Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 325: With hundreds of millions of people, new business!

"There is Xia Lan in the front, and there is "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way" in the back. One is 3D and the other is 2D. Our mystery is in danger."

"Alas, Xia Lan has already used one generation of modeling and special effects to crush Qin Shimingyue to the ground."

"Today's "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way" is coming with a fierce force, using a 2D + 3D fusion method, and beating Qin Shi again. Our Qin Shi has become third!"

"Third? You are so optimistic!" Director Guan sighed with a sad expression: "If this continues, within one year, Qin Shi will fall out of the top five, and within two years, Qin Shi will not be among the top ten!"

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

Within a year, he fell out of the top five!

Within two years, he fell out of the top ten!
For a moment, everyone in the room was stunned and in disbelief.

Some people couldn't help but said: "Director Guan, aren't your words a bit alarmist?"

"That's right, although our Qin Shi doesn't have much production funds. The special effects, picture quality, and modeling are far behind Xia Lan and Mo Dao Zu Shi, but we were also the peak of national comics. How could we fall out of the top ten? Are you kidding me!"

"Alarmist?"

The vice president's face changed drastically, and he spoke slowly: "With Dong Wang's rich and arrogant style, he will definitely make these popular online articles into animations, and they will all be S-level productions, with special effects and modeling that are a generation ahead of "Qin Shi". And it will be broadcast in an annual format!”

Everyone is envious and jealous of Xuanji!
Some people are even thinking about changing jobs!
Director Guan took a deep breath: "Mr. Shen has analyzed the pros and cons thoroughly. I support giving up Youku and joining Xingyi Media. Moreover, Director Wang has thought about recruiting us before. We have wanted to cooperate with Youku for many years, so we declined. But Who would have thought that we have sacrificed so much, but Youku has not been able to help us, and the production funds have been delayed again and again. The next season of "Qin Shi Mingyue" has to be delayed again and again, and everyone is following the northwest wind. "

It requires tens of millions of dollars for a movie, the most exquisite modeling, and the highest special effects. It costs money to die!

"In terms of the production team, Ruo Sen has extraordinary strength and was acquired by Xingyi Technology. The Xingyi animation team built by Xingyi Technology itself is also terrifying. Everyone has seen the sophistication of "The Master of the Demonic Way", 2D style + 3D special effects , not ordinary."

When Xuan Ji was first established, it was supported by Youku, so it has always been a Youku company.

Xuanji boss Shen Qianshan frowned and sighed repeatedly:
"Director Guan is right. If this continues, we will not be a match for Xingyi Animation at all. If we need money, Xingyi Technology has plenty of money. If we need IP, Xingyi Animation has Meiyou Novel Network. There is no shortage of high-quality IP, and from Qidian has acquired so many SSS-level hot-selling IPs, and there is no shortage of them.”

Just look at Ruo Sen’s situation.

"joke?"

Hearing this, the whole room fell into silence again.

Thinking hard!
This is not alarmist.

Including the first few seasons of Qin Shi Mingyue, all of them were invested by Youku and broadcast exclusively on Youku. The relationship between the two parties is not generally close.

For a time, everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

This is no ordinary pit!
If it continues to follow Youku, "Qin Shi Mingyue" will fall from the peak of Chinese comics and fall into the top ten of Chinese comics. Xuanji will also fall out of the top five from the top spot in domestic animation!

"Our Xuanji is no match for Xingyi Animation, not even Station B, or even Aiyouteng."

There is also Xingyi mobile phone as support, so there is no need to worry!

No matter how you think about it, it will be better to join Xingyi Technology.

Everyone in the room was silent.

Xuanji wanted to increase funding, but Youku refused. Even normal production funds have been delayed again and again.

The future is worrying.

With Wang Yi's style, this will definitely be the case.

If you want a platform, Xingyi Video’s own platform has terrifying traffic and a bright future.

"This……"

Without comparison, there is no harm.

"These popular online texts are extremely popular, and Xingyi Technology is willing to spend money on production costs. Let alone our mystery, I am afraid that Station B, the two-dimensional base camp, will be overwhelmed by Xingyi Animation and Xingyi Video platform instead.”

"That's right, Ruo Sen was not as good as us originally. Now Ruo Sen's employees, with the same position, get three times as much salary as us! The year-end bonus is five times as much as ours!"

"I also agree that joining Xingyi Technology is Xuanji's way out, and it is also our way out."

"Our only way out is to give up Youku completely and join Xingyi Technology! Even if we are acquired!"

"It's over! It's really over!"

"If you want a platform, the number of paid members of Xingyi Video has exceeded 20 million. It is developing rapidly. It is only a matter of time before it crushes Aiyouteng!"

But once you join Xingyi Technology, it will be great.

"How do you beat this kind of opponent? You can't beat him, you can't beat him!"

But now, Youku is too weak.

Changing one’s ways is no small matter!

If you want IP, there are many IPs.

The remake of Xia Lan became a hit all over the internet. Ruo Sen gained both fame and fortune, as well as year-end bonuses.

"Yes, I must join Xingyi Technology. I love doing animation, but my job is to support my family, not to do charity with Youku."

Ruo Sen was almost unable to uncover the truth at first, but after joining Xingyi Technology, he instantly became the top brother of Guoman Production Company.

You must know that the year-end bonuses of ordinary Ruosen employees exceed those of Xuanji’s management!

Director Guan smiled: "You should know that Xingyi Media recently acquired "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", "Tomb Robbery Notes", "Zhu Xian", "Mortal Cultivation of Immortality", "Fight to Break the Sphere", "Cover the Sky", "Fighting" There are a large number of high-quality IP copyrights such as "Luo Dalu", "Swallowing the Starry Sky", "Qing Yu Nian", "Jian Ye" and so on. What do you think Mr. Wang wants to do with these copyrights?"

"Shit! If that's the case, our Mystery's "Qin Shi Mingyue" is still ranked third? It really fell out of the top five in one year and out of the top ten in two years!"

People are not killed for their own sake.

Previously, Xuanji refused Xingyi Technology's high-paying offer for the sake of Youku, but Youku tricked them badly.

The film was not given more funding, and it also disliked the lack of mystery. It was crushed by "Xia Lan" and the year-end bonus was at the bottom.

Although there is no concept of PUA these days, the mystery is also chilling.

Only a few people couldn't help but said: "But our Xuanji's masterpiece is "Qin Shi Mingyue". The copyrights of the previous seasons are all with Youku. Once it goes to Xingyi Technology, "Qin Shi Mingyue" will be useless."

"This..." Everyone was silent.

Regarding "Qin Shi Mingyue", I cannot say that I have no emotions.

But following Youku's path to the dark side is even more miserable.

Director Guan sighed: "The situation will open up a bit. If you join Xingyi Technology, you may indeed lose "Qin Shi Mingyue", but Director Wang has more high-quality IP. We can ask for two, or even three, and directly make three explosive movies. payment!"

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up:
"Yes, "Qin Shi" is gone, but there are still "Fights Breaking the Sphere" and "Douluo Dalu". If we make these two hit movies, it will be no problem to crush "Xia Lan"!"

"That's right, these two online novels are more famous than Qin Shi Mingyue, and they have complete plots. We just followed them and filmed them. It's not difficult!"

"And Qin Shi Mingyue... Alas, Mr. Wen only finished the first draft of the second part and died young. The remaining parts from the third to the eighth only have partial outlines. We all have to perfect it ourselves, which is very difficult."

"More importantly, we have made too many changes to the original work. We have overturned and expanded the story, plot, and characters. The subsequent outlines are basically useless. It is equivalent to starting from scratch. The workload is terrible!"

"Yes, it would be much easier to adapt Internet articles such as "Douluo Dalu". Just follow the original work."

"I think it will work. If you give up Qin Shi Mingyue, you can have an infinite future."

"And Qin Shi Mingyue doesn't necessarily need to give up. If Director Wang is willing to spend some money, he can still buy back the copyrights of the previous movies from Youku."

"That makes sense. If that's the case, we can continue to make Qin Shi Mingyue, or even remake the previous ones!"

"In short, there is no harm in joining Xingyi Media!"

"Fuck Youku, Xingyi Technology is better!"

Seeing that no one had any objections, Shen Qianshan and Director Guan looked at each other and immediately made the decision: "It's settled then, we'll book the tickets now and leave for the imperial capital tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

"Everyone, please go back to sleep and have a good rest. Stop the work at hand for a while and take two days off to wait for news from us."

Shen Qianshan said with a smile: "If everything goes well, we will start making a new animation next!"

Although the copyright of Qin Shi Mingyue and Xuanji have been purchased, the first three animations and the fourth currently being produced have been signed to Youku, so they can only be broadcast exclusively on Youku. Naturally, Wang Yi will not invest money.

Therefore, Xuanji has to open a new episode.

This is also the reason why Xuanji in the past life has made many new animations, but there has been no sequel to "Qin Shi Mingyue" for a long time. Copyright issues!
It was not until Goose Factory bought back the copyright that a new work was released.

Early the next morning, Wang Yi came to Xingyi Technology Park and went straight to Xingyi Animation Department.

Seeing Wang Yi's arrival, everyone stopped what they were doing.

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "The animation "The Master of Demons" has had a very successful start. I hope you will continue to keep up the good work and keep up the good work. If you maintain the current level, your department's performance this year will also be S-level!"

"Thank you, Chairman!"

A group of people are excited. With S-level performance, they hope to receive a six-month year-end bonus, which is a full half-year's salary!
Is this offensive?

For performance, you have to live!

"But one thing to note is to be loyal to the original work and don't make any changes. The original work party is a double-edged sword. If you follow the original work, the original work party will support it. Local modifications are fine, but once the changes go too far and ruin the original work, the original work party will backfire. It’s unimaginable.”

"Yes!"

"We remember!"

Everyone responded one after another and remembered it firmly.

Wang Yi knows very well that many dramas destroy the original works, causing the characters to collapse, the plot to collapse, and even the entire episode to collapse!
The reason is that many screenwriters or directors feel that they are better than the original author. They feel that the original author's writing is not as good as his magical modifications, and as a result, the original work is ruined.

As for the magic reform that has been very successful, it is not impossible, but it is rare.

For example, the first season of "Yuan Long" is much more exciting than the original work, and it became famous in one fight. But the change collapsed in the second season...

There is also the anime adaptation of "Cang Yuan Tu", which was so successful that it directly made it a god!

In the previous life, Wang Yi, an uncle in his thirties, was very excited to watch.

But unfortunately, most screenwriters and directors don't have such strength, so they might as well stay true to the original work.

Especially for popular Internet articles, it is too risky to modify them. If you are not careful, you can be scolded by the original author and become a hot search topic.

What's more, the outline and character design of "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way" are hits that have been verified by the market in previous lives. To put it bluntly, as long as you follow it and make it, it will become a hit!

If there is a problem with the magic reform and it becomes unpopular, then there will be no difficulty and no difficulty.

However, "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way" does not have many words, with a total of about 35 episodes. It cannot be made into a series with hundreds of episodes like "Douluo Dalu".

If this kind of short animation is broadcast all at once, the effect will be average.

Once it is broadcast, the subsequent impact will be weak and it will become outdated.

It is better to divide it into three seasons and broadcast it in three to four years like the previous life. In this way, the heat can be maintained for three or four years to maximize the effect!

The first season has fifteen episodes, with three episodes in the first episode and one episode per week thereafter, for a total of thirteen weeks, more than three months.

As for the second season, let’s wait until next year.

But as a result, the Xingyi Animation team is free!
We have to arrange a new 2D animation series for Xingyi Animation to succeed "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way"!
From now on, Ruosen will focus on 3D animation, and Xingyi Animation will focus on the integration of 2D animation + 3D special effects.

Both teams have their own strengths.

Just looking for some 2D anime?
Wang Yi fell into deep thought and began to recall the popular 2D Chinese comics in his previous life.

In the field of 3D animation, Guoman is far ahead.

But in the field of 2D animation, Chinese comics are almost in trouble. There are not many high-quality 2D Chinese comics. Wang Yi was impressed by a few of them:
"Under One Person", "Fox Demon Little Matchmaker", "Five Elements in the Mist Mountain", "One Thought of Eternity", "Five or Six Thousand Assassins"...

"Under One Man" is very good. It was adapted from a comic book. It was only serialized a few years later. It would have been difficult to make it in advance.

Because the update has not been completed, Wang Yi does not know the follow-up plot.

The same is true for "Five Elements in the Mist Mountain". Wang Yi only remembers that it was very burning, but he can't remember the specific plot...

The novel "One Thought of Eternity" has not been updated yet...

"Assassin Wu Liuqi" has not started to be updated yet, and it will take time to complete it.

The only problem is that the modeling level in 2012 is so ugly!

Not only the modeling in "Xia Lan" is ugly, but the previous seasons of Qin Shi Mingyue are also ugly.

The current aesthetic is like this, it’s impossible to look at it.

I wish Wang Yi wanted to draw a few models himself and give them a look, thereby improving their overall modeling level!

However, Wang Yi's painting skills are average, and he only briefly learned a little bit when he was a child.

Unlike the post-10 generation, art tutoring classes, piano tutoring classes, taekwondo, programming, robotics, Mathematical Olympiad... have been popularized since childhood.

When Wang Yi was a child, only children in urban areas attended tabloid tutoring classes, while children in county towns only took individual classes.

Those born in the 80s and 90s are not so busy, and most of their children are on their own.

Unlike those born after 10 years old, parents need help with homework. All kinds of homework have to be completed for the children every week, and even many parents don't know how to...

It can be said that parents in their 80s and 90s are all lucky. They have no idea how difficult it is to raise a child these days, so they always rush to get married and have children.

In order to improve the team's modeling aesthetic level, Wang Yi thought about simply learning from Lin Shu when he had time, and then drew a few models to give Ruo Sen and others a sample, so that they would know what really good modeling looked like. Improve the overall level!
There is no way, the modeling level in 2012 is N generations worse than ten years later.

Lin Shu is the type who has enrolled in painting classes since he was a child. Although he is not a major, he is still very good and has won provincial awards.

When "Xia Lan" came out, Lin Shu drew several female protagonists.

That level of lifelikeness makes him worthy of being an original painter.

As long as the modeling level of Wakamori and other teams improves, in the future animations such as "Under One Person" and "Assassin Wu Liuqi" can be reproduced in advance and then made into animations!

But this all takes time.

On the contrary, "Fox Demon Little Matchmaker" can be straightened out!
Wang Yi remembers that the comic "Fox Demon Little Matchmaker" was published around 2012!
I don’t know if it’s out now. If it is out, you can dig it out directly or buy out the copyright!
Thinking of this, Wang Yi asked Xingyi's animation department to keep up their efforts, then returned to the office, opened his notebook, and searched: ""Fox Demon Little Matchmaker"."

But unfortunately, I couldn't find it.

"Is it possible that it hasn't come out yet?"

Later, Wang Yi searched for the original author Hu Xiaoxin.

Also not found.

No, Hu Xiaoxin is the pen name he took after changing jobs. Since "Fox Fairy Matchmaker" hasn't been released yet, that's not the pen name.

Wang Yi continued to search: "You are evil" and opened the website of Youyou.

After searching for a while, my eyes finally lit up: "The Fox Training Manual is written by Snow Flower!"

"Yes, it's this comic."

Wang Yi finally figured everything out.

In 2010, Hu Xiaoxin serialized "Fox Training Manual" in Youyaoqi under the pen name "Xue Hua".

The "Fox Training Manual" is exactly the script of "Fox Fairy Matchmaker".

In 2012, Hu Xiaoxin was invited to jump to a new platform and re-create "Fox Demon Matchmaker" based on "Fox Training Manual".

Everything is right.

Just poach Hu Xiaoxin and let him create the "Fox Demon Little Matchmaker" based on the "Fox Training Manual".

The follow-up Xingyi animation will be made into animation based on the comics!

perfect!

Thinking of this, Wang Yi quickly called Gu Qing.

"Chairman, you are looking for me." Gu Qing said with a smile, knowing that he was coming again: "Should I sign a star or buy the copyright?"

Wang Yi waved his hand and showed the notebook to Gu Qing: "I am very optimistic about this comic, or in other words, this author. You contact the other party and invite him to come to Xingyi Comics for serialization!"

"Okay, Chairman, I'll go right away." Gu Qing left quickly, and suddenly thought of another question: "Chairman, our Xingyi Comics hasn't been established yet, right?"

Wang Yi was speechless for a moment: "..."

Yes, Meiyou Novel Network has been established a long time ago. It mainly focuses on female videos, but of course it also has male videos.

But the comic platform hasn’t done it yet!
The comics of "The Patriarch of the Demonic Way" were drawn by the Xingyi Animation team themselves and were not published on the animation platform.

Wang Yi waved his hand: "Now that we have it, let Ye Changpeng establish Xingyi Animation immediately!"

"No, you go there again and ask them if they want to sell it. If they are willing to sell it and the price is right, we will buy it with full capital. If the price is not right, forget it."

"Okay, Chairman, I'll go right away."

With Gu Qing in charge of these matters, Wang Yi doesn't have to discuss them one by one in person, he can just take charge of the overall situation.

Youyaoqi is an original comic website. "One Hundred Thousand Cold Jokes" and "Zhenhun Street" are all from Youyouqi.

Youyaoqi originally developed well, but then it went into recession. The main creative team left and changed hands several times. Around 2020, it was acquired by Bilibili for 6 million.

After that, Youyaoqi was discontinued and merged into Bilibili Comics.

If everything goes well, Wang Yi wouldn't mind spending some money to acquire Youyouqi and create Xingyi comics.

With a talented editorial team and original cartoonists, as well as Wang Yi’s investment, Xingyi Comics can rise rapidly.

Coupled with Xingyi Animation and Xingyi Video, it can completely become an industrial chain: original comic IP - animation incubation - Xingyi Video broadcast + satellite TV broadcast!

Or coupled with Meiyou Novels, Xingyi Media has become the second industrial chain: hot novel IP - comic incubation - animation incubation - film and television IP adaptation - Xingyi video broadcast + satellite TV broadcast!

One-stop industrial chain, perfect closed loop!

This matter can be fixed completely.

Of course, the premise is that the price is not high if there is evil spirit.

In the previous life, it was sold for 6 million many years ago. Now the Yaoqi has just grown, and it is estimated to be only or million. Wang Yi can win it with his eyes closed.

If the asking price is too high, it makes no sense.

Just poach Hu Xiaoxin, sign the contract, and recreate "Fox Fairy Matchmaker".

Then recruit editors, pay heavily to attract comic authors, and build your own comic platform.

It can be said that the development of Xingyi comics will be faster if you have Youyao Qi, but it doesn't matter if you don't have it.

It will be time to see how things develop.

In the afternoon, Wang Yi was bored and was about to go home to learn painting from Lin Shu. Jian Ziyan suddenly came over:

"Chairman, Xuanji President Shen Qianshan and Chief Director Guan Dao are here and want to see you."

"Are they coming?" Wang Yi smiled: "Haha, Xuanji is so stimulated by the animation of Ruo Sen and Xing Yi, I can't bear it anymore!"

Last time Wang Yi sent Jian Ziyan to fully acquire Xuanji, they declined politely. Now, aren't they actively asking for the acquisition?

Wang Yi laughed dumbly. In the face of absolute strength, everything was in vain.

However, Wang Yi would not refuse.

Just one Ruo Sen can make Xingyi Media huge profits. If you add a mystery, it will be invincible!
It just so happens that there are so many high-quality IPs in hand, all of which are new, and Ruosen is too busy.

There is no way, "Xia Lan" is already a new movie, and Ruo Sen's main staff are working on "Xia Lan".

Although we have recruited many people before, they are all currently being trained. Recently, at most, one new year series will be launched.

If you want to advance three movies at the same time, it will have to be in the second half of the year, or even at the end of the year.

Now that we have the secret, it will be easy, and we can promote two new series.

In this way, Xingyi Animation will be invincible, and Xingyi Video can also crit Bilibili.

"Let them come in." Wang Yi waved his hand.

Those who are good at making money for themselves will naturally not turn them away.

Soon, the two were invited to the reception room.

Looking at Wang Yi who was calm and gentle, Shen Qianshan had a complicated look on his face.

I have worked hard for most of my life, and I am not as wonderful as others for more than ten years!

There's no comparison, there's really no comparison!

"Dr. Wang, I have admired his name for a long time. Today I finally met him. It is a blessing for me and Lao Guan." Shen Qianshan said with a smile.

Director Guan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, to be honest, we have wanted to join you, Mr. Wang, for a long time, but we couldn't let go of Qin Shimingyue. Alas, the first few movies of Qin Shimingyue were invested by Youku, so naturally they were all signed to Youku. Including the latest fourth installment.”

Wang Yi smiled slightly: "It's okay. It's great that you are willing to join Xingyi Media! As for Qin Shimingyue, I will send someone to communicate with Youku later to see if we can buy it back. If possible, we will invest money and remake the latest The fourth part, and the first three parts!”

"The first three parts will also be reset?"

Shen Qianshan and Director Guan were both excited. Isn't this too arrogant?

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, thank you!"
