While excited, Sun Chengshan did not forget to ask someone to invite Wang Xuan.
Although "Under One Person" was produced by them, the idea was provided by Wang Xuan, and the manuscript of the animation also came from Wang Xuan. Whether it can be considered a successful production has to be tested by Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan was also delighted to learn that "Under One Person" was produced. After all, this is the first anime produced since the animation department was reborn, and he provided the idea.
He came to the animation department. After a few pleasantries with Sun Chengshan, at the invitation of Sun Chengshan and others, he began to review "Under One Person".
In another time and space, when Wang Xuan traveled through time, "Under One Person" had already been produced for six seasons. Wang Xuan now has the scripts for the first four seasons, while Sun Chengshan and others have only produced the first season.
An hour later, with the help of fast forwarding, Wang Xuan finally finished watching the first season.
Worthy of being the core creator of the Torch Animation team, "Under One Person" produced by Sun Chengshan and others has a clearer video quality and is much smoother than the original version.
The quality of the original version is very poor because in the early stages of "Under One Man" production, the production budget was extremely low, unlike Sun Chengshan and others who had as much production budget as they needed. Wang Xuan has always had only one request for them, do whatever it takes and don't be afraid of burning money.
With a lot of money, the quality of the animation produced is not much worse.
"How is it?" Sun Chengshan looked at Wang Xuan with some expectation and some anxiety. Although they are confident in the animation produced by their team, "Under One Person" is after all the first animation they have produced since joining Tianhai, so it is inevitable that they will have some worries about gains and losses.
"Very good." Wang Xuan praised without hesitation, "I will ask the sales department to contact the video playback platform later. If the results are good, everyone will receive bonuses."
"yeah!"
"Long live!"
The animation department cheered again.
Although he has only joined Tianhai for a short time, everyone knows how generous the boss Wang Xuan is. The bonus he was talking about was not just three thousand dollars.
Just say that during the Spring Festival this year, they received year-end bonuses of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. This is a project they didn't succeed in last year. When "Under One Man" is released, if the results are good, it is estimated that the year-end bonus they will receive next year will be only a lot more than their normal salary.
For example, for the crew of "The Condor", it is said that when the year-end bonuses were distributed, the year-end bonuses received by each crew member exceeded their normal salary.
When Wang Xuan first took over Tianhai, Tianhai's various departments were extremely short of talent and almost paralyzed. Now four years have passed, under the leadership of Zhu Xu and Li Tao, all departments of Tianhai have been completed and filled with talents.
Of course, this also benefits from Tianhai’s good reputation in the industry.
In terms of employee treatment, Tianhai is notoriously wealthy in the industry and cannot even compare with several giant companies. It doesn't matter if the salary is good. Under the leadership of Zhu Xu and Li Tao, the working atmosphere within Tianhai is also famously harmonious.
As a result, no one knew how many people were trying to squeeze into Tianhai.
The current director of the sales department, Zhang Yan, came from Xingkong and has participated in the sales of many major projects of Xingkong.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Yan cannot be said to have changed jobs from Xingkong. As early as two years before joining Tianhai, Zhang Yan changed jobs from Xingkong. Due to the non-competition agreement, he moved to other industries for two years.
In the past two years, Zhang Yan has been paying attention to the industry and looking for his favorite next company. Tianhai stood out and became his target.
Two years later, the non-competition agreement expired. Zhang Yan contacted Tianhai immediately. He had never thought of becoming the director of the sales department, because the director of Tianhai's sales department was not vacant at that time and was held by Li Tao. Unexpectedly, Tianhai showed great sincerity for his joining. For this reason, Li Tao actually gave up his position as minister, which moved Zhang Yan deeply.
Little did he know that Li Tao's appointment as head of the sales department was only a temporary one. Because Tianhai has never found a candidate who can take on the functions of the sales department director. As for Zhang Yan, Zhu Xu and Li Tao are no strangers. After all, the entertainment industry is so big. Zhu Xu and Li Tao will definitely know which company has powerful management.
Zhang Yan is undoubtedly a powerful figure in the marketing industry of the entertainment industry. The two of them just didn’t expect that,
After Zhang Yan changed jobs from Xingkong, he never settled on a new job. Otherwise, the two of them must have taken the initiative to visit.
Fortunately, Zhang Yan took the initiative to send it to his door now, so Tianhai could not miss it.
Naturally, there is a director of the sales department, and the matters of cooperation in "Under One Person" are naturally left to the director of the sales department. As for the sales director's arrangements, that is his business.
Considering that this is the first animation produced by Tianhai Animation Department since its rebirth, in order to make "Under One Person" open to more people, Zhang Yan directly discussed three video platforms, Bilibili, Tudou and Kiwi.
In the past, whether it was "The Condor" or "Classmates", the cooperation method between Tianhai and Tencent was to directly sell the exclusive online broadcast rights to Tencent. As for how Tencent operates, Tianhai does not care. How much profit is generated after the broadcast is also with Tianhai. Nothing to do.
But not this time. This time "Under One Person" will be released on three video platforms at the same time without charging copyright fees. However, during the broadcast period of "Under One Person", the three video platforms must give "Under One Person" a fixed homepage recommendation position. Tianhai only pays dividends based on the number of views. For every playback generated, the three major video platforms need to give Tianhai 0.2 Chinese national currency.
In other words, in addition to forcing the three major platforms to provide fixed recommendation positions on the homepage, Tianhai has no regard for how the three major video platforms operate "Under One Person". How much advertising revenue can be generated has nothing to do with Tianhai.
Tianhai depends on the number of views.
Tianhai also wants playback volume.
In fact, the three major video platforms were a little reluctant to this kind of cooperation at first, but Wang Xuan's name was so easy to use. Zhang Yan only said that "Under One Person" was Wang Xuan's idea, and the three major video platforms were obedient. Sit at the negotiating table.
After discussing the cooperation, "Under One Person" began to prepare for release and made overwhelming publicity.
First, Tianhai’s official account released a news: Big news, produced by the ace team of Tianhai Animation Department, Teacher Wang Xuan’s first original animation "Under One Person" will be launched soon, and will be launched at 10 a.m. on March 25th on Kiwi, Station B, Tudou Video will be launched simultaneously, so stay tuned.
At the same time, the three major video platforms also officially announced the news of "Under One Person". The content is similar, mainly focusing on the promotion of "Teacher Wang Xuan's first original animation". Because the name "Wang Xuan" is really useful.
Sure enough, as soon as the four official Weibo messages came out, the Internet went crazy.
"Nani?"
"Wang Xuan's first original animation?"
"Wang Xuan can even do animation?"
"Is it the Wang Xuan I know? He doesn't have the same name, right?"
"A hammer with the same name and surname. This is official news from Tianhai. How many Wang Xuan are there in Tianhai?"
"But that's animation. Does Wang Xuan even know animation?"
"Who knows. I'm a little confused now."
"Wang Xuan was either filming "A Better Tomorrow" or directing "Dragon Movie" some time ago. When did he start working on animation again?"
"Isn't the person upstairs just stupid? What Wang Xuan's first original animation means is that the idea for this animation is Wang Xuan's. To put it bluntly, the animation script is Wang Xuan's original creation. The production is done by someone else. I didn't notice the official announcement of Tianhai In the news, it was specifically mentioned that this anime was produced by the ace team of Tianhai Animation Department?"
"Okay, scare me."
"But it's also very cool. I didn't expect Wang Xuan to even be involved in animation."
"As a lover of the second dimension, I feel like it's pie in the sky right now."
"Don't get excited yet. That's animation. Whether the animation created by Wang Xuan is good or not is a question. I don't dare to have high expectations anyway."
"Yes. The span from film and television to animation is too big, and Wang Xuan may not be able to hold it."
"If you ask me, Wang Xuan can just keep making movies and TV shows, why bother with animation? If he makes a mistake, won't his reputation be ruined for a lifetime?"
"You made a mistake? Are you overthinking it? When has Wang Xuan ever disappointed anyone?"
"That's right, Wang Xuan's products must be of high quality, no explanation."
"I believe in Wang Xuan unconditionally anyway. I will definitely watch "Under One Man" the day it is released."
"Together!"
.......
In addition to the discussion among the melon-eating masses, major media also reported on topics related to "Under One Person".
It's about Wang Xuan.
Traffic password!
If you miss it, you will be struck by lightning.
Thanks to this wave of discussions and media reports, Tianhai and the three major video platforms did not have to spend any money. "Under One Person" became a hot search, and it became more and more popular. It soon broke into the top ten. Five, finally settling on the second frame.
In other words, a major event has happened in China in the past two days, otherwise it would have been the most popular search topic.
Anyway, countless people are looking forward to "Under One Person".
The three major video platforms were overjoyed and started advertising and investment promotion for "Under One Person" and successfully completed the investment promotion.
After all, just the topic of Wang Xuan's first original animation has made "Under One Person" a hot topic and its popularity remains high. And facts have long proven that the works produced by Wang Xuan have never disappointed. Whether it is "Classmates" or "The Condor Shooting", or "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" and "A Better Tomorrow", advertisers have made a lot of money. The bowl is full of surplus.
The three major video platforms are rejoicing.
There is one video platform that is restless, and that is Tencent.
It’s no wonder that in the past, many film and television works produced by Tianhai have been cooperated with Tencent Video, but this time Tencent Video was excluded. As a result, Tenxin Video was a little suspicious that it had not done well enough and offended Tianhai.
To this end, the director of Tencent Video specially called Li Tao to inquire about the specific situation.
"Mr. Yang, you are worrying too much. Tengxin Video is great and has been doing very well. The cooperation between us is also very pleasant," Li Tao said.
"Then why did Tencent Video exclude us from "Under One Person" this time?"
"You're talking about this. Because "Under One Person" is a two-dimensional animation. The two-dimensional animation has more audiences at Bilibili, Tudou and Kiwi. Tencent is a bit weak in this aspect, and our Tianhai recently has a new salesperson. Director of the sales department. He had been in contact with Tudou, Kiwi and Bilibili before, so he chose them. I am also blamed for this. I should make it clear to the new sales director that we are important partners and let him Tencent Video has also been added. But now..." Li Tao explained.
He hadn't finished speaking, but Tengxin's director understood what Li Tao meant.
Now that the matter has come to this, it is useless to say anything else.
"..." Tengxin's director had no choice but to accept this fact.
In the final analysis, the current Tencent Video and animation areas are indeed half-dead.
But this incident also made Tencent’s director determined to develop animation.
After hanging up the phone, Li Tao shook his head.
In fact, what he just said was half true and half false.
Zhang Yan has connections with the three major video websites. It is true that he has connections. He forgot to tell Zhang Yan that the connection between Tianhai and Tengxin was false. Tianhai deliberately excluded Tencent Video. Because Zhang Yan said that no matter how optimistic Tianhai is about the future of Tencent Video, it cannot be tied too deeply to Tencent and put all its eggs in one basket. It's best to be more careful and give Tencent Video a sense of crisis, so that it can take more initiative when negotiating cooperation later.
Zhu Xu and Li Tao think it makes sense. So "Under One Person" deliberately excluded Tencent Video.
The time has come to March 25th.
It was Saturday at eight o'clock in the morning. Amid the expectations of countless people, especially 2D enthusiasts, "Under One Person" was finally launched on Station B, Kiwi, and Tudou Video, unraveling his mysterious veil.
