Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 110 The target is crooked
Originally, when "Gundam" was broadcast, even the internal staff of Shenlong Animation, which produced the animation itself, were not optimistic about this animation. After all, the popularity of the comics lies there!
And the cost of "Gundam" is so high that no one believes that it can recoup the cost, thinking that this is an animation that loses money and makes money.

However, the ratings of the animation exceeded everyone's imagination.

"How much? 63%?"

The first time he heard this number, Cai Zhizhong thought he heard it wrong.

"That's right! Mr. Cai, let me tell you, I really didn't expect the ratings of this animation to be so good!"

Ah Chan, who was dressed slovenly and looked like a programmer, said excitedly in Cai Zhizhong's office.

Judging from his excitement, it felt like he would have climbed to the roof if it weren't for the gravity of the earth.

At this time, he completely forgot about the dilemma when he had to leave. Instead, he regarded Shenlong Company as his own home and was truly happy for it.

Acan, who stayed behind, is still very capable and has made rapid progress. In just half a year, he has defeated several competitors and became the first editor of "Gundam". He has lived up to Li Wannian's trust in him.

Therefore, Acan has been holding his breath and wants to prove himself. Now that he sees that this animation he edited has been successful in the market, he feels that all the hardships have been rewarded. No wonder he is so happy.

“Have all the children on Hong Kong Island transitioned?”

Compared with Acan, Cai Zhizhong appears to be very calm.

Because he is confused!
"Mobile Suit Gundam" has always been a very unique comic in Two-dimensional magazine.

Although it is a work by Banzai, even readers know that the person really responsible for the painting is Zheng Jinwen.

Among them, the heroic painting style, huge world view and storyline made this work quite polarizing in Hong Kong Island.

People who like it like it very much, but people who don’t like it don’t watch it at all because they don’t understand it!After all, a large part of the people who buy comics today have not even graduated from high school!
Therefore, every time the magazine investigates the popularity, it is found that the popularity of "Gundam" is the lowest among several works, not even as good as the previous one "Chinese Little Chef".

After an internal analysis by the magazine, it was concluded that the comics audience in Hong Kong Island does not like science fiction.

Especially some readers with low education levels. They may like mechas, but they are immediately put off by the complicated world view.

Therefore, when it was announced that "Gundam" would be animated, Cai Zhizhong was very unfavorable and felt that it was a money-losing product, making money at a loss.

But because of Li Wannian's insistence, Cai Zhizhong could not object, and the trip finally took place.

Later, due to the opening of foreign markets, Cai Zhizhong thought that Li Wannian wanted to sell "Gundam" abroad, so that there would be greater hope of repaying the capital.

Unexpectedly, I still wanted to keep it simple.

Li Wannian, this is the rhythm I want!
I want markets in other places, and I want markets on Hong Kong Island!
What he just couldn't figure out was why no one read the comics, but so many people watched the animations?

"What are you talking about?"

Cai Zhizhong's office was pushed open, and Li Wannian walked in. The two of them stood up immediately after seeing it.

"Mr. Li, the collection rate of "Gundam" has reached 63%. This is the fourth work of our Shenlong Company to achieve a collection rate of 60%!"

Acan said excitedly to Li Wannian.

"What's so exciting about this? Which of our company's works can't reach 60%?"

As soon as Li Wannian said these words, Acan's smile suddenly froze.

Although what Mr. Li said was fine, why did it sound so awkward?
"Pfft!"

Zhong Chuhong, who was behind Li Wannian, accidentally laughed out loud.

Logically speaking, Zhong Chuhong would not laugh unless he couldn't help it.

After learning about the ratings of "Gundam" in the morning, Li Wannian hugged and kissed him happily at home. How could he look as confident as he does now?
"Mr. Li, you are busy, I will go and pour tea for you guys first!"

Upon seeing this, Acan wisely chose to leave.

Li Wannian turned around and glared at Zhong Chuhong, and then sat opposite Cai Zhizhong.

"Boss, why is the performance of the "Gundam" animation so much better than that of the comics?" "The audience groups are different. The audience group of animations will be more children. They can't afford comics. In addition, the animation's explanation of the plot is not as good as that of comics. The expressiveness is much stronger. Once a lot of words are put in, those people may feel dizzy, but if it becomes a voice actor to explain, then they will listen to it!"

"I see!"

Cai Zhizhong suddenly realized.

It just so happened that at this moment, Acan placed tea in front of Li Wannian.

"Thank you!" After Li Wannian thanked him, he changed the subject.

"When are you going to leave?"

"The flight is tomorrow morning!"

Cai Zhizhong is returning to Wanwan this time.

It has been two years since he came to Hong Kong Island. Although he is not married, he still spends less time with his parents at home.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he will take some of his employees back to Wanwan. As for the rest, they have to wait until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month before they can take a holiday!
Of course, the main reason why Cai Zhizhong returned to Wanwan so early was that he wanted to recruit people for Shenlong Animation and even Two-dimensional magazine.

As Shenlong Animation has successively launched various hit works, the company's reputation in the industry has also grown.

As the company's general manager, Cai Zhizhong's name is also known to more and more people in the industry.

Even the words "Wanwan's Light" appeared in Wanwan's newspaper to praise Cai Zhizhong.

Therefore, taking advantage of this shareholder trend, Li Wannian decided to let Cai Zhizhong return to his hometown in glory to see if he could bring the company's works into the Wanwan market and at the same time dig out some more Wanwan talents.

After all, compared to Hong Kong Island, which has a population of only more than 490 million, Wanwan, with a population of more than 1700 million, has more talents.

"Okay, I won't see you off tomorrow, have a nice trip!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Li Wannian raised his tea cup, replaced wine with tea, and sent Cai Zhi off on his long journey.

The reason why he didn't send it was simple: he couldn't get up in the morning.

"When you go on this trip, I'm not worried about recruiting people. What I'm mainly concerned about is, where are you going to start so that our animation can enter the crooked market?"

"Don't worry, boss, I've analyzed this, and we have to start with China Television!"

Currently, there are three major TV stations in Wanwan, namely: Wanwan Television Company (referred to as Taiwan TV), China Television Company (referred to as CTV) and China Television Company (referred to as China Television), which are often referred to as the "old three channels".

The three TV stations all have strong government backgrounds. Relatively speaking, China Television does not have an upper hand in ratings compared to the other two because of its educational attributes.

"Educational channel?"

After Cai Zhizhong's explanation, Li Wannian immediately noticed this keyword.

This word is so familiar!

"Yes, Phoenix TV and China Television have many similarities, so that's why I want to invite my colleagues from the TV station to join me on the journey!"

Cai Zhizhong explained.

"Have you told my brother about this?"

"Through the phone call, Mr. Li appointed Director Shi Nansheng to accompany me!"

Li Wannian felt relieved when he heard that the person who followed Cai Zhizhong was Shi Nansheng.

Regarding her abilities, Li Wannian, who knows the future, is very relieved. No one knows how powerful Shi Nansheng is better than him, including Tsui Hark!
