066 Animating
"What writer doesn't want to animate their work?" Liu Nianzhou sighed, "It's a pity that that's the treatment that only a great god has." Like us, no one is willing to do it even if the copyright is given away for free. ”
Zhong Yue can understand. Over the years, although the state has vigorously supported the animation industry. However, the ones that can make money from animation are basically works of young age, like Red Cat and Xiyangyang.
Otherwise, it is related to the future, and the animation can be broadcast on the TV station, and after it has some popularity, it will recover the cost through peripheral products.
It is precisely because it is difficult to recover costs, so investors are desperately trying to reduce costs, and it is strange that the quality of the animations produced can be high. Without high-quality works, how can the animation industry develop? In this way, the entire animation industry fell into a vicious circle.
Take online novels as an example, only works with a huge audience have the value of adaptation. This is also a part of online novels to enhance the value of IP. Even if the anime adaptation will lose money, it can expand its influence, and it is not too much of a loss overall.
Ordinary writers like Liu Nianzhou don't have such treatment. As he himself said, no one is willing to give away the copyright for nothing.
Zhong Yue touched his chin and said, "I'm a little interested." ”
"Forget it." When Liu Nianzhou returned to his hometown, he had already heard that this cousin had made a lot of money by opening a company and had a net worth of tens of millions. But knowing that it was a loss, he said that he couldn't pit his brother by saying anything.
Zhong Yue thought about it and didn't say anything more about it. It was just an idea that popped into him, and it had to be carefully considered.
After eating, Zhong Yue took him back to the house, and as soon as he entered the door, Liu Nianzhou saw the pair of women's slippers and asked him, "Do you have a girlfriend?" ”
"Not yet, but soon." Zhong Yue couldn't help but think of Xia Ruoying and Xia Huilan, who hadn't seen each other for almost a month, they were in constant contact, but they didn't have time to meet.
Liu Nianzhou smiled, "When will you bring it out to see me?" ”
"Okay."
…………
In the afternoon, Liu Nianzhou was going to his wife's cousin, and after Zhong Yue sent him over, he returned to the company, and after dealing with some backlog of business, he instructed the new secretary, "Go and ask Designer Zhang Yu to come over." ”
After a while, a young girl in her early twenties knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Zhong, are you looking for me?" ”
"Sit." Zhong Yue invited her to sit down and said, "I'm looking for you today either because of business, or because I want to ask you something." ”
When Zhang Yu heard this, he looked a little nervous. She is the highest-level original artist who jumped from Zhuo Yi, and when she was in the original company, it was because the boss of the family wanted to chase her that she had the idea of changing jobs. It just so happened that this company came to poach people, and she didn't think about it for long before she agreed.
Zhong Yue didn't notice the change in her expression and asked her, "Do you know any friends who do animation art?" To be relatively high-level. ”
When Zhang Yu heard this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, she came to this company with an indifferent attitude, and at her level, she didn't have to worry about the company's want. It wasn't until she saw the "mobile game development platform" that she was shocked on the spot. With this development platform, as long as there are no major decision-making mistakes, the company will definitely be one of the top mobile game companies in the industry in the future.
From that moment on, she put away her indifferent attitude and threw herself into her work with the greatest enthusiasm. Her goal is to become the top concept artist in the industry, and only with such a promising company can she achieve her goal as quickly as possible.
That's why she was so nervous about Zhong Yue's attitude.
She thought about it seriously for a while and said, "I used to have a few classmates who did animation, but I haven't talked about the department for a long time, and I don't know how I'm doing now." Why don't you tell me who you need, and I'll inquire about it for you? ”
"A character design, a concept art, a special effect, a sound effect." Zhong Yue thought about it and said what he requested.
Zhang Yu was a little surprised, such a combination is a bit nonsensical, and it is not a team at all. She has a more upright personality and can't help but say, "Boss, do you want to make cartoons?" This doesn't seem to be enough. ”
During this period of getting along, Zhong Yue knew her character earlier, but he didn't feel offended, and said, "It's not enough, let's recruit it when it's not enough." ”
After Zhang Yu left, he pondered in the office alone.
He is a person who has a plan to do things, and he started making mobile games because of the low threshold. He has never focused his career on mobile games. When he decided to make a "mobile game development platform", he never worried about whether the mobile game company could make money.
Unexpectedly, the first game he made not only did not lose, but made a lot of money. It was a bonus, allowing him to advance some of his plans. Like easy to save electricity, he can invest more money in promotion.
As he increases the investment of funds, the development of easy power saving has entered a blowout period, and he expects that by the end of this month, the installed capacity will exceed 5 million. At this growth rate, in another month, it may be able to break 10 million.
These two companies don't have to worry about him for the time being. He had another plan, setting his sights on animation.
Animation and games are both entertainment industries, and in many cases, they can complement each other. If the cartoon he made can become popular, he will make a mobile game of the same name in the future, and there will be countless potential players with almost no need to promote it. One step further, when he sets foot in the film industry in the future and makes a live-action movie of the same name, it is not too simple to make money.
That's the benefit of increased IP value.
Nowadays, the domestic animation industry is sluggish, and there are many restrictions on foreign animation invasion. This means that there is an endless and vast market here.
As long as he can successfully open this market and succeed, then he is the leader who has led the rise of the entire animation industry. will gain great prestige and unparalleled influence.
It's like Gong Qijun is to neighboring countries.
Of course, it is definitely difficult to change the status quo of the animation industry today, otherwise it would not be his turn to do it. His solution is simple, just like he did in a mobile game company, which is to control costs.
Even if my quality is a little worse than yours, my cost is only one-fifth, one-tenth, or even one-hundredth of yours. I'll be able to take you down.
The animation industry can't do it, it's nothing more than that the investment income is not proportional. An episode of animation, calculated in 20 minutes, no matter how much you compress the cost, it will cost tens of thousands. As for the purchase price of the TV station, even if you have a relationship with the sky, you can get a cartoon costing tens of thousands of yuan per episode on CCTV, which is basically a few hundred yuan per minute.
For Zhong Yue, there is a way to control the cost.
