205 Make your own decisions
As the first domestic animation company, Xu Xing still has this aspect, so the other five first-tier companies don’t have to come over, just hold a video conference.
In the afternoon in Xing Tian’s conference room, Xu Xing connected with the bosses of five animation companies, namely Yan Junqing of Tianji, Li Ji of Yarrow Animation, Li Hao of Damn, Han Ming of Fantasy, and Guo Wei of Qinglianju.
"Mr. Xu, what's the matter with us?" Guo Wei asked.
To be honest, the bosses were not familiar with each other, and their relationship was only at the level of understanding. Li Ji even regarded Yan Junqing as his old enemy. This time, he could get people together so much, which was a meeting for the first time.
"That's right. You are all giants in the animation industry in China, so this time I want to discuss the subsequent development of Chinese animation together." Xu Xing said.
"What's the point of talking about like this? Isn't it better to do your own animation?" Li Ji said.
"It's okay for us to do our own animations well, but what about the back? Are there any animation companies that can keep up with them?" Xu Xing said lightly, explaining a fact: "Our Chinese comics industry is out of touch."
Several bosses who didn't care much about this also looked at them, because they knew that Xu Xing was right, and that Chinese comics were indeed out of touch, and more than this time.
Chinese comics had a brief period of gloriousness in the 1960s and 1980s and around the new millennium. They were like a beam of flames, burning strongly in the ruins and could be extinguished at any time.
Although the extinction of this flame and the changes in the policies of the superiors are the greatest responsibility, they should bear the blame, but we have to say a sad fact, that is, after the short peak period, the domestic animation industry has no successor, and the industrial chain has been destroyed by dimensionality reduction, and the new flame can only brew tenaciously in the ruins.
Every time I just had the opportunity to rise into a fire, I would be extinguished. However, I was reborn again and reincarnated several times. Now it can be said to be the best era of Chinese comics. The flames burned with all their energy again, and the wildfires were rushing.
However, that was just a bubble prosperous era created by leading companies. The downstream industrial chain was seriously insufficient, the animation was difficult to monetize, the number of employed people was huge, but there were insufficient positions. A newly established company would either starve to death or sell its capital unless the founder was particularly rich.
Some newly established companies even sell the copyright of the work to capital for the sake of funds in exchange for the completion of the animation.
Then the works created with great effort are easily plundered by capital, and the producers do not make a penny and need to pay money to get in.
Someone asked them why they were so stupid? They were not just to tell the story in their hearts, but also to the dream of the rise of Chinese animation.
"If you are poor, you will be safe; if you are rich, you will be able to help the world. Since we are already one of the most well-known companies in the Chinese comics industry, should we help those newcomers?"
Everyone fell into silence, like they all started to work hard on the domestic comic wasteland with many obstacles and struggled little by little? They may not know the dilemma of the newcomer.
Last year, the top country's big bonus was considered to have successfully renewed the life of the lower-level companies, but what followed was the full intervention of capital. Everyone knows the nature of capital. What is the fishing of the water and sustainable development has nothing to do with them. For the sake of profit, it can even trample on all laws.
First-tier companies are not going well. They are the signature of Chinese comics and have huge influence. Capital dare not treat them. For example, Xing Tian, who relies on competitions in the early stage and Xu Jiezhou in the middle stage, and no one dares to sign a contract with the overlords when he becomes famous in the later stage.
Although second-tier companies are not very famous, they don’t need to worry about having a fixed source of customers and funders.
But new people and new companies are not good. They have no money and no one. Some even sell their money to make animations. They are like four people in Yixin Studio. They are so poor that they can’t even afford instant noodles. How can they make good animations?
This is when capital casts a wide net. You only need to invest a little money to gain countless IPs. Even if most of them lose money and end in vain, the small part of the money can be compensated back.
This also makes the underlying environment of Chinese comics even more difficult. Either you starve to death while guarding the IP, or you become a dog that capital subordinates don’t deserve even their names. Newcomers lose not only all copyrights, income rights, and even their own company names and accounts, losing all dignity.
It’s really ironic. The rich family smells of wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death.
The worst of them is the Hungry Wolf. In fact, it has been mentioned earlier in the concrete animation. When C is facing Xing Tian and Jing Tian, they are completely two different faces. They begged Xing Tian, so the copyright income is very open to the door of convenience. Jing Xiang and other small companies can only be exploited. No wonder Zhu Zhiyi complains to Xu Xing on the night of the Golden Dragon.
"What do you want to do?" Yan Junqing asked, his mouth broke the silence of everyone.
"I want to create a website to play animations of these new people and new companies. Unlike the usual free viewing in China, I want to watch it for a fee like abroad."
"The paid model has proven to be unworkable in China." Guo Wei refuted, he did not want to move forward on a wrong path.
"Yes, the national conditions in China are indeed not suitable for the paid model, so the website I envisioned is to watch animations with points, and in addition to recharging points, you can also get tasks, which also gives users the opportunity to have free time." Simply put, the user is either liver or krypton, simple and crude.
"Then what profit do you make? All video websites are losing money all the time."
"With games, in addition to online shopping, is there anything more money than games in China?"
"Can a game build a website?"
"Of course."
Experiences from previous lives have proved that games can not only support a B station, but also make him live a very comfortable life.
"Then how do you deal with attacks from other websites? You should know that thanks to you, Station C is now the first choice for Chinese comics. The hungry wolf behind him is a person who eats people and doesn't spit bones."
"Then find a backer. After all, the hungry wolf is not invincible."
...
After a fierce debate, the scene fell silent again. Xu Xing's plan seemed too whimsical to other bosses. After all, he was a young man, but Xu Xing could respond to the questions raised by them one by one, which shows that he was fully prepared. He could not argue with Xu Xing and could only remain silent.
The first person to break the silence was Yan Junqing, "I think Mr. Xu has a good idea. Who is not from a newcomer? Why can't we help them?" His opening also means that the first person to support Xu Xing appeared.
Xing Tian once helped them while competing with the online game God Realm. Yan Junqing always remembered it in his heart, but Xing Tian became more and more popular and ran to Tianji not long after, which made the return he imagined became useless.
Now, some of his ideas are agreed with Xu Xing's proposal. With Xing Tian's favor, Yan Junqing chose to take the lead first.
Yan Junqing took the lead, and Li Ji would certainly not fall behind. He agreed immediately. The top six Chinese comics teams were ranked third, and the number one was still the second. The situation was over. The other three had no choice but to agree.
Thinking of the difficulties that were about to face, the few people couldn't help but sigh, Young people, doing things is impulsive, but something called passionate blood seems to have returned to their thirties and forties.
