My Animation Era - Chapter 746

Chapter 746 Naifly (for subscription)

Jiangchuan in April is overcast and rainy.

It has been raining for almost a week, and the humidity in the house is very heavy. I don’t know where to find a dehumidifier. After playing with it for a long time, I found that it is not very useful.

coincides with the Ching Ming Festival.

Jiangchuan City organized a grave-sweeping event at the Martyrs Cemetery. Gu Miao, as Jiangchuan’s top ten youths, was invited to participate in this event and was also qualified to lay a wreath.

Although Gu Miao hates all official and business activities, and hates showing off in front of the camera, he is still very happy to receive the invitation to the tomb-sweeping event organized this time.

Because it makes sense.

Compared to those banquets and business gatherings full of flattery and flattery, he was even more honored to participate in this kind of event.

From morning to afternoon, Gu Miao, who had finished her trip today, planned to bring Lao Gu and Aunt Chen home to have a meal together, but Lao Zhang didn’t have a rest during the Qingming Festival, and even brought a guest to visit him.

The guest is from abroad.

In the private room of an elegant and quiet private restaurant, Gu Miao met the representative of an online DVD and Blu-ray rental provider from North America, a bearded foreigner.

The bearded man was very direct, and before the food he ordered was served, he directly stated his purpose of coming.

The company he belongs to hopes that Wanbao will consider licensing the Blu-ray and DVD copyrights of its works to them.

“I need a reason.”

Gu Miao took a sip of her tea, and immediately said in confusion: “We have a partner in North America, and we have enjoyed working together for so many years. Why should we replace it with you?”

Poaching is understandable.

If the price offered is not bad, then Gu Miao doesn’t mind kicking away her former partner and cooperating with the company that the bearded man belongs to.

The premise is that the money is enough!

The premise of poaching the wall must be that the price is irresistible. Otherwise, he really couldn’t think of a reason for “Wanbao to quit”.

“First, our company is the largest online DVD and Blu-ray rental provider in North America. It is far more powerful than the other party, and the number of members is far more than the other party. We can provide you with a higher rate of return.”

After the bearded man finished speaking, he raised his second finger and smiled: “Second, our company is preparing to launch self-made film and television dramas and self-made animation projects. I think in this regard, our two companies will have a better cooperation model.”

“ah?”

Lao Zhang and Gu Miao were amazed.

What did they hear? This company, which is mainly engaged in DVD and Blu-ray video tape rental services, actually wants to make self-made dramas and self-made animations?

Waterfa?

What do they think? Isn’t it good to develop your own DVD rental business honestly? Are you really not afraid of being smashed into pieces when you plunge into the field of self-made dramas?

“We lack content!”

The bearded man spread his hands helplessly and said: “And you should all know that the copyright of the current high-quality content is really too expensive.”

Gu Miao and Lao Zhang nodded together.

Internet film and television animation copyrights are becoming more and more expensive, which is the consensus of the industry. Of those video sites that have scaled up, which one doesn’t pay for content?

A video site that loses billions or tens of billions a year, do you think the losses are all operating expenses? NO! It’s all the cost of buying copyright filler content!

The company that Big Beard works for is called naifly. Although it is mainly engaged in DVD rental business, it also has an Internet streaming media on-demand platform.

So they are unable to support the huge content purchase expenditure, and it becomes understandable that they choose to take the “self-made” route.

only…

“I don’t understand, what does this have to do with Wanbao?” Gu Miao asked suspiciously.

“We can work together!”

The bearded man waved excitedly: “We have enough markets and members, as well as strong distribution and promotion channels and resources, and you have a strong self-control ability.”

“Our cooperation will be a win-win situation. Wanbao’s animation works will be our main brand in the animation field.”

Sounds tempting…

Naifly is a platform that Gu Miao also understands. It is indeed as the bearded man said, they are very powerful, at least they are very powerful in North America.

Cooperating with them, Wanbao’s works will enjoy unprecedented preferential treatment in Europe and America, and more audiences and fans will see a series of Wanbao animations such as “Digimon” and “Guobao Attack”.

But here comes the problem.

How can there be a free lunch in the world?

What exactly does Wanbao need to pay for the cooperation proposed by the bearded man? Is it just a simple promise that Wanbao’s works will be listed on the Naifly platform in the future?

“Make an investment!”

The bearded man said with a smile: “We provide money and you provide people. Isn’t this the best choice? Of course, it would be even better if Wanbao is willing to accept our shareholding.”

“Don’t even think about it.”

Not to mention whether Gu Miao is willing to accept the shareholding, even if he is willing to accept it, he will not consider foreign capital like Naifly.

However, Gu Miao thinks that the so-called production investment of the bearded man is acceptable.

Big Beard’s so-called production investment refers to some animation projects, which are jointly produced and produced by Naifly and Wanbao.

“Their focus is in the field of self-made film and television dramas. For animation, they can only look for foreign aid.”

After seeing off the bearded man, Gu Miao took Lao Zhang back to the company, and exchanged in the office: “What do you think of Naifly’s proposal?”

“Partly accepted, partly rejected.”

Lao Zhang said with a smile: “There is no loss for us to cooperate, but the specific projects of cooperation need to be decided by us.”

simply put.

Wanbao can decide which project will cooperate with Naifly and which project will not cooperate, and take the initiative of cooperation in its hands.

Gu Miao thought so too.

Some projects can indeed be carried out together with Naifly, after all, the other party is the leader of North America and is very influential in the global market.

But there is no need for Wanbao to engage Naifly in some projects. For example, “Bear Infested” is an animation that is difficult to go abroad, and Naifly is probably not interested.

“That’s it.”

Gu Miao made a final decision: “For animated films, we cooperate with Hollywood giants. For TV animations and online animations, we cooperate with Naifly.”

Two-pronged approach.

Gu Miao couldn’t believe it anymore. Under such a premise, Wanbao couldn’t break out of Asia and go global, becoming a world-class animation company?

If none of this works…

It must be Naifly holding back with Hollywood, anyway, it has nothing to do with Brother Sanshui.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t walk out.

At worst, go back to your hometown, go back to Asia and continue to dominate! With Wanbao’s family background, even if it can’t become the number one in the world, it is still very stable to be the number one in Asia.

But then again.

Since Wanbao has decided to go overseas and focus its development on overseas markets, should it include Mr. Bear?

“Although I don’t want to admit it, but…”

Gu Miao hesitated again and again, but still said: “Maybe those evil animations created by Mr. Xiong can also be harvested overseas?”

“Well!”

As soon as he thought of Zong Xiaoxiong and the evil works he represented, Lao Zhang fell silent for a moment.

This kind of thing is not good, is it?

When I went out to buy cigarettes, I ran into my ex-girlfriend who broke up with me within a month. The child was over four years old. The little guy called me brother, and I couldn’t fix it…
