Spark Chairman's Office.
After reading the arrangement of the animation festival, Zhou Yang said with a smile: "The domestic animation companies participating in the exhibition are about to integrate the zodiac." β
"Fortunately, there are popular works such as our "Super Ability" and micro-comics, otherwise foreign friends would have thought they had entered the zoo when they came."
"I've watched "Gourd Baby" and "Avanti", but "Nine-colored Deer" doesn't seem to have an impression......"
"Boss, have you seen it?"
Zhang Fan thought for a moment and shook his head, no one else had heard of it.
Sun Wenchang said with a smile: ""Nine-colored Deer" is a classic masterpiece of Modu Art Film Studio. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou, you are not very familiar with it. It's because this anime has only 1 episode. You may not remember if you have seen it. β
"In fact, "Gourd Baby", "Sloppy King", and "Black Cat Sheriff" are all works of the Modu Art Products Factory......"
"I think so."
Zhang Fan said with a smile: "I remember that many of the classic animations I watched when I was a child were launched by this company...... That's right, Yang Shu. Do you think there is any potential for these old animations to be redeveloped? β
Yang Shu is the current head of the three-legged bird, who has been engaged in the animation industry for more than 10 years and is a veteran comic book fan.
Hearing Zhang Fan's question, Yang Shu nodded and said, "I think many of them have the potential to reopen, but most of them are only suitable for animated film adaptations." Because these old animation themes are too limited, they are suspected of being fried leftovers if they are repackaged......"
However, "Hulu Baby" is quite suitable for a comic book version, and his mythological background is also very reshaped. In addition to the snake spirit and scorpion spirit of Hulu Mountain, you can also add more monsters......"
Zhou Yang said: "According to what you say, it's really ......."
said. Everyone talked about the feasibility of 'adapting old animations'.
Zhang Fan noticed the domestic cartoonists such as 'Xia Da and Yao Feila' in the invitation list, and thought: "Have you found electronic versions of these people's comics?" If they wish, invite them into the Sparrow micro-comics. β
On the side, Qian Yutang nodded and said, "I've been discussing with my colleagues recently. This time, we interrupted to meet with well-known domestic cartoonists......"
"Hmm." Zhang Fan nodded and said: "If domestic animation wants to develop, it must start from the roots. Only when the life of a cartoonist is guaranteed, will there be more excellent works in the future. Good works will also bring new market potential. β
"We are now basically done with the layout of the animation industry. There is a sparrow platform online, a 'Wenmanwu' after the offline, a three-legged bird for publishing and distribution, and four manufacturers of Hongguang Industry for cooperation in surrounding industries. β
"Your next step is to dig deep into high-quality works and release popular anime on schedule every year...... There is no need to worry about capital investment, the money thrown into it will be earned sooner or later. β
"In terms of the operation and publicity of the animation festival. Yutang, you and Wenchang discuss. In the future, we have 8 days to use to try to make the last 'festival' of the year a success. β
"Hmm......" Qian Yutang, Sun Wenchang, Yang Shu and others nodded one after another.
β¦β¦
Let go of the Spark Anime Festival. Zhang Fan was eating lunch and flipped through the "Panda Chat PC Version Week Number JΓΉ Report" on the desktop.
Judging from the report, as of 8 o'clock this morning: the total number of users of Panda Computer has far exceeded the original estimate, with 53.77 million online active users and 61.44 million installed units.
In the first five days, the average daily download volume was more than 10 million, but the installed capacity began to decline in a large area from the 29th, 6 million on the 29th, and 4 million on the 30th.
In the first half of today, only 700,000 people downloaded and installed the machine.
"It looks like the first week of download boom has passed......"
Zhang Fan looked at Lu Feng, the person in charge of the panda, and asked, "Can you keep 500,000 people installed every day in the next 4 months?" β
"It should work." Lu Feng put down the lunch box and said: "The decline in the past two days has been within our expectations, and in fact, the popularity is better than we expected." β
"In the last quarter of this year, we plan to deepen our cooperation with Sparrow. In addition, some version updates are required by users. Sort out the construction yì mentioned by netizens ......"
"I believe that with the increase of games and software in the panda market, the number of users will maintain a steady growth."
Zhou Yang said with a smile: "Boss, don't worry, we already have a comprehensive plan in hand to ensure that we will complete the goal of 100 million with Sparrow this year!" When the layout of Japan's micro-communication is completed, it will immediately enter the international market. β
"Hmm." Zhang Fan nodded and smiled: "In fact, we have done very successfully now, and the company's development this year has exceeded our expectations......
β¦β¦
At this point, everyone smiled.
In the past six months, Spark can be said to have grown in a voice of public opinion, and this kind of attention to Cheng DΓΉ is 'more harmful than good' for growing companies. Because as long as you take a wrong step, you will attract the media to sing down.
Fortunately, Xinghuo has not made mistakes all the way from the "Press Conference", and the separation and independence of the Dabai community has added a pair of wings to Xinghuo's take-off. Make good use of the Sparrow platform, and Xinghuo Future will be invincible in the Internet field.
"Not bad." Gao Tingting said: "I think this year is the most correct decision. It is to split the Dabai community to form a sparrow network. At that time, so many people were not optimistic. Haven't we succeeded? β
"Our several successful festivals, including the current user volume of Panda PC, are all brought by Sparrow.com. However, these are also complementary to each other, without the support of fan festivals, cultural festivals, and super animations, Sparrow Network would not have the current 70 million popularity ......"
"By the way, Zhang Fan, when do you plan to cash in on the 'end-of-month pie'? After today, it's August. β
"I was about to tell you." Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Starting tonight, Xia Xiaotian and Professor Wu have already informed me." β
"Then you didn't say it sooner?"
As they spoke, everyone talked about the invitation list and the gifts they had prepared for the evening, and the lunch break ended in a blink of an eye.
β¦β¦
In the afternoon, Zhang Fan and Zhou Yang went to Longsheng Industrial Park to learn about the stocking situation in August. I chatted loudly with Mr. and Mrs. Li Bo for most of the day, and it was close to 4 o'clock when I left.
After returning to the company, Zhang Fan specially told Liu Xing about today's pie, which made her a little surprised and warm.
Originally, Liu Xing thought that Zhang Fan would not invite her, first of all, her position was not enough, and secondly, she felt that in addition to Zhang Lan's relationship, she and Zhang Fan should not be called good friends.
But Zhang Fan's personal invitation made her dispel some personal thoughts.
She is not the only one who is surprised, Liu Wenhua is also one of them.
At the beginning of this month, Liu Wenhua bid farewell to the patent department, where he had worked for more than half a year, under Zhang Fan's arrangement, and entered the position of assistant manager of the marketing department of Weixin Company. Every day is spent in learning.
A week ago, he was assigned to Southeast Asia and other regions to do market research. I only returned to the company yesterday with a few colleagues.
Chairman's Office.
Zhang Fan was flipping through the news and information about the 'Voice Actor Competition', and Liu Wenhua walked into the office under the leadership of Kong Fei.
"Boss. Assistant Liu is here. β
"Well, please sit down with Wenhua."
Zhang Fan smiled and nodded, and after Kong Fei went out, he looked at Liu Wenhua and said, "How was this week's harvest?" Is there room for development in the market of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Treasure Island? β
"There's a lot of room for development." Liu Wenhua said with a smile: "In terms of interconnection development, I think they are not as good as China. The level is equivalent to our pre-2008 ......"
"Oh?" Zhang Fan was curious, poured a glass of water and handed it to him and asked, "If you want to say that they developed the network before us." β
Liu Wenhua nodded and said, "Malaysia and Thailand are not mentioned." Singapore alone. β
"Singapore's network infrastructure is very good, but the development of the Internet is very monotonous, and the number of Internet users directly limits their Internet development. Their domestic mainstream portals are all controlled by foreign Internet companies such as Google, Yahoo, and Firefox. β
"If it weren't for social networks like Twitter and Facebook, they would still be in the forum era. Of course, before the emergence of our sparrow network, China also stayed in the 'forum era'. β
Zhang Fan smiled after hearing this and said, "So we can enter the Southeast Asian market." How is their instant messaging and mobile phone industry developing? β
Liu Wenhua said: "They rarely use instant messaging software, and the most used is Facebook. Singaporeans are reliant on social networks. β
"The local mobile phone industry is basically zero, and the stores sell foreign companies such as Nokia, Apple, Sony, and Samsung, and 80% of the flea market is a domestic copycat ......"
"In addition, when we were doing research in Singapore, we also found that someone was selling our S1 parallel ......"
"The price of each machine is nearly 4,800 yuan, and the sales volume is very good, and the owner says that 50 units can be sold every day, and the customers are mainly local Chinese."
Zhang Fan smiled: "So if we launch the English version of the system, it should increase the sales of parallel goods, right?" β
When the words fell, the two laughed in unison.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Zhang Fan looked at the time and said, "This investigation is very good. In the evening, I hold a barbecue pie at home, and everyone participates. Come along when you have time. The address is North Hill Villa No. 15. β
Liu Wenhua was stunned for a moment, pressed his heartbeat and nodded: "Okay boss." β
