Chapter 191: Grinning is not a good thing
Although "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" said that the above appropriation, in fact, the actual expenditure far exceeded the above appropriation.
When the first season ended, Zhang Liang got Shao Xiaomin's summary report only to find that in order to make this cartoon go smoothly, Zhang Liang's studio actually invested more than one million by itself, and this is not counting the expenses of the celebration banquet during the period, daily expenses and so on. And the so-called follow-up appropriation, naturally, there is not even a shadow!
As a project funded above, Zhang Liang is just an executor, so a lot of the income from this cartoon is directly turned into financial income, but Zhang Liang's studio can only get a small part. Although "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" is very popular now, the click-through rates of major video websites are quite good, and the traffic income brought by this page view is also not bad, but in fact, it can rarely reach Zhang Liang.
Although the income of the major video websites has not yet been settled, and now it is only a reprint fee at the beginning, but if you really calculate it well, the first season produced by Zhang Liang not only did not make money, but also lost a lot!
Of course, Zhang Liang has earned a lot of prestige in this cartoon, but Shao Xiaomin, as an agent, doesn't know anything about it, so in her opinion, this animation production is definitely a loss-making deal!
And the prestige thing, from the gradual decrease in the corresponding prestige income from the broadcast of the next few episodes of the animation, you can also feel the shortcomings of prestige income in a certain field, so even if the second season is produced, in terms of prestige, it is actually not very helpful to Zhang Liang.
Although his current animation production team is also stable, there are fewer and fewer things he needs to intervene in the production of animation today, although it is not yet to the point of completely giving up, but as long as he goes through a period of running-in and honing, Zhang Liang feels that in the future, he estimates that as long as he gives them the script and a general idea, they will be able to make an episode of animation.
Of course, that is naturally in the future, and now he still needs to be involved.
What's more, now he has an additional task as the chief director of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", especially at the beginning of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Zhang Liang was busy almost every day, and now the first season is finally over, and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is also on the right track, you can relax a little and start the second season of "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year"?
Even if this is a good thing to promote patriotism and promote the prestige of our country, Zhang Liang is also a person, he also has selfishness, and there are times when he wants to be lazy.
Of course, the most important thing is to earn it because of lack of prestige!
Moreover, even if you don't have prestige, you don't even have to make money, so how much motivation do you say Zhang Liang can have?
Therefore, for the above urging, Zhang Liang's response is also in all aspects.
Cartoons need a respite and digestion, and the second season will be withdrawn as soon as the first season ends, so what is the first season and the second season, just be together, there is no point in dividing it at all, isn't it, the reason why it is separated, has its own meaning. What's more, this is a patriotic-themed animation, and if this kind of feelings are instilled too much, it may cause a negative impact, so gradual is a more reasonable way.
That's all for the plot.,It's over in a hurry.,What to do in the future?How can a replay be so attractive? And every once in a while, a season comes out.,This can not only promote but also remind people of the past plot.,This can be regarded as conforming to sustainable development.。
Not only that, but Zhang Liang is also pouring bitter water on his side about the output of funds and the like, saying that he has invested so much for this cartoon, and finally sacrificed so much energy and finally didn't make money, not to mention, he has to lose money himself, how to do this kind of business, isn't it?
Then coupled with Zhang Liang's recent busy work with "Smiling Proud Jianghu", as well as wording such as writing and so on, the second season was simply dragged down.
In short: no money, no energy, no motivation.
For the reason given by Zhang Liang, Zhu Zaibao thinks it is still very reasonable, so when Zhang Liang's ideas are responded to above, the above can be understood, and Zhang Liang's idea of sustainable development is also quite good, so he is not in a hurry to produce the second season, anyway, this year's task has been completed, isn't it?
It's just that Zhu Zaibao felt that the matter was done, and he should be able to relax for a while, when a headache pressed on his head again, and it seemed that this matter was even more tricky than before!
Before, it would be good to make a cartoon that promoted patriotic feelings, and the results of domestic animation were there, so even if it was on the street, it was reasonable, but this time, it was completely two concepts!
This seems to be a bet on the dignity and status of Huaxia animation!
Maybe it's the other party deliberately suppressing, maybe things are not as complicated as they imagined, but this battle must not be lost, once lost, the confidence that Huaxia Animation has built up will be suppressed in an instant, and it will be eroded in various ways in culture!
But how can this battle be won?
After all, the opponent is the world's number one animation country - neon!
And at this time, the only person Zhu Zaibao can think of is naturally Zhang Liang!
The ratings miracle created by "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" undoubtedly gave a shot in the arm to the Chinese animation industry, and made many people look forward to Chinese movies again, and many animation studios seem to be a little eager to try, which is definitely a good phenomenon, and maybe it is because of this that Neon will make such a moth!
To deal with the big demon king of Neon, Zhu Zaibao knows very well that looking for those so-called "old-timers" will definitely die a miserable death, but in addition to these people, Zhang Liang is the only one who can be found, although he has not been involved in this industry for a long time, but he has created a miracle that has not been created for so many years, isn't it?
In Zhang Liang's body, something wonderful will always happen, and ...... Looking back, Zhang Liang doesn't seem to have really lost!
And the most important point why Zhu Zaibao is looking for Zhang Liang is: People already have this plan, don't they, let's just help him add fuel to the fire!
The first season of "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" has been completed, and the second season is not in a hurry to let him start, isn't the animation studio idle now, isn't this to keep you from wasting resources, how unaffordable it is to raise idlers?
So, Zhu Zaibao came to Zhang Liang's animation studio with a smile, but when Zhang Liang saw Zhu Zaibao's smiling appearance, he knew that there was absolutely nothing good!
After all, there is a saying in Shanghai: Smile and hee is not a good thing!
