Regarding comics, Zhou Fangyuan was not prepared to let him fight alone from the beginning. Huo Ran Wen a'

The linkage of comics and games, of course, is Zhou Fangyuan's goal in the future, but for the time being, it is difficult to achieve the best effect of this linkage, but distant comics must be developed. After the neglect of the comic industry in China in the past few years, as well as the "discrimination" of the people against comics, the domestic comic industry is now in a period of scarcity.

At that time, the domestic comic industry was quite strong, especially in the 80s, which can be said to be the golden age of the comic industry. 、

Of course, that golden age can't be said to be the golden age of comics, in other words, the 80s was the golden age of the animation industry.

There are too many well-known animation works, countless classic animation works have not been surpassed, the artistic level of Chinese animation at that time has been internationally recognized, Chinese animation because of its unique national characteristics and independent of the world animation forest, exudes its unique artistic charm. For example, "Brainless and Unhappy", "Monkey Fishing for the Moon", "Black Cat Sheriff", "Cao Chong Calls the Elephant", "Laoshan Taoist", "Three Monks", "The Adventures of the Sloppy King", "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother", "Nezha in the Sea", "Nine Colored Deer", "Magic Pen Ma Liang", "Shuke Beta", "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "The Story of Avanti" And so on, too much, Zhou Fangyuan's childhood was happy, because at that time, the domestic animation industry was quite powerful, and these works produced, whether it was the subject matter, the process or the connotation, all had a place in the world. Even compared with the Fuso anime of the same period, it is not far behind.

However, after entering the 90s, the state did not deliberately suppress the animation industry, but it also did not support its development. With the opening of the country, foreign capital began to penetrate, and more and more outstanding talents were poached by Fusang and Midi's animation companies. Just like the once famous Haishi Animation Studio, what a great producer it used to be, a large part of the domestic animation in the post-80s childhood was produced by this studio. But in the end, during the period from '93 to '95, the factory only shot about 500 minutes of cartoons a year, and the number could not meet the needs of broadcasting, and not all of these 500 minutes of cartoons were high-quality, and the good market was given to people in vain.

Up to now, the domestic animation industry has a little bit of a sense of rising, especially in the past ten years, there are no decent animation works in China, and the huge market is actually in demand, so local TV stations began to buy Fuso's animation works, many of which are still translated into Taiwan to fill their own gaps. Although the eyes of capital have not yet been placed on the animation market, there are people of insight who have begun to want to reverse the current embarrassing status quo of this industry, and the number of people engaged in the animation industry in China has also begun to increase. But in the end, its own development is still too slow, and if there is no strong promotion from the state, it will require the intervention of private capital.

But in today's capital market, there are wandering funds everywhere investing in the Internet and real estate, and it will take at least a few years for a large amount of capital to invest in the animation industry. Of course, a few years cannot affect a country's national policy. The animation industry in Fuso is the first in the world, and it will also usher in a period of weakness in the future, with aging themes, rigid bridges, and blank content...... and so on, the animation industry has finally ushered in the prospect of development. Especially in the future, a group of capitals led by Tencent will take the initiative to engage in joint creation with Fusang, which has indeed made great progress in the domestic animation industry in just a few years.

But I have to say that the domestic animation industry is still a little lacking, mainly in the 90s, the loss of domestic talents is too serious, after all, at that time, in foreign countries, a talent in animation, a month's income, in exchange for dollars is not allowed to have two or three thousand, in exchange for Fusang currency, there must also be a meaning of more than 100,000, but in China? only a few dozen yuan, no more than one or two hundred, counting the exchange rate, of course the talent will be lost.

This is a problem left over from history, and in fact, the state cannot be blamed.

All in all, as far as the current situation in China is concerned, not only the shortage of talents, but also the status of animation in society is seriously insufficient. And the opportunity for this change is also very simple, that is, the growth of the post-80s. As the post-80s generation grows up and becomes the main consumer group in society, they will be exposed to animation since childhood, which will promote social changes and then promote the development of the entire industry. What Zhou Fangyuan has to do now is to add a fire to it. Take him as an example, the earliest batch of the post-80s generation is about to graduate from college or even has graduated, and the latter batch is currently in high school or about to go to high school, this time is the fastest stage for them to receive new things, look at the "three major migrant workers" who were originally the most famous in China, isn't it promoted by the post-80s? It has even affected the post-90s and post-00s, so in fact, to be precise, this time is the best choice.

So Zhou Fangyuan got Okubo over and asked him to make a complete set of comics for "Ethereal". The level of comics is quite good, and the painting style is capable, which is one of Zhou Fangyuan's favorite painting styles.

The reason why it is not so famous is mainly because the network itself has not developed, and at the same time, there are problems in the market, so Yuanfang Comics has been half-dead, even if Tengxun Xiaoma has recommended Zhou Fangyuan several times, but the effect is not very good. Zhou Fangyuan is not in a hurry, he knows, what kind of industry the Internet is in the future, and what kind of industry is comics, what he has to do now is to seize the market, seize the current market with little bit as much as possible into his own hands, and at the same time promote the market as much as possible, and when the bonus period really comes, he will establish his absolute advantage in the online literature and animation industry in one fell swoop.

And because of this consideration, Zhou Fangyuan gave Zhang Bing a task, that is, to dig the foot of the wall!

Yes, the domestic market is shrinking, the development of the industry is seriously lagging behind, the brain drain is serious, and the follow-up replenishment of fresh blood is also very problematic...... In that case, then go straight to the outside for a blood transfusion. Fuso, as one of the most important animation markets in the world, is almost equal to Midi, and there are countless domestic comic talents, and countless newcomers emerge every year, but there are more talents who can only be eliminated. Being eliminated is not necessarily because they are not at a good level, of course, there must still be shortcomings, but bad luck is also one thing. Either they didn't find the right market, or they happened to collide with the gods and were robbed of the limelight by the other party.

All in all, there are all kinds of possibilities, but the end result is that these talents are also buried.

Zhou Fangyuan wants to discover these people, and not only talents in comics, magazines, animation production, and animation distribution...... As long as it is useful, he wants it. For this reason, he also set aside 30 million to poach people. The result is of course gratifying, Zhang Bing called him two days ago and clearly told him that after this period of hard work, Zhang Bing has recruited more than a dozen cartoonists for him, of course, although he has become a cartoonist, he is actually a painter who is not famous, but Zhou Fangyuan does not mind.

In the case of the magazine, Zhou Fangyuan originally wanted to dig up a magazine directly, but in the end, Zhang Bing persuaded him that it was not necessary.

Magazines are the camp of traditional literary media, and this aspect is not weak in China, whether it is editors, designers or distributors, there are talents in this area in China, including printing houses, etc., and there are also in China, the only thing that Zhou Fangyuan lacks is the editor of comics, so Zhang Bing focused on a comic magazine that is very famous in Fusang, and spent a lot of money to dig up the deputy editor-in-chief of the other party. There are also a lot of famous comics that have been unearthed by this hand.,Although there is no super-best of the gods.,But overall it's pretty good.。

After reading this person's resume, Zhou Fangyuan finally nodded with satisfaction.

Then there are the talents in animation production, and there are many large animation production companies in Fuso, many of which are internationally renowned, but there are also countless small companies. These small companies can't compete with big companies, and they can't grab good scripts, and many animation companies even rely on production to make a living. But I have to say that these small companies have the strength, as long as they are given enough money and good works, they can also produce eye-catching works, but this is the problem.

They lack money, they lack fame, they can't attract famous writers, they can't compete with big companies, they don't even have a complete distribution channel...... Therefore, if a small company wants to become big, it is basically difficult to do it unless it is funded by a large enterprise. After all, the animation industry is different from the Internet industry, the Internet is an emerging industry, the market has just started, and there are too many opportunities to grab. But what about the animation industry? Planting flowers in the future, this is a big market. In today's Fusang, this is also not a small market, but the market for planting flowers in the future is a blank slate, and large and small capitals can be allowed to wander in it, and small companies and even studios have a chance to get ahead. In today's Fuso animation market, large companies have basically controlled all the possibilities, and small companies and studios basically can't get ahead by relying on their own efforts.

This is also the current situation of the animation industry in Fuso, why will the animation industry in Fuso begin to decline in more than a decade?

The market is sometimes not just about the number of people, but also about the region.

Fuso is too small after all, and several large companies have already carved up the market, both at the consumer level and at the geographical level. Young people with potential can't get ahead, and the system of big companies is inevitably stiff, so how can there be no reason to be invincible if they lack fresh themes and ideas? Of course, no matter how defeated Zhou Fangyuan is, before Zhou Fangyuan is reborn, as far as the animation industry is concerned, it is still inferior to Fusang, this is a fact, and it must be admitted.

Having said all this, in the final analysis, the competition in Fuso's country is too fierce, so fierce that many small companies and studios must play the legal sideball if they want to survive, of course, that kind of work is not illegal in Fuso, but it is definitely not the mainstream. In short, it was very difficult for everyone to survive. In this case, Zhang Bing appeared in front of these small companies or studios waving a check, giving them a chance to live, how would these people choose?

Even if the place of work is planting flowers, these people don't seem to have any more options.

Zhang Bing contacted a small company and two studios, originally he was going to choose one of the three, but after he said his purpose, all three agreed to follow him to Huaxia.

It was a surprise to him, even though it was a good thing...... However, the money in hand is limited. dug up writers, dug up publishing talents, although animation production talents are the majority, but according to his calculations at the beginning, the money Zhou Fangyuan gave him was enough for him to dig one at most. Now that there are three of them at the same time, he has to think about it.

It doesn't matter if this is a thought, the three parties on the other side have shown a relatively eager willingness.

This soldier is also a bit of a brain, he is ready to notice the other party's anxious look, think about it, and have the courage to try to lower the price of one of the two studios, that is, the relatively small one of the two studios. As a result, the other party actually accepted his lower price. This made Zhang Bing think of something all of a sudden, so he began to lower the price in the three directions.

The final result was that he used the money given to him by Zhou Fangyuan to dig up a small company and two studios to plant flowers.

Zhou Fangyuan also expressed some surprise after hearing the news. But that's not bad, it's enough to stand on his side anyway, so it's good for him.

With so many talents in animation production all of a sudden, Zhou Fangyuan finally let go.

An hour after meeting with Zhang Bing Okubo and them, he separately met with the Fuso people who had been poached.

The manga artists were handed over by him to Okubo and Zhang Bing, who is now the head of the distant manga creation team, and he himself is responsible for the creation of the manga and also takes care of the other manga artists.

The deputy editor-in-chief who was dug up, a middle-aged man named Yuta Miura, was arranged by him to be the deputy director of the editorial department of the distant comics, but the main job was still done by him, although the original director of the editorial department was still in this position, but Zhou Fangyuan was ready to let him start the formation of the magazine, so it won't be long before this Yuta Miura became the head of the editorial department.

As for the talents in comic production, there are more than 50 people who are willing to plant flowers. After Zhou Fangyuan met them, he was going to arrange them in Yuanfang Media, so in the future, Yuanfang Comics would definitely be transferred to the capital, and Yuanfang Media would also stay together.
