The work of Shangmei Factory is naturally not a laborious job like laying bricks and tiles.

But in every studio, in the large studios where cartoons are filming, everyone is working attentively.

Not only did he not whisper and talk, but he even trotted when he walked through the aisle. This kind of work attitude made Yin Jun particularly liked.

No wonder even Leyiling admires the work efficiency of Shangmei factories and claims that they are different from ordinary mainland factories.

Yin Jun is not used to going around to inspect and will not accept any invitations to visit, but as the executive president of Kirin Group, Le Yiling is very busy.

She has not only been to the mainland, but also to Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore.

With Leyiling's intelligence, of course, he knows what is an excellent company and factory, and what is a truly promising company and factory.

After she looked at the excellent companies and factories in the entire Asian region, she realized that many factories in the mainland were actually lagging behind and would become increasingly unable to keep up with the times.

But Shanghai's American factory is different.

Leyiling sees a unique vitality here.

Whether it is their own ink and wash animation, or the new Japanese, American and American animation technology, or the development of various artworks, it can surprise people.

Although they do not have the foundation and strength of the United States and Disney for decades, this gap has become smaller and smaller thanks to their efforts and Yin Jun's continuous support.

It's funny to say.

Disney is all from Yin Jun, but Yin Jun is now focusing on cultivating Shangmei Factory, as if he is finding an opponent for himself.

When Le Yiling asked Yin Jun, the boy's answer was this.

"If there is not even an opponent, can Disney keep improving? Only when there is a strong opponent on the other side will their fighting spirit and motivation be more exciting."

When Yin Jun recalled Le Yiling's evaluation of Shangmei Factory in his heart, Yan Dingxian, the director of Shangmei Factory, was also introducing Yin Jun.

"Now our animation production is divided into 8 groups, and three of them have completed the task of making animations for domestic audiences." Yan Dingxian said, "The remaining five groups are all doing animation projects of Kirin Culture. Compared to domestic ones, these are actually easier to do."

"Oh? You should have worked very hard, right?" the boy smiled, "You have been doing "Oolongyuan" for more than 4 years, right?"

"It started in July 1980, and it has been 4 years and 9 months so far." Yan Dingxian suddenly sighed, "It has been so long before he knew it."

"Yes, but life passes too fast, just like yesterday." Chang Junxi next to him also smiled, "It has been 6 years since I went to Xiangjiang, but it seems like my eyes blinking. When I saw Jun Shao, I felt like I had just returned from Xiangjiang yesterday."

"I'm about the same, too." Hu Yi agreed with a smile.

Chang Shixi and Hu Yi are both backbones of Shangmei Factory, one from the Art Department and the other from the Animation Department.

When Qilin Culture was first established, its main business was the comics of "Qilin Weekly", so Yin Jun first borrowed Chang Junxi to be the general manager of Qilin Culture for two years, and then the second one to take over was Hu Yi, who also worked for two years.

Now that both of them are back, the general manager of Qilin Culture is also served by Le Yiling, and other departments have hired professional managers to manage it.

However, there are still hundreds of employees of Shangmei Factory staying at Qilin Culture. Together with the two major art academies in the mainland and employees of other art studios, they form the main force of the "Qilin Weekly" series.

As for Qilin Culture, most of the salary must be paid to Shangmei Factory.

This fee is really not low. Shanghai American factory can now get a share of millions of RMB a year.

According to Yin Jun’s knowledge, Shangmei Factory has made great progress over the years.

They used to live on state funding, so they would definitely not be hungry, but they would not be very wealthy.

Otherwise, Yan Dingxian would not have taken the risk of reaching a cooperation agreement with Yin Jun.

Since cooperating with Kirin Group, Shangmei Factory has earned its own income.

In 1982, their income exceeded 20 million yuan!

Don’t underestimate this income. You just need to think about it. In 1982, the per capita salary in the Shanghai Stock Exchange was only about 50 yuan, and you will know how huge a 20 million yuan was.

By 1983, their net profit reached 30 million, and last year, with the addition of the Dragon Ball project, their income reached an astonishing amount of RMB 60 million!

In the past four or five years, it only cost 20 million yuan to build so many houses and office areas!

Money in this era is really valuable.

It was in the second half of last year that the country suddenly relaxed many price restrictions, causing prices in the Shanghai Stock Exchange to soar, and the value of money shrank a little.

In terms of actual purchasing power, the average salary of 100 yuan at the end of 1984 is not as much as that of about 90 yuan at the beginning of 1984.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, the salary benefits of units that can afford more, better and more spacious fund-raising housing construction will definitely be very good.

The per capita salary of Shangmei Factory reached 400 yuan the year before yesterday.

It was originally 500 yuan last year, but seeing the price rise in the second half of the year, the salary increased again in October, reaching 600 yuan a month.

In addition, New Year’s goods at the end of each year are even more indispensable.

Nowadays, the various New Year goods worth thousands of yuan, such as chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, vegetables, clothes, shoes, etc., are very enviable.

This was equivalent to the annual salary of factory employees with poor efficiency.

Of course, the one they need to thank most is Yin Jun.

Then the second thing I have to thank is that Chang Junxi and Hu Yi, who led a group of employees of Shangmei Factory to Xiangjiang to create the "Qilin Weekly".

Now the two people who have returned to Shangmei Factory have become deputy directors of Shangmei Factory under the recommendation of Mr. Wan and Mr. Te.

Yin Jun gave several cartoons to Shangmei Factory, and thanks to their active efforts, he was able to snatch the transaction of Asahi Group.

Five cartoons, "Oolong Courtyard", "Hidden Life in the Rain Forest", "Tomb Raider", "Chinese Primary School Master" and "Dragon Ball", have been aired worldwide.

According to the customs of each country, the prices and ratings of these cartoons are also very different.

Among them, the one with the best selling and the highest ratings is of course "Dragon Ball".

The production fee for each episode is only 250,000 yuan, but the overall price sold has already exceeded 10 million yuan per episode.

The price difference is so big that it really surprised Qilin Culture’s own people.

This is the power of controlling intellectual property rights. Although the Shanghai American factory has put in great effort, they can only charge according to labor and cannot get the most benefits.

But then again, they were very happy to receive 250,000 yuan in one episode.

The production process of this kind of cartoon drama is actually not complicated, and with the previous experience, it is relatively smooth when you are familiar with it.

Some domestic cartoons are different. Not only do they require more original content, but they also need to be written more interestingly. The most important thing is that they must be very detailed in production.

It is often common for a group to take 3 months to produce an animation of about 5 episodes.

This is also why Yan Dingxian is easier to do than domestic ones.

"Although the mainland cartoons seem to be more complicated now, and there is no other income except some funds, it does not mean that they will have no value in the future." Yin Jun continued with a smile, "If we can keep the originality more and create more cartoons that are familiar to people... in the future, we can use these cartoons to make movies, play in cinemas to make money, sell books in bookstores, and sell toys in toy stores, can we make money like Kirin Culture?"

"With the current level of intellectual property protection in China and the profit-oriented style of those stall vendors, it may be difficult!" Hu Yi shook his head in disbelief, "Look, aren't there any stolen derivatives sold in Xiangjiang? Jing.com came to check and ran away, selling things everywhere. It's really hateful!"

Yin Jun smiled and said, "Don't lose the courage to imagine the future just because the present is not good! It may not be changed in ten years, but what will happen twenty years later? Thirty years later? What will happen forty years later? Our Shanghai American Factory is an old brand. If the predecessors work so hard, the future will always benefit from it."

"You said that, you are very insightful and very emotional!" Chang Junxi couldn't help but exclaim.

Not only him, Yan Dingxian also nodded repeatedly.

Yin Jun’s idea is very bold, but he is focused on starting his efforts now and is looking forward to the future of the children who will gain something in decades. Such a mind is really something that ordinary people can do.

Of course, the few people would not want to get it. Yin Jun was expressing and admiring the efforts of their generation.

If it weren't for their persistence, how could it be that after more than 30 years, the movie version of "Black Cat Jing" could still be seen on the big screen?

Although the box office is not very good, this big movie also made money.

If it is done more carefully, the box office may increase by 30 to 50 million, and there will be no problem.

If the people behind him are more successful, "The Gourd Brothers" and "The Sky" can also be made into a series of big movies!

Unfortunately, another good cartoon series "Big Ear Tutu" created by the Shanghai American Factory in the future is not able to compete with other cartoons.

The huge Shanghai American factory has become a decline after more than 30 years, which is really amazing!
