Millions Of Viewers Are Crying Watching My Anime

Monday, June 21.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Takagi Makoto came to the company, but did not immediately start the day's work, but went online to check the industry-related trends.

As the president of an animation company, of course, he has to learn more about industry trends and pay more attention to market trends. Although he won't be staring at it every day, at least he will check it out on Monday morning.

According to information on the Internet, an animation company has suffered a bankruptcy crisis.

That animation company was still AC, the company that used to hardly follow the enthusiasm of "Lelouch", that is, the company that made light changes to the animation "The Incompetent in Super Academy".

In fact, if an animation production company simply accepts an invitation, it is not easy to go bankrupt.

However, there is no difference between accepting the money and being a contractor. You only earn a contract for production. Whether you make or lose an animation, it has nothing to do with the production company.

If you are a production company that has no money, you can only accept Yuan invites obediently, and you should be happy even if you can receive Yuan invites. After all, Yuan invites can't be accepted as you want.

And if it is a production company that has some spare money and is more aspiring, it will not only be satisfied with receiving the yuan request, but also participating in the investment while receiving the yuan request. In this case, there is a possibility of bankruptcy.

The reason why AC was in bankruptcy was because it invested in a new animation produced by its own company.

For this new animation, they spent a lot of money on publicity and IP speculation, but the market performance of this animation is relatively average.

In short, a lot of money was lost, and as a result, the company suddenly came to the brink of bankruptcy.

Although there has not been a head-to-head confrontation, after all, this company has surpassed the enthusiasm of "Lelouch", and now it suddenly encounters a bankruptcy crisis...

Takagi Makoto's mood is a bit complicated, I don't know whether to say this is a good thing.

He sighed and continued browsing, and suddenly saw another person outside the office door—Kawano Akino.

Before Kawano Akino knocked on the door, Takagi Makoto stood up and said, "Miss Akino, you are here."

Kawano Akino nodded, entered the office, and handed a copy of information to Makoto Takagi.

Takagi Makoto didn't even know it was the sales statistics of "Four Lies".

On Wednesday of last week, on June 16, the DVD and BD of the first volume of "Four Lies" were released. Now it has entered the second week, there will be a first week's sales statistics.

Although there will be a dedicated website to find these data, it will not be so fast. As the animation publishing company of Akino Kawano, it will get the data earlier and more comprehensive.

In the past, Akina Kawano told Makoto Takagi through emails about relevant data, but this time he came in person, and there are probably other things.

Takagi Makoto did not ask anything, but silently checked the sales statistics of "Four Lies".

April is the second most popular fan. This result has exceeded Takagi Makoto's psychological expectations for "Four Lies". The sales of the disc in the first week even exceeded his expectations, reaching 13,875, close to 14 thousand.

This is only the first week's sales. This initial move means that the final sales are likely to reach 20,000.

Although this is only the first volume, the sales of the next few volumes are certainly not so high, but the final average sales should never be lower than the first week's sales of the first volume.

As long as the follow-up quality of the animation continues to be maintained, the final volume sales are likely to exceed 15,000, which is at least 5,000 more sales than the original "Four Lies" from another world.

"You told me to make an animation with a low sales volume. I thought it would be good to have five thousand. Now it seems that although you often lie to the audience to watch your new animation, the audience still likes you very much. Yes." Kawano Akina said suddenly.

"It's mainly because I'm going to close the pen after finishing "Four Lies"."

Makoto Takagi shook his head slightly, "For me, I will definitely support this situation as much as I can... And, when have I deceived the audience? The animation promotion, then it can't be called a deception at all, okay?"

Akino Kawano didn't say anything. He found a place to sit down and looked at Makoto Takagi with an expression of "You continue to say, see if I believe it".

Takagi Makoto did not continue to argue, he put down the sales statistics, poured a cup of tea for Kawano Akino, and immediately asked: "Miss Akino, I heard that AC company is about to go bankrupt. Is this news true?"

"It's not about to go bankrupt, but it's already bankrupt. It is estimated that in two days after the new animation is broadcast, they will announce the news of bankruptcy." Kawano Akino confirmed.

"That's really unfortunate." Takagi Makoto said with emotion.

"They are actually to blame for this." Kawano Akina thoughtfully said, "They are striding too far, thinking about speculating on ip to make a lot of money, but they don't want to think about whether their strength is enough or whether the capital chain can sustain it. "

"The main reason is that I didn't choose the ip?"

"It's correct to say that, but good ips simply don't have their turn to do it."

"Right."

Makoto Takagi nodded.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked again: "Since AC is about to go bankrupt, is it possible to dig a few people from there?"

"Yes, yes, but have you figured out the name of your new studio? Wouldn't it be D-3?" Kawano asked rhetorically.

"It's definitely not. It's really called D-3. Doesn't it directly expose the relationship with DOS?"

"It's not called D-3, what's that called?"

"H.A.Works."

"what?"

"H.A.Works, the full name is HappyAnimationWorks, which means happy animation."

"???"

Kawano Akino was stunned for a while, and it took a while to react, and couldn't help saying, "Your intentions are too sinister."

"What do you mean by being too sinister? Miss Mingnai, we have known each other for several years, why are you still misunderstanding me?"

Takagi Makoto looked unbelievable, "I obviously just want to bring happiness to the audience. If that's not the case, I don't have to talk about closing the pen while preparing to open a new animation company. After closing the pen, I go directly behind the scenes. Isn’t it better to make a plan, draw the original painting, and spend more time resting?"

"Yes, yes, I misunderstood you." Kawano Akino did not argue with Takagi Makoto.

After thinking about it, she said again: "People from AC agency, I can help you get in touch, but without exposing the relationship between your new company and DOS, I'm not sure if I can find someone. ...Also, have you found the office space for your new company?"

"I've found it, and there are actually a few people over there, but I mainly stay here at the moment, and I won't stay there until the "Four Lies" is finished." Gao Mucheng replied.

"That's good."

Kawano Akino nodded, "I'll help you look for it these days, not necessarily from the AC company, but also from other places. Isn't that okay?"

"No problem, Miss Ming Nai is troublesome." Takagi Makoto said seriously.
