After watching "The Evolution of the 4.6 Billion Ensemble", Jiang Anhong wanted to introduce this animation very strongly.

But it's not easy.

China Central Television (CCTV) is the leading domestic TV station – at least nominally.

However, the average price they pay for the broadcast rights of an animation is around 500 to 1,000 yuan a minute.

What is this concept? For example, "The 4.6 Billion Ensemble of Evolution", an episode of about 20 minutes is about 20,000 yuan.

To be honest, this is not even enough for a month's salary for a skilled artist at 'Wedo Entertainment'.

But that's what the animation industry is facing.

For an animated film, even if the production budget is low, it is difficult to be so low. If you want to make money by making animations and selling them to TV stations, then go out of business as soon as possible.

In corners that the general public can't see, a large number of animations are sold at such prices.

Even, the price they offer is already the highest in the industry, and it is also common for many small TV stations to buy an animation at a price of dozens of dollars a minute.

Of course, things like "Under One Man", "Full-time Master", and "Town Soul Street" don't count, they don't take the path of TV stations.

The reason for this situation is that the domestic animation market for children is dominated by TV stations and driven by domestic animation subsidies.

The animation subsidy can reach thousands of yuan a minute, which is a very attractive price for many animation manufacturers.

But if you want to get a subsidy, the usual condition is: to broadcast on TV.

Those who have been broadcast on TV are eligible for animation subsidies.

As a result, the TV stations sitting upstream are fully qualified to crush the price.

Sometimes, don't talk about counting on the TV station to give money, many animation manufacturers really beg grandpa to sue grandma, begging the TV station to broadcast animation, and you can pay for it.

Most animations can't make money by selling broadcast rights, and they even lose a lot. If you want to recoup your capital, you have to rely on animation subsidies, and then make some money by selling peripherals, selling DVDs, and selling toys.

In fact, many animation manufacturers are simply made by toy factories.

One can imagine what the quality of this kind of animation will be.

But 'Dimension Entertainment' is not such a company, and "Evolution's 4.6 Billion Ensemble" is not such a work.

It's just about 20 minutes seen in this first episode, although it only involves cells and primordial oceans, but from the perspective of an insider like Jiang Anhong, the production cost of this work is not comparable to those small workshops.

Especially when he went to the Internet and inquired about the situation of 'Dimensional Entertainment', he realized more clearly that if he wanted to take the animation subsidy, he couldn't handle others.

That amount of money, at best, can be invested by the Venerable family to win this 'popular science animation competition', as for the production cost? Forget it.

There is no way to go from this path, Jiang Anhong rubbed his eyebrows, thinking about other ways.

It's also interesting to say, a few weeks ago, Tang Zhiqi begged him to help get a place in the 'Science Contest'. As a result, now, it has become that he has to think carefully about how to make 'Dimension Entertainment' promise to put the film on himself.

Thinking about it, he probably had some ideas in his head.

"I hope to impress the ...... of Dimension Entertainment"

……

The news that Dimension Entertainment did the animation "Evolution's 4.6 Billion Repetition" has also spread.

Multi-party video sites, smell fishy and move.

Although, when you hear the name of this film and look at the subject matter, it must be a niche work. However, with the animation "Special Events Task Force" in front of him, it is difficult to say that "4.6 Billion Ensemble" will pounce.

What's more, the painting style of "4.6 Billion Ensemble" is not niche, and after looking at the concept art, the aesthetic style is simply not like the impression of a dull popular science work.

In the face of a number of tentative offers, Ye Jiayi made an offer of 2 million episodes with a total price of 30 million.

Nobody bought it.

Ye Jiayi didn't care, this was originally a way to scare off her opponents, and she hadn't considered doing such a thing as selling copyrights like before.

In the past, 'Dimensional Entertainment' lacked the ability to operate itself, but now that she has taken over, it is impossible to play so roughly.

At present, what she is really talking about is the premiere rights of this animation, as for whether it is exclusive or not, she has to watch it again.

According to her goal, in the first season of "4.6 Billion Ensemble", as long as the results do not hit the streets, Wedo Entertainment must harvest at least more than 20 million in the market before it can be considered a success.

The current network premiere rights, the price is around 500 to 8 million, and it is still being discussed. In addition, Ye Jiayi is also discussing the model of participating in the sale of broadcast rights and on-demand sharing.

Of course, since you have chosen to operate independently, it is unlikely that this income will be received quickly like selling copyrights. It will take a longer time to slowly pay for itself. But there is no doubt that as long as your own operational ability can keep up, the long-term income will be more than simply selling the copyright.

Fan Zhe didn't have any opinion on this, and left it all to Ye Jiayi to call the shots.

Now the company's financial situation is very healthy, and there is no need to sell the rights immediately to recoup the money to keep the company running.

In this case, it is the best choice to cast a long line to catch a big fish and maximize the commercial profits of a work as much as possible.

……

And at this time, it is also time to present the awards of the 'Popular Science Animation Contest' held in Shangjing.

Half a month ago, the organizer of the competition issued a notice, saying that it would deliver the works for the organizer of the competition to judge.

At that time, "4.6 Billion Duet" was far from finished.

However, in the rules and regulations of the 'competition', it is clearly stated that the companies participating in the competition must submit at least 100 minutes of finished films to the committee for viewing and evaluation.

100 minutes of content, which doesn't have to be done in the whole film, which is about five episodes. grabbed a little man-time, and Dimension Entertainment successfully completed the production of the first five episodes of the trial before that.

At this moment, in a venue in Beijing, the 'Popular Science Animation Contest' is underway. On the red carpet of the stage, several hosts who didn't know where they were invited were announcing the rankings one by one.

The Excellence Award has been announced, and the top three are left.

There is no difference between the second and third places, which can be ignored, but the name of the first place is the most important.

After the third place was announced, among the shortlisted works on the field, only two works of "Ming Animation" and "Dimension Entertainment" were left, and they have not yet been mentioned.
