The news that the anime version of "Datang" is about to premiere on TV Tokyo has spread like a hurricane all over the book. Millions of Zhang Shaojie's fanatical fans began to continue to promote relevant news to others, and tens of millions of anime lovers are also waiting to see.

Every day, some "lace" and "insiders" about the anime version of "Datang" will be mentioned by at least more than 10 million people on different occasions.

At a station in Tokyo, office workers, students, and young people waiting for the subway gather together, not like middle-aged and elderly people, reading newspapers with a straight face.

More teenagers have a comic book or some entertainment products such as Walkmans. The teenagers of this era, although they are not as homely as they were later, but the atmosphere of advocating animation in the whole country has taken shape. Some of the post-60s and 70s generations have basically grown up with elements such as anime, games, and idols.

A group of strange young people are together, looking at each other's comics and entertainment publications, and they can't help but feel cordial. In the train station, start talking.

"The latest anime is new.,It's pretty powerful! "Football Player", "Aralei", it is said that the manga "Dragon Ball" that has just been serialized is also making anime at the same time, so many excellent works, I don't know which one to chase! A twenty-three or four-year-old man sighed.

"Cut, the most anticipated thing should be the new anime of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!" A girl in a pink dress said, "That's the real big deal!" Whether it is the excitement of the original work of "Datang" or the scale of investment in this anime, it is also unprecedented. I dare to say that the anime generation of "Datang" will definitely be able to win "Soccer Player", "Aralei" and "Dragon Ball"! ”

"It's okay to say the rest, but "Dragon Ball" is also very strong, and it was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" not long ago, and it already belongs to the king of popularity! Although the movie version of "Datang" is very popular, "Dragon Ball" is an anime adapted from a comic and has a stronger advantage. Of course, the manga of "Dragon Ball" has just been serialized, and even if the anime version is produced simultaneously, it will have to wait for the second half of this year. And "Datang" is already ready to go, and it will soon premiere on TV Tokyo. I estimate that these two major anime will not play against each other this year! A man with glasses pushed his black-rimmed glasses, revealing a wise man's attitude.

The girl in red suddenly said angrily: "The little "Dragon Ball" dares to fight with "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"? You know, there is an idiom called Double Dragon Playing Pearls! Zhang Shaojie killed Toriyama Ming in seconds, there is no suspense, the two are not at the same level at all! ”

"What's wrong with Zhang Shaojie, he is popular? Sooner or later, Akira Toriyama's popularity will become world-class! When a certain Akira Toriyama heard this, he began to argue.

Many young people began with a gentle discussion.

But as the smell of gunpowder began to permeate between Zhang Shaojie's fans and Akira Toriyama's fans, it wasn't long before the people at the train station began to divide into three categories: Zhang Fen, Bird Powder, and Soy Sauce Fans

A middle-aged and elderly passenger shook his head and said, "What a Beat Generation!" ”

On February 20, ——————————————, Huang Xizhao came back from the book and brought a copy of the 40 episodes of the "Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" anime. The content of this season is only one-tenth of the entire anime of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". However, Asia Television purchased the exclusive Chinese broadcast rights of this anime, but it also cost 8 million Hong Kong dollars. Equivalent to the cost of a self-produced TV series on ATV.

You must know that ATV's TV dramas are gradually beginning to be high-quality, and the average budget for each TV series will reach about 10 million Hong Kong dollars. ATV produces more than 10 self-produced dramas every year, with an annual budget of HK$150 million. Compared with TVB's annual production budget of 70 or 80 million Hong Kong dollars, it has been twice as high.

Although ATV is a major producer of TV dramas, the more than 10 self-made dramas produced every year still cannot meet the needs of TV audiences. Therefore, more than 20 TV dramas will be purchased from Taiwan, Singapore, the mainland, Europe and the United States every year as a supplement to the shortage of self-made dramas.

And cartoons, as a must-see program for children. Although the ratings of these programs cannot be compared with TV dramas, they are also the market that the two major TV media in Hong Kong must compete for.

Of course, neither Asia Television nor TVB in Hong Kong has the ability to produce some high-level animation. Therefore, animation is basically purchased from developed animation regions in Europe and the United States.

Among them, the animation purchased from the book accounts for more than seventy percent. This is also mainly due to the fact that this anime is well-made and has high ratings.

"Thank you!" Zhang Shaojie greeted the dusty Huang Xizhao at the airport and said.

Huang Xizhao said with a smile: "What is the hard work, it is nothing more than going to the book to investigate, and then signing." However, this time I went to Yuben to see and hear, which made people feel very touching! ”

Zhang Shaojie was stunned and said, "What do you feel?" ”

"Touched? The main reason is that I attach great importance to copyright development. For example, publishing houses that have a large number of copyrights have regarded these book copyrights as a gold mine that can dig out greater value, either for film and television adaptations, or for animation adaptations. Tokuma Shoten tried many breakthroughs such as record production, movies, manga, anime, etc., but eventually concentrated on anime. Kadokawa Bookstore, another publishing company, has transformed into the fifth largest film company, adapting the most valuable books it owns into the most popular movies, so as to realize the mutual promotion and development of the two major industries of books and film and television. In addition, some traditional paper media have begun to attach importance to holding TV stations, and gradually form a larger media distribution network. These new media development models are truly inspiring! Huang Xizhao said with a smile.

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "These cross-industry developments, in essence, are a way to explore the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain and strengthen their competitiveness. In fact, in my hands, I have a comic company, TV media, print media, a film company, and a game company! These companies can be completely integrated into a force, and the energy that bursts out will not be inferior to those companies in this world. ”

Although Huang Xizhao thinks that what Zhang Shaojie said is not a big word. However, at present, Zhang Shaojie's Longteng's Xiaobawang, ATV, Ming Pao, and Tianxia Publishing are all leaders in their respective industries.

The head of a major company is willing to be someone else's subordinate?

Huang Xizhao thought to himself, if it was Xiaobawang to integrate other companies, it would be better to say. If ATV, Tianxia, and Ming Pao are the main leaders of resource integration, it will be difficult to convince the public.

While the two were talking, they had already gotten into the company's pick-up car.

The group, galloping, returned to ATV's headquarters building.

In 1984, Asia Television was undoubtedly beautiful. For many years, high-quality feature-length TV drama blockbusters, as well as novel variety shows, talent shows, and even exclusive news, also occupy a great advantage.

"Huo Yuanjia", "Chen Zhen", "The Legend of Deer and Ding" and so on, most of the highest-rated TV dramas in Hong Kong in recent years are basically Asian TV productions.

The talent show "Super Girl" and "Millionaire", which is more popular than [***] color live broadcast, have made ATV the most popular TV media in Hong Kong.

However, compared with the television media in the United States and in the United States, Hong Kong's television media still has a major deficiency -- the ability to produce cartoons is weak.

The United States has the famous children's animation giant Disney, as well as Marvel Company and DC Company, which are popular with teenagers and adults.

It is said that it has countless animation production companies, and the annual output value of animation accounts for half of the world's animation industry, and the quality of animation is not inferior to that of Europe and the United States. For the peripheral commercial development of animation products, it is even more prosperous and enviable.

Although Hong Kong has a well-developed comic industry, due to the small number of talents and the lack of funds, it has not been able to expand the comic industry to the level of the animation industry.

TVB, Asia Television, the vast majority of the animation programs broadcast by the two major TV stations are imported from Europe and the United States, and a few are ink cartoons such as "Havoc in Heaven" in the mainland. Hong Kong's only local animation work "Old Master" has not had much influence after it left Hong Kong.

As for the most popular comics in Hong Kong, "Bruce Lee", "Dragon Tiger Gate", and "Chinese Heroes", they have never tried anime adaptations.

Now, the Tokuma Bookstore has adapted "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" into an anime, and Asia Television still needs to buy the animation rights from the book, which has to make people sigh - the Hong Kong animation industry is too weak!

Asia Television has already obtained a copy of the anime version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of Datang". However, in terms of Chinese dubbing, it is still necessary to find a suitable voice actor. The dubbing of the Cantonese version and the dubbing of the Chinese version are all needed.

After all, the Chinese copyright bought by ATV not only includes the copyright in Hong Kong, but also includes the copyright in Chinese mainland, Taiwan and Singapore.

Although, Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Singapore and other markets have certain uncertain surnames. However, the film version of "The Great Tang" has been distributed in all Chinese regions, and the anime version is distributed in the entire Chinese region, so there should be no obstacles.

Before the Chinese dubbing was completed, Zhang Shaojie, Huang Xizhao, Ma Rongcheng and others began to watch the "Da Tang" anime with Chinese subtitles in advance in the screening hall of Asia Television
