Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 84 Calabash Baby: I want to be the first day tour in Asia
As soon as the words fell, everyone present looked at Zhao Ye in astonishment.

Zhao Ye smiled and said, "After I buy the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, I will immediately invest an additional 5000 million RMB in the studio. In addition..."

Before the words were finished, the huge investment of 5000 million yuan had stunned the employees of the studio.

Shanghai Animation Film Studio has never seen so much money.

In the past, the production of cartoons in China was funded by the state according to needs. After the cartoons were produced, they were given to TV stations for free.After the reform and opening up, the Shanghai Animation Film Studio needs to be responsible for its own profits and losses.But at this time, RB cartoons have entered the Chinese market, and the cartoons are still free.This left Shanghai Animation Film Studio with no countermeasures at all, and its decline was a foregone conclusion.

Zhao Ye continued on his own: "In addition, our Wujiang Group is developing games, and the Shanghai Animation Film Studio will soon receive the task of several feature-length cartoons! These cartoons will follow the development of Wujiang Games. It exploded and aroused the fanatical pursuit of players all over the world!"

Finally, Zhao Ye smiled and said to the people in the studio: "Oh, by the way, I plan to increase everyone's benefits. The monthly salary will increase by 20%. The employees who left before can let them come back and continue to engage in animation production. Of course, the production The studio will no longer want people who commit crimes and harm public interests."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted into enthusiastic cheers.

"Boss Zhao is arrogant!"

"Long live Boss Zhao!"

"Boss Zhao, when will you buy the studio? I can't wait!" Someone in the crowd asked loudly.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He won the support of the employees of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio with only a simple and crude method of raising wages, so much so that they even desperately hoped that he could buy it immediately. their factories.

"Now you can!!!"

After Zhao Ye finished speaking, he turned to look at the government leader, "Leader, look, can we sign a contract directly here now?!"

Mayor Zhou Bowen nodded with a smile: "No problem, you can sign the contract now!"

After speaking, applause and cheers erupted all around.

"Clap clap clap!!"

So, at noon that day, Zhao Ye signed a purchase agreement with the government in the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.

Keeping his promise, Zhao Ye officially announced to increase the wages of the studio's employees, and asked the studio to transfer the money to the studio as soon as possible.

After sending the city leaders away, Zhao Ye ordered the director of the factory, Xu Xiangming, to call all the senior executives of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio to the office for a meeting.

"Director Xu, since the reform and opening up, how many people have resigned from Shanghai Animation Film Studio?"

Zhao Ye sat on the first seat and looked at the factory director Xu Xiangming on the right.

Xu Xiangming thought for a while and replied, "There are about 200 people..."

"So many??? It's a bit beyond my expectation." Zhao Ye said in surprise, his brows furrowed slightly.

Xu Xiangming sighed: "In the past, the state was responsible for the bottom line, and we were only responsible for making cartoons well, but now we have to be responsible for our own profits and losses. However, making cartoons does not make money, and the life of the studio is getting more and more difficult. Even the employees Sometimes their salaries can’t come out. But, after all, many people have to support their families, so they have to find other livelihoods! In fact, many of them love the animation industry very much, and making classics has always been everyone’s A dream. Unfortunately, the reality is too cruel..."

When Xu Xiangming said this, his voice choked up.

Hearing this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but sighed, he could understand these people who were leaving.

If you can't even eat, what are your dreams?

"Try to find them back. They belong to the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, and their talents cannot be wasted. I guarantee that here, they can not only live well, but also realize their dreams!" Zhao Ye said sincerely and solemnly. Said.

"Well! I will try my best to contact them and ask them to come back!" Xu Xiangming nodded heavily.

"Um,"

Zhao Ye nodded softly, and then changed the subject, "This morning, I just took a quick tour of the studio. I haven't learned about many things in detail. Director Xu, please give me a detailed introduction to the studio's current situation. Animation project in the works."

"Okay, boss." Xu Xiangming nodded and started to introduce, "Currently, our studio has five animated short films, Nuwa Mending the Sky, Big Flower and Little Flower, Toothless Tiger, Snatching Pillow , clip to save the deer.

There is only one animation series: "Calabash Brothers"

Zhao Ye was surprised when he heard this. He didn't know much about the five animated short films, but he knew very much about the "Calabash Brothers" series of animations.

When it comes to which animation is the most famous by Shanghai Animation Film Studio, it is probably the "Calabash Brothers" animation series.

"Gourd baby, gourd baby, seven melons on one vine.

No fear of wind and rain.

la la la la..."

A familiar melody sounded in Zhao Ye's mind.

This song feels a bit brainwashed. Most people who have almost heard this song can sing a sentence or two.

Xu Xiangming was still introducing at this time: "The "Gourd Brothers" series of cartoons are paper-cut cartoons, which mainly tell about 7 magical gourds and 7 brothers with outstanding abilities. ..."

Ou Xiangming saw that Zhao Ye seemed to be particularly interested in "Calabash Brothers", so he introduced the plot of the cartoon in detail.

"It is said that there are scorpion spirits and snake spirits imprisoned in the gourd mountain. A pangolin accidentally pierced through the cave, and two goblins escaped. The people have suffered since then. The pangolin was rescued by an old man. In order to destroy these two gourds. The old man got a gourd seed and planted seven big gourds of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, but the goblins peeped through the wishful mirror. They couldn't destroy the gourd. There are seven gourds, and the old man who rescued the gourds will be arrested. The seven gourds mature one after another, and they fall to the ground one after another and become seven barefoot little boys, wearing seven colors of clothing..."

While listening to Xu Xiangming's narration, Zhao Ye pondered in his heart how to turn "Calabash Brothers" into an IP.

The plot of Super Mario is the plot of the plumber saving the princess.

Let's do something similar... brother calabash to save grandpa? ? ?
Hmm, I feel like I'm messing around!

Super Mario just transforms by eating mushrooms. I have seven gourds with different colors and different functions, which are more abundant than Super Mario.

"Boss, do you think the plot of "Calabash Brothers" is okay?" Xu Xiangming asked Zhao Ye after the introduction.

Zhao Ye smiled and replied: "The plot is good, I think it will be popular all over the country, I want to develop a game based on this cartoon, and let players all over the world like it!"

"I want to make the Seven Cucurbit Brothers the number one group in Asia!"

Xu Xiangming felt his blood boil when he heard the front, but his expression was a little astonished when he heard the back.
