133: I'm also here to do social research
When it began to rain lightly outside the dormitory, Li Jianghe stretched himself.
Taking an umbrella to class, Li Jianghe received a call from Lu Yeming on the way.
"Hello, boss?" Lu Yeming's voice sounded.
"Lao Lu, how are you?" Li Jianghe looked around. The place where the class was held was crowded with people.
He walked back, stood next to the playground, and continued to ask: "It rained today, did you get wet?"
"I bought a car before and drove there," Lu Yeming continued, "Today I went to more than one animation company. To be honest, the one in the Cultural Industrial Park is the best."
"Why did you remember to go to a few more places? Lao Lu, we don't have extra salary," Li Jianghe joked.
"I have never been exposed to this industry, so I'd better get to know it first. After all, even if I ask for a professional assessment to make a budget in the future, I still have to have a rough idea." Lu Yeming said with a smile: "I know there is no extra salary, black-hearted capitalists, your university's ideological and political
I think the class was in vain."
"You are not considered a working people," Li Jianghe also said with a smile.
"Boss, do you have no classes all day long?" Lu Yeming couldn't help complaining: "Why do I feel that you are so idle?"
"Bah, I'm still free?" Li Jianghe shouted, "I just happened to have class in a while, and now it's the big break."
"Okay, but the valuation of an animation company is difficult to calculate," Lu Yeming said. "To say that a company is not expensive, it is just the labor cost, plus a few computers and some software, but to make animation, the later investment will be very high.
high."
"Oh?" Li Jianghe was not sure.
“It’s difficult to recoup the funds for animation,” Lu Yeming explained: “If you don’t get enough people to watch it, you’ll never be able to get your money back. And if you make an animation for a year, then that year is a pure investment, and there’s basically no money to be made.
"
"Is this so..." Li Jianghe scratched his head. He needed to think carefully about this kind of business method.
"I'm going to class first. Lao Lu, you should be busy first." Li Jianghe looked at the time and decided to go to class first.
There was also a teacher at Yingda who had experience in animation. When Li Jianghe asked, he realized how difficult this industry was.
The era of Chinese animation's international reputation can be traced back to the 1960s. At that time, under the leadership of teacher Wan Laiming, it also achieved brilliance. For example, "Havoc in Heaven" completed in 1961 won the American League Award.
News Agency praised it like this: "It is more exciting than Disney's work. It is impossible for the United States to produce such an animated film."
After that, "Nezha Haohai" and "Tales from the Heavenly Book" were released. Those born in the 80s and 90s probably watched them when they were young, but those born in the 00s probably have no memory of them.
Then there was the unfinished "Black Cat Sheriff". Although the content was interesting, only five episodes were filmed due to financial issues.
Many animations that were pretty good were disgraced due to various reports, such as "Blue Cat's Naughty Three Thousand Questions".
So basically the animations are made in a "healthy" direction for young people, but people can only comment on it as "horrible".
There is no spiritual core, and the production is not even exquisite. It is difficult to make money back for animations that have been made at a high price.
"Jiang He, if you want to engage in animation, I think you need to think more carefully," the teacher with pigtails advised: "One of the reasons why I came to be a teacher is that I can't do it any more. I can only die by loving it.
Yes, but the family still needs to eat."
"Thank you, teacher." Li Jianghe bowed and said, "I just understand."
"Once you understand, don't be stupid. This industry is full of people who come in as soon as their brains are hot." The teacher with pigtails and a very artistic temperament advised, "Too many animation companies are just cheating on state subsidies."
To be honest, if Li Jianghe was not a student, the teacher would be very happy to have someone willing to take advantage of him to enter this industry. The more funds pour into an industry, the faster the development will naturally be, relatively speaking, but as a student of this school, Li Jianghe
, he still has to uphold his responsibility as a teacher and give advice.
"Thank you very much, teacher," Li Jianghe said with his hands clasped together.
Speak from the bottom of my heart.
In the afternoon, Li Jianghe made another trip to the industrial park.
Uncle Chicken Steak was still impressed by him and gave him a 20% discount as promised.
Li Jianghe was eating chicken steak, and a young man came over and bought a chicken steak.
"Friend, are you a staff member here?" The young man looked at Li Jianghe and asked casually.
Li Jianghe looks young, but he is dressed as a young man who has just started working.
"Ah?" Li Jianghe turned around and explained: "I am a student and I am here to conduct a social survey."
"Student?", the young man said with a smile: "I am also a student, and I also do social research."
Li Jianghe and the young man looked at each other.
"My name is Wei Zhenchuan, and I'm from Haihe," the young man said first.
"Li Jianghe, you should be the big one." Li Jianghe also smiled.
Wei Zhenchuan was dressed quite simply, an ordinary white T-shirt and jeans. Li Jianghe still had some discernment and could tell that the clothes were not from a big brand, but Wei Zhenchuan looked very confident, even a little flamboyant.
Overall, it feels a bit strange.
"Li Jianghe", Wei Zhenchuan read it again, as if he was recalling or thinking, and then said: "Classmate, what major are you in?"
"From the School of Liberal Arts, so the teacher asked me to investigate the development of the cultural industry." Li Jianghe's ability to tell lies has improved, "Hey, there are a lot of things in school."
"Yes, Yingda University's liberal arts college is famous, so it's normal to have more tasks." Wei Zhenchuan did not doubt that he was there, because what Li Jianghe said was indeed what he said.
"Classmate, what about you?" Li Jianghe always felt that Wei Zhenchuan was a bit strange. The student might really be a student, but whether he was here to do social research is another matter.
