Chapter 397 Chinese Comics: Qin's Moon Launched
"Culture goes global. Qingyao Media announces the establishment of its Thailand branch. Qingyao Media President Tang Qing personally attends..."
A few days later, a piece of news reached China, and upon seeing it, many netizens who were watching the excitement could not help but start a heated discussion.
In the past two years, Qingyao Media has become incredibly famous in China. This media company, established just over three years ago, has grown at lightning speed. Its works are so familiar to everyone that every new release from Qingyao Media creates a sensation.
Qingyao Media's products must be high-quality. Netizens have brought this curse back to Qingyao Media, and whether it will eventually bring them down is anyone's guess. Companies that previously claimed their products were high-quality have all subsequently suffered serious setbacks.
Everyone knows that Qingyao Media is quite extravagant, but no one expected that it would now go overseas.
"Holy crap, that's awesome! Is Brother Yang planning to expand into overseas markets?"
"Why don't you go to Japan to start a company? I think Brother Yang can develop in Japan. Then take some photos, hehe, you know..."
"Fuck, are you talking about the kind where the director is also the lead actor and the cameraman? I think Brother Yang should give it a try..."
"Hahaha, I support Brother Yang's development in Japan. My hard drive is empty. If Brother Yang dares to take the video, I dare to download it..."
"You guys are so frivolous. You guys ruined a good thing..."
"That's awesome! Keep it up, Qingyao Media! Making money from foreigners is awesome..."
"When are you going to Hollywood?"
"Supporting the export of culture overseas is what makes it great. Being a bully at home is not a skill..."
"Support Qingyao Media, support Brother Yang..."
Netizens are all supportive of this matter. The overseas expansion of Chinese culture has always been something everyone looks forward to. Compared to its domestic performance, it would be exciting if a Chinese work could achieve good results globally.
This is why many directors have been obsessed with winning international awards in recent years. A film that is nominated for an award at a Cannes Film Festival or an Oscar can be boasted about for a long time.
If it were to win an award, it would be even more incredible. It would give people a sense of self-importance, and everyone would be proud of it. But it's actually quite sad to think that a Chinese work has to be judged by a bunch of Westerners with impure motives and different aesthetic standards.
It's really nonsense to say that your work has no artistic value just because it doesn't get an evaluation. Just ask those Westerners, how many of them understand Chinese culture?
Art comes from life and culture. They don't even understand Chinese culture, they don't even understand the lines, so they can understand the artistry of the work, that's nonsense. To put it bluntly, it's still the same Western routine. As long as you are willing to cater to their tastes, as long as you shoot the bad parts of China, then there is a high probability that you will be nominated by them.
If you describe something beautiful about China, haha, they won't even look at it. The so-called art selection has long since lost its artistic nature. Su Yang has always scoffed at such awards. Not to mention foreign awards, even domestic awards are too lazy to pay attention.
The audience naturally has their own standards for judging whether the work is good or not, and whether the acting is good or not.
Look at what's become of various domestic awards these days. Almost anyone can win an award, whether it's a song award or a TV drama or movie award. However, in the past two years, Su Yang's reputation within the industry has been poor, and these awards have eluded him. Although Su Yang has produced numerous works, with so many domestic awards, he hasn't even been nominated for a single one.
Qingyao Media's Thailand branch has officially been established, sparking heated discussions in China and an even bigger stir in Thailand.
Qingyao Media's Thailand branch was established with a registered capital of 3 billion baht. Tang Qing also rented an office building in the heart of Bangkok, where the massive Qingyao Media logo stood out prominently. On the same building, there were numerous other logos for Apple, Microsoft, and other top international companies.
The presence of Qingyao Media, an entertainment company, here is truly eye-catching, raising its profile several times over. Even the largest entertainment company in Thailand wouldn't rent an office building in this area because the rent is too expensive.
Besides renting an office building, Qingyao Media's Thai branch was also quick to act. Immediately after its establishment, news broke within the industry. Qingyao Media's first project was a film, with an estimated investment of 100 million Thai baht. Su Yang would be the screenwriter and director, and the film would also be released simultaneously in China.
As soon as this news came out, the entire Thai entertainment industry became lively.
Su Yang is the director and screenwriter, and the film will be released in China. These key elements have attracted the attention of Thai artists, who are well aware of Su Yang's talent. Su Yang is now very famous in Southeast Asia, and many people in the industry are even envious of his achievements.
"Those Years" was also released in Thailand a while ago and performed very well at the box office. A youth film like "Those Years" has grossed a staggering 15 billion baht worldwide, something even Thai artists wouldn't dare to dream of.
15 billion baht, that's too much. You have to know that the current box office record for Thai films is only 1 billion baht. Su Yang can just shoot a youth film and get 150 baht at the box office. The gap is too big.
Now, the opportunity has come. If I can participate in Su Yang's movie, I may even soar to the sky and have the opportunity to develop in China. Thai artists are too envious of that piece of cake in China.
So when the news was announced, the phone line to the newly established Qingyao Media Thailand branch was practically blown away. Many artists called, inquiring about the possibility of collaborating. Many of these artists were among Thailand's top artists, and they were once very arrogant and high-profile figures in the country.
But now, at Qingyao Media, no one dared to act like a big shot in front of Su Yang. They were completely on different levels. Their achievements, while dazzling in Thailand, were nothing compared to China and the world. Many flops in China had higher box office sales than theirs.
The Thai branch is very busy, but for China, it is only busy for a short time. Many domestic entertainment companies do not even look down on the small market in Thailand, as it is too small.
"A new anime is coming! 'Qin's Moon' will be available on all major platforms tonight. Remember to go watch it..."
In mid-October, Su Yang, who had been quiet for a long time, updated his Weibo again. During this period, Su Yang did not update his Weibo much, keeping a relatively low profile.
Seeing the updated content, fans became excited again.
The high-definition poster of "Qin's Moon" is really beautiful. It is also handsome and full of Chinese style.
At the same time, there is a key piece of information. On the left side of the beach, several large characters are clearly visible.
Chief Planner: Su Yang
This piece of news alone is enough for fans. Chief Planner Su Yang, this is another work of Brother Yang.
Brother Yang has not planned many animation works, but each one is very popular.
It was originally created to promote "Under One Person" planned by Su Xiaobai, and is now one of the most popular IPs in China.
Later, "The Monkey King: Hero is Back" became a box office dark horse, allowing everyone to witness the power of monkeys.
The third one is a children's animation. When the animation "Peppa Pig" was first broadcast, many netizens made fun of it. But after such a long period of preparation, they finally saw the power of this pink pig.
Nowadays, almost every child in every household knows this pink pig. Now, major shopping malls, toy markets, etc. have a large number of related IP products.
Peppa Pig's peripheral products are popular among children, including toys, snacks, clothing, and shoes, which are now selling very well in the children's market. In terms of profitability, the piglet is now more profitable than "Under One Person" and "Monkey King: Hero is Back."
All three works were planned by Su Yang, and each one is very popular.
Now, Su Yang's fourth project is here. "Qin's Moon," fans are excited after seeing the name and the poster. It's clear this project is for adults, and it's 3D animation—just awesome!
And this time it will be broadcast on all platforms, including Penguin, Youku, iQiyi, Bilibili, and Xigua Video.
"It's so cool! Finally there's new stuff to watch..."
"Can the updates be faster? One episode a week is too much torture..."
"As long as the work is good, it's worth waiting..."
"It's great that it's broadcast on all platforms, so I don't have to go to other platforms to buy membership..."
Fans are getting excited because there is a lack of dramas now. For anime fans, no matter how many anime they have followed, they still look forward to new works and hope that good works will come out.
Compared to TV dramas and movies, anime actually has more fans and a larger group of people. They are also more willing to spend money.
The news of "The Legend of Qin" spread quickly on the Internet. With Su Yang's current fame, his every move attracted the attention of many people.
At 6pm, when it was still dark in some places, Qin's Moon was officially launched on all major platforms.
When all the anime fans clicked on it, they all cheered.
"Fuck, they're showing 18 episodes at once..."
"That's awesome! I thought two episodes would be great..."
"Hey, pay-per-view, okay, the price is acceptable. The first three episodes are free, and the next one is one dollar..."
"As long as it looks good, it's still worth it..."
"Let's take a look first..."
Update, "Qin's Moon: Hundred Steps Flying Sword" has officially been updated on major platforms. And the entire season was released at once.
This season consists of eighteen episodes, but it's available on a pay-per-view basis. The first three episodes are free, and each subsequent episode costs one yuan. Major platforms are offering 10% discounts for members, and if you purchase the entire series, you'll also receive the same 10% discount as a member.
In other words, it only costs fifteen yuan to watch the whole drama, which is a completely acceptable price for many anime fans.
