434. Another summer
A month passed quickly, and at the end of June, the summer solstice had passed, and the climate in the imperial capital was gradually becoming hot.
The final examination of Tsinghua University in the first half of the year ended successfully, and it was another summer in the blink of an eye.
As of today, it is the third year that Jiang Xia has come to the imperial capital to attend university, and he will officially start his senior year in the second half of the year.
Looking back on the past three years, Qitian Animation has gradually developed from a small studio to a leading animation production company in China, with all the works produced are high-quality, and it has also opened up the animation film market and foreign markets, and several major IPs have a lot of influence in the world.
Jiang Xia's life of living again can be said to be quite smooth and exciting.
Today, the audience of Cat and Mouse is extremely stable, and the animation updates every two months are supported by high enough ratings and click-through rates, and director Wang Mingda has started the production of the 2013 Year of the Snake movie.
After tasting the sweetness twice, the Zodiac series of movies is undoubtedly the top priority of Qi Tian Animation.
The four-wheel drive brothers have also entered the plot of the national competition, and Xiao Lie and Xiao Hao's mini racing car has finally been updated to the third generation of super-high-speed racing cars, that is, the most popular Whirlwind Charge and Hurricane Sonic speed.
With a more handsome shape, the color matching is also very gorgeous, coupled with the streamlined body, it has a high popularity in the sinking toy car market as soon as it appears, and the sales of these two cars are also in short supply.
Not only that, Gaoyuan Toys Company also imitated the animation plot to make a track field with a large area, inviting players from all over the country who like mini racing to participate, and the championship prize is as high as 100,000 yuan.
This move also hyped the popularity of mini racing cars to the highest point, which greatly increased the market sales of toy racing cars.
As for Pokémon, the world's No. 1 IP in the previous life is naturally needless to say, a large number of cute Pokémon images can generate countless peripherals, and many game companies have contacted Qitian Animation and bought the game copyright at a very high price.
Gaoyuan Toys also took the opportunity to launch a collection of Pokémon cards, with different colors to distinguish rarity, the rarest legendary god card is plated with a layer of gold edge, many Pokémon true love fans to collect control, at any cost to spend, but also to have a complete set of card sets.
After the original Slam Dunk project team finished their vacation, Jiang Xia finally decided to hand over the IP of Digimon to Su Qing after careful consideration.
Because, the market for sports is so big, it belongs to the niche of the niche, basketball is a little better, after all, it can be seen everywhere, like tennis, swimming, bow and arrow...... It's too far away from the public, and the audience seems to be somewhat lacking a sense of substitution.
Of course, he also thought about painting table tennis in the way of the prince of tennis, and all kinds of cool special effects skills flew around, but the expression of the picture was too bells and whistles, not real at all, and not in line with the national conditions.
Jiang Xia handed over a thick stack of scripts to Su Qing and smiled, "Do you want to be the chosen child?" ”
Su Qing was stunned, and looked down at the animation script in his hand, which had a small black mark on it, and the title was - Digimon.
"Digimon?" He subconsciously read out loud and turned his head to look at Jiang Xia, "Is this the new animation project you are talking about?" ”
"yes, let's see, it's just the plot of the first season."
"Similar to Pokémon?"
After turning a few pages of character drawings, Su Qing frowned slightly, he thought it would be a new sports animation or a slam dunk movie version.
"Much worse."
Jiang Xia took a sip of water and continued, "The premise of Digimon is that several selected children travel to the digital world and go on adventures with Digimon in that world to find their way home. In the anime, you can't keep subduing Pokémon like Pokémon, and each chosen child has only one Digimon of their own. ”
He suddenly thought of Butter Fly and Brave Heart, two bloody preludes that rang in his head, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
Courage, friendship, love, knowledge, innocence, honesty, hope, light are childhood and memories that have passed away.
Looking back now, all that remains in my mind is emotion.
Jiang Xia temporarily put the memories of listening to the Evolutionary Divine Comedy to the neighbor's dog when he was a child, and said with a light smile:
"The plot between the two is also different, Digimon's adventure is thrilling, the theme is to save the world, and it belongs to the hot-blooded category, while Pokémon is more inclined to gym challenges and daily adventures."
"Sounds interesting." Su Qing said, he likes the hot-blooded type.
Jiang Xia patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "If this animation is well developed, the IP value will not be lower than that of Pokémon, the Digimon world is a place with infinite possibilities, and you can decide whether to launch the second or third season depending on the market popularity in the future." ”
"As for the Slam Dunk theatrical version......," Jiang Xia paused, "It's not the time yet, and when the time comes, I'll let you make it." ”
Hearing this, Su Qing nodded.
"Lao Su, let's go back and study it during this time, I will provide character drawings and part of the storyboard, and at the same time hang the name of an executive director, and the task of the chief director will be handed over to you."
Being entrusted with such an important task, Su Qing took a deep breath and his gaze became firm: "Okay, I will definitely not let you down." If the sample doesn't meet your requirements, you can always swap me out. ”
Jiang Xia smiled slightly.
He still recognizes Su Qing's ability.

During the summer vacation, Shen Ying came to the imperial capital on a business trip as usual.
After communicating with her supervisor, she can spend the entire senior year in the internship and wait until June next year to return to the school to participate in the defense.
This means that she and Wang Ming can stay together all year round until they graduate, and they don't have to be separated again, which is definitely a great thing for this loving couple.
As for her graduation thesis, she studied business administration, and her experience in network operations at Qitian was a perfect fit, and she could have written it as a thesis for the final defense.
Jiang Wende and Xia Shanshan took Xiaoman to the imperial capital for the summer vacation, this time the mother-in-law Ji Wanqiu did not go, and chose to accompany Lin Gaoyuan to continue to be busy with the company's affairs.
In addition, the big movie of love - your name, which I said to Li Weiya last year, is also on the agenda this summer.
Li Weiya served as the chief director, Jiang Xia provided the plot, and Lin Yanwan participated in the production of dubbing and music, and re-established a new studio to ensure that the production of new films continued to be promoted without affecting other projects.
Li Weiya can probably imagine that when the time comes, when the picture of this loving young couple dubbing in the recording studio, the concentration of dog food will obviously exceed the standard, and no matter who passes by, they will be fed.
She even wondered if this was a love movie that Jiang Xia deliberately tailored for him and Lin Yanwan.
It took a whole year to produce, and the company's resources were heavily tilted, and there was no one to talk about it to this extent.
Li Weiya watched Lin Yanwan enter the chairman's office again, and she didn't come out again for a long, long time, and she let out a long breath.
It's better to be young.
The final sprint is not for the first, but for the child to avoid many detours.
