Chapter 113 Small companies jointly ask for permission to regard it as a word.
The date was adjusted to allow the director's family, who are "outsiders", to attend.
This is absolutely unbelievable and outrageous in any industry.
But the reality is that such a magical operation happened so miraculously, and it happened at such an important conference that will affect the domestic first-tier animation film market next year.
This can definitely be called "unbelievable" and unprecedented.
When Jia Wenyan learned all this, she felt so confused that her worldview was almost collapsed.
As the former vice president of Yongan College, she had convened traditional art workers from all over the country more than once during the establishment of Yongan College.
At first she thought it was just an ordinary opportunity.
But there are some things that you really only understand how difficult it is to promote an event when you become a "planner" and "organizer".
Especially for a conference like this where the participants are spread all over the country.
She knew very well how difficult it was to choose a suitable location and time among these people.
But who would have thought that this conference, representing the highest level exchange meeting in the "Donghuang Animation" industry, had to be rescheduled in less than forty-eight hours because of a "layman" like her?
Jia Wenyan: "Brother, let me ask you something. Are you sure that your Donghuang Animation Film Exchange Conference is a serious meeting?"
"Why do I feel like it's setting me up?"
"Well, young lady, although I did tell you a lot of outrageous things, can we still maintain a little bit of basic trust between people?"
"At least I haven't fooled you once so far."
"It will be too late once you are fooled."
Jia Wenyan: "Really, I can accept all the cooperation you mentioned earlier. I can even have no problem getting married with you as long as the conditions you offer are generous enough."
"But I don't understand, if this meeting you're talking about is really so important, then why should it be rescheduled for a layman like me?"
"Don't tell me that you used your reputation as the top box office star in the animation industry to tell them that you had no time to spend with your girlfriend."
"Uh..." Zhenshuang paused after hearing this:
"It is true that I need to accompany my girlfriend, and the rescheduling of the meeting is indeed very important to us, but if I have to say it, the source of this relationship is definitely you."
Jia Wenyan: "What do you mean? I am just a museum curator. Even if I hold something..."
"Qiudou Madai, don't tell me they are also interested in the IP in my hands?"
Although it was a question, at that moment Jia Wenyan was almost certain of this fact.
She has something in her hand that anime workers would like.
Aren’t those the traditional cultural IPs she has in her hands?
Although the Chinese comic facilities under construction in Yongan Amusement Park are also a very tempting attraction.
But for most animation and film and television workers, the most valuable thing should be their IP culture related to various traditional cultural skills.
As for the affairs of Yong'an Paradise, although Jia Wenyan also has certain shares and decision-making rights, Zhen Shuwang can also make the same decisions on the same matters in Yong'an Paradise.
Therefore, IP culture is almost the only possibility she can imagine at the moment.
But can these cultural IPs alone really make these animation workers willingly adjust their time?
Jia Wenyan, who had specially changed into an embroidered suit skirt, thought for a moment, then stared directly into Zhen Shuwang's eyes and asked:
"Don't tell me that all of them want to make an animated film in the style of Donghuang, and they all want support for intangible cultural heritage technology from me?"
Zhen Shuwang: "Bin Gou, congratulations on getting the answer right."
Jia Wenyan: "But why do they have to ask me for authorization? Doesn't the intangible cultural heritage have customized animation images...'
Zhen Shuwang: "Hmm, didn't you guess it?"
"They want the IP license for Journey to the West?"
"Yes."
Zhen Shuwang said as he adjusted the walnut bracelet in his hand:
"Isn't the new version of Journey to the West that you produced a masterpiece that already has the IP images of most of the main characters confirmed?"
"What they mean is that they hope to customize exclusive movies for the most popular characters in Journey to the West next year in line with its popularity."
"I think this is what you have been planning and preparing to implement."
"Yes, Yong'an College did have this idea at the beginning, but..." Jia Wenyan raised her head again after thinking deeply:
"This idea is very difficult to realize. Although we have designed many characters that are more in line with the aesthetic tastes of modern audiences than in the past."
"But the new animation of Journey to the West and the animated film are two completely different concepts."
Jia Wenyan: "Our new version of animation is a national animation created with the support of CCTV."
"Although it is also about seeking attention, for most viewers, they don't have to pay much to watch the new version of Journey to the West animation from beginning to end."
"Their only expense may be the VIP membership that allows them to see the next episode in advance."
"So in theory, when the national IP Journey to the West is re-released in a new version, most viewers who have a childhood memory of Journey to the West will choose to try it because they don't have to spend more money."
"So for them, as long as the visuals are good enough, there will be no shortage of positive reviews."
"But once it's converted into a movie, many things here will develop in another uncontrollable direction."
"People will pay for a video they watch casually, but they may not be willing to go to the cinema to spend money to watch the story of a supporting character."
"Even though this supporting character has a very good image in Journey to the West."
Zhen Shuwang: "That's why they called this meeting and specifically asked you to attend."
As Zhen Shuwang spoke, he gently used his hands to tidy up the hair that he had just messed up.
"Due to the unanimous positive comments from the audience on the production effects, after such a long time since the broadcast of New Journey to the West, more and more viewers have begun to regard the works designed by your Yongan College as the most irreplaceable animated images of Journey to the West characters."
"This also forces these film and television agencies to consider the image you designed when preparing related IP films."
Jia Wenyan: "But the question is, can they afford the design of Yongan College?"
"Of course, I'm not questioning their ability, but when we were creating the new version of Journey to the West animation, we were really at the peak of IP, technology and funds."
"The excellent original work made us not have to worry about the success or failure of the plot, so at that time we basically put all our energy into the production of the animation pictures."
"Among them, characters like the Dragon King of the East China Sea and Erlang Shen are the ones we put a lot of effort into."
"Don't forget what we did when we did those modeling."
"Although those characters don't appear as often as the main characters, it is precisely because they appear less frequently that we can create so many high-quality shots during the time they appear."
"If these were replaced by Tang Monk and his disciples who appear in every episode, we wouldn't be able to afford this level of "burning" even if we had more funds."
"Don't forget how many netizens were dissatisfied with the image gap between Monkey King and Sun Xingzhe when we made the scene where Sun Wukong got the golden cudgel and armor in the East China Sea and became the Monkey King."
"Our most popular supporting characters are remembered by the audience in large part because they only appear a few times."
"Some even directly make their debut as a highlight."
"We must admit that the reason why many supporting roles are remembered by the audience is because the clips they appear in are truly amazing, and they are frozen or even ended in that scene."
"There are countless examples like this in our New Journey to the West anime. Are you sure they are really capable of taking on such a challenge?"
"Even the most popular character, Sun Wukong, felt regretful about the image gap from the Monkey King to Sun Xingzhe. As for the remaining characters, who can be sure that they can withstand such a storm?"
Jia Wenyan: "Don't forget that Sun Xingzhe's appearance is the most impressive mythological image of Sun Wukong in the minds of the public."
"Even his highly recognizable image is like this, are you sure the audience can accept the image downgrade of the supporting actors?"
"Don't forget that the supporting characters don't have any basic appearance or styling from the lower-end stages. Unless the production companies have signed on to use high-quality "ace images" throughout the entire process, every image they design will face the judgment of the audience."
"I can even imagine what the audience will say."
"My XXX should look like this."
"The production company ruined the classics."
"If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job."
"You see, what I said is even relatively polite and can be said out loud. If you really encounter it, those trolls on the Internet will not be as friendly as I am."
Zhen Shuwang: "So we have also prepared an emergency plan?"
"What emergency plan?"
"It's the division of labor and cooperation between companies."
Zhen Shuwang: "The last time Journey to the West was outsourced, most of these production companies bid for the parts they were best at."
"For example, different units have their own strengths in character movements or scene ecology production, and what they want to do now is to combine their expertise and work with several companies to try to produce one or more works that can take over from The Story of the Stubborn Stone."
"And I can briefly tell you that right now in this venue, there are already people who have used this model and have achieved some staged success."
