Coquettish Rebirth

Chapter [-]: The Plan and the Arrival of the Immortal

"That's right, setting up a missing father in this way can indeed have a lot of operability in terms of plot. Xiaopeng, I have a question, that is, how many episodes did you plan to do?" Zhou Before Jun and Jing Guoping spoke, one of the gray-haired old men behind them asked this question at this moment.

"How many episodes to make? It's not certain. If you can shoot a thousand episodes, you can shoot a thousand episodes..." Unexpectedly, Jia Hongjian said such amazing words.A thousand episodes?At this time, it wasn't just the old man who asked the question, but the people around him were all shocked!Even if it is filmed at the rate of 20 minutes per week, how long will it take to produce 1000 episodes?The environment in China is not the same as in Japan and the United States, where you can shoot and make at the same time!That is to be produced together and then sent together for approval!

Just when Jing Guoping was about to remind Jia Hongjian of this point in surprise, Jia Hongjian, who had heard the rave words just now, explained in this way: "Of course, we didn't shoot the thousand episodes at once. The first one or In the first season, we can film [-] or [-] episodes. After the broadcast, we will see how the response is. If the response is good, we will continue to do the following. Basically, [-] or [-] episodes can be regarded as a season or a movie... "

In fact, Jia Hongjian has always felt that the production method of Japanese and American animation on seasons is actually very suitable for China. Originally, the reason why American cartoons or TV dramas adopt the form of seasons is because every summer there are four seasons in each season. The Playoffs of Big Sports!Baseball's LB, football's NFL, basketball's NB, ice hockey's playoffs and championship games are all in the spring and summer!At this time, the old men snatched the remote control away to watch the live broadcast, and did not watch cartoons and TV series at all.The reason why Japanese animation adopts this model is to reduce risks, to see how the first season will work, and if the effect is good, then invest in the second season.

And the reason why the concept of this season is very suitable for China is that if you do this, you can reduce the risk, and at the same time, you can see good reviews after the broadcast. Immediately start shooting the second season. After the second season is finished, the first season will be almost finished It's been a while since the broadcast, so let's use the free time to submit the trial!Wouldn't it be possible to launch the second season at once in a fair and aboveboard manner?

After explaining the concept of Ji in this way, the eyes of those old men, Jing Guoping and Zhou Jun suddenly lit up!Only now did they understand what the concept and purpose of the "season" that Jia Hongjian had been talking about before was!But the old man is a little confused now, "How can Xiaopeng know so much about the foreign animation production process?"

"I have a friend studying in the United States..." Jia Hongjian unscrupulously used Ye Jing as a shield again.Hearing Jia Hongjian's explanation, the people around immediately said "Oh", yes, this is a reasonable explanation, otherwise Jia Hongjian who has never worked in the animation industry and is still so young, How do you know the process in the foreign animation industry?

At this time, the old man who asked the question thought about it, looked at Jia Hongjian with emotion and asked: "Then if this series of cartoons is made according to this plan, Xiaopeng will not be afraid of losing money? You must know that Meiying Studio It takes more than 2000 million yuan to eat the state's appropriation, but the money earned is very little..."

After asking this question, the old man fixed his cloudy eyes on Jia Hongjian, as if trying to capture every detail of his face.However, Jia Hongjian's performance surprised the old man and everyone around him. He suddenly laughed at this moment, as if he had heard some ridiculous joke. "The domestic market is not easy to make money, so let's go abroad to make money. Who said that we will be crucified in China for the rest of our lives? Our Meiying Studio is good at making animation films at the art level, so we should continue to make art. There are also 90-minute or even 120-minute animated films in foreign countries now! For example, an animated film called "The Lion King" that Disney is currently making is expected to be screened in the United States in June, and it may be released within this year. Broadcast in China. Since Hollywood animation companies can make animated films to make money, and our American Film Studio has won more awards internationally than their Hollywood animation studios, why can’t we?”

Yes, this is the method Jia Hongjian came up with after thinking about it for a period of time after rebirth to rebirth the Meiying Studio!Who said that Meiying Factory must unconditionally cater to the market to make Japanese-style cartoons?It is also completely feasible to make American-style animated films, or Chinese-style animated films that are purely ink and wash slightly adjusted according to the market!As for cartoons and so on, just leave it to Jia Hongjian's joint venture company to do it!

The direction he said so casually stunned a group of people around him!Whether it is Jing Guoping, Zhou Jun, or even this group of old men, they feel that Meiying Factory cannot adapt to the market in this era. Originally, the broadcasting price of TV stations is low, and various domestic pirated versions make it impossible to do peripheral products. They really I feel like I can't find my way!

But they thought the method Jia Hongjian mentioned was really a solution!Since the original market income is too low, why not just go to movie theaters and earn movie ticket money by transferring to the big screen!And if you can't make money at home, there are still foreign countries!In the past, the cartoons of the American Film Studio were played at foreign film festivals. Although foreign filmmakers contacted them, they were basically sold to foreign TV stations for broadcasting, and the charges were quite cheap. But according to Jia Hongjian According to the saying, that may really be a way!

"However, this is just about Meiying Studio. As far as our company is concerned, regarding the animation of "Pokemon", I can tell everyone from the bottom of my heart, that is, I never thought that this animation would lose money. Why? Because I am not only doing animation for this animation, but also for games, novels, comics, stickers, toys, dolls, soundtrack albums, and even theatrical movies! And the main direction is Japan, America and Europe Three-party market!" Jia Hongjian said very domineeringly at this time.

As soon as he said this, he saw the eyes of the people around him widen, as if they couldn't believe his ambition. "So, if I can support Huaxia Hi-Tech, then I can support the joint venture company. Maybe I'm not someone who can sell garbage for gold price, but as long as the quality of things is decent, I can definitely sell them for gold. You are professional in animation, marketing? I am professional! Since we have a joint venture, we should trust the other party’s ability, shouldn’t we?”

To be honest, what Jia Hongjian said was really domineering!In this day and age, no matter who speaks, it is all in accordance with the tradition, and they cannot speak too much, and they cannot be so sharp.But not Jia Hongjian!Now he can basically say that it is the sharp-edged method of Europe and the United States, at least when he speaks, he can startle others!

This group of people had never seen such a domineering person in this era. After hearing what Jia Hongjian said, they really didn't say anything for a long time!But at this time, I saw the old man who asked the question before smiling and said: "Okay! Okay! It's a good thing to have such confidence! This is also revolutionary optimism! Then my old man will also talk about youth madness, and accompany you crazy Get crazy!"

Seeing the old man taking the lead, the old men behind also laughed, "Count me in!" Move your muscles!"

Could it be that these old men are the masters who are going to be hired back?Jia Hongjian looked at the old man who had been asking himself questions in surprise. He only looked at the old man who seemed to be in his 70s or [-]s. His back was a little hunchback, his hair was gray and a little Mediterranean, and he really couldn't recognize who it was for a while. Grandmaster.

"This one is the eldest of the Wan Brothers, Mr. Wan Laiming Wan, world animation master, art master, No.1 Chinese paper-cutting art, founder of animation films, world famous animation director, one of the 500 celebrities in the modern world, 70 When the Japanese animation master Mr. Osamu Tezuka came to China in the [-]s, it was to meet Mr. Wan Laiming. The sketch of Monkey King and Astro Boy drawn together during their meeting is now stored in the Beijing Film Memorial Hall..." Jing Guoping stood up at this time and said: Introduced.

"This is Mr. Wan Guchan, who ranks second among the Wan brothers. He specializes in paper-cut animation. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he and Mr. Wan Laiming produced "The Studio", the first animation in Chinese history, and also produced " The Iron Fan Princess is an animation film that has become famous internationally in China, and it also presided over the production of paper-cut animations such as "Ginseng Doll" and "Fisher Boy"!"

"This is Te Wei, the former director of our American Film Studio. He personally researched and developed the technology of introducing ink painting techniques and styles into cartoons. He presided over the production of the world-shocking "Little Tadpoles Looking for Mom". Suddenly, what many people in the world thought was impossible became a reality, which shocked the international film world! Even the Minister of Culture at the time even wrote an inscription for this movie-creating ghosts and gods!"

"This is Past and Present. He specializes in puppet cartoons. Films such as "Cao Chong Said the Elephant", "Avanti", and "Ma Liang" are all made by him! In the whole of China, the shooting of puppet cartoons , Lao Jin dares to say that he is ranked second, but no one dares to say that he is ranked first!"

Rub, true or false?Hearing the meaning of these words, this group of masters who can already be described as "immortals" were just a little tempted to go back to the factory to talk, but it was because of what he said, Jia Hongjian, that they were so tempted to be rehired?real or fake?
