Chapter Seventy-Four: Cartoons
In the small screening room inside the wireless, a few people sat sporadically. There weren't many people, but the lineup was good. Shao Yifu won't talk about it, there is also Fang Yihua, now Ms. Fang not only holds great power in wireless, but she can also interfere in the production of Shaw Brothers, and she is above 10,000 people under one person. Wang Tianlin, now the focus of his work has been fully shifted to wireless, he is the gold medal system of wireless, and several other Li Xuechu do not know, and he is also a big man.
The importance of wireless made Li Xue's initial expectation that it was just a cartoon. But that's a good thing, isn't it? The two major TV stations in Xiangjiang are accustomed to producing and selling their own TV programs, and although they also buy foreign TV programs, they have basically been screened locally and have a good performance. Like the current cooperation with Oriental DreamWorks, this is probably one of the reasons why wireless attaches great importance to it, I don't know how it will be developed after success.
In the early 80s, Xiangjiang was basically a blank in the animation industry, not to mention compared with Japan, the United States and Europe, and compared with China. The comic industry is good, but the animation has not even opened the market, which can be regarded as the strange status quo of today's Xiangjiang. There's no way, animation is too expensive, and the investment in the animation industry is too big for a few people to start a comic industry, as long as the manuscript is paper, pen and ink.
However, although the investment is large, as long as it works well, the income can be much more considerable than that of comics. If there is no animation industry in a region, the comic industry will not be able to stabilize no matter how strong it is. In addition to the narrow subject matter, the lack of animation industry is also a major reason for the decline of Xiangjiang Comics in later generations.
Like later generations, it is basically every manga artist's dream that comic works can be made into animation, which not only increases popularity, but also means that income doubles.
There was a period of time in China when the animation industry was also full of talents, and many excellent works came out. The most famous may be the Havoc in Heaven produced in 64 years (the upper and lower episodes, the last episode was produced in 61 years), which has won many awards internationally, and the domestic and foreign market tables are also quite good. It's a pity that this movie was sold to the French at a low price by a producer who doesn't understand the market situation, so he got three melons and two dates and was complacent.
The Modu Art Film Studio, which made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, is probably making Avanti now, right? After a few years, he was the gourd brothers, and then he was the black cat sheriff...... Speaking of which, this animation company has a lot of works, and if it weren't for the state-owned factory, it would have become an animation giant like Disney. Although it's all for children.
This is also the view of many Chinese people on cartoons now and in later generations, isn't it just used to coax children?
China has always despised animation, and it was not until Hollywood animation made a strong 6 appearance that the huge business opportunities in this industry began to be supported. However, until later generations, the domestic animation industry was still very hard, the resources of TV stations were strongly monopolized by central enterprises and various localities, and the only big movies with hope of breaking through were basically controlled by several major Hollywood animation companies.
Maybe it's time to consider cooperating with the Magic Capital Animation Factory, the animation resources of this factory alone are more than the entire Xiangjiang City now. But cooperation with state-owned enterprises has always been a headache.,Let's talk about this after contact.,There are so many animation resources in my head.,It's a pity not to do it.γ
Five episodes of the cartoon take about 100 minutes, the length of a movie.
After watching the animation, several wireless people lowered their heads and communicated.
"Yihua, what do you think?" Shao Yifu asked about his woman first.
Fang Yihua was a little embarrassed: "I don't know much about cartoons, and I don't know if they can be popular." But the picture is quite exquisite. β
Li Xuechu smiled secretly, he can invest a lot of money in animation production, limited by the lack of local professionals, he has recruited a lot of professionals abroad, coupled with equipment investment, the animation division has become the department with the largest investment in Oriental DreamWorks.
This picture effect can only be described as scum in the eyes of Li Xuechu from later generations, but in the 80s, it is indeed a work of conscience, the key is not to care about the investment, in the immature computer technology today, the size of the investment directly determines the excellent process of production, and the technical gap has not widened to the point of despair.
"Hehe, maybe we should get some kids to try it out. Whether cartoons are good or not is still the most powerful for children, we are all laymen. An old man in his fifties and sixties laughed.
That's a good point, it seems that Disney has a similar mechanism.
Seeing Li Xuechu look at it, Shao Yifu introduced: "This is Qiu Degen and Qiu Lao, and he is a shareholder of our wireless. β
"Hello Old Qiu, speaking of which, we are still walking together." Qiu Degen and Li Xuechu also knew him, and he also knew that he was going to join Li's job with Wireless this year, but he didn't expect that he was still a shareholder of Wireless, and he didn't know if Shao Yifu knew about it. and Ye Zhiming's Bangbang Film Company was sold to him.
"yes, I can't think of it. Speaking of which, we should have known each other a long time ago, and I am very familiar with Lin Lao. Qiu Degen smiled.
"Hehe, I usually don't move around much. Speaking of which, it is long overdue to visit Mr. Qiu, and it is enough for the kid to learn a few tricks from Mr. Qiu's experience in bank management. "The mall has been mixed for a long time, and the hypocrisy and politeness come as soon as they open their mouths.
"You're welcome, it's still you young people who are amazing, we old men should all retire."
Fang Yihua frowned slightly, and felt uncomfortable with this posterior who was less than twenty years old and slippery in saying these shopping mall clichΓ©s. Speaking of which, so many artists who have just debuted under his command are older than him, and he doesn't dare to take a breath in front of him. This kid didn't take the initiative to say hello to himself before, and now he is still gossiping with a shareholder.
However, people are not their subordinates, but they are the places where the Shaw Brothers will have to rely on him in the future. Fang Yihua didn't put his dislike on face.
Fang Yihua diverted the topic: "Tianlin, what do you think of this film, can it have ratings?" β
Wang Tianlin and Li Xuechu knew each other well and had the heart to say a few good words for him. But Fang Yihua's power in wireless is getting stronger and stronger, and Wang Tianlin is also afraid that if no one watches the cartoon, Fang Yihua will be angry with himself.
"I'll watch it like this, broadcast until half past six, one episode a day, and stagger the time of other programs. Yihua, you are responsible for this. Shao Yifu waved his hand and settled down. By the way, Hatsuzai, are you done with your animation? β
Shao Yifu doesn't really pay attention to this animation, his eyes are still on the movie. Agreeing to cooperate with the cartoon is just a favor. This kid has a lot of hands in movies, and his film company has been losing money year after year, so he may be able to save some of the situation in cooperation with him. This is Shao Yifu's abacus.
"Our company plans to do 20 episodes first, and now there are still 6 episodes left to catch up. Just postpone the broadcast of the cartoon by 10 days, and we will try to release an episode in five days. Li Xuechu said. The five-day episode is actually quite rushed, but it can be completed by working overtime.
Shao Yifu pondered for a moment and said: "Then let's postpone it to two weeks later, and it won't be broadcast on Sunday, so that there will be an extra week, and your time will not be so rushed." β
"It's fine." Li Xuechu thought about it and agreed, the first work is still finer.
The Transformers cartoon was thus settled in a few words. Fang Yihua felt very uncomfortable that she couldn't interject in such a thing, but she didn't come out in front of Shao Yifu.
"Look at the ratings, if it's not good, it won't be so easy to talk about in the future." Thinking to herself, Fang Yihua pressed down the grievances in her heart. Shao Yifu is usually not responsible for specific affairs, and Fang Yihua has the final say. It's really rare for a lady to have something like this that is completely impossible to intervene in today.
"Well, that's it. Do you want to visit our wireless? Shao Yifu asked.
"Well, I'm really interested." This is not polite, Li Xuechu is really interested in wireless, if he didn't know that Shao Yifu would not let go, it would be good to buy wireless.
"Hehe, Tianlin, you accompany Chu Tsai to visit, I know you are familiar." Shao Yifu said with a smile: "I still have something to discuss with Qiu Lao, so I won't accompany you." β
"Okay, then we won't bother you." Li Xuechu said goodbye and left the screening room with Wang Tianlin and a few others.
What will they discuss? It should be that Qiu Degen is going to leave wireless and start a new business. Since they are friends, Qiu Degen should not hide this matter from Uncle Shao Liu, Xiangjiang is a small place, you can't see anyone who looks up and looks down, and if you want to make small moves, it will be embarrassing to meet in the future.
"Chuzai, where do you want to go?" Wang Tianlin asked with a smile: "Why don't you go and see the studio in Clear Water Bay?" β
"I've been to that place before." When filming with Wang Jin, Qingshuiwan went to the capital several times. For the big studios that today's Xiangjiang people think, Li Xuechu, who has played in several major film and television bases in China in later generations, is not interested.
"Let's go see the artist training class, shall we? I'm interested in artist training. β
"Oh, Chuzai, you want to get one too?" Wang Tianlin turned his head and asked.
"No, our company doesn't even have a few signed artists, just to see the excitement."
"In this way, I'm afraid this will disappoint you, there is nothing fun to watch in the artist training class."
This Li Xuechu can also guess that in the final analysis, it is just a training class, and how much fun can be seen. However, Li Xuechu mainly looked at people in the past, it seems that there are many masters in the 82 class, Liang Wei, Zhou Xingxing, Wu Zhenyu, Ouyang Zhenhua......
It seems that Liang Wei and Zhou Xingxing are still good friends, and he is still pulled into the film and television industry by Zhou Xingxing. Later, Liang Wei became popular, but Zhou Xingxing, who wanted to get ahead in the film and television industry, lived a tricky life for several years, and he was very unsatisfactory. But in the 90s, Zhou Xinghuo rose and left an indelible mark on the Xiangjiang film and television circle.
"Let's go, Uncle Tianlin."
"Okay, you can see it if you want."
