Chapter 164: The Correct Posture for Transformers Toy Development
Not long after, Lin Jiaying came over, and when he arrived in Liu Wei's office, when he saw Liu Wei, he still said to Liu Wei with a smile: "Congratulations!"
Liu Wei smiled and said, "Thank you, hurry up and see what is written on it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Well, bring it over and show it to the puppet!" Lin Jiaying said and took Liu Wei's letter, read it from beginning to end, and looked up at Liu Wei with a smile on his face.
Liu Wei knew at a glance that he should be shortlisted, but he didn't listen to Lin Jiaying's words, and he was still unsure, so he hurriedly urged Lin Jiaying and said: "Say it quickly, say it quickly, how about it!"
Lin Jiaying said: "Congratulations to Lei, double happiness is coming, "Transformers" has been shortlisted!"
When Liu Wei heard this, the stone in his heart could be regarded as letting go, and he clenched his fists and said excitedly to Lin Jiaying: "Great! ā
Lin Jiaying translated the new content to Liu Wei, which basically means that he first thanked Liu Wei for being able to participate in the selection of the Oscars, after the judges have been reviewing, everyone was shocked and attracted by the content and form of "Transformers", and informed Liu Wei that he had been shortlisted for the final competition for the Oscar for Best Animation, and hoped that Liu Wei and his team could participate in this selection.
The time and place are attached to it.
After listening to this, Liu Wei stood up, with a happy smile on his face, and kept walking around the room.
Lin Jiaying smiled and said, "Okay, don't panic, I'm dizzy." I'd like to talk to you about the factory. ā
When Liu Wei heard this, he sat down and said to Lin Jiaying: "What's wrong with the factory?"
Lin Jiaying replied: "The factory has already designed the product, and even made a model here, Lei will see if the system needs to be improved." ā
As he spoke, Lin Jiaying took out his bag and took out a model of a Transformer from it.
Liu Wei saw that the model of this Transformer was the Autobot Optimus Prime.
Liu Wei took the Transformers, held them in his hands, groped left and right, and reduced the Transformers to a small truck.
Liu Wei put the tires of the pickup truck on the ground, and he was still able to walk!
Looking at the small truck, Liu Wei couldn't help but say happily: "Yes, that's it! This designer is amazing, he really designed it!"
Lin Jiaying smiled proudly and said: "That department, that department of the puppet family ace designer, of course not ordinary, if there is no problem in the department, let's start distributing the goods!"
Liu Wei nodded and said: "You can do this, but we must maintain our reputation, and the products must be excellent." ā
Lin Jiaying said disapprerovingly: "It doesn't have to be like this, let's just take advantage of the hit of "Transformers" to make a profit, why be so serious?"
When Liu Wei heard this, he said solemnly to Lin Jiaying: "No, you are wrong. This Transformers is going to be our cash cow! and it's going to keep it hot!"
Lin Jiaying looked incredulous.
Liu Wei continued: "You have only seen that the cartoon of "Transformers" will drive the sales of toys, but have you ever thought about it, if you take a long-term view and turn "Transformers" into not just a cartoon, but a memory of a generation, then how influential will it be?"
Lin Jiaying said this, and had some interest, as a key project, nodded and said to Liu Wei: "Lei continued. ā
"I'm still writing the script for 'Transformers.' I haven't finished it yet. I expect it will take at least three more years to make it.
In the future, "Transformers" will definitely become a series, gradually accompanying children to grow up, and the impression of "Transformers" will definitely be deeply embedded in children's minds.
You might say that children will eventually grow up, say goodbye to toys, and the popularity of Transformers will eventually dissipate.
But have you ever learned about something called 'feelings'?
This state of mind is very terrible, and it will prompt some people to have some state of mind, and this state of mind will touch some of the things in people's hearts.
If the popularity of "Transformers" subsides one day in the future, let's create some news about "Transformers", such as making a big movie of "Transformers", will it evoke people's memories of the past?
Will it ignite the feelings of "Transformers" for those who were originally children in the past, but now they are gradually growing up?"
Lin Jiaying didn't think so at first, but with Liu Wei's explanation, he couldn't help but be moved, he didn't expect Liu Wei to think so long-term, and there are relevant plans!
However, Liu Wei did not stop, and continued to say to Lin Jiaying: "Moreover, have you thought about it, do you think there are more boys or girls in the audience of "Transformers" now?"
"Needless to say, it must be a boy's paper, and how many girls like to watch fights!" Lin Jiaying replied without thinking.
Liu Wei nodded and said: "Yes, have you heard of the saying that men are children who will never grow up? Everyone's man has an aggressive gene hidden in his heart, in ancient society, men hunted, needed violence, needed to fight, this is the instinct of being a male."
Now that it is peaceful, there is no need to fight, but the gene of violence still flows in the blood of every man, and many men like to watch war movies, play combat games, and like competitive sports!
These deeply reflect the violent genes of men!
What is the main tone of our "Transformers"? It's combat, it's violence! These are what men like!
Why can't we only sell our toys to children? Why can't we sell our toys to men?
I think it can, and there is a big market, but it is to make the toys more clever and delicate.
For example, if you make a Transformers into a set series, you have all kinds of models of the Decepticons and Autobots, and let them engage in simulated battles, make adult scale models of Transformers and control them remotely, and make games, and do Transformers model competitions, will this attract the attention of men, and will it develop a male market?"
Listening to Liu Wei say this, Lin Jiaying really admired Liu Wei, but I didn't expect Liu Wei to not only make animation so powerful, but also incomparable in the idea of commercial development.
Lin Jiaying said to Liu Wei happily and convincingly: "Liu Xiansen, even convinced! With these ideas of Lei, I have to be convinced! Lei is right, this is indeed a cash cow! I was short-sighted before, and I almost did the love of killing chickens and eggs!"
Liu Wei listened to Lin Jiaying's Hong Kong Island Mandarin here, it was really a little difficult, smiled bitterly, and said to Lin Jiaying: "I see, your Hong Kong Island Mandarin is really a bit nondescript, in the future, I estimate that your focus of work will have to be on the mainland, Mandarin should be studied hard, otherwise it will be too difficult for others to listen!"
