Chapter 295: All-Round Suppression! Fearless of Everything!

Disney's suppression will not change Xingchen Animation Company's original development plan.

The interns of the Xiaomao Zhouzhou team had already produced the first three seasons of Xiaomao Zhouzhou at the end of the previous semester.

They started to produce the Xiaomao Zhouzhou movie.

Before the New Year, the students traveled to Shanghai on public funds and lived there for a whole month.

They ate, drank, and had fun there.

Each student has a different way of accumulating materials.

Some go to the old city, visit the alleys with the atmosphere of time, and talk about the past and life with the older generation of Shanghai people.

Some students stay in the most prosperous urban circle, take the initiative to make friends with young people, and understand the lives of young people.

Some people rely on the identity of Xingchen students to work as temporary security guards in high-end communities, see how the rich people in Shanghai live, what the children in Shanghai play and learn.

Observe different Shanghai lives from different perspectives.

Each student's choice is different, but the accumulated materials are extremely rich.

So the script is created quickly.

And because it is a children's animation.

The picture and plot are simple enough.

So the production process is also very fast.

It is expected to be completed as scheduled in May.

It will be released online on Children's Day on June 1st, which is not a problem.

As for the Sleeping Immortal production team, in addition to the students who are producing the follow-up content of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening".

A special animation film group has been established to prepare for the big movie project.

After the production of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" is completed, it will start production immediately.

Try to catch up with this year's New Year's file.

However, there was a small problem with the comic production team.

Originally, comics and animations were produced simultaneously with the same content.

After all, comics can express more details because of the text.

But it may be that in modern life, the whole world has entered a fast-paced era.

People who have watched anime will never watch comics with similar content but more details again.

Unless they are true fans.

Otherwise, they will definitely not bother to turn over.

So compared with the popularity of animation.

The performance of comics is not good.

Xingchen Animation Company made a prompt decision and adjusted its direction after discovering the problem.

The reason for the mistake was also found.

For most works, comics come first and then animations, with a long gap in between.

They do not conflict with each other.

But the company's own Xingchen Animation Company simultaneously releases comics and animations, which makes comics seem meaningless.

It is a complete waste of human resources within the company.

So after discussion.

The Sleeping Immortal Comics Group cut off the comics of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" and started preparing pre-movie comics.

In the new comics, the story of Lü Dongbin before his reincarnation will be told in detail, and he will continue to sleep and wake up after the Tang Dynasty, and what he has experienced in various dynasties.

So that the audience can understand why Lü Dongbin's nature has become indifferent and emotionless.

Make the image of the protagonist more three-dimensional.

In addition, in the content of the comics, there will be some immortals and villains who will appear later.

It is considered a prequel comic.

Lay the foundation for the entire Sleeping Immortal series.

It also warms up for the Lu Dongbin movie in the New Year file.

In this way, through various forms of expression, the worldview of the entire Sleeping Immortal series is enriched and perfected.

It is of great benefit to the development of this IP.

It can cover a wider range of people.

At the same time, it can also avoid the situation where no one reads comics because the plots of comics and animations are the same.

Ye Chen, on his side, was also surprised after learning about this situation.

After the film and television major is opened in the next academic year.

When shooting live-action movies and TV series, the plot must not copy the story of animation, but should shoot a new story.

Otherwise, it will not bring freshness to the audience, which will inevitably have a huge impact on the performance of the work.

In addition.

Xingchen Animation Company has also made internal adjustments.

A creative department has been opened.

The creative department is basically screenwriters.

Responsible for collecting inspiration and thinking about new animation projects.

New projects will be voted internally.

If the approval rate is greater than 70%, a group will be set up to officially start the project.

The establishment of a separate creative department has a very good effect.

The new department was established only a few days ago.

A screenwriter intern proposed an interesting new children's animation project.

That is to make a children's animation with dogs as the theme.

Different from the daily children's cartoons like Little Cat Zhou Zhou.

This dog children's cartoon has a more exciting plot.

A little boy is a super inventor.

He adopted six talking dogs and used his inventive ability to create magical transportation for these dogs.

The dogs can help the residents of the town with these magical tools.

As for the name?

It is temporarily named Paw Patrol.

As soon as this project came out, it quickly won everyone's recognition.

After all, children nowadays like cute animals.

A group of cute and helpful dogs will definitely be loved by children.

Moreover, various transportation tools belonging to dogs are also suitable for selling toys.

After all, the main profit direction of most cartoons nowadays is selling toys.

This work seems to have a very good market prospect.

The teacher even asked the students how they came up with such a children's cartoon.

And the student's answer was very simple.

That is, he doesn't like cats, but dogs more.

Nowadays, cats have become popular because of the animation of Xiaomao Zhouzhou.

It is said that the domestic and foreign pet markets have seen a surge in cat sales due to the popularity of their own animations.

As a dog lover, I can't bear to see cats so popular.

Dogs must also stand up and be welcomed by everyone...

It is our duty to restore the glory of dogs.

...

The days that followed.

Disney's "God Butcher Prequel" is quite popular around the world.

It is quite popular among Marvel fans.

But the popularity of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" that was suppressed at the beginning has also slowly increased.

In the end, it basically maintained a domestic single episode playback volume of 20 million.

The playback volume abroad can exceed 30 million.

Although it can't be compared with when it was first launched.

But at that time, the popularity was too high, resulting in a high water content.

Many people just took a look when they were bored.

Now that it has stabilized, it is the real achievement of Lü Dongbin Awakening.

However, both at home and abroad, the ratings of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" are much higher than "God Slayer".

Obviously, the plot of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" is better.

The production and character design are also top-notch.

The reason why it cannot compete with God Slayer in terms of momentum is that Marvel has enough fans.

If the two sides continue to compete like this.

It is not certain who will win or lose in the future.

Even most netizens, including foreign netizens, are actually looking forward to the development of the Sleeping Immortal.

After all, the climax of the first Marvel movie has ended.

Everyone has watched it for so many years and is a little tired of it.

And the Sleeping Immortal series of Xingchen Animation Company has brought them a brand new story and perception.

It makes them curious about what kind of changes these oriental gods have brought to the modern technological world.

So, although Marvel is larger and has more fans.

But whether in terms of expectations or word of mouth, it is farther away from "Lü Dongbin: Awakening".

This made the president of Disney look particularly gloomy.

Judging from the market reaction, their own God Slayer should have won.

But if we consider it comprehensively, the performance of the God Slayer is only slightly better than that of Lü Dongbin: Awakening, despite the huge fan base of Marvel.

And the reputation and expectations are far behind.

It is no exaggeration to say that it has lost.

This makes the president of Disney more vigilant of Star Animation Company.

He sat on his desk, looking at the information, tapping the table lightly with his index finger.

"Will the movie of Mao Mao Zhou Zhou be launched in June?"

"The movie of Lü Dongbin be launched in the New Year?"

"The production speed is really fast!"

Such a basic schedule is not a secret within Star Animation Company.

Internal shareholders and partners will be notified in advance to facilitate pre-promotion and preheating.

So the president of Disney can also know.

Sniper, must be sniper.

This is already the case with an animated series.

If Star Academy succeeds in the field of animated films in the future.

The impact on Disney will be even greater.

"Toy Story 5 will be released globally on June 1st."

"As for the Chinese New Year schedule, Hearts of Iron will be postponed and released globally at the same time."

When the order from the president of Disney was issued to the company.

It caused an uproar in the company.

Toy Story 5, this was a popular animated film many years ago. Now it is restarted and is highly valued within the company.

Now it is actually changing the schedule to snipe a mere children's animated film?

As for Hearts of Iron, that goes without saying.

This is a personal movie launched by Marvel for a new hero.

It is also the biggest production of this year.

It was supposed to be released on Christmas, but it was used to snipe Lu Dongbin...

Isn't this a bit too much of a joke?

Xingchen Animation Company is just a new company after all.

How can it be valued so much by its own company?

However, the president's attitude was extremely firm and was authorized by the board of directors.

No matter the cost, until Xingchen Animation Company gave up the production of the Sleeping Immortal series.

And the publicity from Disney also made ordinary people outside see that something was wrong.

After all, it was strange that the God Butcher suddenly went online ahead of schedule.

Now even big productions like "Toy Story 5" and "Hearts of Iron" have been rescheduled.

It is definitely not for no reason.

And soon, industry insiders explained the reason clearly on the forum.

When it was understood that Disney was deliberately suppressing Xingchen Animation Company, all netizens were shocked...

Although everyone agrees with the students of Xingchen College's animation major.

They believe that Xingchen Animation Company has a promising future.

But Xingchen Animation Company is only a company that has been established for only half a year.

And what about Disney?

This is definitely the world's largest film and television giant.

From animation to live-action dramas, everything is available.

The overall market value has reached an astonishing 1.1 trillion yuan.

It is really a bit outrageous that such a giant can suppress a new company like this.

But everyone can see the facts.

This makes netizens a little worried about Xingchen Animation Company.

They also feel more and more that Xingchen College is incredible.

After all, Xingchen Animation Company is full of junior students from Xingchen College.

A group of companies that use junior students as employees can be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of global film and television giants.

This can also be regarded as a kind of recognition from a giant.

This shows how terrifying Star Academy’s ability to cultivate talents is.

The news spread like wildfire.

But in foreign countries, most people only think of it as ordinary business competition, so overall the response is not great.

But it's different in the country.

Star Film and Television Company was targeted, which made the Chinese people even more dissatisfied.

Because this is too much.

The development of the domestic film and television industry has actually been worse than that of foreign countries.

Now there is finally a company that can provide everyone with high-quality spiritual ingredients and promote the spread of Chinese culture.

As a result, Disney has begun to suppress you?

It's really a bit much.

Being suppressed by such a giant will definitely have a huge impact on a film and television company.

Not to mention anything else, just that the movie will be released at the same time.

It will inevitably bring huge losses to the box office of Xingchen Animation Company's movies.

After all, there are only so many viewers at a certain time.

Most viewers will basically only watch one movie.

The first few "Toy Story" movies were particularly popular and had countless fans, so they naturally attracted more viewers.

Naturally, the audience for Star Academy movies will decrease and the box office will decrease.

If this continues for a long time.

Star Animation Company's investment cannot get a satisfactory return, or even lose money.

Naturally, we cannot continue making it.

By then, Star Animation Company may really give up the Sleeping Immortal series.

Or even disband it completely, allowing students to enter other companies in the industry.

"It feels really suspenseful. I didn't like the movie "Little Cat Porridge" at first. An animated movie for children has a very small audience. Moreover, "Mao Porridge" itself is just one five-minute story after another. , it doesn’t feel interesting to make a movie.”

"I think so too. The kitten porridge must be cold. Although Lu Dongbin's Awakening is excellent, the audience for animated movies is inherently lower than that of live-action movies. It will definitely be suppressed by "Hearts of Steel", and the future is worrying!"

"This is the scary thing about Disney. The opponent has too many cards to play. I feel that no matter how strong Star Academy's production capabilities are, they will be completely suppressed."

"It's a pity... I quite like the Sleeping Immortal series. I have been looking forward to who the second immortal will be. Now it seems that it will be difficult to sit down for the Sleeping Immortal."

"Disney is really nothing. I have decided never to watch Disney movies again."

"When we gather together, we are like a ball of fire. When we disperse, we are filled with stars. If Xingchen students are so outstanding, after they go to other animation companies, they will definitely make the entire industry in China rise in strength. In a decade or so, maybe we will be able to compete with Disney in China." An arm-wrestling company.”

On the Internet, there is basically a pessimistic mood.

Not many people are optimistic about Xingchen Animation Company.

After all, the strength gap between the two sides is too big.

Disney has too many top-notch IPs in its hands. No matter what you, Star Animation Company, can do, you can launch works that are more popular and popular than yours.

Any film and television company in the country that is targeted in this way will probably be left in the cold.

…

But compared to the anger and concern on the Internet.

Among the animation companies within Star Academy, things are quite peaceful.

The students already knew they were being targeted by Disney when "God Killer" was rescheduled for release.

Nowadays, two major movies are being targeted, which can only be said to be reasonable.

The students were naturally a little uneasy because they were targeted by Disney.

But he wasn't too panicked.

Instead, they are motivated by the pessimistic views of netizens online.

The fighting spirit inspired is even stronger.

Disney is indeed a giant, starting from a Mickey Mouse, to a princess series, and now to a market capitalization of over one trillion yuan.

It is indeed the most terrifying existence among film and television companies.

But we are students of Star Academy.

The college provides us with the best teachers.

Provide us with the best learning environment.

Provided us with top-notch jobs.

Under such circumstances, why should Disney suppress us and we can’t do it?

on the contrary.

We must succeed and slap Disney hard in the face.
