Chapter 153: Li Xi's opinion
The name of the third episode was broken the day after Keisuke Takahashi lost to Takumi Fujiwara.,He came to the gas station where Takumi Fujiwara worked and asked about 86 of Mt. Akina.γ
While admitting losing to the AE86 in front of many people at the gas station, he also said to Takumi Fujiwara's seniors at the gas station that he would not lose to the same person twice, and said that he would defeat the 86 in the official exchange battle on Saturday........
To be honest, Li Xi doesn't know much about cars, although he drives by himself, his understanding of cars only stays at the level of four tires, one steering wheel, accelerator and brake.
But even so...... Just looking at the name draft of the first three words of the initial text D, Li Xi's heart rose with expectations for this comic.
I wonder, what the plot will be like later?
Why does Takumi Fujiwara have such great racing skills?
Will he attend the official exchange meeting on Saturday, and if he doesn't, will the riders of Akinayama be swept by the Akagi REDSUNS?
Also, is the girl named Natsuki in the play the heroine?
Why did she feel so rusty talking to her dad in the manuscript?
With a light breath, Li Xi thought about it and re-read the three-word manuscript again.
"This work of yours...... Compared with your previous works, the style has changed a lot!" After a long time, Li Xi looked at Chu Yu and said.
"Well, indeed!" Chu Yu said.
"Do you know the car and the driver very well on weekdays?" Li Xi said suspiciously.
"I understand!" Chu Yu lied without changing his face.
He didn't know anything about cars, but this time he drew this work and just took it hard.
In the next period of time, he will take the initiative to make up for the relevant knowledge, and he will also go to register for a name and take the driver's license test, otherwise it will spread in the future, and the author of the initial D will not even have a driver's license, which will be really embarrassing.
It's just that now, Chu Yu must pretend that he is one of the enthusiasts.
Otherwise, Li Xi will definitely worry about the follow-up plot creation of this work, which will definitely be unfavorable to the double opening that Chu Yu wants.
"I didn't expect you to have such a hobby! I really can't see it on weekdays!" Li Xi shook his head and said.
"But seriously, this work, called Initial D, is indeed ..... Good looking!"
"It's a racing comic, but you don't have the usual way of starting from the perspective of a professional driver, but from the battle between amateur drivers, which really makes me feel very exciting. And readers will also have a sense of substitution for such a setting. β
After all, compared to professional drivers, most readers don't have that kind of setting that requires talent and money, but the son of a tofu shop owner with superb driving skills will undoubtedly make it easy for readers to substitute for the protagonist. β
The sense of substitution of the green hat will also be strong.
When Chu Yu heard this, he unconsciously complained in his heart.
"In three weeks, the Crimson Abyss will be over. Li Xi thought for a while.
"When the time comes, plus the three works that have been cut in half according to the regulations, there will be four serialization vacancies on the water edge. β
"Originally, according to common sense, with your past achievements, if you start a new work, and the quality is at the level of the initial D, it is not difficult to get a serialization seat. β
"It's just....... After all, you're Natsume's friend.,The account isn't over.,I can only say,I'll try to help you fight for this serialization opportunity.,The main thing is to see how the editor-in-chief's attitude is? If he agrees with you to open on the water's edge.,That's basically with the quality of the plot of this work.,I don't think there's anything wrong with serialization.γ β
"I understand this!" Chu Yu nodded.
Sometimes it doesn't mean that if he has a good work to submit, Shui Yuan will definitely serialize his works, so one day Chu Yu will pull out dozens of works, and he can still occupy all twenty serial seats in Shui Yuan?
How is this possible?
In a journal like Mizuri, there is a fight between the editors in the comic club behind every serial seat, how can a cartoonist be dominant.
So even if Li Xi thinks that the initial D is a very good work, he doesn't dare to pack a ticket and say that he will definitely be able to win a serialization seat for this work.
All she could say was to do her best.
"By the way, Li Xi!" Chu Yu took this opportunity to ask by the way.
"What's the matter?"
"As far as I have two short works, it may only be suitable for making two short animations of tens of minutes, not for comics, do you have any good solutions for such a situation?"
"Two parts...... Idea?" Li Xi had a strange expression.
"You're so productive!"
But after all, Li Xi can still understand Chu Yu.
It's like I haven't heard of the popularity of the flower name, although Li Xi regretted for a moment that he introduced this work to Jiuxing, instead of letting Chu Yu draw it in the form of a comic and serialize it in Xuangui.
But if you think about it carefully, I haven't heard of the popularity of the flower name, Chu Yu's script is indeed very important, but Jiuxing's animation production level, the selection of songs and voice actors also played a big role.
I really haven't heard of the name of the flower serialized in the comics on the turtle.,Maybe before the ending comes out, readers will be tear-jerking.,Maybe it was cut in half in the early stage.γ
Therefore, Li Xi can understand the idea of Chu Yu's two short works wanting to bypass the Xuan Turtle.
"Now that you know Huang Ming, if you have a new work that you want to make in the form of animation, do you still need to ask me?"
"Look for Huang Ming directly!" Li Xi said indifferently.
"But the last time I cooperated with Jiuxing, it was because they had such a plan, and the script with the unheard name met their requirements, so I had that opportunity to cooperate!"
"The two works I have in my hands now are both short stories, and I don't think Huang Ming would want to animate these two works. Chu Yu said with a frown.
"Well, indeed. Li Xi said.
"There was some luck in the last collaboration. β
"But Nine Star Animation is not necessarily a project initiated by them, in the animation industry, it is not uncommon for other companies to entrust them to customize animation! It's like some light games, the publisher agrees that there is potential, but for various reasons the popularity is not good, it is common to find an animation production company to make that work into an animation to increase the popularity of the work and drive the sales of the original work. β
"Since they don't necessarily have a new project that matches your two works, you can also pay for it yourself, so it's okay to ask them to animate your work!"
"What do you mean, I'll pay Jiuxing to help me make it?" Chu Yu pointed to himself.
"That's right!"
"Is this going to work? Not to mention whether I have the money or not, if I really commissioned them to help me make the work, then what?"
"I don't have a good way to solve these problems, such as how to make a profit from the work, what are the communication channels, and how to find professional talents to promote the work. Chu Yu asked.
"Then you can also cooperate with Jiuxing! You pay money, they contribute resources and animation production personnel, and when the time comes, the publicity and broadcast channels will be handed over to them, and the two of you can agree on the proportion of account sharing? Of course, the premise of this is that they can look at your work and think that your work has commercial value, and they may cooperate with you in this way!" Li Xi said slowly.
"It feels so troublesome!" Chu Yu's whole head was big.
What Li Xi said is not unreasonable.
In Chu Yu's opinion, even if the speed of five centimeters per second and the voice of the stars are drawn into comics, they cannot be serialized on the water edge.
In this case, it is better to make an animation directly and restore its original appearance.
I just didn't expect it to be so troublesome?
If Jiuxing has no intention, then Chu Yu can only ask Jiuxing to produce it at his own expense, and he has to find his own channel to broadcast it.
As for the production cost of the anime......
Chu Yu calculated, it was not impossible for him to make these two works at his own expense.
Today's Chu Yu has a one-page comic manuscript of 2,000 dragon coins, and nearly eighty or ninety pages of comic manuscripts in four chapters a month, and his monthly remuneration income is nearly 100,000 dragon coins.
Natsume's friend account has been serialized for more than half a year, and the manuscript fee received by Chu Yu minus daily expenses, assistant fees and tax deductions is still eight or nine hundred thousand dragon coins.
In addition, the millions of animation adaptation rights of unheard flower names, as well as the peripheral sales dividends of unheard flower names in the future, it is estimated that they will also bring Chu Yu millions of dragon country coins in the future.
Therefore, in the next few months, Chu Yu can raise a maximum of nearly three million Dragon Kingdom coins.
Do you think this amount of money is enough to make animations for two works, Five Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars?
On the surface, millions of people don't count as fart in the animation film and television industry, but in fact, ....... It's totally sufficient.
After all, in the parallel world, Makoto Shinkai only spent 25 million yen to make 5 centimeters per second, which is more than 1 million RMB, and it is also a high-consumption country like Japan in the parallel world.
As for the Voice of the Stars, it is the product of Makoto Shinkai's big package, and the cost is definitely lower.
Although animation production is a money-burning thing, it doesn't involve too many 3D scenes after all, and the price of the world's dragon country is definitely lower than that of Japan in parallel time and space, and the two works are only dozens of minutes of animation, plus Chu Yu has ready-made music or something, and you can save a lot of money.......
Thinking about it like this, Chu Yu felt ........ It seems that he paid for the production of these two works, and it is really dramatic!
As long as you can find a group of teams with excellent professional level through Huang Ming's relationship, it is best to reach the level of Makoto Shinkai Wallpaper Maniac.
Think deeper, if you can pull Jiuxing on the boat, let it become a shareholder in technology, and then the two parties will share dividends, then Jiuxing will definitely be willing to help these two works promote and solve the problem of communication channels........
Maybe, the work will become popular and make a lot of money........
Chu Yu shook his head vigorously, telling himself that he could just fantasize about this, and if he thought about it too much, he wouldn't wake up.
He certainly wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think things were that simple.
A large company like someone may not be able to look down on Chu Yu's small business of millions of dollars, Chu Yu wants to cooperate with others, but people may not be willing.
It's just that Li Xi's proposal is a development direction.
After all, Chu Yu and Huang Ming have been in contact a few times, this person is still easy to talk to, if he can really help Chu Yu solve the problem of the animation production team, then Chu Yu really doesn't care about investing money to make animation.
It doesn't matter if you lose some money, as long as the comic system is there, the money will be earned back sooner or later.
But it took an A-level lottery opportunity to draw five centimeters per second and the voice of the stars, if you can't find a way to get these two works back, Chu Yu is really heartbroken.
Otherwise, after drawing the names of the two works in the past two days, I really found an opportunity to ask Huang Ming out to explore his tone and see if he had any intention of animating these two works.
