Chapter 375 Konjac Anime (Please Subscribe)
Nakakai, Konjac anime.
CEO Qiu An's office was filled with smoke. If an unsuspecting person broke in now, he might think the office was on fire.
"Okay, okay, stop smoking."
Qiu An waved his hand to fan the smoke and said speechlessly: "I asked you to come to the meeting, not to smoke. Everyone should express their opinions."
"Mr. Qiu!"
"I think so..."
Shen Chuanjun, the content director of Konjac Animation and Qiu An's entrepreneurial partner, frowned and said, "Isn't it a little too hasty? It's about the company's business adjustment. How can we make a decision so quickly?"
"There's nothing I can do!"
"Mr. Wanbao Gu, just give me two days to think about it." Qiu An couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
Lao Shen is right.
It is related to the company's business adjustment, from original independence to "outsourcing vassal". For a content-oriented animation company, it is undoubtedly a moment of "life and death".
This kind of decision usually requires holding N meetings to solicit the opinions of the company's main executives and shareholders and partners, and then vote on it.
There is no such thing...
A phone call and a response within two days? Isn’t this embarrassing!
Of course, Qiu An can also understand.
Although Wanbao Animation has been concealing the progress of the production of the movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Snake Comes Around", as an industry insider, he has also heard some insider information.
What’s the inside story?
Of course, the film's "post-production" is not progressing smoothly, which may cause the film to be unable to be released on time, and there is a risk of "jumping".
At first, Qiu An only thought it was a rumor.
Judging from Wanbao Animation's active investment in "publicity and promotion", this is completely nonsense. After all, everyone has started to announce the release on a large scale. Do you think the movie will be delayed?
Isn’t this pure nonsense?
For a movie that is really at risk of "bounce", the producer and distributor will never be so active in promoting it.
However, it seems like something unexpected happened?
As an outsider, Qiu An didn't know what the accident was. Anyway, all he knew was that there was something wrong with the post-production of "Snake Comes Around".
This directly led to a significant delay in the film's completion time, and it is very likely that it will not be able to make it in time for the Spring Festival at the end of the year.
Then, Wanbao Animation became anxious.
Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui, a well-known figure in the domestic animation industry, personally called Qiu An and asked if he was interested in taking "outsourcing" orders to share the production pressure of Wanbao Animation.
The cakes painted by Gu Sanshui are not small.
He promised that if Konjac Animation agrees to cooperate, it will not only be the movie "Snake Comes Around" project, but there will be more projects waiting for them in the future.
In short, one sentence: "Hang around with my brother, I can keep myself well-off, drink hot food, and have no worries about food and clothing!"
Is Qiu An moved?
That must be exciting! As we all know, there is basically no possibility of "failure" in Wanbao Animation's projects. All animations produced by Wanbao are all hits and some are excellent.
Being able to ride on the big ship of Wanbao is undoubtedly a shortcut to "become famous" for the weak Konjac Animation.
What's more, there is money to be made!
Konjac Animation was established three years ago. Its main business is the production of "original" animation. It has currently launched two feature-length TV animations.
It looks pretty good, at least it has a masterpiece!
But only CEO Qiu An understands that Konjac Animation cannot make ends meet and is no longer happy. The two original animations produced previously had very poor profitability.
There is really no future in outsourcing.
But one benefit is obvious, that is, money can be made and the company can survive. And with the big tree "Wanbao" as my back, I can still live an extremely nourishing life.
Now comes the problem.
Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui has extended an olive branch, will you accept it?
Qiu An is inclined to accept it.
What bullshit animation dream? What kind of bullshit original dream? None of this is worth mentioning in front of a full stomach.
When he first entered the industry, he was full of confidence.
He felt that he was the kind of "one-in-a-million" animation genius who would definitely be able to produce a masterpiece that would "shock the world" and he would rise to great heights from then on.
pity……
Three years later, no matter how ambitious we were, they were all wiped out by the cruel reality. He has sacrificed too much to pursue his dream.
Keep chasing?
There is no next three years, nor is there the "deep pockets" of three years ago.
"Agree."
As Qiu An's college classmate and best friend, Shen Chuanjun had already seen through Qiu An's thoughts and sighed: "This is our best choice."
"yes!"
In the office, everyone nodded one after another.
Although it's a bit demoralizing, everyone has been working in the animation industry for many years. Don't you have a good idea of what you are capable of?
If you continue to be original, you will probably end up with nothing good. Perhaps Konjac Animation is just the last straw and the last work away from bankruptcy.
In this case, it is better to give up the fantasy, honestly transform into animation outsourcing, and live a more nourishing life.
Make money, don’t be shabby!
If possible, who wouldn't want to become a legendary animation producer like "Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui"? Who doesn’t want Konjac Animation to replicate the miracle of Wanbao Animation?
But the problem is that after so many years in the animation industry, there has only been one Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui, and one Wanbao Animation...
"Sometimes I really think that Gu Sanshui is not really a son of luck, a protagonist of destiny, right?"
Shen Chuanjun wondered: "Otherwise, how can we explain that he is such a stupid person that he can make animations so quickly, and his one movie is a hit?"
"That makes sense, hahaha!"
Hearing this, even Qiu An couldn't help but laugh.
Although everyone knew in their hearts that Director Shen's words were just complaints. But this does not affect the situation. Everyone takes this opportunity to make fun of the famous "Gu Maggot".
There is no way, this guy is too outrageous.
We are all animators. We even have higher education and more experience than you. Why are you so stubborn?
This is... quite unreasonable!
Since your strength does not allow you to defeat him, then use words to "slander" him. If you do nothing, wouldn't it make everyone look useless?
"Okay! Since everyone has no objections, let's end this meeting today!"
Qiu An put away his smile and said seriously: "I will reply to Mr. Gu right away, and you should also be prepared. This is our first project after the transformation, and we must not let things slip."
"clear!"
In fact, everyone understood the importance of this matter without Qiu An's instructions.
After all, Party A is Wanbao Animation!
As one of the top domestic animation companies, he is the undisputed leader in the industry. Even Wanbao Animation cannot handle a project independently and requires a large number of outsourced manpower. Can that be an ordinary project?
Think about it from another perspective.
If Wanbao Animation hadn't temporarily gone awry, would Konjac Animation be qualified to participate in a large-scale animated film project like this?
I’m afraid not!
