Chapter 761 The shortage of talents

The wireless action is indeed fast.

It was announced on December 29 that it would start the "Xiangjiang Rookie Singing Competition". A week later, registration and primary elections began.

They hadn't watched "Super Girl", so they naturally didn't know that there were many gimmicks in the primary election, so they just sent a lot of reporters to interview those who signed up, as well as judges and production staff.

Now in variety shows, Wireless is still the well-deserved boss of Xiangjiang.

There is never a variety show that can compare with it in "Happy Tonight". Even "Millionaire" is far inferior to it in terms of topicality and entertainment.

Therefore, Wireless created such a singing competition, and I heard that the champion could help produce records. Many young people who like to sing went to sign up one after another. The registration point at the wireless door seemed very lively.

In just three days, more than 1,000 people signed up, and then the wireless started the nervous auditions.

Their tastes were the same as those in their previous lives, with seven or eight, including Rib, Zhen Ni, Tadir Robin, Gu Jiahui and others.

Originally, Huang Zhan wanted to agree to them, but as soon as he heard Liu Tianci calling and wanted to give him 1 million to be a judge, he immediately pushed the wireless invitation.

It’s better to be with money than to be with whom you are!

They didn't care if there was no Huang Zhan on the wireless side. Anyway, there was no difficulty in selecting singers, so the comprehensive opinions of the judges were more important.

They won’t record the primary election, but in the highlights of the semi-finals and finals, they will record 6 episodes of the program, which will be played in 6 weeks, which is equivalent to a similar election to the Miss Hong Kong election.

If the ratings are high and the audience responds enthusiastically, it may be a grand ceremony in the first half of the year.

In addition, it can also bring new singers to Huaxing Entertainment, which is really a killing two birds with one stone.

Faced with the impatient launch of the singing competition by TVB, Yin Jun didn't care at all.

It was not until "Hong Kong Idol" came out that they knew what the real strength was to crush the gap.

Yin Jun has been busy reviewing and watching the first cartoon of "Oolongyuan" produced by Shangmei Factory.

The agreement reached by Yin Jun and Shangmei Factory was not until February this year that the first batch of artists and animators rotated back to create.

But for some reason, before Yin Jun came back a few days in July, Yan Dingxian, the director of Shangmei Factory, called Yin Jun specifically and said that they had begun to prepare for the animation "Oolongyuan".

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

However, what Yin Jun could not have imagined was that Shangmei Factory was so powerful.

Since they handed over the animation production of "Oolongyuan" to them in July last year, they have completed 30 episodes of cartoons in less than half a year, and made an average of 5 episodes per month. This is a very impressive speed!

You know, there is no animation photography station in Shanghai now!

All their animations are completed by hand drawing. At most, when shooting the picture, they will use frame-limited animation production to save unnecessary time.

But even so, if they can produce five episodes of cartoons in a month, they must have mobilized the entire factory and accelerated the production frantically, so they would have produced so many finished products.

Yin Jun gathered the screenwriters and artists of "Oolongyuan", as well as the animators borrowed from Toei Animation, and everyone jumped to watch about 10 episodes.

After reading it, all of them nodded and praised.

Whether it is from the perspective of the picture effect, color effect, character effect, object effect, action effect... from which direction, the masters of the Shanghai Art Film Studio have handled it very well, and there is no way to tell that this is produced in a closed and conservative mainland. It is better to handle the details than the "Transformers" that everyone is currently producing.

The animator of Toei Animation couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. Sure enough, the Shangmei Factory is Shangmei Factory, which is worthy of being the holy place that our comic gods yearn for the most!

Since everyone has passed the review, Yin Jun immediately handed over the cartoon to Ding Linxiang and asked her to be responsible for negotiating the cartoon broadcast with major TV stations around the world.

The last time I gave "Transformers" for free to broadcast to major TV stations around the world was Ding Linxiang contacted me. Now she contacted me, so she was naturally familiar with it.

This is actually a matter of contact with the TV station.

Wherever you send "Transformers", people need it, because children all over the world like it.

But "Wulongyuan" is different. It expresses more traditional Chinese culture and jokes. Generally, only the people of the country in the Confucian circle will be happy to watch.

If other countries have different cultures, their natural feelings will be very different.

This is the important reason why even in 2020, Hollywood song and dance films can sweep the box office in Europe and the United States, but basically in the mainland, it is a big failure.

Therefore, Yin Jun asked Ding Linxiang to directly contact the Asian market this time, and Europe and the United States cast a big net, and the amount of money they can earn is as much as they can, and they do not accept any advertising share agreements.

The Asian market is actually quite large.

First of all, the three major markets of Japan, Korea, and Baodao are enough to make people full.

Especially in the Treasure Island Market, "Oolongyuan" was originally painted by their cartoonists, and the style and terms were very consistent with their wishes. The comic book "Oolongyuan" sold very well on Treasure Island, almost exceeding the Japanese book with a population of four times that of theirs.

But this time it’s a bit troublesome. "Oolongyuan" was produced by the mainland Shanghai Art Film Studio. Based on the current relationship between the mainland and Baodao, I wonder if their TV stations have the courage to buy this film.

There is no such restriction in Japan, Canada and South Korea. Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries are also places with a large traditional Chinese population, so they can definitely be sold, but it is just a matter of more and less prices.

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

Ding Linxiang is a woman with a bold and bold personality and she looks like doing things.

Especially Yin Jun and Le Yiling, they would not deliberately set up obstacles for her. She devoted herself to her work wholeheartedly, without worrying about constraints of various relationships or intrigues. As long as she does things well, she will be rewarded and have generous red envelopes to get.

In just two days in total, she found out the price.

Because the comics of "Oolongyuan" are sold well in Asia, everyone is very interested in them.

The two major consumer countries of Japan and South Korea have the highest prices, with a total of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, and the rest of the countries have a total of 200,000.

Ding Linxiang was so brave that she went directly to ask Huashi on Baodao, saying whether you would like to buy such an animation produced in the mainland.

Like his previous life, "Oolongyuan" was very popular on Baodao, and Huashi also knew its status, so after muttering for a while, he gave a quotation of 50,000 yuan per episode, and asked Kirin TV to do a good job in copyright information and distribution information, and must not show any relevant information from the mainland.

This is just a stolen bell.

When the people above ask about it, they can also say that they are responsible for Qilin TV, and they don’t know that this is made in the mainland.

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

Immediately afterwards, European and American replies also came. Seeing that "Transformers" is so popular, and seeing that "Oolongyuan" comics are also in their small market, 12 TV stations are willing to purchase copyrights.

Of course, they can't afford much buyout fee for "Oolongyuan", "Transformers" is still the same.

But it can't stand the money of other European and American TV stations. Besides, their currency is very high. The total purchase fee of 12 TV stations actually has an episode of 720,000.

In addition, Qilin TV must give 30,000 yuan in one episode. With this statistics, the price of an episode "Oolongyuan" actually reached HK$1.3 million!

How much does it cost?

The production cost of an episode was 50,000 yuan!

All of this was what they had to give it back with courage.

That's all, Sister Le called them back directly and only gave them 40,000 yuan per episode. However, if you guarantee to pay 30 episodes every six months, you will be given an additional 500,000 yuan bonus.

When people in the US factory heard this, they immediately had no complaints, but instead were complacent and felt that they had taken a lot of advantage.

After all, their biggest cost is labor, and labor is not very valuable in the mainland now. The real cost is only 20,000 yuan per episode. In fact, they will make a big profit.

Little did they know that Le Yiling actually felt that she had made a big profit, even if it was 50,000 yuan per episode.

It was just because she felt that it was impossible for others to say as much as she could, and she had to bargain to prevent others from bullying honest people by chance, so she cut off some of them.

Moreover, she also used incentive mechanisms to make Shangmei Factory work harder for Kirin Culture.

With such cost calculation, excluding copying, transportation, taxation and other expenses, the animation "Oolongyuan" brings a net income of 900,000 Hong Kong dollars to Qilin Culture.

Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea are both used to playing one episode of cartoons a week. "Oolongyuan" has four episodes a month, and Kirin Culture has made a net profit of 3.6 million, and more than 44 million a year. This is really a lot!

It's just one movie now. After March this year, the "Transformers" cartoon has been full for a year of free broadcasting period. When we continue to negotiate the price, it will not be possible to get 1 million yuan for an episode. At least it should be profit of 3 million Hong Kong dollars to be worthy of its global popularity and reputation.

Then the remaining comics serialized by Kirin Weekly will be included in the production process this year.

The only shortage of animators can restrict the cartoons adapted by Qilin Culture from dominating the world.

Even if there are more than 70 animators in Qilin Culture now, it is no problem to make an animation if you want to make an animation. For example, "Transformers" is now making 5 episodes a month, and there is no problem to do it.

If you add another movie, it will be a bit difficult, let alone the whole comics and animations are all made.

The group of graduates from the Academy of Fine Arts who came to Xiangjiang last year can only do auxiliary work such as painting. If you want to become a master and Japanese animator, it will only take at least five years to say that three years are just enough.

Therefore, after the Spring Festival in February this year, Yin Jun is preparing to expand the scope of recruitment again. He is planning to recruit at least 200 people in the school every year, so that they can study in batches, and strive to gradually deliver great uses in three to five years.

If a company wants to develop, everything can be lacked, but talent can be lacked!
