Chapter 407: Studios and Companies
"The Jade Emperor has an edict, the Divine Inkstone Quartet, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, thunderstorm wind power, Divine Inkstone light grinding, thunderbolt lightning. Haste as a law. ”
"The sky is round and the place is round, the nine chapters of the law, I write today, and the ghosts are hidden. Haste as a law. ”
The witch has become as cute as a beautiful girl and a child.,Although the expression is a little stiff.,But the character design is still good.。 Moreover, special effects such as Taoism are extremely dazzling under the rendering of ink, so eye-catching that many viewers can't even notice the flaws in this regard, which is one of the reasons why the quality is generally good.
Modern buildings are almost all Western-style buildings, and it is difficult to fit with the ink style mainly for conceptual reasons, and the blue brick tile house feels more suitable, and it will look like it will feel integrated and will not look abrupt. This story mainly takes place in the fictional place of Gensokyo, although the era background is modern, but Zhang Qiuxi's script does not depict the city much, but it is not too entangled in this problem.
There has been a long window period until the launch of "Oriental Fantasy Township", although the TV version of "Machine Qì Cat" has not been interrupted during this period, but the audience's expectations have not decreased, until the first episode hits the screen, and the audience is full of excitement and completely detonates public opinion.
Ink animation reproduction, this meaning is not just as simple as hoping that the studio will start a new broadcast. Even if this work is not recognized by the audience, it will still cause a storm of public opinion, after all, ink animation is of great significance to the Celestial Empire, and it is especially true that it can be reproduced.
Most viewers don't really care if it's ink style or not. They just need a great story, and Zhang Qiuxi won't let them down. Those who pay attention to the form of ink animation itself are experts who may not even watch animation in ordinary times. There are also various industry insiders.
Of course, this kind of attention is not criticism, but praise, and many people are worried about Zhang Qiuxi. Ink animation has not been able to develop, but the director of Zhì Shangmei Film still can't avoid such a tragic scene because of the strict separation of artistic value and commercial value.
As long as Zhang Qiuxi is involved in the field, they have achieved great commercial success, and judging from the ratings and audience feedback, "Oriental Fantasy Township" has undoubtedly succeeded. If it's an ordinary animation, it will undoubtedly make a lot of money, but for a hugely expensive ink animation. Whether this success will pay for itself is a question.
As soon as the first ink animation came out, some people were better and some people were worried about whether they could stick to it. It is precisely because of the comments of these experts and industry insiders that ordinary viewers understand that it is not easy to come to an ink animation of just over 20 minutes, and they are intoxicated by every scene and object in the play. When every special effect feels shocking, behind it is the painstaking efforts of each member of the production zuò.
"We haven't done much yet, and the outside world has been worried about us, but what is the use of this worry, and it is impossible for us to make more money." Zhang Qiuxi shrugged his shoulders, the outside world speculated that they should have planned for this, in fact, they only brought up this issue by Hongdou now.
"The way to make money for an animation is nothing more than sponsorship, merchandise, DVD, copyright, etc., which we have been doing before. It's not really good to talk about it, unless we can innovate in this area. How kind of profit channel is pretty much the same. Ye Qingqing sighed, it is more difficult to innovate profit methods than innovative works, if there is a better channel, the company in Japan would have tried it a long time ago.
Even now. Japan's anime market still far surpasses that of Celestial Empire, and their profit model is still the same, so it's impossible to increase revenue through this. Zhang Qiuxi said: "Anyway, I have decided to burn money, so I can make as much money as I can, it doesn't matter." ”
"You're free-spirited, don't you really treat money as money?" Azuki rolled her eyes. Zhang Qiuxi pursed his lips and said, "Otherwise, what else can I do, you can find a way to generate income?" ”
"Okay. Anyway, it's like this, it's really better to pretend to be a little more free. Hongdou pounded his head and said, "Then the profitable thing is like this." Shangguan, you let those manufacturers all serve dim sum, it's best to raise the price a little bit whether it is peripheral licensing or copyright fees, we are now a golden signboard, this is not too much, right? ”
For partners, Zhang Qiuxi has always been very generous, whether it is the surrounding manufacturers or other partners, the profit margin is very large. Everyone's good is really good, which is the main reason why the cooperative relationship has always been very close and manufacturers are willing to cooperate with them.
Shangguan Jin nodded and said: "Our influence has long been incomparable, but the price has not been adjusted in all aspects, and now that the cost has increased, it is natural to adjust it and squeeze a little bit of the profit margin of the partner, I will grasp the scale, they should not resist." ”
"If they don't agree, we can change the partner." Yang Jie said very decisively: "When we signed the contract, it is completely two situations now, as our influence is stronger, their profit margin has actually increased a lot, but we have been squeezed, if we don't agree with it, it is an inch, we are good to talk does not mean that we are easy to bully." ”
"No one ever thinks we're bullies, don't worry." Shangguan Jin is in charge of external relations, and she is also the one who can best grasp the mentality of the partner, so she said that it is not a problem at all.
"I'll leave it to you." Hongdou continued: "Then the next question, about the expansion of the studio, before consulting Sun Fuqing's ideas, I think you first need to express yourself, what do you think?" ”
At this time, Li Yue spoke: "The technical level should not be able to improve efficiency with more people, but I also think that they should be expanded to share a little pressure, and the significance of cultivating new forces is also very important, so I agree." ”
Ye Qingqing said: "It's really a bit short of manpower now, after all, we still have a machine." If it weren't for the fact that Dongfang Fantasy Township was too busy, Sun Fuqing would have mentioned the expansion to us a long time ago. ”
Zhang Qiuxi said: "You and Yang Jie participated in the first episode of the system, you know this best, since this is the case, there is no need to discuss, after going to the magic capital, tell Sun Fuqing and let her be fully responsible." ”
"He's a director, can he be busy?"
"There's no way to be busy, we're not in the magic capital, and we don't know anything about animation production, we can't tell the difference between talent and mediocrity standing in front of us, and we can't help if we want to." Zhang Qiu regretted that recruiting talents is not a simple matter, not to mention that they are all laymen.
Shangguan Jin said: "With the current influence of the studio, it should be attractive enough for people majoring in animation, which should not be too difficult." ”
The factor that attracts talents to join a company is nothing more than treatment and strength, and I hope that the studio is not only the first in the Celestial Empire but also well-known in the world, and the influence is needless to say. In terms of treatment, it is a leader, and it is definitely the most ideal place to work for domestic animation majors, so you don't have to worry about not being able to recruit people.
Regarding the expansion of recruitment, the main problem is that on the whole, the domestic animation technology is still inferior, and the talent recruitment is not enough and immediately reused, and it needs to be cultivated for a period of time. Ye Qingqing said: "In fact, every company in this aspect is almost the same, we just highlight one point, how can there be so many plug-and-play talents." ”
"If the number of studios is expanded, it will reach a certain scale, and it seems inappropriate to continue to operate in the form of studios, should we register a company?"
"What's the difference?" Zhang Qiuxi didn't know anything about it, so he didn't know if it was necessary.
Shangguan Jin said: "From a legal point of view, the studio belongs to the interest of self-employed people and does not have legal personality. In terms of property liability, the studio is wireless liability, and the company is limited liability, which means ......"
"Stop." Seeing that Shangguan Jin was getting more and more energetic, Zhang Qiuxi hurriedly shouted and said, "If you continue, I will ask you what legal personality is, what is limited liability and wireless liability." ”
"Legal personality is the ...... that has the capacity for civil rights and civil conduct"
"Stop." Shangguan Jin continued to popularize science, Zhang Qiuxi shouted again and then held his forehead and said: "You can understand these things, and they are not the focus of the discussion now, you just need to say whether there is a need to establish a company." Yes, then let Sun Fuqing register, if not, there is no need, blame the trouble. ”
Shangguan Jin nodded again and said, "Of course there is, let's not talk about it at length, at least it will be more standardized after registering the company." ”
This time, Shangguan Jin said it very succinctly, and he didn't even say the main point, but it was enough. Zhang Qiuxi slapped the table and said, "Okay, since it's so good, let's do it like this, just write Sun Fuqing's name." ”
"It's called a legal representative." Shangguan Jin really couldn't stand it, so he couldn't help but remind him.
Yang Jie interjected: "You bosses have arranged it casually, what about the name?" Since the company is registered, is the name changed? ”
"Since you let Sun Fuqing be the representative of the lawyer, let him decide to go by himself if he doesn't change his name or not." Zhang Qiuxi said: "This is not too troublesome to shirk, the studio itself is their hard work, and now it has become ours, and the naming right should still be handed over to them, so as to be worthy of their hard work and feelings." ”
"It's rare that you actually said a human word." Hongdou nodded approvingly, the reason why they decided to let Sun Fuqing represent the law was also based on this reason. And it's really more convenient, after all, if it weren't for special circumstances, they wouldn't necessarily go to the magic capital every year. (To be continued) R655
