I have a lot of achievements

Chapter 515 Years Ago
The members of Damei Studio are mainly Gome students and fresh graduates. After more than a year of development, the studio is no longer what it used to be, but the staffing ratio is still the same, but a group of Well-known painters, designers and other big names in the industry, Gome students working in the studio are basically equivalent to working with these big names for secondary learning.

Combining academic theory with practical experience, the growth rate of American students entering Damei Studio is amazing, and of course the business of Damei Studio is in sync with this growth.

With the orders of many government agencies in Hangzhou and even Zhejiang Province, plus the orders of websites such as Penguin Animation Network and 8 Stations, and the orders of a large number of film and television companies since October last year, the business volume of Damei Studio has already reached a thousand. There is basically no problem with a volume of 5000, reaching [-] million by the middle of the new year. The rapid development momentum is definitely one of the best in the industry.

At first, Qin Gentian established Damei Studio just because there happened to be a policy to support the rent and the rent was not expensive. He wanted to set up a studio to solve the employment and internship problems of some students. If there were too many, he dared not think about it. He could keep the rent and earn some money for these students. It's fine if you don't lose money. I didn't expect it to develop to this scale.

There is no doubt about Meng Fan's role in this, and Meng Caiwei's role is not small-he has pulled a lot of orders from film and television companies, and the support from schools and units also has a lot to do with it. It is impossible for the conditions to develop as well as it is now. Human relations are very useful, but if they are used too much, they will not be of much use.

At present, Damei Studio has three main businesses. One is advertising, including promotional posters of government agencies, film and television companies, and TV stations, as well as commercial advertisements; Wenmangai; the third is animation, which outsources the work of many animation studio painters, including Shanhai Animation of course.

After New Year's Day in 21, the studio has expanded its fourth business, which is comics.

In fact, this is not so much a business as a "career", and there is definitely no way to make money in the short term.The operation mode of the Animation Department of Damei Studio is similar to that of most comic studios. It signs a contract and even collects comic works or promotes them to major platforms individually. Unlike most comic studios, Damei Studio will sign a contract After the work, no matter whether the work can be "maintained", the first thing is to ensure the creator's working environment and living needs.

To put it bluntly, it is to "raise" authors, and prepare to "raise" a large number of them, and even plan to raise a group of niche cartoonists who are difficult to create profits, but the animation industry needs to exist.

This comic department is also linked to the "Shanhai Anime Scholarship" established by Meng Fan in addition to Gome, and the cartoonists who sign the contract will receive part of the scholarship.

Of course, in the long run, this comic department will definitely make money in the future. After all, with the help of Meng Fan's large traffic to help promote it, and there are so many cooperation platforms, as long as there are good works, there will be no worries about explosion.

Then again, with such a business volume, and the fact that the two bosses, Gentiana Qin and Meng Fan, are both conscientious, the income of the members cannot be low, even for a part-time animation student who works here The money earned by Sansan can cover a month's expenses-the expenses of the students of the Academy of Fine Arts are really quite a lot.

At the end of the year, the members all got a lot of year-end bonuses and a red envelope, and the remuneration during overtime was five times as much as usual. Take the initiative to stay in Hangzhou for the New Year, in case there is a contingency in the Animation Awards.

The situation at Shanhai Animation Studio is similar. The difference is that Shanhai Animation has not yet started to make a real profit. Although the first season of "Underground Soul" sold quite well, the investment is really not low. If the animation wants to recover the cost, it still depends on the post-operation.

As for the studio so far, except for the sales of "Spirit Underground", everything else is invested and reinvested. It is impossible to make a profit, and a large number of cooperation and implantation are also continued investment.

However, the studio is not panicking at all. Judging from the current situation and development trend, the time to make a profit can be seen, and we just wait for the animations that have invested in the cost to complete the production.

For the current studio, it is accumulation. Apart from accumulating a large number of works, it is also accumulating reputation. It is only waiting for thick accumulation and thin hair, no, it is an explosion.

"You are finally back!"

At the airport, Mr. Sleepy was full of complaints when he received Meng Fan who had come back from Nehong. During his complaints, he also told about some things that Meng Fan had not had time to tell Meng Fan about the Anime Awards in the past few days when he went to Nehong.

Meng Fan went to Nihong on Lunar New Year's Eve, but there was no way. Although Takahashi from Kodansha helped Meng Fan invite some great gods, some of them needed Meng Fan to do it himself.

Not to mention, although Takahashi is a senior editor at Kodansha, has promoted many manga artists and works, and is also a well-known figure in the neon animation industry, he is not as good at speaking as Meng Fan.

One is that although Meng Fan’s work "The Strange Man in Mountains and Seas" has only been available on Neon for only a year, its popularity has been completely opened up. Although the circulation of the serialized magazine is not very large because of the additional issuance of the comic, it is also one of the fading comics. It's a miracle, the key is the number of hits on the Internet, positive reviews, and the release and sales of the booklet. At present, the neon version of "The Strange Man in the Mountain and Sea" has been released to the tenth volume, and the sales volume has exceeded [-] million. The sales volume of the first volume is in The same period is absolutely invincible. Although the peak value is not as good as the few separate volumes released by OP before, none of OP's single volumes has surpassed the first volume this year.

The second is that Meng Fan's personal fame is too great, and the judo competition in the Olympic Games has pushed his reputation in Neon to the peak.

Meng Fan went to Neon this time to do three things. One was to sign and sell the booklet, and the other was to have a friendly exchange with Neon Judo.Many judo athletes came when I signed the booklet, and many comic fans came during the judo exchange. The Neon Budokan was full for two days.

During the judo exchange, Meng Fan did the third thing by the way, that is to invite those animation masters who are going to be invited to participate in the animation awards to "watch the ceremony" for the judo exchange, and then the success rate of sending out invitations will naturally increase Of course, the various cooperations after participating in the animation awards are the fundamental reason for the final success.
