Chapter 128: Plagiarism

Every weekend, major manga clubs hold their own editorial team meetings, and Manjima Club is no exception.

The weekend leadership meeting of Mandao Club, the direction of the meeting discussion changed from the cartoonist signing event that originally planned next week's magazine to the P station.

After the update and revision of station P arrived in the morning, the basic federal animation industry already knew about it, and such news not only gave station P users a big surprise, but also brought a great shock to the industry.

Now the industry has just been involved with the animation industry, and the first five-year plan for the industry since the federal open entertainment has been launched, although the comic adaptation is the first time in the federation, in fact, it is also the model that existed in the original imperial era, but the federal entertainment restrictions have just been opened, the division of the market is serious, and the associations are independent of each other, belonging to the industry competition, at the beginning, they only focused on their own one-third of an acre, and they have not yet developed into the market model of the old era.

Now five years have passed, the animation industry has reached a bottleneck period, and more excellent works are urgently needed to expand the scope of influence, so the topic of cooperation between them has been put on the agenda.

"Why did Bluestar Entertainment also adapt the animation, and who did he work with?"

Mie Fukuhara, deputy editor-in-chief of Mandao Club, learned that today's P station was revised, the animation network was launched, and three upcoming animated works were announced, and her reaction was that it was impossible!

Which animation company will cooperate with them at this time, although the industry has only announced the first batch of animation list of 20 films, but in fact, the original internal plan has almost confirmed the animation works for the next quarter.

Coupled with the animation company's own original works, the next six months, the schedule for producing animation is full, and basically no animation company will have the spare manpower to produce comics that are not within the association.

At present, there are only more than 40 professional animation production companies in the industry, except for some ** animation teams, basically all animation companies are running at full capacity, and all the energy is invested in the new animation plan for the cooperation between the two sides in December.

At present, there are more than 40 animations in the screening on average every week, such a number, if you compare Xia Ziyu's memories when he was on Earth, the animations broadcast by all TV stations in the Neon Country of Earth every week add up to about this number.

However, the Federation of Great Asia is different from the neon country on the earth, which only has a small land area, and more than 40 animation works a week have basically saturated the domestic market.

For the eleventh district of the federation, forty animations are just enough to meet the operation of each animation company, and it is far from satisfying in terms of market.

Although there are more than 10 districts in the Greater Asia Federation, although the administration and culture of each district are very different, even if it is the same federation, the cultural transmission between districts is also in the form of semi-import and export.

In order to meet the cultural needs of different regions, District 11, which is at the peak of the two-dimensional culture, naturally wants to export its own culture to other regions.

Because sometimes, different regions, due to different regional customs, will welcome different types of works.

Therefore, more than 40 animations, in many regional TV stations, will only show a few films, and now the cooperation between the two associations is to open up the huge market of the Federation, rather than limiting the two-dimensional culture to the 11 districts alone.

Although most people in the current federation as a whole know and understand anime, it does not mean that anime has become popular throughout the federation, at best, anime is only the mainstream entertainment culture in the eleventh district.

In other regions, each has its own mainstream entertainment, such as the first district, or various entertainment programs and Xianxia novels or TV series dominate.

Among them, the area with the highest acceptance of the ACG culture of District 11 is the adjacent District 1, and there are many similar cultural styles between the two regions, making the ACG culture of District 11 the most prosperous audience area outside the district.

In particular, the developed economic system and population base of the 1st district have made animation products the best-selling area outside of the 11th district.

As the highest administrative region of the Federation, the First Region has a natural advantage, both in terms of area and population, it belongs to the first class in Greater Asia.

Although each region has its own culture and customs, if you want your own culture to stand on the mainstream stage of the Federation, you should first export your culture to the highest administrative region of the Federation, as long as the culture is accepted by the First District, it is basically equivalent to becoming the mainstream of the Federation.

Therefore, the animation works selected by the Comics Association this time, which belong to the most popular comic works in the first district, in order to make the animation culture in Daya to a higher level, the two associations in the 11th district will aim at the market in the first district.

You must know that compared with the number of animation companies, the comic clubs recorded in the name of the Comics Association will be more than three times, large and small comic clubs, which can cooperate with animation companies to develop comic adaptations and animations, and there are more than ten of them in the forefront, as for other comic clubs, it is estimated that when the market is more mature in the future, such an opportunity will also be obtained, but in terms of the current market size of the industry, it is not the turn of these second- and third-rate comic societies to share the cake.

In order to expand the animation market of the entire Greater Asia Federation, the twenty comics carefully selected by the two associations are all works without regional cultural restrictions, just to better promote comic culture.

At the same time, Sakura Satellite TV, which was co-screened this time, is a satellite TV, and the fixed viewership is basically around 500 million.

Therefore, compared with the tens of millions of sales of comics and the hundreds of millions of viewers of animation, the economic benefits that can be derived are completely immeasurable.

Originally, Mandao Club, which relied on this, could already ignore Blue Star Entertainment, their webtoon platform, to be honest, was really wary at the beginning, worried that it would be seized of the market in comics, after all, online channels have natural advantages compared with physical bookstores.

Because P station comics have too many advantages over their comic magazines, whether it is the free strategy of Bahua or the later development of mobile comic apps, these aspects have attracted many people who have not bought comic magazines before, and they can be regarded as opening up new markets for the comic industry.

Even their magazine wanted to emulate the webtoon model of Blue Star Entertainment and set up a webtoon department, but this seemed to have been vetoed by the association's upper echelons.

Frankly speaking, for a planet with tens of billions of people, the previous federal comic market has not yet tapped one-tenth of Daya's potential audience.

Just like the earth, countless comic fans only entered the house through a certain animation, rather than a cultural product such as comics.

Originally, today's regular meeting of Mandao Club discussed that the cartoonists of their magazines organized a round of signing events, taking advantage of the recent influence of animation, and their popularity is high, so that their magazines will consolidate their position in the manga fan circle.

There is also the question of whether it is necessary to open a new publication, because the current two comic magazines of Mandao Club are mainly for female comic fans, and the audience is really narrow, so the upper class intends to publish a new magazine to open up the juvenile comic market.

But I just came to the company this morning, and I received the news that Station P actually engaged in the gimmick of animation, and it seems that it wants to challenge the cooperation of the association.

The editor-in-chief of another magazine department of the club couldn't help complaining, "It's really a ghostly company, and it actually wants to get involved in the animation market, and you still want to rely on the online platform to replicate the previous success, this time there is no previous luck, and animation is not dominated by online platforms." ”

In the small conference room of Mandao Club, the senior management of several magazine departments frowned and looked at the projection screen in front of them, and in the holographic virtual screen, the new page of Station P was so fresh.

P station seems to have become a point that the comic association is very concerned about,Just now they all looked at the section of the website.,It seems to be a big picture.,It's not just an animated video network.,It's more like a comprehensive video site for comic fans.。

Several animation PVs adapted from comics,Different from the previous animation company publicity style,Just release the main characters and CV list of the animation,There are also singers who sing the theme song to help promote at the event。

The animation PV of station P uses the high dynasty and suspense in the story as the focus of publicity, and creates an atmosphere with various words on the screen, which is very attractive to look forward to the next official content.

What makes people care is that in just a few minutes, PV's BGM sound effects are very good, which is different from what animation companies have always dealt with in the past, focusing more on the picture and pursuing the most extreme animation performance.

"Actually use the online platform to broadcast animation, this company is planning to go all the way to the black on the online platform, don't they know that the ratings of the TV platform are the main source of income for animation!"

Most of the people present had an attitude of not seeing it.,And this time the animation of the P station doesn't have a cooperative TV station.,Basically, it can't constitute direct competition.,Let many people breathe a sigh of relief.,After all, the popularity of Madoka and other three works is well known.,It's bound to be very popular after animation.。

"Eh, but I haven't heard anyone say that any animation company has worked with them?"

The deputy editor-in-chief of the Energetic Girl Weekly expressed his opinion.,It's true that there shouldn't be an animation company at the moment that will be idle to pick up the business of the P station.。

The editor-in-chief is a woman younger than everyone here, she looks like she is in her thirties, her skin is well maintained, she is fashionably dressed, her long wavy hair is dyed with a layer of light purple, if she is not sitting in the main seat, it is estimated that no one would think that such a beautiful and fashionable working woman will be the highest power person here.

Her lips opened lightly, and her voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler, "In fact, you don't need to find any animation company to cooperate with to make animation, you should know that the star group behind Bluestar Entertainment is not difficult to form an animation team." The reason why our comic association cooperates with the animation association is also an inevitable step in development, and the entertainment bureau is more willing to see the cooperation between our two sides, rather than our comic company developing its own animation business. ”

What she said made several editors-in-chief nod frequently, as she said, the two industries will cooperate more closely in the future, and it is not surprising that the two associations will even merge into the Animation Association.

After five years of the development of the entertainment economy in the Federation, the shadow of the entertainment glory of the old era has gradually recovered, and all kinds of entertainment industries will eventually be slowly formalized and handed over to the Federal Entertainment Administration to coordinate and manage, rather than leaving the industry to take care of itself, which is unrealistic.

Asuka Yuuki, editor-in-chief of Vitality Girl Weekly, agreed: "Yes, in fact, the cooperation between our manga industry and the animation industry has been slow for a long time, whether it is the film industry or the music industry, in fact, a circle has been formed at the beginning, forming an entertainment industry and leaving us in the entertainment industry.

However, what I'm more concerned about is the dubbing of animation, they can make their own animation, but dubbing is hard to find. ”

The editor-in-chief nodded and chuckled: "I also just learned from a friend that Bluestar Entertainment had approached their dubbing company before, but it didn't seem to have been negotiated, so I found a dubbing company in the first district and used the voice actors in the first district to dub it." ”

"Poof~"

Many people can't help but laugh when they hear that they use the voice actors in the first district, is there a voice actor in the first district?

Because the voice actors haven't been dubbed in the PV, there is only a separate BGM, so that these people have not been able to know the level of dubbing of several animations at Station P.

"It's probably because the dubbing is so bad.,That's why I didn't add voice actors when I promoted the anime.,Even the CV list is reluctant to be released.,Probably because there's no well-known voice actors.。 ”

After pulling off Blue Star Entertainment, the content of the meeting still returned to the original topic.

"The manga artist who will be in charge of attending the signing event next week, I suggest that two authors who have already announced the adaptation of the anime appear, and the image of Rakukawa-sensei is also a publicity highlight, and ...... such as a Bishoujo manga artist" As the deputy editor-in-chief, Mie Fukuhara, the manga she is in charge of is none other than Rokka Machiko, so for this club's signing event, she proposed that the young manga artist attend.

At this time, the editor-in-chief's mobile phone received a message, the screen lit up for a few seconds, she just glanced at it casually, and then looked away, and then as if she saw something very concerning, she suddenly came back to her senses, picked up the phone and expanded the message.

"Wait, the topic is suspended!

The editor-in-chief of Mandao Club had a serious expression on her face, and she bent her fingers and knocked on the table twice, and the solid wood conference table made two heavy "flowers".

Everyone in the conference room fell silent and turned their heads to look at this mature woman who was only thirty years old, she was not only the editor-in-chief of the Energetic Girl Weekly, but also one of the vice presidents of the company, and a member of the family who actually controlled the Mandao Club.

"There has just been news that a comic under the Vitality Girl Weekly has been pointed out on the Internet as suspected of plagiarism. ”

Plagiarize?

Everyone was at a loss, plagiarism is a very serious problem for the entertainment industry of the entire federation, and for a while, the conference room was quiet, and they all set their eyes on the two editors-in-chief of the Energetic Girl Weekly.

As the deputy editor-in-chief of the Vitality Girl Weekly, Mie Fukuhara looked solemn, she was the person who hated plagiarism the most, but she was shocked that there was such a bad act as plagiarism in the magazine she was in charge of.
