The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Chapter 95



Chapter 94 Autonomous operation

Jiang Anhong, after watching “The Evolution of 4.6 Billion Ensemble”, very strongly wanted to introduce this animation.

But this is not easy.

China Central Television, that is the leading domestic TV station-at least in name.

However, the average price they buy for the broadcasting rights of an animation is about 500 to 1,000 yuan a minute.

What is this concept? Like “Evolutionary 4.6 Billion Ensemble”, a movie that takes about 20 minutes or so for an episode costs 20,000 yuan.

To be honest, this is not even enough for a month’s salary of a skilled artist in Dimension Entertainment.

But this is the current situation, the more general animation industry is facing.

A cartoon, even if the production budget is kept low, it is difficult to be so low. If you want to make money by selling animations to TV stations, then you can go bankrupt as soon as possible.

In a corner that ordinary people cannot see, a large number of animations are sold at this price.

Even, their prices are already the highest in the industry. It is also common for many small TV stations to buy an animation at a price of tens of dollars a minute.

Of course, things like “Under One”, “Full-time Master”, and “Shen Soul Street” are nothing more. They are not on the way of TV stations.

The key reason for this situation is that the domestic animation market for children is dominated by television stations and driven by domestic animation subsidies.

Animation subsidies can reach thousands of yuan a minute, which is a very attractive price for many animation manufacturers.

But if you want to get subsidies, the usual condition is: broadcast on TV.

only those who have been broadcasted on TV are eligible to receive animation subsidies.

So, sitting on the upstream TV station is fully qualified to crush the price.

Sometimes, let alone expecting the TV station to give money, many animation manufacturers really ask grandpa to tell grandma, ask the TV station to broadcast animations, or post money.

Most of the animations can’t make money by selling the broadcasting rights, and even make a big loss. If you want to make money back, you have to rely on animation subsidies, and then make some money by selling peripherals, selling DVDs, and selling toys.

In fact, many animation manufacturers are simply made by toy factories.

One can imagine the quality of this kind of animation.

But “Dimension Entertainment” is not such a company, and “The Evolution of 4.6 Billion Ensemble” is not such a work either.

is only the twenty minutes of the first episode. Although only the cells and the primitive ocean are involved, from the perspective of an expert like Jiang Anhong, the production cost of this work is not comparable to those of small workshops.

Especially when he went to the Internet and inquired about the situation of ‘Dimensional Entertainment’, he realized more clearly that if he wanted to take the animation subsidy, he couldn’t control it.

That little money, at best, can be invested by the master to win this ‘Science Animation Competition’. As for the production cost? forget it.

There is no way to go from this path, Jiang Anhong rubbed his eyebrows, thinking about other ways.

It’s also interesting to say. A few weeks ago, Tang Zhiqi asked him to help him get a place in the “Science Contest”. The result is now that he has to think carefully about how to make Dimension Entertainment promise to put the film on him.

Thinking about it, he probably had some ideas in his head.

“I hope to impress Dimension Entertainment…”

……

The news that Dimension Entertainment has made the animation “The 4.6 Billion Ensemble of Evolution” has also been spread.

Multi-party video site, moving after smelling fishy.

Although, this film will definitely be a niche work once you hear the name and then the subject matter. However, with the animation “Special Events Task Force” ahead of it, it is hard to say that “The 4.6 Billion Ensemble” will rush.

What’s more, the style of “The 4.6 Billion Ensemble” is not a niche style. After reading the concept map, the aesthetic style is not like the dull and popular science works in the impression.

Faced with many tentative quotations, Ye Jiayi made a quotation of two million per episode and a total price of thirty million.

No one bought it.

Ye Jiayi didn’t care too much. This was originally a way to scare away the opponent. She had never considered doing copyright sales as before.

In the past, ‘Dimensional Entertainment’ lacked the ability to operate by itself, but now that she has taken over, it’s impossible to play in such a rough way.

At present, what she is really talking about is the first broadcast rights of this animation. As for whether it is exclusive, we have to watch it again.

According to her goal, in the first season of “4.6 Billion Ensemble”, as long as the results do not hit the street, Dimension Entertainment must at least harvest more than 20 million yuan in the market to be considered a success.

The current network premiere rights are priced at around five to eight million yuan, and they are still being discussed. In addition, Ye Jiayi is still discussing the model of participating in the sale of broadcasting rights and on-demand sharing.

Of course, since you have chosen to operate independently, the income is unlikely to be like selling copyrights, and it can be credited quickly. It takes a longer time to recover the cost slowly But there is no doubt that as long as one’s own operational capabilities can keep up, the long-term income must be more than simply selling the copyright. many.

Fan Zhe had no opinion on this, and he threw it all to Ye Jiayi to call the shots.

The financial situation of the company is very healthy now, and there is no need to sell the copyright immediately to recover the money to maintain the company’s operations.

In this case, it is the best choice to put a long line to catch the big fish and maximize the commercial profit of a work as much as possible.

……

And this time, it’s time for the awards of the ‘Science Animation Competition’ held in Shanghai.

Half a month ago, the organizer of the competition issued a notice saying that the work was to be delivered for the organizer to judge.

At that time, “The 4.6 Billion Ensemble” was far from finished.

However, in the rules and regulations of the ‘Contest’, it is clearly stated that companies participating in the competition must submit at least one hundred minutes or more of the film to the committee for viewing and evaluation.

One hundred minutes of content, there is no need to finish the whole film, which is about five episodes. After a little bit of work hours, Dimension Entertainment successfully completed the production of the first five episodes of the trial before that.

At this moment, in a venue in Shangjing, the ‘Science Animation Competition’ is underway. On the red carpet of the stage, a few hosts who did not know where they were invited were announcing the rankings one by one.

The Excellence Award has been announced, and the remaining are the top three.

There is no difference between two and three, you can ignore it, but the first name is the most important.

After the announcement of the third place, among the shortlisted works on the field, only the works of ‘Ming Animation’ and ‘Dimension Entertainment’ were left, which have not been mentioned yet.
