Chapter 185: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Animation
Chapter 185: Talented Ninja Turtle Animation
However, this plan to build a paradise did give Jester a reminder.
He remembers that Nintendo built a Nintendo-themed amusement park in later generations. Although it was not promoted vigorously, it also achieved great success.
And Jester still remembers that in the late 1980s, American TV reporters conducted an interview and survey. The results of the survey surprised the whole of the United States because Mickey Mouse, who has always been regarded as a symbol of the United States, has a greater influence in the minds of Americans than in the protagonists of a game made from a small island country thousands of miles away.
Thinking of this, Jester also felt that building a playground with game characters and game scenes as the theme is a very good idea. If he wanted to do it, there might be many problems that need to be solved, but this time Samsung took the initiative to propose this cooperation, which made him think it was a good solution.
After putting Samsung's official letter aside, Jester continued to look at other documents. Although he had agreed to cooperate with MGM on "The Avengers", this was just a verbal agreement. The formal signing of the contract will be a week later and it has not been announced to the public.
Therefore, there are still other film companies conducting inquiries in this regard, including members of other seven or eight film companies, such as Columbia, Paramount, Warner Bros., and even they not only ask "Avengers" but also ask about the copyright of other games, but the most asked is the adaptation rights of Sheriff Balotelli.
Faced with this situation, and Jester had previously thought of cooperating with Samsung Everland to establish a paradise in the United States with its own game theme as its selling point, so it is very important to keep the exposure of your game characters regularly.
Like a game, it is impossible to have dozens of cartoons with the same character in a year like Disney cartoons. To ensure quality, one can only be completed in nearly half a year. If you want to expose like Disney characters and enhance your influence in the minds of players, you must use the same method as them.
Just like shooting a cartoon of Tintoon Turtles by yourself, it is most suitable to use animations, movies or TV series.
In this way, something is placed in front of Jester. If you just wanted to make a random movie, then the identity of Mars Entertainment would be able to do it, because it took a long time to come. However, if you want to shoot a lot of things, then this wild way will be less efficient.
Therefore, setting up a film and television production company that is specifically responsible for the operation of copyrights of characters or works in its own game company has become an inevitable choice.
Moreover, after having a film and television production company, you will inevitably produce a large number of cartoons or TV series, which will also encounter many troubles when broadcasting, because when you only make one, it will not be too difficult to sell it, but if you have made more than a dozen movies by yourself, then no TV station will purchase them all.
However, the cost of establishing a TV network is too great in Jester's eyes. It is not an investment he can afford. Moreover, his identity is still a Chinese. If he wants to control a TV network in the United States, although American laws do not explicitly prohibit it, there are still unspoken rules. It is impossible for not a white person to do it.
But these things cannot be solved. Then the way you want to promote your game influence through film and television production can only be like the moon in the well, without any operability. As for why Disney can, it is very simple, because Disney has one of the largest TV networks in the United States.
After thinking about it, Jester thought of a solution, which he could solve by working on a paid TV station.
Although B-TV, which later generations was just a paid TV station, its influence was not small. He attracted a large number of loyal viewers by the production of high-quality dramas. Jester remembers that the TV station filmed Game of Thrones has won the honor of the most popular TV series in the United States for a long time. Not only did it reap the cost by advertising fees, but it also made more profits by selling discs in the later stages.
So, in Jester's eyes, this method is feasible, but how to operate it must be left to professionals. So Jester called the headhunting company that he had worked with before, explained his requirements, and then waited for the reply.
There is nothing more important in the remaining files. There is only one that surprised Jester a little. The cartoon "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" produced by his Phantom Studio is also about to be officially broadcast on B. The previous broadcast agreement with B was recommended by Jest to Phantom Studio. In addition, because of the unprecedented popularity of Transformers, B is also looking for new animated series. It just so happened that "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was really good and of high quality. At least in the eyes of those people in B, in terms of pure quality of animated cartoons, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is much higher than "Transformers".
When thinking about "Transformers", Jester was a little unhappy. They had worked with Hasbro before, for example, they had obtained the game adaptation rights for their "Real Estate Tycoon". They originally thought that they would also discuss while the popularity of "Transformers" and see if they could win the adaptation rights for "Transformers" at a relatively suitable price.
However, "Transformers" is too popular in the United States, or in the whole world. Hasbro's conditions for Mars Entertainment are simply blackmail. They not only have to participate in the share of the game adapted by "Transformers", but they also have to occupy a large part of it. They also require the adapter to give a very high signing fee as soon as possible. Of course, Hasbro will not pay a penny in the development, publicity and promotion of this game.
In Jester's eyes, it is obvious that it is just to invest a copyright, and then wait to collect the money, and the most money is required. The one who contributes only has a little hard work. Even the tenants of the landlords did not do this before, so after Jester knew that the other party was in this condition, he refused without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, after Jester refused, Hasbro was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, developing electronic games was just an optional income-generating point for them, and they didn't want to give it that much. Originally, Jester thought that if the other party did not give in, he would feel wronged. In the idea of not allowing Nintendo to expand its market share in the name of Transformers, he agreed.
However, unexpectedly, Nintendo, a stingy and wealthy Nintendo, was rare and generous this time. Nintendo, headed by Arakawa, immediately followed up after learning that Jester and Hasbro had broken down. After hearing the conditions proposed by Hasbro, Arakawa's first reaction was like Jester. He wanted to jump up and slap the people of Hasbro to feed them. However, he quickly threw this idea away and didn't even bargain, so he reached an agreement with Hasbro.
Afterwards, Arakawa Miya used his and Hasbro to officially reach an agreement on the game adaptation rights of "Transformers" as a gimmick, and conducted a lot of hype, for fear that others would not know. In just one week, countless press conferences were held in more than a dozen cities in the East, West, United States, China, and just to announce that "Transformers" belongs to them.
The effect of this is obvious. Through the report received by the hired data collection company, Jester knew that within one month after the news of Nintendo's signing of "Transformers", Nintendo's market share rose by 5%. This was a very terrible growth rate, which also allowed Jester to see the power of "Transformers" for the first time.
Moreover, those who like Transformers are young children, and Nintendo's game features are suitable for both young and old, especially those who can receive the love of these children. So in Jester's eyes, Nintendo's step seems to have been blackmailed by Hasbro, but Nintendo itself did not suffer because they were not interested in Transformers itself, but Transformers itself used a huge fan base.
This group is the same as their Nintendo game console target group. In the eyes of these Nintendo designers, they never worry about whether their game quality can be liked by these players. What they worry about is that their game consoles cannot be sold, so no matter how outstanding the game they make is, it will be useless.
Because there is no game console, there is no way to play their games, so naturally there is no way to buy them.
For Jester, this was a lesson. If he had known at that time that Nintendo could really increase its market share by just a Transformers news, then he would have agreed without hesitation that Hasbro had almost blackmailed conditions.
Jester is relieved to the quality of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to be broadcast by B, because he had watched more than a dozen episodes of the beginning. For Jester, who is a class-level cartoon that has taken care of later generations, this cartoon is actually not very outstanding, but compared with it in the same era, it is basically the best class.
