Chapter 318 Prepare to push horizontally
The brave are not afraid, and the ignorant are not afraid. These two sentences are vividly reflected in Long Jianhua.
It was only after Yuwen Xing, Liu Shengnan and Yu Xinfei returned to Xiangdao that he fully realized that the animation industry is not that simple.
If you like to watch anime, just enjoy the pleasure of hearing and vision, it is not that simple to do anime.
Yu Xinfei told him that the copyright of "The Smurfs" has been bought by the United States and that they are already filming animations.
He was still mentally prepared for this result, and the option to start "The Undersea Elf" is.
What Yuwen Xing told Liu Shengnan, he became a little uneasy.
Yuwen Xing shouted, "Longsheng, we spent a week buying only three comic studios, and the animation production team only bought one."
"Drawing comics is not that simple. For those who have dozens or hundreds of volumes, each character must be created by a fixed person, otherwise the spirit may change."
"If the animation is made simpler, eight to twelve drawings per second, the animation in half an hour will cost about 6,000 pictures; if the painting skills are professional, seven or eight people can complete it in about fifty days."
"So, after calculations like this, it takes three months for an episode of animation; but such works will not have a market unless they are slow-paced."
Liu Shengnan added, "According to the current market, the production cost of island Japanese cartoons is generally 1,000 US dollars per minute, and the highest is more than 3,000."
The journey is like a mountain, and this result is beyond his expectations.
He rubbed his face, "Didn't you say that animation is a very profitable industry?"
Both of them nodded at the same time.
"It's really profitable, but only if you want to find a good story and a good comic. However, it takes a process."
He patted the table, "That's right. I've thought of a good story these days. You guys prepare some good painters and get it out as soon as possible."
He turned to Yu Xinfei and said, "Hurry up and prepare for the publication of comics. We will create an animation company in the future, covering comics and animation."
"This is a long-term mission. The rebirth is here, and this animation company is here."
Yuwen Xing asked after a while, "Longsheng, we have always been unable to figure out why we should attach so much importance to animation."
He asked with a smile, "You really can't figure it out?"
Yuwen Xing shook his head.
He asked Liu Shengnan again, "Where are you?"
Liu Shengnan thoughtfully and said uncertainly, "Long always wants to integrate company publicity into the animation?"
He snapped his fingers and laughed, "Yusheng, you are a lawyer, known for your divergent thinking; as a result, you are not as good as Mr. Liu, an engineering student. In the future, don't brag about your so-called divergent thinking in front of us."
Yuwen Xing rumbled dissatisfiedly, "There is a foundation for divergence. You are just free from trust. You think about it."
Liu Shengnan chuckled, and Yu Xinfei also covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Yuwen Xing pulled his earlobes, "Even if you want to integrate the company's products and company image into animation, you still need good stories and good painters; as you tell me, animation products will appear in three months, and comics will be published in one and a half months, how can you do it?"
This is the truth of him.
Passion is one thing, reality is another.
But in Long Jianhua's eyes, this is nothing.
He smiled, "Since the animation in Japan is so developed, I think this group is quite large, which means there are many people working in this industry. The teams in society cannot buy it. Wouldn't we go to school to buy it?"
"Since we can distribute some raw materials to suppliers to do, can't we leave the animation production to others first?"
"I believe that there are many such talents in universities, even high schools, junior high schools, and elementary schools in the island of Japan. If we have stories, we can ask them to draw them; if they have stories, we can buy them."
"Their ideas are different from ours. They are still in school and their appreciation points may not be the same as ours; their stories may be more easily accepted."
Yu Xinfei responded quickly, "Mr. Long means that we will first give some cartoons to others to do, and we will send people to learn them ourselves; when our people are almost the same, we will come back and make them ourselves?"
"And also, aim at various schools, find stories and talents from where?"
Long Jianhua nodded.
I was very satisfied with her reaction so quickly.
Liu Shengnan smiled and said, "Mr. Long is rich and powerful, and goes to steal the master with justification and goes to poach people with openness."
He shook his head, "This is not a stealing teacher, it is spending money to study. Haven't you bought "Three-Eyed Prodigy" back? Just use this book to practice."
"Manager Yu, I will give you the book, and I will give you the money. I hope that after this cartoon comes out, you can develop a basically qualified team."
Yu Xinfei responded crisply, "Please don't worry, Mr. Long, I will definitely not let you down!"
This response is a bit like when Liu Haoyu first came, and he was full of confidence.
He nodded, "I hope you succeed."
Take out a stack of paper from the drawer, "To celebrate the establishment of the group's animation company, I spent a few days writing a story. You can find someone to draw it into a comic."
Yu Xinfei came over to take the manuscript, but was captured by Yuwen Xing.
"Let me see what story Long Sheng wrote... "Football Young Player"? Long Sheng, have you played football?"
Uh~
It seems that I have never played football...
He said a little "annoyed and embarrassed" and said, "I haven't kicked it before, can't I yearn for a while? Yusheng, your divergent thinking is getting less and less divergent."
Liu Shengnan smiled and said, "Mr. Long, are you going to push me?"
He nodded, "Since you want to enter, you have to push it."
Yuwen Xing smiled and said, "This is indeed a sign of a strait. No one or team, you spend money to buy it; no story, you spend money to buy it. On the street, people are driving normally, but you suddenly drive in a tank and rush around."
"But in this way, will Chongshi Animation become the public enemy of the entire industry?"
He said lightly, "Manager Yu went to buy "The Smurfs", but he was bought by the United States. Are they still the same? It's just that we did it more obvious and took a faster pace."
"Everything we do is clear, without any violation of the law. When we succeed, they can only envy jealousy and hate."
Liu Shengnan asked a question, "Mr. Long, according to the brand strategy you mentioned before, it seems a bit inappropriate to name the animation company 'Jongshi Animation', and it will make people feel like a cold machine."
Long Jianhua shook his head, "After all, the Chongshi Animation serves the Chongshi products and the Chongshi culture. The Chongshi Animation is to make the Chongshi products come alive and open the way for them."
Yu Wen Xing, who was reading the manuscript of "Football Young Player", raised his head and said with a rare slightest, "No. I think Longsheng's logo implantation is quite good. It will not arouse people's disgust, but will have a subtle effect."
After discussion, it was finally decided to spend 200 million US dollars to establish the Chongshi Animation Company, including two departments, the comics department and the animation department.
The requirements for animation companies are: you can not make money in the first year, you must protect your capital in the second year, and you must make a profit in the third year.
Animation is also an industry, and it is currently a high-profit industry. It is unreasonable to not make any profit in the third year.
This requirement is already very relaxed.
