Chapter 110: Blocked
After the press conference, the whole crew was engaged in intense filming.
Li Ming returned to Guangshi by grading, and now it is mid-July, and there are still a few days left to enter the summer vacation, so he has to go back to take the exam.
Usually he doesn't have to go to school, but the final exam is a must, otherwise his father won't be able to pass the level.
During this time, the company has been investing continuously, and Li Ming is also constantly lottery!
Since April, in addition to the funds donated to CUHK, Li Ming has successively invested 50 million yuan into the Spark Fund, set up a laboratory and purchased equipment one after another, and now has newly produced movies and TV series, Li Ming has conducted a lottery for every large-scale investment, and some small expenditures are often missed.
The harvest of these two months is also quite rich: new composite material technology, third-generation air purification technology, polymer sewage purification processor, these are relatively high-end and useful things, and they may be used in the future.
In addition, there are other miscellaneous items that are drawn, as well as some less important techniques or works, all of which are considered reserves.
Xinghuo Company, Li Ming's office.
"Mr. Li, the comics of "League of Legends" have accumulated 7 chapters, and the animation has also produced 4 episodes, and the "Full-time Hunter" manga also has 6 chapters, "Inuyasha" has 4 chapters, "Detective" has 3 chapters, and "Magic Card Girl Sakura" has 4 chapters, but now the publishing house doesn't know where it is?"
"Look, don't you work harder to get the publishing house done first?"
As soon as Li Ming returned to the company, Wen Yuting came over to complain.
The anime department's manga changes to League of Legends have been underway for a few months, and the manga has 7 chapters.
The anime is produced in four simultaneous teams, each responsible for one episode, so that the progress of one episode is guaranteed to be updated every week!
"Don't worry, the marketing department has selected the publishing house and the company responsible for the periphery, and it is currently negotiating, and it will be done soon!"
This is not the first time Wen Yuting has asked Li Ming to urge the publishing house.
Adapted from the "League of Legends Universe" group to the animation team, Li Ming gave the animation team a lot of creativity and character design, and asked the animation department to produce comics.
"Full-Time Hunter", "Inuyasha", "Detective", and "Card Girl Sakura" are one of them.
Most of these comic ideas are provided by Li Ming, as well as the general plot and setting.
Some of them are comics drawn by Li Ming's lottery, and some of them are those he read in his previous life, maybe he can't remember many of them, and it's impossible to remember them all, but there are so many people in the animation department, he just needs to provide the setting and general development direction, and let the people in the animation department expand and improve the plot.
Xinghuo's game department has always been the company's most important profit point; the entertainment department, which was originally slightly better than the animation department, is now also film and television dramas, and music have begun to exert force, "Chainsaw 2" was released for 6 weeks, and won 1.4 billion box office worldwide, earning hundreds of millions for Xinghuo Company, and now it is launching four new dramas at a time, proving the rise of the entertainment department.
But what about the anime department?
So of course the animation department is unwilling, and Wen Yuting is not reconciled, and has been silently letting her sisters complete the comics, waiting for the comic weekly to come out, but now the publishing house has not found it!
It is not unreasonable for Wen Yuting to come over to urge Li Ming, the animation department is at the bottom, and she is also very helpless and under a lot of pressure.
"Soon?" Wen Yuting clasped her hands in front of her, and looked up at Li Ming slightly: "You said the same thing last time!"
"Hmm, is it?" Li Ming was a little embarrassed: "It's true this time, believe me, I'll call and ask Guodong, I'm outside during this time, you know...... It's really fast this time!"
"Okay, then you ask, I'll wait!"
Wen Yuting didn't give Li Ming a chance at all, so she stood aside, ready to see Li Ming call Liang Guodong.
In this way, what else does Li Ming have to say?
I can only take out my mobile phone and call Liang Guodong!
What he just said is also true, because of the audition and the reason for the press conference, he hasn't paid much attention to the company's expansion recently, anyway, the talent reserve is enough, everything that should be prepared is ready, and he can take over the acquisition of the publishing house and the company in charge of the surrounding area, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
"Hey, are you back?" After the phone was connected, Liang Guodong's voice came.
After receiving a call from Li Ming, coupled with the end of the press conference of "Langya Bang", and the approach of the final exam, Liang Guodong and Li Ming must be back.
"Hmm. Li Ming looked at Wen Yuting beside him, nodded in response, and asked, "How is the company's progress in acquiring publishing houses and companies that produce peripherals?"
"It should be soon, now that the price has been negotiated, there are only some copyright and personnel issues left, almost just a few days, Wen Yuting is looking for you again?!"
As the person in charge of the company, Liang Guodong heard Li Ming ask him this question, and he knew why.
Li Ming complained helplessly: "I know you still ask, let's get this matter done as soon as possible, that's all!"
After speaking, Li Ming hung up the phone and looked at Wen Yuting: "You also heard it, it will definitely be done in these two days, you can get the people in the animation department ready!"
"Hmph, I've been ready for a long time!"
Wen Yuting snorted coldly, this preparation has really been prepared for a long time, it has been a few months, how else to prepare?
"Okay, I'm very relieved of you!" Li Ming nodded and said, "Let's go and see how the animation is made first, is there a TV station willing to buy the copyright?"
On the way to the animation department, Li Ming asked casually.
Needless to say, after the acquisition of Knight Company, Xinghuo Company has its own live broadcast platform and video website.
Now the video website is also expanding the copyright, and the movies produced by its own company, TV series, and now animation, are naturally played on the knight video website.
All that's left is to look at the TV station and whether it will buy the broadcast rights!
At present, the ratings of TV stations are generally not high, and there are only a few TV stations with children's channels and animation channels.
With the popularity of "League of Legends", someone should buy the copyright, right?
Wen Yuting said: "The comics haven't been launched yet, and the animation hasn't been talked about yet!"
"Okay, you can do it, anyway, you're in charge of the animation department. ”
Li Ming nodded and followed Wen Yuting into the animation department.
Compared to two months ago, the anime department has been greatly expanded, and all kinds of girls are busy here, divided into their own groups, and each produces a manga or anime, which seems to be in order.
Li Ming watched the animation of "League of Legends" here, as well as the animation of "Full-Time Hunter".
The animation department has started animation production, only "League of Legends" and "Full-Time Hunter", and other comics will be made into animations in the future, but not now, it depends on the market reaction, and at the same time, it will have to wait for the end of the first season of "League of Legends" and "Full-time Hunter".
It's not that the animation department doesn't have the ability to start the production of another animation, which is not difficult, but there is a shortage of manpower.
It's just that making too many animations at a time, when the time comes to play them, it will make users feel that they are buying too many at once, which is too expensive.
It's better to make two animations at a time, at most three, and now after the first season of League of Legends and Hunter is over, you can play it first, make other animations, accumulate some popularity, and then start the production of the second season of animation.
The animation of "League of Legends" is very well-made, after all, there is already a production of promotional videos, plus everyone's familiarity with the various heroes of "League of Legends", the familiarity of the plot of the novel, and the animation produced are very exquisite!
The season of "League of Legends" is expected to be 20-22 episodes, with a 20-minute episode, and if you add the opening and ending credits, it will probably be about 25 minutes.
