I Have Achieved A Lot

The members of Damei Studio are mainly students from Gome and those who have just graduated. After more than a year of development, the studio is no longer the previous studio, but the staff The configuration ratio is still the same, but a group of well-known painters and designers in the industry have also been added. The Gome students working in the studio are basically equivalent to working and following these experts for secondary learning.

Academy school theory combined with actual combat school experience, the speed of growth of the Gome students who entered Damei Studio is very amazing, and of course the business of Damei Studio is synchronized with this growth.

The list of many government agencies in Hangzhou and even Zhejiang Province, plus the list of websites such as Penguin Animation and 8 Stations, plus the list of a large number of film and television companies that started in October last year. The business volume has already reached the tens of millions level, and it is basically no problem to reach the 50 million level by the middle of the new year. The rapid development momentum is definitely one of the very best in the industry.

In the beginning, Qin Jiao established Damei Studio just because there was a policy to support the rent and the rent was not expensive. I wanted to set up a studio to solve some of the student employment and internship problems. It is enough to ensure that the housing is rented to these students to earn some money by themselves. Didn’t expect has grown to the current scale.

Among these, Meng Fan’s role is undoubtedly, Meng Caiwei’s role is also not small-it has drawn a lot of orders from film and television companies, and the support of the school and the unit is not small. Of course, the most important thing is excellent business ability. Otherwise, no matter how good the external conditions are, it is impossible to have such a good development now. This thing about human relations is very useful, but if it is used too much, it will not be of much use.

Currently, Damei Studio has three main businesses. One is advertising, including publicity posters for government agencies, film and television companies and television stations, and commercial advertisements; the other is illustration, which has always been the main business. Web texts also include web comic reforms; the third is animation, which has outsourced the work of artists in many animation studios, including Shanhai Animation of course.

After New Year’s Day in 21, the studio has expanded its fourth business, which is comics.

This is actually not so much a business as a “career”. In the short term, there is definitely no way to make money. The operation mode of the animation department of Damei Studio is similar to that of most comic studios. The contract is even to collect comic works or to help promote it to major platforms. Unlike most comic studios, Damei Studio will sign the contract. After the work, no matter whether the work can be “raised” or not, the first thing is to ensure the creator’s working environment and life needs.

To put it bluntly, I want to “raise” authors, and prepare to “raise” a large number of them, and even plan to raise a group of niche cartoonists who are difficult to create profits but the animation industry needs to exist.

This manga department is also linked to the “Shanhai Animation Scholarship” established by Meng Fan in addition to Gome. The cartoonists who sign the contract will receive part of the scholarship.

Of course, in the long run, this comics department will definitely make money in the future. After all, there is a large traffic like Meng Fan to help promote it, and there are that many cooperation platforms. As long as there are good works, no Worry will not break out.

Furthermore, there is such a business volume, plus the two Bosses Qin Jiao and Meng Fan are conscientious. The income of the members is naturally impossible, even if they come here part-time. The amount of money earned by animation students in a month can be worth a month’s expenses-the expenses of the students of the Academy of Fine Arts are really a lot.

At the end of the year, the members all got a lot of year-end bonuses and a red envelope, and the pay during overtime was five times that of normally. Although it was not until the 28th of the New Year’s Eve, it did not. People complained, and even a few took the initiative to stay in Hangzhou to celebrate the New Year, in case the animation awards are in need.

The situation at Shanhai Animation Studio is the same. The difference is that Shanhai Animation has not been able to make a real profit so far. Although the first season of “Underground Spirit” sold quite well, it invested It’s really not low, this animation wants to recover the cost still depends on the later operation.

As for the studio so far, apart from the sale of “Underground Spirit”, everything else has been invested and reinvested. It is basically impossible to make a profit, and a lot of cooperation and implantation will continue. Invest.

However, the studio is not panicking at all. According to the current situation and development trend, the profitable time can be seen, and it is only waiting for the cost-intensive animation to be completed.

For the current studio, it is accumulation. In addition to accumulating a large number of works, it also accumulates reputation. It only waits for accumulation and thin hair, no, it is an explosion.

……

“You are finally back!”

The sleepy master received Meng Fan from Neon at the airport along the way When I complained, I also told Meng Fan about some of the past few days animation awards in the past few days.

Meng Fan went to Neon on New Year’s 22. There is no way. Although Takahashi at Kodansha has invited some great gods to Meng Fan, some of them still need Meng Fan to come out.

Don’t say that, although Takahashi is a senior editor of Kodansha, he has pushed many cartoonists and works out, and he is also a well-known figure in the neon animation world, but he is not as good as Meng Fan. .

Firstly, although Meng Fan’s work “The Strange Man in the Mountains and Seas” has landed in Neon for only a year, its popularity has completely opened up. Although the circulation of serialized magazines is not very large because of the increased number of comics. It is also a miracle of the waning comics. The key is to click on the Internet, praise, and the release and sales of the pamphlet too terrifying. The neon version of the pamphlet of “The Strange Man in the Mountains” has been released to the tenth volume, and the sales volume has exceeded 10 million. Among them, the sales volume of the first volume was absolutely invincible during the same period. Although the peak value is not as good as the few booklets issued by OP, none of the OP’s booklets has exceeded the first book this year.

Secondly, Meng Fan’s personal fame is too great, and the judo competition in the Olympics has pushed his reputation in neon to Peak.

Meng Fan mainly did three things when he went to Neon this time. One was the one-line book signing, and the other was to communicate with Neon Rou Fellow Daoist. Both of these things were in Neon Judo Holy Land neon Martial Dao Pavilion held. A lot of judo athletes came when signing for the pamphlet, and a lot of fascination during the judo exchanges. The Neon Martial Dao Hall was full of seats in those two days.

During the judo exchange, Meng Fan did the third thing by the way, which is to invite those anime guys who are ready to invite to participate in the animation awards to “watch the ceremony” and exchange the judo, and then send out the invitation The success rate is naturally much larger. Of course, the various cooperations after participating in the animation awards are the fundamental reason for the ultimate success.
