You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 220 Principal Yang is such a good person
"Our company is willing to invest five million to set up a student fund to reward students with excellent academic performance and poor families." Qin Shaoyan said sincerely, "Although the money is not much, this is also my heart."

"Five million is already a lot." Principal Yang said with emotion, "Thank you Xiao Qin for your strong support for education."

"Do you have any specific requirements for this scholarship fund?"

"There are no special requirements. The school can set the specific rules." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Of course, I have a small request. I don't know if the school can satisfy me."

Principal Yang smiled knowingly, just ask for it.

Donations to schools usually come with some purpose. It would be strange if Qin Shaoyan didn't ask for it.

Principal Yang said with a smile: "Please tell me, as long as it does not break the law or violate the school's regulations, we will fully satisfy you."

Qin Shaoyan pondered for a moment, "In addition to the scholarship fund, I also plan to set up several outstanding works awards to reward outstanding student works, such as the Golden Brush Award and the Golden Lens Award."

"I have learned about our university. There are many students' works that are quite good. Unfortunately, due to limited conditions, there is no good display platform."

"As for me, I recently set up a new website where I can upload videos and share them with other Internet users."

"This website already has nearly one million registered users, and 300,000 people watch it online every day."

Since the 1990s, my country's animation industry has continued to decline, with a large loss of talent and a loss of its former glory.

Qin Shaoyan attracted these students to register in order to cultivate a group of high-quality content creators.

"However, our school will not force students to upload their own works, but will allow students to voluntarily choose whether to upload their own works."

“Their main content is created and uploaded by users themselves, and then shared with each other.”

In 2003, among the 730 channels monitored by CCTV's ratings survey agency Suofuri Media Research Co., Ltd., only 1 mainland channels broadcast cartoons for more than one hour.

However, it is not because of the benefits of the animation industry that we intend to make money. On the contrary, the prospects of the animation industry are not getting better and better, but getting worse and worse.

Principal Yang nodded slightly, "The school will cooperate with this matter."

"I have some ideas." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "I'm going to do some low-cost animation works."

It is no wonder that Principal Yang misunderstood, because in 2004, the Radio and Television issued "Several Opinions on the Development of my country's Film and Television Animation Industry."

Qin Shaoyan really wants to cultivate a group of animation talents, which can be regarded as a talent reserve.

"Thank you very much, Principal Yang." Qin Shaoyan solemnly thanked him.

Principal Yang frowned and thought for a moment, "This is a very novel idea. Using the Internet as a carrier is a bit like multimedia teaching."

Qin Shaoyan readily agreed, "Don't worry, we will set up a special area to display the works of outstanding students."

Students majoring in film, television, and animation know some professional techniques, have a lot of spare time, and coupled with their youthful imagination, they may be able to create some popular abstract works.

Faced with this situation, the opinions issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television have given the sluggish animation industry a shot in the arm.

"These are all caused by the chaos and disorder caused by the early development of new things." Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly, "Of course these situations are temporary, and the future is still bright. I believe that with the development of the economy and the improvement of intellectual property protection, Internet platforms will also be formalized.”

"One more thing, I have to trouble Principal Yang." Qin Shaoyan said solemnly, "I want to start a project with the school to discover and train a group of outstanding animation professionals."

"In addition, we will also give some material rewards based on the popularity of the work."

"Kuaibo is also very popular in China. It will develop into a very large platform in the future and can be used as a good carrier to spread works."

Principal Yang sighed, "That's the case now. I know that there are many pirated movies and TV series on the Internet, and many teachers and students watch them on the Internet."

"That's no problem." Qin Shaoyan said immediately, "Our website creation is very free. Uploading and deletion are all based on the user's personal wishes."

Principal Yang pondered for a few seconds and said, "The policies are indeed favorable now. All animation graduates next year have already found jobs, so we should wait until next year."

"Don't worry about this. Talent development doesn't happen overnight." Qin Shaoyan smiled.

It can be said that quality and output have both declined.

"I think we can encourage students in our school to put their works on it so that users can appreciate them and let more people see their excellent works."

"Absolutely." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "Now that the Internet is developing at a rapid pace, new things are born every day. We also expect that computers will become another platform for disseminating film and television besides movies and TV."

In the late 1990s, due to the development of technology, digital production replaced manual drawing, and with the reform of the domestic enterprise system, a large number of European, American, and Japanese animations were introduced to China. Compared with domestic animation, domestic animation has many shortcomings, and the output Not enough either.

Qin Shaoyan continued: "Of course, we at Kuaibo.com will try our best to improve the rules and protect students' intellectual property rights. The copyright of the uploaded works belongs to the individual users."

"Yes, our newly created website is also the first video website in China, called Kuaibo." Qin Shaoyan introduced, "The concept of video websites is very popular around the world. There is a video website called YouTube in the United States. It has accumulated millions of users in North America and Europe.”

Faced with the wave of imported animation, Summit concentrated its efforts on a big move and launched a classic animated film "The Lotus Lantern" in 1999.

Then there is no more then.

Last year, preliminary statistics on the total output of domestic cartoons were about 29000 minutes, more than half of which were "Blue Cat Naughty Questions" produced by Hunan Sanchen Film Studio.

"I just hope that the school can help us promote the Qvod.com platform so that students can choose it voluntarily."

Principal Yang waved his hand, "Mr. Qin is too polite. I hope Qvod.com can support our students' works more."

Principal Yang nodded, "Your suggestion is indeed a good one. Upload students' works to the Internet so that more people can see it. It allows students to have a platform to showcase themselves and see the audience's feedback."

Principal Yang was startled, "Your company is also planning to enter the animation industry."

"Eh?!" Principal Yang was a little surprised, "Video website?!"

Many people feel that the animation industry is facing the best development opportunity in the history of the country, and the spring of the animation industry is here.

Principal Yang smiled and said nothing. Not to mention that the Internet does not respect intellectual property rights, even TV stations that have been developing regulations for many years have not respected it.

This is also simple, just make a random classification. Popular works will naturally be highly recommended, and those that are not popular will have no choice but to apologize.

In the opinion, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television made clear requirements: CCTV Children’s Channel should increase the proportion of domestic cartoons broadcast.

Children's channels established by provincial TV stations and sub-provincial city TV stations have been approved to appropriately increase the number of domestic cartoons broadcast.

In addition, all municipal TV stations should actively launch animation columns, create animation time slots, expand the number of cartoons broadcast, and the number of domestic cartoons broadcast every quarter should not be less than 60%.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has also stipulated the broadcast period of cartoons and granted certain preferential "policies".

凡播出电影、电视剧的频道在17：00至19：00播出30分钟国产动画片，可在黄金时段增加播30秒广告。而播出60分钟或60分钟以上国产动画片的频道，可在黄金时段增加播60秒广告。

Of course, another eye-catching item in the opinion is that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has stated that it will relax market access conditions and study and formulate plans to encourage the non-public economy to enter the film, television and animation industry.

Those private animation production institutions with "good reputation and standardized operations" may enjoy the same treatment as state-owned animation production institutions in terms of relevant policies. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television also stated that it can explore a new model of corporate management of animation channels.

Within two months after the opinions were issued, more than a dozen domestic and foreign private capitals have invested in China's original animation field with large-scale funds. The scope and types of investments are unprecedented.

Stimulated by the good news, there has been a boom in the industry, and animation talents are in short supply.

There are many industries that have nothing to do with animation that have emerged, and they are ready to cross-border to build the animation industry, and make money on the way.

But whether it is to make money or to cheat is a matter of opinion. Of course, Qin Shaoyan is not doing these things, he is sincerely cultivating a group of animation talents.

In addition to animation, these talents can also play a role in advertising media, the Internet, graphic design, and games.

In addition to recruiting animation talents, we plan to produce some original animations and provide them to game companies.

Qin Shaoyan quickly reached an agreement with Principal Yang. He would come to the school to recruit students in the name of the company every year, and the school would also recommend a group of outstanding students to him.

Both parties were very satisfied with this cooperation, and the atmosphere of the conversation became very harmonious.

Principal Yang hesitated for a moment, then suddenly interjected, "Mr. Qin, you are the boss of that campus network, right?"

"I am the CEO of Campus Network." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.

"Then you can make the decision regarding the campus network?" Principal Yang asked.

"Of course." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "Does Principal Yang need help from our campus network for anything?"

"It's a bit hard to talk about it." Principal Yang smiled awkwardly, "But it concerns the students, so I have no choice but to put aside this old face and come to beg you, Xiao Qin."

"Principal Yang is serious." Qin Shaoyan was a little curious, "What is it?"

"Your campus network has organized some kind of international summer camp, right?" Principal Yang pondered for two seconds, "I heard that a group of outstanding college students will be selected to study and exchange abroad."

"I also heard that this project is in cooperation with the United Nations. Is this true?"

"It's true." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "Our project is co-organized with Facebook in the United States and has the support of the United Nations."

“The last stop of the international summer camp is to be invited by the United Nations to the United Nations Headquarters in New York to participate in the World Youth Representatives Summit.”

"Mr. Qin is so powerful that he can even establish a relationship with the United Nations." Principal Yang exclaimed, "What are your rules for selecting outstanding college students?"

Qin Shaoyan immediately replied: "First register online on campus, and then select a group of candidates through a lottery audition."

"Finally, a review committee composed of education experts and celebrities will vote and select the students based on their comprehensive qualities."

"The selected students must be excellent in both character and study, with first-class quality and good morals. Only in this way can the excellent image of Huaxia University students be better demonstrated to the world."

Principal Yang asked tentatively: "How are the candidates who finally enter the review stage determined? Will different places be allocated according to different schools?"

"Of course, good schools will allocate more places." Qin Shaoyan nodded.

"Then...can you allocate a few more places to our school?" Principal Yang rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "My request is a bit presumptuous."

Qin Shaoyan had a hesitant look on his face and remained silent for a long time.

Principal Yang saw that Qin Shaoyan seemed to be in a difficult situation, so he sighed, "My request is indeed a bit too much. If it's inconvenient, forget it."

Qu Bingbing, who was sitting next to him, was a little anxious when he saw this, and quickly pushed Qin Shaoyan, "Can you please have a word with me?"

"Well." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "The principle is not enough, but..."

Principal Yang was overjoyed. As long as he failed, it meant there was something going on. However, the other party's tone was obviously conditional.

Qin Shaoyan said with a serious face: "Please keep the promises I made to Principal Yang secret. I won't admit that I said it outside this door."

"Of course, we will never talk about this matter everywhere." Principal Yang quickly promised.

"Then add one more...two more places to the school." Qin Shaoyan hesitated and raised two fingers.

"Two is too few, please add a few more." Principal Yang was still not satisfied and tried hard, "Please add a few more."

"Xiao Qin, you are no stranger to our school, right?"

"There is a lot of cooperation between us, right?"

Principal Yang gave full play to his stalking tactics and wanted to deduct a few more places from Qin Shaoyan.

One more spot means one more chance of winning.

"The number of candidate students is not important. What is important is the number of places that can be included in the final list." Qin Shaoyan smiled, "I can't decide the number of places in the final selection, but I can leave one more judge position for the school."

Principal Yang was stunned for a moment, and then felt ecstatic in his heart.

Compared with the qualifications of the judges, the number of candidate students is less important.

But Principal Yang soon understood that if the other party gives you such a big benefit, he will definitely ask for something in return.

"You have helped the school so much. I thank you on behalf of the teachers and students of the school." Principal Yang said with a smile, "Xiao Qin, if you need me for anything, just ask, and I will do my best to help." You can do it.”

Qin Shaoyan thought for a while, then laughed, "I really have a troublesome matter that I need your help with, Principal Yang."

"You said."

"It's still about Qvod.com. We want to buy the rights to a batch of domestic film and television dramas." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "But I'm not familiar with the film and television industry and have little contact. I would like to ask Principal Yang for help. Can you contact us? Let’s talk about this relationship.”

Principal Yang agreed without hesitation: "This matter will be taken care of by me. I will contact you for you."

"Then I'll trouble you, Principal Yang." Qin Shaoyan stretched out his hand and shook Principal Yang's hand.

After coming out of the office building, Qin Shaoyan became energetic. Even Qu Bingbing could see that Qin Shaoyan was in a happy mood.

"Why are you so happy?" Qu Bingbing asked curiously.

"Principal Yang is a good person." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile.

"Good person?" Qu Bingbing was a little confused, what kind of logic is this.

"Principal Yang agreed to help me, of course he is a good person." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "It's not easy."

The purpose of Qin Shaoyan's visit this time was not only to donate money and build relationships, but the most important thing was the last thing he discussed with Principal Yang, which was to purchase the copyright of film and television dramas for Qvod.com.

The reason why he is happy is not because Qin Shaoyan is aware of copyright, but because he wants to build relationships with the film and television industry through this matter.

Qin Shaoyan was throwing money and giving quotas, so he definitely didn't really want to support education.

Principal Yang was also very efficient in handling matters. He quickly helped Qin Shaoyan contact a family and informed Qin Shaoyan through Qu Bingbing.

"Hairun Film and Television?" Qin Shaoyan asked in surprise, "Are you sure it's this company?"

Qu Bingbing was a little surprised, "Yes, it's this one."

"Any questions?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Principal Yang is such a good person."
