Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 189 Animation Production
"Mr. Li, these are our animation company's plans for the next round of animation production after research. Please take a look!"

"Okay, Cherry, please help..."

In the office, Li Wannian called Zhong Chuhong's name out of habit, but when he said it, he realized that Zhong Chuhong had already left.

"President Li, you..."

"It's okay, just give it to me!"

Li Wannian did not explain Cai Zhizhong's concern, but directly spread his hands and asked Cai Zhizhong to hand him the report.

After receiving the report, Li Wannian flipped through it casually.

"The next round of animation production plans: "Dragon Ball", "Oolong Yuan", "Parasite" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"

"That's right! According to our company's survey, these comics will have the best results when adapted into animations!
Although "Dragon Ball" and "Oolong Yuan" were serialized for a short period of time, they are the most popular. Although "Parasite" has been completed, its popularity is still good. Readers have been looking forward to it for a long time. As for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although it is not very popular, it has a wide audience. As long as it’s done well, it’s easy to gain attention and export it overseas! "

After two years of rapid development, Shenlong Animation is now not only the well-deserved number one animation production company in Hong Kong Island, but also a first-class company in Asia as a whole, no worse than some of the old animation companies in Neon!
Moreover, due to the broadcast of a series of animations such as "The God of Death", Shenlong Animation has become famous in Neon. Now, when talking about the works of Shenlong Animation, Neon TV stations will attach great importance to it.

"Are you busy enough to come?"

The reason why Li Wannian asked this was because Shenlong Animation was currently producing two animations, namely "Death" and "Gundam". As a result, he reported four animations at once, doubling his workload.

"Mr. Li, you don't know something. The company has recently recruited a large number of new people who have just graduated and are waiting for new projects to be implemented!"

In the past two years, Cai Zhizhong has not only mastered the company's animation production, but also trained new people. If he wants to do big things, he can't do it without anyone.

Li Wannian nodded first, then looked at the information in front of him and thought for a moment before saying: "I will not consider "Parasite Beast" for now, the current conditions are not suitable!"

Since the plot of "Parasite" is somewhat bloody and does not comply with some of Hong Kong Island's policies at this time, Li Wannian decided to postpone it.

After all, there is a 20-year gap between the comics and animation of "Parasite" itself. It shouldn't last that long in this time and space, so it doesn't hurt to postpone it for a few years. After all, this comic is destined to be a niche comic.

"As for the other things... you can do "Dragon Ball", but for "Oolong Yuan", leave it to Two-dimensional! As for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"... I need to contact you first before I can give you an answer!"

Compared with Hengshan's comics, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" painted by Zheng Wen has more unique and novel characters, and ink elements are also added to the paintings.

Although "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not very popular in magazines, there are no negative reviews. In fact, everyone is too familiar with this story.

As Cai Zhizhong said, to adapt it into animation, the market acceptance should be very high, but the question is how much investment should be appropriate?
In addition, what kind of animation can be produced by relying on an animation company with Hong Kong Island and Wanwan as its core?

Li Wannian felt unsure.

I'm afraid that they will make it into a red cliff style of slashing people or fighting for the Eastern Han Dynasty. After all, Hong Kong people have always been petty and petty. It is really embarrassing to expect them to make an epic-level animation.

As for who is the most suitable to make animation on this theme, it is undoubtedly Mo Ying.

A group of artists in that factory, as long as they are given enough money, can definitely produce the effect Li Wannian wants.

However, although DreamWorks is currently making a lot of money, money does not come from the wind after all, and we cannot let ourselves spend it like this!
The best way is to bring in another victim.

For a while, Li Wannian vaguely had a plan in his mind, which was to jointly produce an epic "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with Shenlong Animation taking the lead, Neon Fang investing, and Moying Factory producing.However, it is very unrealistic to achieve this immediately and requires Li Wannian's active mediation.

Cai Zhizhong felt really bad when he heard that he had made four suggestions, but three of them were rejected.

Although Shenlong Animation is now far ahead in Hong Kong Island, DreamWorks Animation has also made rapid progress. Although their technology is not as good as Shenlong Animation, and the animations they produce are mainly of the "Pokémon" type, DreamWorks has money. ah!
Unlike Shenlong Animation, which is solely owned by Li Wannian, DreamWorks has a wide range of businesses and is about to go public. There is no shortage of money at all!
Although the two companies are said to be born from the same mother, there is still internal competition!
Everyone has their own selfish motives, how can Li Wannian calm them down with just one word?

"Are you okay?"

Li Wannian, who was thinking, came to his senses and found Cai Zhizhong still standing in the office.

"No, then I should first communicate with President He of Two-dimensional magazine?"

"Well, just communicate normally!"

Since DreamWorks is about to go public, everything must begin to be formalized.

Even if both companies belong to Li Wannian, the following processes must be followed. Otherwise, if one is not good, the consequences may be jail time.

After walking out of Li Wannian's office, Achan, who was guarding the door, immediately approached him.

"Mr. Cai, how are you doing?"

"Go out and talk!"

This is DreamWorks. If we are talking about the animation department of this company, I am afraid that it will reach other people’s ears tomorrow.

"Mr. Li only agreed to produce "Dragon Ball" and refused everything else!"

"Ah? Why is this?"

After arriving at the basement and entering his car, Cai Zhizhong told Acan about Li Wannian's decision.

Acan, on the other hand, looked dissatisfied.

"Just be content, at least the cash cow "Dragon Ball" hasn't escaped!"

Nowadays, the "Dragon Ball" comic is becoming more and more popular, and it is not only popular in Hong Kong Island, it has already become popular in Neon. In this case, everyone knows that if this comic is animated, it will definitely be a big money-spinner!
"This "Dragon Ball" belongs to us. Apart from our company, who else has this strength?"

Acan disagreed with this.

However, there is nothing wrong with what he said. Currently, the only company in Hong Kong that can technically reach this level is Shenlong Animation.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now! Mr. Li's attitude in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a bit strange. I will test it more later! You concentrate on driving!"

Cai Zhizhong broke into a cold sweat when he saw Acan driving across the line and almost colliding with the car on the opposite side.

"Hey, Mr. Cai, don't worry, my driving skills are absolutely fine!"
