Actually I just want to act

Chapter 643 Difficult to raise money
"Manrou is accompanying me to start a business!"

Gu Hongye said proudly, "Although I keep a low profile in school, Manrou knows what I'm doing, and she supports me very much! Sometimes, she even helps me make suggestions."

Fang Jiming saw it early on, Bai Mantou... oh no, that girl Bai Manrou has a deep scheming mind, she has targeted Gu Hongye's family background to catch a wealthy son-in-law from the very beginning.Of course, maybe I really like it or not.After all, no matter how you say it, Gu Hongye is still handsome.In terms of the pursuit of appearance, men and women are actually the same, who doesn't like good-looking opposite sex?
In front of Gu Hongye, it's hard to talk about his girlfriend, Fang Jiming smiled and said, "Since you want to burn money, why don't you go for financing?"

"I looked for it, but many people don't like our website."

Gu Hongye smiled wryly, "Because the number of users is not too large, it is not enough for a small website to have many users!"

Of course Fang Jiming knew what was going on, the main problem was the repeated registration.A small website, in order to obtain financing, treats repeated registered users as independent users, saying that its number of users is several million.In fact, such a website can have millions of users - a million-level server costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a month!
Although, with the advancement of technology, server leases are getting cheaper and cheaper, but it is not easy to find a profit model. If you can’t get financing, just rely on the website to earn the advertising fee, which is barely enough to maintain the leased server .

Bilibili is different. Although there are not many comic fans, and the number of current users is only close to 200 million, there are very few repeated registrations.Coupled with the drainage from Feixun, these comic fans are also willing to pay to read genuine comics.Although paying users only account for less than 10%, it is enough for Bilibili to take on the important task of breaking even.With the addition of some advertising fees or something, I can live a decent life.

After all, a completed comic is priced at 20 yuan, even if it is a neon comic, it only costs 50 yuan.Compared with buying physical books, this price is really cheap!
Therefore, it is normal to attract a large number of users.

Most importantly, under Fang Jiming's suggestion, Bilibili has created a new model - divided into two types of contracted painters on the website and freelance painters.As for the signed artist, Bilibili will discuss with the artist that the user can read all the comics for how much money they pay, and it is also written in the contract that if the artist cannot continue to create due to personal subjective or objective reasons, the website can find someone to continue. painting.

And freelance painters, that is, painters who have not signed a contract, can set their own charges for comics.For example, start charging from the first chapter, and see how much it costs to complete the book.Of course, it can't be more than 20 yuan at all.

Although this mode has given some artists a channel to increase sales, there is also a scoring system, which basically cannot be fooled by the website editorial team.

As for the neon comics that have won the copyright, in addition to paying to read the full version, the serialized ones can only be watched for a fee per episode. Years, hundreds of chapters of neon comics, it is also very expensive.But manga fans are willing to buy even expensive figurines, so what is the money for reading manga!
Such a model can actually support a comic website, which Gu Hongye himself could not have imagined.

But what Gu Hongye didn't expect was that the Oriental Chinese website under Oriental Dreamworks had even more terrifying income!
It is almost the same operating model, but because the number of users reaches tens of millions and the proportion of paying users exceeds 10%, the profit is quite considerable.The most important thing is that many excellent scripts have been born, and some film and television companies have to come to discuss with Dongfang Chinese Network in order to buy scripts.

No, after a script is sold, the author earns income, and the website also earns income, killing two birds with one stone.

The most important thing is that the premise of signing the contract to sell the script is that the filming company must complete the filming and release within the specified number of years, otherwise, it will not be an exclusive authorization.Moreover, it must be filmed according to the script. If the script is changed, it must be discussed with the author himself.If violated, the exclusive authorization is also lost.

This is the harsh clause stipulated by Dongfang Chinese Network in order to protect itself. The original intention is also to stop the bad habit of directors and producers who modify the script without restraint.

You know, the script is the soul of a film and television work. Even if the soul is modified, or if it is a big change, how can this film and television work be better?
Bilibili does not have the same copyright income as Dongfang Chinese Network for the time being. After all, Guoman is not very popular yet.

The most important thing is to report it to the parents!
Think about how many excellent Chinese comics were destroyed in the hands of parents in the previous life!

Just like blaming Internet companies for developing online games, many parents hate "cartoon" to the bone.

In my previous life, there was an excellent Chinese manga - "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit". This cartoon's chivalrous tenderness and the portrayal of the love between the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes are quite good in depicting the spirit of ancient Chinese chivalrous men. Not only children like it Look, some young people like it too.Let's just say that, a certain valve score is as high as 9.5!At that time, more than 500 TV stations broadcast it simultaneously, and the supporting series sold 1500 million copies!

For Guoman, this is an opportunity to rise!

However, because some parents hated that this cartoon made their children not want to study, and even had signs of puppy love, so they wrote to report, so many TV stations banned it-except for a few TV stations that had finished broadcasting a long time ago, this is also Many people regret their childhood.Therefore, the growth path of Bilibili is still too difficult.

In China, there is a fixed thinking that cartoons are for children to watch.

As everyone knows, in foreign countries, animation is universal, and some animations even have age ratings!

Fang Jiming thought about it carefully, and said: "The matter of financing should not be too urgent. Let's see if we can animate the comics, just like the neon comics industry. But this is a systematic matter. It has just started, and we There is not much money to burn. I can inject capital, but this will dilute your equity! I think it is better to get as much financing as possible.”

Gu Hongye smiled wryly: "Animation is known to make money, but it's really expensive!"

Fang Jiming suddenly thought: "Why don't you draw a cartoon yourself? Then make it into an animation."

"I draw?"

Gu Hongye was a little surprised.

Fang Jiming said seriously: "If it's other people's comics, there are too many things to do, but I have a theme that can make you a world-renowned master of comics. Especially after it is made into animation, it will definitely become popular all over the world. .”

Gu Hongye didn't believe it: "There are such cartoons?"

"That's right, there are such cartoons." Fang Jiming said confidently, "You just say whether you draw or not?"
