CHAPTER 325: PEACH-PIT 1
readx;
At the beginning of October 2004, the small partner company quietly welcomed two Japanese employees, Sendo Wanli and Watako Ehara, both of whom are beautiful cartoonists. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info △ ↗ novel,Because,They were all born in Chiba Prefecture,So,Formed a comic group peach-pit studio,Break into the comic world together。
Originally, these two poor mysterious beautiful girl cartoonists would become popular because of the popularity of "Rose Girl" and be adapted into anime. In the next few years, "Zombie Loan", "Guardian Sweetheart" and other works will be serialized in mainstream comic magazines and adapted into TV animation, which can be regarded as a well-known cartoonist with a certain reputation.
It's a pity that Wang Qinian's conspiracy has made their fate frustrated and bumpy. Suffering from plagiarism and well-known, in the Japanese manga industry, it is already discredited, and mainstream manga magazines will no longer accept their contributions. Then, Wang Qinian, the mastermind behind the scenes, also sent people to recruit and include them in the small partner company.
Now, in order to better squeeze their surplus value, they are being recruited to China for development. The future King of the Road has already planned for them, so that they can contribute to China's comic and animation industry, rather than contribute to the continuation of Riman.
"A thousand miles, Ehara Shibuko?" Xiaoxiang is already a well-known original cartoonist of "The Rose Girl", and when she saw the two "plagiarists", although it was a little awkward, she still warmly entertained them.
Xiaoxiang seems to have studied in the animation industry in the past few years, and Japan is at the forefront of the animation industry, and in order to better understand the trends of the animation industry, she also spent hard work learning Japanese.
Therefore, Sendo Wanli and Ehara Watako couldn't help but be surprised, and they learned in advance that Mr. Yajo Mumengye, whose pen name looks like a Japanese. In fact, it is a group of Chinese cartoonists. And, I am very curious about this group of combinations - Wang Qinian, who is in charge of creativity, is the most famous director in China, and Li Lingxiang, who is in charge of painting, is not as well-known as her boyfriend, but the cumulative number of comic books published has exceeded 10 million, and even if it is taken to Japan, it is also an absolute first-line popular cartoonist.
As a matter of fact. Because of the plagiarism case of "The Rose Girl", many Japanese comic book lovers have paid attention to China's teacher Yacheng Mumeye.
Therefore, "The Rose Maiden" and "Ethereal Journey" were also introduced to Japan. At present, although the single book published in Japan is not as prosperous as the Chinese market, the total sales volume has exceeded 700,000 copies, which can be compared to that of an ordinary professional manga artist.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yacheng Mumengye!" The peach-pit pair squirmed, "Because of our negligence." became a plagiarist of your work......"
"It's unintentional, I've forgiven you. Besides, you're actually pretty good at drawing, much better than I do. "I ask you to help, mainly because of your talents." "Rose Maiden" plans to make an animated version, and needs your full help, would you like to animate with me? ”
"Animation?!"
"TV anime or theatrical anime?"
The two girls glanced at each other. He was surprised.
"Both! First, he invested 30 million yuan to make animation movies. Next. 20 million yuan to do TV animation! The whole project, 50 million RMB! Li Lingxiang is also used to seeing a lot of money, and for the 50 million yuan project, it is regarded as a small penance.
But the two Japanese girls were frightened, didn't they say, China is poor? 50 million yuan for animation. Converted into yen, it is already more than 1 billion yen, which is not a lot of money in Japan. You must know that most of the popular TV animations in Japan actually cost more than 10 million yen per episode, which is converted into RMB. Each episode is about 500,000 yuan. Some of the higher quality ones can reach a budget of 30 million yen per episode, which is equivalent to 1.5 million yuan per episode. And some TV animations that cut corners, the budget is only equivalent to about 200,000 yuan.
And when the Chinese make animation, when can they actually come up with such a big sum equivalent to 1 billion yen?
"This money, it's nothing. The online game of "Rose Girl" makes at least more than 5 million per month. It is equivalent to the profit of the game version of "Rose Maiden" for a year. "After making it, even if you lose everything, you should be promoted for the game!" ”
As a result, the two Japanese beautiful girl cartoonists also realized more deeply what a local tyrant the owner of the franchise is - the thinking of local tyrants and mortals is different!
Many people think that the Japanese animation industry is well-developed and should be very rich.
But the reality is that there are a lot of people in Japan, but most of them are small studios and small companies. Most animation companies are poor and don't have much money. After all, the industrial chain of Japanese animation is mainly controlled by TV stations. The channel is relatively strong, and the animation production company cannot have much right to speak. Although many Japanese animations are exported overseas, the majority of the profits are made by TV stations, and most of the animation production companies are just coolies.
The Japanese animation industry is well developed, and there are many products, but there are also many animation production companies and teams. Every year, a large number of animation companies are founded, and a large number of animation companies go bankrupt because of their works. Due to the high cost of labor and the high risk of animation in Japan, the entire industry is by no means an industry with unlimited scenery as foreigners think, but an industry that is very diao-silk.
Otherwise, Japan will not be able to, some popular animations, which have been serialized for decades, are reluctant to stop broadcasting.
Because, the animation industry is high-risk, and an animation that can make money is over, which means that the animation production company has to embark on a new adventure, return to the starting line, and compete with countless peers. As a result, many animation companies, as long as they can continue to make money with animation, have been reluctant to finish. For example, things like "Doraemon", "Crayon Shin-chan", "Ultraman", "Conan" and the like, but a large number of long-term meal tickets for many people in animation companies, if it is over, many people may lose their jobs.
To put it simply, the current animation industry in Japan is definitely a relatively low-income and tiring labor. Coolies are counted, and creativity and creativity are also needed. It is precisely because of the hard work, in order to save labor costs, the Japanese animation industry will continue to outsource orders to South Korea, Taiwan and Chinese mainland.
