Chapter 469
"Saint Seiya!" Chen Changxing suddenly heard this name from Yang Ming's mouth. His eyes lit up and his mind became excited. This is a big piece of fat!
This year, for all Chinese teenagers, there is a cartoon that makes them crazy and fascinated by it, and that is "Saint Seiya". *top* point*,x,o
There is a topic that gets all the teenagers hotly debated when they go to school, and sometimes they even get into heated arguments over it, and that is "Saint Seiya".
It can be said that Phoenix TV's Animation World program every afternoon has become a must-see program for countless teenagers across China. This is all because of the cartoon called "Saint Seiya" broadcast by Phoenix TV.
The sudden popularity of "Saint Seiya" and its unparalleled influence in the hearts of Chinese teenagers have led many publishing houses to focus on this piece of fat.
Many publishing houses have even contacted Oriental Animation Company, wanting to distribute and publish the comic version of this cartoon. For this reason, they have offered sky-high prices, but because Oriental Animation Company has not yet produced "Saint Seiya"
》comic version, so this piece of fat has never been identified.
Naturally, Dabai Publishing House, where Chen Changxing worked, would not let go of this fat piece of meat. However, through Chen Changxing's relationship, they directly contacted Yang Ming, but they were always dragged away by Yang Ming and did not give a clear answer.
Now when he suddenly heard Yang Ming mention this, he felt excited and immediately asked: "Don't bother me, kid. Tell me, has the comic version of "Saint Seiya" been finalized?"
"Uh!" Yang Ming really didn't expect Chen Changxing to be so excited. He was a little surprised and said casually: "Not yet, but the overall style and character modeling of the comic have been decided. There's no need to be in such a hurry!"
"Wait for me, I will go to Yanjing to find you now." After hearing this, Chen Changxing immediately finished this sentence decisively and hung up the phone.
"What's going on?" Yang Ming was stunned while holding his phone in confusion. In fact, he really didn't know the powerful influence that the cartoon "Saint Seiya" he created had on Chinese teenagers.
However, what Chen Changxing values is the benefits that "Saint Seiya" can bring to Dabai Publishing House. Relevant staff at the agency estimate that as long as this cartoon is released in a comic version, the sales volume of the single volume will definitely exceed 10 million. Obviously, the comics
The edition cannot be only one volume, it will be at least 10 volumes.
So if Dabai Publishing House can distribute the comic version of this cartoon as an agent, the profits that can be obtained by then will definitely be in the hundreds of millions.
Faced with such a big piece of fat, no publishing house can ignore it, and Dabai Publishing House is no exception.
Therefore, Chen Changxing has been keeping a close eye on this matter. Fortunately, Wu Yuanzhi helped him and Yang Ming get through it. Knowing that Oriental Animation has not confirmed the comic version of "Saint Seiya" yet, he has not taken any measures. Now he
After hearing Yang Ming say that the style and character modeling of the comic version had been determined, the first single volume would be released soon. Of course, Chen Changxing immediately rushed to Yanjing to confirm with Yang Ming that the comic would be released by Dabai Publishing House.
agreement.
Yang Ming thought for a while and probably guessed the popularity of "Saint Seiya". He couldn't help but smile proudly, and then continued to work on the post-production of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Chen Changxing arrived in Yanjing. However, he did not go to Yang Ming immediately. Instead, he went to Liu Xinsheng first. Liu Xinsheng would not neglect it when he saw Chen Changxing coming. He was very concerned about Chen Changxing's strong support for the release of Oriental Huayin Records.
, but he kept it in mind. After hearing Chen Changxing's intention, he immediately went to find Yang Ming with him.
The next day, the news that Dabai Publishing House and Oriental Animation Company had reached an agreement to publish the comic "Saint Seiya" was reported by the media.
When other publishing companies learned about it, they were very frustrated and helpless. The boss of Oriental Animation Company is Yang Ming, and the relationship between Yang Ming and Dabai Publishing House is well known. It can be said that if Dabai Publishing House did not support Yang Mingdi,
The release of an album laid a solid foundation for cooperation between Oriental Huayin and the bookstore under Dabai Publishing House. There would be no Yang Ming and Oriental Huayin today.
Although this understanding is a bit too ideal, we cannot deny the help that Chen Changxing and Dabai Publishing House gave Yang Ming.
However, Yang Ming did not disappoint Dabai Publishing House. Whether it was record release or publishing, Dabai Publishing House received sufficient returns.
Especially when other publishing companies offered Yang Ming sky-high prices for cooperation, Yang Ming's chosen partner was still Dabai Publishing House.
Faced with this kind of result, whether it is a publishing company or people in the entertainment industry, they can't help but raise their thumbs and praise Yang Ming: loyalty!
In this increasingly realistic society that values interests above all else, loyalty and benevolence like Yang Ming's behavior are becoming increasingly rare and rare.
Some people may think that Yang Ming's approach is a complete fool. He will cooperate with whoever offers good conditions. This is common sense. Even if Yang Ming chooses to cooperate with other publishing houses, no one will say anything, because Yang Ming
The return to Dabai Publishing House has exceeded their original investment.
However, Yang Ming did not choose to change partners. Dongfang Huayin's record distribution and sales, his own publishing, and now comic book distribution, his choice has always been Dabai Publishing House, without changing.
Although this approach seems silly to others, it has also allowed Yang Ming to gain an excellent reputation among middle and low-level artists in the entertainment industry.
Because they saw in Yang Ming the trait of "sharing hardships and wealth", a trait that is extremely rare in the entertainment industry. Perhaps Yang Ming is not popular among those who are at the top of the entertainment industry.
But in the hearts of ordinary artists from the middle and lower classes, they yearn to collaborate with Yang Ming.
This is the effect of Yang Ming's "silly" style, but no one noticed it.
After Oriental Animation and Dabai Publishing House reached an agreement on the distribution and publication of the "Saint Seiya" manga, a few days later, "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" also completed the final post-production, and the samples were released.
After Yang Ming got the sample, he immediately called Hua Xingguo to ask when it would be sent to the national television station for review.
Although the military propaganda leaders have confirmed with the top brass of the national television station that the TV series, which is used to promote the recruitment process, will be broadcast in the prime theater of the national television station, the process still needs to be followed, and the sample film must first be reviewed by the national television station.
When Hua Xingguo heard that Yang Ming said that the sample film of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" was ready, he was immediately excited and asked Yang Ming to send it over immediately to show him first. At the same time, Hua Xingguo also called all the generals in charge of army recruitment.
Call over.
When Yang Ming sent the samples to Hua Xingguo, Hua Xingguo, several generals, and several directors of the art troupe who had been waiting for news in Yanjing, immediately took over the samples of "I Am a Special Forces" from Yang Ming anxiously.
I took it to the prepared viewing room and started watching it.
A few hours later, Hua Xingguo, two generals and three directors walked out of the viewing room, but Yang Ming felt that their faces didn't look good.
One of the generals looked at Yang Ming, then at Hua Xingguo, hesitated to speak, then sighed slightly and shook his head.
"Boy Yang, don't tell me, this is the score you handed in?" Hua Xingguo said with a somewhat ugly face.
"Yes!" Yang Ming nodded calmly. He knew what the military bosses in front of him were thinking, and said, "I believe this TV series will be helpful to the army's recruitment work!"
"Huh!" At this time, one of the black-faced generals snorted coldly and said with an unkind expression: "The filming of this TV series is too fancy! It has completely lost all the fine traditions of our previous main theme film and television works.
Xingguo, I personally think this TV series is not suitable as a promotional video for our army recruitment this year!"
As soon as the black-faced general said this, Yang Ming was okay, but the faces of several other directors of the art troupe suddenly changed and looked extremely ugly. You must know that they have spent a lot of money on this TV series in the past few months.
Their hard work is ultimately denied by their leaders. For those in the system, this is the greatest pain in life.
When Hua Xingguo heard the black-faced general's words, his face turned ugly. He glanced at Yang Ming, who was always calm and composed at the side, and couldn't help but be stunned. Is there something else in this TV series that they didn't see?
He had just watched this TV series from beginning to end. He had to admit that the plot and scenes of this TV series were no different from the fight scenes in blockbusters. It was indeed a rare TV series.
But the style of this TV series is simply different and completely incompatible with the army's previous main theme propaganda films. In other words, the TV series "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" is basically like a main theme propaganda film produced by the army.
The image of Gao Daquan in the previous main theme propaganda films is completely missing in this TV series. Although this TV series also has plots of sacrifice for the country, it cannot satisfy Hua Xingguo and the other two generals at all.
"What else can you say?" Hua Xingguo looked at Yang Ming and said.
When Yang Ming saw this, he didn't expect that the samples would be opposed by the military bosses before they were sent for review. However, he also knew why this situation happened. He calmed down, coughed lightly, and said slowly:
"Uncle Hua, two generals, leaders!"
"Let me make it clear first that this TV series is mainly for young people in China to watch, not for senior military leaders!"
When the three art troupes heard Yang Ming's bold words, they looked at Yang Ming in shock. Is this kid tired of living? He would say such words at this moment? Does he still want this TV series to be broadcast on national television?
Has it been broadcast?
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant.
