The Darkness of the Industry
I always feel that this person seems to be thinking about something terrible… Kasumigaoka Shiwa suppressed the panic in her heart, and forced her face to remain stable, so as not to show timidity in front of Benizaka Zhuyin.
And at this time, Benizaka Zhuyin quickly turned around, took advantage of Xiazhiqiu Shiyu’s unresponsiveness, stepped forward quickly, pressed her shoulder, and said with a smile.
“Now the entire manufacturing committee needs your support! Teacher Xia Shizi!!”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was held down, subconsciously wanted to get up and struggle, but she forcibly restrained herself. She tilted her head back slightly to prevent her from getting too close to Akane Benizaka’s face, and at the same time secretly expressed her dissatisfaction. She narrowed her eyes and said pretendingly indifferently.
“I don’t think I have any ability to help you.”
“No, you have it, and it’s the ability that can play a decisive role.” Sensing Kasumigaoka Shiwa’s resistance, Benizaka Akane withdrew her hand, pulled over the plastic chair beside her, sat down, and tilted it up. legs.
“I should have said just now that there is a certain gap in the funding of the production committee.”
You said it, but what does it have to do with me, can I get money to invest in animation production? If I have money, I will definitely invest! Xiazhiqiu Shiyu groaned inwardly, and at the same time felt a little irritated by Benizaka Zhuyin’s behavior of going her own way. This woman never seemed to care about other people’s thoughts, she was so self-centered to the extreme.
Thinking of this, she habitually raised her right leg again, shaking it, and said at the same time.
“So what? Isn’t the production committee trying to solve things like funding?”
“But the committee has no money! Besides, are you sure I can still do this kind of job looking for investment? Don’t forget that I’m in a lawsuit with all my partners! While I’m in the lawsuit, I’m sending money to spend, They have the guts to give it, do I have the guts to spend it?” Hongsaka Zhuyin spread her hands, pouted nonchalantly and said.
It’s the first time I’ve seen someone who said he didn’t have the guts to say so grandly… Kasumigaoka Shiyu was a little dumb for a whileSpeechless.
“Okay, don’t worry about that, let’s talk about the funding issue.” Kosaka Zhuyin took out a cigarette pack from his pocket, shook out a cigarette again, and bit it in his mouth.
“Xiaoqian, you’ve smoked enough today, let’s drink some black tea and clear your throat.” Machida Yuanzi couldn’t stand it anymore, she stood up and reached out to grab the cigarette from Hongsaka Zhuyin’s mouth. But it was easily separated by the opponent’s right hand.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep it in my mouth. If it’s not on fire, Yuanzi, just go and make some tea. Hurry up and go!” Hongsaka Zhuyin casually patted Machida Yuanzi’s hand and urged the other party to leave. , and then turned his eyes and explained to Shiyu of the Hill of Xia.
“Generally speaking, a 12-episode, 25-minute episode each costs between 120 million and 300 million yen, and the production committee, a team set up by publishing houses, animation production companies, etc., will probably After raising 150 million funds, animation production will begin, which is a standard in the industry today.”
“Of course, it’s not that there is no production committee that has raised more than 150 million yuan. Because of high investment and high returns, committees with more money will naturally produce high-quality animations. This is already the law of the industry. With money guarantees, one season of animation 12 No matter how bad the episode is, there won’t be any picture collapse, and there is a great possibility that it will become popular~”
300 million yen? Kasumigaoka Shiyu silently recited this amount. If possible, she hopes that the production cost of the love metronome will be the limit.
“And then, the current production committee’s funds…”
Kosaka Zhuyin glanced at the back of Machida Yuanko who was making tea, secretly took out a lighter, lit it for herself, took a sip happily, and said with a whimper.
“Sanye Library’s 50 million funds, and the resurrection club’s 30 million funds, the gap is still about 70 million from the standard line.”
Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was stunned, and for a while, he couldn’t take care of the oncoming smoke, and said with an incredible expression:
“Why are there so many gaps?”
She previously thought that the manufacturing committee had raised at least the standard fund, which is 150 million yuan, but Hongsaka Zhuyin suddenly told her that the fund was still short by nearly half. This huge gap almost prevented Kasumigaoka Shiyu directly from the seat jump up.
She forcibly suppressed her restless mood, her right leg in black stockings couldn’t help shaking up and down, and there was a subtle but irritable sound.
“Such a big three-leaf library, it doesn’t even have 150 million funds, right? And when it comes to animation production, it’s not a one-time investment, but a monthly expenditure model. There are so many gaps, it’s too strange, right?”
“As soon as I heard it, I knew you were a layman. Do you think that making an animation is enough to make money?” Aksaka Zhuyin raised her eyebrows and looked at Shiyu Kasumigaoka with mocking eyes.
Xiazhiqiu Shiyu’s figure stopped for a while, and she couldn’t help frowning her eyebrows. She looked at Hongsaka Zhuyin in front of her with displeasure. She knew that she was a little naive, but being called out still made her quite unhappy, but she was curious in her heart. , which prompted her to keep using her eyes to urge Hongsaka Zhuyin to say the following.
Being stared at by Shiyu of Kasumigaoka, Kasaka Zhuyin leaned on the backrest indifferently, narrowed her eyes, and said while smoking a cigarette.
“The investment in a season of animation is to be earned back, and it is responsible for the promotion of the work.”
“The 50 million invested by Sanye Bunko will be earned from the distribution of novels and the operation of copyrights, and the 30 million invested by the two companies under the Resurrection Society will be earned from figures, peripheral toys and beverages. , the amount of investment and the proportion of investment are all important.”
“How much money you invest, you are responsible for how much publicity and operation for this work, and then how much profit you have to make back from it, and the promotion efforts must satisfy the idea of ​​animation practitioners being famous and their desire to make money. This thing , very complicated!”
When Kosaka Zhuyin said this, she shook the cigarette in her hand, ignoring Machida Yuanko’s black face staring at the cigarette in her hand, picked up the black tea the other party had made, took a sip, and continued.
“In recent years, the country across the sea has invested a lot in our animation industry, do you know that?”
Xiazhiqiu Shiyu’s eyes flickered a few times and nodded.
“Are they rich? There is money! How can a world power with a population of 1.4 billion have no money. But why are the animations we cooperated with? It’s not because they can’t satisfy the desires of investors and animation production companies in island countries!”
“The practitioners spend more than half a year and a lot of energy doing animation, a labor-intensive industry, in order to become famous and to make money! The premise of becoming famous is that the animations produced are distributed in the island, which will start them on the island. Domestic influence, access to domestic resources, and a large number of orders.”
“And the investors across the sea have invested so much money, but the market is not placed in the island country. The money they make is also earned in the heavens, and they still eat alone. Then don’t blame us for delivering some garbage animations in the past to recharge.”
Hearing the philistine tone of Akasaka Zhuyin, the corners of Kasumigaoka Shiyu’s mouth twitched, and she said with a rather strange expression. “This industry is really dark!”
“It’s normal, basically every mature industry is like this.” Aksaka Zhuyin shrugged and continued. “The reason for the low investment must be clear to you. Forget it, I’ll explain it again.”
“The 80 million invested is the limit of Sanye Library and Resurrection Society. Their resources are placed here.The way is here, they have the ability to earn 80 million yuan, and if they exceed the standard, there is a high probability that they will lose money. ”
“So, there are only so many funds that can be provided. Next, the funds we are looking for, or to be more precise, should be investors. We need to find those investments that are sure and have channels to earn the remaining 70 million yuan. People, and only in this way, an animation can begin to be produced.”
Saying this, Kosaka Zhuyin frowned, she touched the phone in her trouser pocket, got up and said to Shiyu of Kasumigaoka. “I’m sorry.”
“Please.”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded, and then watched Akasaka Zhuyin leave. After the door was closed, she leaned her head on the back of the plastic chair and sighed deeply.
“Huh~~Sister Yuan Zi, I somewhat understand what you said before, ‘it’s just the beginning’.”
“It’s a lot of pressure, after all, this industry is such a complicated thing, but according to Xiaoshi, you probably won’t give up easily, right?” Machida Yuanzi picked up the black tea, took a sip, and chuckled lightly. said.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu lowered her head slightly, her wine-red eyes reflected Machida Yuanko’s smile. After being silent for a few seconds, she suddenly smiled. “We’ve come this far, how can we lose here!”
“That’s it, then I’m relieved, but proper decompression is still necessary.” Machida Yuanko put down the teacup, smiled and blinked, her expression rather ambiguous.
I’m curious as to what way of decompression you think… Kasumigaoka Shiyu’s face flushed, and she thought of Yu’s face inexplicably.
At this moment, with a creaking sound, the door was pushed open roughly, and then closed with a soft sound.
Hongsaka Zhuyin walked in quickly, cast a glance at Shiyu of the Hill of Xia, then sat on the chair, raised her legs, and looked at Shiyu of the Hill of Xia.
“You’re lucky, the resurrection club plans to invest 30 million more, which seems to be the investment of the newly established brokerage company. It is the famous Sanjo Yukari, the ace manager of the resurrection club’s entertainment company. Speaking of which, I want to It’s still the interests of the record part, tsk, is it a famous song? That pop singer, the eldest lady of the star chaebol. By the way, your OP singer, which is a fan-made OP singer, fits her voice quite well? Is it possible Do you still know that kind of eldest lady?”
“Before you say this, the eldest lady of the Takasaka family, please understand your position.” Machida Yuanko couldn’t help rolling his eyes and said helplessly.
“I prefer you to call me President Kasaka.” Kasaka Zhuyin couldn’t help rolling his eyes and said.
“…”
Ignoring the bickering between the two, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu’s expression was slightly stiff. After hearing Xing Mingge, she couldn’t help contacting someone again.
Seriously speaking, the singer eldest lady also seems to be the foreign aid that Youqiang brought in… Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu sighed inwardly, she only felt that she seemed to owe more and more favors, maybe it would go on like this, she really I’m going to sell myself to pay off my debts.
“Forget it, I won’t tell you.” Akasaka Zhuyin, who was defeated in the fight, turned her head, looked at Shiyu of Kasumigaoka in front of her, narrowed her eyes, and raised the corners of her mouth.
“Now I have more and more confidence in you! There are 40 million left, and it’s time to show your communication skills. The remaining investors should preferably be people from TV stations, Fujimi, Toto, Asahi, and NHK. You can do it at home, or come together and divide up the remaining 40 million investment, of course, it would be better if you add more money.”
Hearing this, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu couldn’t help rolling his eyes. Together, these groups have divided up 99% of the island country’s radio resources. Are they still coming together? When she is a fairy? Thinking of this, she said angrily. “If I had these resources, would I still write light novels?”
“Why didn’t you?” Hongsaka Zhuyin immediately retorted, she squinted her eyes, looked at Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu with a slightly playful expression, and said in a seductive tone. “Don’t you still have a boyfriend~!”
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu blinked, staring blankly at Hongsaka Zhuyin, and the next second, her eyes suddenly sharpened.
“I understand, have you been waiting for me here from the beginning?!”
“Bengguo, you’re right!”
Kasaka Zhuyin laughed heartlessly, she was playing with her taste.
“So, what’s your opinion?”
Hearing this question, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu couldn’t help pursing his lips.
