431. So, what is the cost
During this time, Lyons was annoyed.
He's not a fool.
Although John, a friend and subordinate, has been looking at him with the eyes of a fool ever since he said the phrase 'Am I being deceived'.
But he's not a fool!
When he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately picked himself up and checked PICTURE thoroughly.
In the end, the situation was more than he imagined...... A little better.
ALTHOUGH PICTURE LIED TO HIM, HE DIDN'T TELL HIM ABOUT THE COMPANY.
But PICTURE has indeed been brilliant, and it is indeed a well-known animation production company that can be counted in Huaya.
…… At least it used to be.
At the end of the last century, the golden age, there was no such thing as a production committee in the industry, and animation production companies didn't have to worry about money at all, as long as the animation was made, there was money.
PICTURE was founded in this era, a company that caught the tail of that era, and in that dreamy and crazy era, the company gathered a bunch of bigwigs and a group of talented young people and rose rapidly.
But the good times did not last long, and with the era of the bubble economy, all illusions were shattered, and no one was immune to the Great Depression.
In order to share the risk, a production committee appeared, and PICTURE, which was full of talents, began to lay off employees, and not only did it lose talent, but PICTURE's enthusiasm also seemed to be cut off, and the company languished until the beginning of this century.
But God still favors the company, and when PICTURE was on the verge of bankruptcy and on the brink of bankruptcy, the few young people within the company who survived the layoffs stepped into middle age, and they stepped forward. Under the leadership of the outstanding, they relied on limited resources, and during that time, relying on love and liver, they produced many excellent works.
These excellent works not only helped PICTURE through difficult times, but also made the company a mecca for animation fans at the time, and candidates who wanted to pursue a career in animation also saw this company as the best choice.
God rewards hard work, and these talented 'young people' who have entered middle age have worked hard to help the company continue its life, and they have also been rewarded.
The era of light reform has come.
Narita Kai rose in the era of light reform.
He didn't experience the glory of PICTURE, nor did he accompany PICTURE through the most difficult years, but he was lucky.
As soon as he joined PICTURE, he was appreciated for his ability to serve as the deputy director of an anime, and the following year, when everyone was not optimistic about a project with a large number of female protagonists, he persuaded the directors of the company to take over.
Then, he succeeded.
The one he was responsible for, a harem animation adapted from a light one and with many heroines, became the hegemony of the year.
In that era when everyone was shy and had not seen much of the world, he became the best supervisor in the minds of many people. At the same time, the directors of PICTURE also see him as the best overseer.
No why, it's simple, make money.
That year PICTURE made a lot of money.
Resources began to tilt towards the newcomer overseer of Narita Kei, and Narita Kai lived up to expectations. Carefully selected the light, and then the following year, PICTURE made a lot of money again.
Then, almost all of the company's resources were given to Narita Kei.
No why, it's simple, make money.
When the third plan was successful, Narita Kei felt that he had an undefeated golden body, so he found the president of PICTURE at that time, and talked for an afternoon, no one knew what he talked about, but the people of the company only knew, and the next day Narita Kei became the director of the company, responsible for the company's planning.
Then, things turned out very simply.
Before, Narita Kai was able to make money, and the company's resources were tilted towards him, and no one could change it, at most, he said a few words secretly.
The group of people who carried PICTURE out of the predicament can't do anything, they can only rely on the limited resources squeezed out, rely on love and liver, and do the animation they want to do in the interval between helping Narita Kai draw the harem.
It's just that this matter, with the coming to power of Narita Kei, is gone.
In the past, the wage earner became a director, and his thinking was different.
Narita Kai didn't hesitate at all, and directly rejected all the plans that he felt were not profitable and useless.
And what he did directly led to the concentrated outbreak of grievances and contradictions.
The group of people who carried PICTURE out of the predicament, the seniors of Narita Kei, walked to the opposite side of Narita Kai, and the contradictions intensified.
Until the president who can make a final decision comes out...... Choose to be on Kei Narita's side.
The president enjoyed the benefits brought by Kei Narita, and he didn't even want to play Tai Chi and mud, so he clearly stood on Kei Narita's side, and seemed to forget the bleak situation of PICTURE in the past few years, and also forgot that a large number of people in order to help the company forcibly continue their lives, and abandoned the heroes who renewed the life of the company in previous years.
This move hurt the hearts of a large number of animators who think that TM is a god
Huge drops.
Pay in exchange for such a result.
Not many people can stand it.
The old people who spent their youth in PICTURE and were about to run for five were disheartened and walked away.
PICTURE has become Kei Narita's Ichigodo thoroughly.
But.
There is no such thing as a good reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao.
When the old man ran away, Narita Kei was not only unaffected, but also more like a fish in water. There is no old man who cares about the picture, no old man who paints well but is slow, and there is no need to pursue quality, only quantity.
Kei Narita enjoys the light reform bonus that can make money while lying down.
Being able to make money and chasing capital has made him have more and more say in PICTURE, but all the directors of PICTURE are happy to do it.
This continued until the market wind changed.
More and more companies are following suit.
The big brother of this genre PICTURE is no longer shackled, the quality is steadily declining, and the audience is tired of the same light changes.
ALTHOUGH PICTURE AND KAI NARIDA DID NOT FALL OFF THE ALTAR IMMEDIATELY, THEY WERE IN DANGER.
Kei Narita knows better than anyone else that he has struggled when the wind has changed.
"Falling Feather", one of the best comics of the year, and the extremely ugly collapse of the last episode made the struggle all in vain.
But as the initiator, Narita Kei pushed the pot to the little-known production, picked himself out, and wiped it out......
The failure of "Falling Feather" was a turning point, and the failure of PICTURE offended one of the best publishers in the industry, which was a very heavy price, and since then, PICTURE's halo is gone, and the audience's favorite animation company in the period of ignorance has suddenly produced very few excellent works.
And even if there is an excellent work, it is short-lived, most of them are made by new supervisors, and they will leave PICTURE when they are basically done.
The reason for this situation is that Kai Narita has been in PICTURE for so many years, and he has been a student valve for so ......
In this environment, it is difficult for aspirants to stay.
That's what's going on with PICTURE.
This company still has a heritage, after all, it is an old company for so many years, it is very big, and there are many people who have entered this company, but it is very fantastical that their main creative echelon, especially the supervision, is completely disconnected, and they will leave as soon as a new supervisor emerges, and many viewers who know a little inside will jokingly call this company a talent conveyor.
It's the talent from this company, and I'm not very willing to mention the old club......
LYONS CAREFULLY INVESTIGATED THE PICTURE.
Have mixed feelings.
HAPPILY, PICTURE SHOULDN'T BE THE KIND OF GARBAGE COMPANY THAT PITS HIM AND RUNS AWAY.,There's still a background.,Animation can definitely be made.,And theoretically it can be done......
As for the various choices on the road to the rise of this company, driving away the old heroes or something, Lyons, a Mi Chinese who doesn't know much about the animation production industry, has no feelings.
This kind of thing...... Isn't it normal......
And the worry is that Lyons keenly feels that he has indeed been fooled, PICTURE is not as calm as he appears, this project, the reason why PICTURE asked him to invest, is completely like YUKI Studio, is to fight to the death and try to save himself. It's been a long time since PICTURE has been memorable.
It was annoying, much to the annoyance of Lyons.
Plus, there's a little more.
IN THE PROCESS OF INVESTIGATING PICTURE, LYONS LEARNED THAT ON THAT DAY, THE COMPANION STANDING NEXT TO HER WHEN GU XUE LOST HER TEMPER WAS CALLED CHISA MIHARA, AND ALSO LEARNED ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE AT PICTURE.
Lyons understood why Gu Xue scolded that day, and at the same time discovered some things that Gu Xue didn't know yet.
Most of the animators who ran away from PICTURE are already in their prime, they don't get together, most of them have become only professionals, and they are a group of well-known and very powerful old people.
At that time, Mihara Chisa was working at PICTURE, and when PICTURE was doing the last episode of "Falling Feathers", Mihara Chisa visited these people who ran away from PICTURE one by one, but these people had prejudices against Narita Kei, although they met Mihara Chisa, but when they heard that it was Narita Kai, no one was willing to help.
After that, the last episode of "Pretty Feather" broke out, and Mihara Chisa became a scapegoat, and because of this incident at the time, there was a lot of trouble, and Narita Kai pushed it all away, but these people who ran away are not stupid.
At that time, a large number of heroes who had run away from PICTURE were spraying Narita Kai on the push, and they also apologized to Chisa Mihara.
