Chapter 169: A New Round of Expansion (Subscription Requested)
Because the actor of "Sailor Mars" exposed black material, which seriously affected the IP and the reputation of the character, the live-action version of "Sailor Moon" decided to postpone the broadcast.
How long the extension will be has not yet been determined.
But at least one thing is certain, and that is that within this year, the live-action version of "Sailor Moon" will not be able to air.
The ancients said: Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular!
Gu Miao had just finished dealing with the aftermath of the live-action version of "American War", and before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the stupid apprentice Xiao Guo brought another piece of bad news.
The animation "Happy Baby" may not be the first animation to be broadcast on the prime time of the provincial satellite TV comprehensive channel.
The reason is simple......
CCTV announced that they will set up a program called "Animation Park" at 18:00 pm on the CCTV comprehensive channel.
Name implies.
People call it "Animation Paradise", if you don't broadcast animation, will you broadcast TV series or animal world?
Chief Wang's expression was very depressed.
Originally, he had thought about it, and when Gu Miao's "Happy Baby" was completed, he would set up an "animation world" theater in the prime time of Jiangchuan Comprehensive Channel, specializing in animation.
He's going to be the first to eat crabs!
It turned out to be better......
The crab was eaten by CCTV, he couldn't even drink the soup, and then engaged in the "Animation World" theater, I am afraid that he will be ridiculed as a "follower dog".
"Don't say that!"
Gu Miao comforted Wenyan: "CCTV is at six o'clock in the afternoon, which is not the golden time. You make an eight-o'clock animation world, and there is no conflict. ”
One is an animation park, and the other is an animation world; One is at six o'clock in the afternoon, and the other is at eight o'clock in the evening, how can you say that you follow the trend?
Plainly.
CCTV is actually trying to cater to the "teenage" audience and broadcast animation to earn ratings after school.
But the six-o'clock file is not the "prime time" in the traditional sense of the TV industry after all.
This is not the same as the nature of the eight o'clock file!
Therefore, in Gu Miao's opinion, although this incident had an impact on their plans, the impact was not particularly large.
After all, there is a difference of two hours between eight and six o'clock!
Children can go home from school in the afternoon, watch CCTV's animation park to satisfy their hunger, then glance at the "simulcast news" at dinner time, and then watch the "animation world" at 8 o'clock in the evening before going to bed.
"That being said, I'm always upset."
Wang Taichang pursed his lips and sighed: "Animation paradise? Animation World! The two theaters are next to each other, and their names are so similar, it is inevitable that they will be brought out for comparison. ”
That's CCTV!
It's not that Director Wang doesn't have self-confidence, and he wouldn't be so discouraged if he were any provincial TV station.
But when I think of CCTV, it is also a comprehensive channel of CCTV......
Is there still a way to live?
Director Wang's grief and indignation, Gu Miao can understand it. After all, no one expected that CCTV, which has always been serious, would be so bold and create an "animation" theater on the comprehensive channel.
But from the perspective of an animation company and an animation producer, Gu Miao thinks this is a good thing.
CCTV is no ordinary media.
Their move to set up an "animation park" on the comprehensive channel seems inconspicuous, but there may be a hidden mystery behind it.
"Is this a signal?"
Gu Miao pondered: "I cut the animation subsidy policy before, and now I am doing this again, can I say ......?"
Gu Miao has no political sense.
But he's not stupid, judging from the recent policy changes, domestic animation seems to be about to collapse in the "cold winter", but this may also be a wave of purges on the eve of the arrival of "dawn"!
"Possibly."
Director Wang agreed: "I actually know a little bit of the inside story, but I can't tell you. Anyway, you remember one thing, no one wants to suppress domestic animation, on the contrary, everyone hopes that domestic animation can rise. ”
Oh?!
What a meaning there is in this!
Director Wang is worthy of being a person in the system, and he has a level when he speaks. In just two sentences, Gu Miao has foreseen the market environment in the next few years.
Wanbao had to prepare early.
Regardless of whether domestic animation can rise or not, at least this is an opportunity, an opportunity to develop and grow.
In layman's terms, the next "market outlet" is coming.
As long as you can stand on the tuyere, even if you are a pig, you can fly up with the help of this wind and become the much-anticipated "flying god pig".
To tell you the truth, Gu Miao wants to be this pig!
But he didn't know when this outlet would appear or in what form. So after some consideration, he decided to continue to "expand".
No matter what the future holds, recruit more people and reserve vitality, and the ability to seize opportunities will definitely be higher than others.
"Set a small goal!"
After sending Director Wang away, Gu Miao called Ma Kuijiang Keke and others to the office, and said categorically: "By this time next year, Wanbao Animation will reach the scale of 1,000 people." ”
Ah......h
Ma Kui and the others looked at each other.
Mr. Gu, this is too daring to think about it, right? At present, Wanbao Animation has nearly 500 people, and it is already a "serious supermodel" in the domestic animation industry.
Doubling more than a thousand people?
Turtle tortoise!
Let's not talk about how much salary expenditure is needed to feed so many people, the key is to support so many people, is it really necessary?
It is estimated that there are few internationally renowned animation companies with this scale.
After all, animation is not architecture, and it doesn't mean that a lot of people is a good thing. In the case of artistic creation, talent and talent are more important.
They really want to persuade Mr. Gu that his steps can be as small as possible, and there is no need to become fat in one go. Wanbao Animation just needs to maintain its current scale, and there is no need to blindly expand.
It's a pity......
Mr. Gu is like this, and he can't listen to it at first glance.
Ma Kui and the others hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement. After all, the big bosses are not afraid of dying, what else can they say as workers?
"That's right!"
Gu Miao thought for a moment, and then added: "Wanbao Comics, Wanbao Toys and Wanbao Games should also expand their scale, and they can't drop the chain at a critical time." ”
"No problem."
Lao He, Xiao Lin and the others nodded in unison.
Compared with animation companies, the difficulty of their "side hustles" to scale up is obviously much lower.
After all, there are few animation talents in China, and there are many workers and programmers, so you can recruit a large number of them by shopping around the talent market.
Only Nantong looked embarrassed.
Wanbao Comics has always wanted to expand, but there are fewer domestic comic talents than animation, and there is no way to expand.
"I have a way to do this."
Gu Miao explained with a smile: "On Seto's side, I have already contacted a neon company that is mainly engaged in light and manga publishing and distribution business for you. ”
"You go to Neon to have a look, keep the key editors and authors, and after you make sure that there is no problem, the group will come forward to buy it."
Magazines, publishing houses are not worth much.
But its high-quality authors, as well as experienced editors, are worth a lot of money, and by keeping these people, the comic company has expanded.
