Chapter 2055： OEM and homemade

Chen Zigui thought that Yin Jun did not understand the specific financial receipts and receipts, so he gave Yin a careful analysis.

For example, the cartoons of Shangmei Factory and Wulongyuan are still being produced.

From the initial episode of compensation and bonus of 60,000 yuan, to five years later, it has risen to 200,000 yuan per episode.

The rest of the tropical rain forest's hilarious life, the Tomb Raider, and the Chinese Little Master are three cartoons, which are also an episode of 200,000 yuan.

Only the most classic and most profitable Dragon Ball, the production cost of an episode is 300,000 yuan.

Such production cost is already absolutely high price in Shangmei factory.

According to Chang Xixi ’s own estimates, the actual production cost is about 100,000 RMB per episode, and their profit margin is as high as 100%.

With so much profit, they dared to go around and build factories and make profits, and farming was so good that they became the most profitable enterprise in Shanghai and most people in Shanghai Hu want to join State-owned factory.

Japan. The Asahi Group is responsible for the production of Conan, Prince of Tennis, Inuyasha and Cherry Needle, and the production cost is higher. The price is 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the price is 500,000 yuan.

This price is definitely not low.

Because after 2015, Japan ’s animation industry has entered a stable period, usually an episode of 24 minutes of animation, the production cost is 10 million to 20 million yen, calculated to be 60 to 1.2 million yuan.

Of course, if it is the three major cartoons of the migrant workers, or the attacking giants, Natsume's accountant, etc., who need beautiful paintings, it may be raised to 3 million to 5 million yuan.

That's the price in 2105!

In contrast, 30 years ago, in 1985, the production cost of 500,000 episodes was enough to produce a beautiful cartoon with an effect that was not wrong.

Considering that after taking this list, all the peripheral products of Kirin Weekly sold in Japan are distributed by their Asahi Group. This annual sale of tens of billions of yen is a cornucopia. .

Therefore, they would rather spend more on the production of animation to make it more refined, not to mention making money, or even losing money, to do well, attract more animation fans to watch, and thus attract them to buy peripheral products.

Kirin Weekly and even Kirin Culture know their consideration.

It's just crazy, wanting to be an ally in Japan. Ben has a huge news media group to be an ally, so it hasn't lowered the price of their cartoon production and the discount on the distribution of comic products.

Although Kirin Culture is looking at such a good profit of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, it is them who earn more. Asahi Shimbun only has less than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars a year, and these 2 billion Hong Kong dollars are not enough. They earn in half a month.

After analyzing the costs of Japan and the mainland, Chen Zigui started talking about income again.

The manga adaptations and animations involved in today's Kirin Weekly are divided into three categories.

The first category belongs to a specific group of people.

For example, the first boxing is watched by boxing enthusiasts and passionate teenagers. Girls do not watch it, and many adults do not like it.

Game King is a favorite of boys under the age of 18.

Beidou Shenquan is very fond of boys with serious violence.

Compared with the heavy taste of biohazard, Beidou Shenquan is embroidered a little bit new.

The second category is for all ages.

Conan, Chinese Little Master, Cherry Needle, Yu Yu Hakusho, and City Hunter are all included.

The third category is the Speedmaster level.

The so-called supermaster is in so many excellent comics, the strength is far higher than others.

So far, there have been only two.

Dragon Ball of 81 years.

Slam dunk master of 1983.

Although these two books are far below Transformers in selling peripheral products, in terms of comic books, they don't know how many streets have been dumped.

These are the two comics that have been hailed as "Classic Classics" to date.

The single book of each episode can easily sell more than 10 million copies. Whether in Asia or in Europe and America, they are the two most popular comics.

Therefore, Kirin Weekly and Kirin Culture treat them separately when they make animations.

The cost of Dragon Ball ’s production of an episode at the Shangmei Factory has reached HK $ 800,000.

The slam dunk master has determined to produce animation in Toei, each episode costs up to 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and next summer, four episodes will be broadcast each month.

Of course, the level of production costs is directly the same as the copyright fees they sell.

Take this year, for example, the price of the first type of anime is almost US $ 500,000.

The price of the second type of anime is about to rise to 800,000 US dollars.

The third type of animation, Dragon Ball has been sold to 57 countries and regions, the price is 2 million US dollars an episode.

Slam dunks have also been fiercely contested. After hearing about the need for anime, TV stations in dozens of countries and regions have successively applied for copyright purchases. The price should not be lower than $ 2 million per episode.

Relative to the investment, the copyright income of these animations is almost 15: 1.

Earn up to 1500%! !

"This is our animation revenue so far. Although the absolute profit margin is not high, it can have a great effect on the sales of Manga Weekly, the sales of stand-alone books, and the sale of various peripheral copyrights." Chen Zigui is right Yin Jun said, "But you certainly don't know how much the same kind of animation will be in our unicorn culture."

"How much?" Yin Yu guessed what he wanted to say.

"The Transformers they produced, so far, the average cost per episode is 2 million Hong Kong dollars." Chen Zigui smiled bitterly, "more than Dragon Ball and Slam Dunk combined."

"How is this possible?" Yin coughed up.

Since Chen Zigui specifically mentioned the production cost of Transformers, it must be higher than usual, but Yin Jun did not expect it to be so high.

An episode of 2 million Hong Kong dollars?

Or a silly cartoon like Transformers?

Are these people cadavers, or are they intentionally wasting money?

No, it won't.

The teenager immediately rejected this idea. If they were really like this, then the Kirin culture would have been working hard for a long time, so that they would not indulge them because Transformers is the most profitable industry.

They are even less likely to pass the Le Yiling level. Sister Le's title of "Queen of Rage" is not unworthy of fame.

With her stingy personality, how could she tolerate this behavior?

"You misunderstood." Chen Zigui hurriedly said, "I'm not saying that they did a terrible job and wasted company resources. Jun Shao, you haven't seen Transformers cartoons in a long time?"

"Few to read." Yin Jun felt a little embarrassed.

Transformers have already entered the stage of a virtuous circle. As long as the settings of comics and cartoons do not collapse, and toys can continue to introduce new ones, then Transformers will not have any problems in the next 30 years. It is definitely a unicorn culture. One of the biggest gold suckers.

Therefore, Yin Jun's eyes certainly did not stay on it.

Moreover, with the growing business, Yin Jun spends another half a year to make movies and watch cartoons, which he has rarely done.

The last time I read the comics, I went to Zhou Huimin's house. She took out the first three sisters of Chaoyuanqi and showed them to Yin.

"They" Chen Zigui said halfway, and immediately said: "If you go to our side, you will know after watching one episode, and it won't take much time."

"it is good!"

Yin Tong agreed after thinking for a while.

Kirin Weekly ’s headquarters is not far from the group ’s headquarters. After forty minutes, Yin Jun sitting in the broadcast room after watching an episode of Transformers ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Then he could n’t help but applaud. , "Okay! Take me to the animation team later, I'm going to see this group of mistresses and girls, they are great!"

Chen Zigui: "!?"

After a while, he said heartily: "Do you think such a thing is unnecessary?"

"For this cartoon, it must be a waste." Yin Ka smiled. "However, they can make the technology and animation scenes so well, which is absolutely commendable."

Having just watched this episode of Transformers, Yin Kou figured out why the production cost is so high.

The general animation is done using an animation workbench. Usually ten workbenches can make a 24-minute animation in a week, but the effect caused by this is definitely not good, there will be many still pictures , Seems dull.

But the obvious thing about Transformers is not to use a traditional animation workbench. Its movement, speech, appearance, background, etc., look as smooth as a TV series.

Such an effect, of course, increases the perception several times and ten times, and the visibility is improved too much.

Of course, for Transformers, there is actually little need, because it is not known for its fineness.

But when people see the whole process of the car's deformation, it is so full of movement and smoothness, and the feeling of wonder is also obvious.

It is for this reason that they spent a lot of time and energy, and only spent 2 million episodes of production costs.

When Chen Zigui heard Yin Jun's words, he stopped speaking.

The boss has said that it is commendable, are you still entangled in the problem of expenses?

This is a private company, and the boss is a famous genius. Can you be better than the boss?
