Domestic cartoons have had a glorious history. Before liberation, the Wan brothers filmed the influential "Iron Fan Princess".

The founder of the new comics in the island country, Osamu Tezuka, started to create comics after watching this cartoon.

His iron-armed Astro Boy actually has the shadow of Sun Wukong.

After liberation, a classic animation like Tiangong and Nezha was filmed.

In the 1980s, the second spring of animation was ushered in, such as Calabash, Afanti, Black Cat Sheriff, etc., which grew up with generations.

It was only later that due to capital and system reasons, the development of domestic animation was restricted, which led to the screen being occupied by cartoons from island countries and European and American countries.

When Liu Qingshan thinks about this, he still feels very sorry: in the 1980s, everyone was still the same. Even if they were a little behind, they still had hope of catching up.

Since he and Wu Tong and others formed Qingshan Animation Company, they may be able to cooperate with Shanghai and American.

Aoyama Anime now has only two cartoonists and does not have the ability to make cartoons. Both sides can fully complement each other.

The staff began to be busy again, and they only regarded the words of the little brother-in-law as children.

Director Hu was also busy, leaving only the old man who had just teased the fourth child, Grandpa Zhou, who led two little people to visit and explain.

Liu Qingshan also came up excitedly and listened to him.

They are paper-cutting parts here, in addition to this, there are puppet animations, ink animations, etc.

The most famous puppet animation is Afanti, ink animation, such as tadpole looking for mother.

The fourth and fifth brothers gradually understood the production process of cartoons. It turned out that it was really hard and needed to draw frame by frame.

Before there was no computer, these were done manually, and the workload was really huge.

As for the cost of production, this is really not easy to calculate. In addition to the various materials needed, everyone's salary is also available.

Grandpa Zhou was so happy that the two little girls asked this and that, and he was not bothered.

Only then did Liu Qingshan realize: It turns out that the Hulu brothers all look exactly the same, but it really is to save costs.

Because of limited funds, how to save money, Director Hu fully utilized democracy and asked everyone to brainstorm whoever came up with good ideas would reward a chicken.

In this era, a chicken is quite expensive and it is very good to use it to improve your life.

"You two little kids, I'll ask Xiao Hu for two chickens later." Grandpa Zhou was still joking.

Liu Qingshan also yelled twice, but his heart felt a different feeling, and it was a bit bitter:

It is in this simplicity that everyone worked overtime and created such a classic cartoon.

But why can't it be done later?

So he said, "Old Zhou, the Calabashi has only thirteen episodes in total, which is too short. Why don't you shoot more? The cartoons in the island country are all from hundreds or thousands of episodes?"

"We have been producing these thirteen episodes for two years."

Mr. Zhou knew that Liu Qingshan was an amateur, so he didn't care and explained casually.

Liu Qingshan yelled in his mouth: "Hehe, actually we can also make a continuous one. After the scorpion spirit is shot, there are snake spirit, snake spirit, and black bear spirit."

"It's like Journey to the West, I've been trying to eliminate monsters along the way, and I've experienced eighty-one difficulties."

In fact, many cartoons from island countries are all this routine, and hundreds of episodes are common.

Just like Dragon Ball, a martial arts conference can be watched for several years.

Grandpa Zhou also smiled: "If the funds are sufficient, of course there is no problem, but the allocations above are very tight. Xiao Liu, do you know how much money has been allocated to our cartoon?"

"Grandpa Zhou, how much does it cost?" Xiao Laosi asked again.

"A total of 60,000 yuan." The old man gestured a six-game gesture.

"Wow, so few!" The fourth and fifth brothers spoke in unison.

Liu Qingshan was only admired. He felt that these staff members were not short of technology, nor the spirit of hard work. The only thing that could hinder them was money.

And this is exactly what should not be a stumbling block.

"Grandpa Zhou, Shan Xing and I have a creative idea. When filming the sequel, can we add two little gourd girls to it?"

The little brother asked with his big eyes blinking.

Haha, Mr. Zhou suddenly guessed the intentions of the two little girls, and touched their heads with a smile: "Who knows if we can shoot a sequel?"

"It's certainly possible."

Liu Qingshan said confidently, because this is the case, the Calabash was the only cartoon that was allowed to continue shooting sequels, which shows its popularity.

Another classic animation of the same period, Black Cat Sheriff, is amazing, but it ended after five episodes.

Children across the country remembered it very clearly. At the end of episode 5, Sheriff Black Cat took out a small pistol and typed out four words: Please watch the next episode.

As a result, I waited for decades but didn't see it.

Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan asked casually: "Old Zhou, why didn't the Black Cat Sheriff continue to take pictures?"

"You said that movie Lao Dai is retired." Old Zhou sighed.

Retired?

Liu Qingshan understood a little: the matters in the system are very complicated.

He subconsciously muttered: "It's OK to retire..."

As a result, I found that several gazes shot at him in the room, all with strong dissatisfaction.

Liu Qingshan quickly added: "It's okay to retire. Our company just short of staff, so you can hire it."

"What company do you have?" Mr. Zhou asked in confusion.

Before Liu Qingshan could answer, the little brother-in-law rushed to raise his little hand: "We are Qingshan Animation Company."

Everyone shook their heads together. They were all insiders and had never heard of it.

The film studios at this moment, including the art film studios, are all state-owned units.

Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "Our company was registered in the island country. It just started. It started last year and just serialized two comics."

"It looks so good, one is Cherry Maruko."

"One is the leader of Chinese primary school."

The fourth and fifth brothers rushed to answer.

Inside the room, a young man suddenly interrupted, "These two comics seem to be very popular in the island country, and they will definitely be made into cartoons!"

Now, everyone dares not underestimate it anymore: it must be quite amazing to stand out in the island country.

Mr. Zhou's eyebrows also trembled a few times: "Xiao Liu, do you want me to contact Lao Dai for you?"

He, the old naughty boy, is about to retire, so I was a little moved when I heard Liu Qingshan say he could recruit.

"Okay, okay, that's really a problem for you."

Liu Qingshan also nodded vigorously. If he could really recruit soldiers for Qingshan Animation this time, he would make a lot of money.

Even Director Hu came over. He originally thought that Liu Qingshan was an irrelevant person, but he didn't expect that he would still be with him.

It's just that one is public and the other is private.

In the past two years, everyone has gradually realized that the private economy is developing rapidly, so it is not as despised as before.

I even gradually became envious, because the reason was very simple: the treatment was high.

"The funds allocated too little, and many times, we are also good friends, but we can't cook without rice." Director Hu complained.

Just like the opening song of the Hulu Brothers, the soundtrack is actually an electronic piano. Do you dare to believe it?

Mr. Zhou also kept nodding: "The factory is getting more and more recession, and there are many young people coming, and they are all idle and have no work to do."

Liu Qingshan knew that there were many reasons for the decline of this industry, but funds were definitely ranked first.

This situation is actually very serious.

Because cartoons will affect generations of people, this influence is much greater than that of movies.

When I was a child, it was when I was shaping my personality that I saw on TV all the animations of island countries and American countries, so there must be something wrong with this.

After thinking for a while, Liu Qingshan suddenly said, "I wonder if you can go to the American factory to contract?"

Everyone around was already surrounded, and when they heard this, they were all stunned: They really never thought about this question.

After a long time, Mr. Zhou took the lead in speaking: "Comrade Xiao Liu, this is what the leaders above need to consider. It's useless for you to ask us. We are just working."

"What we lack in Qingshan Animation is to work, not lacking in leaders."

Liu Qingshan also replied with a smile, and the hoe in his hand was already raised high.

Many people were a little moved, but they quickly shook their heads: I still can't bear to leave this iron job.

Only Mr. Zhou was happy: "Comrade Xiao Liu, I am about to retire. Do you want it?"

"Of course, the salary will be doubled, and an additional bonus will be awarded at the end of the year based on the work completion."

Liu Qingshan said loudly.

There was a sound of air conditioning in the room immediately: The salary will double!
