Hong Kong Comic Master

From the project establishment in early September to the official broadcast at the end of October, "Dragon and Tiger Gate" went through nearly two months of production.

Now that it is finally going to be aired, fans of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" have been waiting for it for a long time.

But in fact, the production of this animation was far more difficult than the audience imagined!

Since the independent animation companies on Hong Kong Island have become supernumerary organizations of DreamWorks, TVB has no choice but to focus on the three major animation companies on Hong Kong Island.

In the end, in the competition with DreamWorks, DreamWorks won two companies, Oriental Cartoon and Island Cartoon, while TVB won Hezong Cartoon.

So far, the three major animation companies in Hong Kong have been divided up by these two companies. The remaining small fish and shrimps do not even have the ability to independently produce a feature-length animation.

With the addition of Hezong Cartoon, the strength of TVB's animation department has undergone a qualitative change. The animation works produced are not only at the top of the industry, but at least the works produced are really animations and no longer PPT.

It was rare for Li Wannian to finish writing early today. He sat down in front of the TV at half past five and switched the channel to Jade Channel.

In its original time and space, "Dragon and Tiger Gate", as a representative of Hong Kong comics, has not been adapted into animation or film until 2006, when it was adapted into a movie.

Although it starred Zhen Zhuzi, Xie Tingfeng and other stars, it only received 12 million at the box office, ranking eighth on the Hong Kong Island annual box office list.

Now, because of Li Wannian's butterfly effect, this animation, which has never appeared in history, is finally born. Li Wannian is still quite curious in his heart.

So I wanted to find out.

Soon, the animation officially started.

The content of the first episode is very simple. It mainly talks about:

The protagonist Wang Xiaohu comes to Hong Kong from the mainland to search for his lost uncle. He meets the four young generals and become friends.

Later, he accidentally broke into a bun-grabbing competition for the oiran. In the competition, Wang Xiaohu won the victory and got the oiran. Little did he know that this competition was established by major gangster societies, and the token hidden in the oiran they competed for, Behind it is a huge unique product business worth 5 billion yuan.

As a result, Wang Xiaohu, who won the token, became the sniper target of major gangs.

Overall, the plot of the first episode is quite smooth, the picture quality is also exquisite, and you can tell that money was spent on it.

But the painting style of Longhumen is so rough that there is no so-called painting style collapse, because it is collapsed from beginning to end, and the martial arts movements are even more rigid. Watching their fight, Li Wannian can always think of that On a rainy day, I heard the words "Don't fight anymore"!

To be honest, Li Wannian never thought that Huang Yulang's alliance with TVB would cause any trouble for him and DreamWorks, but Li Wannian was still disappointed that the animation turned out like this.

Seeing Li Wannian turn off the TV with a sigh, Zhong Chuhong on the side said a little strangely: "What's wrong? Are they doing a good job?"

Zhong Chuhong doesn't like animation and hasn't watched it much since she was a child, so she doesn't understand the reason why Li Wannian sighed.

"It's nothing, I feel like I'm alone and seeking defeat!"

While speaking, Li Wannian looked at Zhong Chuhong and winked.

Zhong Chuhong immediately understood the meaning of Li Wannian's eyes, so he stood up and walked out the door. Li Wannian also stood up at the same time and said: "You guys draw first, Cherie and I will go out!"

The next moment the door closed, several assistants immediately gathered together and started chattering.

"Something weird!"

"There's something weird about this, he obviously has a leg!"

"What you said is very unpleasant. The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. How can we say they are having an affair?"

"Since it's a normal relationship, why not make it public?"

The suspicious behavior of Li Wannian and Zhong Chuhong in the past few days has already made several assistants aware of the clues. Even if Li Wannian and Zhong Chuhong cover it up, it will be difficult to cover it up.

"Why can't it be made public?"

At this time, Li Wannian, who was full of fragrant jade, looked at the beauty in his arms and said doubtfully.

"I don't want to be called a wealthy person. I'm quite content with it now!"

Zhong Chuhong lay quietly in Li Wannian's arms, feeling the breath of her lover.

Since Li Wannian released all the pent-up love in his heart, Zhong Chuhong no longer concealed his feelings and responded to Li Wannian enthusiastically.

Privately, the two of them were inseparable, as if their bodies had always been stuck together.

Seeing that Zhong Chuhong was now stubborn, Li Wannian did not insist. Anyway, there was no loss to him.

However, Li Wannian already had concerns in his mind:

"It seems that I have to buy a house, otherwise I would be too uncomfortable staying with these light bulbs!"

The ratings for the first episode of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" were released on the second day, and actually reached 35%. However, the ratings of Animation City dropped significantly, from about 60% to 51%, which almost fell. to below 50%.

Li Wannian never expected that an animation that he was not optimistic about would have such a big impact on the animation city.

After some analysis, he came to the conclusion that the children in Hong Kong Island have never had good food, and DreamWorks' works alone are not enough to keep them full.

As a result, animations like "Dragon and Tiger Gate" have a market.

"It seems that I have to keep up the good work!"

Li Wannian was not satisfied with the results of "Dragon and Tiger Gate", and neither were Huang Yulang and Fang Yihua.

Huang Yulang is still dissatisfied with the final presentation of the animation. In turn, Fang Yihua is also dissatisfied with the ratings of "Dragon and Tiger Gate".

I spent so much money and energy, but in the end, the ratings still couldn't catch up with the opponent. How can I compare?

"Your "Dragon Tiger Gate" is one of the three major comics in Hong Kong Island, but it can't even beat others' "Pokemon"!"

"That's because your animation production department is too bad. The animation you made is simply a pile of garbage!"

In the office, the two people's quarrels are inevitable, but after the quarrel, they still have to talk. What else can they do?

At present, the animation has only been broadcast for one episode. It is obviously a little early to declare it a failure.

What's more, neither Fang Yihua nor Huang Yulang will admit their failure. Since they have not failed, the project will continue to move forward.

"We have to pay more! We have to pay more! If we want to increase the ratings, the quality of the animation has to continue to improve!"

"I tell you, it's impossible! The TV station won't approve it. And I have to tell you that it's limited to ten episodes. If the ratings are still not good enough, the cost of the next animation will be further reduced!"

In the quarrel, the two announced a reprieve for the animation version of "Dragon Tiger Gate", and everything was waiting for the subsequent performance.

However, no matter which of them, they knew that this project had a bleak future.
