Xiao Qian carefully examined Hu Tiesheng's expression and came to a realization.
"Minister Hu, you're not here to talk about Sailor Moon, are you?"
Hu Tiesheng was stunned, his eyes flashed brightly, and he gave Xiao Qian a thumbs up.
"Comrade Xiaonan said you were smart before, but I didn't believe it. Now I'm convinced. If I hadn't seen your appearance, it would be really hard to connect your wisdom with your age."
Xiao Qian waved her hand and said calmly: "I just endured the talent that I shouldn't have at my age."
The three people opposite looked at each other.
I have seen many children, but this is the first time I have seen such a shameless child.
This is difficult to do.
Children are already difficult to deal with. If you continue to be shameless, wouldn't you be invincible?
Hu Tiesheng wiped his cold sweat and knew that all tactics were useless, so he had no choice but to confess.
"I heard Comrade Xiaonan relay the views of classmate Xiao Qian before. Do you think animation is not just for children?"
Xiao Qian waved his hand and began to correct his mistakes.
"Minister Hu, many of you have mistaken a concept. That is, the industry you are engaged in is not animation, but animation."
Hu Tiesheng scratched his head, a little confused.
People like him who come from the traditional animation industry will indeed be confused.
"What's the difference between animation and anime?"
Xiao Qian was very melancholy. Who said he had no tuition for giving lectures?
"Animation simply refers to the content you are currently engaged in, and animation is a combination of animation and comics. Many themes of traditional animation are derived from fairy tales, with fresh, simple, true, good and beautiful content, so it is very suitable for education
It is also suitable for children to watch. But comics are different. The subject matter of comics will be more extensive, and there are also similar story elements to other film and television works. If animation is the romantic starry sky for children, then comics are for adults.
Utopia.”
Yu Zhengnan didn't believe it.
"Sir, who cares about this?"
Xiao Qian pointed to "Sailor Moon" on the table angrily.
"You don't like watching? Then why don't you let go?"
The vivid examples were enough to convince Hu Tiesheng and others. Looking back, Xiao Qian said: "You have limited animation to children, which is why you are in today's predicament. Adults who have greater spending power have been abandoned by you. This is
That’s the key to why you can’t become bigger and stronger.”
Hu Tiesheng was taught, but he was also in a dilemma.
"But if we produce a work like this, the TV stations won't broadcast it."
Xiao Qian was already prepared for the limitations of people's thinking in this era, and was not surprised.
"Why do you have to focus on TV stations? You can use the resources at your hand to open animation magazines. After you have a certain audience base, you can then put well-produced animation works on the big screen. Wouldn't the stage be even bigger?
?At that time, the TV station will naturally be willing to make changes for you."
"Into the cinema?"
Hu Tiesheng, Yu Zhengnan and Bai Qingxue all exclaimed, never expecting Xiao Qian to be so heartbroken.
Can cartoons also enter cinemas?
"What are you talking about? Why can't cartoons enter movie theaters? The first cartoon in the world was played in movie theaters. Aren't your popular movies "Havoc in Heaven" and "Nezha Havoc in the Sea" also shown in movie theaters?"
Well, the three of them accepted the ironclad fact.
However, Hu Tiesheng was still a little confused.
"But times are different now. In the past, there were no televisions. If you wanted to watch cartoons, you had to go to the cinema. But now that TV series are entering thousands of households, who is still willing to spend money to watch cartoons in the cinema?
"
Xiao Qian said firmly: "That's because your works are not good enough or new enough."
The reality of his previous life gave him the courage to say this.
"There is almost no innovation in China's animation industry at present. Not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of works. Either they cling to those mythical stories, or they are complacent in terms of self-righteous entertainment and education. There are no good stories,
Without good technology, there will naturally be no good works, and naturally there will be no way to attract audiences.”
Not only did he just say it, he also gave real examples.
"I believe you should pay attention to RB's animation industry, right? There are also European and American ones. Do you think their works are for children? What is the intention of their works? Why can they do it but you can't?
arrive?"
Of course, it is impossible for Hu Tiesheng not to pay attention to the developments of his peers.
In fact, with the deepening of reform and opening up, and more and more contacts with the outside world, European, American and RB animations have had a considerable impact on Chinese practitioners.
However, Hu Tiesheng also had difficulties.
"Classmate Xiao Qian, you don't know. We are too restricted in doing this. We are also powerless. Besides, we don't have such strong funds to support it."
Xiao Qian stood up, stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder.
"Uncle, you must have subjective initiative. Don't wait for instructions or permission from superiors. You must use your intelligence and talents and seize opportunities. If there are difficulties, you must overcome them. If there are no difficulties, you must overcome them. You are so beautiful.
Is it difficult for a big manufacturer to start a cartoon magazine? After having influence and readers, is it difficult to make money?"
Hu Tiesheng and Yu Zhengnan left, deeply shocked.
When they appeared again, there were actually seven people instead of three.
Xiao Qian wanted to complain, are you Calabash Kids?
But looking at the old lady and grandfather in the center, I still held back. You still have to respect the old and love the young, especially when one of them is Xia Weizhang.
"Grandpa Xia, why are you with someone from Shangmei?"
Xia Weizhang pulled him over and held him tightly in his arms, as if he were some great treasure.
"Hmph, if Director Ma from Shangmei hadn't contacted me, I wouldn't have known that you were working on cartoons. You said you didn't study music properly, so why are you working on that thing? That thing has music.
Okay?"
When he said this, the old lady became unhappy.
"Xia Weizhang, what do you mean? Why do you look down on us who make cartoons? We are all serving the people, who is superior to whom? Humph, your bourgeois ideas must be seriously criticized."
Only then did Xia Weizhang realize that he had said the wrong thing, and his stalwart body became rickety.
"You, can't you give me some face in front of my children?"
Xiao Qian stuck her head out and looked at the old man and lady suspiciously.
"you……"
He guessed right, Xia Weizhang and Ma Yulan, the factory director of Shangmei, were husband and wife.
I have to say that this circle is really too small.
After learning about the relationship between Xia Weizhang and Xiao Qian, how could Ma Yulan not make good use of it?
Sure enough, with Xia Weizhang sitting next to him, Xiao Qian really couldn't let go of anything.
"Xiao Qian, Minister Hu told all of us about the opinions you put forward after he returned. We discussed it and felt that what you said was right. We really cannot wait and rely on it. We must give full play to Shangmei's subjective initiative and cannot drag the country down.
So we decided to start a cartoon magazine that belongs to us in the United States."
Xiao Qian was in awe, she didn't expect Shangmei to be so courageous.
You must know that China's professional animation magazines started quite late, which resulted in the crazy influx of RB animation and European and American animation and plundering the market.
Among them, the impact and influence suffered by China's animation industry is even far greater than that of China's film and television industry.
Although next year, China's first animation magazine "Picture Book King" will appear. However, this magazine actually still follows the traditional route, and neither the content nor the form is liked by readers.
So it was short-lived and eventually died without any disease.
It was not until 1998, with the appearance of "Animation Era", that Chinese people knew the word animation for the first time.
But by that time, it was too late.
RB and Europe and the United States have completely seized the market with their complete animation production industry, suppressing the Chinese animation industry.
When Hu Tiesheng, Yu Zhengnan and others found him, he was just doing his best and listening to fate.
Unexpectedly, Ma Yulan and others were so courageous that they actually took action.
It can be seen that the pressure of survival is indeed the greatest driving force for human progress.
The reason why the Chinese animation industry did not reach this stage in the previous life was because no one gave them guidance, so they had no choice but to sink in the struggle.
Now Xiao Qian's words cleared the air for them, and they immediately grasped it tightly.
"At present, the application for the establishment of the magazine has been approved, but we still have no idea how the animation industry will develop as you mentioned. Can you elaborate more?"
Feeling the sincerity of Ma Yulan and others, Xiao Qian stopped hiding it.
"If you want to develop and expand the animation industry, you can't rely solely on one factory in the United States. Animation is meant to be seen by a wide range of readers, so no one knows better than themselves what the majority of readers like to see. I think the magazine is operating
At the same time, we must be open to all rivers and not set barriers to allow more comic lovers to join. At the same time, we must provide generous returns for good animation works so that people who love this industry can survive on animation."
Xiao Qian was afraid that Ma Yulan and others still clung to the concept of a state-owned factory and did not understand the strategy of retaining talents with high salaries.
If we want China's animation industry to develop, it is very necessary for the grassroots practitioners to ensure their survival.
If nothing else, you can see the benefits of doing this if you look at how RB's cartoonists, Akira Toriyama, Takehiko Inoue, Yoichi Takahashi and others have grown through their works.
Being able to gain rich fame and fortune through their works can stimulate authors to become more involved and create better works.
If you don't understand this, the animation industry won't be able to thrive.
Xiao Qian just said these words and opinions out of the simplest ideas and thinking that China's animation industry can become bigger and stronger.
He hasn't thought about how big an impact his actions will have.
But later, what he did gradually spread within the industry, and many people regarded him as the founder of the new era of Chinese animation.
This also allowed him to gain a large number of fans, which provided huge help to his entertainment empire.
