
As long as the quality is good, it will still be popular.
Just a little slower.
Ye Chen had already corrected his mentality and knew that building a star paradise would not be something he could accumulate overnight.
So I'm not in a hurry.
And Ye Chen's calm attitude also made the executives feel relieved.
My principal's mentality is so stable, so why should I be nervous?
Immediately, the executives quickly said goodbye and left to hold a meeting with the students, so that the students would not have their work status affected by the Disney incident.
Ye Chen himself continued to click on the video.
But most of my thoughts are not on the plot.
Instead, he started thinking about another thing.
That was the commercial suppression, and it really started.
As long as the interests of others are touched, competition will inevitably occur.
Now it's just a Disney, so it's not a big problem.
After all, it is impossible for the beautiful country to start sanctioning Star Academy just because of a mere animation or film and television field.
The size of the market is just that, so it won't be suppressed.
But the thing is, this is just the beginning.
A beautiful country is essentially a collection of countless capitals.
They serve the beautiful country's capital expansion from top to bottom.
Because the capital of the beautiful country has expanded, it means that the influence of the beautiful country has become greater.
The beautiful country can rely on these resources to easily sanction any country or company.
Their essence is that they complement each other.
So Ye Chen knows that Disney's current vigilance and suppression is just the beginning.
As Stars Academy touches the interests of more and more capital in the future.
In the future, Star Academy will no longer face just a certain company.
But the entire capital complex.
This is inevitable.
But even if he could predict this, Ye Chen didn't feel any nervous in his heart.
In the 21st century, the most important thing is actually talent.
Star Academy, on the other hand, can cultivate the high-quality talents it needs within three years if it is needed.
Therefore, in the future, even if Star Academy encounters sanctions, bottlenecks, prohibition of cooperation, etc., it will not be a big problem.
If you don't cooperate, then I will do it myself.
As long as you invest a lot of money in exchange for related majors.
It will take up to three years to establish the entire industry chain.
Even more technologically advanced.
As for banning sales or something, that's even more ridiculous.
As long as your product is irreplaceable, the other party is in urgent need of it.
No matter how harsh your conditions are, the other party will still have to hold their noses and admit it.
Anyway, Star Academy has enough confidence and is not afraid of the beautiful country's sanctions.
So, there is a problem, but it’s not a big problem!
