Chapter 166: Weighing the Pros and Cons

Speaking of anime, Ye Qingqing is always very excited, and she criticizes mercilessly, Sun Fuqing is so ashamed that he almost wants to find a crack in the ground to get into. Shangguan Jin couldn't help but greet her and signaled not to go too far.

Ye Qingqing shrugged her shoulders and said, "Uncle, what I said may be a little ugly, but these are all facts. And your level of production can only be said to be unsatisfactory, there are outstanding points, but there are many shortcomings. ”

"I, a layman, can see that the special effects in the first part of the third movie are quite good, but the further you get to the back, the worse it gets, and the gap is too big." Red Bean said and turned off the projector, and at the same time withdrew the disc.

"That's because there wasn't enough money, that's why it's like this. If it weren't for the members of our studio who paid for it themselves, the third installment would not have been completed. Sun Fuqing smiled bitterly.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "There is no need to talk about business matters for the time being. Uncle, what do you think, do you want our magazine to invest in you? To be honest, I admire your attitude, but I don't agree with works like spending money to make zuò. ”

They all paid out of their own pockets, no wonder Sun Fuqing said that they themselves had lost all their money. Their attitude is indeed admirable, and it is much more noble than Zhang Qiuxi, for the sake of dreams, for the development of domestic animation can not hesitate to do anything, Zhang Qiuxi can't do it.

But admiration is admiration, no matter how much money you have, you can't recognize it indiscriminately, "The Female Lu" has no highlights at all in the plot except for its good intentions, and I can't bear to look at it directly, Zhang Qiuxi will not jump into such a pit because of their feelings.

Because even if it is to realize the dream of Hope Studio, it will also promote domestic animation, this work is completely useless to help with these, and no matter how much money is spent to make zuò, it is also a failed work. Otherwise, I hope the studio will not fall to this point, and the first and second parts can make money.

"After all, we're only suitable for technology." Sun Fuqing shook his head and said, "If you can, I hope you can buy Hope Studio, and in the future, we will only control zuò, and we will follow your arrangements for what we do." ”

"It's really good for us to have an animation studio." Ye Qingqing said this to Zhang Qiuxi, and they all thought the same.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "Uncle, I can tell you very clearly that our magazine does need to make a lot of cartoons in the future, so we also have the intention of acquiring your studio now." But I'd like to ask again, are you sure you can do it at the level of Transformers? The level of these three female watches is not very good. ”

"Animated films are more demanding than TV animations, and we can barely do it, but it takes more money and time." Sun Fuqing has no confidence in what he said, and when he communicates with this kind of unsociable and business-like technical nerd, he doesn't have to worry about being fooled, they are telling the truth.

"Mr. Sun, please be specific." Shangguan Jin continued.

Sun Fuqing said: "To put it simply, we need more than 24 frames for what the Japanese company can accomplish in eight frames, and it takes more than three times the cost and more time to do it. ”

"Three?" Hongdou looked incredulous and said: "Our first part of Transformers has invested more than 30 million, and the copyright income from selling all over the world is only 20 million, and you will need 100 million to make one, where can we make this money back?" ”

Hongdou suddenly felt completely unreliable, although the toys of "Transformers" sold very well and have become a cash cow for magazines, but it can't increase unnecessary costs because of this, right?

"Mr. Sun, we also hope to be able to contribute to domestic animation, but at the same time, we are also businessmen, if this is the case, we can't cooperate." Shangguan Jin also shook his head.

"The two of you misunderstood." Sun Fuqing said: "You are calculating the cost of Japan, and the price in all aspects of China is only a fraction of that of Japan, even if the workload is several times cheaper than the price in Japan." ”

That's right, otherwise Japanese companies wouldn't have found companies from the Celestial Empire to do OEM, in order to save costs. After the more pitted stick company took over from the Japanese company, it will also change hands and contract to the company of the Celestial Empire, so you can see how cheap the domestic labor is.

"Domestic labor is cheaper, it's the same in any industry, and I've heard that the price of domestic animation is relatively deformed." Hongdou pondered for a moment and said: "All the technology is piled up with money, no matter how much more work it takes compared to Japan, if I give you 30 million to be able to make it, I think it's okay, but you say that you can barely do it, I have some doubts." ”

"Compared to Japan, we do have a lot of gaps." Sun Fuqing smiled awkwardly, and then was silent, everything that should be said was me, and he didn't know how to persuade Zhang Qiuxi to achieve his goal.

"Uncle, you are really only suitable for technology, your shortcomings are vividly displayed, but your advantages are not said at all, so you have to hang up no matter what business you talk about." Although Zhang Qiuxi was also an otaku in his previous life, he was also very clear about the twists and turns.

Sun Fuqing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you want to talk about our advantages, at least no one can compare with us in ink animation. ”

"Come on, Shangmeiying's ink animation technology has not improved in the slightest for many years, because no one in the Celestial Empire can make zuò ink animation technology to lead." Ye Qingqing couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Ink painting is purely Chinese-style, and foreigners can't do it, even if they want to, they can't do it, it's not just a matter of technology. Shangguan Jin said: "Since you are so confident in ink animation, why don't you make this type of female lug?" ”

"Because this thing can scare people to death when it burns money, it's good to be able to make half of it with the investment of three female lugs." Ye Qingqing answered, and Sun Fuqing nodded and said yes.

Shangguan Jin was speechless, this is completely a dragon-slaying technique, it looks quite bullish, but in fact, it is useless at all.

If anime wants to become bigger and stronger, it is essential to have its own style, and ink is indeed a very good choice, but it is too early to say this. For a person who has not yet learned to walk, it is too whimsical to think about whether to play basketball or soccer in the future.

"Uncle, negotiation must be able to impress people." Zhang Qiuxi rubbed his forehead, feeling that Sun Fuqing was hopeless in this regard, and said: "Transformers is a combat anime, you can get close to the level of Japan with more than three times the cost, if it is a daily animation, it should be a lot easier, for example, the machine qì cat serialized in our magazine." ”

"This is really not a problem, as long as the cost of making zuò is not on par with other animation companies in China, we can make zuò out." Sun Fuqing nodded.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "So you should start from this point at the beginning, our machine will be animated sooner or later, and if you can do it, we don't need to find a Japanese company, this is your advantage." ”

"Teacher Xiqiu, I've seen the machine qì cat, have you decided to animate?" Sun Fuqing became excited, and he didn't care about what Zhang Qiuxi said.

"I don't have any plans to do so for the time being, after all, there's not enough content, and you can't quite meet my requirements yet." The TV animation of "Machine Qì Cat" does not require much high technology, but the most profitable work of this work is the theatrical version, and I hope the studio is still almost hot.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Seeing that Sun Fuqing was a little disappointed again, Zhang Qiuxi felt that it was better not to hang him, so he looked at the red beans and said: "Let's vote, the people who think they should buy Hope Studio raise their hands." ”

Shangguan Jin, Hongdou and Ye Qingqing all raised their hands, Sun Fuqing's face suddenly turned red, his heart was beating faster, but he didn't dare to breathe, as if he was afraid of disturbing the voting results that were important to him.

"First of all, we have the need to produce zuò animation, and it is not a matter of looking for a Japanese company all the time, although I hope that the studio is not satisfactory, but it is also worth investing in, and it can be regarded as making some contribution to domestic animation." Red Bean gave his reasons, and the others thought similarly.

"The four of us agreed, so we don't need to ask Xiaoyue again, just tell us" Li Yue smiled and was not there, but Zhang Qiuxi's opinion has always been her opinion, and it is not a problem at all.

"So, Mr. Sun, how much do we need to spend to acquire your Hope Studio?" Hongdou sat directly opposite Sun Fuqing as a representative.

"Five million." Sun Fuqing didn't seem to have thought about the price at all before, but after a little thought, he quoted such a number, and he was afraid that the offer would be made, and then explained: "When the third part of the female 魅 was made, everyone in our studio participated in the investment, and now everyone's situation is not good, so ......"

"No problem, then five million." The red beans agreed in one bite, and the price was exactly the same as picking it up for nothing.

It's hard to measure how much an animation studio is worth, especially if you want the studio to have no assets and brand of its own, the only thing is to have the staff and the copyright of "Nu Lu", which is completely negligible.

Looking at it this way, five million seems to be high, but Sun Fuqing's team can definitely be said to be one of the top in China, and more importantly, the attitude towards work and animation is also moving, spending five million to find so many people is definitely a big profit.

With the acquisition of Hope Studio, Zhang Qiuxi can produce more animation works, and "Slam Dunk", which was already regrettably thrown aside, now seems to be able to pick it up.

However, the lack of technology is always a problem, so how can we improve the studio's skills? Zhang Qiuxi fell into deep thought. RS
