Beijing Qingdao Publishing House Office
Jiang Weimin was concentrating on drawing when his secretary hurried into the office and said softly, "President, there's a telegram from home. Section Chief Gu from the animation department has sent a telegram saying that he wants to report to you on the progress of the animation production at 10 a.m. tomorrow."
Jiang Weimin nodded slightly, looked away from the drawing, and said, "Okay, I understand!"
After a pause, Jiang Weimin asked again, "By the way, where is the fashion show team performing now?"
"I have finished the performance in Shanghai and am heading to Shenzhen now!"
The arrangements for the national tour were made by Jiang Weimin.
Based on the existing stores opened in big cities, the wonderful performances, like ignited sparks, set off a fashion craze in various places and increased the brand awareness of Lingyun Clothing.
Jiang Weimin thought for a moment and then asked, "Some time ago, a foreign clothing manufacturer wanted a clothing display person to go abroad for display. Is there any progress now?"
After the Canton Fair ended, clothing manufacturers in several Asian countries extended olive branches, looking forward to inviting clothing display teams to perform in their countries.
The secretary reported clearly: "The application has been submitted. There is no problem with the provincial leaders. Now the application has been submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"
Jiang Weimin looked serious and urged: "Let me know if there is any progress!"
This opportunity to go abroad is rare. It is not only related to the development of the clothing display team, but also can enhance the international popularity of Lingyun Clothing.
The next morning, Jiang Weimin arrived at the post office early.
The call came on time at 10 o'clock, and Gu Ziyi's familiar voice came from the receiver. Jiang Weimin hurriedly called him "senior brother".
"Wei Min, I'm calling you this time mainly to report to you on the progress of the animation production and some ideas!"
"Senior brother, tell me."
"Then let me tell you about the progress. We have completed three episodes of the animation!"
"Brother, the progress is quite fast now!"
Gu Ziyi smiled cheerfully: "Didn't you ask Japan for another group of people? They all arrived recently.
The progress has been much faster! Basically, we can produce one episode in one month now.”
“Is there any problem with dubbing and music?”
"Don't worry, everything is done according to your requirements. We specially hired a professional team to carefully create the music for the Monkey King's appearance.
Try to be as domineering and exciting as possible, and make sure the audience gets excited as soon as they hear it!" Gu Ziyi responded confidently.
"That's fine. At this rate, it should be broadcast in various countries by the end of this year!"
Jiang Weimin negotiated with the Japanese side that after the production of 10 episodes was completed, the series would be broadcast in a serialized format.
"At this rate, there will be no problem! All of us are working hard.
We are looking forward to our animation making a splash internationally!" Gu Ziyi's tone was full of anticipation.
Jiang Weimin thought of the key issue of talent training again, and then asked: "How is the personnel training going?"
"The group of people recruited from all over the country can work independently. In addition, the first batch of students from the comic book school have already graduated and have been assigned to the animation production department. They can get started quickly and are a great help."
"That's fine, but we need to train as many people as possible so that we can maintain the current progress after the Japanese leave."
"Wei Min, don't worry about that. The new batch of students has started recruiting. Since the first batch of comic book students graduated and joined the animation production department, there has been a huge response from the society. There are too many people who want to join.
But there is also a problem, there are too few people with a basic knowledge of painting, and not many students are recruited! "
"See if we can recruit another batch from across the country!"
"We have basically searched all the places we can in the country, so it's a bit difficult to recruit people on a large scale."
Jiang Weimin listened to Gu Ziyi's description of his current predicament, his brows furrowed and he fell into deep thought.
There are only so many people in the country who have the ability to paint and can get started right away, and there are almost no students with a basic painting foundation around Qingdao.
After a moment, Jiang Weimin's eyes flashed with determination, and he said, "Then we will recruit students from all over the country, just like taking the college entrance examination. We will publish the examination information, rules, and test templates in newspapers and recruit students from all over the country.
Gu Ziyi was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he suddenly realized and said in surprise: "Wei Min, this is to transform the comic book college into a university!"
This idea was so bold and forward-looking that it shocked and excited Gu Ziyi.
Jiang Weimin shook his head slightly and explained with a smile: "This is a matter for the future, for now we will focus on recruiting students.
At the same time, we will set the exam time to after the college entrance examination results are released! Avoid the college entrance examination. "
Gu Ziyi instantly understood Jiang Weimin's intention and couldn't help but laugh: "I understand, you want to screen again from the students who failed the exam!
Most of these students have a certain knowledge base. If they can pass our entrance exams and receive a little training, they may become good candidates for animation production.”
"Yes, that's what I mean." Jiang Weimin affirmed.
"There are 200 places available, and we can recruit students from all major cities. Brother, you can make the arrangements.
Brother, you are now very experienced, and I am confident that I will leave every aspect of enrollment to you.
From publicity and promotion, to organizing examinations, to the final screening and admission,
Every step is crucial, and we must ensure fairness and justice, and recruit students with real potential and enthusiasm."
Gu Ziyi nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Weimin, I will definitely get this done.
By the way, Weimin, I called you this time not only to report the progress, but also to discuss something with you."
"Brother, if you have something to say, please tell me!"
"You see, the TV penetration rate in our country is too low. Many cities don't even have TV stations!"
Gu Ziyi sighed slightly, with a hint of worry in his tone.
"After our animation is produced and broadcast in China, only a few people can see it, and even fewer TV stations can afford to buy the broadcasting rights. It is really difficult to make money in China."
"Well, I didn't think about making money in the country!" Jiang Weimin replied after a moment's hesitation.
In fact, from the very beginning, Jiang Weimin has focused more on the international market, as there is indeed no suitable soil for the development of animation in China.
"Wei Min, I have an idea!" Gu Ziyi paused and deliberately kept the question in suspense, but the excitement in his voice became more and more obvious.
"what idea?"
“One episode of animation is 30 minutes long. If we combine three episodes of animation together, it will become an animated film that can be broadcast in cinemas across the country!
In this way, according to our current progress of producing one episode per month, we can produce four animated films in a year!"
When Jiang Weimin heard this proposal, he was stunned at first, and then he was so excited that he almost stood up from his chair, "Brother, what a good idea! I really didn't think of this!"
Jiang Weimin's voice unconsciously rose several decibels, his tone full of praise and surprise.
"This will not only solve the problem of limited domestic broadcasting channels, but also allow more audiences to enjoy our animation works on the big screen."
"Wei Min, is it possible?"
"It's possible, of course it can be done, but it would be best if the movie could end with the Monkey King finishing a battle!"
"I understand all this. It's to ensure the integrity of the story!"
"Brother, I'm glad you understand! I'll leave the production of the animated film to you. I'll discuss the rest with President Song!"
"No trouble, no trouble!" Gu Ziyi was very excited that Jiang Weimin could approve of his idea, and a proud smile appeared on his face.
