Chapter 133 0132: Really Hard-Talking (1)
Dreams are out of reach, should we give up?
Jiang Ge certainly won’t.
I had no dreams that night, and returned to Hangzhou the next day.
In the afternoon, I received a sample of “Year Hare Affair” from Niubi Animation Studio.
It is the first episode of the first season, which is 10 minutes long.
It is quite long.
I remember that the average length of each episode in the original version was only seven and a half minutes. If the two-minute ending song is deducted, the main film is actually only more than five minutes.
Jiang Ge clicked play and started watching.
The sample has no dubbing, but subtitles and soundtracks have.
When watching it, it feels a bit strange, but it does not affect the inspection of quality.
The animation technology of Niubi Animation Studio is among the best in China. The picture fully expresses every word and sentence in the script, and there is no need to modify it.
“It’s just the dubbing that’s missing.”
A few days ago, Mo Lan contacted several well-known dubbing studios in China and got the dubbing samples of their dubbing actors.
Jiang Ge was busy with Qin Shiyue and Lin Yu's new albums and had no time to choose. Now that he was almost done, he opened another email and listened to the audios one by one.
"Damn rabbit, I can't handle it!"
...
"Keep a low profile, make a fortune in silence, make a fortune in silence!"
...
"What's the hurry? Will you fight if you go? Don't go. For the peace of mankind, for the stability of the rivers and lakes, for the world's harmony, to deal with the little bastards, and to punish the disobedient Korean ginseng, let Jin Juzhu be perfect! Amen!"
...
Three dubbing studios, a total of 60 audios.
After listening to it, Jiang Ge wanted to recall the original version, and then compare it with the one that was closer.
As a result, he couldn't remember what the original version was like, and finally he could only decide based on his feelings.
Then look at the specific information of the audio. Wow, the 20 dubbings of Qingyue Dubbing Studio, including 10 characters such as Rabbit, Baldy, Eagle Sauce, etc., were completed by two people.
Otherwise, why do people say "voice actors are all monsters"? Can you imagine that Usopp from One Piece, Inuyasha from Inuyasha, L from Death Note, Kudo Shinichi from Detective Conan, and Saotome Ranma from Ranma 1/2 are all voiced by the same voice actor?
Of course, if you see their real people and then look back at the character images and voices, it will be even more incredible.
After a while, Django finished reading the specific information of all the audios.
After making a comparison, I really like Qingyue Dubbing Studio more.
Then, I sent the results to Mo Lan.
After receiving the notice, Niubi Animation Studio began to work overtime to rush the work. They valued this anime very much.
Qingyue Dubbing Studio signed a contract and waited for the finished film to be dubbed.
"What kind of operation model do we use for this anime?" Mo Lan came to the office and asked about the follow-up matters.
"Well..." Jiang Ge thought for a moment and said, "Publish it online and watch it for free."
Mo Lan's cold face showed a hint of surprise, and he asked, "You mean, you only take the sponsorship fee and the website GG share?"
Jiang Ge nodded.
Mo Lan continued to ask, "Not even adding members?"
"No." Jiang Ge smiled lightly and explained, "The reason for using this operating model is that, first, the length of each episode of this animation is too short, and charging will cause public outrage. Second, the original intention of making this animation is not to make money, just treat it as a sentiment of mine."
Apart from those historical events, "Year Hare Affair" is actually a cartoon about animal friends laughing, scolding and fighting in various ways. The fight scene is not as exciting as "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit", and the props and equipment that appear are not as sci-fi and magical as "Blue Cat's Naughty Three Thousand Questions".
From the appearance alone, it can only be a second- or third-rate animation creation, and it should have been submerged in the vast ocean of new animations long ago.
However, it survived and became a masterpiece in the hearts of many Chinese comic fans.
Perhaps, it is more than just an animation, nor is it an ordinary historical science creation. In a certain sense, it is "history itself".
Mo Lan does not understand animation, but understands the feelings of family and country.
Especially after so many years of traveling in a foreign country, she can better understand the importance of country and family.
She understands Jiang Ge's choice and supports Jiang Ge's choice.
However, she did not forget her identity as a producer, and making money is her top priority.
"I will post a message to recruit sponsors later." She said.
Here, she used "recruit" instead of "pull", and the difference between the two words is huge.
This is the solid foundation laid by the two dramas "Little Fish and Flower" and "White Night Chase". As long as it is produced by Jiang Ge, sponsorship is no longer like before, asking this one and asking that one, just wave your hand and they will come.
Besides, Jiang Ge is not a great philanthropist who has no interest in money.
As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. He should not think of earning less than what he deserves, and he will not take even a penny that he should not earn.

Another week passed, and on April 15th, at noon.
NetEase Cloud Music put Qin Shiyue's album "Little Lucky" and Lin Yu's album "Mr. Lonely" on the shelves on time, priced at 19 yuan.
On the other hand, QQ Music also put Xu Chenyi's album "Challenge" on the shelves, priced at 29 yuan.
It's not that they want to fight a price war, but that they will make comprehensive pricing based on the singer's status, the number of songs in the album, and the quality of the songs.
"Here it comes!"
"It's okay to buy one, but it's a bit painful to buy all three."
"Listen first, and support whoever sounds better."
"Hehe, I'm here to buy skins."
"It's a big win if you buy Qin Shiyue and Lin Yu."
"..."
...
The audience is divided into passers-by and fans.
Fans will naturally buy without thinking, while passers-by will rationally decide whether to buy based on the quality of the song.
Among them, there are also those who are not fans but choose to buy directly.
For example, Xu Chenyi.
His reason is very difficult, that is, he wants to listen to what kind of song gave Qin Shiyue and Lin Yu the courage to confront him head-on.
"Which song do you want to listen to first?" asked the agent.
"A good man does not fight with a woman, listen to "Mr. Lonely" first." Xu Chenyi replied.
After some operations, the agent asked before playing: "Do you really want to listen? I personally think there is no need to do this to affect your mood. The sales of the new album, they have no chance to surpass you."
Xu Chenyi didn't listen and urged: "Play it quickly."
The agent had to give up and started playing Lin Yu's album title song "Mr. Lonely".
The prelude is a single instrument piano performance.
At this time.
Xu Chenyi laughed and commented: "This prelude is not up to standard."
Rich? No.
Passion? No.
There is only - plain.
