Tokyo life starting with painting

The first sales dates for "Unnatural Death" and "June's Hymn" are fast approaching.

Both Higashino Studio and Tokyo Animation are eagerly awaiting the results of this sales.

The Blu-ray disc of "Unnatural Death" contains two episodes and also comes with a collection poster hand-drawn by Higashinoji himself.

This is a very traditional Blu-ray disc packaging method.

The pricing is also considered normal in the market. For 5,000 yen, you can take away the first Blu-ray disc of "Unnatural Death".

On the other hand, "Hymn of June" should be said to be a major production company?

I am so confident that I priced it at 6,500 yen.

Compared with "Unnatural Death", it only comes with a small gadget like a keychain, and it is also called a deluxe collector's edition.

Even Higashinoji looked puzzled when he saw this scene.

You must know that such a high Blu-ray disc price will inevitably affect the competition between "Hymn of June" and "Unnatural Death".

After all, not everyone can spend 6,500 yen to pay for "Hymn of June".

This ‘deluxe collector’s edition’ is even more of a joke.

Isn't it just an extra keychain that costs two to three hundred yen? Higashinoji really didn't expect that he directly added 1,500 yen - it felt like the "Super Luxurious Setting Collection" he published when he was at Tomishima Publishing House.

He sighed and said that capitalists are indeed powerful and have never fallen behind in their bad ethics, and then began to scan the sales of Blu-ray discs.

The first sales volume of "Unnatural Death" reached 20,000 units, which is much higher than the original sales starting point of 1.50,000 discs of "Winner is Justice".

This is a very good result.

Even when Yano Ryuichi and Seo Daigo saw this, they smiled with satisfaction and let out a big breath.

Yes.

As a new studio, being able to achieve such results again in its second animation production can be regarded as a major production worthy of Higashinoji's investment.

But after thinking about it, they also found that this was of course.

After all, "Unnatural Death" is supported by the original national-level manga by Higashino Tsukasa. There is nothing to say about the plot, and there are still a large number of loyal fans who will pay for it.

In addition, the production by Higashino Studio is also excellent, so it is understandable that it has reached this point.

After looking at the sales of "Unnatural Death", next are the results of several other animation companies that need to be concerned.

First of all, of course, Tokyo Animation is the company that needs the most attention this quarter.

Perhaps because of the "Deluxe Collector's Edition" of the Blu-ray disc, the sales volume of Tokyo Animation's "Hymn of June" stopped at 1.80,000 units, lagging behind Higashino Studio with a gap of 2,000 units.

But this result also surprised Higashinoji.

As expected of a leader in the industry, even if it launches an unscrupulous ‘deluxe collector’s edition’, there are still so many people willing to buy it.

If the name Tokyo Animation were replaced by MIC Animation, sales might plummet to some extent.

Thinking of this, Touyesi became even more confused.

Why does Tokyo Animation launch a ‘deluxe collector’s edition’? Isn't this affecting my performance?

never mind.

Since he didn't understand, Higashinoji didn't continue thinking, but looked down.

MIC Animation's "Akashi's Bizarre Daily Life" obviously no longer has the ability to challenge Higashino Studio head-on.

Their results were similar to the previous season. They hid behind with a sales volume of 1.29W discs and watched the fight between Tono Studio and Tokyo Animation. They were afraid that if they were not careful, the war would spread to their side.

You really don’t need to care about the sales volume of 1.29W discs. Higashino just glanced at it and continued to scan down.

Then he saw an acquaintance, Asuka Society.

As mentioned before, Asukasha is an animation production company that specializes in producing cute scenes between girls.

It has to be said that this company is still as Buddhist as ever. There was a video on the official website, but there was little promotion after that.

But the results are surprisingly good. The sales volume of 1.650,000 discs is not to say that it is the best among the others, but it is also second only to Higashino Studio and Tokyo Animation.

The attitude of this Buddhist animation production company has always been confusing.

Is it possible that all Buddhist people are so powerful?

But this has nothing to do with Higashinoji and the others.

Due to Tokyo Animation's inexplicable "Deluxe Collector's Edition" operation, "Unnatural Death" directly topped the Oricon list.

The next step is to maintain this top position.

Higashinoji discussed with Yano Ryuichi and the others for a while, and finally found that there was actually nothing to discuss.

After all, Higashino Studio has made perfect preparations in advance.

They quickly ended the meeting, and Dongye Studio temporarily entered a time of relaxation.

After all, during the period when the animation was broadcast, there was nothing much to do at Tono Studio, and most of the animation was completed.

Higashinoji also took Yano Ryuichi to play table tennis and beat him to 11:2 several times.

In fact, this can be regarded as taking care of Yano Ryuichi's emotions. In order to prevent him, the 'table tennis prince', from losing too much, Higashino also deliberately served several empty balls.

Seo Daigo, who had also completed his work during the period, saw Higashinoji and Yano Ryuichi playing ball. His hands were itchy and he stopped Higashinoji and wanted to play with him.

Seo Daigo also said that out of respect for Higashinoji, he would not let things go - he used to be a table tennis player at a famous university.

However, when the fight officially started, Seo Daigo also defeated Higashinoji several times and after 11:2, he never mentioned the matter of letting go again.

Release the water - impossible.

As far as playing table tennis is concerned, the Chinese people have indescribable advantages.

And wait until Higashinoji and the others come out after playing.

Kuromiya Meisa also happened to stand up holding a newspaper and handed it to Higashinoji.

As Higashino Tsukasa's apprentice, Kuromiya Meisa is now the original painting supervisor of Higashino Studio. She is a member of the main creative team and is considered to have a high position. She has replaced Higashinoji's responsibility of correcting the original painting.

Her character is usually very calm.

But something is different now.

Her expression looked a little weird, as if she was dazed by something in the newspaper: "Teacher Higashino, look at this."

"What's wrong?"

The sales situation of "Unnatural Death" was very good, and Higashinoji was in a good mood. He took the newspaper and took a look at it with a smile.

Then

Higashikata's expression suddenly became strange.

Quite weird indeed

What was reported in the newspaper happened to be what happened at Tokyo Animation.

It seems that the "Deluxe Collector's Edition" of "June's Hymn" that the marketing department suddenly wanted to sell made "June's Hymn" animation general director Hiramatsu Tokuno almost mad to death.

He rushed directly into the marketing department, picked up the person in charge of animation sales and beat him up.

I heard that I was in the karate club when I was in Hiramatsu Denou University.

Good guy.

Because the "Deluxe Collector's Edition" affected their production team's performance in winning the season championship, animation director Hiramatsu Tokuno was so angry that he directly attacked the person in charge.

And it’s a realistic version of real-person PK.

Higashino couldn't help but rub his temples, feeling that reality was indeed magical.

But in fact he had seen this twice.

The last time it was about his "Luxury Character Collection" for "Naoki Hansawa", the editor-in-chief Urashima brought Hosokawa Koharu and almost got into trouble with the marketing department.

As a result, this scene happened again in Tokyo Animation today.

And it made the news.

This is true

Higashikata and the others looked strange.

But it is obvious that Higashinoji still doesn’t understand Japanese corporate culture very well.

Some large companies and companies in Japan have a strict division of labor, and basically there is little communication and contact between departments.

Therefore, for the decisions made by this department, another department cannot give any decisions or opinions - this will make people in other departments feel that you are offending him and questioning his professional standards.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for the two departments to argue with each other in Japan.

"I thought it was because the production team of "Hymn of June" couldn't figure out what kind of deluxe collector's edition to launch. It turned out that it was something decided by their marketing department. This mistake is too big."

Looking at this news, Yano Ryuichi also suppressed his gloating smile and coughed twice.

No way, this is really funny.

But thinking about it on the other hand, this is probably also an inconvenience for large companies.

Start arguing over such trivial matters.

"Then we have to be more energetic and deal with it seriously for the next Blu-ray disc sales."

Seo Daigo looked at this news with a serious expression.

Yes.

This time there was a communication error between the production team of "Hymn of June" and the marketing department.

That's why "Unnatural Death" has a slight lead in sales of 2,000 discs.

But what about next week’s sales?

You can't just wait for the other party to make another mistake, right?

This is impossible.

Blacksmithing also requires one's own toughness.

Several people were analyzing and summarizing.

And the situation of Tokyo Animation on the other side.

Hiramatsu Tono and other members of the production team were really pissed off by the slutty manipulations of those bastards in the marketing department——

Just make a deluxe collector's edition.

What do you mean by raising the price by 1,500 yen?

Just add a keychain?

Is your keychain made of gold or silver? Or is it design by famous designers?

The people in the marketing department have always been like this! There is only money in the eyes.

Treating fans like fools, thinking they can buy them by just offering peripheral products.

The key point is that he is not a fool.

So far, the sales of its own discs are not as much as those of "Unnatural Death".

This is really——

"But there's no problem!" Pingsong Deneng encouraged: "Let Unnatural Death be proud of them this week! This is the only week they can surpass us!"

He continued: "The next time we sell, it's time to see the real deal. I've already said hello to the people in the marketing department and they will sell according to our original plan."

That's right.

The reason why I didn’t win “Unnatural Death” this time was because of this ‘deluxe collector’s edition’.

But next time it will be different.

Next time everyone sets the same price, let’s see how you can beat me!

The spring champion can only be from our "Hymn of June" production team! This time you were lucky enough to take first place! It won’t be so easy next time!

But before that—

"I still have to say hello to the people in the marketing department."

Ping Songde was afraid that something would happen again, so he stood up and prepared to join the marketing department.

As a result, before he could even take two steps, he was grabbed by a member of the creative team next to him.

"Mr. Hiramatsu, we can't go anymore. Several heads of the marketing department are afraid when they see us now. Just one time will be enough!"

yes.

If I go to the marketing department a few more times, I will be beaten to death by you.

Even if we make the disc by then, it will be a problem if no one is responsible for sales.

Moreover, the incident of you beating someone was on the news. Fortunately, it didn't cause any commotion, otherwise our entire production team would have to bear the blame.

You've also lost money, so don't make any more trouble.

Pingsongde was somewhat speechless when he was dragged along.

He immediately turned around and said with a serious expression: "I'm not here to beat people up and cause trouble. I just went over to talk. Who do you think I am? I've always convinced people with reason."

But no matter what Ping Songde said, the creative members below just wouldn't let him pass.

In the end, he had no choice but to sigh helplessly and stop.

Forget it, let’s see how the sales go next time.

but

Pinsong Deneng still glanced at the door of the marketing department bitterly, feeling an inexplicable urge that "the desire to kill is rising."

If you haven't played "Unnatural Death" next time.

That is to say, in this variety of discussions and concerns.

"Unnatural Death" and "June's Hymn" once again had their second sales.

This time is completely different from last time.

Due to the mediocre results last time, the sales of "Hymn of June" this time will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the production team.

The price was listed according to the market price of 5,000 yen, and the publicity was equally intensive.

In this way, their "Hymn of June" can be considered to be on the same starting line as "Unnatural Death".

A truly fair contest is about to begin.

I have to say that the cohesion of the "Hymn of June" production team is still very good.

Every time like this when the ‘examination results’ are about to be released.

Basically, every member is waiting for the marketing department to calculate the specific sales.

The atmosphere was silent.

I waited like this for almost half an hour.

News came from the marketing department - the statistical results are out! It has been handed over to the Administration Department for printing.

This made the members of the production team below suddenly become energetic.

Everyone turned to look at the printer who had just entered the production team's room.

"Finally here!"

Pingsong Deneng stood up and took the initiative to take the statistical form from the printer's hand.

The printer obviously heard of Hiramatsu Denon's "evil reputation". He handed over the statistics sheet and bowed and left. He seemed to be afraid that Hiramatsu Denon would beat him up when he got angry.

To be honest, Pingsong Deneng is very confident in the quality of the finished product of "Hymn of June".

If it weren't for the deluxe collector's edition forced by the marketing department last time, the number one spot would definitely be theirs.

Pingsong Deneng let out a breath, and then looked at the statistics table seriously.

"June's Hymn" statistics jump into view.

"Hymn of June", the second volume sold 2.10,000 pieces!

Compared with the last time "Unnatural Death" sales were a thousand pieces higher!

Thanks to book friends 20161221214715478, Three Thousand Stars, Thousands of Fate, Tea Rice Narcissus, and Eternal Yi for their rewards! Thank you so much!
