Chapter 218 Profitable animation, "Yu-Gi-Oh!" plan!
After Shen Lang saw the company's financial report, he rubbed his chin and wrinkled it, and read it carefully.
By adding up various amounts and calculating.
His company now has a total of three major channels for making money.
Movie copyrights and advertising revenue, etc., amusement parks are also a big project, and then there are Pokémon broadcasts, copyrights, peripherals, and a series of animation-related things.
Others are extra programs that some actors have accepted because Shen Lang does not allow them to continue with variety shows, which are particularly profitable TV shows.
Therefore, ordinary small programs do not make much money, and these incomes can only account for 2% of the total percentage.
But what he really didn't expect was that the most profitable of his three major channels was the income from Pokémon.
Pokémon is broadcast in many countries, and has been made into various comics, stand-alone books and peripheral games.
The income it brought him was even more than double what he earned from making movies this year, which made him feel bad.
This is too outrageous. I have been working so hard on filming for a whole year, but in the end I still can’t rest on my laurels with Pokémon.
Although he was complaining like this in his heart, such a profitable business still made him very happy.
But there was a slight feeling of frustration.
However, there is no way around this. We must keep pace with the times.
The second-largest income is his movie income, and the third is his amusement park income.
By diversifying your company's income, even if there is a problem in one aspect, the other two aspects can continue to operate, ensuring the stability of the company.
This is the direction a large company should take.
The total revenue for the four quarters combined is about 4.6 billion. Although it does not sound particularly large, you must know that this is a net profit.
Pokémon accounts for half of it, which is a terrifying income from animation that has become popular all over the world.
However, this has only been filmed for two seasons. If we continue to film for seven or eight seasons, the income will be even more terrifying.
His company's turnover has reached tens of billions, which is the final profit obtained by cutting all expenses.
However, some of these funds are still in operation.
The company's money is like this. Once you have spare money, you can never leave it alone. It must be used again.
When he thought of this, he sighed. Judging from the current situation, it would be a very unwise choice to make a movie for Tang Chuchu.
The money will also be idle.
After thinking for a while, he made a decision to put Tang Chuchu's movie plan on hold for a while.
He plans to start animation projects again.
Compared with movies, the influence of animation is more lasting, and a good animation can even influence for decades.
Now we should seize the opportunity and develop something more distinctive.
So he started to open the lottery system and could not find the island country animation interface.
There is a selection of classic anime inside.
The first time he drew was Saint Seiya.
Without thinking, he skipped it again for no other reason than that, although it was classic, it did not reach the level of explosion.
Draw again, Tom and Jerry.
I also passed it again. Although it is an anime that has been popular all over the world for decades, it is not suitable for today.
Draw again, Doraemon.
It is also very classic and can even be said to have accompanied a generation, but it is also not suitable for the current form. If it were to start over, it would be difficult to open the market.
This would make no sense.
Then he went out again, hoping to draw a big fire type like Naruto or One Piece.
Even Detective Conan is okay, but it must be something that is famous all over the world.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be much meaning for him to put in his efforts.
When he drew for the fourth time, he was overjoyed when he saw the anime.
Although it is not one of the three major migrant cartoons such as Dead Fire, nor is it a famous anime like Dragon Ball that is famous around the world.
Even among anime, his copyright cannot even be sold in the top ten.
But even so, the income of this author can be said to be higher than that of the author of One Piece, even dozens of times more than him.
This anime is Yu-Gi-Oh!
He didn't expect that he would be able to draw this anime. If he hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have remembered it.
This is the only anime that makes more money from selling anime peripherals than the anime itself.
And very, very profitable.
The derived monster card game play almost dominated the entire world's card market in their time, which was a very terrifying profit.
For selling a card, the author of Yu-Gi-Oh! can get a reward of about two yen.
However, more than 30 billion cards were sold at that time, and this was a number many years ago.
Genuine cards are very expensive, but the cost is very low, and the rate of return can reach one thousand percent, which is a rate of return that can make anyone crazy.
Even when One Piece was serialized in the early stage, Oda received royalties and peripheral money from the early serialization.
All added together, it is not even 1/10 of the annual tax payment of the author of Yu-Gi-Oh!
Note, this is only 1/10 of the tax amount. This shows how profitable Yu-Gi-Oh!
Even an author can make such a profit, so it goes without saying how much money the company that issues the cards makes.
As a result, the author of Yu-Gi-Oh! has become a legend in the animation industry. Although he did not popularize the unpopular card anime around the world, he promoted his cards to the world.
After seeing this animation, Shen Lang felt that it was very exciting, and the profit margins it had were unimaginably large.
And the investment can be said to be very low. This kind of card has low production difficulty and high output. It is simply a more terrifying existence than a money printing machine.
However, this anime is different from Pokémon and is more passionate.
Moreover, the style of painting is also the kind of young people who tend to be passionate and passionate. This kind of animation is not what China is good at.
The animation they are good at here is still the kind of animation that is biased toward younger generations and has a simple style of painting.
But Yu-Gi-Oh needs to be more refined and exquisite.
If we want to reach this level, after much deliberation, we can only cooperate with foreign companies.
The most suitable partner is naturally Inazuma Country, which has made anime famous all over the world. It is best to find a suitable partner from here.
Looks like I still need to go to Inazuma.
He believes that the Zaara Group will definitely be very interested in this cooperation.
However, cooperation is cooperation, and making money requires separation.
As he was performing, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
It depends on whether the people in the Zaara group know what they are doing!
He will give the other party a chance, but if he fails to seize it, don't blame yourself.
After saying that, he immediately dialed Santong Guilong's phone number.
I told him my thoughts.
However, to produce such a large-scale animation, it also involves various issues such as subsequent distribution and copyright.
It's not a simple matter. The phone call is just to inform them and let them prepare first.
The specific matters will have to be resolved after Shen Lang leaves his wife.
Later, he also told Tang Chuchu about these things.
Although she said she was fine, she could still see the feeling of loss from the depths of her eyes.
Shen Lang also couldn't bear it.
There is no way around it anyway, you have to make a choice.
Then he became even more determined that Yu-Gi-Oh must be made well, otherwise he would be sorry for the choice he made.
This time he brought Yang Hui and Wu Jiajia to the Zaoliang group.
These two people can also be said to be his great help. One helps him manage the company in Dugang, and the other helps him manage the enterprise in China.
Originally, he was afraid that the two women would turn against each other after seeing each other, but they got along really well along the way.
Yang Hui, in particular, seemed very calm and not at all jealous because Wu Jiajia had a higher status than her in the company.
