My Animation Era

The Spring Festival is approaching.

The Jiangchuan municipal department has already started to hang festive lanterns, lanterns and decorations for the Year of the Rabbit on the landscape trees and street lights in the streets and alleys.

In the multifunctional meeting room on the 15th floor of Fuding Building located in the core urban area, Wanbao Group also ushered in its first "year-end summary" meeting.

Said it was a meeting...

In fact, the participants are only the heads and managers of the subsidiaries, including the Neon branch that is far away overseas and participated in the conference through video.

A full play counts 30 people.

Most of them listened attentively and basically had no right to speak. Other than the "Four Maggot Brothers", the representatives responsible for speaking were Seto, Jiang Keke and Lao He.

"I just want to say one thing..."

As the most reliable pillar of the group and the core part of Wanbao's IP strategy, the person in charge of peripheral derivatives, Old He of Wanbao Toys, took the lead in complaining.

"I finally earned some money, but it was all taken away by Mr. Gu. After working hard for half a year, I can't even drink soup at the end of the year. It's not fair! No matter how you divide it, I must take the lion's share of the year-end bonus!"

"Why do you take the big head?"

Before Gu Miao could speak, Ma Kui, one of the four maggot brothers, couldn't bear it any longer. He patted the table and glared at Old He, saying, "Without an animation company, can your products be sold?"

Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother, right?

Ma Kui was very upset.

Originally, the total amount of year-end bonus set by Mr. Gu was not much, and if it was divided among the subsidiaries, it would be even less. If Lao He got the big head, what would the others do?

"You said that, if there is no toy company to give you continuous blood transfusion, can you still survive?" Old He retorted.

"You're looking for faults, aren't you?"

"What? Don't accept a touch?"

The two were arguing red-faced, and the others looked at each other, but no one dared to speak out to persuade them to fight.

After all it comes down to it.

Under Wanbao Group, animation and toy companies are the big brothers. These two elder brothers quarreled, how could the younger brothers dare to speak? If the elder brother angered, wouldn't it be sent?

At the critical moment, it's up to Gu Miao.

"Okay, okay!"

Gu Miao, who was sitting in the first seat and hadn't spoken much, coughed, signaled the two to calm down, and said calmly, "This is not a vegetable market, so why bother?"

"I've already made arrangements for the distribution of the year-end bonus. Let's skip this topic, let's summarize the past six months..."

The first is Wanbao Animation.

Established half a year ago, it has two subordinate studios, "Wolf Fort" and "Lightning", and produced three animations, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line" and "Sheep and Goat Games".

Outstanding performance!

Not to mention the unfinished "Sheep and Sheep Games", which is currently on the air, and "Pigman I" which is still in production. The two animations of Pleasant Goat and Lei Sudeng alone have created benefits beyond imagination.

Not just broadcast rights for sale.

There are also IP licensing, advertising business and overseas income. All of them add up to about 20 to 30 million.

Counting the "Sheep and Goat Games", there should be 50 million.

Sounds like a lot...

But the animation company's expenditure is also a lot. The first TV animation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is invested by Jiangchuan Children's Channel.

The average investment of the three works "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line", "Sheep and Sheep Games" and "Pigman: Magical Pigs" has exceeded 10 million.

Plus administrative office expenses.

After half a year, Wanbao Animation didn't just say they were poor, they really didn't make much money.

All I can say is, no loss, no gain.

The same goes for the Neon Division.

Regardless of the popularity of "Sailor Moon", Tsukino Usagi has become a new generation of two-dimensional "goddess". But as a producer, the Neon branch really didn't get rich overnight.

Barely make a living.

Among the many subsidiaries of Wanbao Group, the only companies that can be called profitable, or even huge profits, are probably Wanbao Toys and the newly established Wanbao Stationery.

These two companies are proper cash cows.

Just two months ago, the "Lei Sudeng remote control car", which was popular all over the country, created hundreds of millions of revenue for Wanbao Toys. Not to mention, there is also the golden signboard of "Pleasant Goat".

Now "Sailor Moon" also has a certain popularity, and the figure sales are booming.

On the whole, the toy company is definitely the most profitable subsidiary. In the past six months, at least 100 million cash flow has been contributed to Gu Miao.

This is also the confidence of Lao He to pat the table.

The brothers are all poor, relying on his big brother for blood transfusion support. Under such circumstances, can he not speak hard?

"After a while, I'm afraid even the president won't pay attention to me..."

Gu Miao was very worried.

Since ancient times, the emperor is most afraid of the "supporting soldiers and self-respect" of the vassal princes everywhere. Lao He's arrogant attitude has given him the idea of ​​​​"cutting the feudal clan".

Do not cut a meal.

In case one day, Old He's brain got hot, he bought a yellow coat and put it on Ma Kui, and raised his arms and shouted: "There is no master of all treasures, may the vice president of Horse Horse be the emperor!"

So what should he do?

Although it is said that Ma Kui has always been hostile to Lao He, and the two quarrel when they meet. But maybe this is the "illusion" created by the two colluding to paralyze him.

Glancing at Ma Kui and Lao He who were still "looking at each other affectionately", Gu Miao became more and more suspicious.

no!

In the next year, the clan must be cut down, and part of Wanbao Toys' business must be divested to other subsidiaries. Otherwise, if this continues, Lao He will turn against him sooner or later.

After confirming the focus of work for the next year, Gu Miao immediately looked at the person in charge of another subsidiary.

Nantong Sensei!

Wanbao Comics in the past six months... oh no! It's been three months, and they've done pretty well. The sales of the two single-volume comics released are skyrocketing.

This is also the only subsidiary that can live a healthy life without relying on blood transfusions from peripheral derivatives.

"The comic magazine has been approved."

Gu Miao knocked on the table, and pondered: "In my opinion, we can start a publication and publish the first comic magazine in the next year."

"It's easy to start a publication."

Teacher Nan Tong nodded and said: "But there are two problems that need to be solved urgently. The first problem is the lack of submissions for serial comics, and the second problem is the magazine's release cycle."

Contributing to this is easy.

There are not many domestic comic magazines, and there are few competitors. There is an oversupply of serial comics, so as long as the price can be paid, soliciting manuscripts is not a problem.

As for the release cycle...

"I think a weekly magazine would be more appropriate!"

Gu Miao explained: "Monthly, or semi-monthly, the interval is too long, which is not conducive to readers to follow up and read."

He hated the monthly magazines.

When she was still studying, Gu Miao also bought several semi-monthly and monthly comic magazines. I just read it with interest, but when I turn the page...there is nothing left!

Want to see the sequel?

Obediently wait half a month, a month!

This is worse than the broken chapter dog at the starting point! Fragmented dogs can make readers uncomfortable for a day at most, but monthly magazines can make readers suffer for a month.

one month!

Do you know how he spent this month?
