Brothers, settle accounts.

Although Wanbao Animation has cooperated with Meiying Studio for many years and can be regarded as close buddies, the two sides still strive to not give an inch when it comes to the distribution of specific interests.

"Havoc in Heaven is a masterpiece of the American Film Studio, and the remake must also be a ...... of the American Film Studio"

"That's different!"

Ma Kui shook his head and said: "The old version of Havoc in the Heavenly Palace, it is an independent film produced by the United States Film Studio, so there is no dispute about the ownership." ”

"But the 3D remake is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and it is our Wanbao who is helping, and you have only provided a little help."

"No, this can't be!"

The representatives of the two sides quarreled for a long time, but they never came up with a plan that could be agreed.

Gu Miao couldn't stand it anymore, so she found the leaders of the American Film Studio and proposed a more compromise plan.

That is, Wanbao Animation takes the money, and the American Film Studio takes the name!

On the surface, the copyright of this animation belongs to the United States Film Studio, but in private, the two parties signed an agreement that the income generated by the IP belongs to Wanbao Animation, and Wanbao also has the right to dispose of the IP.

I have to say that this plan has pierced the psychological defense line of the leaders of the American film studio.

They are fighting back and forth, isn't all they want to be a "name"?

The decline of the American film studio, there have been no masterpieces in recent years, and it is this false name that is needed to let everyone know that the remake of "Havoc in Heaven 3D" is their work.

As for the word Li, to be honest, as half of a state-owned enterprise, Meiying Studio really doesn't care much about the benefits in this regard.

After all, an artist with an iron rice bowl must have a different idea from Gu Miao and Ma Kui, who are mediocre people who lose money.

"Then it's decided!"

Seeing that the American Film Studio agreed to this plan, Gu Miao said with a final word: "Go back and make a fuss in this name, but we will make a profit with "Havoc in Heaven 3D", and you don't care." ”

"When people asked, they said that the IP copyright affairs had been fully entrusted to Wanbao Agency......

Win-win!

With so many well-known IPs under Wanbao, there is no shortage of animated movies such as "Havoc in Heaven 3D", and making money must be the top priority.

In the same way, the American Film Studio doesn't care what kind of peripheral development Wanbao uses this IP for, they just want this false name to let everyone know that the American Film Studio has not declined, but has released a great new work.

At this point, the two sides who had been arguing endlessly finally reached an agreement, shook hands and began to hook shoulders as good brothers.

"Is it really that important?"

On the way back to Jiangchuan by car, Ma Kui was a little puzzled.

"You can do without real benefits, just ask for that one false name, what's the use of it for them?"

"How can you think of the thinking inside the system?"

Gu Miao smiled, and explained to Ma Kui while driving: "Maybe for people, the so-called box office peripherals are not worth mentioning at all, the important thing is that the debriefing report is well-written." ”

"Okay, I get it."

"But Mr. Gu ...... Can you drive slower, I'...... I get motion sickness! ”

Sitting in the back seat, Ma Kui's face was pale, as if he had been frightened by something.

He regretted it!

If he knew that Mr. Gu was driving so frizzy, he shouldn't have given up the driver's seat.

It's okay now, he didn't get motion sickness, but it has been less than ten minutes since he sat in Mr. Gu's car, and he has already begun to feel dizzy and nauseous and want to vomit.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Gu Miao squeezed her eyebrows and said, "I'm an old driver, you have to believe in my driving skills." Besides, when did you get as motion sickness as I did? ”

He was not lying.

Two lives, Gu Miao's driving experience has been twenty years, except for all kinds of small scratches, he really hasn't had a particularly serious accident, and his driving skills are very good!

Originally, with Gu Miao's value and status, it was normal to hire a driver to drive for him.

But Gu Miao has a bad problem.

He doesn't have anything to do with driving, but as long as he sits in the car, no matter how steady the driver is and how comfortable the rear seat is, he will always get motion sickness.

This also leads to the fact that unless Gu Miao is drunk or too tired, he will drive by himself, and the company's drivers generally pick up and drop off guests for him, and rarely have the opportunity to serve the boss of Mr. Gu.

"You are born to work hard, and you can't enjoy a little blessing......"

Ma Kui sighed: "If it were me, I would have hired a full-time driver a long time ago and bought a luxury car and only sat in the back." ”

"Luxury cars are just like that, it's not like I haven't sat in them, you know the big work of the little bear, right? It's not as comfortable to drive as my car! Gu Miao was extremely dismissive.

His car was still in business for two and a half years, and a Mercedes-Benz SUV that Komori bought shortly after he was born made him feel distressed at the time.

Originally, the company spent a lot of money, and it cost a lot of money to buy a new villa, if it wasn't for the feelings of taking care of his wife and children, he felt that the broken car he drove before was enough.

"That's right......"

Speaking of cars, Gu Miao seemed to have thought of something, and took the initiative to mention: "Have you ever watched those cartoons for preschool babies that are popular science?" ”

"I've seen it!"

Ma Kui said disapprerovingly: "It's just the kind of animation of a few simple characters going back and forth to the house." ”

"Yes, it's the kind of puzzle cartoon for kids!"

Gu Miao patted the steering wheel excitedly, looked at the fork in the road in the distance, and said while turning the turn signal: "Then what do you think, how about we Wanbao do this type of animation?" ”

"Yes! Anyway, this kind of animation doesn't cost much, so you can do it if you want! ”

Magui is not against it.

This kind of cartoon for preschoolers, that is, kindergarten and below audiences, really, how much money can it cost?

Thinking of the little prince in Mr. Gu's family who was in kindergarten, Ma Kui suddenly understood why Mr. Gu wanted to make such an animation.

"It's not like that......"

Seeing that Ma Kui misunderstood his thoughts, Gu Miao shook his head and explained: "This has nothing to do with my son, I just think that although there are many animation IPs under Wanbao Animation, they also cover all people over the age of 7, but it seems that we have not covered younger audiences." ”

Among Wanbao's existing animation IPs, the animations that are relatively young and the audience portrait are younger, probably "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Bear Infested" and other IPs.

But even these two animations cover kindergarten children at most.

Further down, that is, those preschoolers who have just learned to walk, can't even speak clearly, and can't go to the toilet to change clothes independently, are not covered.

Gu Miao, who is determined to build Wanbao Animation into a great animation company, how can she let go of children of this age?

It just so happened that when he was chatting with Ma Kui just now, he mentioned "car", so he thought of a classic preschool children's puzzle science animation.

Thomas and His Friends

The blue steam locomotive named Thomas has influenced countless children around the world, and this animation has also achieved great achievements that have attracted worldwide attention.

It just so happens that this animation is also an animation for preschoolers.,The plot is simple and not vulgar.,Even babies who haven't been to school can understand it.。

The most important thing is that the characters in it, that is, the lively locomotives, are simply too interesting......

If you want to make such an animation, according to Gu Miao's estimate, it is estimated that it will not cost a lot of money, after all, compared to other animations, "Thomas and His Friends" is too simple and crude.

But the coverage of this animation, especially after the animation became popular, the huge children's toy market opened up around Thomas the Train deeply attracted Gu Miao.

Who says this kind of animation has no future?

The consumption potential of preschool children, it is estimated that no one dares to admit the second, and all the rubber guys have to stand aside.

After all, these preschool children are usually the hearts and minds of their parents and the elderly at home, and no matter what excessive requirements are made, parents will try their best to meet them.

Can the glue guys do that?

Do you understand the gold content of human cubs? Who did the word little ancestor describe at the beginning, didn't you force it in your heart?

As long as you conquer these human cubs and win their favor and love, you will not worry about selling any peripheral toys.

……

On the way home, after chatting with Ma Kui about the potential value of the "preschool children" market, Gu Miao immediately decided that Wanbao would also enter the market!

However, animation for preschoolers is not the same as other animations.

This thing is so special!

is so special that Gu Miao can't imagine which studio of Wanbao Animation can take on this important task.

"Let's start a new studio!"

Lao Zhang proposed: "This new studio is mainly for the preschool animation market, and is specifically responsible for this type of early childhood animation. ”

"Yes!"

Gu Miao thought about it and felt that Lao Zhang's proposal was not unreasonable.

Since the existing studios have their own division of labor and are not suitable for the production of children's animation, a new studio will be established.

He had a name in mind, and it was called "Baby Bus"!

What a fitting name!

Focusing on a children's enlightenment animation market, the first work is the famous "Thomas and His Friends".

In retrospect, you can also make "Teletubbies" and "Garden Baby" into animated versions of children's enlightenment works.

Boy!

Thinking like this, Gu Miao was stunned.

If the development continues according to his planning blueprint, the newly established "baby bus" studio will not be able to achieve the highest profitability in the future.

After all, children's animation,Basically, it can run rampant all over the world.,It's not a problem to pass the censorship of various countries.,There's no strong competitor in this field.。

As long as a work is successful, it will be a lot of money to turn around, and you can create another Wanbao animation just by selling peripheral derivatives.

"Wolfsburg, Puppet, Flapp, Lightning, Dimension, Kyoani, Sailor, Fishing...... Oh no, Konjac Studios! ”

Counting with his fingers, Gu Miao couldn't help but sigh: "I said that I would reduce the number of studios and reduce the number of studios, but now there are more and more studios." ”

"No way, the stall is too big."

Lao Zhang doesn't think this is anything unusual, as Wanbao Animation's stalls are getting bigger and bigger, the number of internal studios is also increasing, isn't this a very reasonable thing?

Almost every studio has its own genre that it focuses on and deeply cultivates, and has a clear division of labor.

Unless it is a return to the era of small workshops in the past, it may be unrealistic to reduce the number of studios with the current scale of Wanbao.

"That's what I said......"

Gu Miao sighed, she had completely given up the plan to reduce the number of studios, and signed her name on the document approving the establishment of the "Baby Bus" studio.

At this point, Wanbao Animation has a brand new studio.

There is no one in charge of its main person or studio members, and Lao Zhang will then transfer some employees who are interested in animation from within Wanbao Animation to fill in.

Of course!

The main source of members of the newly established Baby Bus Studio is external recruitment.

This is the first time in many years that Wanbao has recruited core content production positions such as animators, modelers, animation screenwriters and concept artists.

Many of the elderly people who have been yearning for Wanbao for a long time and are eager to change jobs have shown cheering expressions.

What a chance!

Wanbao recruits people every year, but there are very few jobs released, and there are many people who compete, and many people have no chance.

This time, Wanbao set up a new studio and released a large number of positions, so that many people saw the hope of joining Wanbao.

The two places with the best salary in the domestic animation industry: Penguin Animation and Wanbao Animation!

Among the two, Wanbao Animation is everyone's most desirable company, even more desirable than Penguin.

The reason is simple.

Although penguins are backed by giants and have strong financial resources, they also have the common problems of large companies, and the work pressure will be very high.

And the penguins have not produced a few "very well-known" animation works so far, and they are still a head lower than Wanbao in the minds of ordinary people.

On the other hand, Manbao is different.

As the leader of the domestic animation industry, Wanbao's salary is very good in all aspects, and at the same time, the work pressure is not great, and there is no common problem of large companies.

The benefits are good, there are many gods in the industry, the company is famous, and the degree of creative freedom is also high.

It's a pity that Wanbao has not only not recruited people on a large scale in the past two years, but has laid off a lot of employees, which has made everyone a little regretful.

This time, the baby bus studio was established, and Wanbao started large-scale recruitment again, which can be described as a godsend.

The recruitment process for Wanbao is going well.

There are a lot of jobs released this time, but there are more job seekers, and it is said that resumes are piled up on HR's desk.

Not only domestic animation people yearn for Wanbao, but among the job seekers who come to submit resumes, there are even some foreign animation people, which Gu Miao never expected.

"What do they think?"

Gu Miao was quite puzzled: "The place of work is in Jiangchuan, won't these foreigners feel too far away, and they are not suitable for language, culture, and food?" ”

"Because we're Wanbao, because we have Superman, we have Dragon Ball, we have Cat and Mouse, we have The Lion King, and Sailor Moon ......"

After listing a large number of Wanbao's works that are famous all over the world, Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Other companies are very good, but they don't have these works." ”

"Got it, these are fans!"

Gu Miao understood in an instant, it seems that most of these foreign animators who are looking for jobs are fans of a certain animation of Wanbao, so they will apply for the position of Wanbao Animation, just to achieve the dream of "working in the holy land".

Good guy, is Wanbao so influential?

Wouldn't it be more common if in a few years, when the younger generation of fans have graduated and started a family? The company's employees are all fans?
