Rebirth of the Father of Anime

After the completion of "EVA", the animation department has long been determined by "Four Wheels Kid", "Slam Dunk", "Gintama", "Mobile Suit Gundam", "Stupid Test Summoned Beast" and "My Neighbor Totoro", Five TV animations and one theatrical version of animation production tasks are full.

Fortunately, the animation of "Sailor Moon" was finished before, and the production team was also vacant. It happened that both of them were girl anime animations, except for the different themes, and the styles were similar, so He Chen immediately asked them to continue to make "Good Thinking Tell you".

"I want to tell you" does not have any battle plot, its production process is much simpler than "Sailor Moon", so the production progress is very fast.

After the production of "EVA" was dubbed, submitted for review, and everything passed, He Chen still needed to discuss the schedule with the TV station.

The plot of "EVA" He Chen used the first 24 episodes of the original TV version and the old theatrical version that was later completed after Anye Rabbi became rich. A total of 30 episodes, one episode per day, was broadcast for exactly one month.

For the broadcast time of "EVA", he requested a prime time.

The golden file is called the "golden file" because it is more expensive than gold. At this time, it is the time when the audience is the highest. Therefore, the golden files of TV stations all have their own important programs.

Due to the length of the show, etc., they are all different. Therefore, if you want to give He Chen a full month of synchronized playback time for the prime time, you must wait for the core programs they are currently playing to finish, and make adjustments to the broadcast time of each subsequent program. .

They have cooperated with He Chen several times, and the cooperation is very pleasant. The TV station paid great attention to He Chen, a golden sign that brought them huge benefits.

Therefore, every time He Chen is asked in advance if there is a new animation in the near future, and what schedule is required for the new animation, and they have to make program arrangements for this in advance.

When the filming of "EVA" started, the TV station had already prepared the prime time for its premiere.

However, He Chen's eyes didn't stop there.

This time. He not only wants to let audiences across the country see "EVA", but also wants the gospel of "EVA" to spread to the world.

"He Chen, long time no see!"

At He Chen's house, Quincy Jones from Universal Pictures came to visit and greeted He Chen with a strange accent in Chinese.

"Quincy, it looks like you have been pretty good lately. I almost can't recognize you."

He Chen also greeted Quincy familiarly.

"He Chen, are you laughing at me for getting fat? I blame the **** high-calorie food. I still prefer Huaxia. Not only does it have a lot of delicious food, but it is also very nutritious and healthy. I have been in Huaxia for a few years. I have never had a stomach problem. But in our case, although the greenest food is advertised, I have to go to the hospital for my stomach at least once a year."

Quincy touched his already somewhat prominent belly and complained to He Chen.

He Chen chatted with him and talked freely about Chinese food culture.

At this point, regardless of the East and the West, China is a recognized country of cuisine. The paradise of food, as long as it has something to do with eating, even three days and three nights can't be finished.

But Quincy couldn’t wait that long. After chatting for a while, he went straight to the subject: "He Chen, your work, we also listened to your opinions when adapting it. There is absolutely nothing to hide from the box office, you should I will give you a lot of the money I got. It’s a pleasant cooperation for us!"

"Yeah! Very happy." He Chen brought Quincy some fruit, but Quincy didn't want to eat it, so He Chen said as he ate it by himself.

"Then why did you contact Fox? It's not a good idea. As long as we agree to your adaptation conditions, will you continue to cooperate with us in future works?" Quincy said eagerly.

"I've never said this before. What I said is'priority'." He Chen corrected Quincy's language trap. The two scored clearly. The initiative of the former is in their hands and the initiative of the latter. The right is in He Chen's hands.

He Chen went on to say: "I feel that you are not interested in the introduction of "Dragon Ball" animation. In that case, of course we are going to find Fox who is very interested in this."

Universal Pictures also has its own TV station, so when it introduced the other three movies, it was fortunate to have seen the animation of "Dragon Ball". Quincy took it very seriously and reported it to the company.

As the "Dragon Ball" animation became popular on the Internet, it caused a "kung fu" hurricane to the entire Western world.

Huaxia, comics, porter, dragon ball, monkey king, kung fu, etc., have instantly become the most popular words nowadays.

Young people follow the trend of reading comics one by one, and even use the classic lines in it as a mantra.

But all products related to comics are very popular.

So Universal Pictures decided to introduce "Dragon Ball."

However, He Chen couldn't give up on the price of "Dragon Ball."

The cost of "Dragon Ball" is very high. For China, He Chen can hold the idea of ​​"contributing to China's animation industry" and set the price according to the general animation. But for foreign countries, He Chen will not be soft-hearted. Who makes them a "developed country" whose per capita income is several levels higher than that of China?

Without relying on them to recover the cost of "Dragon Ball", what would He Chen do for the next film-level animation?

Although Universal Pictures is rich in wealth, they are not a prodigal. Although they can afford this price, they are not yet the best psychological price. So Universal Pictures started a tug of war with Tianman, hoping to lower the price.

Tian was not in a hurry, and slowly talked with Universal Pictures. By the way, I heard that Fox, Warner, Columbia and other companies were also very interested in the animation of "Dragon Ball", so they had some cordial and friendly talks with their messengers.

Seeing this situation, Universal Pictures was anxious.

This is not the same as the said script!

So Quincy Jones was thrown by Universal Pictures to Yenching. If this matter can't be solved perfectly, he probably won't have to go back.

"How come? As long as it is your work, we are all very interested!" Quincy immediately stated to He Chen, and said: "There must be some misunderstandings. This time I am here to solve these misunderstandings. "

"Well, you know the "Dragon Ball" thing. You must know how high his cost is. You must know how high his value is. You must know better than me. The last time I ask, I will not compromise on the price. , Do you still want "Dragon Ball"?" He Chen asked lightly.

This price is also the highest price that Zhou Zhe can accept after in-depth analysis.

Fox has already shown the intention to move, and this is He Chen's confidence in not giving up.

Unless all the TV stations in North America unite to boycott He Chen animation and make him unable to sell it.

However, they are all merchants who come for money. Although Zhou Zhe’s price is very high, since it is confirmed that they can accept it, they must have sufficient profits.

How can a qualified businessman have trouble with money?

"He Chen, you deceived me... I thought you had created so many wonderful stories, and I was willing to make "Dragon Ball" for fans at all costs. He is a great artist dedicated to anime, but now I look at it. , You are a cunning businessman who fought hard for money!" Quincy said grievously to He Chen like a little girl who thought he had been deceived.

It sounds like he is not such a person.

He Chen curled his lips: "You have made up your mind again. When did I become an artist?"

"Everyone thinks you are an artist."

He Chen shook his head and smiled: "Money is very important to me. Without money, I can't make animations. Only when I have money, can I make movie-level animations like "Dragon Ball" for everyone, even beyond it. Animation! Money is my tool for making animation."

"I don't understand you." Quincy shrugged and said to He Chen, "This cooperation is very unpleasant, but even if it is unpleasant, Fox won't be able to get it. Let's continue to cooperate."

He Chen smiled slightly: "Now something has changed."

"! Do you want to sit on the floor and start the price? How can there be a businessman who is so dishonest to you! If you dare to increase by a dime, Tianman's products will never enter North America! We are still influential in Universal Pictures!"

"The price will go up a bit, because this time there are two works. "Dragon Ball" and "EVA" are sold in packages, and "EVA" must be released globally at the time I set."

"We only need "Dragon Ball." After hearing He Chen's price, Quincy frowned.

Packed, the price has not risen much, it can be said to be very cheap, but for the broadcast schedule of "EVA", Quincy feels very troublesome because of the need to adjust the time of many programs.

The popularity of "EVA" comics is too low. Although it seems to be highly rated, Quincy has no interest at all.

"If you don't need "EVA", you won't have "Dragon Ball"." In any case, He Chen used all means ~www.NovelMTL.com~ to let "EVA" enter the world's TV stations as much as possible.

"...Well, you won." After thinking for a long time, Quincy was finally convinced by "Dragon Ball" and agreed to He Chen's condition.

He thought that even if "EVA" is unpopular, as long as it bears the title of "the original author of "Dragon Ball", it should be worthy of his value.

However, this will also be the business with the greatest potential in his life.

The enthusiasm for the North American market finally attracted the attention of the proud European market.

Prompted by those European toy dealers who had long been collaborating with Tianman, several TV stations came to China to watch and introduce animation.

He Chen also negotiated with him the world premiere plan of "EVA".

So "EVA" animation, which was produced earlier than "I want to tell you", was released after "I want to tell you". (To be continued.
