Chen Zigui could also see that Yin Jun really likes such fine cartoons.

As an administrator who has become an administrator, no matter how good a cartoon is, it should be linked to performance.

If Transformers weren't the most profitable project under Kirin Culture, I'm afraid not many people would have tolerated their production cost of 2 million episodes.

But Yin Jun felt it didn't matter.

This is not because Yin Jun is very rich, so he thinks it doesn't matter.

Chen Zigui is also a screenwriter. He understands very well that Yin Jun does not view "Transformers" with a manager's mentality, but rather a creator and a technician.

Of course, he will not feel like a waste of such an identity change, but will only feel that he is serious and exquisite. He is truly an elite animation production talent!

"They were originally going to apply for the production of "Slam Dunk", but they were eventually denied by the company." Chen Zigui turned to another topic, "The company thinks that it is better to use Japan's production level and work efficiency to make "Slam Dunk" well and take it out on time... After all, "Slam Dunk" has been published for two years, and if you don't take out cartoons, it's time for anime fans to smash the company's window."

"Slam Dunk" was published in September 1983 and has been around for 2 years so far.

According to the publication of about 30 pages per issue, it has now reached the stage of fighting against Xiangyang High School.

In terms of the plot, although it has only reached one-fifth, comic fans and anime fans don’t care about this. Since when "Slam Dunk" was just serialized two years ago, they strongly demanded that cartoons be released quickly, and they should watch and collect them! TV series and cartoons are also sold with videotapes, with high ratings and very good sales.

However, Qilin Culture has never been panicked, nor will it change its plans due to the strong demands of consumers. They do things in a very organized manner.

According to previous experience, the best time period for animation to be opened should be two years after the comic serialization, so that the progress can be almost one episode per week until three years later.

In this way, you can stop and wait for a year or two before starting the production again.

Based on this calculation, almost 10 years is enough for most of the comics to be completed.

Even if it is not finished, then you can do this program again.

There is nothing to do in the middle. They can make a series of extras or extras that everyone likes based on the plot of the comic.

For example, "Oolongyuan" has made an extra episode of about 20 episodes when two masters were young, and it is also very popular.

"Tomb Raider" also has the adventure story of the heroine Laura's father, a longer-term one.

These branch plots developed based on the main story will not only enrich the overall story, but also increase the fans' love.

Not to mention "Slam Dunk", Sendao, Yuzu, Fukatsu, Mori Shigekuan, etc. If you want to make extra chapters of "Slam Dunk", you can do at least a few hundred episodes.

Of course, this is the next thing, and it is still the main story of the Xiangbei Five.

Considering the plot development and production precision of "Slam Dunk", although Kirin Culture decided to start making cartoons since the beginning of this year, after a scramble between the Shanghai American Factory and Asahi Group, and the various preparations after the flowers fell into Asahi Group, they officially started the production process since June.

At this speed, when it starts broadcasting in February and March next year, there will be no many episodes left.

After all, even if Toei Animation has formed a working team of up to 70 people, it is impossible to achieve one episode a week.

If it were replaced by the animation group of Qilin Culture, I would probably be able to make one episode a month.

Yin Jun also felt that it was inappropriate.

After all, cartoons are commercial things, you can do them seriously, but you can't ignore the overall commercial promotion at all.

The cartoon that is one episode a month is lifeless.

Not to mention cartoons, even comics.

If the three major migrant workers’ comics and those super comics are not published once a week, can they have such a strong influence?

Therefore, it is still a very reliable and practical way to hand over "Slam Dunk" to Asahi Group.

Of course, the reason why the Kirin Culture animation team has not increased its speed is because computer production is not popular.

If there are ten years left, and when computer technology can reach the point of its previous life around 2010, then they can produce "Slam Dunk" and it can also reach the speed of one episode a week.

"Why, they still have the time to do other animations now?" After thinking, Yin Jun smiled, "Even the speed of "Transformers" can only be maintained at the level of two weeks and three episodes. Isn't it going to be busy with another cartoon?"

"Who said no?" Chen Zigui said, "They have 160 people, plus more than 100 assistant staff from the Academy of Fine Arts and trainees, and they have nearly 300 people. They have only made an animation... This is also the only department that has been ridiculed by our "Qilin Weekly"!"

"Qilin Weekly" now has nearly 800 formal employees, and there are more than 200 interns from the Academy of Fine Arts in Mainland China, and there are still 500 trainee assistants.

Such 1,600 people support the world's largest comic weekly and one of the most profitable companies in the world.

They are second only to X-companies like Kirin Games. They are a market of up to tens of billions of dollars with a scale of just one or two hundred people.

"Well, this efficiency should be improved a little." Yin Jun pondered for a moment, "Let's do we have a lot of myths and legends in China? You specially find more than ten screenwriters to organize these myths and stories, and then ask them to make animated short films. There is no need to do too many, five or seven episodes."

"So few? Can there be a seller's market?" Chen Zigui said in surprise.

Three or five episodes, seven or eight episodes of cartoons, usually they are sold in one transaction, and the price is not expensive.

But the production cost is not cheap.

"It doesn't matter to the seller's market. It's best to recover the cost. If it doesn't work, it's equivalent to popularizing myths and ancient culture." Yin Jun smiled, "The main thing is to practice their skills. So many people can't just focus on one animation, and the efficiency should be improved."

"Okay! I get it."

Only then did Chen Zigui realize that it was to temper them!

Should!

Who told you about 300 people who always procrastinate?

"As for the remaining cartoons..." Yin Jun then said, "Are there still a few cartoon factories in the mainland? Give them one to each factory and let them try it out, so it's best to cultivate it... After all, they are also their own people, and they are more reliable than Disney and Toei animation."

"The mainland is Jichun Film Studio and Huajing Science and Education Film Studio. Their animation team has communicated with us frequently in recent years. Now there are more than 80 artists and animators in Qilin Culture." Chen Zigui said, "If you want to do animation, they all have to go back. In this way, our manpower will be more tense in a short period of time."

"Can you overcome it?" Yin Jun asked directly.

"Yes." Chen Zigui said helplessly.

He originally wanted to sell the bad things and then let Jun Shao solve the problem of some recruitment quotas, but unexpectedly, Yin Jun was blocked back in just one sentence.

In "Qilin Weekly", more than 200 students from the Academy of Fine Arts and more than 500 trainee assistants are not formal Qilin Culture employees.

Needless to say, the Academy of Fine Arts is here to internships and hone their skills, and they are still students or just graduated. If they return to the mainland in the future, there will be arrangements.

Intern assistants are a new employment model, which is specifically designed for the animation industry with very high labor intensity and high elimination rate.

Only when they do not leave their jobs after two or three years and have good technical abilities, will Kirin Culture hire them.

In fact, the annual elimination rate of these intern assistants is generally above 30%, either because they cannot bear the pain or because they lack abilities.

The only thing that can be kept in three years is about 10%.

At the same time, they received only half of the money they received as ordinary employees, and there were no bonuses and dividends.

Even so, their salary can reach 6,000 yuan a month, but it is still too hard. Working more than 12 hours a day is the norm.

Without a department, you don’t want your department to have more people and more power.

Therefore, Qilin Weekly wants to give more excellent talents to better treat, but this kind of treatment must be officially started. Qilin Culture has stuck with the number of people hired, so they are not allowed to hire dozens or even hundreds of people in one go like before.

Now Yin Jun has no intention of expanding the scale anymore, Chen Zigui can only sigh sadly and wait for the next opportunity.

But compared to "Qilin Weekly", the animation teams of the two film studios in the mainland are really lucky.

Not only did they get dozens of elite employees who had been honed for a long time in Qilin Weekly, they also got the opportunity to produce an animation.

If you do well in a year, you can get tens of millions of yuan in production costs.

This money is definitely a very high income in the mainland!

Even if they cannot pose much threat to the US factory, if this continues to develop well, it is likely that the three-legged squad will be formed.

Chen Zigui is a smart person, and he knows that this is a plan that Yin Jun had long had.

Yin Jun deliberately told the mainland not to have only one animation production factory, but to have competition with each other.
Chapter completed!
