Chapter 187: The IP Operation of "Rebellion"! (1st Update)
"Oh, I was robbed by Shueisha. ”
"There's no way around it, after all, they have a lot of money. ”
"I'm very unwilling, it's obviously the best opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Ghost Go. ”
"But congratulations. ”
This so-called investment promotion has a very big momentum, and it was even advertised in the newspaper, but the final result was a little fast.
There is no way, some people don't come according to the regulations at all, and directly raise the price high.
Many publishing houses that are not strong enough will simply not play.
In the end, Shueisha came up with a high price of 150 million, which can be regarded as getting the new work of Mr. Onigo.
Everyone is naturally envious, and Kadokawa, which is the most competitive, is quite unwilling.
"You Shueisha have really invested a lot of money this time. Editor-in-chief Tanaka couldn't help but sour.
"Editor-in-chief Tanaka, I'm really embarrassed, but we can't miss the work of Mr. Onito. "Kujo had no choice but this time.
In other words, Kujo's editor is not a high position, and he is currently only one of the editorial team leaders within Shueisha, can such a figure decide a business of 150 million yen?
Although, this 150 million yen is in the eyes of Higashino Qiang......
"Ahhh......h That's 50,000 yen for a piece of manuscript paper!"
No matter what the others do, Mr. Keigo is very drifting.
He was really satisfied, because the 150 million yen from Mr. Kigo was really worth 50,000 yen per piece of manuscript paper.
50,000 yen, this is the original manuscript material of Junichi Watanabe, that is to say, once you get this original manuscript material, you will have a rough status.
Can you be unhappy?
Higashino Qiang is still wearing the helmet of Mr. Uigo, but he has a chance to respond to this ghost by taking a break for now.
"What is this? Isn't it 1.5 million dollars?"
That's right, 150 million yen is indeed equivalent to 1.5 million US dollars.
Well, that's a lot of money.
Mr. Keigo couldn't help but complain, "Saikyo, you guy, stop pretending!"
What else can Higashino do with him?
I had to laugh and say, "Of course I'm happy, but this manuscript material is actually less than 50,000 sheets." ”
There's a calculation problem here.
In terms of 1 million words, the number of manuscript sheets is about 3,000.
150 million yen, which falls on each piece of manuscript paper, is indeed 50,000 yen.
But this time, I set up a bookstore and advertised on the Asahi Shimbun, but there is a cost to this operation.
If you do a simple calculation, the original material is probably more than 30,000 yen.
But it can't reach 50,000.
So, that's disappointing?
Of course not.
Although, I set myself a goal to become a strong person, which is 50,000 yen of original materials!
However, for the time being, Higashino himself feels that Kigo-sensei is not yet up to the level of 50,000 yen.
It's always right to give it a try, and the results are pretty good.
Moreover, this is not something that anyone can do.
No money, no creativity, can it work?
The most important thing is to be confident!
And there is ...
Higashino Qiang smiled: "Mr. Keigo, it's not over yet, it's just the beginning." ”
"Hah! I know!" said Mr. Keigo, who was even more pleased.
After the completion of this investment, I am not in a hurry to leave, especially in this cultural village, there are not only banquet halls, but also some small rooms for people to chat.
Ghost Go-sensei reappeared, and this time it wasn't just Kujo who was facing it.
"Hello Mr. Kigo, please let me introduce you. "Kujou has one more person next to him, thinner and wears glasses," this is our editor-in-chief, Mr. Masahiko Ibaraki. ”
"Hello, Mr. Ibaraki. ”
"Hello, Kigo-sensei. ”
The two saluted.
As soon as Higashino saw this Ibaraki in his helmet, he felt something.
Some are like the editor-in-chief in "The King of Comics", but they are not that old.
In fact, that's right, this Ibaraki Masahiko is the one who appeared in "The King of Explosive Comics", and at this time, he didn't take over "Jump" not long ago.
The former editor-in-chief died unexpectedly, so Ibaraki took over.
Such news, Higashino Qiang has long known it.
So, what's next...
"Editor-in-chief Ibaraki, a lot of things, I'll leave it to Hisagi. ”
Hisagi is in high spirits, and he talks eloquently with the style of a president.
What he said was what Higashino Qiang told him before.
First, "Rebellion" will indeed have a million words.
Second, it will be published in three parts.
Third, and most crucially, that is, "Rebellion" will be linked to comics and animation.
In short, after the first one is published, the manga will follow, and when the time comes, the anime will be on the air.
Other words...
"Wow! Mr. Ghost wants to create a big IP!"
Ibaraki is a powerful person, and he understands it right away.
The so-called IP actually refers to intellectual property rights, but in terms of the cultural industry, this is equivalent to operating a copyright.
Higashino Qiang nodded at this time, and Mr. Kigo's voice appeared, "Editor-in-chief Ibaraki, my new work this time is very different from my previous works, the first is the writing, it has a sense of camera, a sense of scene, and the whole work is a reconstructed world, not as before. However, there are many reasoning plots in it, which can be regarded as a combination of old and new literary works, and a new exploration. ”
What Higashino Qiang said is nothing more than a problem of risk.
But Ibaraki immediately laughed and said, "Ghost Go-sensei, we have also considered this point, and one of them is that we have not had a successful mecha manga in Jump magazine for quite some time, and this is indeed an adventure. ”
Yes, exactly.
After hearing this, Hiagi looked at Mr. Kigo.
Kujo's gaze also turned to him at this time.
I only heard Higashino Qiang say: "I have confidence, and I also believe that you have enough confidence in the editor-in-chief of Ibaraki." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ibaraki laugh.
"That's right! Even though there have been many failures before, we still hope that Mr. Kigo and Mr. Ken Kobata will still have it! Moreover, I just listened to Mr. Kigo's thoughts, and it is really very good, and the follow-up of this animation is also the key. ”
Higashino nodded with a smile, of course, no one could see his smile.
Animation is really a key.
In the case of "Rebellion", it was originally an original animation, and it was related later.
Mecha anime has a characteristic, that is, it should show the refreshing feeling of battle well.
How did the thrill of the battle come from?
Obviously, comics have a natural disadvantage in this regard, after all, they can't animate.
In terms of fight scenes, the historical level is "Dragon Ball".
Akira Toriyama's technique is really superb, but even so, when it comes to painting, such as the battle with Majin Buu, it can be dealt with.
With one move, you can draw three storyboards, which no one can see and don't want to draw.
However, "Jump" is all about blood, and it is about fighting.
In the case of mecha comics, it is really not easy in this regard.
However, Higashino believes in Mr. Ken Ohata.
The other means is to make the animation available early.
The animation will be able to move, so you can make up for the shortcomings.
In this way, it becomes a mutually reinforcing situation.
Higashino Qiang wants to create this IP, and Shueisha can provide the best resource conditions.
Or, maybe it's because the editor-in-chief of Ibaraki saw this, so he grabbed the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Kigo at such a high price.
Next, everyone talked a lot again, and it became more and more enthusiastic.
The operation of the "Rebellion" IP, so to speak, started from this moment!
……
"saikyo! awesome! haha...... I didn't expect such a change. ”
"Mr. Keigo, that's how little you know, this kind of operation, hehe......"
Higashino Qiang said in his heart, the work "Rebellion", in fact, is the most like online literature, and this is the place.
That's right, my ghost teacher, wants to add this work to Japan by means of IP operation of online literature!
If it succeeds, what is 150 million yen?
It's only $1.5 million.
Mere trifle.
It's just that now, there is no need to say everything, after all, he is in the process of transformation, that is, in the bathroom.
When he took off his helmet and returned to Higashino Qiang's identity, this time he came out, and he saw a person.
"Teacher, Watanabe-sensei has been waiting for you for a while. ”
"Oh. ”
Hiagi was a little apologetic, but he still made enough courtesies.
Standing next to him was Junichi Watanabe.
"Higashino-kun, can you talk?" The old man had a smile on his face, making it difficult for Higashino to refuse.
"Let's talk about it. ”
So, the two of them chatted while walking.
……
"Higashino-kun, I came here this time, and I gained a lot, I didn't expect you to be so smart, haha, you can open a way from Ishihara-sensei's suppression. ”
It must be said that this Junichi Watanabe speaks quite nicely, and the words are even more ingenious.
Higashino Qiang immediately replied: "It doesn't seem to be suppressed, is there any?"
pretending to be stupid and stunned, a little powerful.
Junichi Watanabe had a smile on his face, "I'm not here to be a meticulous worker, you can rest assured." ”
He understands that Higashino Qiang treats him and Ishihara as the same kind of people.
This one...... There are some similarities, but there are also many differences.
Higashino Qiang was still vigilant, "Sir, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Watanabe Jun nodded, he estimated that it would be difficult for Higashino Qiang to take off his guard immediately, so he smiled: "Actually, I was really deeply moved by the appearance of so many ghost teachers that day. All I did before,All I did was follow the rules.,Now it's all in the past.,As for the future.,I really think that Ghost Go-sensei should write more excellent works.,Naoki should have a place for Ghost Sensei.。 ”
No matter how straightforward this is, even Higashino Qiang was very surprised.
"Mr. Watanabe, what do you mean ......?"
Junichi Watanabe said even more simply: "There is a saying in China, there is no first, it is really exquisite, we old men, sometimes have such thoughts, as for Ishihara Sensei, he is probably not broad-minded enough, and he has a lot of thoughts." I just want to say that Naoki is not alone in power, this door is still open. ”
After hearing this, Higashino did not speak for a while.
Junichi Watanabe didn't say anything more, and said goodbye.
At this moment, Mr. Keigo couldn't help it.
"saikyo! This old man is clearly telling us that we should also attack Naoki again!"
Higashino had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and pretend to make a call.
"This award, for me, does not have any substantial benefits. ”
When Keigo heard this, he pursed his lips and said, "What if I can become a Buddha!"
This is a great temptation for Higashino.
So, what's next...
Mr. Keigo was even more straightforward, "Isn't there still 'White Night Walking'? Besides, aren't you the most liberal college student in Japan?
That's true.
But just when Higashino Qiang wanted to say something, the phone in his hand suddenly rang...
PS: The first more sends, sorry, overslept, I will work the black car today! I don't dare to brag now, and see if my thinking is smooth, thank you for your support!
