Chapter 651: Prepare for a Rainy Day: Hitting Disney's Weak Point
"Come on, let me show you something..."
In the office, Su Yang stood up. Tang Qing looked at Su Yang and got down from his desk, her face full of curiosity.
The two men walked out of the office and went directly to the animation subsidiary.
The company was very busy. After seeing Su Yang and Tang Qing, some people nodded slightly and continued to work.
The animation subsidiary has expanded significantly, and the layout is easy to navigate. Inside, you'll find project departments one after another. Each project is independent, so you can simply go to the project department you're looking for.
Tang Qing rarely came to the animation company to hang out. After all, she was in charge of the overall situation. Most of the time, it was the subsidiary company's boss who would report on the work, and the rest of the work was delegated.
Looking at the dazzling project department, Tang Qing realized that the animation company already had so many IPs without realizing it.
"Actually, the animation company has been preparing for this for a long time, and a head-on clash with the Hollywood giants was also anticipated. Two years ago, the animation company launched a number of projects. These projects are our reserve ammunition, and now it's almost time to use them..."
Su Yang said with a smile, which made Tang Qing laugh. She looked at Su Yang with a look of tenderness, admiration and as expected.
To prepare for a rainy day, Tang Qing and Su Yang now have a clear division of labor for many things in the company, especially those related to projects. Tang Qing is in charge of the overall situation and handles major matters.
Su Yang is responsible for various projects of the company. As the company's project director, this is a very stressful job.
The two men walked to the deepest part of the animation company and stopped at the entrance of a project department.
There was actually a security gate at the entrance of this project department, with a security certification on it. Unless you were a staff member inside, no one could easily enter.
There is no specific name on the entire project department, only a huge X sign.
"This is the animation department, X. Their role is to stockpile ammunition. They produce projects that aren't needed right now. You can think of them as spare tires, ready to be used whenever needed..."
Su Yang's teasing words made Tang Qing laugh. So this was what Department X was like. But now Tang Qing was even more curious about it, wondering what exactly was in the animation company's back-up plan.
Su Yang and Tang Qing entered the interior, passed through the security gate, and then passed through another gate before finally entering the department. And inside the department was another world.
It was like another small company, with many separate departments, but they were only numbered. Everyone worked on their own project team, and the various project teams kept confidentiality.
"Hello, President Tang, Hello, President Su..."
Seeing Tang Qing and Su Yang come in, everyone greeted them warmly. Some even had a burning look in their eyes, because everyone working here was waiting, waiting for their projects to be officially confirmed. Seeing their painstakingly crafted work go unreleased was heartbreaking for them.
So people in the entire project department sometimes joke with each other and ask when their projects will be picked up by General Manager Su.
"There are currently over 30 projects in production here, and some have production cycles exceeding two years. Now that Disney has taken action, it's time for us to fight back. We now have the power to maximize our profits..."
Su Yang said seriously that some projects had not been brought out before. It was not because they had to wait for Disney to make a move, but because Su Yang felt that some projects needed to maximize profits.
In the past two years, some of Qingyao Group’s channels have not been established, especially global channels.
Now Qingyao Group’s global channel has been established. With this channel, the profits of a work can be maximized.
This is especially true for animated works, which have a longer lifespan and rely primarily on peripheral products for profitability. Therefore, before the entire pipeline is established, the profit from a good work will be much lower. Therefore, Su Yang would rather reserve some projects than lose money in vain.
The two men opened the door to Project Team 2. The area inside was vast, and every employee was busily working. After Tang Qing entered the project team, it felt like she had entered a second dimension.
The walls of the entire project team are hand-painted with many patterns by employees. At the same time, the project department also displays many figures or toys. These things are not available on the market. Obviously, these are the peripherals of this project.
Tang Qing was not surprised by this, because each project department had a small processing equipment that could process small parts.
The project department of the animation subsidiary is well-staffed, and each project department not only has animation production personnel, but also designers and technicians from the toy company.
They will join the entire project from the beginning, and their task is to make suggestions for the animation, which are based on the feasibility of toy construction, to ensure that the toys can reach a more perfect state in the future.
Thanks to the participation of toy designers, the animation company's animation-related toys can now be perfectly presented. Interconnection and interaction are the advantages of Qingyao Group.
“This is a robot.”
Tang Qing asked curiously as she looked at a huge peripheral toy in the project department.
The entire toy is in a corner of the project department. It is more than two meters high and looks particularly cool. The entire toy exudes a metallic luster. It feels cool to the touch and is full of metallic scent.
"To be precise, it should be called Transformers! This is an Autobot. The setting of this animation is very interesting..."
Su Yang smiled and introduced the setting of Transformers to Tang Qing. At the same time, he also introduced some things about this animation to Tang Qing.
This animation project was launched very early, and the entire project department has been working on it for more than two years.
"This animation uses 3D animation, and it has cost a lot of money in the past two years."
Su Yang took Tang Qing into the project department's screening office and directly opened the first episode of "Transformers" to watch.
In the screening room, the first episode of "Transformers" began to play. Tang Qing's eyes widened when it officially started playing.
“This is CG animation.”
Tang Qing couldn't help but ask, "This animation is so realistic. It feels like the real world." This kind of animation immediately reminded Tang Qing of the CG animation in AAA games. But those top-notch CG animations are so expensive. Every second is a waste of money."
Seeing Tang Qing's puzzled look, Su Yang laughed. The fact that Tang Qing was so surprised showed how good the Transformers were. It also proved the power of the new technology. Compared to the original work, the new technology was the real killer!
