From White Box To Supervision

On the Internet, the CD-ROM of "The Story of the Devil in Another World" was released, and Zhang Beichuan naturally cooperated with it to promote it.

Twelve chapters of "The Story of the Demon King in Another World" are sold in three volumes.

But it is a pity that the sales results are very miserable, and it counts down in the CD sales in the same period.

The first week of the first volume sold less than 800 copies, which is completely inconsistent with the current results.

To this end, Fujita Isato also specially called Zhang Beichuan to complain.

"Supervisor Beichuan, you said that the popularity on the Internet is not low. Why is the sales of CDs so low?"

Hearing this, Zhang Beichuan also smiled bitterly: "Editor-in-chief Fujita, I also want to know this, after all, I also want better results in the sales of discs, but it still depends on who is willing to pay for this work. At present, it seems that Very few are willing to pay.”

Popularity is not the same as high disc sales, everyone knows that.

Originally, Isato Fujita had thought about it, but this result was still a little too bad, even lower than his expectations, which was very uncomfortable.

Now, let's look at the back sales.

Zhang Beichuan just hung up the phone, and then another call came, and then it was Miyamori Aoi's slightly excited voice.

"Bei... Beichuan, good news."

"Speak slowly." Zhang Beichuan laughed.

"The person in charge of the electric shock called me just now and wants to meet you."

"Dengeki Bunko?" Zhang Beichuan was stunned. Dengeki Bunko is currently one of the largest light novel libraries in District 11. Together with Fujimi Fantasia Bunko and Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko, they are also known as the top three light novels.

It's just that Zhang Beichuan has never contacted them. Why do they want to call to find themselves?

Could it be...

Zhang Beichuan had a guess.

"Okay, ask them, do you have time at noon?" Zhang Beichuan asked.

"it is good."

......

Soon, Zhang Beichuan had an answer and went to meet at noon, just...

Zhang Beichuan looked at his clothes, it wasn't dirty, but his face was a little dusty. He washed his face, and then took the tram with Miyamori Aoi directly to the Nishi-Shinjuku area of ​​​​the accommodation district.

The Dengeki Library editorial department is here.

Compared to Shogakukan, which has its own building, Dengeki Bunko is only a three-story office building.

Zhang Beichuan had an appointment, so after talking to the front desk, he was taken directly to a living room, and after waiting for a while, a middle-aged man walked in.

"Supervisor Beichuan, Produced by Miyamori, hello, I'm the editor-in-chief of Dengeki Bunko, Kazuma Miki, I made the call just now." His clothes were a little messy, and his hair had a sense of exploding heads.

He stretched out his hand to Zhang Beichuan.

"Hello." Zhang Beichuan also hurriedly stood up and shook his hand, and Gong Senkui also shook his hand.

Miki brought two cups of juice on a horse and smiled: "Sorry, just ran out of tea leaves, only juice."

"It's okay." Zhang Beichuan and Gong Senkui didn't mind this matter.

Then he was polite, and then he got to the point.

Zhang Beichuan had guessed right before that Mr. Kazuma Miki was indeed looking for it for animation, to adapt a light novel by Dengeki Bunko into an animation.

Moreover, the work they plan to adapt this time is their library's ace novel - "Sword Art Online".

Therefore, Zhang Beichuan was very surprised.

Zhang Beichuan of the light novel "Sword Art Online" has naturally seen it. At present, the popularity of "Sword Art Online" in the Dengeki Library is not generally high outside the catalog of banned magic books. For example, it is the starting point of "Dou Po".

This kind of big IP type of animation adaptation should be adapted by those well-known companies, and Sunny Studio, well, although Zhang Beichuan's gold signboard, it still feels a little insufficient.

But since the other side has already said it, Zhang Beichuan has no idea of ​​not picking it up, no matter what the reason they chose themselves in the first place.

"It is also our thoughtful idea to hand over to Beichuan to supervise the adaptation. In terms of planning, our plan is to adapt the two volumes of the novel, the SOA chapter and the chapter. Still in preparation."

"Preparation?" Zhang Beichuan pondered slightly: "Mr. Miki, I wonder if we can participate in the committee?"

"This..." Kazuma Miki is a little embarrassed. The "Sword Art Online" project is very popular among fans. Basically, as long as the adaptation is not bad, it will definitely not be a loss. Therefore, there are many companies that want the committee.

Zhang Beichuan also knew what he was thinking, and said, "We won't get much share of the committee. After all, we certainly don't invest much."

In a committee, there must be a lot of people who are willing to invest. For example, if one company occupies 50% of the investment and another company occupies 30%, then they must also occupy the majority of the shares~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Zhang Beichuan's idea is to participate in the rest. 20%, no, not even 20%, because there are other investors who have to participate, maybe not much, but it is better than being a wage earner.

Like this "Sword Art Online", Zhang Beichuan estimates that the big head behind it must be Sony as the big head committee, because Sony has a stake in the Dengeki Library itself.

"That...that's good." Miki Kazuma agreed. Among them, it was also the intention of the producer in Qingtian Studio, so he agreed.

The specific plan is definitely not something that can be solved by verbal agreement. This is just an outline. More details and contracts are needed later.

Without signing the contract, Zhang Beichuan was always worried. Although Dengeki Library came to him for adaptation, who knows if he would temporarily change his mind and switch to another company.

This time, there is no partner, that is to say, the production of the more than 20 episodes is all undertaken by Qingtian Studio, which is a pressure and an opportunity for Qingtian Studio.

It may be possible to make Sunny Studio famous all at once, not just Zhang Beichuan.

"One more thing, Mr. Miki needs to trouble you." Zhang Beichuan said,

Miki Ichima thought he was going to explain something, so he waited and said, "You say it."

"Can you give me a set of Sword Art Online novels?"

Miki and one horse: (˙ー˙)

"sure."

In this way, Zhang Beichuan can easily follow a set of light novels here for free, and there is still a collector's edition signed by Kawahara Reki, the current updated full version.

No way, Zhang Beichuan also began to be diligent and thrifty to run the house, hey, this is what life is forcing.
