Hong Kong Comic Master

Originally, when "Gundam" was broadcast, even the internal staff of Shenlong Animation, which produced the animation itself, were not optimistic about this animation. After all, the popularity of the comics lies there!

And the cost of "Gundam" is so high that no one believes that it can recoup the cost, thinking that this is an animation that loses money and makes money. →

However, the ratings of the animation exceeded everyone's imagination.

"How much? 63%?"

The first time he heard this number, Cai Zhizhong thought he heard it wrong.

"That's right! Mr. Cai, let me tell you, I really didn't expect the ratings of this animation to be so good!"

Ah Can, who was dressed slovenly and looked like a programmer, said excitedly in Cai Zhizhong's office.

Judging from his excitement, it seemed that if it weren't for the gravity of the earth, he would have been on the roof.

At this time, he completely forgot about the dilemma when he had to leave. Instead, he regarded Shenlong Company as his own home and was truly happy for it.

Acan, who stayed behind, is still very capable and has made rapid progress. In just half a year, he has defeated several competitors and became the first editor of "Gundam". He has lived up to Li Wannian's trust in him.

Therefore, Acan has been holding his breath and wants to prove himself. Now that he sees that this animation he edited has been successful in the market, he feels that all the hardships have been rewarded. No wonder he is so happy.

“Have all the children on Hong Kong Island transitioned?”

Compared to Acan, Cai Zhizhong appears to be very calm.

Because he is confused!

"Mobile Suit Gundam" has always been a very unique comic in two-dimensional magazines.

Although it is a work by Banzai, even readers know that the person really responsible for the painting is Zheng Jinwen.

Among them, the heroic painting style, huge world view and storyline have made this work quite polarizing in Hong Kong Island.

People who like it like it very much, but people who don't like it don't watch it at all because they don't understand it! After all, a large part of the people who buy comics today have not even graduated from high school!

Therefore, every time the magazine investigates the popularity, it is found that the popularity of "Gundam" is the lowest among several works, not even as good as the previous one "Chinese Master Chef".

After an internal analysis by the magazine, it was concluded that the comic book audience in Hong Kong Island does not like science fiction.

Especially some readers with low education level. They may like mechas, but they are immediately put off by the complicated world view.

Therefore, when it was announced that "Gundam" would be animated, Cai Zhizhong was very unfavorable and felt that it was a money-losing product, making money at a loss.

But because Li Wannian insisted, Cai Zhizhong could not object, and the trip finally happened.

Later, due to the opening of foreign markets, Cai Zhizhong thought that Li Wannian wanted to sell "Gundam" abroad, so that there would be greater hope of repaying the capital.

Unexpectedly, I still wanted to keep it simple.

Li Wannian, this is the rhythm I want!

I want markets in other places, and I want markets on Hong Kong Island!

What he just couldn't figure out was why no one read the comics, but so many people watched the animations?

"What are you talking about?"

Cai Zhizhong's office was pushed open, and Li Wannian walked in. The two stood up immediately after seeing it.

"Mr. Li, the collection rate of "Gundam" has reached 63%. This is the fourth work of our Shenlong Company to achieve a collection rate of 60%!"

Acan said excitedly to Li Wannian.

"What's so exciting about this? Which of our company's works can't reach 60%?"

As soon as Li Wannian said these words, Acan's smile suddenly froze.

Although what Mr. Li said was fine, why did it sound so awkward?

"Pfft!"

Zhong Chuhong, who was behind Li Wannian, accidentally laughed out loud.

Logically speaking, Zhong Chuhong would not laugh unless he couldn't help it.

After learning about the ratings of "Gundam" in the morning, Li Wannian hugged and kissed him happily at home. How could he look as confident as he does now?

"Mr. Li, you are busy, I will go and pour tea for you guys first!"

Upon seeing this, Acan wisely chose to leave.

Li Wannian turned around and glared at Zhong Chuhong, and then sat opposite Cai Zhizhong.

"Boss, why is the performance of the "Gundam" animation so much better than the comics?"

"The audience groups are different. The audience group of animation will be more children. They can't afford comics. In addition, animation's explanation of the plot is much more expressive than comics. Once a lot of words are put on it, those people may It looks dizzy, but if it becomes a voice actor narrating, then they will listen!”

"I see!"

Cai Zhizhong suddenly realized.

It just so happened that at this moment, Acan placed tea in front of Li Wannian.

"Thank you!" After Li Wannian thanked him, he changed the subject.

"When are you going to set off?"

"The flight is tomorrow morning!"

Cai Zhizhong is returning to Wanwan this time.

It has been two years since he came to Hong Kong Island. Although he is not married, he still spends less time with his parents at home.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he will take some of his employees back to Wanwan. As for the rest, they need to wait until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month before they can take a holiday!

Of course, the main reason why Cai Zhizhong returned to Wanwan so early was that he wanted to recruit people for Shenlong Animation and even 2D Magazine.

As Shenlong Animation has successively launched various hit works, the company's reputation in the industry has also grown.

As the company's general manager, Cai Zhizhong's name is also known to more and more people in the industry.

Even in the newspapers of Taiwan, the words "Light of Taiwan" appeared to praise Cai Zhizhong.

Therefore, taking advantage of this favorable wind, Li Wannian decided to let Cai Zhizhong return home with glory and see if he could bring the company's works into the Taiwan market, and at the same time, he could dig up some more talents from Taiwan.

After all, compared with Hong Kong Island, which has a population of more than 4.9 million, Taiwan, with a population of more than 17 million, has more talents.

"Okay, I won't see you off tomorrow, have a good trip!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Li Wannian raised his teacup and used tea instead of wine to see Cai Zhizhong off on his journey.

The reason for not seeing him off was simple, he couldn't get up in the morning.

"I'm not worried about recruiting people when you go there. What I care about most is where you plan to start so that our animation can enter the Taiwanese market?"

"Boss, don't worry. I've analyzed this and we have to start with CTS!"

There are currently three major TV stations in Taiwan, namely: Taiwan Television Company (abbreviated as TTV), China Television Company (abbreviated as CTS) and China Television Company (abbreviated as CTS), which are often referred to as the "old three stations" later.

The three TV stations have a deep government background. Among them, CTS has an educational attribute, so its ratings are not superior to the other two.

"Education channel?"

After Cai Zhizhong's explanation, Li Wannian immediately noticed this keyword.

This word is so familiar!

"Yes, my Phoenix TV and CTS have many similarities, so this is why I want to invite colleagues from the TV station to return to Taiwan with me!"

Cai Zhizhong explained.

"Have you told my brother about this?"

"Over the phone, Mr. Li assigned Director Shi Nansheng to go with me!"

When Li Wannian heard that the person going with Cai Zhizhong was Shi Nansheng, he felt relieved.

Li Wannian was very confident about her ability, knowing the future. No one knew how powerful Shi Nansheng was better than him, including Xu Ke!
