Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 519: Just tell me whether you dare to accept it or not? (1/2)
Domestic cartoons once had a glorious history. Before liberation, the Wan brothers had produced the influential "Princess with the Iron Fan".
Osamu Tezuka, the founder of new comics in the island country, started writing comics after watching this cartoon.
His Astro Boy actually has the shadow of Sun Wukong.
After liberation, classic animations such as Havoc in Heaven and Nezha Haohai were filmed.
As the development progressed to the 1980s, the second spring of animation ushered in, such as Calabash Baby, Avanti, Black Cat Sheriff, etc., which have grown up with generations of people.
Only later, due to financial and institutional reasons, the development of domestic animation was restricted, which led to the screen being occupied by cartoons from island countries and Europe and the United States.
Thinking of this incident, Liu Qingshan still felt very regretful: In fact, in the 1980s, everyone was still about the same. Even if they were slightly behind, there was still hope of catching up.
Now that he, Wu Tong and the others have formed Qingshan Animation Company, they may be able to cooperate with Shangmei.
Aoyama Animation currently only has two cartoonists and does not have the ability to produce cartoons. The two parties can completely complement each other.
The staff members began to work on their own again, and they treated the little fourth man's words as childish talk.
Director Hu was also busy, leaving only the old man who teased the little old man just now, Grandpa Zhou, leading the two little people to visit and explain.
Liu Qingshan also joined in with great interest and listened.
They have a paper-cutting department here. In addition, they also have puppet animation, ink animation, etc.
The most famous puppet animation is Avanti, an ink animation, such as a tadpole looking for its mother.
The fourth and fifth brothers also gradually understood the process of making cartoons. It turned out that it was really hard work and they needed to be drawn frame by frame.
Before computers, all of this was done manually, which was a really heavy workload.
As for the cost of production, it’s really hard to calculate. In addition to the various materials required, there are also everyone’s wages.
Grandpa Zhou was cheerful, and he was not bothered by the two little girls asking questions.
Only then did Liu Qingshan realize: It turns out that the Calabash brothers all look exactly the same, and this is really to save costs.
Because funds are limited, it’s up to you to save money. To this end, Director Hu gave full play to democracy and asked everyone to brainstorm. Whoever comes up with a good idea will be rewarded with a chicken.
In this day and age, a chicken is quite valuable, and it is quite good to use it to improve your life.
"You two little kids will ask Xiao Hu for two chickens soon." Grandpa Zhou was still joking.
Liu Qingshan also chuckled, but he had a different feeling in his heart, somewhat bitter:
It was in this simple situation that everyone worked overtime and created such a classic cartoon.
But why doesn’t it work later?
So he said: "Mr. Zhou, Calabash Baby only has thirteen episodes in total. It's too short. Why don't you shoot more? Those cartoons in the island country have hundreds or thousands of episodes?"
"It took us two years to produce these thirteen episodes."
Mr. Zhou knew that Liu Qingshan was an outsider, so he didn't care and explained casually.
Liu Qingshan muttered: "Hey, actually, we can also do a continuous one. After beating the scorpion essence, there will be a snake essence. After beating the snake essence, there will be a black bear essence."
"It's like Journey to the West. Along the way, you have to defeat monsters and go through nine or nine or eighty-one difficulties."
In fact, many cartoons from island countries follow this routine, and hundreds of episodes are commonplace.
Just like Dragon Ball, one martial arts tournament can be watched for several years.
Grandpa Zhou also laughed: "If there are sufficient funds, of course there will be no problem, but the allocation from above is very tight. Xiao Liu, do you know how much money the above allocated for our cartoon?"
"Grandpa Zhou, how much is it?" Little Laosi asked again.
"A total of sixty thousand yuan." The old man made a six sign.
"Wow, so few!" The fourth and fifth sons said in unison.
Liu Qingshan only had admiration in his heart. He felt that these staff did not lack skills, let alone the spirit of hard work. The only thing that could hinder them was money.
And this is exactly what should not be a stumbling block.
"Grandpa Zhou, Shan Xing and I also have an idea. When we make the sequel, can we add two gourd girls to it?"
Xiao Laosi asked, blinking his big eyes.
Haha, Mr. Zhou immediately guessed the intentions of the two little girls, smiled and touched their heads: "Who knows if we can make a sequel?"
"It will definitely work."
Liu Qingshan said with confidence, because this is the fact. Calabash Baby was the only cartoon that was allowed to continue filming sequels, which shows its popularity.
Another classic animation of the same period, Black Cat Sheriff, was awesome, but it ended abruptly after five episodes.
Children across the country at that time remember very clearly that at the end of the fifth episode, Sheriff Black Cat took out his small pistol and typed four words: Please watch the next episode.
As a result, after waiting for decades, I still didn’t see it.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan asked casually: "Mr. Zhou, why didn't Sheriff Black Cat continue filming?"
"You're talking about Lao Dai's film. Lao Dai has been retired." Mr. Zhou let out a long sigh.
Being retired?
Liu Qingshan somewhat understood: Things within the system are very complicated.
He subconsciously murmured: "It's good to retire..."
As a result, he found that several eyes were directed at him in the room, all with strong dissatisfaction.
Liu Qingshan quickly added: "It's good to retire. Our company is just short of staff and can hire him."
"Your company, what company?" Zhou asked in confusion.
Before Liu Qingshan could answer, the fourth child rushed to raise his hand: "We are Qingshan Animation Company."
Everyone shook their heads together. They were all insiders and had never heard of it.
At present, film studios, including art film studios, are all state-owned units.
Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "Our company is registered in the island country. We just started. We just started last year and serialized two comics."
"It's good. One is Chibi Maruko-chan."
"The other is Chef Boy."
The fourth and fifth children rushed to answer.
Inside the room, a young man suddenly interrupted and said, "These two comics seem to be very popular in the island country. They will definitely be made into cartoons!"
Now, everyone dared not underestimate them anymore: to stand out in the island country, they must be very powerful.
Mr. Zhou's eyebrows also trembled a few times: "Xiao Liu, do you want me to help you contact Lao Dai?"
This old naughty boy is about to retire, so when he heard Liu Qingshan say that he could recruit, he was a little excited.
"Okay, okay, then I really trouble you."
Liu Qingshan also nodded vigorously. If he can really recruit people for Qingshan Animation this time, he will make a lot of money.
Even Director Hu came over. He originally thought that Liu Qingshan was an irrelevant person, but he didn't expect that he was in the same industry.
It's just that one is public and the other is private.
In the past two years, everyone has gradually realized that the private economy has developed rapidly, so they don't despise it as much as before.
They even gradually began to envy it, and the reason is very simple: the salary is high.
"The funds allocated by the higher authorities are too little. Many times, we are also a good cook who can't cook without rice." Director Hu complained.
Just like the opening song of this Calabash Brothers, the soundtrack is actually an electronic piano. Can you believe this?
Mr. Zhou also nodded: "The factory is getting more and more depressed. Many young people have come here, but they are idle and have nothing to do."
Liu Qingshan knew that there were many reasons for the decline of this industry, but funds were definitely the first.
This situation is actually very serious.
Because cartoons will affect generations of people, and this influence is much greater than that of movies.
When we were children, it was the time to shape our personality, but all we saw on TV were cartoons from the island country and the United States. This must be a problem.
After thinking for a while, Liu Qingshan suddenly said, "I wonder if you can do contracting in the American factory?"
The people around him had already gathered around, and when they heard this, they were all stunned: They really hadn't thought about this problem.
After a long time, Mr. Zhou spoke first: "Comrade Xiao Liu, this is something that the leaders above need to consider. It's useless for you to ask us. We are just people who work."
"Our Qingshan Animation lacks people who work, not leaders."
Liu Qingshan also replied with a smile, and the hoe in his hand was already raised high.
This made many people feel a little excited, but they soon shook their heads: they still couldn't bear to give up this iron rice bowl.
Only Mr. Zhou said happily: "Comrade Xiao Liu, I am about to retire, do you want it?"
"Of course, the salary will be doubled, and at the end of the year, additional bonuses can be awarded based on the completion of the work."
Liu Qingshan said loudly.
Inside the room, there was a sound of air conditioning: the salary will be doubled!
"You, don't even ask me what I do? I'd be a tea-serving, water-sweeping person."
Mr. Zhou smiled and pointed at Liu Qingshan.
Liu Qingshan also replied cheerfully: "That's necessary. At least you have rich work experience and know where to put the cup so that it won't be knocked over and affect everyone's work."
Mr. Zhou was immediately delighted: "Xiao Liu, you are preparing to spend a fortune on horse bones."
They are all old and shrewd, of course they can see Liu Qingshan's thoughts, but the doubling of salary really makes everyone excited.
It's a pity that there is no precedent for contracting a film studio, and it's probably difficult.
Liu Qingshan also knows that this matter can't be rushed, and it needs to be done step by step. In fact, not only art film studios, but also ordinary film studios have basically stagnated for more than 20 years.
It can even be said that during this period, domestic films have not made progress but regressed, so they are left further and further behind.
As they chatted, it was time to get off work. Liu Qingshan led the two little girls and followed the large group of people leaving work to leave Shangmei Factory.
Most of the employees rode bicycles. Even Mr. Zhou pushed a 28-bar bicycle and chatted with Liu Qingshan while walking. They were going to visit Director Dai's home together.
Liu Qingshan helped him push the bicycle and bought a few bottles of good wine on the way. He happened to pass by the Xiao Shaoxing Delicatessen and bought some food.
In this era, most employees lived in family housing. After walking around for half an hour, Mr. Zhou pointed to an old four-story building in front and said, "We're here."
His home was also here. He parked the bicycle in the carport downstairs and locked it, and then led Liu Qingshan upstairs.
When passing by the second floor, he told his wife that he would not eat at home, and then led Liu Qingshan to the fourth floor.
"Old Dai, are you home? I've brought you a distinguished guest today."
When Old Man Zhou started to shout, many people greeted him cheerfully.
Everyone used the public kitchen and crowded together.
Compared with those in the alleys, the conditions here were still good.
"You Zhou Paopi, are you here to drink again?" A hearty voice came over.
Then Liu Qingshan saw a middle-aged man, who looked less than 60 years old, very energetic, wearing an old man's shirt, slippers, and waving a big cattail leaf fan in his hand.
"Who else should I eat if not you, a one-eared man? You got more than 10,000 yuan in royalties, which is even more than moving hamsters. Sooner or later, I will ask Black Cat Sheriff to catch you."
Old Man Zhou was talking about the royalties he was talking about. After the Black Cat Sheriff cartoon was released, it was printed into comic strips and sold, and Director Dai earned more than 20,000 yuan in royalties.
As a result, the original author was not happy after seeing this and directly sued Director Dai in court.
Finally, the two sides reached a settlement outside the court, and Director Dai compensated the original author with part of the money, and everyone was happy.
"You."
Director Dai pointed at his old friend with his finger. If someone else mentioned this, he would definitely get angry.
They entered Director Dai's small house together. The area was not large, and there were not many furnishings in the house. Some trophies and certificates were placed and hung in the more conspicuous places on the cabinets and walls.
"This is Comrade Xiao Liu, Liu Qingshan, who is also engaged in animation. He has a company in the island country." Zhou Lao began to introduce.
Liu Qingshan quickly handed the things he brought to an aunt, and then shook hands with Director Dai: "Hello, Mr. Dai, this is the fourth and fifth child in my family. I like to watch your Black Cat Sheriff the most!"
"What's old? I'm not even sixty."
Director Dai waved his hand, then looked at the two little girls happily, and asked his wife to bring them candy. He has always been very enthusiastic towards his little fans.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Old Man Zhou got to the point: "Old Dai, Comrade Xiao Liu's animation company is also preparing to produce cartoons. We would like to invite you to come out. Your salary will be doubled, and there will be bonuses."
Director Dai's eyes flashed. In fact, he really didn't have enough work.
Especially the famous work Black Cat Sheriff, which was stopped after only five episodes. This was the biggest knot in his heart.
As for money, it was secondary.
"Xiao Liu, what is the scale of your company now?" Director Dai was obviously tempted.
Liu Qingshan blinked and did not hide it: "Our company has just been established. It is still a grass-roots team. At present, there are only two studios. Two comic works are serialized in the island country. In terms of animation production, it is still blank."
Is that so? Director Dai leaned back on the sofa, and a trace of disappointment flashed across his face: You are not even a grass-roots team. You are basically penniless.
Then I heard Liu Qingshan continue to say: "However, our company's two comics are currently developing well, and have earned more than 200 million yen so far."
"The subsequent ability to attract money will definitely become stronger and stronger. The company has sufficient funds, but it lacks professional talents like Director Dai to help us build a framework."
More than 200 million yen?
This number made Director Dai stand up from the sofa suddenly: "It's easy if I have money. I can pull out a team of hundreds of people by planning to retire from this building!"
"And each of them has their own duties, and they are all experts. Just say whether you dare to take it?"
"Yes!"
The answer to his voice was crisp, and it was Xiao Lao Si and Shan Xing who expressed their opinions together.
Liu Qingshan also raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously: these two little girls are also small shareholders of Qingshan Animation.

The gloomy sky was gray and black, revealing a heavy depression, as if someone had splashed ink on rice paper, and the ink soaked the sky and smudged the clouds.
The clouds overlapped and blended with each other, diffusing crimson lightning, accompanied by rumbling thunder.
It was like the roar of gods, echoing in the world.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim red blood rain.
The city was in ruins, everything was withered, collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, and blue-black corpses and pieces of meat were seen everywhere, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.
The streets that were bustling in the past are now bleak.
The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy at this moment.
Only blood mud mixed with minced meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fluff had long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie weirdness.
The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, looking at the mottled stones in front of them alone.
There, a figure was lying.
This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, swept through his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about 70 feet away from him, and occasionally vigilantly observed the surroundings.
It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, it would instantly take off at the slightest movement.
