CATDOLL:UP2015: Tencent buys 500 comics and 200 light novels to develop the animation industry

Tencent Interactive Entertainment UP Annual Conference has become a new benchmark for domestic cultural entertainment. Whether it is the layout of "pan-entertainment" or the orientation of IP, there will be different themes and creativity every year. In addition to the success in games, Tencent has completed the acquisition of Qidian Chinese Network in the past two years, which has strengthened the purchasing power of Tencent comics. So what is the next goal of Tencent's pan-entertainment? Let's reveal it to you.

At the Tencent Interactive Entertainment UP Annual Conference, Tencent Animation's plans for overseas and domestic markets were mainly mentioned, including the comic adaptations of Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain and CF, which told the core value of IP value development. At the same time, many figures were mentioned, which could represent the achievements of Tencent Animation in the past two years. Afterwards, Tencent confirmed the news of the live-action adaptation of Ace Inspector, and the original team talked about the plot of giving the script to Americans to make them laugh, and strengthened their determination that Chinese works can go overseas.

In this year's plan, Tencent will continue to support genuine products and will introduce a large number of genuine overseas works. Tencent has 20 million users, all of whom are loyal readers of Japanese comics. The works to be introduced next will include 500 popular comic works from Shueisha, Shogakukan, Kadokawa, etc. and 200 light novels.

Of course, Tencent’s goal will not be limited to overseas animation. Domestic animation will also be vigorously developed in the future. Tencent’s goal is to develop animation works suitable for reading by all ages and enhance the value of IP promotion. It is hoped that Chinese animation fans will not only pursue Japanese and American comics, but will also fall in love with China’s excellent animation works.
