The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 166

The news of DreamWorks' acquisition of Tianhe Animation has not attracted the attention of the mainstream media, nor has it caused any repercussions in the film and television circles. Many film companies do not understand DreamWorks' operations.

After all, Tianhe Animation is heavily in debt. Although it once produced a high-quality animation, it didn't make any money. Instead, it dragged itself down with debts.

The mainstream domestic animation market, whether it is a TV station or an online video platform, is sub-supplied and serves the children's market. The profit and output value of this market are too small. The purchase prices of both TV stations and online platforms are very touching. Many animation companies have been reduced to Survive on state subsidies.

However, the growth rate is relatively high, and the large-scale youth and even adult-oriented animation market has been monopolized by American manga and Japanese manga. Since the 90s, the American manga industry has been embedded in the Hollywood industry, and its influence has been increasing day by day. Anime.

The quality of domestic non-sub-supplied animation works is a bit poor, you can’t compete with them, so increase your investment, but the network platforms and TV stations don’t buy it, the downstream of Meiman is the Hollywood industry, even if the animation products produced by them are not profitable, It can also rely on the downstream Hollywood industry to bring long-term benefits, and domestic animation cannot compare with it in any aspect.

Therefore, in the eyes of the circle, DreamWorks is obviously trying to penetrate the animation field, which is a typical example of random investment after riches, and it will be a film company that is dragged down by the so-called diversified development strategy.

However, other film companies are naturally happy to see that DreamWorks has gone astray. The movie box office market follows the number of screens. There are only a few popular schedules. Although it is still a cake that is still expanding rapidly, there are many people. If you eat it, others will naturally eat less.

"Fatal Identity" is not bad, it is a cold file in the Lunar New Year file, but it also caused Jianghe Culture to suffer a big loss. As a result, the next movie is scheduled for National Day, which not only makes Beijing Film's costume blockbuster "White-haired Witch" less A lot of money was collected, or a lot of money was lost, and it also caused "Heart Blossom Road" to airborne in the summer and robbed many film companies of cakes.

It's just two movies in theaters, and it's amazing. What DreamWorks will do next, I can't even think about it.

However, DreamWorks first completed a space sci-fi giant with a cost of 10 billion, and then "Source Code" announced that it would not be scheduled for the Spring Festival, and now it has started to go to the animation circle to play tickets. The colleagues breathed a sigh of relief.

The idea of ​​many film company bosses is to watch their own defeat.

Leaving aside the reaction in the circle, the news of Tianhe Animation's acquisition caused quite a stir in the animation circle.

In the largest acg community in China, posts about the acquisition of Tianhe Animation immediately appeared in the Guoman District and the General District.

"Tianhe Animation was acquired by DreamWorks!"

"My youth is coming to an end, who still remembers Wang Laogou's phrase about the rise of Guoman?"

"Tianhe Animation sold itself to DreamWorks, suspected of changing careers and started doing special effects"

"Tianhe animation is gone, so there is no more "Star God"?"

"I feel a little sad. Back then, I had crowdfunded the movie version of "Star God". I didn't expect Tianhe to come to an end."

The Guoman District, which has always been sparsely populated, was also hit by this news at this time, and many netizens were blown up.

[The newcomer asks weakly, which company is Tianhe Animation? ]
[Haven't heard of "Star God"?It was made by this company, but later the movie version hit the market, and in the past few years they have made "Magic Cat" for CCTV.]

[Isn't Dreamworks making movies?Why did you buy Tianhe Animation? ]
[I read in the news that there is a special effects company called Mo under DreamWorks. It is said that the two companies are going to merge to make special effects, right?It’s not that they’re going to make a cosmic blockbuster, the special effects work should be very heavy]

[However, I saw a marketing account on the Internet saying that DreamWorks is going to enter the animation industry]

[Chen Jingxing's movies are pretty good, does he want to make an animated movie?Then I am looking forward to it]
[How is it possible, he is a live-action film director making animation works, isn't that a crossover?It's just DreamWorks' diversification strategy, and you started making TV series even if you didn't watch it?Anyway, I'm not optimistic. This kind of film and television company can't produce good works if it engages in cross-border diversification. The so-called art industry has specialization, and a film company like him knows shit about animation. ]
[But DreamWorks is rich, how many billions did "Signal" make at the box office?I don’t expect anything else, I just wonder if DreamWorks can invest some money in the follow-up production of "Star God", at least give an ending]
[Upstairs is dreaming, which capitalist is so kind?And "Star God" doesn't make money in the first place, hasn't Tianhe already proved it?Even if the purchase price of animation on the Internet platform has increased in the past few years, your domestic animation itself is inherently inferior. It is impossible for the Internet platform to purchase domestic animation at the price of purchasing American animation, and no matter how rich the company is, it is impossible Do money-losing business]

[Actually, I can accept that it lowers the production cost. If the production cost is reduced, 1000 million yuan should be able to be produced, right?This price may not be a loss, to be honest, this cost is also one of the best in domestic animation]

[Farewell, let "Star God" stay in our memories with the best face. The rise of Guoman is a false proposition. In our country, the idea that animation is for children is too deep-rooted. In addition, there are American comics on top of it, and non-sub-supplied animations can't develop at all]

[Fuck!Quickly go to Weibo, DreamWorks official Weibo has posted that it will produce the second season of "Star God"!Chen Jingxing also confirmed on Weibo, and Tianhe animation director Wu Han also posted on Weibo]

[I just came back from Weibo. DreamWorks has really done a great job this time. They said that they have set up three animation projects. In addition to the second season of "Star God", there is also "Evolutionary 46 Billion Ensemble" and "Space Super Battleship", the name sounds a bit strange, but it is said that they are all teen anime]

[Really? !If it is true, I will announce that Chen Jingxing is my father! ]

[Upstairs, no need]
……

"There's no need to cram all these contents into one season." Chen Jingxing waved his hand and said.

Wu Han was stunned: "Director Chen, you mean that the second season of "Star God" is not the end?"

Chen Jingxing replied with a smile: "Of course, I think this animation still has a lot of potential to be tapped, why rush to finish it?"

The main content of "Star God" is a group of 5 partners, rushing out of the earth, going to the vast universe, looking for the relics of the star gods, also known as the treasures of the star gods. gem of power.

In short, in Chen Jingxing's view, it is full of visual sense, the art design of character creation has reached the first-class level, the picture is quite gorgeous, and the style of painting is very grand. The classic works in the film drown out the original high-quality animation IP of this plane.
