My Animation Era

Huang Kun asked for a high price.

After all, in his mind, the animation "Super Beast Arms" is his most proud work so far.

Because of this, he does not want to sell the first-round broadcast rights of "Super Beast Arms" at a low price, but will try his best to obtain a high price worthy of the quality of the work.

Of course, that's what it says...

Considering that the average purchase price of domestic animation is generally very low, some even pay money to TV stations in order to be broadcast on stars.

Therefore, Huang Kun's requirements are still too harsh for many TV channels, especially children's channels whose advertising revenue is not high enough.

There is a little trivia!

Since the establishment of Wanbao Animation, domestic animation has experienced two rounds of "price reduction waves."

The first wave of price cuts originated from the dimensionality reduction attack in the animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

Because Pleasant Goat sells cheaply, has a long replay cycle, and is still firmly at the forefront of ratings, other animated works have to follow suit and lower their prices. Without lowering prices, they cannot be sold.

The second wave of price cuts was mainly affected by policy changes. The government has come forward to vigorously subsidize the animation production industry, and the support subsidies provided are very attractive.

The most exaggerated time.

Some animation companies that are shameless and unprogressive have already written "earning state money by receiving subsidies" into their plans before producing an animation work.

Affected by this, the price of TV broadcast rights for many domestic animations is simply cheaper than cabbage...

fortunately!

The officials probably also realized that relying on such "forced blood transfusion" to support the domestic animation industry would simply not work. Doing this will only create a bunch of trash who don't want to make progress and can't support the wall with mud.

Therefore, since the end of last year, the corresponding support and subsidies have been reduced a lot.

But the problem remains the same.

Under this background, it is difficult to sell the animation "Super Beast Arms" at a price that satisfies Huang Kun.

Gu Miao tried her best to talk.

He made an appointment with the film purchasers of more than a dozen TV stations to talk about this matter.

Probably because his face is very useful, seven or eight TV stations have expressed their willingness to increase the price of the animation "Super Beast Arms" appropriately for Gu Miao's sake.

Among them, the Xiangnan Children's Channel and the Kuka Children's Channel, which have close cooperation with Wanbao Animation and can even be called "siblings", even accepted Huang Kun's offer.

But they also have requirements.

The premise of high premium is to give face to Gu Miao and face to Wanbao.

On the other hand, they also believe what Gu Miao and Huang Kun said and believe that the second half of "Super Beast Arms" will be a wonderful development that will arouse public opinion on the Internet.

But what if you are cheated?

When doing business, you have to plan ahead.

Even though everyone knows that with the scale of a company as large as Wanbao, it is unlikely to tell such a lie, but you must be prepared for everything.

Therefore, the Hunan Children's Channel and the Kuka Children's Channel requested that if the ratings of the second season of "Super Beast Arms" fall below a certain threshold, the "Bear Infestation" that Gu Miao is producing must be sold to them at a low price as compensation.

"OK! No problem!"

This was not a serious bet, it was just a private agreement between the parties. Gu Miao agreed without thinking.

He has great confidence in "Super Beast Arms", and he also understands the concerns of the TV station.

But there is one thing to say.

What the TV station is worried about is unlikely to happen, because the "Super Beast Arms" project is really not as simple as they thought!

…

Tuesday, January 20th.

It is the twelfth lunar month, and every household is immersed in the joy of the coming New Year. College students, high school students, junior high school students and elementary school students are on vacation one after another, and the streets and alleys are full of children running around.

The Wanbao·2015 Jiangchuan Animation and Game Carnival that just concluded not long ago gave Liu Xing a great shock.

Why?

Because at this animation and game carnival, Wanbao (North America) Branch brought a documentary telling the story of the birth of "Tom and Jerry".

It was after watching this documentary that he realized that animation creation is not easy.

It turns out that the animation broadcast on TV seems to last only a few minutes, but when it is produced, the workload is calculated in "frames", and every frame is so beautiful.

It’s simply amazing!

No wonder the animated "Tom and Jerry: Puss Gets the Boot" was nominated for Best Animated Short Film at the 87th Academy Awards, and he was stunned when he heard it.

"Awesome, Oscar!"

Although it was just a nomination, it was enough to shock Liu Xing and Liu Zida for a whole year.

do not forget!

According to Gu Sanshui, this is only the first episode of the animated "Tom and Jerry"! Who would have thought that the first episode would be nominated for an Oscar?

"pity……"

When thinking about an animation like "Tom and Jerry", the first episode is only more than eight minutes, and there is no news about the second episode, Liu Xing can't help but want to curse.

This update is too weak.

Can't Wanbao learn from its friends and make two episodes a day? If that doesn’t work, one episode a day or even one episode a week is acceptable!

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated Liu Xing became. He sighed like an adult, picked up the TV remote control, and planned to see if there was a replay of the first episode of "Tom and Jerry."

He wanted to relive it again.

An animation of this artistic quality will never get boring no matter how many times you watch it.

Unfortunately, he changed to more than a dozen children's and cartoon channels in succession, but still could not find a rerun of "Tom and Jerry".

Even the first season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" 530, such an antique animation, has been rerun, but there is no "Tom and Jerry".

Embarrassed!

Just when Liu Xing was feeling disappointed and was about to turn off the TV and go find a mouse and keyboard to play, suddenly a cartoon clip that he had never seen appeared on the TV screen.

"Super Beast Arms!"

"Phantom Lin Beast!"

In the picture, a young man in red armor punched out, the ground suddenly glowed with red light, strange totems rose up, and a red mecha-style monster suddenly appeared.

"Super Beast Arms!"

"Dragon War Beast!"

On the other side, the boy in blue armor also summoned his own Super Beast God, but his totem appeared in the sky.

"So cool!"

Liu Xing was fascinated by the excellent 3D modeling and sharp mecha design.

What animation is this?

Before he could ask any questions, an impassioned narration suddenly came from the TV: "This winter vacation, together with the Super Beast Warriors, go to the parallel universe to save the world!"

"See you there on January 22nd!"

The screen went dark.

The huge "Super Beast Arms" icon logo appeared on the TV screen, and Liu Xing finally knew the name of this animation.

"Will it be broadcast the day after tomorrow?"

"Super Beast Arms? It feels quite interesting! I just don't know if it's as good as "Fruit Attack"?"

Liu Xing was very interested in the so-called "Super Beast Arms", so he wrote down the premiere date and planned to watch it then.
