Chapter 124: Animation Production
Hasegawa Hiroshi fell into contemplation, everyone has hidden ambitions in their hearts, Hasegawa Hiroshi had the idea of independent Studiodeen Studio from Sunrise Animation for a long time, but unfortunately due to various reasons, he does not have this ability at present, mainly in terms of funds.
Studiodeen studio don't look at the technology is good, but if it is separated from Sunrise Animation, then it is bound to buy a lot of machines, and it is also necessary to recruit various corresponding animation talents, but if you want to get these, it is not easy to talk about without enough funds.
Historically, Studiodeen Studio also broke away from Sunrise Animation two years later, and at that time, Studiodeen Studio, which had just left it, could only go around working for other animation companies, and after having enough funds and strength, another two years were wasted, and it was not until 1984 that it began to produce the theatrical version of the animation, and I have to say that the funds were important to the animation club.
"Chairman Hasegawa, don't worry about the funds, as long as Tianxia Club successfully acquires StudioDeen Studio, I will allocate another 300 million yen to support the progress of the animation company!"
Seeing the hesitation on Hasegawa's face, Zhao Chen's eyes flashed, as long as he hesitated, so that he could have the hope of being acquired, and Zhao Chen said this undoubtedly to increase the success rate of the acquisition.
"300 million yen!" Hasegawa muttered to himself, 300 million yen is not much, but it is quite a lot for the current studiodeen studio, with this money, studiodeen can buy enough machines, and then he will also have the ability to make zuò independently, which is a huge temptation for him.
Hasegawa finally agreed. In his opinion, whether it is the purchase price of 200 million yuan, or the rights and funds that Zhao Chen is about to give him, it is difficult for him to refuse. After all, Studiodeen may have gained some fame in the industry during this time because of the relationship between "Doraemon", but it does not have the corresponding strength and heritage, which means that if you miss this village, there is basically no such store. It was Hasegawa who agreed.
However, any acquisition needs to be negotiated slowly, after all, the interests of both parties are at stake, and in the end, Zhao Chen spent 250 million yen to successfully acquire all the shares of Studiodeen from Hasegawa. The rest of the story has not changed much, and Hasegawa continues to serve as chairman of Studiodeen.
When Hiroshi Hasegawa announced that Studiodeen Studio had been acquired by Tianxia Society, the rest of the studio did not object much. On the contrary, they are a little eager to try, they know very well that the studiodeen studio is likely to have a leap, not to mention that Zhao Chen increased their salary for the first time in order to stabilize the morale of the army!
Studiodeen is just a studio after all, and the acquisition process is not troublesome, but it is relatively difficult to become independent from Sunrise Animation. It was only under the offensive of Silver Bullet and some accumulated connections that Sunrise Animation finally had to agree to the independence of Studiodeen Studios from Sunrise Animation.
Studiodeen had just separated from Sunrise Animation, and immediately relocated from the headquarters of Sunrise Animation to Chiyoda Ward, not far from the headquarters of Tianxiasha.
Zhao Chen also then used 300 million yen to acquire various machines that were in short supply in Studiodeen, and secretly instructed Hasegawa to use his connections to go to Sunrise Animation to dig up various talents in short supply.
After all, Hasegawa has been in Sunrise Animation for five full years, and he has accumulated quite a lot of contacts in this area. Naturally, he is quite familiar with the road, and directly uses the high salary to poach all kinds of scarce talents from Sunrise Animation, thus filling the vacancy.
When Studiodeen Studio was acquired by Tianxiashe, this time, whether it was a comic giant or an animation giant, they were undoubtedly more vigilant against Tianxiashe, and the restrictions in the secret began to increase.
As for how Tianxia Society came to these sources of funds, these companies have also investigated one after another, and they were stunned to find that these funds came from Xiangjiang. As for the specific source. They didn't find out, but their tentacles had only been in the Xiangjiang River for a short time.
After having his own animation club, clothing factory and toy factory, Zhao Chen's funds on hand became short again, and he wanted to continue other acquisition plans in a short period of time, which was undoubtedly beyond his strength.
In just over a month. Studiodeen Studio has not only become a real animation club, but also purchased a number of machines, and the entire animation club has really worked.
In addition to the original production of TV animation films, the company has also expanded its business to include the production of plastic discs and the planning and sales of animation works. It may not be as complicated as Sunrise Animation, but it also has the ability to make and sell it independently.
Among them, the production of plastic discs is completely to make another amount of money, but now this industry is not yet reached, mainly because the projectors that play discs are not very popular in the island countries. If you want to really make a lot of money with this project, it will take at least a lot of time.
The other business is completely Hasegawa Hiroshi used high salaries to poach several management and technical personnel of Sunrise Animation, and these personnel also have their own connections, so they have a channel for planning and sales.
After Studiodeen Animation Club got on the right track, the first animation of Zuò was not "Doraemon", nor "Rebellious Lelouch", but "Football Player"!
In Zhao Chen's view, although "Doraemon" is a classic, it is not a comic work of Tianxia Society, as for "Rebellious Lelouxiu", which won the Nebula Award, the requirements for technology and machine QÌ are undoubtedly quite high, at least the current Studiodeen Animation Club does not have this ability.
As a result, the only four works that can be animated are "Soccer Player", "Cat's Eye Three Sisters", "Baseball Heroes" and "Sailor Moon".
Among them, "Baseball Heroes" was directly excluded by Zhao Chen due to the small number of serialized issues, and "Cat's Eye Three Sisters" and "Sailor Moon" are both due to women as the protagonists, which undoubtedly requires more sophisticated technology from the animation club to avoid a decline in quality. is also for this reason, the final choice can only be "Football Player"!
What's more, Zhao Chen's psychology has another consideration, among which "Football Player" is undoubtedly a very good experiment, if it is successful, Tianxia Club will also benefit from it.
After determining the first work of Studiodeen Animation Agency, Zhao Chen left the island country again and went to Treasure Island instead.
This time going to Treasure Island was a pure accident for Zhao Chen, mainly because he received a nomination for the Golden Horse Award and had to go.
Before that, I have to mention the scripts that Zhao Chen sold to Shaw Brothers and Xiang Huaqiang at that time.
The script sold to Xiang Huaqiang is "Chasing the Girl", directed by Wang Jing and Wang Fatzi, and starred by Princess Jin Cinema; And because Zhao Chen and Shao Yifu have a good relationship, the movie that Zhao Chen sold to Shaw Brothers is "Sword and Horse"!
These two movies, which were originally more famous in the future, started in this year's summer vacation, and their main opponents are Cheng Long's "Police Story" and "The Bitter War" introduced by Anle Cinemas!
This year's summer vacation can be said to be the spring of movie fans, they are addicted to watching it, these four movies can be said to have their own merits, and the styles are also different, including literary films, war films, police films and comedies. But they all have one characteristic, that is, they continue to sweep the box office of Xiangjiang. Among them, three are movies written by Zhao Chen.
These four films continued to sweep the local box office in Xiangjiang, and finally "Police Story" and "Sword and Horse" exceeded 10 million box office, and the box office of the other two films was also very close to 10 million.
It can be said that this time, the four major theater chains can be said to be fighting together, and no one can help anyone, but they also earn a lot of box office income for them, so Zhao Chen's name once again appeared in major newspapers and periodicals in Xiangjiang, and his reputation in the film industry was shocked, and he directly became the screenwriter with the most box office guarantee in Xiangjiang.
Although millions of scripts are very expensive, many filmmakers still tried their best to buy them at that time, but they all ate behind closed doors without exception, and now Zhao Chen is no longer the poor boy, where would he care too much about the one million Hong Kong dollars in income.
Among them, "Sword and Horse" is a rare literary film that is both a blockbuster and a word-of-mouth, which not only brought a lot of income to Shaw Brothers at the box office, but also showed no mercy in winning nominations.
Among them, there are seven nominations for Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Action Design and Best Screenplay, which can be said to be the most nominated work in this year's Golden Horse Awards, and the Best Screenplay nominee is Zhao Chen.
