Sure enough, within half an hour of the Tom and Jerry premiere ending, positive reviews flooded every corner of the internet.
Of course, Chongqing TV may have played a role in promoting it, but more importantly, it was the enthusiastic support of fans who became fans of this high-quality animation and enthusiastically recommended it to others in QQ groups, Tieba, and forums.
Even people who were not originally interested in Tom and Jerry started searching for related information online, and for a time, Tom and Jerry became incredibly popular.
After some more time has passed, I believe that more and more people, whether adults or children, will come to like Tom and Jerry.
As I always say: who can resist an episode of Tom and Jerry?
“Chen Ying, we may have a lot of companies contacting us lately, so you need to be extra careful. You can consult me on anything, big or small.”
Jiang Xia pursed her lips and continued, "By the way, you also need to register the relevant patents, trademarks, and intellectual property rights as soon as possible. If anyone infringes on our rights in the future, we'll sue them one by one!"
"Understood, boss." Shen Ying nodded in agreement.
"After all, from now on, our company's most valuable asset will no longer be the broadcast fees from TV stations, but the copyrights that are closely related to Tom and Jerry. TV stations are just a stepping stone," Jiang Xia said with a smile.
Does this mean our company will soon be able to sit back and collect money?
Wang Ming swallowed hard, fantasizing about receiving a huge sum of money from toy manufacturers every year. Tom and Jerry are so cute, kids love them, surely adults will buy them too?
"That's true, but the popularity of a work is closely related to its lifespan. If you want to make a fortune just by sitting around, you have to keep updating Tom and Jerry and try your best to tell every interesting little story. At the very least, it has to become a classic of a generation's childhood, and that is my goal!" Jiang Xia said earnestly.
In its original form, Tom and Jerry was a masterpiece. Now, its "crudely made" remake has a bit of the classic feel. In the future, when we have more money, we should make this animation more refined so as not to disgrace the name of a masterpiece.
"That's my goal too!"
Wang Ming arrogantly raised his chin, thinking to himself: If Jiang Xia is the father of Tom and Jerry, then he can be considered the godfather, right?
The thought of his hand-made animations accompanying a generation as they grow up is incredibly exciting.
"Me too!"
"Count me in too."
Lin Yanwan smiled and stretched out her hand. The four of them overlapped their palms and waved them down heavily, thus making an eighteen-year-old agreement effective.
"Alright, that's enough for today." Jiang Xia took his wife's hand and said, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come on, let's find a street food stall for barbecue! The company will pay for everything tonight!"
"Yohoo! Long live the boss!" Shen Ying exclaimed happily.
The four of them walked out of the private room one after another, casually glanced at the screen, and were surprised to see that quite a few people were searching for topics related to Tom and Jerry.
The group exchanged smiles; no one could have imagined that the creative team behind this suddenly viral animation was actually surfing the internet in the same place as them.
Wang Ming suddenly chuckled: "It feels pretty good to be secretly showing off like this."
"Haha, that's pretty awesome! Remember this feeling, it'll get even better in the future!"
Jiang Xia smiled, walked to the bar and tapped lightly with his finger: "Old classmate, we're leaving."
"There are still several tens of minutes left, and we're already getting off the plane?" Chen Yao looked up at them.
"Ugh, I'm not going, it's pointless." Jiang Xia felt extremely annoyed at the thought of missing the premiere.
Chen Yao nodded gently and helped them pay and disembark one by one.
"Tom and Jerry is great, Tom and Jerry are both very memorable. Boss Jiang, you're going to be famous," she suddenly said.
"You saw the live stream?" Jiang Xia was taken aback.
Chen Yao retorted, "Didn't you see it?"
As a result, all four of them shook their heads.
"The website crashed, I couldn't get in, and by the time it was restored, it was already too late," Jiang Xia said helplessly.
"Oh, I didn't go in either. I thought the network was stuck. So, I watched it on this TV." She said, pointing to the small TV next to her.
"...Why didn't you say so sooner?" He suddenly felt a toothache.
"I don't know either." Chen Yao glanced at him indifferently. "Besides, I have a rule here that unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."
"Chen Yao, I heard you applied to Peking University's law department?" Shen Ying suddenly asked.
She nodded slightly: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"I have some questions about copyright, patents, and intellectual property. Could I ask you for help later?"
"Sure, just pay the consultation fee," she said casually.
“Uh…” Shen Ying’s breath hitched. She hadn’t expected this outcome. She had heard that this woman was a bit cold-hearted, but she hadn’t realized it was true.
Influenced by Teacher Zhang San, Jiang Xia didn't think there was anything wrong with this statement. Consultation required payment; if you didn't pay, he would get excited and might frame you for some crime and put you in jail.
"What if I asked you to be the legal counsel for Qitian Animation Company?" Lin Yanwan suddenly chimed in, knowing her best friend's capabilities.
As the saying goes, everyone has their own area of expertise. While a company can make progress through learning and trial and error in its operations, it must hire professionals in the legal field. Otherwise, the company will definitely suffer a great loss in its future development.
For example, with the immense popularity of Tom and Jerry, many manufacturers are secretly producing and selling toys, figurines, and other merchandise without authorization from the company. Without professional legal guidance, even taking the other party to court can become extremely complicated.
Chen Yao glanced at her with great surprise. The words coming from Lin Yanwan's mouth were somewhat subtle. Didn't she have some inexplicable hostility towards her? Why would she want to recruit her?
Although, it's quite funny.
But, well, she's a woman, so it's understandable.
“It is possible, but…” She looked at Jiang Xia. The boss hadn’t spoken yet. Would her actions be considered overstepping her bounds?
"Some things aren't up to him, but up to me," Lin Yanwan said calmly. Without her permission, would Jiang Xia dare to hire a personal female secretary? She'd break all three of his legs!
"Oh, is that so? It seems Mr. Jiang is henpecked?" Chen Yao teased.
Upon hearing this, the other two held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Sensing the increasingly intense tension in the air, Jiang Xia nodded righteously: "In some aspects, strictness is necessary."
Chen Yao smiled noncommittally: "Actually, I was just joking with Shen Ying. I'm just a beginner and don't have a lawyer's license. Please don't take the consultation fee seriously. As for legal counsel, I'm not qualified yet. I suggest you find a more professional lawyer to avoid detours."
"Thank you for your suggestion." After saying that, Lin Yanwan turned and left with Jiang Xia.
Chen Yao pursed her lips, then suddenly called out to her, "By the way, boss lady, I really don't like your husband. Can you please tone it down?"
...
(Sorry, I haven't written much these past few days. It's all because married life has been so sexually fulfilling that I haven't been able to keep up my energy (＊／w＼＊))
