Welcome To the World of Power Supremacy

"Okay, the school supports students to have their own careers without affecting their studies. I will tell the classroom teachers and the guards about your writing about Sword Art Online, do you need me to keep it a secret?"

Although publicizing that the best-selling light novel writer is a student of Toyonozaki Academy will increase the school's popularity, the chairman is not someone who ignores the opinions of students because of his interests, let alone Igarashi.

"no need."

After leaving the chairman's office, Igarashi sent a message to Machida Yuanzi, asking about the animation. Machida Yuanzi, as the editor-in-chief of Fantastic Library, is also in charge of the editor of Sword Art Online, with great authority, knowing Igarashi After caring about the animation, he said that the entire animation was made exactly as Igarashi intended.

Machida Yuanzi said this. Part of the reason is the close relationship between the two, and the other part is that the editor-in-chief believes in Igarashi's ability. Of course, if the quality of the animation is not good, the library will be re-produced. Undead Chuan Bookstore has already stated that it wants all of its bookstores to assist Sword Art Online, and intends to create a record in the light novel world. Naturally, it has a lot of preferential treatment for Igarashi as the author.

Making anime is a high-investment and high-risk thing. For a good episode of more than 20 minutes, the animation company needs to spend more than 10 million yen in total. If there is a battle scene, it will be more. With such a high investment, if the final The products of the company cannot satisfy the audience, which will be a fatal blow to small companies.

Therefore, there are not many animation production companies that rely on original animation for a living. This kind of animation adapted from light novels is produced by Bunko and commissioned by animation companies. There are benefits, of course, if the animation is popular, it will be enough for the participants to earn a lot of money.

With the cooperation of all parties, what kind of works will be produced after investing more human and material resources than the original work? For the animation of Sword Art Online, Igarashi is looking forward to it. What he is looking forward to is not the monetary benefits, but the animation itself and the benefits it brings. Influence, but let's filter animation companies now.

Greeted a few girls from Toyonozaki Academy. I was excited to go to Tokyo to see Eri Riri, who was produced by Sword Art Online animation. After negotiating with Igarashi, I will bring it when I have time during the Igarashi vacation. After she promised to go to Tokyo to see the progress together, she stayed at the school with satisfaction, while Shiyu Kasumigaoka and Megumi Kato were not very interested in it. After knowing that Igarashi would not stay in Tokyo for a long time, she felt relieved.

Chapter 139 Animation Company

Igarashi, who came to Tokyo, is sitting in the reception room of the Fantastic Bunko headquarters and looking at the information of animation companies that Bunko thinks are strong enough. After these animation companies expressed their intention to animate Sword Art Online in Fantastic Bunko, they all looked like Cats swarmed like cats that smelled fishy.

Bones Club, JCStaff, Kyoto Animation, etc., the number of companies is so large that Igarashi is a little dazzled, but each company has its own characteristics and it is difficult to give up. more difficult to choose.

Looking at the frowning Igarashi, Machida Yuanko, who was sitting opposite him, was happy to see Igarashi working hard for Sword Art Online, but he felt a little distressed and couldn't help suggesting.

"If it is difficult to decide, several companies can make it together."

When several animation companies make the same animation together, they will combine their respective points, but at the same time, the investment will also be greatly increased, and the negotiation time will also be prolonged. The headquarters of the Undead Chuan Bookstore supports it, and it is not impossible to do so.

Although I don't know much about animation production before, Igarashi also knows that if an animation is produced by several companies, the integration of different styles may raise the quality of animation to a higher level, and it is more likely to produce a four dissimilarities. After thinking about it, fifty Lan abandoned this bold idea.

"There is an animation company that has been contacting Wenku for the past few days, and its strength is not bad. Would you like to meet them?"

Machida Yuanzi's harmonious and soft words in front of Igarashi are enough to surprise anyone in the library who is familiar with the editor-in-chief's character. That boss, who is very assertive and practical, can be so gentle with his writers, even if it is a Top selling author.

"OK."

Igarashi was a little surprised. Bunko did not issue an official announcement on the animation of Sword Art Online, and other animation companies just communicated their information and intentions to Bunko. There were even animation companies that contacted for several days, so Igarashi felt a sense of initiative. Get interested.

Machida Yuanko looked a little surprised after hanging up the phone. Now the editor-in-chief, who was wearing an OL uniform with a small mouth, looked a little cute. Igarashi poked Miss Machida's tender and pretty face, and got a scornful white eye. .

"The animation company is called A-1Pictures, and the president has been near our library headquarters all the time. He will come over after a while."

"Oh? So I'm going to face the president of an animation company later. I'm a little excited when I think about it."

"Then, the editor-in-chief of Sword Art Online's library, why didn't I see your excited expression when facing me."

Igarashi's words reminded Machida Yuanzi of the very calm boy when the two first met, which left a deep impression on him, but he didn't expect him to be so bold, thinking of Igarashi getting along with him Machida Yuanko felt a little hot at the aggressiveness he showed at the time.

After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in quite formal clothes came to the conference room. After seeing the editor-in-chief of Fantastic Bunko Machida Yuanko and the young Igarashi who looked like a student but had an extraordinary temperament, he bowed seriously.

"Editor-in-chief Machida, this must be Mr. Yamabuki. He's really young. I'm Yukoshi Fokoshi, the president of A-1 Pictures."

Although President Rakugoshi's attitude is very comfortable, but Igarashi is not a guy who is fluttering just because of a few words. After introducing each other, Machida Yuanko handed over the rhythm to Igarashi.

"Since President Luoyue has worked hard to come here, he must have some understanding of Sword Art Online, right?"

"Yes, for the animation of Sword Art Online, our company has produced an animation as a sample, and Mr. Yamabuki can take a look."

Igarashi was a little surprised by the resolute and resolute character of Friends Luoyue. I thought that this person who was ups and downs in the workplace and reached the position of president would say something that sounded very beautiful, but actually had little value. The result is directly produced. It takes 10 million yen to make an animation of more than 20 minutes. Even if Luoyueyou only produces a few minutes of animation without dubbing, the cost should be more than one million. A1P company has Courage.

He took the USB flash drive handed by Yukoshi, and projected the animation on the screen in the reception room. Although there were no dubbing characters, the characters of Kirito and Asuna had already appeared, which surprised Igarashi the most. , or Aincrad in the animation, that floating city is so realistic that it is dreamlike and gorgeous. The various scenes inside are just like reality, and the flashing battle scenes have very obvious light and shadow special effects. Getting up makes the blood flow.

He has enough enthusiasm for making Sword Art Online, and has the corresponding strength, and the company leader is not someone who steals and plays tricks. Igarashi has already made a decision in his heart.

"A1P's level of animation production is excellent."

Igarashi's compliment made Luoyue Yu heaved a sigh of relief, but he did not take the credit for his own company.

"Actually, most of the scenes and combat special effects in this animation are produced by our company and ufotable company. If Mr. Yamabuki nods, the quality of Sword Art Online animation will be based on this animation, by our A-1 Pictures and ufotable. The company is co-produced and will not be above average in terms of price.”

Yes, in the absence of any guarantees in the future, Luoyueyou not only let the company make this animation with all its strength, but also negotiated with ufotable, an animation production company with the world's top photography team, for a long time to achieve the current results.

Before Igarashi could speak, Machida Enko, who had been silent, spoke up first.

"As long as Mr. Yamabuki agrees, the price will be invested by Bunko. The estimated amount of each 24-minute animation is 20 million yen. If necessary, the budget can be increased. President Luogoshi does not have to worry about this aspect."

Luoyueyou's eyes shine brightly. As the president of a large-scale and well-known animation company in the industry, Luoyueyou is no longer just a profit-seeking businessman. He expects his company to produce an animation company. A work that can make history.

However, most of the light novels and comics that are used as adaptation materials are not of high quality. For original animations, A1P does not have enough creativity and experience, and Sword Art Online, the light novel that has led the boom in the whole neon, Let Luoyueyou see the opportunity, with 20 million in an episode, Luoyueyou is confident to integrate all eye-catching animation skills into animation to create a shocking work.

Now, as long as Yamabuki, the author of Sword Art Online, who is very young, but gives a lofty feeling, agrees, A1P has taken the first step of success, while Friends of Luo Yue looked at Igarashi nervously.

Chapter 140 Happy Cooperation

Noticing the look in Yukoshi Yukoshi's eyes, Igarashi did not answer him according to his wishes.

"If Sword Art Online is animated, what should I do?"

If one’s own works are animated, light novel authors can get a certain amount of benefits even if they don’t work hard. For all works to be animated, the authors are the original works or original paintings. As for how many responsibilities to perform, it depends on the wishes of both parties. .

Rakutsu-yu couldn't judge the thoughts of Igarashi, who didn't fluctuate much in expressions or words, so he had to answer according to the actual situation.

"Yambuki-sensei is the original work. If you want, you can also supervise."

Tomo Luoyue refers to the superintendent, who is the director of the entire animation. It is not easy for a young Igarashi to write such an excellent light novel as Sword Art Online, but Yuroyoshi does not think that He still has achievements in animation, but the others at A1P and ufotable are enough to do all the work, and if the young man wants to make a name for himself or enjoy the feeling of commanding others, Luoyueyou will also agree.

"It's okay to supervise, I don't know much about animation production, but I still know the various settings of Sword Art Online, so I'm happy to cooperate with the president."

"Thank you, it's a pleasure to cooperate, Mr. Yamabuki."

Although the editor-in-chief of Fantastic Library has not spoken yet, Luoyue Friends already knew about the animation of Sword Art Online and won it by himself. Even if it has been wind and rain for a long time, Luoyue Friends is a little excited at this time, and there is a smile on his face. .

Tsk, obviously it was Bunko who contributed the capital and went through the relevant procedures, but Igarashi actually made a final decision on his own words. Machida Yuanzi glanced at Igarashi a little annoyed, but he had said in advance that Igarashi would decide, and then Coupled with the relationship between the two, the editor-in-chief naturally wasn't really angry.

"The library will come forward to negotiate with your company in the follow-up work."

"Okay, and our company is in Tokyo. If Mr. Yamabuki is interested, you can come and inspect it at any time. The animation of Sword Art Online also needs Mr. Yamabuki's attention."

After leaving the contact information and company location, Luoyueyou left. Although he is the president of A1P, he is not familiar with the company's various affairs. It is still up to professionals to discuss cooperation.

"Igarashi-san, you made me feel very relaxed."

After Tomo Rakugoshi left, the reception room became only Igarashi and Enko Machida again. Remembering that Igarashi ignored him and discussed with Tomo Rakugoshi before, Enko Machida said word by word.

Uh, no, it's all jealousy? Scanning with mental power, I found that there was no one around, and the image of the editor-in-chief would not be destroyed by the next thing. Igarashi felt relieved and directly hugged Machida Yuanzi's soft waist.

"You, what are you doing!"
