Li Yu can understand Zhang Xuyao's thoughts.

In order to have a better box office abroad, you must pay more attention to the corresponding publicity.

However, what Li Yu can't understand is that foreign countries spend their thoughts, but they are quite casual to domestic audiences, which is disrespectful to China.

If you don't guarantee a good basic market, the consequences will be serious.

"We can't favor one over the other, our main box office must come from China, no matter how much foreign propaganda is excessive, it should still be with colored glasses. Director Zhang, you dug up your roots, and it will be difficult to come back. ”

Listening to Li Yu's heartfelt words, Zhang Xuyao was silent instantly.

Perhaps it was Li Yu's explosion abroad that gave Zhang Xuyao the illusion and courage, thinking that with the movie "Hero" and relying on Li Yu's fame, he could gain a foothold in the world.

can only say that Zhang Xuyao is too naïve, and the older he gets, the more confused he becomes.

If you want to gain a foothold elsewhere, you have to have a strong backing.

If the basic plate is not well maintained, once there is a fire in the backyard, the rootless duckweed still wants to gain a foothold outside, which is tantamount to a daydream.

"Then treat everyone equally."

Zhang Xuyao quickly understood the truth.

With his knowledge and insight, it is not difficult to understand.

It's just that the common problem of stars in the entertainment industry is at work, so he subconsciously doesn't take the domestic audience seriously. This is universal, and not an isolated case.

Therefore, Li Yu can understand very well that many people miss the previous entertainment industry.

At that time, celebrities didn't earn much.

But dedication, the lines are said by themselves, and the shooting is done in person, without cutouts, counting, lip-syncing, or repairing sounds...... It's all real and respectful of the audience.

really treats the audience as a parent of food and clothing.

Unlike now, celebrities want to be the grandfathers of the audience, and use the words 'close to the people' in news headlines at every turn, and say 'How terrible is it for celebrities to get angry'?

It's like, how noble the star is.

But the real master, it's the audience.

Some people put the cart before the horse.

Regarding this kind of atmosphere, Li Yu can only say that he will not be affected, maintain his original intention, and do his best to influence the celebrity friends around him.

It's too difficult for him to correct this unhealthy trend, it's something that requires the audience to wake up, and it's useless to rely on him alone.

However, with the frequent commotion in the entertainment industry, it is a matter of time before the audience awakens.

Zhang Xuyao understood, and Li Yu didn't say much.

"By the way, Director Zhang, do you know the director or company that does animation? It should be a very high-level, heart-warming kind. ”

"Yes, but it's hard to find someone who has the heart. There is a director who has changed careers, named Ma Chao, but he has the heart, but it is precisely because of this that he has changed his career for many years and no longer does animation. Other directors, Mr. Li also knows, now that anime is in a recession, he has no original intention for a long time. ”

Zhang Xuyao didn't talk too much about the animation industry, and pointed out the current situation in a few words.

Nowadays, all walks of life are busy collecting money.

If you do it seriously, you won't make money. All of them have been earned by those who engage in crooked ways.

Guoman is like this,Guoman in the early years,Even foreign countries have to learn,Especially small days,Copy a lot,And then it becomes its own thing,And in turn, it affects the domestic animation industry。

Today's Guoman,Good works don't make money,There are fewer and fewer people who are willing to do it seriously,Slowly withered,Only foreign animation remains,Occupy the domestic market。

"Mr. Li, don't think about it."

Zhang Xuyao thought that Li Yu was going to enter the animation industry: "Although this industry is not a sunset industry in China, it really doesn't make money, it is all about losing money and making money, or it is subsidized, whoever goes in will die." ”

Li Yu smiled and said, "I don't expect anime to make money, I understand it first, and then talk about it later." Then please ask Director Zhang to help me make an appointment with Ma Chao himself. ”

Ma Chao is not an animation director, but he has not left his old profession as a director.

He is now working as a director on a local TV station.

In this carefree environment for a long time, Ma Chao has long been smoothed out, and he has lost the sharpness and courage to enter the animation industry at the beginning of the year.

Ma Chao came directly to the studio.

Regardless of whether he does anime or not, at least Li Yu is the one who has to come and meet him in person.

When they met for the first time, in Li Yu's eyes, Ma Chao was just a greasy and fat middle-aged uncle.

It's hard to imagine that such a person was once a hot-blooded young man.

"Mr. Lee, why did you remember to play anime?"

When Zhang Xuyao contacted Ma Chao, he had already made it clear to him on the phone, so as soon as they met, after saying hello, he went straight to the point.

Li Yu didn't plan to play, but he didn't plan to refute the other party either.

"I have a little spare money in my hand, so I want to invest a little bit in all walks of life. Try more water to see which line is suitable for me to invest in, and try to turn it into a side hustle in the future. It's a good idea to learn more about the channels where you can make money. ”

As soon as he heard this, Ma Chao became even more convinced, Li Yu is playing tickets.

He won't poke it, but is embarrassed: "If Mr. Li just wants to understand the domestic animation industry, with my shallow industry knowledge, I can answer your questions a little, but I can't say anything deeper." As you know, I've been out of business for years. ”

"Okay, tell me about it."

Ma Chao began to talk about the past, present, and future of the animation industry in combination with the existing Guoman, so that Li Yu had a general understanding of the development of the animation industry in this world.

Actually, it's pretty much the same as in the previous life.

Guoman is half-dead, and there are occasional good works, but it is far less than Xiaori, and the animation industry is basically occupied by Japanese comics.

Some important and classic Chinese comics have been mentioned by Ma Chao.

Li Yu was right in his heart, there was no anime he wanted to do.

Yes, Li Yu is going to do anime.

However, as Ma Chao thought, it is in the nature of playing tickets.

Maybe Li Yu will only do the one he wants now, maybe he will do a few more, but he won't spend too much time and energy on the anime, depending on the situation.

"In fact, the fastest way to enter the animation industry is to invest directly in an animation company, if you want to find me, I have to rebuild the team, and there is no script and theme, let alone what direction you want to do animation."

Li Yu didn't pay attention to this stubble, but asked: "I heard Director Zhang say, Director Ma used to be a soldier?" ”

It was also based on this that Li Yu decided to see him first.

It's just that what disappointed him was that the temperament of a soldier could no longer be seen in Ma Chao now.

"It's all about when I was young, don't mention it...... If Mr. Li wants to invest in an animation company, I have a few good proposals, you see......"

"You take a look at this first."

Li Yu took out a document and handed it over.

Ma Chao took it, took a look at it first, and asked, "Mr. Li painted it?" ”

This turned out to be a comic.

Or arguably, anime scripts.
