Millions Of Viewers Are Crying Watching My Anime

May 2022.

It has been more than three years since Takagi Makoto won the Shiraishi Award for Major Contribution.

In the past three years, Takagi Makoto has not acted as the supervisor of any animation, nor has he written the script, and he is basically not responsible for the music and personal settings.

In addition to the president of DOS, he is more of a producer.

Of course, occasionally when there is a shortage of manpower, he will also participate in the work of the original painting, but that is only a small number, and most of them are participating in the vest.

Although he did not make animations himself, DOS produces several animations every year, and each animation maintains a relatively high standard, and its popularity and commercial results are not bad.

In January of this year, the second season of "The Horse Racing Girl" was broadcast. With the cooperation of the mobile game produced by vugames, the popularity is even more ridiculous, not losing the "Magic Girl Madoka" of the year.

Last week, the BD of the second season of "The Horse Racing Girl" was released, and it was sold out as soon as it hit the shelves.

Generally speaking, discs will be supplied based on data such as the popularity of the animation, the predetermined quantity, and the bonus items. After the first week's data is released, the supply will be adjusted according to the first week's sales in the following weeks.

Basically, it is unlikely that there will be an out-of-stock situation. However, the actual situation is that the BD of this animation was out of stock in the first week, and more BDs are currently being urgently rushed.

When Takagi Makoto heard the news, he looked dazed, because according to what he knew, Baige had prepared more than 120,000 copies of BD. It stands to reason that even the bonus items prepared by vugames are more attractive. People, it's impossible to sell more than 120,000 copies in a week, it's hard to understand.

However, this is the case, and you can't believe it.

Monday, morning.

Takagi Makoto came to DOS, and before entering the office, he found that Shingo Kitagawa was already waiting for him at the door of his office.

"What? Something?" Gao Mucheng asked puzzledly.

"President, sales..." Shingo Kitagawa replied.

Makoto Takagi understood that Shingo Kitagawa wanted to know the sales volume of the BD in the second season of "The Horse Racing Niang" for the first time, because Shingo Kitagawa was supervising both seasons of "The Horse Racing Niang".

Although Makoto Takagi learned from Akino Kawano about the BD selling out of stock, he did not tell Shingo Kitagawa, but was prepared to wait for the specific data to be returned and say it together.

The four generals of DOS, Takayama Sakurako has a high-sales and high-scoring masterpiece "Kingyin Girl", Asanuma Tetsuya has "lovelive", Komura Taro has "Girls and Chariots", and Kitagawa Shingo, although seniority is better than Komura Taro and Asanuma Tetsuya are much older, and their status within DOS is also higher, and they are all high-scoring animations, but...

Including the first season of "The Horse Racing Girl," Shingo Kitagawa has no works that have sold more than 30,000, let alone other supervising masterpieces that have sold more than 50,000.

Now, seeing that the sales of the second season of "The Horse Racing Girl" will be very high, he is even more nervous than Takagi Makoto, and he still needs to look forward to it, as can be seen from his two big dark circles under his eyes.

After guessing what was going on, Takagi Makoto shook his head slightly, opened his office, and then said: "Come in, find a place to sit down."

"Okay, thank you, the president." Shingo Kitagawa thanked him.

After entering the office, Makoto Takagi sat down at his desk, then turned on the computer, and while waiting for Kawano Akino to send him relevant data, he browsed the Internet to check industry information and understand the trend of the industry. At the same time, pay attention to the topics discussed by netizens.

Among the industry information, one of them caught his attention, saying that an animation production company had sued the planning company because that animation production company produced the animation, but the planning party only paid for the initial production costs. The production costs of the company are no longer paid, which leads to the possibility of bankruptcy of the current production company.

At first glance, this is a bullying by a planning company, but it's not that simple.

First of all, the animation production company received the invitation from the president's contacts, and because of this, it did not sign the relevant contract.

Secondly, this company did produce animation, but because the animation was caught in a plagiarism storm, there was no way to broadcast it.

If it is a well-made animation, the planning company will not give up the production cost, but the current situation is that the production company is plagiarizing and can't broadcast it at all. The planning company is not stupid, and it is a pure loss if it is given.

Don't look at it now that the production company has sued the planning company, but it is said that the planning company has decided to sue the other party and demand a refund of the initial production costs.

Below this information, a group of people are commenting: "The theater version of "White Box"?"

In fact, there is a similar plot in the "White Box" theatrical version, but it's just similar. Musashino in the animation will not plagiarize.

The reason why people feel similar is that in the animation, the former president of Musashinohara started to make the animation directly without signing a contract, but he was stopped as soon as he did it.

I spent money to make it, but didn't get the production funding. It can be said that it was a blood loss, and because of this, it caused the employees to leave one after another.

Because of the similarity in this respect, when the incident this time came out, people naturally thought of the theater version of "White Box".

The theater version of "White Box" was produced at the end of 18th and was released in June 20th. The word-of-mouth and box office were quite good. Probably because of this, it made many people think of it for the first time.

Takagi Makoto didn't think about that much, but thought that maybe in the future, he should pay attention to it, so that someday DOS would have to go to court for this kind of thing.

After browsing casually for a while, a new mail reminder appeared below.

Takagi Makoto opened it and took a look. It was the sales data of BD in the second season of "The Horse Racing Girl" and related analysis reports.

"The specific sales figures have come out." He immediately raised his head and said to Kitagawa Shingo.

"How much?" Shingo Kitagawa stood up quickly and ran to Makoto Takagi.

"129586." Takagi Makoto replied truthfully.

"How much?!" Beichuan Shingo was stunned, seeming to wonder if he had heard it wrong.

"129586, the record is broken. This is still out of stock. If the BD sales are not in short supply, the sales volume in the first week might reach 160,000." Takagi Makoto read the analysis report given by Baige.

Shingo Kitagawa: "..."

He was stunned on the spot first, then ecstatic.

Makoto Takagi feels a bit complicated, because if this continues, the new century animation sales record set by Puella Magi Madoka will definitely be broken by the second season of The Horse Racing.

But then I think about it, the first week of volume one has such a high sales volume, and the subsequent tired level is at least over 150,000. If there is another later version in a few years, it is not impossible that sales of more than 200,000 are possible.

Proper hegemony of the century.

This kind of animation is made by DOS, so it seems that there is nothing to be upset about.
