Chapter 548 You laugh at her madness, but the boss knows the truth.
Gu Yuejia ignored the questioning looks, her tone becoming even more resolute, with a prophetic certainty:
"Based on our analysis of user behavior in several core ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) communities, as well as the changing trends among young people in content consumption and IP merchandise purchases, I have made a judgment that may sound a bit radical."
She spoke clearly, word by word:
"In the next five to ten years, domestic animation will completely shed its outdated labels of 'childish' and 'crude,' and relying on the huge domestic market base, increasingly mature production technology, and the strong cultural identity needs of the younger generation, it will usher in an unprecedented, phenomenal, explosive growth!"
"It will no longer be an appendage to film, but an independent super sector with a market potential of hundreds of billions or even trillions!"
"Domestic animation? A boom? A golden decade?"
These words were like a thunderclap, completely shattering the previously relatively rational atmosphere of business discussion in the meeting room!
On either side of the long table, several department managers frowned deeply. Their gazes toward Gu Yuejia were no longer filled with surprise, but with undisguised absurdity and skepticism, as if they were looking at a madwoman talking in her sleep.
In their deeply ingrained industry perception, Chinese animation is still stuck in the stage of children's family entertainment like "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Boonie Bears," lagging behind Europe, America, and Japan by at least twenty years in technology, with immature story cores and narrow and difficult commercial monetization paths.
If someone were to go to an industry summit now and promote the "golden decade of Chinese animation," they would be seen as an ignorant joke by all their peers and investors, and might even be ridiculed by the media as "trying to attract attention!"
Privately, some people couldn't help but exchange glances and mutter to themselves: Could it be that this newly appointed Manager Gu has brought his adventurous spirit from the racetrack into his investment decisions? This is simply playing with the company's hard-earned money!
however--
When Ye Fan, who was sitting in the main seat, heard the words "explosion of domestic animation", his pupils suddenly contracted to the point of being as small as needles!
He leaned forward almost imperceptibly, his deep gaze like the most precise scanner, locking onto Gu Yuejia's exquisite face, which was filled with seriousness and determination!
A talented woman!
This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime genius in the industry, temporarily buried by the dust of time!
Eyes that see the future!
On the surface, Ye Fan remained calm and even had a faint smile on his lips, but inside, a huge storm was raging!
Regarding Gu Yuejia's earlier assessment of blockbuster films and high-quality web series, he felt it was a professional's judgment, but not particularly impressive, falling within the normal range.
But when he heard her make such a definitive prediction that "domestic animation is about to experience an explosive growth" based on existing, limited data and trends, Ye Fan was struck by a strong sense of amazement!
As a reborn individual, he knew all too well the trajectory of history to come!
There's no need to wait ten years at all!
In the next two or three years, a number of phenomenal Chinese animation masterpieces, such as "Monkey King: Hero Is Back", "Ne Zha", and anime adapted from online novels like "Douluo Continent" and "Battle Through the Heavens", will emerge and sweep across the country with overwhelming force.
It directly ushered in the "Fengshen Era" of industrialization, high-quality production, and popularization of domestic animation!
Its derivative product market and IP value are immeasurable!
This woman, relying solely on her professional market sense, data mining skills, and a bit of extraordinary foresight and courage, managed to glimpse a corner of the future trend!
Such vision and courage are truly invaluable!
Ye Fan's eyes were practically overflowing with admiration. He raised his hand, a simple gesture that silenced all the doubts and rebuttals that were about to spill from the room. His voice was steady yet carried an undeniable force:
"A very interesting, even imaginative, approach. Manager Gu, please continue!"
Receiving Ye Fan's clear signal of support, Gu Yuejia felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulders, and even felt a surge of inexplicable sweetness and confidence from being understood.
Her previous nervousness had vanished completely, and her tone of voice was now more composed and confident, carrying a sharp, commanding air.
"Therefore, based on the above analysis, I fully agree with Mr. Tang's pragmatic and prudent fundamental approach. The company's first major investment can and should be prioritized in film and television investment, which is our core business."
Her gaze was intense:
"Whether it's betting on a top-tier theatrical blockbuster that will ignite market buzz, accurately targeting a well-made dark horse web series, or even tentatively investing in one or two promising domestic animation IPs at a lower cost, as long as our strategy is clear and our execution is effective, we can absolutely help Minglu Culture fire the most stunning and resounding first shot in front of the entire industry!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yuejia snapped her notebook shut, tilted her graceful swan neck slightly, and met Ye Fan's gaze with clear and firm eyes.
In those eyes, there was the confidence of a professional, the composure of awaiting judgment, and a barely perceptible glimmer of hope for recognition.
Their gazes met and collided silently in the air.
There were no words, yet it was as if invisible radio waves were being transmitted.
It was a profound understanding that could only be instantly grasped by thinkers at the forefront of the times, a shared glimpse and appreciation of a certain possibility for the future.
All the other noise, doubts, and even the air in the conference room seemed to be excluded at this moment.
Ye Fan looked at her and nodded slowly and with absolute certainty.
This action carries more weight than any words of praise.
Gu Yuejia's heart skipped a beat.
This time, however, it wasn't because of panic.
......
Ye Fan closed the previous report, his slender fingers tapping rhythmically on the smooth tabletop. His deep, dark gaze remained fixed on Gu Yuejia as he posed the most crucial and specific question:
"So, in your opinion, on which project should Minglu Culture invest its first shot, its first large sum of money, to make the biggest splash and create the biggest impact?"
Gu Yuejia met Ye Fan's gaze, which seemed to weigh all value, and her red lips curved slightly, revealing a confident smile that showed that she had already made up her mind.
She calmly pulled out a blue folder that was noticeably thicker than the others from the bottom of the stack of documents in front of her.
She stood up, walked to Ye Fan's side with crisp and firm steps, and solemnly handed him the documents with both hands.
Ye Fan took it casually, his fingertips touching the cold, hard cover of the folder.
He turned to the first page.
Just the first glance at the neatly arranged project names—
Even with Ye Fan's rebirth and his experience of seeing the future, his pupils couldn't help but contract sharply!
My heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand, and then burst open with a burst of intense heat!
