He put his hands clasped on the table and seemed very excited and excited.
"Okay, boss." After he issued the order, a slightly thin middle-aged man sitting next to him excitedly opened a file on his laptop and projected it onto the huge projector in the conference room. superior.
Other people present at the meeting also raised their heads with anticipation and looked at the content on the projector.
"Everyone, you are all the middle and high-level personnel of the company. You should already know that the two original animations our company shot in succession have failed in the market and have not achieved the market effect we originally wanted. This is , Mr. Huang and the leaders of the company are very dissatisfied." He looked back at the boss's face and found that there was nothing strange, then turned his head and continued to talk to everyone.
"Most of the company's funds have been spent on these two projects. But after encountering such a tragic Waterloo, the company no longer dares to invest any more funds and continue to produce subsequent original animations." When Zhao Weiqiang said this As he spoke, everyone in the company turned their heads and cast their gaze on the face of the manager from the animation production department who was so frightened that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
"So in this case, Mr. Huang made a huge and wise decision after careful consideration, that is, he will no longer produce independently developed animations, but directly learn from outstanding foreign animation companies!" Zhao Weiqiang continued to say in an orderly manner. , and at the same time, he showed a look of admiration on his face just right, and looked at Mr. Huang's face, which was expressionless and showed no emotion or anger.
"To be specific, after careful consideration, Mr. Huang decided to let us introduce the hit animated series "Slam Dunk" from dRm Company in Fuso Country!"
"You may have heard of this animated series."
"On the other side of the sea, our neighbors in a strip of water are very good at producing various animated series and animated movies. They are our teachers in this regard and have been ahead of us for about seventy or eighty years in experience and creative ideas."
"And this "Slam Dunk" is the best among them. It is the master of animation collection in recent years. Once it was aired, it has received rapid praise from them all over the country and has set a highest ratings of 5.9%. The ratings miracle!”
"And because the content of this animation is about high school students and basketball, it belongs to the category of sports and does not have any negative effects on ZZ. Therefore, when introducing this animation, the Copyright Bureau and the Cultural Affairs Bureau also gave the green light." Zhao Weiqiang explained to everyone while While introducing the specific situation of this animation, he kept clicking on the ppt page on the notebook in his hand, giving a comprehensive display of its broadcast situation in Fuso Country and related photos of social and cultural coverage.
Those were huge posters of "Slam Dunk" that were put up in major commercial places, tourist attractions, schools and other places.
There are also many cosplays of characters in the show, and photos taken in the streets and major attractions.
There are even many products, such as pens, notebooks, and schoolbags for students, all of which are painted with the "Slam Dunk" logo and character images.
It can be said that this animation has been deeply rooted in the hearts of Fuso Kingdom and has been welcomed and enthusiastically sought after by all citizens. It is not only a cultural symbol, but also a successful commercial image.
It is conceivable that the dRm company that produced this animation must be making a lot of money now.
"Mr. Huang is so tall that he can think of this move!"
"We should really introduce such good animations to China. While broadcasting them in China, we should analyze and study their production methods and make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses!"
"I also watch this animation at home, and the quality is indeed very good! After my son finishes his homework every day, he will pester his mother and ask her to help play two episodes of this animation online. Sometimes I will also watch it, indeed The plot is described so well!”
"If we bring such good animation back, we can let the people in the production department learn from it and stop wasting the company's funds and making idiotic works that no one will watch!"
"What does it mean to waste the company's funds? This is a project decided by everyone in a meeting, right? And your marketing department also dares to ask me whether you have tried your best and worked well when promoting your own promotions in the past few years. Shouldn’t you ask yourself whether your means and methods have improved?”
"Haha, you guys are already giving me face without even calling you Mi Chong. Don't you have some idea whether your work is good or not?"
"Haha, your finance department has the nerve to comment on our production department? Isn't it all because you think the salaries of several senior animators in our department are too high, and you insist on interviewing them and asking them to consciously lower their salaries to spend time with the company? Are you forcing people to leave because of difficult times?"
"Those are all old people... ahem... everyone is taking a salary cut to accompany the company to overcome the difficulties. Why can't they if others are taking a cut?"
"Haha, let the horse run again and don't let the horse eat grass, right? Sister Li, let me tell you, after this time, our production department must recruit at least three more senior animation producers! Otherwise, even if Even after learning from "Slam Dunk", we still can't produce their animation effects!"
"That's enough! Let's just have a meeting. Don't say whether we have these things or not!" As the boss, Mr. Huang, scolded, everyone in the office became silent.
As if they had not gone through the quarrel just now, everyone became calm and calm, and continued to look at the ppt in front of them calmly.
"Ahem, let me continue to introduce it to you. This animation has achieved great commercial success with them. After we introduce it this time, we will also imitate their business model and squeeze out the huge commercial value of this brand. The marketing department must work hard on this and discuss their character portrait rights and other commercial copyrights.”
"In addition, I would like to tell you some good news. When we purchased the copyright of this animation from them, we also made a request to them, that is, let them ask the author of the opening song of this animation "I really want to say I love you loudly" Jiang Kan re-produced a more powerful ending song for them, and also made a Xia Mandarin version of the ending song to facilitate our market operations." With that, he clicked the mouse and played the song he just mentioned. The first Mandarin version of the ending song - "Until the End of the World".
"The world is over!" A very explosive Fuso lyrics, like thunder, exploded in everyone's ears.
Then there was a melodious and high-pitched tone produced by the distorted vibrato of the electric guitar, as if it was preheating for the upcoming basketball event, gradually heating up the atmosphere.
"I have been walking alone in the cold forest for too long, like an empty can that has been thrown away. Who cares about the rust in your heart? That muddy hillside can end this loneliness. Then walk far away and travel towards the distant sky. ..." Jiang Kan's highly recognizable voice was like a stone thrown into the river, exploding huge ripples in their hearts.
The tone of the singing was very low, but not depressing at all. It was like a light shining from the darkness, instantly opening a sunny skylight in their hearts.
...A few minutes passed, and the song had ended, but everyone present was still immersed in Jiang Kan's beautiful singing and couldn't extricate themselves.
"Bah bang bang..." Mr. Huang was the first to applaud. The powerful appeal of the song struck hard at his already hardened heart.
Manager Zhao, who was sitting next to him, clearly saw the red eyes in his boss's eyes. So he also clapped his hands, trying not to exceed the boss's intensity, but still showing his excitement.
"Bah bang bang..." The other middle and senior management in the company saw this and clapped their hands vigorously.
After a while, the entire conference room was filled with applause. This applause was so penetrating that even the employees in the office next to the wall heard it and couldn't help but look at each other: What are the leaders inside doing?
"Very good, you did a good job!" When the applause gradually calmed down, Mr. Huang's expression returned to normal.
He waved his hand and expressed his opinions to his employees in an emotional voice: "This Mandarin version of "Until the End of the World" is really great! Not only did the singer sing it very well, but the lyrics were also adapted very well. Very close to the original work! I think just because of this song, our imported animation will definitely become a hit!" Mr. Huang's words were immediately praised and echoed by Zhao Weiqiang: "Yes, Mr. Huang said That's right, the new ending song they asked Jiang Kan to produce has already been downloaded 3.8 million times in Fuso in just half a month, and has strongly broken into the top 5 of the new song chart."
"I believe that the Mandarin version of this song in our country can have such a strong momentum even from the beginning, but it will certainly not be much lower than this number!"
"You know, Jiang Kan is going smoothly in China now and is famous! Not only has he suppressed Zhou Tianwang's songs for three consecutive months and won the first place on the new song list, but even one of his popular folk songs , were able to burst out with huge power through Zhao Tianhou's concert, instantly climbing to the top of the new song chart!"
"He is a talented composer in his own right, and he sang this song himself. I don't know how many of his fans will come to support our ratings after our imported animation is broadcast!"
"And if the ratings of this animation are high, we can also invite Jiang Kan himself to help us create promotional advertisements and use his popularity to carry out a wave of publicity!" Zhao Weiqiang switched the ppt page while writing for the company My colleagues and bosses sketched out the bright future of this animation, and their mouths were watering as they talked. What a dreamy and beautiful picture this is!
"Very good! Next, you can implement these plans properly. Let's take advantage of the fact that Jiang Kan has topped the new song chart for three consecutive months to promote this animation!" Mr. Huang stood with a happy face. He stood up and made a serious summary of the meeting.
"We must highlight the gimmick that both the opening and ending songs were composed and sung by him himself! We will try to use this gimmick to attract more cooperative manufacturers and increase the popularity of our peripheral derivative products! Everyone knows this What's going on? The meeting is over!"...the other side.
At this time, Jiang Kan, who didn't know that someone had planned on him, was making final preparations for rehearsals with several members of the band.
In Lao Zhou's own recording studio, the sounds of various musical instruments and songs were already heard.
"Blooming and never fading, blue lotus, ah~!" Jiang Kanqing sang the last line of lyrics passionately, and then shook the hand holding the microphone forward fiercely, feeling high and full of energy.
Lao Zhou and the others also seemed to have endless energy in their bodies and completed the ending part of the song very skillfully and accurately.
"Ha, Brother Jiang, the results of our rehearsals are getting better and better these few times. If we can perform like this in the game, it will be no problem for 32 to advance to 16!" Lao Zhou wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel. , stood up energetically and patted Jiang Kan on the shoulder.
"Yeah, I don't think we need to practice anymore, and we have to leave some way for other bands to survive, hahahaha!" Zhang Liheng put down the guitar in his hand, picked up the level next to him, and said confidently before drinking Full of laughter.
"Yes, we have rehearsed this song no less than twenty times. I can remember the entire score now with my eyes closed. I know it by heart!" Wang Shuai, the bassist next to him, also responded confidently. Hedao, the rehearsals in the past few days have allowed him to master several small skills in singing songs, and he has become more and more comfortable.
"Okay, now that everyone feels that they are familiar with it, let's practice until here. There are still two days left. Let's go back and have a good rest. On Saturday, we will try to give the audience in Chengdu and the whole country a big surprise. What a surprise!" After practicing it more than twenty times, Jiang Kan also felt that everyone was already very skilled in cooperating with this song, and practicing it further would only increase everyone's fatigue, so he readily announced a break.
"Hey, that's good. We must show our faces in front of audiences across the country this Saturday, so that everyone knows our music and our Dongyu band!" Lao Zhou waved hard in the air. He waved his fist and said domineeringly.
