Paris， France.

Shortly after Pentecost, Anthony had to leave home and travel to various European countries to begin his work.

Anthony is an "intermediary".

To be precise, he is responsible for pitching his client's animation work to interested buyers and distributors in Europe, earning a large "commission" fee.

He has been in this business for many years.

In the beginning, he traveled back and forth between North America and Europe, bringing European animation to North America and North American animation to Europe.

Later, he found that Asia, especially neon anime, seems to be relatively unpopular in Europe, which is a market that has not yet been taken seriously.

So he began to try to dismiss the neon side of the customer, and bring their excellent work to Europe, recommend it to the local TV station, or DVD burner.

In the past two years, with his outstanding eloquence and his eye for selecting works, Anthony has really made a lot of money.

But this line of work is too "lucky".

It is possible that a work you pick at random will meet the eyes of European audiences, especially children, and be coaxed at a high price.

It is also possible that you have traveled to various countries for many months, and all you get is all kinds of "sorry" tones, and in the end you have no harvest.

This kind of thing, I can't say for sure.

Anthony did not do this business without smooth sailing. He flipped over his car once last year, and he found an anime in neon that looked pretty good.

He assured his clients that the anime would be very popular with European audiences and would make a lot of money......

As a result, he walked around, and no one was interested in the anime at all. After four months of hard work, the air tickets, food and accommodation were all wasted.

It's just one time to be fooled!

Since that time, Anthony's eye for selecting works has become much more selective.

At the same time, his gaze is no longer limited to neon, North America and other places. Under the introduction of a colleague, he also began to try his hand at Huaguo animation business.

OK！

This is not simple, because those square words in China are too complicated and difficult to understand in Anthony's opinion.

I don't know how long I practiced, but Anthony was finally able to use Chinese for simple business communication.

Then he went to find the target.

The first animation he targeted was actually "Dragon Fighter".

In Anthony's opinion, this animation, which combines mecha, other worlds, and fantasy adventure elements, has too many gimmicks, and it is not at all worrying that it will not make money.

But it's a pity......

When Anthony came to the door and tried to get the license from the producer of the anime, he was unexpectedly told: "Sorry! You're late! ”

"Dragon Fighter" has been targeted for a long time, and it is trying to be introduced to Europe.

It's just that this animation didn't make any waves in Europe, and the response was relatively average, so Anthony didn't know.

Knowing this, Anthony was disappointed, and when he was about to take his leave and continue looking for his next target, the animation company called "WanBao" recommended another work to him.

《Oh！ GG Bond》

All right!

Sounds weird, doesn't it? As a result, compared to the feature film, the title of the play is already quite serious.

"A pig? Let a pig be the main character of the animation? Well, I don't understand, why can't it be alone? ”

Anthony complained frantically.

He has been in China for so long, and he can be regarded as understanding the animation industry in China. There was just one question that he never understood.

Why does Huaguo Animation like to use "inhuman" protagonists so much?

Why？

All kinds of bizarre animals can be the protagonists here, even a little too much, aliens, robots, and jelly people, but pure "human protagonists" are rare.

That's too abstract!

Of course, spit is spit out.

Although Anthony didn't like the idea of a pig as the main character, GG Bond was a really good anime, and he promised to bring it back to Europe.

This is the first animation work he brought back to Europe from China.

Moreover, this is also his first cooperation with "WanBao", a Chinese animation company.

The result is a happy ending!

The anime called "GG Bond" was recommended by him to many local European TV stations, and soon set off a "Super Piglet" trend.

That's right!

In Europe, people call Pigman "Super Piggy", which means that he is very good and can do many things that humans can't do, such as defeating demons and saving princesses.

The success of GG Bond laid the foundation for Anthony's partnership with Manpower Animation.

After that, Anthony brought back a number of Wanbao animations one after another, and recommended them to European TV stations such as France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Turkey, and Noch.

The results are not bad.

Except for the more subtle love animation such as "Moonlight is Beautiful", which does not perform very well, other Wanbao animations are very popular in Europe.

As the number of collaborations increased, so did Anthony.

For example, this time, he obtained the authorization approval of Wanbao Animation, and he can take the "Pokémon" animation that has not yet been broadcast to European countries to promote it.

It's so exciting!

You must know that even if the "Pokémon" animation is in China, it has not yet been broadcast on TV platforms, and only a little news has been broken.

If Anthony can get the TV stations in Europe and convince them to buy Pokémon, it will be the equivalent of "global simultaneous" broadcasting.

As for whether he can convince these TV stations, Anthony is full of confidence.

Let's not talk about anything else......

This is Pokémon!

The predecessor of "Pokémon", that is, the handheld game "Elf Trainer", is also very popular in Europe, and there are many players.

Under this premise, the animation adapted from the game of the same name naturally has a fan base, which can be said to be popular before it is broadcast, and the TV station will definitely buy it as long as it is not stupid.

The only problem is.

For such a "self-heated" animation, how high is everyone's "expectation"? What kind of price can be negotiated?

It's hard to know for sure.

After all, a game is a game, and animation is an animation. The Pokémon game is very popular, and no one denies this. But how many of the gamers will go to watch the anime?

What can be the conversion rate?

If Manbo can guarantee it, 80% of gamers will follow and watch the animation. There is no doubt that Pokémon will be the hottest anime in the world this year.

Not even one of them!

After all, the gamer base is too large, and even if only ten percent of the players will be converted into animated viewers, that is not a small number.

It's a pity that this conversion rate is ......

Anthony couldn't answer, and as an animation producer, Wanbao Animation could only shake his head, and he couldn't answer either.
