Chapter 761： Talent shortage

The wireless action is indeed fast.

It was only announced on December 29 that the "Xiangjiang Rookie Singing Contest" would begin. One week later, the registration and primary selection began.

They haven't watched "Super Girl", and naturally they don't know that there are many gimmicks in the primary election, so they just sent a lot of reporters to interview those who signed up, and what other judges and producers.

Wireless is now in the variety segment, and Xiangjiang is well-deserved boss.

A "Happy Tonight" has never had a variety show comparable to it, even if it is "Millionaire", it is far inferior to it in terms of topicality and entertainment.

Therefore, the wireless has made such a singing contest, and heard that the champion can help produce records, many young people who like to sing, have to go to the registration, the registration point at the wireless door, it seems very lively.

In just three days, more than 1,000 people signed up to participate, and then the wireless selection began nervously.

The tastes they choose are the same as those of the previous life, there are as many as seven or eight, including rib, Zhen Ni, Tai Di Robin, Gu Jiahui and others.

Originally, Huang Zhan wanted to promise them, but as soon as Liu Tianci called to give him 1 million as a judge, he immediately pushed the wireless invitation.

It ’s better to kiss with money than with whom!

There is no Huang Zhan on the wireless side, and they don't care. Anyway, it is not difficult to select singers. The comprehensive opinions of the judges are more important.

They will not record in the primary election, but in the semi-finals and finals highlights, they will record a total of 6 episodes, which will be broadcast in 6 weeks, which is equivalent to a Hong Kong sister election.

If the ratings are high and the audience reacts enthusiastically, it might not be a grand ceremony in the first half of the year.

In addition, it can also deliver new singers to Huaxing Entertainment, which is really a double benefit.

In the face of such an impatient launch of the wireless singing competition, Yin Jun did not care at all.

When "Xiangjiang Idol" came out, they didn't know what was the real strength to crush the gap.

During these two days, Yin Jun was busy reviewing and watching the first cartoon of "Woolong Academy" produced by Shangmei Factory.

The original agreement between Yin Jun and Shangmei Factory was that in February this year, the first batch of artists and animators would rotate back before they started to create.

But I don't know what the reason is. In July, Yin Jun hadn't returned for a few days. The director of Shangmei Factory, Yan Dingxian, made a special call to Yin Jun, saying that they had already started to prepare the animation of Wulongyuan.

Comic books are ready-made. Their technicians and masters are also ready-made. Since they are willing to do it, they will do it.

However, what Yin Jun couldn't think of was that Shangmei Factory was so powerful.

Since the animation production of "Woolong Academy" was handed over to them in July last year, less than half a year later, they have completed 30 episodes of animation, and an average of 5 episodes a month, which is a very remarkable speed!

You know, there is no animation photography station at Shangmei Factory!

All of their animations are done by hand-painting. At most, when shooting pictures, they will use the method of frame-limited animation to save unnecessary time.

But even so, they can produce five episodes of cartoons a month, and they must have mobilized the whole plant and accelerated the production crazy, so they will come up with so many finished products.

Yin Jun summoned the screenwriters and artists of Oolong Academy, as well as the animators borrowed from Toei Animation, and everyone jumped around to watch about 10 episodes.

After reading, all of them nodded in praise.

No matter from the perspective of screen effects, color effects, character effects, object effects, motion effects ... the masters of Shanghai Haihai Fine Art Film Studio have handled it very well, and they ca n’t see that this is Produced in a closed and conservative interior, compared to the "Transformers" you are currently producing, the details are better.

The animator of Toei Animation couldn't help but gave a thumbs up. Shangmei Factory really is Shangmei Factory. It is indeed the most desirable holy place for our **** of comics!

Now that everyone has passed the review, Yin Jun immediately handed over the animation to Ding Linxiang, letting her be responsible for negotiating with the major television stations around the world about the animation.

The last time I sent "Transformers" to the world's major TV stations for free, it was Ding Linxiang who contacted her. Now she contacts again, and she is naturally familiar with it.

This contact with the TV station is actually very particular.

Everybody needs "Transformers" wherever you send it, because children like robots are loved by children all over the world.

However, "Oolong Temple" is different. It expresses more the traditional culture and jokes of China. Generally, only people in the Confucian circle will be happy.

If other countries have different cultures, the natural feeling will be very different.

This is why even in 2020, Hollywood musicals can sweep the box office across Europe and the United States, but basically to the mainland, it is also an important reason for the end of the street.

Therefore, Yin Jun let Ding Linxiang directly contact the Asian market this time, and the European and American sides cast a net. They can earn as much as they can and do not accept any advertising sharing agreements.

The Asian market is actually quite large.

First of all, the three major markets of Ben, South Korea, and Treasure Island are enough to satisfy people.

Especially in the Baodao market, "Wulongyuan" was originally drawn by their cartoonists, and their style and language are also in line with their wishes. The comic book of "Wulongyuan" was sold very popular in Baodao, almost surpassing the population. Four times the Japanese.

But this time it's a little troublesome, "Woolongyuan" was produced by Huhai Fine Art Film Studio in the mainland. According to the relationship between the mainland and Baodao, I don't know if their TV stations have the courage to buy this film.

Japan, South Korea and South Korea have no such restrictions. Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries are also places with a large traditional Chinese community, so they can certainly be sold, but they are more expensive and less expensive. problem.

Moreover, Kirin Satellite TV and some TV stations in their countries have long-term cooperative relations, which can also be promoted as an advantage.

Ding Linxiang is a woman with a bold personality.

In particular, Yin Jun and Le Yiling will not set obstacles for her deliberately. She devotes herself wholeheartedly to her work. She does n’t have to worry about the constraints of various relationships or intrigues. As long as she does things well, she will You can be rewarded, and you can also have a generous red envelope.

It took only a total of two days for her to understand the price.

Because the comics of "Oolong Academy" are selling well all over Asia, everyone buys it.

Japan, Korea and South Korea, the two largest consumers of manga and animation, have the highest prices, adding up to 300,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, and the remaining countries add up to 200,000.

Ding Linxiang was so courageous that she directly asked Treasure Island's CTV, saying that you would like to buy such a cartoon made in the Mainland.

Like the previous life, "Oolong Academy" is very popular in Baodao, and CTV also knows its status, so after whispering for a while, it gave a quotation of 50,000 episodes, and asked Kirin Satellite TV to release the copyright information and release. The information should be well prepared, and any relevant information in the Mainland must not appear.

This is to hide the ear and steal the bell.

By the time the people above asked, they could also be said to be the responsibility of Kirin Satellite TV, they did not know that it was made in the Mainland.

Yin Jun immediately made a final decision and agreed to their request.

Immediately afterwards, responses from Europe and the United States also came. I saw the popular characters in Transformers, and the comics in Oolong Academy are also in the small market in their country. Twelve TV stations are willing to buy copyright.

They certainly can't afford to buy out much for "Wulong Yuan", which is about the same as "Transformers".

But TV stations in Europe and the United States ca n’t afford to be rich, and their currency value is very high. The purchase fees of 12 TV stations add up to 720 thousand episodes.

In addition, Kirin Satellite TV must also give 30,000 for an episode, so according to statistics, the price of an episode of "Oolong Academy" actually reached 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars!

How much does it cost?

For the production cost of one episode, Huhai Fine Art Film Studio quoted RMB 50,000!

That's all they reported with courage.

That's it, Sister Le directly called them back and only gave 40,000 RMB for one episode, but if 30 episodes are guaranteed every six months, then an additional bonus of 500,000 will be given.

Hearing this, the person who went to the US factory did not complain at all. Instead, he was complacent and felt that he was taking advantage of it.

After all, their biggest cost is labor, and labor is not very valuable in the mainland. The real cost is only up to 20,000 yuan per episode. How come they are making a lot of money.

As everyone knows, in fact, Le Yiling also feels that he is making a big profit, even for an episode of 50,000 RMB.

It was only because she felt that it was not as much as others said, and it was necessary to bargain so that others would not have the chance to bully honest people, so she cut off part of it.

Moreover, she also used an incentive mechanism to make Shangmei Factory work harder for the Kirin culture.

Such cost calculation, except for all costs such as copying, shipping, taxation, etc., an episode of "Woolongyuan" ~ www.novelhall.com ~ brings to Kirin culture a net income of HKD 900,000.

Europe, America, Japan and South Korea are accustomed to playing an episode of cartoons a week. In "Oolong Academy" four episodes a month, Kirin Culture will make a net profit of 3.6 million, and more than 44 million a year. This is really a lot!

It ’s still only one. After March this year, the “Transformers” animation has been free for one year. When we continue to talk about the price, it ’s not an episode of 1 million. It should be at least. With a profit of 3 million Hong Kong dollars, it can be worthy of its global popularity and reputation.

Then the remaining "Kylin Weekly" serialized comics will also be included in the production process this year.

There is a shortage of animators who can restrict the adaptation of cartoons belonging to Kirin culture to dominate the world.

Even now, there are more than 70 animators of Kirin Culture. It is no problem to be proficient in making an anime. For example, "Transformers", now there are 5 episodes a month, there is no problem.

If you add another one, it is already a little bit difficult, let alone all the anime.

The group of graduates from the Academy of Fine Arts who came to Xiangjiang last year can currently only lay down their hands and do auxiliary work such as painting. They want to be fully talented and reach the level of their masters and Japanese artists. After five years, three years can only be said to be enough.

Therefore, after the Spring Festival in February this year, Yin Jun is also planning to expand the scope of recruitment again. He plans to recruit at least 200 people in the school every year, let them study in batches, and strive to gradually send in after three or five years. Great use.
