Chapter Seventy-One: The Time of War

Of course, running a baseball club is not an easy task, and it requires a lot of money and status, which cannot be done overnight.

After Han Ziguang basically explained, he got on the plane to Xiangjiang, after all, what was waiting for Xiangjiang was a big battle, and it was also the first big showdown between Light and Shadow Entertainment Company and Golden Harvest Film Company. The feat of "Shop" is ahead.

After He Chaoqiong sent Han Ziguang away, he visited Anda Chong with Hatta Hideaki, and after obtaining his consent, especially with the introduction of Rumiko Takahashi, and the foundation of "Lucky Star Boy", Andachong was also a little moved, and the Elementary School Hall naturally would not let go of the opportunity to publicize.

After all, animation has always been complementary to comics, and once animation becomes popular, it will inevitably drive greater comic sales, and "Lucky Star Kid" is a representative, at this time, Shogakukan's "Weekly Shonen Sunday" has reached sales of 1.7 million copies.

In the past, there were still three competing for hegemony, or two competing for hegemony, and Shogakukan was completely thrown off by Kodansha and Shueisha, although it was said that Shogakukan and Shueisha were one, but they were also in competition with each other, and it was a bit embarrassing to be surpassed by a separate publishing house.

Now, the Light and Shadow Publishing House has sprung up, publishing comic magazines in less than a month, and the sales have reached 1.5 million copies, making the senior management of the Shogakukan even more urgent to increase the sales of their comics, and animation is also the fastest and most profitable way.

In the end, Kyoto Animation defeated the competition of Toho Co., Ltd. with higher sincerity, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is money, if Han Ziguang didn't know what kind of popularity "Baseball Heroes" would bring, and how much revenue it would bring to Kyoto Animation Studio, the price paid for this was worth it.

When Han Ziguang received the copyright of the "Baseball Hero" animation and peripherals, it was the third day after returning to Xiangjiang, and to be honest, he was excited for a long time, after all, one of his favorite anime in his previous life was "Baseball Hero" Now he holds the copyright in his own hands, so he naturally wants to do better.

How popular "Baseball Heroes" was back then, the first episode reached 31% of the ratings to explain the situation, basically every episode did not fall below 30% of the ratings, it can be said that it is definitely a money-absorbing weapon, enough to make Kyoto Animation famous all over the world.

Of course, Han Ziguang doesn't think that "Chess Soul" will be worse than "Baseball Heroes", after all, the ratings of Chess Soul have also reached 37% in the 21st century, which is definitely a super animation in the era of the Internet. Even if Han Ziguang changed the background of "Chess Soul", it didn't affect the view, in fact, many Japanese animations now have Chinese elements, among which "Dragon Ball" is extremely obvious.

"Boss! Is there anything so fun about it? Gao Zhisen was smiling all the time when he saw Han Ziguang answering the phone, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "We are now discussing how to fight with Golden Harvest's "Five Lucky Stars", why don't we release it in advance, or postpone the release!" ”

Gao Zhisen is indeed a little uncertain, to say that the two more famous actors in "Happy Ghost" are not only the starring Zhou Xingchi and the supporting role Han Ziguang, the most famous is only him as a director, and all of them are "Night. The reputation brought by "Shop" is much worse than the lineup of "Five Lucky Stars", after all, not to mention the three brothers Hong Jingbao, Yuan Biao, and Cheng Long, as well as Wu Yaohan, Qin Xianglin, Feng Qufan and other old drama bones, it can be said that the lineup alone will completely blow up the lineup of "Happy Ghost", after all, "Happy Ghost" is mainly new actors.

"Afraid of what? Brother Sen! Han Ziguang couldn't help but smile when he saw Gao Zhisen's decline before the battle: "This is not your character!" ”

"Boss! It's not that I don't have confidence, it's that the other party is too strong! Gao Zhisen smiled helplessly.

It's really not to blame our army for not working hard, but the enemy army has Gundam! Gao Zhisen seems that the investment in "Happy Ghost" is only more than one million, even if the publicity work is already very good, but it cannot compete with "The Five Lucky Stars", and if it is not good, it will become cannon fodder.

""Five Lucky Stars" is indeed a big production of Golden Harvest's special zuò, which is ready to be used to snipe at Xinyi City, but I didn't expect to be caught up by us." Han Ziguang glanced at the people present, and saw that the Light and Shadow Entertainment Company had gradually grown a lot, and couldn't help laughing: "But I don't think this is a bad thing, after all, now is the time to test our company, and it is rare to confront a big movie head-on, which also shows our company's determination!" ”

"That's a good point!" Gao Zhisen nodded, but still said with little confidence: "But after all, it's my script, I'm afraid it won't be accepted!" ”

In the summer file, there have always been more teenagers watching movies, and although "Happy Ghost" focuses on campus themes, after all, it is related to ghosts, whether it will be accepted, to be honest, it is impossible to know, no wonder Gao Zhisen is so unconfident.

Han Ziguang is different, he knows the achievements of "Happy Ghost", not to mention that the current "Happy Ghost" has not yet been released, and it has been very hot, I believe that even under the iron hooves of "Five Lucky Stars", he can gain a foothold.

In the previous life, "Happy Ghost" was not much publicity, and even Xinyicheng was not too optimistic about the premise, only relying on word-of-mouth fermentation, and won more than 17 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, but now Han Ziguang has done enough gimmicks, which is enough to make "Happy Ghost" a big hit in the early stage.

"I think what the boss said is good, and it's a big opportunity." Liu Guanwei, as a person who is more familiar with Hong Jingbao, also has the right to speak, after all, he also participated in the filming of "Five Lucky Stars", and said with a smile: "Although "Five Lucky Stars" is also a funny movie, it is actually an action movie dressed in the skin of a funny movie, and it does not have much conflict with our "Happy Ghost". ”

"I can prove it!" Lin Zhengying also nodded and said: "I also participated in "Five Lucky Stars", and the whole situation is the clearest, "Happy Ghost" is undoubtedly better than funny, not to mention the youth campus comedy combined with ghosts, it will definitely be very popular with modern students!" ”

Lin Zhengying and Liu Guanwei are both people who Han Ziguang poached from Jiahe and Hong Jingbao, and they also have more say in "The Five Lucky Stars".

Han Ziguang thinks that what Lin Zhengying and Liu Guanwei said is good, in fact, "Happy Ghost" and "Five Lucky Stars" belong to two different types of movies, plus the two movies are good, maybe they can drive the movie-watching boom, and then it will be a win-win situation.
