"Operation Red Sea" was released in just one week, and it successfully won the box office of 1.2 billion.

And the performance of the box office is still not declining, and the box office has not fallen out of 100 million on the same day. In addition, the official side has been helping to build momentum, and the movie has been on the hot search several times a day almost every day.

Of course, while the movie "Operation Red Sea" was a big hit, "Bright Sword", which was broadcast at the same time, suffered a little.

Although both film and television works have the label of Xu Ji, "Operation Red Sea" was directed by Xu Ji himself after all, and the popularity of "Bright Sword" cannot be compared for a while.

Fortunately, one is a movie and the other is a TV series, and the impact on each other is not very great. On the kiwi side, Congzhu naturally also discovered that since the release of "Operation Red Sea", various data of "Bright Sword" have declined.

Fortunately, the amplitude is not very large, and the signs of subsequent recovery are obvious. I am also a little glad that this time it is Xu Ji's movie released.

Instead of Tongji Entertainment's new drama airing. No one is afraid of the bamboo, after all, she has full confidence in this "Bright Sword".

But if it's Xu Ji, it's really hard to say. In Congzhu's own words, only Xu Ji himself can defeat Xu Ji.

So what she didn't want to do was to spend a lot of money to get the copyright of Xu Ji Drama, but in the end she still fought with other dramas of Tongji Entertainment.

In this case, it is really a bit too much of a loss. ...... At this time, in Rongcheng, Xu Ji looked at the blonde Martin with a surprised face.

This guy actually flew over from the American side. He thought the other party was joking.

"Xu, long time no see!" As soon as Martin Mason met Xu Ji, he enthusiastically came up and gave Xu Ji a big hug.

You Man on the side has always heard of Martin's name, and even talked to each other before, but it is indeed the first time to see a real person.

"I really didn't expect you to really come to Huaxia." Xu Ji said. It was Martin's first time in China, and everything was new along the way.

"Huaxia is a little different from what I imagined." Martin spoke.

"Xu, you can take me to have a good taste of your food here." After hearing this, Xu Ji readily agreed.

Martin came this time, naturally, for the script. The main reason is that he has urged Xu Ji many times in the United States, although he has always promised it, but this script is just invisible.

Coupled with the fact that "Chainsaw" has already been released, for Martin, it is actually nothing to be idle in the United States.

In the past, Martin had many ways to pass the time, and he would appear in various bars or in the glamorous occasions.

But now, since "Saw Horror" directly got $180 million at the box office, he has no interest in other things at all.

The whole person is thinking all the time about when he will be able to make a second movie. Even the idea of showing off in front of those fox friends or his father felt bored.

Martin was trying to prove himself. But now, he enjoys the sense of accomplishment that comes from being able to sell the box office of a film he is responsible for as a producer.

This is the first time Martin has experienced this feeling in his life. But just once, it made him completely addicted.

......

"Martin, can you eat spicy?" At dinner time, because Martin came from afar, Xu Ji naturally took the other party to visit Tongji Entertainment.

By the way, I did my best to be a landlord and invited the other party to a meal or something. "Operation Red Sea" has now been officially released, and Xu Ji's time has become idle.

Otherwise, I really don't have time to take Martin to dinner or anything. Hearing Xu Ji's words, Martin was stunned for a moment.

But then he replied decisively: "Of course!" ”

"Do you know what my friends used to give me nicknames?"

"Son of Chili!" Martin looked confident. When he was in the United States, he actually ate some Chinese food.

Of course, I didn't think there was anything too spicy. He didn't take Xu Ji's words to heart at all.

And Xu Ji heard Martin say this. I directly ordered dinner to eat hot pot. ...... Half an hour later, in the private room of a hot pot restaurant in Rongcheng, Martin's mouth was swollen a lot, and he was crying and dripping his nose.

Xu Ji looked at the other party with some concern.

"Martin, are you sure you're okay?" Martin Mason subconsciously shook his head after hearing Xu Ji's words.

Then he said with a big tongue: "The nest does not seem to fall, it does not fall at all." Xu Ji was very helpless, mainly because the other party just swore that he could eat spicy food, which reassured Xu Ji.

Otherwise, order the mandarin duck pot. What made Martin unacceptable the most was that in stark contrast to him, Xu Ji and the others in front of him were almost all like nobody.

Even Xu Ji's girlfriend, a girl who looked so cute, didn't react at all. The title of the son of chili pepper will have to be changed in the future.

Son of Chili Pepper.

"Mr. Martin, why don't you eat it?" Sha Yetong, who was sitting next to Xu Ji, couldn't help but persuade.

But obviously, it didn't work, and Martin still ate it to his heart's content.

"This one is delicious, shhhh

"It's not spicy!" He said, shaking his head. ...... That night, it was just as Xu Ji expected.

Martin went to the nearest proctology department of the hotel where he was staying. On the first night of his trip to China, he successfully spent it in the hospital.

Xu Ji originally wanted to comfort him, but after thinking about it, he forgot it. I can't go and say, "Are your chrysanthemums okay?" "Let's save some face for foreign employees.

However, although he did not go to see Martin, Xu Ji still put the matter of writing a script for Martin on the agenda.

After thinking about it for a while, I started writing the script. This movie is actually quite suitable. It's just that compared to the original "Saw Horror", the challenge is greater.

Of course, this time Xu Ji didn't plan to completely let Martin do it alone. Instead, I was going to let some of the employees of Tongji Entertainment go on a business trip.

In this way, at least it can ensure that Martin will not have some unexpected situations due to his lack of ability.

...... At the same time, there was news from Cherry Animation that the production of "Those Things About That Rabbit" had been completed.

The number of episodes of this anime is not very large, and at the same time, it is relatively simple to make. There's nothing difficult about the cherry animation side.

Naturally, the production time is not very long. Of course, although the production is simple, Yu Wulong, the person in charge of Cherry Animation, has not relaxed at all.

He knew that although this animation looked like a toddler's thing, it carried multiple meanings in it.

So although Xu Ji didn't emphasize anything in particular. But Yu Wulong still put twelve points of thought into it.

I want to be as perfect as possible. Otherwise, even the production cycle can be greatly shortened.

Of course, Cherry Animation is not like some other animation companies. The project does not have a very accurate cycle.

In other words, Xu Ji did not require them to come up with the finished product within the specified time. Plenty of time to make it.

This was the case with the original "The Return of the Great Sage", and the same is true for the current "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year". Obviously other companies can't do that.

Because the longer the production cycle, the higher the cost. Therefore, there will generally be a situation of catching up with the schedule in the later stage.

Mistakes or defects usually occur for this reason. How can it be like Yu Wulong, I can't wait to proofread dozens of times and grasp all kinds of details.

And Xu Ji here, after reading it, he was also very satisfied, and did not put forward any suggestions for changes.

This is followed by the normal submittal. At the same time, because Tongji Entertainment's current animation project is also in cooperation with Station G.

This time, the rabbit will continue to be broadcast on station G. ...... Station G, the current animation department, Ling Jiuqian, as the person in charge, is in a good mood at this time.

Every time Tongji Entertainment's new drama was launched and broadcast before, it was a big blow to their department.

After all, the film and television department has almost robbed them of all kinds of resources over the years. Some new dramas that bought the copyright are not as good as Tongji Entertainment's new dramas in terms of publicity.

There is even no such thing as propaganda at all. In addition to this, the biggest thing for everyone is the reduction of the copyright budget.

At the beginning, the film and television department's quarterly copyright budget may not be less than one-fifth of theirs. But now, basically the film and television department has more than doubled them.

However, since signing a contract with Tongji Entertainment, this situation has indeed had a good flip. Especially a "Return of the Great Sage" and a "Dream Travel".

It can definitely be regarded as a phenomenal animated movie, and other domestic platforms must want to fight for copyright. But in the end, it still fell on the head of station G.

Although the royalties are not low, the benefits are also high. Relying on these two animated movies, the membership conversion rate of the animation department some time ago has even been higher than that of the film and television department.

It was nothing in the past, it was a normal phenomenon. But in the past few years of cooperation between G station and Tongji Entertainment, it is indeed a rare first time.

......

"Mr. Ling, the new animation over there seems to have been completed." The staff of the department responsible for docking with Tongji Entertainment suddenly came to report at this time.

This made Ling Jiuqian a little surprised. After all, according to the progress of Tongji Entertainment's animation production before, it is impossible to be so fast.

The production cycle of the previous opponent's "The Return of the Great Sage" started in at least half a year. Although judging by the quality of the final movie, the efficiency is indeed high enough.

But this time it's only been a few months, how can it be done. Of course, surprise is surprise, but in the final analysis, this is a good thing for Ling Jiuqian and the animation department of Station G.

"Has Tongji Entertainment submitted it for trial?" The subordinate nodded at this point. Then he said: "It's submitted for review, and it will be given to us after the review." Ling Jiuqian was relieved when he heard it at this time.

Anyway, as long as it is submitted for review, it will not be much time before the follow-up is officially launched on station G.

...... Within a few days, Ling Jiuqian still successfully got the animated series of Tongji Entertainment.

As the first audience to try it out, Ling Jiuqian still had a lot of expectations. After all, whether it was "The Return of the Great Sage" or "Dream Travel", they were all very good animated movies.

Compared to normal animated series, the production of animated films is definitely more difficult. As long as the script is good enough, then there should be no big problem with the technical level of Cherry Animation on Tongji Entertainment's side.

Of course, Ling Jiuqian is not particularly worried about the script, after all, there are traces there. Scripts, on the contrary, are one of the great strengths of Cherry Animation.

Ling Jiuqian first glanced at the name of this animation.

"What happened to the rabbit that year?"

"It's an interesting name." Ling Jiuqian didn't know what the name of this animation meant. But at least it's not unpleasant.

"Twelve episodes?"

"That explains why the production cycle is so short." Ling Jiuqian glanced at the number of episodes and said to himself.

Twelve episodes are indeed shorter. Especially in some local Chinese children's animation, the gap is even greater.

Many animation IPs and even hundreds or thousands of episodes are very common. Of course, generally speaking, only those who make money can shoot for so long.

If you don't make money, even if there is a second season or follow-up plan, the investor is not a fool and will not continue to spend this unjust money.

However, the twelve-episode anime, although somewhat short, is not particularly unusual. A lot of animations on the Sakura Country side are also twelve episodes.

Of course, the original manga of this anime is also short, so it is difficult to make it long. And with such an amount of animation, there are not a few people who make money out of the circle.

This is not a problem. As long as the animation is exciting enough, that's enough. ...... With this in mind, Ling Jiuqian began to watch the first episode.

But when the opening ended and saw the painting style of the characters in the animation, he was directly stunned.

"What is this?" The first thing Ling Jiuqian thought about was whether it was Tongji Entertainment's side that made a mistake.

How could it be this style? It's completely a cartoon character for young children.,I don't know how to say a word of praise in the production.。

It's so easy, there's no difficulty at all. Even Ling Jiuqian felt that it could be done by any small company.

No one would have thought that this was the cherry animation that produced "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Dream Travel" before.

Is the horizontal fluctuation that big? I won't be fooled, right, Tongji Entertainment is planning to rely on such an animation to get the wool of their G station?

But just when such an idea appeared, Ling Jiuqian denied it in his heart. With the current fame and strength of Cherry Animation under Tongji Entertainment, there is a high probability that they will not do such a self-destructive thing.

And with the current company scale of Tongji Entertainment and the box office of the movies it produces, there is really no need for people to use this way to earn their own three melons and two dates.

Thinking of this, Ling Jiuqian still suppressed his restless mood and persuaded himself to continue looking down.

......
