MTL - My Animation Era-Chapter 713 Oscar nominations (seeking subscription)
Chapter 713 Oscar nominations (for subscription)
Huang Kun asked a high price.
After all, in his mind, the animation "Super Beast Armor" is his most proud work so far.
Because of this, he does not want to sell the first-round broadcast rights of "Super Beast Armed Forces" at a low price, but will try his best to strive for a high price that is worthy of the quality of the work.
Of course, that's what it says...
Considering the average purchase price of domestic animation, it is generally very low, and some even give money to TV stations in order to be broadcast on stars.
So Huang Kun's request is still too harsh for many TV channels, especially children's channels whose advertising revenue is not high enough.
Have a cold knowledge!
Since the establishment of Wanbao Animation, domestic animation has experienced two rounds of “price cuts”.
The first round of price cuts originated from the dimensionality reduction attack of the animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".
Because Pleasant Goat is sold cheaply, the rebroadcast cycle is long, and the ratings can still occupy the forefront, causing other animation works to have to follow suit, and they cannot be sold without price reduction.
The second round of price cuts is mainly due to policy changes. The government has come forward to subsidize the animation production industry vigorously, and the support subsidies given are very attractive.
The most exaggerated time.
Some shameless and unprogressive animation companies have already written "eating subsidies to earn state money" into their business plans even before producing an animation work.
Affected by this, the price of TV broadcast rights for many domestic animations is almost cheaper than cabbage...
Fortunately!
The official probably also realized that relying on such "forced blood transfusion" to support the domestic animation industry will not work at all. Doing so can only cultivate a bunch of waste who don't want to make progress, and whose mud can't support the wall.
So since the end of last year, the corresponding support subsidies have been reduced a lot.
But the problem remains the same.
The animation "Super Beast Armed Forces" is difficult to sell at a price that satisfies Huang Kun in this context.
Gu Miao tried her best to talk.
He made an appointment with the people in charge of film purchases of more than a dozen TV stations and chatted about it.
Probably because his face is very useful, seven or eight TV stations have expressed that they are willing to see Gu Miao's face and increase the price of the animation "Super Beast Armed Forces".
Among them, Shonan Children's Channel and Kuka Children's Channel, which have a close cooperation with Wanbao Animation and can even be called "brothers in love", accepted Huang Kun's offer.
But they also have requirements.
The premise of high premium is to give Gu Miao and Wanbao face on the one hand.
On the other hand, they also believed Gu Miao and Huang Kun's words, thinking that the second half of the second season of "Super Beast Armed Forces" will be a magical development, detonating public opinion across the Internet.
But what if you get cheated?
In business, you have to plan ahead.
Even if everyone knows that it is impossible to tell such a lie with the scale of Wanbao, one has to be prepared for everything.
So Shonan Children's Channel and Kuka Children's Channel requested that if the ratings of the second season of "Super Beast Armed Forces" were below a certain threshold, Gu Miao's "Bear Infested" had to be sold to them at a low price as compensation.
"OK! No problem!"
This is not a serious bet, it is nothing more than a private agreement between several parties, and Gu Miao agreed without thinking about it.
He is very confident in "Super Beast Armed Forces", and similarly, he can understand 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 Armed" project is really not as simple as they thought!
…
Tuesday, January 20.
It is the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, 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 have holidays one after another, and the streets and alleys are full of children running around.
The just-concluded Wanbao·2015 Jiangchuan Animation and Game Carnival greatly shocked Liu Xing.
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.
The original animation broadcast on TV seems to be only a few minutes, but when making it, the workload is calculated by "frame", and each frame is so beautiful.
It's just amazing!
No wonder the animation "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.
"Excellent, 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 animation "Tom and Jerry"! Who would have thought that the first episode would be nominated for an Oscar?
"pity…"
When he thought of an animation like "Tom and Jerry", the first episode was only more than eight minutes long, and there was no news about the second episode, Liu Xing couldn't help but want to curse.
This update is too weak.
Wanbao can’t learn from friends and make two episodes a day? If it really doesn’t work, one episode a day, or even one episode a week is also acceptable!
Liu Xing, who was getting more and more frustrated, 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 savor it again.
An animation like this art level, no matter how many times you watch it, you won’t feel tired.
It's a pity that he changed more than a dozen children's and cartoon channels in a row, but he still couldn't find the rebroadcast of "Tom and Jerry".
Even the first season of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" 530, such an old-fashioned animation has reruns, but there is no "Tom and Jerry".
Embarrassed!
Just when Liu Xing felt very disappointed and was about to turn off the TV and go out to play with the mouse and keyboard, suddenly a cartoon clip he had never seen appeared on the TV screen.
"Super beast armed!"
"Phantom Lin Beast!"
In the picture, the boy in red armor swung a fist, the ground suddenly glowed with red light, the strange totem raised light spots, and a red mecha-style monster suddenly appeared.
"Super beast armed!"
"Dragon War Beast!"
On the other side, the boy in blue armor also summoned the exclusive super beast god, but his totem appeared in the sky.
"Cool!"
Excellent 3D modeling, as well as sharp mecha design, let Liu Xing enjoy watching it.
What animation is this?
Before he could ask a question, he heard a sudden impassioned narration from the TV: "This winter vacation, together with the Super Beast Warrior, go to the parallel universe to save the world!"
"January 22, see you there!"
The screen goes dark.
The huge "Super Beast Armed Forces" icon logo appeared on the TV screen, finally letting Liu Xing know the name of this animation.
"Will it be broadcast the day after tomorrow?"
"Super beast armament? It feels quite interesting! I just don't know, is it as good as "Guobao Special Attack"?"
Liu Xing was very interested in the so-called "Super Beast Armed Forces", so he wrote down the premiere date and planned to watch it when the time came.
