Chapter 761: Shortage of Talents
The wireless action is indeed fast.
On December 29th, it was announced that he would start doing the "Xiangjiang Rookie Singing Contest", and a week later, the registration and primary selection began.
They haven't watched "Super Girl", so naturally they don't know that there are many gimmicks in the primary selection, so they just sent a lot of reporters to interview those who signed up, as well as the judges and production staff.
Wireless is now in the variety show, and it is still the well-deserved boss of Xiangjiang.
A "Happy Tonight", there has never been a variety show that can compare with it, even "Millionaire", in terms of topicality and entertainment, it is far inferior to it.
Therefore, wireless came up with such a singing contest, and I heard that the champion can help make a record, many young people who like to sing have gone to sign up, and the registration point at the wireless door is very lively.
In just three days, more than 1,000 people signed up, and then wireless began the tense audition.
The tastes they chose were the same as those in their previous lives, there were as many as seven or eight, among which Rib, Zhen Xiao, Taidi Robin, Gu Jiahui and others were all there.
Originally, Huang Zhan wanted to agree to them, but as soon as he heard that Liu Tianci called and wanted to give him 1 million as a judge, he immediately pushed down the invitation of wireless.
It's better to be close to money than to be close to anyone!
Without Huang Zhan on the wireless side, they don't care, anyway, there is nothing difficult in selecting singers, and the comprehensive opinions of the judges are more important.
They won't record the primary, but in the semi-finals and finals, they will record a total of 6 episodes and broadcast them in 6 weeks, which is equivalent to a Hong Kong sister election.
If the ratings are high and the audience responds enthusiastically, it may not be a grand festival in the first half of the year.
In addition, it can also send new singers to Huaxing Entertainment, which is really a double win.
In the face of such an impatient launch of the singing contest by wireless, Yin Jun didn't care at all.
When "Xiangjiang Idol" came out, they knew what the real strength was to crush the gap.
In the past two days, Yin Jun has been busy reviewing and watching the first part of the "Oolong Courtyard" cartoon produced by Shangmei Factory.
Originally, Yin Jun and Shangmei reached an agreement that they would start creating in February this year, after the first batch of artists and animators returned in rotation.
But for some reason, Yin Jun hadn't come back for a few days in July, and Yan Dingxian, the director of Shangmei Factory, made a special call to Yin Jun, saying that they had begun to prepare for the animation of "Oolong Courtyard".
Comic books are readily available, and their technicians and masters are also ready-made, and since they want to do it, they will do it.
However, what Yin Jun didn't expect was that Shangmei Factory was so powerful.
Since handing over the animation production of "Oolong Temple" to them in July last year, in less than half a year, they have completed 30 episodes of animation, with an average of 5 episodes a month, which is a very remarkable speed!
You know, Shangmei Factory doesn't have an animation studio now!
All of their animations are done by hand, and at most when shooting the picture, they will use the method of limited frame animation to save unnecessary time.
But even so, if they can produce five episodes of cartoons in a month, they must have carried out a large-scale mobilization of the whole factory and crazy acceleration of production, so they will come up with so many finished products.
Yin Jun gathered the writers and artists of "Oolongin", as well as animators borrowed from Toei Animation, and everyone jumped to watch about 10 episodes.
After reading it, they all nodded in praise.
Whether it is from the picture effect, color effect, character effect, object effect, action effect...... From the perspective of which direction, the masters of Huhai Art Film Studio have handled it very well, and they can't see that this is produced in a closed and conservative mainland, which is better than the "Transformers" that everyone is making now, in terms of details.
Toei Animation's animators couldn't help but give a thumbs up, Shangmei Factory is really Shangmei Factory, and it is worthy of the holy place that our comic gods yearn for the most!
Now that everyone has approved it, Yin Jun immediately handed over the cartoon to Ding Linxiang and asked her to negotiate with major TV stations around the world about the broadcast of cartoons.
The last time she sent "Transformers" to major TV stations around the world for free, Ding Linxiang contacted her, and now she is in contact with it, so she is naturally familiar with it.
This contact with the TV station, in fact, is also exquisite.
Wherever you send "Transformers", there are people who need it, because things like robots are loved by children all over the world.
But "Oolong Courtyard" is different, it expresses more traditional Chinese culture and jokes, and generally only the people of the country in the Confucian circle will be happy to watch it.
If the culture of other countries is different, the natural feeling will be very different.
This is 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 directly an important reason for the end of the street.
Therefore, Yin Jun asked Ding Linxiang to directly look at the Asian market this time to contact, and Europe and the United States cast a wide net, making as much money as they could, and did not accept any advertising sharing agreement.
The Asian market is actually quite large.
First of all, the three major markets of Japan, South Korea and Treasure Island are enough to make people full.
Especially in the Treasure Island market, "Oolong-in" was originally drawn by their cartoonists, and the style and language are also very in line with their hearts, and the manga of "Oolong-in" sold very well in Treasure Island, almost surpassing Japan, which has a population four times that of them.
But this time, it is a bit troublesome that "Oolong Courtyard" is produced by the Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio in the mainland, and according to the current relationship between the mainland and Baodao, I don't know if their TV station dares to buy this film.
Japan and South Korea do not have such restrictions, and countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines are places with a large traditional Chinese community, so they can definitely be sold, but it is just a matter of more price and less price.
Moreover, Kylin TV has a long-term cooperative relationship with some TV stations in their country, which can also be marketed as an advantage.
Ding Linxiang is a woman with a pungent and bold personality, and she does things similarly.
Especially Yin Jun and Le Yiling, they will not deliberately set up obstacles for her, she deliberately devotes herself to her work, she does not have to worry about the constraints of various relationships, and she does not have to worry about intrigue, as long as she does things well, then she can be rewarded, and she can also have rich red envelopes to take.
It only took two days in total, and she inquired about the price.
Because the manga of "Oolongin" sells well all over Asia, everyone buys it.
Japan and South Korea, the two largest consumers of comics and animation, have the highest prices, adding up to 300,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode, and the rest of the countries add up to 200,000.
Ding Linxiang was bold, so she went directly to ask Huashi in Baodao, saying that you would like to buy such a cartoon produced in the mainland.
Like the previous life, "Oolong Courtyard" is very marketed in Treasure Island, and China Television also knows its status, so after muttering and discussing for a while, it gave an offer of 50,000 episodes, and asked Kylin Satellite TV to do a good job of copyright information and distribution information, and there must be no relevant information in the mainland.
That's what it means to cover your ears and steal the bell.
When the people above asked, they could also say that it was the responsibility of Kylin Satellite TV, and they didn't know that it was produced in the mainland.
Yin Jun immediately made a decision and agreed to their request.
Immediately afterwards, replies from Europe and the United States also came, for the sake of the popularity of "Transformers", and for the sake of the comics of "Oolong Temple" and the small market in their country, 12 TV stations are willing to buy the copyright.
Of course, they can't come up with much buyout fees for "Oolong Temple", and "Transformers" is about the same.
But I can't stand the fact that the TV stations in Europe and the United States are rich, and the currency value of the people is very high, and the buyout fees of the 12 TV stations add up, and there are 720,000 episodes.
In addition, Kylin Satellite TV must also give 30,000 yuan for an episode, so according to such statistics, the price of an episode of "Oolong Courtyard" has reached 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars!
How much does it cost?
The production cost of an episode is 50,000 yuan quoted by Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio!
That's all, they have the courage to give it.
That's it, Sister Le called them back directly, only giving 40,000 yuan for one episode, but if you guarantee to pay 30 episodes every six months, then you will be given another 500,000 yuan bonus.
Hearing this, the people in Shangmei Factory immediately did not complain, but were complacent, feeling that they had taken a big advantage.
After all, their biggest cost is labor, and labor is not very valuable in the mainland now, and the real cost is only 20,000 yuan a episode at most.
As everyone knows, in fact, Le Yiling also feels that she has made a lot of money, even if it is 50,000 yuan per episode.
It's just because she thinks that she can't be as much as others say, and she has to bargain so that others don't have the psychology of bullying honest people by luck, so she cut off some of them.
Moreover, she also used the incentive mechanism to make Shangmei Factory work harder for Kirin Culture.
Such a cost calculation, excluding all costs such as copying, transportation, taxes, etc., the cartoon episode of "Oolong Courtyard" brought a net income of 900,000 Hong Kong dollars to Kirin Culture.
Europe, America, Japan and South Korea are accustomed to broadcasting one episode of cartoons a week, "Oolong Courtyard" has four episodes a month, and Kirin Culture has a net income of 3.6 million, more than 44 million in a year, which is really a lot!
Now it's just one, and after March this year, the "Transformers" cartoon has completed a year of free broadcasting, and when it comes to continuing to negotiate the price, it will not be a 1 million episode that can be passed, at least the profit of 3 million Hong Kong dollars, in order to be worthy of its global fame and prestige.
Then the rest of the "Kirin Weekly" serialized comics will also be included in the production process this year.
The only thing that can restrain the comic adaptation animation to which Kirin culture belongs to dominate the world is the shortage of animators.
Even now there are more than 70 animators in Kirin Culture, and if you want to make an animated film, there is no problem if you are proficient, such as "Transformers", which is now doing 5 episodes a month, and there is no problem.
If you add another one, it's already a bit reluctant, let alone all the manga anime.
The group of graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts who came to Xiangjiang last year can only do auxiliary work such as painting, and if they want to become completely talented, to the point where they are now masters and Japanese animators, at least five years later, three years can only be said to be enough.
Therefore, after the Spring Festival in February this year, Yin Jun is also preparing to expand the scope of recruitment again, and he plans to recruit at least 200 people in the school every year, so that they can study in batches, and strive to gradually come in handy after three or five years.
If a company wants to develop, everything can be missing, but talent cannot be missing!
