Chapter 45 Is Pleasant Goat over?
Reissue doll?
This batch of Pleasant Goat dolls were all brought from China and cannot be purchased in the neon market. And there was no time to temporarily transfer goods from China.
He was stared at by a group of "unsatisfied" fans, and there were even a few little kids pulling at their trouser legs, clamoring for Pleasant Goat dolls.
What can Gu Miao do?
Of course, spreading his hands means that the free dolls have been given away, but Gu Sang can still get the paid dolls...
The premise is that it will take some time.
The main reason why the peripheral toys of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" are not favored by neon dealers is that the "import" cost is too expensive.
So we couldn't reach an agreement before.
With the establishment of the Wanbao (Neon) Division, this obstacle no longer exists. Even if the Neon Division does not build a factory, it can still authorize the production and sales of neon toys to manufacturers.
But it is better to build your own factory.
Licensing to others saves time and effort, and makes money while you're at it, but the quality of the product cannot be guaranteed.
Pleasant Goat is better.
If it's an animation like "Sailor Moon", you need to make a batch of hand models for sale. Then you can license it to others and forget about it if it's good, but what if you make a lot of flaws?
Creating animation IP is not easy.
If you want to operate for a long time, you should still keep a tight grip on the production of peripheral derivatives. After all, poor quality control of toys will affect not only sales, but also the entire IP.
However, building a factory in Neon requires a large investment, and this money...
Gu Miao couldn't take it out for the time being.
When he returned to Jiangchuan and listened carefully to Vice President Jiang's report, he realized that he was really poor. Let alone building factories overseas, success would be considered a success if he could afford the rent.
Leisuden remote control car is very popular!
But most of the money earned from this was used by Wanbao Toy Company to "expand production." Add to that the daily expenses of Wanbao Animation and the newly established Neon Division, how can there be any extra money in the account?
certainly!
This is just a temporary embarrassment.
With the printing and distribution of the first volume of the comic "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", the comic company should also have a lot of income.
Without saying too much, there should be several million.
After all, this is Pleasant Goat!
Regardless of the sluggish domestic comic industry, except for a few hits that can be sold, other works are unable to make ends meet.
What's the situation with Pleasant Goat? After a TV animation with a highest ratings of over 20 points is adapted into a comic, do you still have to worry about not selling the comic book?
What a joke!
The first printing of 200,000 copies of the comic was sold out in less than two days. Then Wanbao Comics urgently printed an additional 500,000 copies, barely making up for the sales gap.
A comic is priced at 20 yuan!
How much does it cost to print? With a sales volume of close to 700,000 copies, you can see how much money Wanbao Comics makes by doing some math.
This is only the first volume.
According to the standard of 108 pages and 10 episodes in a single volume, the number of episodes in the first TV series of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is enough to launch more than 50 comics.
What a huge gold mine!
Just thinking about it, Gu Miao felt like she was about to faint from laughter. If he had known that making comics could make so much money, what kind of toys would he have made?
Of course, this is a joke.
The main reason for the success of the comic "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is that the TV animation is so popular. Without this prerequisite, the comic would have been useless only if it could be sold as a single line.
In addition to comic companies making a fortune riding on the popularity of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", animation companies actually also have an extra income.
Second round broadcast rights were sold.
As "Leisu Deng Lightning Rush" continues to be popular, many TV stations have come to the door, hoping to win the second round broadcast rights of this animation.
Gu Miao did not refuse anyone who came.
As long as someone buys it, he is willing to sell it. It doesn't matter whether the price is high or low, since he doesn't make money from broadcast rights anyway.
Even though the transaction price is generally not high, it is only a little higher than "The Cat Princess and the Mouse Prince", but it cannot support the large volume.
Only three TV stations broadcast the first round.
During the second round of broadcasting, the number of TV stations surged to 23, an increase of eight times. Under the premise of small profits but quick turnover, Wanbao Animation still made a lot of money.
…
When Gu Miao was busy calculating her family fortune and negotiating with the TV station for the second round of broadcast rights of "Raising the Lightning", Jiangchuan Children's Channel released a piece of news.
Pleasant Goat is almost finished!
This astonishing news shot into the top ten search lists almost as soon as it came out, making countless colleagues burst into tears.
Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon!
They have endured it for so long and finally killed this sheep. Without the suppression of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", their new work should be able to take off, right?
"So fast?"
Gu Miao also received the message from Director Wang and asked curiously: "I remember, didn't the Weird World just finish broadcasting not long ago?"
"Not too fast!"
Director Wang explained: "Have you forgotten that Pleasant Goat's broadcast schedule is six episodes a day?"
Oh yes!
Gu Miao remembered.
In order to meet the needs of the audience, Jiangchuan Children's Channel did adjust the broadcast schedule of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" to six episodes a day.
Calculate based on this progress.
The first part of Pleasant Goat TV has 530 episodes, which is only enough to broadcast for 90 days, which is exactly three months. Counting the days, it is time to end.
"You don't even know..."
Director Wang teased on the phone: "I just released the news that Pleasant Goat has finished, and seven or eight animation companies called me to ask if I was interested in their new work."
Good guy!
Would you be interested in that?
Are these people mentally ill? Pleasant Goat has indeed ended, but this is only the first episode! After the finale, the first episode will be aired again. Is there any problem with this?
"Hahaha!"
Gu Miao couldn't hold back any longer.
This thing is indeed a bit complicated. The length of the first episode of Pleasant Goat is 530 episodes, which makes many people ignore the "end" mentioned by Director Wang, which refers to the end of the first round of broadcasting.
There are still two wheels behind!
After the second and third rounds, you thought it was over? The fourth and fifth rounds haven’t even started yet!
As long as the ratings are stable, Pleasant Goat will not withdraw from the schedule, and the TV station will not easily replace it with other animations.
My colleagues are probably going to collapse.
I thought that after getting through this difficult time, life would become easier after the broadcast of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" ended.
But they would never have imagined it.
The hegemonic rule of Pleasant Goat has just begun. The first round was broadcast for three months, and the second round was broadcast for another three months, until the birth of "Sheep and Goat Games".
"Sheep Games" has just ended, "Happy Year" is here again...
This cycle of screen dominance did not end until six or seven years later, when Pleasant Goat animation gradually became weak.
You thought the nightmare was over?
No no no!
Chapter completed!
