Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 100 Purchase Copyright
As "Astro Boy" continued to air, the ratings gradually stabilized, eventually settling at around 38%.

This is no wonder. Although the animation of "Astro Boy" is classic enough, it is an animation work from the 60s after all. The span of time makes the picture quality of this animation somewhat outdated.

In terms of picture quality, both "Pokémon" and "MasterChef" have surpassed the 70s and are more than one generation ahead of "Astro Boy".

In addition, although the ratings did not stabilize above 40%, which was somewhat disappointing within the wireless station, but by using less cost to create higher ratings, in comparison, it is indeed more cost-effective to buy animations.

On the other hand, Phoenix TV has invested a lot of money, but its ratings are only 10 percentage points higher than those of wireless stations, which is somewhat thankless.

Under this kind of self-comfort, wireless stations have officially embarked on the road of animation comprador.

The familiar Mercedes Benz SE300 slowly stopped at the entrance of Shenlong Animation Company.

After Zhong Chuhong parked the car, she walked out of the cab carrying a Chanel Classic Flap bag with interwoven leather and double C buckles.

This bag is a Christmas gift from Li Wannian to Zhong Chuhong. Zhong Chuhong likes it very much and has been carrying it around recently.

Since the two got together, although Zhong Chuhong has always asked Li Wannian not to give her anything, over time, Zhong Chuhong still got a lot from Li Wannian.

Li Wannian put his hands in his pockets and led Zhong Chuhong into the company.

Although today's Shenlong Animation Company still stays in this old office building, it has attracted the attention of the entire Hong Kong Island and even overseas.

The mountain is not high, it is famous if there are immortals, that's probably the case!

"Manager Cai, we have a great cooperation this time!"

“It’s a pleasure to cooperate with you and welcome Manager Li to come back in the future!”

When Li Wannian just walked upstairs, he happened to see Cai Zhizhong and someone walking out of the general manager's office, shaking hands and saying goodbye at the stairs.

"This is?"

"Boss? Let me introduce, this is..."

"Oh, you are Mr. Banzai, right? I have admired your name for a long time! I like your works best!"

Without waiting for Cai Zhizhong's introduction, Manager Li, who looked very young, quickly came to Li Wannian, held Li Wannian's right hand with both hands, and shook it up and down with excitement.

The man in front of him was less than 30 years old. He was handsome and had a slicked back hair. He looked like a business elite, but he gave Li Wannian the feeling that he was a bit careless.
Is it too much enthusiasm?
"You... hello?"

After shaking hands, Manager Li took out a comic book from his arms and said: "Long live teacher, I am your loyal reader, can you sign it for me?"

Good guy, I came prepared!

"No...no problem! What's your name?"

"Li Derong!"

Cai Zhizhong took a pen from the office, and Li Wannian signed his name on the "Death" comic in front of him and handed it to him again.

"Oh, thank you so much. This time I am going against all the opinions and cooperating with you guys because I am particularly optimistic about you! It's a pity that I didn't bring a camera with me today, otherwise I would have to take a photo with you!"

Even after taking over the comic, Li Derong kept talking and did not give Li Wannian a chance to talk back.

"Manager Li, our boss has something else to do, do you think?"

"Oops, sorry to bother you, sorry!"

After Cai Zhizhong's reminder, Li Derong finally came to his senses, apologized repeatedly, and left happily holding the comic book.

"Who is this guy?"

Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Li Wannian finally asked what he had always wanted to ask.

"He is Li Rongde, the deputy manager of Channel [-] of Lijiapo Radio and Television Station, and he is here to introduce cartoons! Boss, this is already the fourth country in Southeast Asia to introduce our cartoons!"

Cai Zhizhong was a little proud when he explained.Hong Kong Island has always been a bellwether for popular culture in Southeast Asia. As long as something is popular on Hong Kong Island, it will not be long before it spreads to the entire Southeast Asia. In the past, it was movies, music, TV series, etc., and now it is finally the turn of animation.

Ever since Shenlong Animation Company's animation was aired on Phoenix Channel in August, it immediately became popular throughout Hong Kong and was quickly noticed by TV stations in Southeast Asia.

However, because there were too few animated series and there was no precedent before, everyone kept waiting and watching until October, when finally a TV station was willing to take action.

The first one to make the move was Malaysia. Later, Thailand, Brunei and other countries also came to Hong Kong to purchase animation copyrights. Now it is Li Jiapo's turn.

Four of the 11 Southeast Asian countries have already come, and everything is developing for the better.

As for Channel 8, it was not a simple one. It later became MediaCorp Channel 80, becoming the first Chinese-language TV channel in Lijiapo to broadcast news and entertainment programs around the clock. Many familiar TV series in the [-]s came from this channel.

"Which anime did they buy?"

"I bought both "Pokémon" and "MasterChef", and even asked about "Reaper" and "Gundam", but I didn't let go!"

"Very good, well done!"

Li Wannian boasted casually and asked no more questions.

However, he didn't expect that these foreigners had such a keen sense of smell that they were already thinking about it even before his animation was finished!

"Are you all ready?"

"Of course!"

"Then take me to the screening room!"

Li Wannian didn't think too much about this matter. He had a more important thing to do today, which was that the first episode of "Death" had been completed. He came here today to check it out!

The employees in the company were naturally nervous to prepare for the arrival of the boss, especially since the boss was very professional and there was no chance for them to fool the boss.

Not long after Li Wannian sat in the screening room, the rough cut version of the first episode of "Death" began to play.

Soon after, Li Wannian finished watching the 20-minute first episode.

Overall, the content is almost exactly the same as the comics, and Li Wannian is quite satisfied with the picture quality. The only thing that dissatisfied Li Wannian is the dubbing.

"Currently it is difficult to find a large number of suitable professional voice actors in Hong Kong Island. Many voice actors are temporary guest actors and their professional abilities are not up to standard!"

At this time, Cai Zhizhong on the side saw what Li Wannian was dissatisfied with, so he quickly explained.

"Well, let's do this for now. It seems that the TV station training class must be implemented as soon as possible!"

"By the way, boss, are you also preparing the theme song this time?"

The first episode just now still has no opening or ending, so naturally there is no OP and ED.

"Well, it's already being recorded. When they finish recording, they will bring it to you!"

"Ok!"

After hearing what Li Wannian said, Cai Zhizhong did not ask any further questions.

Needless to say, the singer is from Moonlight Girls!
As long as Li Wannian's animation is concerned, this band will come to sing songs. Although Cai Zhizhong also knows that Li Wanyue is Li Wannian's sister, he doesn't need to be so doted on, right?

"How is the production of "Gundam" going?"

"It's still a little short of that. As you know, the first episode has more action scenes, so we have a few more original drawings!"

"Okay, hurry up! Try to air "Death" a week later!"

"I ASAP!"
