The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 254 I want to take off...butterfly effect?
""Chinese Heroes" is the finale today, right? Did you record it for me?"

Yin Youyou, who hadn't turned on the TV, asked her boyfriend first.

As a die-hard fan of Shen Zhenyi, since Shen Zhenyi and Dunhuang jointly established Shuguang Films, the fan group formed by Yin Youyou has paid more attention to Dunhuang's movements. No, even if it is a TV animation broadcast, the fan group also Announcement was made early.

Frankly speaking, Yin Youyou is not a fan of hot-blooded comics, but out of support, she still watched two episodes of "Chinese Heroes".

On the contrary, it was her boyfriend, who claimed to be half a manga fan, but at the beginning he sneered at this manga adaptation—"You are so old, why do you still watch cartoons?"

Yin Youyou didn't bother to beep with him, because the free time didn't match the broadcast time, so she could only "press" this guy to help her record it in advance.

then……

"Hey, this animation is quite well-produced, and its rhythm looks very similar to watching a movie, no wonder I can watch it."

—— Yin Youyou also agrees with this comment.

——Although as a TV animation, it does not need to delete a lot of details like shooting a movie, but the production team still adjusted the narrative technique to speed up the rhythm, and it also made it quite conspicuous among the TV animations that unfolded the plot slowly.

"Oh, this adaptation is a bit big, the fighting effect is more gorgeous, and the overall tone is much brighter than the manga... I like this change!"

——Well, compared with Wang Weiyuan's time and space, although the "Chinese Heroes" in this time and space is not as tragic as the lone star of Tiansha, but because of some political implications, the tone is a bit dark and sad;

——However, after being adapted into an animation, also considering the overall tone requirements of the superhero universe, the dark and sad attributes have been reduced a lot.

"Today is the ending, not the ending, uh, anyway, you'll know it after reading it, I think this is even the beginning of the long story..."

"..."

At this moment, Yin Youyou only felt a hundred ducks chattering in his ears.

——Is it agreed that children will only watch anime?This guy looks more energetic than me!

Yin Youyou complained about the man's duplicity in his heart, while watching the recorded animation, finally, he finally saw the "layout" in his boyfriend's mouth, which was actually the easter egg at the end——

Time came to modern times, and the sword left by Hua Yingxiong appeared in an organization called "Dragon Group". According to the dialogue, they wanted to "resurrect" Hua Yingxiong to this world; and an electronic map appeared in the background, which marked With more superhero locations...

"It's normal, this is just laying some Easter eggs for the sequel." Yin Youyou, who has read countless films, said that she is not surprised.

"If I haven't read the comics, it would be normal; but in the comics, Hua Yingxiong is resurrected, but there is no 'Dragon Group' organization, so this is definitely not just a sequel..." The boyfriend vowed.

"Okay, what you said may be reasonable, but we still have to wait until the sequel comes out to know the rest." Yin Youyou said helplessly.

At this time, the boyfriend slapped his head, "Don't wait for the sequel! I'm stupid too, this is a manga adaptation animation, and the corresponding manga must be on the market, don't we know it just by reading the manga!?"

"...So, not only did you fall into the pit, but you couldn't get out?" Yin Youyou muttered.

However, she did not object in the end, because she was also quite curious about the plot hidden in the easter eggs.

……

"With the blessing of animation, the sales of comics have increased by 23% year-on-year!"

Tao Kang almost burst into tears.

Today, when the traditional comic industry has been in decline, it is not easy for comic sales to increase significantly.

Although, the income brought by comics only accounts for a small part of the entire superhero universe project, but this part is exclusive to chasing light comics.

——Although it was fully acquired by Dunhuang, Chasing Light Comic is still operated independently, and in the Chaoying Universe project, it also shares the income according to the investment ratio. Of course, the income other than comics is excluded.

"Sure enough, the commercial potential of comics can only be revealed after the real film and television adaptation."

As the boss of Chasing Light Comics, Tao Kang has been waiting for this moment for a long time!
As the first season, the animated version of "Chinese Heroes" is not long, only 8 episodes, but with an average ratings of [-]%, of which nearly [-]% of the audience are adults, enough for this IP to expand its influence among the general population , to attract more non-comic fans to understand the world view of "Superhero Universe".

This is an adult with purchasing power!

What is the biggest advantage of cartoons——

Sell ​​around!

Of course, the various authorizations for this project are fully represented by Dunhuang.

It’s not that Tao Kang doesn’t want to fight, but that the production of peripheral derivatives is nothing more than the sale of franchise rights by the film studio, which attracts many merchants and manufacturers to inject capital into production. In the end, the film studio collects “copyright fees”, and the manufacturers earn product fees. economic benefits.

And this requires signing authorization cooperation agreements with many businesses in advance. For example, Dunhuang has more than 1000 authorized cooperation companies in China, which enables its derivatives to keep up with each movie at a relatively fast speed.

This is also the reason why Chasing Light Comics can only hug its thighs - only such a big company can afford such a model.

——The merchandise of the animation sells a lot, and when the live-action movie is released, it will sell another wave...Anyway, thinking about the future of Qian Jing, Tao Kang feels his heart is burning, and he even wants to launch a live-action movie with greater influence immediately.

However, he quickly suppressed this thought.

He Xi, who didn't want to see him for a short time, definitely disagreed.

After all, live-action movies require a lot of visual effects, and now is obviously not the best time, no matter in terms of technological maturity or huge investment.

Alas, let's follow the original plan - first complete the low-cost TV animation adaptation, which can not only grab a wave of profits first, but also further promote the work;
Then, based on the relevant ratings data, determine which hero and which plot are the most popular, and then start the production of the first live-action movie to ensure the lowest probability of failure.

In this sense, every new TV animation is like a small experiment.

Although the ratings of "Chinese Heroes" are not bad, it is still impossible to have a great influence in the short term.

"But in any case, Chasing Light Comics is facing an increasingly broad market and a good development environment. Compared with the other two comic companies, we are far ahead!"

Just when Tao Kang felt that he was about to take off, another piece of news came——

"Tangyu Media officially acquired the industry leader Longyou Comics, and another powerful alliance was born!"

"..."

Tao Kang couldn't help complaining crazily—these two have been hooking up for so long and haven't reached an agreement, why did they merge into one so suddenly?Could it be the butterfly effect caused by the filming of "Chinese Heroes" with Dunhuang?
