Chapter 38 "The Adventures of the Little Mouse" was shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award
Ma Hua thought about it for a long time, found Chu Huan, and once again expressed that he wanted to take "The Adventures of Little Mouse" to the Golden Dragon Awards.
Chu Huan couldn't bear to refuse when he saw his sincere appearance, but under his lavish consumption, the company's finances were close to drying up, and after paying next month's salary, he couldn't get liquidity.
Moreover, the picture quality of "The Adventures of Little Mouse" is so poor, maybe the first round of testing will be brushed, and it will be a fart.
Thinking about it, there is a place of support, that is, in the past few days, a batch of genuine comic artists and discs of "The Adventures of Little Mouse" have been released, which may come in handy.
"Brother Hua, you also know the situation of the company, and there is a lot of financial pressure. In this case, you go to Chen Yuan's assistant, and I will give you 1,000 discs and 500 sets of comic books, and you can use them for public relations. ”
"As for your round-trip ticket to the magic capital, the company can also reimburse it, and the rest can only rely on yourself. ”
It's impossible to say that it's not lost, many film companies, in the public awards, the public relations expenses required are almost as much as the production costs of the film, and the animation company is a little worse, that's not the same.
I just gave some discs and comic books, the total value is only twenty or thirty thousand, and it is really not easy to succeed in public relations with this money.
Even if he sent all the discs and comic books to the judges, he couldn't even afford the shipping costs.
Although MCA received a month's salary, the company paid for food and housing, and spent a little, and more than 3,600 yuan.
However, it is really difficult to stay in a hotel to eat in the magic capital, and the consumption here is high, I am afraid that it will be spent in a few days.
MCA got on the plane to the magic capital with a lot of heart, and the discs and comic books were all checked in.
When I got off the plane, I had to put it in the back seat with a large bag of luggage, and the trunk of the taxi could not fit it.
When I arrived at the receiving place of the Golden Dragon Award, I submitted the entries and documents.
The staff told MCA that if he passed the preliminary examination, he would be notified within seven working days.
After that, he would call and tell MCA that he could go back to his hometown.
The public relations team of many animation companies will rent a theater, invite the judges of the Golden Dragon Award to watch it, and give a red envelope afterwards, of course, MCA does not have this kind of capital.
MCA rented a house in the hotel, pulled all the things he brought in, and then he didn't know what to do.
Regarding public relations, he used to hand over to the public relations team, and he really didn't know how to operate it by himself.
Moreover, it is really inconvenient to carry so many comic books and discs.
MCA carried a bag full of discs and comics, and went outside the hotel to swipe a shared bicycle.
After thinking about it for a long time, I decided not to mail it, and I didn't have the capital, so I worked hard to send the works to the judges' homes one by one.
In this way, from noon to evening, only three were delivered, and the efficiency was really outrageous.
Moreover, the judges have received more discs and comic books, and it is really difficult to say whether they will read them or not.
When riding to the overnight market, MCA stopped to take a break and have a bite to eat.
"Brother, this stall is mine. ”
"What a stall, I'm not setting up a stall. ”
Ma Hua was stunned, and he was thought to be setting up a stall, and suddenly noticed the bulging bag behind him, and then he suddenly realized.
"Oh, then please let me go a little bit, I'm going to do business. ”
Ma Hua took two steps and watched the guy take out a folding table, spread the floor on it, and take out all kinds of gadgets from the cart.
MCA had a whim, it is very inconvenient to carry so many discs and comic books in the hotel, and if you sell a little, you can make money, not to mention, maybe it can also play a role in publicity.
"Eh, big brother, can I lend you a little bit, I'll put a disc and a comic book. ”
The stall owner nodded and agreed, he was selling some knick-knacks that girls liked, nail clippers, hairpins, things inside colored rubber bands, discs and comic books, which would not affect his business.
"Okay, you can just put it aside, but brother, who bought your comic, business is not how you do it. ”
Ma Hua smiled, and it was not easy to say anything.
The eldest brother who set up the stall asked MCA again.
"Brother, how do you sell comic books and discs?"
"Ten dollars a disc and six dollars a comic. ”
"A disc costs 10 yuan? Aren't all discs worth two dollars a piece? A comic book that is so thin costs six yuan a piece, it's too expensive. ”
The eldest brother who set up the stall couldn't stand the price and exclaimed.
"I'm genuine, look at how fine this disc is, look at the shell of this disc, how beautiful it is, can ordinary pirated discs compare? This kind of disc is not easy to break, and it can be stored for a hundred years. And this comic book, look at the quality of this paper, you touch this feel, and tell you that the cost of this paper is ten times that of those pirated copies. And how good you look at oil paint, it's almost the same as watching TV, where are those black and white comic books that are easy to rot can be compared, this kind of genuine comic book will not wrinkle if it is kept for twenty or thirty years, and it is the same as new. ”
"Brother, you set up a stall and sell genuine copies, it's awesome. ”
MCA stayed here to sell, and the girl came to buy something, and someone asked him to make an offer.
In the middle of the night, not a single disc was sold, but a dozen comic books were sold, until the backpack was empty.
When the girls saw this comic, they all liked it surprisingly.
If you like it, you don't care about a few extra dollars, which can be regarded as supporting the genuine version.
After twelve o'clock, the big brother who was going to leave told MCA.
"You can't sell discs like this, who will buy cartoons that I've never heard of, I suggest you can rent a projector and put it in public, the park has a lot of people, and there is enough space, attract children first, and then sell it, so the effect is much better." ”
"Thank you, big brother. ”
The words of the stall buddies reminded Ma Hua that he didn't have the money to rent a screening room, and he didn't have the face to invite the judges to come and see it, and he didn't even have the money to mail it.
But he could rent a projector, hang a small movie screen, and put it in the park, and he wouldn't believe that no one would come to see it.
In this way, the next day, MCA rented equipment and became an animation projectionist in the park.
Because I haven't seen it and the content is really good-looking, the brain hole is very big, the content is also positive, there are a lot of children who like to watch, even the adults who walk, and even the middle-aged and elderly have a lot of people who stop and can't walk.
Every time MCA is screened, it is even more lively than the square dance aunt's side, like an open-air theater.
His fame has also started little by little, and the sales of his comic books and discs are getting better and better day by day.
In the end, it was sold out, and I could call the company to deliver the goods.
"The Adventures of Little Mouse" has begun to gain popularity in the animation circle of the magic capital, and has even attracted the attention of the judges of the Golden Dragon Award.
They also had a group viewing internally, and this work shocked everyone, with such a small staff and such a short time, it is so rare to make such an excellent anime work.
The spirit shown in this work touched all those present.
On the seventh day, the Golden Dragon Award sent a notice to MCA, telling MCA that "The Adventures of Little Mouse" had passed the initial review.
And, through the discussion and decision of all the judges, "The Adventures of Little Mouse" not only passed the preliminary review, but also was shortlisted for this year's Golden Dragon Award.
Ma Hua was crazy with joy when he heard it, and he had a lot of works before, but it was really the first time that he was shortlisted.
That night, after the shortlist was announced, it also caused an uproar in the entire animation circle, and it was really unexpected that an animation production that looked shoddy was shortlisted for the Golden Dragon Award.
The reputation of "The Adventures of Little Mouse" was completely out.
MCA also embarked on the journey home.
