Chapter 473 Sitting on the ground and starting the price
Putting "Warlock's Sky" aside for the time being and not mentioning it is indeed deliberate, because this is another lifetime series, if you want to take advantage of this time to do other works, then you can only throw it first, otherwise it may become a situation with "Machine Qì Cat", and they are not happy to suspend the audience.
In terms of length, "Warlock's Sky" should indeed be animated, and it takes a long time for the animation to catch up with the progress of the comics. The popularity of the manga is not a problem at all, and there is no need to test it at all, and countless fans have been looking forward to it, if the Japanese animation company has been eager to invest in the production of Zuò.
"If you want to insist on doing ink animation, the theatrical version of the Oriental series is not a good choice, and the only choice is the Warlock's Sky." Hongdou patted Ye Qingqing's shoulder and said, "Little sister, don't get excited, you will get your wish." ”
"It's as if I really have no other choice but to choose, and this kind of charity feels really infuriating." Ye Qingqing put on an even more depressed expression, looking dejected.
"You should be satisfied if you are chosen, don't dwell on it too much, ......" Hongdou touched Ye Qingqing's head this time.
Seeing the two of them amused for a while, Zhang Qiu regretted that he said: "Don't make trouble, since you have decided to come down, then notify the animation company, as for doing other works, there is no one to do it anyway." ”
"You look very reluctant." Hongdou and Ye Qingqing both stared at her directly, and she spread her hands and said, "This is really nothing, in fact, even if you really want to open a new work." I also had to scratch my head and think about what to do with a story, and now it saves me a headache. ”
"Cut. True or false. The words were spoken by Shangguan Jin, but the others also had similar expressions. When Zhang Qiuxi told the truth, no one believed it. In fact, she really has a headache, and she has always felt that proposition composition is easier, and when there is no specific idea, it is really tangled in which work to copy.
Zi Cai Xinna seemed to agree with it, and said: "Sister, my lord, in fact, it can't be said that there is not enough manpower, and now the animation company is doing everything by himself, and the workload is for sure, so we can outsource the unimportant parts." That is, to save manpower and cost. ”
"Manpower is also part of the cost." Yang Jie followed and said: "It's just that you guys have even outsourced magazine-related work, but I didn't expect this to be really speechless, I now know that many domestic animation companies live by working for Japanese OEMs, and even many of them are OEM from those second-tier dealers of sticks." ”
Zhang Qiuxi knew this situation, and mentioned it more than once, but no one thought of doing this, and it seemed a little unreasonable. Hongdou said in hindsight: "It's really alas, after outsourcing all the tedious work, even with our current manpower, we can still make three and five at the same time, right?" ”
Ye Qingqing "pia" slapped her hand. "We save time and effort, and at the same time, we can give more animation practitioners the opportunity to support a company and increase jobs, which can be regarded as contributing to society." Count it all in one fell swoop. ”
Zhang Qiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Why is it obviously a cheating and tricky thing, but after it comes out of your mouth, it has become so noble?" How much do you want to reshape my three views? ”
"Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. This is all learned from you, what are you pretending to be innocent and spitting out? Shangguan Jin said: "It's a bit too much to say that it is slippery. That's what the market is, but it's just about contributing. This seems to be too insignificant, but I thought that our contribution was enough, for example, to strengthen the animation industry, but now it seems that it is not enough. ”
"It seems that it is not enough, but very little." Zhang Qiuxi couldn't help frowning.
The so-called expansion of the animation market is nothing more than to make the current market more mature. A mature market should have more powerful production companies, more excellent works, and it is best to develop benignly, but looking at it now, the animation market of the Celestial Empire is still deformed, and it seems to be stricter.
Their market is getting bigger and bigger, and each of them has countless fans, and they are doing very well from the work itself to the extended copyright, surpassing the Japanese level. But while they are flying in the sky, their peers are still struggling in the quagmire, and the works produced are still so inferior that they can't bear to look at them directly.
"With great ability comes great responsibility, and as a leader in the industry, this issue seems to be seriously considered." Hongdou is very responsible, and said with the mind of helping the world: "If we are alone, the current situation seems to be forever unchangeable." ”
Their success cannot be replicated, and no matter how envious others are, they can't follow up, so no matter how popular they are, they won't contribute much to the industry. It seems that it should be said that the arrival of Zhang Qiuxi, a traverser, brought the result of leapfrog development, just like a traverser who traveled to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and even the Qin Dynasty with rice paper, the sales must be very good, but others can't even make butt paper.
Zhang Qiuxi realized this problem, but Yang Jie frowned and said: "Since domestic companies can meet Japanese standards and do OEM for Japan, it means that the technology is not bad, and there should be the ability to make independent products, right?" ”
"That's not necessarily, generally the work outsourced by our country will only be some low-tech parts such as background, and the core part will never do this, unless there is no requirement for quality at all." Shina shook her head.
Ye Qingqing followed and said: "There is nothing wrong with this, but there is no shortage of powerful companies and technicians, just like the previous Hope Studio, as long as enough financial support is given, the things made are actually not too bad." ”
Sun Fuqing's previous production of Zuò's "Charm Lu" quality is above the passing line, mainly lost in the story, although their old club has been completely reduced to a foundry, it also has a certain technical background, even if it is not comparable to the highest level in Japan, it is not to the point where it is impossible to watch.
"In addition to us, there are some popular works, but they are all broadcast on the Internet, and the quality is very rough. On the contrary, some non-commercial personal works are very good, what is the reason for this? ”
"What else can be the reason, it comes down to the market." Zhang Qiu said helplessly: "Take ink animation as an example, even if other companies have the same technology, we can withstand it, and we can make a meager profit with all our efforts, how many investors are willing to do it even if they lose money?" ”
Before Shangmei Film was completely degraded, it also produced several works of good quality, and these works did not lose money. But it's not enough not to lose money, investors won't be interested if they don't have money to make money, so Shangmeiying is in a slump, if Shangmeiying can meet investors like Zhang Qiuxi and them, it is not impossible to revive their strength.
"Aside from us, most companies are still taking a price of 1,000 yuan per minute, and those web animations are probably not much better, or they wouldn't be so rough all the time, and each episode is only six or seven minutes long." Ye Qingqing said: "Even if it is us, the price given by the TV station is far lower than the actual value of the company. ”
"So all we have to do now is raise the price?" Shangguan Jin looked around at everyone and said: "We have the ability not to compromise with the deformed market, we can crush these rules, but whether it is useful to do this, don't become special again." ”
The price that is willing to give them is not necessarily willing to be given to other companies, and the possibility of becoming a special is still very large, Ye Qingqing said: "Regardless of whether it is special or not, at least we should get a reward equal to the value of the zào created, even if it is a special case, we should release a signal to the outside world, and if we continue like this, we are actually pitting the entire market." ”
Zhang Qiuxi scratched his head and said: "I haven't seriously considered this issue before, Qingqing really makes sense, it's time to make a change." ”
The price of TV stations to buy cartoons is unusually low, Zhang Qiu regrets that they have so many excellent works and are silent, so how can other companies have the confidence to fight, others say "People look up to the works of animation are only that price, how much do you want" to push back, they stick to the rules but promote the evil trend.
"Well, that's really not our case." Hongdou also reviewed it deeply, and then said, "Then how should we price it?" It seems that a video site introduces a Japanese work for only a few million, and the average episode is only three or four hundred thousand, which is not high, and this is still the price of those very popular works. ”
"This nature is different, Japanese works are invested in the domestic to earn back, licensing is considered extra money, I don't care if I make a little less money. For them, they are not in a hurry to make a lot of money in the country now, opening the market is the most important thing, at the beginning, they were not willing to stick to the money, what is this for? ”
Zhang Qiuxi asked rhetorically, and then said: "So this is not comparable, let's ask for the price according to our own situation." It's just that this seems to cause some vibrations, and it's hard to say whether Xiaoyue's mother can withstand it. ”
"Anyway, this kind of thing can only be handled by you, you can do it yourself, anyway, our determination is already here." Hongdou shrugged his shoulders and threw the matter directly to Zhang Qiuxi, it is really difficult to do when interests involve human feelings.
Fortunately, although Han Xue is the director, this is a public office, so there is no need to worry too much, in fact, it would be better if Yunxiang Satellite TV was a private TV station, how to price this relationship in one sentence, Han Xue would not let them suffer at all.
