The first Monday in August.

Kitahara Makoto took a leave of absence from school and came to NicoNico Animation.

Sit in the office.

The heads of various departments came to report to him one by one.

With the increasing number of website users, the scale of the company is getting bigger and bigger, the organizational structure is gradually clear, personnel department, finance department, procurement department, project department, public relations department, art department...

Various departments are available, and the number of employees has reached 70.

Every year, the labor cost alone is more than 200 million.

This does not include rent, utility fees, utilities... and other various operating costs.

In total, it is conservatively estimated that at least 300 million yuan is needed every year.

That is, sitting on the copyright of many best-selling works, energy continues to generate a lot of income every year.

Otherwise, Kitahara really didn't have the money to play so big.

......

In the president's office.

The first to come in was General Manager Yuta Kawamoto.

"President, this is the number of new users on our website after the launch of "The Cultivation Method of the Passerby Heroine", as well as the daily activity data..."

Yuta Kawamoto handed over a statement.

It shows that the number of registered NicoNico animations has reached 21 million.

And the native population of the entire Dongying is only more than 100 million.

So there's moisture in it.

There must be many people who have registered accounts repeatedly.

But even so, the real number of registrations is at least 10 million.

This is already terrifying, among Dongying's many online video platforms.

It is an absolute overlord crushing level.

There is currently no video site that can do NicoNico animation on the scale.

And the number of daily living people has exceeded the terrifying 100 million.

I have to say that the energy that the otaku burst out of is really powerful.

"Yes, everything is going according to the path we envisioned."

Kitahara put down the report with satisfaction, and continued.

"The next focus is mainly on three aspects, the first is to strengthen the production of high-quality content, the second is to maintain the user experience, and the third is to increase publicity."

"Be sure to publicize our NicoNico animation, you can watch dramas anytime, anywhere, and there are absolutely no advertisements on the way!"

"Yes, President, I will definitely do this job well!"

"By the way, President, there is another situation that needs to be reported to you..."

Yuta Kawamoto said: "Recently, some TV production companies have approached us and asked us if we can accept the copyright of TV dramas? "

"Receive, must collect!"

Kitahara said without hesitation.

"Not only the TV series copyright, but also the film copyright!"

As a video site, a large amount of high-quality content is the key lifeblood.

Although Dongying two-dimensional culture is rich.

NicoNico animation is also based on playing dramas.

But it does not mean that Kitahara will give up the two businesses of TV series and movies.

On the contrary, he actually attaches great importance to these two businesses in his heart.

Because his goal is to develop NicoNico animation into the Netflix of the future.

Netflix's future market value is hundreds of billions of dollars.

Anime and animated movies alone will definitely not be able to hold up.

It takes the support of variety shows, TV series, and movies to do it.

To put it bluntly, the online video platform is the TV station on the network.

It's just with the help of increasingly mature Internet technology.

You can watch whatever you want, anytime, anywhere.

No TV station can only be watched at home, and only watching certain programs at certain times is so limited.

In Kitahara's real vision, self-made variety shows, self-made reality TV series, these are all in his planning.

It's just that these two items require very, very much money.

Just supporting a homemade animation business already puts him under a lot of pressure.

I want to realize the above two businesses.

It may have to be listed before it can be successful.

"But we have to pay attention!"

Kitahara reminded.

"At this stage, we only accept popular TV series and movie copyrights, not well-known!"

"Or collect some, the copyright of TV series and movies that have been popular before."

"In short, money should be spent on the blade!"

"Yes, President, I understand!"

After Yuta Kawamoto left.

Head of Finance, Head of Purchasing... and others also came in to make reports.

Mama Kitahara spent the whole morning at NicoNico Animation.

......

Afternoon.

Kitahara really came to the Big Dipper anime. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )

First, I inspected the two projects "Your Name" and "Youth Pig Head Boy".

Under the leadership of Makoto Shinkai, "Your Name" has officially started construction, and the current progress is 5%.

If you want to wait for the film to be completed, you will have to wait until the end of the year at the earliest.

After all, the production requirements of the film are higher, the details are more meticulous and sophisticated, and it needs to be polished repeatedly to complete.

All of this takes a lot of time and money.

Therefore, the investment in anime movies is generally higher than that of fan dramas.

In "Your Name", Kitahara Zhen's budget for Shinkai Makoto is 600 million.

A real gamble.

If the gamble is lost, even he will have to hurt for a while.

Fortunately, the success of "The Cultivation Method of the Passerby Heroine".

Makoto Shinkai's capabilities have been preliminarily verified.

So for Shinkai Makoto, Kitahara is still very confident.

The rest of "Youth Pig-headed Boy" progresses faster.

After the honing of "Passerby Heroine", the production team led by Yuichi Fujiki has become very proficient in business.

This time, the character map and script are still provided by Kitahara Makoto 0.........

Then they only need to be responsible for the production.

At present, the progress of this project has reached 30%.

And except for a few small details.

Everything else is exactly the same as the original in Kitahara's memory.

After inspecting the progress of both projects.

Kitahara returned to his office satisfied.

As soon as he sat down, general manager Hideki Tian Ze couldn't wait to run over to report.

"President, Fuji TV urged us and asked when we started producing the second season of "Passerby Heroine"?"

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Kitahara really rubbed his forehead with some headache.

Hideki Tazawa replied.

"Yes, the ratings of "Passerby Heroine" are very high, and the reputation is also excellent, and they have made a lot of money for Fuji TV, and they are naturally very anxious."

"So how is the new production team preparing?"

"I haven't found them all yet."

"Then forget it, don't rush to recruit people for the time being!"

Kitahara Zhen directly waved his hand.

"Let's buy it directly!"

"Buy a small anime production company and buy their production team by the way."

"But the president..."

Tian Zeying said shyly.

"Our company doesn't have that much money now."

"The Cultivation Method of the Passerby Heroine" is very successful.

But the royalties sold to TV stations have been invested in the project "Young Pig-headed Boy".

The income from the light novel went to "Your Name".

The manga rights are still under development with Shueisha .

At present, the money in the account of Big Dipper Animation Company has no problem supporting the operation of the company.

But if you want to buy other companies, you can't.

"I will let the parent company NicoNi1.6co Animation grant you funds to acquire new companies and produce the second season of "Passerby Heroine"!"

Kitahara knew about this situation before he came up with the idea.

So he has long been ready to pay out of his own pocket.

After getting Kitahara Jin's promise.

Tian Zeying set up a horse and rushed to contact a company suitable for acquisition.

Soon, Big Dipper Anime acquired a suitable small anime production company and retained a complete production team.

After a short run-in, the production of the second season of "Passerby Heroine" immediately began.

Because it is a new team, in order to ensure the quality of the work.

Makoto Kitahara once again served as the director of the second season of "Passerby Heroine".

Coupled with the original "Youth Pig-headed Boy" fragrant cedar, as well as the affairs of two companies, his whole person was busy flying all of a sudden...
