Reborn Tycoon Rise

After Wu Peng left, Xu Zhi took out a box of tin cans from the drawer, opened it, took out a little vinegar, put it into a cup, and then poured a little boiling water into it.

This was when the Shanghai Municipal Government learned that he liked tea, and specially arranged for someone to deliver the best Tieguanyin.

But this is still a waste. He doesn't like any tea. It's just that the last time he chatted with the president of Xinhua News Agency, there was a bit of silence, so he switched to "tea tasting".

It is estimated that the mainland government has files and records on rich people like them, and the "love to drink tea" is also included in the records.

Drinking the bitter tea of ​​his "favorite", Xu Zhi pondered. The history of Shanghai Art Film Studio was very glorious. Although there were some gaps in the 1970s, there was still no lack of a large number of outstanding people. These people were in the original Historically, you can only become a soldier of Japanese comics.

Now, he wants to publish classic Japanese comics from the 1980s and 1990s, which naturally requires the cooperation of a large number of elites.

Now is the best time to enter the comics market on a large scale. With his financial resources, he is already able to carry out formal negotiations with many Japanese comics distribution agencies, instead of creating a tens of billions of dollars industry like the Japanese cartoonists in history. Chain's work, only a small part of it was taken.

For example, the author of Dragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, can receive copyright dividends worth hundreds of millions of yuan every year in the 21st century, but compared to the entire Dragon Ball industry chain, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

These benefits are naturally great for ordinary people, but they are far from enough for capitalists.

Comics are not games, and they cannot be easily copied and succeeded. This requires a large number of professional talents, market understanding, channel resources, etc. Even if Xu Zhi, a time traveler, tells the story content to a group of ordinary cartoonists, it will be difficult for them to directly Copy the Japanese comic classics of later generations.

In order to improve the success rate, Xu Zhi has been slowly honing the skills of his painters in recent years.

Changxing Culture Company has basically been keeping a low profile. In terms of toys, Cabbage Patch Dolls have begun to become famous in the United States. However, it is not yet time to make profits, and the large amount of advertising investment is still a huge gold-swallowing beast.

As for comics, we have been updating "Soujinji" and "Crayon Shin-chan".

Among them, Sou Shen Ji has broken the comic record in Xiangjiang, with the highest sales volume of one issue exceeding 150,000 copies. At the same time, some Japanese cartoonists were invited to exchange and learn, and Sou Shen Ji was translated into Japanese and distributed through Japanese channels. , and also achieved good sales of 200,000 copies in the first issue.

"Crayon Shin-chan" is even more successful, with an average sales volume of more than 600,000 copies per issue, making it one of the favorite characters among Japanese children. Some Japanese children's toy and school supplies brand companies have begun to contact Changxing Company to discuss purchasing character portrait rights, and a Japanese TV station also intends to introduce "Crayon Shin-chan" to its animation channel.

This is the farthest step that Xiangjiang Comics has taken on the road of IP development. After several years of running in with the market, the development of Changxing Comics has begun to get on the right track.

However, there are still many difficulties. "Crayon Shin-chan" is actually very difficult to copy, because it is not a big plot story, but a single plot of a small section. Xu Zhi has not read all the content, not to mention Television and comics may not necessarily be the same originally. Therefore, the storyline of each episode had to be filled in manually. Fortunately, the company had prepared long enough before the release and had enough manuscripts. However, in order to fill in this simple content, I don’t know how many people’s hairlines were raised.

Similar stories include "Detective Conan", "Pokémon" and so on.

As for the follow-up, preparations for the upcoming comics have already begun, which also requires a large number of capable newcomers to join the alliance and prepare for the early release.

What's more, drawing cartoons is only the first step, and there will be the production of cartoons later, which requires a large number of cartoonists.

An anime episode, excluding the beginning and the end, usually lasts 20 minutes and 1,200 seconds. One second is usually 20 frames, which means 20 comics are needed, and a total of at least 24,000 comics are needed.

If in the computer age of later generations, software technology can still be used for rendering and copying, but this is not possible now, supercomputers may have this configuration capability, but let’s not talk about the price. The development of this kind of software alone is an astronomical cost. The cost of numbers.

Midea currently does not have this ability, and even if it does, it will not develop it. The emergence of every product in the computer age is determined by the computing power of the semiconductor at that time. Developing this kind of technology that is not in line with the times in advance will only lead to huge losses. , and it will also waste patent time.

If computers can't help, we have to rely on labor. The Chinese in Hong Kong or other areas do not have enough talent reserves in this area. Japan does have enough people, but the cost is too high. Otherwise, the later Shanghai Art Film Studio will also take over. There are not so many orders left.

Therefore, the mainland is the best choice. A large number of art majors graduate every year. These people are the best seedlings. Recruiting them can meet the company's needs for the number of personnel and can also find suitable training among them in the future. Object, as the new blood of the company.

But again, this is the 1980s, and these people will be assigned jobs as soon as they graduate. It is very difficult to recruit them in large numbers, so cooperation with state-owned enterprises has become the best way.

As for the rewards given to these mainland comic elites, they are just a drop in the bucket compared to the future benefits from the comics market. Anyway, houses in this era are super cheap, so just buy some for them.

Even these investments are just the beginning. In the future, the elites among this group of people will be sent to other countries for exchanges and learning to improve their abilities.

Of course, such people must give up their status as a state-owned enterprise and truly join Changxing Company.

While Xu Zhi was thinking, his parents and little sister pushed the door open and came in.

Xu Zhixiao asked: "How is it? Jing'an Temple is not bad."

After arriving in Shanghai, Xu Zhi also accompanied his family to visit several scenic places. However, after all, he had a lot of official business and could not run around all the time. Today, his parents and his younger sister went to Shanghai specifically. Go to the most famous Jing’an Temple in the city to worship Buddha.

Xu Yaxin said: "The scenery is not bad, but there are too many people."

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "That's natural. It's almost Chinese New Year, so there must be a lot of people coming to worship Buddha."

Xu Yaxin added: "We are going to Jiuqu Bridge and Huxin Pavilion tomorrow. Do you want to go?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "No, I won't be free tomorrow. I have made an appointment with the city's senior officials to meet tomorrow."

Through Wang Weide's communication, Xu Zhi will go to the city government in person tomorrow to discuss new cooperation.
