Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked at Zhao Ye in shock.

Zhao Ye smiled and said: "After I buy the Shanghai Art Film Studio, I will immediately invest an additional 5000 million yuan in the studio. In addition..."

Before he finished speaking, the huge investment of 5000 million yuan had already shocked the studio employees.

Shanghai Animation Film Studio has never seen so much money.

In the past, when cartoons were produced in China, the state would allocate funds according to needs. Once the cartoons were produced, they would be given to TV stations for free. After the reform and opening up, Shanghai Art Film Studio needs to be responsible for its own profits and losses. But at this time, RB cartoons entered the Chinese market, and the cartoons were free. This left Shanghai Animation Film Studio with no plan to deal with it, and its decline was a foregone conclusion.

Zhao Ye continued, minding his own business: "In addition, our Wujiang Group is developing games, and Shanghai Animation Film Studio will soon receive several tasks for feature-length cartoons! These cartoons will follow the development of Wujiang Games. It became a hit and became a fanatical pursuit among players around the world!”

Finally, Zhao Ye smiled and said to the people in the studio: "Oh, by the way, I plan to improve everyone's benefits and increase the monthly salary by 20%. Employees who have resigned before can be allowed to come back and continue to work in animation production. Of course, as a The studio will never want anyone who is a traitor and harms the public and private interests."

As soon as he finished saying this, the whole audience burst into enthusiastic cheers.

"Boss Zhao is awesome!"

"Long live Boss Zhao!"

"Boss Zhao, when will you buy the studio? I can't wait!" someone in the crowd asked loudly.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He only used the simple and crude method of raising wages to win the support of the employees of Shanghai Art Film Studio, so much so that they even eagerly hoped that he could acquire it immediately. Their factory.

"Now you can!!!"

After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he turned to look at the government leaders, "Leader, do you think we can sign a contract directly here now?!"

Mayor Zhou Bowen smiled and nodded: "No problem, you can sign the contract now!"

After saying that, applause and cheers suddenly broke out from the surroundings.

"Snap, snap, snap!!"

So, at noon that day, Zhao Ye signed an acquisition agreement with the government at Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

Zhao Ye kept his promise, officially announced an increase in wages for studio employees, and asked the finance department to transfer funds to the studio as soon as possible.

After seeing off the city leaders, Zhao Ye ordered director Xu Xiangming to call all the senior executives of Shanghai Animation Film Studio to the office for a meeting.

"Director Xu, how many people have resigned from Shanghai Animation Film Studio since the reform and opening up?"

Zhao Ye sat at the front desk and looked at Factory Director Xu Xiangming on his right.

Xu Xiangming thought for a moment and replied: "About more than two hundred people..."

"So many??? It's a bit beyond my expectation." Zhao Ye said in astonishment, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Xu Xiangming sighed: "In the past, the state took care of everything, and we were only responsible for making cartoons good, but now we have to be responsible for our own profits and losses. However, making cartoons does not make money, and the life of the studio is becoming more and more difficult, even for the employees Their wages sometimes cannot be paid. However, after all, many people still have to support their families, so they have gone to find other ways to make a living! In fact, many of them love the animation industry very much, and making classics has always been everyone's priority. A dream. Unfortunately, reality is too cruel..."

When Xu Xiangming said this, his voice was choked up.

Zhao Ye couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. He could understand these people leaving.

If you can't even eat, what's the point of dreaming?

"Try to find them back as much as possible. They belong to Shanghai Art Film Studio, and their talents cannot be wasted. I guarantee that here, they will not only live a comfortable life, but also realize their dreams!" Zhao Ye said with a sincere and solemn expression. said.

"Yes! I will definitely try my best to contact them and ask them to come back!" Xu Xiangming nodded heavily.

"Um,"

Zhao Ye nodded softly and then changed the subject, "This morning, I just visited the studio briefly. Many things have not been understood in detail. Director Xu, please give me a detailed introduction to the current situation of the studio. Animation project in development.”

"Okay, boss." Xu Xiangming nodded and spoke, introducing in detail, "Currently, our studio has five animated short films, Nuwa Mending the Sky, Big Flower and Little Flower, Toothless Tiger, and Grab the Pillow , clips save deer.

There is only one animated series: "Calabash Brothers"

Zhao Ye was surprised when he heard this. He didn't know much about the five animated short films, but he knew a lot about the "Calabash Brothers" series of animations.

When it comes to which cartoon from Shanghai Animation Film Studio is the most famous, it is probably the "Calabash Brothers" series.

“Calabash baby Calabash baby, seven melons on a vine.

Don't be afraid of wind or rain.

La la la la..."

A familiar melody sounded in Zhao Ye's mind.

This song feels a bit brainwashing. Most people who have heard this song can sing one or two lines.

Xu Xiangming was still introducing at this time: "The "Calabash Brothers" series of cartoons are paper-cut cartoons. They mainly tell the story of 7 magical gourds and 7 brothers with extraordinary abilities. They fight against goblins in order to save their loved ones. …”

Xu Xiangming saw that Zhao Ye seemed to be particularly interested in "Calabash Brothers", so he introduced the plot of the cartoon in detail.

"It is said that the scorpion spirit and the snake spirit are imprisoned in the Calabash Mountain. A pangolin accidentally penetrated the cave, and the two goblins escaped. From then on, the people suffered. The pangolin was saved by an old man. He told the old man that only seven-color gourds could be grown. , to destroy these two goblins. The old man got a gourd seed and planted seven big gourds of red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue and purple, but the goblin saw it through the wishful mirror. They could not destroy this gourd. After seven gourds, the old man who rescued the gourds was captured. The seven gourds matured one after another, and fell to the ground one after another and turned into seven barefoot little boys, wearing seven colors of clothing..."

While Zhao Ye was listening to Xu Xiangming's story, he was thinking about how to turn "Calabash Brothers" into an IP.

The plot of Super Mario is the plot of the plumber rescuing the princess.

Let's do something similar... Calabash brothers save grandpa? ? ?

Well, I feel like I’m getting something wrong!

Super Mario only transforms by eating mushrooms. I have seven gourds with different colors and functions, which are more versatile than Super Mario.

"Boss, do you think the plot of "Calabash Brothers" is okay?" Xu asked Zhao Ye after introducing it to Ming.

Zhao Ye replied with a smile: "The plot is good. I think it will be popular all over the country. I want to develop a game based on this cartoon and let players all over the world like it!"

"I want the Seven Calabash Brothers to become the number one group in Asia!"

Xu Xiangming's blood boiled when he heard the first words, and when he heard the second words, his expression suddenly became a little astonished.
