Chapter 208: On the right track
After Gu Yan left, Chu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, then turned his head to look at Huang Ming and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Brother Huang, something is wrong with you today! You are actually in the mood to make Gu Yan seem to have tried and made mistakes here so many times, and patiently pointed out her shortcomings, to be honest, the first time she felt wrong, I thought you would let her leave directly!"
"If I wanted to choose people for the animation production of Jiuxing before, I definitely didn't have that patience, but now time doesn't allow it, Gu Yan still has potential, I wasted so much time, just to see if she can meet the minimum requirements for the dubbing of Chengtian, Akari, and Mikako, but judging from the results, it seems to be pretty good!" Huang Ming looked at Chu Yu.
"And, it's mainly about you......."
"What do you mean by considering me?" Chu Yu asked.
"Brother Chu, you can comprehend the truth in this yourself! Seeing that you are still an ordinary person, how can you become like this in these aspects.......
Huang Ming shook his head and left his office to work.
.......
The personal grudge between Chu Yu and Lu Mu only lasted for a few days before it basically dissipated.
In terms of influence in the Dragon Kingdom, Lu Mu, who is just a deputy producer, is naturally far inferior to Chu Yu.
After all, Chu Yu has as many as two million Chu Yu fans in Weibo alone, and I don't know how many actual comic fans there are in the Dragon Kingdom.
But Chu Yu is in the animation industry, but he really ate his tricks.
The information on the change of voice actors of Five Centimeters per Second and the Voice of the Stars was announced by Huang Ming on the official Weibo of the two works after Gu Yan signed the contract, and Chu Yu forwarded it with his own account and paid attention to Gu Yan's Weibo......
Overall, in the eyes of Chu Yu's fans, this is just a daily personnel transfer, and they naturally don't know the truth inside.
But whether it was Chu Yu or Huang Ming, they were actually holding back their stomachs in their hearts, but both of them held back for the time being and devoted their energy to the production of the two animations.
And Gu Yan, the day after joining the animation production team, dubbed two works in a rented dubbing studio with several other voice actors.
It's just that Gu Yan's school is really close to the studio, so if Gu Yan is free every day, he will always come over here to learn and better understand the inner workings of the character, and come over to Chu Yu to explain to her the author's understanding.
As for Chu Yu, what can he understand?
Fortunately, there is the original animation, and the dubbing of the voice actors in it is already very good, so Chu Yu can only let Gu Yan get closer to that direction as much as possible.
Two weeks later, Gu Yan was basically familiar with everyone in the animation studio.
She often buys some fruits, snacks or something to bring here, and the whole studio has a very good impression of her.
.........
It's mid-to-late November.
"Chu Yu, eat some fruit!"
Nine o'clock in the evening is the indulgence time of the average office worker, but it is the busiest time for this animation studio.
Because of the two works, Chu Yu and Huang Ming, the two investors of the five centimeters per second and the voice of the stars, if there is no situation, they usually finish the work at hand during this time period and come here to watch the production progress of the animation.
And after Gu Yan got acquainted with everyone, after completing his dubbing work during the day, many times he would come over at night to help everyone.
"Oh, thank you!" Chu Yu asked while picking up a plate of peeled apples brought by Gu Yan and eating them with a toothpick.
"What about the dubbing of the two works?"
"If you read five centimeters in seconds, Akari's girlhood part has ended, and it should start next week, and the dubbing of the Chengtian part will be carried out, and the voice of the stars, Mikako's dubbing will officially start next week, anyway, the time left for us is only about three weeks, and we have to make some time for post-processing!" Gu Yan said while looking at the scene depicted by Chu Yu on the drawing paper.
Nowadays, the two works are carried out simultaneously in the major sections, soundtrack, dubbing, animation post-production, and publicity, basically according to Huang Ming's plan.
If any link is delayed, it may affect the progress of other links, if it weren't for Huang Ming coordinating these things, Chu Yu really couldn't handle it.
Fortunately, in terms of funds, Chu Yu did not drop the chain, and he did not hear the share of the peripheral sales of the name, and his manuscript fee was not delayed, but the issuance of the account book of Natsume's friend, although nearly a month has passed since the release date, the three single books have sold a total of nearly two million copies, and the royalty share alone should have an income of four or five million dragon coins, but this money has a settlement cycle, and it has not yet arrived, otherwise Chu Yu may directly join the investment and spend more money for Huang Ming to promote.
Nowadays, open the animation section on various video websites, open it a little, it is basically the frozen witch, Xia Cheng, I kneel on the washboard in the other world, the promotional information of these big-scale animations broadcast in January, on the other hand, the introduction of five centimeters per second and the voice of the stars, the location is very biased, so Chu Yu wants to see if he wants to mortgage his hometown house and use it for publicity.
But after Chu Yu told Huang Ming his thoughts, he was dissuaded by him.
"If we make additional investment, the cost recovery pressure of our two works will be too great!"
"It's just two short animations that can only be split into four episodes, but there are five million production costs, after all, we are now a private animation studio, and we are not well-known, so the broadcast price of the animation cannot be too high, otherwise the high price will drive away those hesitant audiences. ”
"But I have full confidence in the quality and plot of our two works........ Although the production cost is not high, but because of it, I will be bold, and I have negotiated with the major websites, and I will play it at the price of paying 1.5 dragon coins per episode, and I won't say much about the specific calculation process, because these two works are not suitable for the development of peripherals, so we want to recover our investment cost of 5 million, at least more than 10 million online broadcasts, that is, more than 2.5 million per episode, in order to protect the capital........"
"For the first animation produced by a small animation studio with low investment, no gimmicks, and no fame, even if I take into account Brother Chu's popularity, it is a bit difficult to achieve such an achievement, and then add funds to promote it, basically the investment and return are not proportional!"
Chu Yu heard it in a fog at the time, but was finally persuaded by Huang Ming.
It's just that I don't care about the return line of Huang Ming's average collection of 2.5 million, after all, the unheard name is calculated as an average of 9 million, although there is no investment and publicity like the previous Nine Star production of the unheard name, it will not be so much worse than the unheard flower name of the two works of five centimeters per second and the voice of the star!
But for the time being, I only have these funds, so I can only dispel those thoughts.
"By the way, Producer Huang said that next week he plans to intercept some dubbing and soundtrack parts that are completed at a speed of five centimeters per second, and make them into a trailer short story and release it. Gu Yan said suddenly.
"Yes. Chu Yu nodded.
It's basically December after next week.,For a work that aired in January,It's already very late to release a promotional video a month in advance.。
But fortunately, as far as it is now, the progress is in Huang Ming's plan, and there is no problem with the broadcast of the two works in January.
