Chapter 124 Animation Production

Hasegawa Yoko was in deep thought, and everyone was hiding ambitions in their hearts. Hasegawa Yoko had the idea of ​​independent StudioDEEN from Hitoshi animation for a long time. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, he does not have this ability at present, mainly in terms of funds.

Although StudioDEEN Studio has good technology, if it is separated from Risheng Animation, it will inevitably need to buy a lot of machines and also recruit various corresponding animation talents. But if you want to obtain these, it is not easy to not have enough funds.

Historically, StudioDEEN Studio only left Risheng Animation two years later. Moreover, StudioDEEN Studio, which had just left at that time, could only work for other animation clubs in a short time. After having enough funds and strength, another two years were wasted. It was not until 1984 that it began to produce theatrical animations. It has to be said that the importance of funds to animation clubs.

"Chairman Hasegawa, you don't have to worry about the funds. As long as Tianxia Club successfully acquires StudioDEEN Studio, I will allocate another 300 million yen to support the progress of the animation club!"

Seeing the hesitation on Hasegawa Yo's face, Zhao Chen's eyes flashed with a bright light. As long as hesitation is enough, there is hope of being acquired. Zhao Chen said this undoubtedly to increase the success rate of acquisition.

"Three hundred million yen!" Hasegawa Yo murmured to himself. Three hundred million yen said it was not much, but it was quite a lot for the current StudioDEEN studio. With this money, StudioDEEN can buy enough machines and will have the ability to make independent production at that time, which is a huge temptation for him.

Hasegawa Yoko finally agreed. In his opinion, it was difficult for him to refuse whether it was the acquisition price of 200 million yuan, or the rights and funds that Zhao Chen would give him soon. After all, StudioDEEN may have gained some fame in the industry due to the relationship between "Doraemon" during this period, but he does not have the corresponding strength and foundation. In other words, if he missed this village, there was basically no store. It was because Hasegawa Yoko agreed.

However, any acquisition requires slow negotiation. After all, it is related to the interests of both parties. In the end, Zhao Chen spent 250 million yen to successfully acquire all the equity of StudioDEEN Studio from Hasegawa Yo. However, there was no change in the rest. Hasegawa Yo continued to serve as the chairman of StudioDEEN.

When Hasegawa Yoko announced that StudioDEEN Studio was acquired by Tianxiashe, no one in the studio opposed it. Instead, they felt a little eager to try it out. They knew that StudioDEEN Studio would likely make a leap, not to mention that Zhao Chen increased their salary as soon as possible in order to stabilize the morale of the army!

StudioDEEN is just a studio after all, and the acquisition procedures are not troublesome, but it is relatively difficult to be independent from Risheng Animation. However, under the offensive of Silver Balloons and some accumulated connections, Risheng Animation finally had to agree that StudioDEEN Studio became independent from Risheng Animation.

StudioDEEN Studio had just left Hitoshi Animation and then moved from Hitoshi Animation headquarters to Chiyoda District, not far from the World Club headquarters.

Zhao Chen then used 300 million yen to acquire various machines in short supply of StudioDEEN, and secretly instructed Hasegawa Yo to use his connections to dig up various talents in short supply of Risheng animation.

After all, Hasegawa Yo has been in Hitoshi Animation for five years and has accumulated a lot of connections in this area. Naturally, he is quite familiar with the road. He directly used high salaries to dig out various scarce talents from Hitoshi Animation, thus filling the gap.

When StudioDEEN Studio was acquired by Tianxiashe, this time, both comics and animation giants were undoubtedly more vigilant about Tianxiashe, and the restrictions in secret began to increase. It was because Tianxiashe's development speed was too fast, so they naturally hoped to be able to limit it.

As for the sources of funds from Tianxia Society, these companies have investigated one after another, and were surprised to find that the funds came from Xiangjiang. As for the specific sources, they did not find out, but their tentacles were just reaching into Xiangjiang.

After having his own animation club, clothing factory and toy factory, Zhao Chen's funds have become short of money again, and he is undoubtedly unable to continue other acquisition plans in a short period of time.

In just over a month, StudioDEEN Studio not only became a real animation club, but also purchased a batch of machines and the entire animation club was truly operational.

Its business has also been expanded due to the relationship between machines and technicians. In addition to the production of original TV animation films, it also has two businesses: rubber disc production and animation works, selling. Perhaps it is far less complex than Risheng Animation, but it also has the ability to produce and sell independently.

Among them, the production of rubber discs is just to make another amount of money, but the industry is not yet developed now, and the main reason is that the projectors that play rubber discs are not very popular in island countries. It will take at least a lot of time to really make a lot of money with this project.

Another business is that Hasegawa Yoshi uses high salaries to poach several management and technical personnel of RiSheng Animation. These personnel also have their own connections, so they have channels for planning and sales.

After StudioDEEN animation club got on track, the first animation produced was not "Doraemon" or "Rebellious Lelouch", but "Football Player"!

In Zhao Chen's opinion, although "Doraemon" is classic, it is not a comic work of the World Club. As for "The Rebellious Lelouch" which won the Nebula Award, the requirements for technology and machines are undoubtedly quite high. At least the current StudioDEEN animation club does not have this ability.

That is, for this reason, only four works that can be produced are left: "Football Young Player", "Three Sisters of Cat Eye", "Baseball Heroes" and "Sailor Moon".

Among them, "Baseball Heroes" was directly excluded by Zhao Chen because the number of serialized episodes was too small. "The Three Sisters of Cat Eyes" and "Sailor Moon" were both female protagonists. It undoubtedly requires the animation club's better technology to avoid degradation in quality. Therefore, the final choice can only be "Football Young Player"!

Moreover, Zhao Chen has another psychological consideration. Among them, "Football Young Player" is undoubtedly a very good test piece. If it is successful, the world society will also benefit from it.

After confirming the first work of StudioDEEN Animation Club, Zhao Chen left the island country again and turned to Baodao.

This time I went to Baodao was a pure surprise for Zhao Chen, mainly because he received the nomination for the Golden Horse Award and had to go there.

Before this, we have to mention the script that Zhao Chen sold to Shaw Brothers and Xiang Xiaqiang at that time.

The script sold to Xiang Huaqiang is "Chasing Girls", directed by Wang Jing and Fatty Wang, and released by Princess Jin. Due to the good relationship between Zhao Chen and Shao Yifu, the movie Zhao Chen sold to Shao Brothers is "Dao Ma Dan"!

These two movies, which were originally more famous in the future, were released this summer vacation, and their main opponents are Cheng Long's "Police Story" and "The Tribulation of War" introduced by Anle Cinema!

This year's summer vacation can be said to be the spring for movie fans. They were so excited that they watched it. These four movies have their own advantages and different styles, including art films, war films, police and gangster films and comedy films. But they all have one characteristic, that is, they continue to sweep the box office of Xiangjiang. Among them, three of them are movies written by Zhao Chen.

These four movies continued to sweep the local box office in Xiangjiang, and in the end, "Police Story" and "The Dao Ma Dan" broke through tens of millions of box offices. As for the box office of the other two movies, the box office was very close to tens of millions.

It can be said that this time, the four major theaters have fought to the point of being equal, and no one can do anything to each other, but they also earned a considerable box office income for them. Therefore, Zhao Chen's name once again appeared in major newspapers and magazines in Xiangjiang, and became the most famous screenwriter in Xiangjiang.

Although a million-dollar script is expensive, many filmmakers still tried every means to buy it, but they were turned away without exception. Zhao Chen is no longer that poor boy, so he would not care too much about the profit of one million Hong Kong dollars.

Among them, "The Dao Ma Dan" is one of the rare art films that are both popular and well-reputed. It not only brought a lot of benefits to Shaw Brothers in the box office, but also made no choice in the nominations.
