The members of Gome studio are mainly Gome students in school and just graduated. After more than a year of development, the studio is no longer the previous studio, but the staffing ratio is still the same. However, a group of famous painters, designers and other big cattle in the industry have also been added. Gome students working in the studio are basically equivalent to working and following these big cattle for secondary learning.
Academic theory combined with practical experience, the growth rate of Gome students who enter the Dami studio is very amazing, and the business of Dami studio is certainly in sync with this growth.
The list of many government departments and units in Hangzhou and even Zhejiang Province, plus the list of penguin animation network, 8 stations and other websites, plus the list of a large number of film and television companies that began to work in October last year, the business volume of Damei studio has already reached tens of millions, and it is basically no problem to reach 50 million by the middle of the new year. The rapid development momentum is definitely one of the best in the industry.
At first, Gentiana Gentiana set up Damei studio just because there was policy support, and the rent was not expensive. She wanted to set up a studio to solve the employment and internship problems of some students. I didn't dare to think about it. It was enough to keep the rent and earn some money for these students. Unexpectedly, it developed to this scale.
There is no doubt about Meng fan's role, and Meng Caiwei's role is not small - it has drawn a lot of lists from film and television companies, and the support of schools and units also has a lot to do with it. Of course, the most important thing is that the business ability is excellent. Otherwise, no matter how good the external conditions are, it can't have such a good development. Human relations are very useful, but they won't be of much use if they are used too much.
At present, there are three main businesses of Damei Studio: first, advertising, including propaganda posters of government agencies, film and television companies and television stations, as well as commercial advertisements; Second, illustration, the big end of this piece has always been online text, including online text diffuse change; The third is animation, which has outsourced the work of painters in many animation studios, including Shanhai animation, of course.
After the 21st New Year's day, the studio expanded its fourth business, that is, comics.
In fact, this is not so much a business as a "career", and there is definitely no way to make money in the short term. The operation mode of the animation department of Dami studio is similar to that of most comic studios, signing a contract or even collecting comic works collectively or helping to promote them to major platforms alone. Unlike most comic studios, Dami studio will sign the works, regardless of whether the works can be "raised" "First of all, it is to ensure the creator's working environment and living needs.
To put it bluntly, we need to "raise" authors, and we are ready to "raise" a large number of them. We even have plans to raise a group of minority cartoonists who are difficult to create benefits, but the animation industry needs to exist.
The comic department is also linked to the "Shanhai animation scholarship" established by Meng fan in addition to Gome, and the cartoonists who sign up will receive part of the subsidy.
Of course, in the long run, this comic book department will definitely make money in the future. After all, with the help of large traffic like Meng fan, there are so many cooperation platforms. As long as there are good works, there is no worry about breaking out.
Then again, with such a business volume, and the two bosses of Gentiana macrophylla and Meng fan are conscientious, the members' income can't be low naturally. Even the animation students who come here part-time for a month can make enough money to cover the expenses of a month - the expenses of art students are really a lot.
At the end of the year, members received a generous year-end bonus and a red envelope, and the remuneration during overtime was five times that of ordinary days. Although it was finally the 28th day of the lunar new year before the holiday, no one complained, and even a few took the initiative to stay in Hangzhou for the Spring Festival in case there was a need for Animation Awards.
Shanhai animation studio is also in the same situation. The difference is that Shanhai animation has not been able to make a real profit so far. Although the first season of "underground spirit" sold quite well, the investment is really not low. If this animation wants to recover the cost, it depends on the later operation.
So far, the studio has invested and reinvested everything except "underground spirit". It is impossible to make a profit. A lot of cooperation and implantation are also continued to invest.
However, the studio is not panic at all. According to the current situation and development trend, the profit time can be seen, only waiting for these cost-effective animations to be completed.
For the current studio, it is accumulation. In addition to accumulating a large number of works, it is also accumulation of reputation. It is only waiting for thick accumulation and thin hair. No, it is explosion.

”You are finally back! “
Sleepy ye received Meng fan from neon at the airport, complaining all the way. In his complaint, he also told Meng fan that he had no time to tell Meng fan about his trip to neon Animation Awards these days.
Meng fan went to neon on the 22nd of the lunar new year, and there was no way. Although Gaoqiao over there helped Meng fan invite some great gods, some of them still needed Meng fan to come out in person.
Not to mention, although Takahashi is a senior editor of the talk club and has promoted many cartoonists and works, he is also a famous figure in the neon animation industry, but he is really not as good as Meng fan.
First, although Meng fan's work "strange man of mountains and seas" has been on neon for only one year, its popularity has been completely opened. Although the circulation of the serial magazine is not very large because of the additional issuance of the cartoon, it is also a miracle that is gradually withering away. The key is that the number of Internet hits, praise and the distribution and sales of the booklet are too terrible. At present, the neon edition of "strange man of mountains and seas" has been published to volume 10, The sales volume has exceeded ten million, of which the sales volume of the first volume is absolutely invincible in the same period. Although the peak value is not as good as the several volumes of the op's previous booklets, none of the op's booklets has exceeded the first volume in this year.
Second, Meng fan's personal fame is too big, and the judo competition of the Olympic Games has pushed his fame in neon to the peak.
Meng fan mainly did three things during his visit to neon, one was to sign the booklet, the other was to have friendly exchanges with neon judo, both of which were held in neon martial arts hall, the holy land of neon judo. Many judo athletes came when signing the pamphlet, and many fans came during the judo exchange. The neon martial arts hall was full in those two days.
During the judo exchange, Meng Fanshun did the third thing, that is to invite those animation bulls who are ready to invite to participate in the animation award to "observe the ceremony" judo exchange, and then the success rate of the invitation will naturally increase a lot. Of course, the fundamental reason for the ultimate success is the various cooperation after participating in the Animation Award.
