Chapter 137: It's not time to return home

Shen Zhenghui said that he wanted to go back to Big 6, but it was not a temporary idea. When "World Air Battle Story" began to sweep various animation lists, Shen Zhenghui felt a certain sense of worry in his heart, not only because of the death of Keizo Obuchi, who replaced him with a hardcore ** force, but also because he felt that it seemed very difficult to find an all-age animation that could be released in China, and at the same time, because of the success achieved in the big 6, it also made the competitors pay more attention, and these competitors are not small.

Wang Anran had contacted Shen Zhenghui before, and just after he learned the news of the death of Premier Keizo Obuchi, this well-informed Yanai had already discovered through various channels that Japan's policy toward China and China's policy toward Japan would face heavy adjustments and changes. In other words, Mitsumi Fukuda and Shen Zhenghui's original plan to cheat money on both sides is already facing the dilemma of not working. Wang Anran specifically explained that Gonzo's next film will never be introduced into China again, no matter how well it is filmed, and how worthy it is to be used as a teaching film within the Air Force.

Shen Zhenghui obviously understood that this was some kind of backlash from other forces within the body, and now was not the time to be reasonable. No matter how big the old man of the Wang family is, after all, he is also retired, and now there is no Central Advisory Committee.

Therefore, Shen Zhenghui is facing very practical problems when he returns to the big 6, where is the road for the company to continue to survive, grow and expand? It's obviously not okay to be tied to Japan's boat, and a group of people in the film and television industry in Hong Kong are also hot when they see the hot cartoons, which may be a rare opportunity for Shen Zhenghui. Sometimes it's not just eating all the food by yourself that you take advantage of it, but letting others have food is one of the ways to earn the most money.

In order to hurry up, he almost ended his affairs in Hong Kong in a hurry and rushed back to the big 6. First went to Pengcheng to re-inspect the situation of "Jinhong Comics", at present, Xinghui Animation has published a new magazine, aiming at the young children's market, hanging under the banner of "Jinhong Comics", with Xiyangyang and Big Big Wolf as the main hit, the effect is actually not bad, if it weren't for the piracy is too powerful. It's almost the whole country.

"Jinhong Comics" in recent times. Focusing on entering the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, the stylization of works is very different, and the editorial department hopes to encourage as many local comic styles as possible, and for a while, comics with different styles of works are published in "Jinhong Comics". This had a slight impact on sales. In addition, pirates began to target Jinhong Comics. At the same time, some animation magazines joined the competition, and the exhibition of "Jinhong Comics" in China was somewhat weak, and the development of the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets was not all smooth sailing. All of a sudden, there was a sense of impatience in the whole magazine.

After all, Li Hong is too young as a manager, and Ah Heng is sometimes too idealistic as an art director, and his wrist skills are not enough, but fortunately, the company's frame can still hold up.

Shen Zhenghui flipped through the recent magazines, in general, Ah Heng's taste was too much Hong Kong comics, and the overall style of the magazine was not very liked by Chinese who were influenced by Japanese comics, and Shen Zhenghui quickly decided that it was imperative to split the magazine into different types of publications according to the style.

But Ah Heng is an obstacle.

This is the veteran of the magazine, since the establishment of Jinhong in the nineties, he has been staying in the magazine, experienced the early difficulties and the mid-term hurricane, and now the vision and ability of the magazine business do not match. But his own possessiveness for the magazine was too strong, and Shen Zhenghui almost regretted that he didn't arrange Ah Heng's work properly.

"I have limited time, so I will first mention a preliminary proposal for you to discuss, the magazine should be divided into two categories according to the style, juvenile comics and shoujo comics, and should no longer be mixed up and unified, and should be split into two independent editorial departments, with Li Hong in charge of the general responsibility and the legal person of the magazine. However, the editors-in-chief of the two editorial departments had to be selected separately, and Li Hong and Ah Heng were not concurrently serving. ”

Before Li Hong could react, Ah Heng glared suddenly, "Then what should I do?" Do you want to have a general art director? ”

"There's no need, the art director can be the editor-in-chief and editor of each department, and you have another appointment."

"What appointment?" Ah Heng asked rhetorically, "Are you going to let me leave the magazine?" ”

"Your stake is still there, don't get excited."

"I'm not leaving!" Ah Heng stood up, looking like he would turn around and leave as soon as he didn't agree with him, "The magazine has been exhibited until now, although your financial support is indispensable, but we are doing everything, and now that the exhibition is a little slower, you will kick me away." ”

Shen Zhenghui helped his forehead with a little headache.

"Ah Heng, you sit down first." Li Hong persuaded.

"I don't sit down!" Ah Heng straightened his back, "Tell me, what is the other appointment?" ”

Shen Zhenghui covered his face, whether it was the people of Xinghui Animation or Jinhong Magazine who were present at the meeting, they stretched their necks to watch the play without heart or lungs, and those employees who had feelings for the company seemed to be hanging in the air, waiting for Shen Zhenghui's final fall.

"I was in Hong Kong the other day," Shen Zhenghui said, "and 'World Air Battle Story' has done very well at the box office around the world, and you may know the news." Shen Zhenghui glanced at the entire venue, some of the people who were swept by his gaze lowered their heads, and some looked away and whispered to the people around them, "Preliminary estimates, the current box office has exceeded 1.5 billion yuan, and the box office continues to grow violently, I don't know if you have seen the version released in China, even if it is the version released in China, the box office revenue should have exceeded 30 million." Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips.

Ah Heng, who was standing, felt a little embarrassed.

"The movie I made in Hong Kong was finished, and a few big bosses in the Hong Kong film industry came to the door, oh, the dragon five you are familiar with was also there at the time, and they asked me about it, since the animation market is so good, the animated film department made by Gonzo is a big hit, and there is no future for Hong Kong to make animated films."

"At that time, I said that it is difficult to say, after all, this thing also depends on the market and investment. But the bosses were encouraged by the box office success of "World Combat Story," which grossed more than $50 million in North America. Converted to RMB, it is 400 million! Shen Zhenghui slapped the table hard, and the sound of everyone inhaling cool air sounded in the whole venue at the right time.

"Many people present may know that we have selected a lot of people from Xinghui Company to study in Japan, and the object of our cooperative learning is Gonzo, in fact, Gonzo has participated in the production of these animated films, "Puhai Fortress" is hung with the name of our Hangzhou company, although some of the things are Japanese teachers, but most of the things are done by ourselves, and now Liu Xin Liu is still in Japan and continues to lead our team in Japan. We did the new two quarters of Tokyo TV. Everyone has also seen how "Full Metal Mania" is doing? ”

The scene was silent.

"So you have to be a little bit more open-minded. Don't think that no one will catch up with us after making some achievements in the past, we have a lot of competitors, and what is even more sad is that people don't treat us as competitors. Gonzo is open to teaching us people in the past, and they are happy that the Chinese have shared their heavy lifting in the past. Let them have the energy to devote themselves to more important work. "World Air Battle Story" has a box office of one billion yuan in Japan. The U.S. version is still being shown in Japan, and the box office is set to rise. How big is the gap between the movie and the TV version? You'll be able to see it once you've seen it. The team led by Mr. Liu does TV animation in Japan, which is a lot of face. There are many achievements, but what is it compared to other people's movies? ”

"So everyone should improve, don't stay where you are, you have to have higher pursuits." Shen Zhenghui paused, "So I don't think it's enough for the animation department to go out and study," he glanced at Ah Heng, "I hope our comic department will also go out to study, and I have high expectations for Director Ah Heng......"

Ah Heng was stunned for a moment.

"People in the film industry in Hong Kong told me about the production of cartoons, but they couldn't do a lot of things, and they didn't have much accumulation in this area, so many bosses asked me if our animation company could cooperate with them, and they wanted to produce some cartoons with Hong Kong characteristics, or ideas from Hong Kong." He looked at Ah Heng, "This is a bit stressful for us," he snorted, "So I hope that our animation department and the comics department can get to know each other, and the animation we will do in the future will be drawn by our local cartoonists themselves, and Japan, which is currently the best in the animation and comics industry, what is the cycle pattern of their themes, I hope you can go out and have a look." ”

He looked at Li Hong, "After this Sister Hong handed over the work, Sister Hong led the team, and of course, Ah Heng also followed." We are familiar with the theme of Hong Kong comics, and when the time comes, we will not be in a hurry to undertake their production requirements, so it is necessary to sharpen our knives and not cut wood at the construction site to understand the whole situation, and this is what I want to say. ”

The scene resounded with fierce applause.

Ah Heng sat down slowly, and Shen Zhenghui glanced at him, "If we really want to do a good job in Hong Kong's animation theme, we have to form a new team, and I hope that someone will stand out after the inspection, that's it." ”

So almost everyone understood that this position, which was originally given to Ah Heng, was suddenly suspended.

After the meeting ended, Li Hong hurriedly chased Shen Zhenghui to his office.

"What you say is true?" As soon as he walked into the office, Li Hong asked a little impatiently.

"What gives you the impression that I'm lying?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically, "I promoted the plan of "World Air Battle Story", and I also led the investment, the box office is public, and you have also seen the box office of more than one billion yuan, and then, I will tell a big lie to deceive you for the assets of our magazine of less than 10 million?" ”

Li Hong was a little surprised, "I'm a little too concerned, I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, if you want to say that there is something false in this, I don't have anything here, if you want to worry, it is better to worry about whether those Hong Kong people can support making enough animated movies!" Shen Zhenghui snorted, "With the narrow market in Hong Kong, if they don't see the big 6 people who shoot something, they will wait to die!" So burning money to make animations also has the potential to burn them to death. ”

"This, what then?" Li Hong asked worriedly.

"What does it have to do with us?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically, "Hong Kong people are dead." Isn't it just the time for us to dominate this market? What's more, wasn't the cartoon market of the Big 6 originally ours? ”

Li Hong's mouth opened wide.

"How is the production of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Happy Year of the Snake"?" Shen Zhenghui asked.

"Well, I don't know too much, but I heard that because Yan Kai went to Taiwan, the progress is a little slow, but it's certain that it will be done a good year ago."

"Oh, he went to Taiwan, I forgot to see him last time I went to Taiwan." Shen Zhenghui scratched his head, he stared at Li Hong, "You also have to care about the animation department, anyway, I have never seen you submit an application for comics to be adapted into animation!" ”

"Can I apply?" Li Hong asked in surprise.

Shen Zhenghui nodded. "Be cautious when choosing your subject matter. Don't use minefields, we should also consider local themes like Hong Kong people, and we can't always make up the numbers with young works. Shen Zhenghui thoughtfully, "It is inevitable to burn money at the beginning. But there is always a return on investment. ”

Li Hong couldn't help himself. "I'm going to tell you all the good news."

"Don't let them have higher expectations." Shen Zhenghui said, "At the beginning, we must be strict, although it is necessary to burn money." But it doesn't mean that I'm willing to burn money at will. It's a good idea to do a survey in a magazine and ask readers which manga they'd like to see anime. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Li Hong agreed.

"In addition, I can't stay in Pengcheng for too long, I guess I'll be going to Yuhang soon, before going to Yuhang, I hope to see the magazine's specific plan for the future magazine to reorganize the theme."

Li Hong looked embarrassed, but she immediately nodded and said, "I'll do this right away." ”

However, until Shen Zhenghui left Pengcheng for Yuhang, he did not see this plan, and it was not until he left Yuhang and went to Japan that he read the electronic version of this plan in his e-mail.

……

When Shen Zhenghui arrived in Yuhang, Wang Anran did not pick him up, and of course Wang Anran did not need Wang Anran to pick him up, Shen Zhenghui knew the road in Yuhang, and Wang Anran was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground -- the exhibition of Binjiang New Area has entered a stage where in-service staff must work hard to push forward before they can barely move forward, and now Wang Anran, who has become the deputy director of the investment promotion office, has endless meetings, endless meals, and endless drinks every day. So when Shen Zhenghui saw him, he was surprised to see that Wang Anran had gained a lot of weight since the last time they met.

"I'm going to be transferred out of this position in a while," Wang Anran said with a hiccup, "It's much easier, I'm scared of wine now." ”

"What post are you going to?"

"Construction Planning Bureau." Wang Anran replied.

"This one is more in line with you." Shen Zhenghui said with a smile, and poured him a cup of tea by the way.

"I didn't call you, don't you want to come back?" After taking a sip of tea, King Anran asked, "Are you dazzled by Japanese?" ”

"I am definitely a red heart to the motherland, and I am also planning to return to China to exhibit, isn't this making preparations?"

"So you're looking for big 6 actors to make movies?"

"You know that, too?"

"I also read newspapers, even gossip newspapers." Wang Anran shrugged his shoulders and put down his glass, "I think your thinking is very good, Japanese, Thai, Hong Kong, big 6 people, all kinds of people, you want to dominate the Asian market." ”

"We have to do that." Shen Zhenghui replied, and then asked casually, "How is the cartoon thing?" ”

Wang Anran sighed deeply and said in a complaining tone, "How did you make things bigger and bigger?" He asked.

"I'm just messing around by chance, it's not worth mentioning." Shen Zhenghui waved his hand.

Wang Anran didn't have the heart to continue to play tricks with Shen Zhenghui, "Your three movies have attracted attention and discussion in the army, and the Air Force likes these three films very much, so it can be said that the release of these three films has played a great role in the army." ”

"Thanks P1A!" Shen Zhenghui said seriously.

"So the resistance is also from the military, you know?" Wang Anran continued, "The protests started with the military, and it was said that some people used military spending as favors to subsidize their own small coffers. ”

"Huh?"

"This also involves the struggle between different branches of the military, who told you to favor the Air Force so much in the film?" Wang Anran pouted and smiled.

"The sci-fi animated movie of the infantry is obviously also the Star War Infantry, or the Air Force, oh no, it should be the Rocket Missile Forces and the Aerospace Forces." Shen Zhenghui spread out his hand.

"With this change of appearance in Japan, some people took this opportunity to open fire." Wang Anran snorted, "If you really have a tetralogy, you won't be able to enter the fourth part, at least it is impossible to come in from a formal channel." ”

Shen Zhenghui scratched his head, "This means that I want to change the subject?" ”

"At least you can continue to play "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"," Wang Anran said, "Of course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also speaks for you, but in general, you must know that you have taken advantage of enough advantages, and others have to eat." So ......"

"Whew...... I see. Shen Zhenghui nodded.

Wang Anran rolled his eyes, "I also don't like those guys," he said in a low voice, "Because the Air Force makes your film a teaching film, some people also mention that the animation teaching is widely promoted in the army, especially the 6th Army and the Navy, and all kinds of weapons are combined with animation teaching, guess who proposed it?" ”

"How do I know?" Shen Zhenghui raised his eyebrows.

"I'm crazy about money." Wang Anran also shook his head, but did not continue on this topic, "You should consider outsourcing more, this can also be refunded." (To be continued!)
