After talking about CCTV, it was Ganjiang TV's turn to do its own business.

Gao Chengjian said in a deep voice: "After discussion, we decided to introduce those island country cartoons, and I hope you can bring the tapes over for review as soon as possible." As long as there is no sensitive content in it, we will purchase it. ”

Hearing this, Wu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled: "No problem, I'll call back later, and ask them to send the videotape over." ”

Ganjiang TV was able to reach an agreement so quickly, thanks to the fact that this is a period of Sino-Japanese friendship.

At this time, the background was the Sino-Soviet quarrel, the honeymoon period between China and the United States and Japan, and the encirclement of the Soviet Union by China and Japan in Asia. In 1978, the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Friendship was signed, and Deng Gong and Prime Minister Fukuda exchanged agreements.

At this time, because of the thriving domestic economy, the island country intended to be the leader of Asia, and even hoped to catch up with and surpass the United States economically. Therefore, on the issue of World War II, the government of the island country is acknowledging and generous. In 85, Yasuhiro Nakasone visited a certain shrine, causing a diplomatic crisis, and no prime minister of an island country visited the shrine for 11 years.

It wasn't until the economic crisis in 91 that the bubble burst in the island country, which made him know who his father was. This led to a reversal of the tone. Coupled with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States no longer needed China's support, and the relationship between China and Japan deteriorated rapidly.

At this time, Sino-Japanese relations are so good that this year the government of the island country will provide a loan of 50 billion yen to the Chinese government. Naturally, it is much easier to play some cartoons of island nations than later.

The reason why Wu Ming introduced the animation of the island country to the mainland is also to let the country understand the animation level of the island country and have a greater sense of crisis.

Don't think that Island Country Animation is still the same ass that originally followed Huaxia Animation, always looking at others with old eyes, and still indulging in its own glorious past.

And even if he doesn't introduce it, CCTV will introduce the cartoon "Astro Boy" at the end of the year, maybe because of the relationship between "Hulu Brothers".

A few days later, "Hulu Brothers" was officially logged in on CCTV, and as Wu Ming expected, it became popular all over the country immediately after it was broadcast, and the seven gourd babies became idols in the hearts of all children. At five or six o'clock in the evening, they gather in front of the television and wait for the cartoon to play.

After that, provincial TV stations across the country saw that "Hulu Brothers" was so popular, and they also wanted to get its broadcast rights. It's just that CCTV, Ganjiang TV and Wu Ming have already agreed that they are not allowed to privately grant broadcast rights. They had no choice but to send someone to negotiate with Wu Ming.

Finally, with the addition of CCTV and Ganjiang TV, a total of 28 TV stations bought the broadcast rights of "Hulu Brothers", making a profit of 140,000 yuan. Although it is not much, it is only comparable to the cost of "Hulu Brothers", but it is a good start.

Some publishers have already seen a business opportunity and come to discuss the publication of the Hulu Brothers comics.

In the Modu Art Film Factory, Director Tewei is watching "Hulu Brothers" broadcast by CCTV with a group of factory staff.

Among these people, there are many well-known figures in later generations, such as the factory director Tewei, who is a famous animation artist and one of the founders of the "Chinese School" of animated films, and has created well-known animation masterpieces such as "The Proud General", "Little Tadpole Looking for Mother", "Shepherd Flute", "Landscape Love" and so on.

Yan Dingxian, who directed "Nezha and the Sea", Chang Guangxi, who directed "Baolian Lantern", Dai Tielang, who directed "Black Cat Sheriff", and a large number of excellent animation producers such as Hu Jinqing, Ge Guiyun, Zhou Keqin, Qian Jiajun, etc.

Originally, most of them disdained to watch this cartoon imported from overseas Chinese who returned from Xiangjiang, you must know that even some bigwigs in the animation industry of the island country have to call their predecessors when they see them, not to mention the animation desert area of Xiangjiang!

Even if they later learned that the cartoon was produced by the island animation company, but this company had been acquired by overseas Chinese in Xiangjiang, they still didn't have many ideas to learn.

It wasn't until later that some factory directors gave orders for them to watch and learn, and they erased their faces to watch "Hulu Brothers".

With a "boom", the seven brothers of the gourd turned into a colorful mountain and pressed the goblin under the mountain. The finale of the anime is over.

"I've watched all six episodes of the cartoon, what do you think and think, let's talk about it!" said the factory director Tewei in a deep voice first.

Magic City Art Filmmakers used to be the world's top animation company, but now it is falling behind other countries. Others in the factory may still be immersed in the glorious past, but he is very sober as the factory director. That's why this time I will use "Hulu Brothers" to wake up others and initiate reforms.

Yan Dingxian said with an emotional expression: "This cartoon is really good, and some of the ideas contained in it are worth learning." Especially when I heard that this cartoon is based on a comic book by Xiangjiang, I didn't expect them to write such an educational plot in addition to the plot of fighting and killing. Looks like they've changed a lot there!"

As an important material comic for animation adaptation, Yan Dingxian has also learned about it, especially those drawn by their Chinese. What disappointed him was that the popularity of Xiangjiang's comics was some fight-and-kill plots, or plots of love between men and women. I didn't expect that this time there would finally be a film that could make him look good.

Chang Guangxi smiled: "Old Yan, you are wrong about this." That cartoon was drawn by people who came to Xiangjiang from our mainland, and the cartoons drawn by other people in Xiangjiang are still the same, but I heard that they are already reforming and learning from the island countries. ”

Hearing this, Yan Dingxian showed a look of surprise, and finally suddenly realized: "No wonder I watched this cartoon and felt that the style was very similar to the style in our factory, and it turned out that it was also painted by people from our mainland." ”

"Hulu Brothers" was originally produced by the Modu Art Film Studio, and of course it is similar to their style.

Dai Tielang squinted, touched his chin, pondered for a while, and said: "I think the most important thing we should pay attention to is that this cartoon is a series of cartoons, and the six episodes are all about a plot, which is different from the cartoons we have made in the past." ”

Dai Tielang's friend and student, Yin Xiyong nodded and agreed: "Yes, in the past, what our factory produced was either an animated feature film like "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", or an animated short film like "Zhu Bajie Eats Watermelon", and there was really no series of cartoons like "Hulu Brothers". It is said that abroad the way in which such a series of cartoons is broadcast on TV has become popular. ”

After some exchanges, the factory director Tewei finally spoke.

"As Comrade Xiao Dai and Comrade Xiao Yin said, our factory has not produced a series of cartoons, which is also what worries me. ”

The others were taken aback and couldn't understand what to worry about.
