Chapter 204 [The Young Man I Met in Shioru!]
Tokyo. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info Shimbashi area.
It is known as the "Paradise of Salarymen in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area".
If nothing else, because it is home to a large number of well-known companies in the industry, from advertising to communications, from media to film and television, it is another CBD highland after Otemachi.
In addition, the restaurants and nightclubs and bars here are also famous in the city, and every night when the lights are on, the lights are bright and green, and drunken salarymen tie their necks to their heads, and they pace from the first banquet to any tavern on the side of the road to continue the second and third banquets...... A prosperous scene of singing and dancing.
The famous "Neon TV" is located next to the "Shiodome" tram stop in the working-income paradise here, which stands out from the crowd of office buildings.
Indeed, compared to the gorgeous Odaiba area of "Mt. Fuji TV" and the unconventional TV station building, this side is deep in the urban steel jungle, not to mention the down-to-earth atmosphere, and the TV station building has a rigorous aesthetic of urban architecture in the near future.
On the terrace on the third floor of the main building of Neon TV, a large group of people eating melons were gathered. They are looking at a middle-aged weather forecaster leading a yellow dinosaur cartoon character with a red "sausage mouth" - it is the cartoon star "Kujiro" of the weather forecast on the TV station, which is quite popular with children.
Behind the forecaster and Kujiro are rows of children and their parents. Some of them wore Kujiro's coat, some wore Kujiro's hat, and some held Kujiro's dolls, constantly waving at the camera pointed at them.
"Okay, let's show the live footage to the children and their parents. Everyone seems to be very motivated!" The forecaster and Kujiro guide the camera camera to sweep the family behind them in turn, full of "V" gestures and happy smiles.
In the camera, a little boy who was only about two or three years old had never seen such a scene, and he was so frightened that he cried "wow".
The crowd erupted in good-natured laughter, and the onlookers in the crowd, such as Shuhiko Torishima, Aoyama Minomasa, and Linda, were also amused by the scene.
"Come on, kids. Come on, give Kujiro a high-five...... Well, you're very brave! Okay, let's forecast for tomorrow's weather in the Metropolitan Area, and the rain clouds will slowly skim over the entire city from western Tokyo in the morning......
Torishima looked at his watch, pulled the other two people out of the crowd of melon eaters, and walked towards the elevator in the office area.
The time when the animation department of the TV station made an appointment with them was about a quarter of an hour after the weather forecast program was broadcast on location.
Neon TV's animation department was the first agency to send an intention to "AKBS Studios" to cooperate with the animated version of "Detective Kenan".
After Lin Da also greeted Shuhiko Torishima, the editor of Juxiansha, the other party also expressed great interest in the cooperation.
Therefore, the two of them, together with the manga author Minomasa Aoyama, accepted each other's invitation to the office of the animation department of the TV station headquarters for further discussions on business cooperation.
To be honest, the success of "Detective Kenan" today is also beyond the expectations of the editors of Torishima.
On the performance whiteboard of the shonen comics editorial department of the publishing house, only the bar chart of "Detective Kenan" can no longer follow the usual scale - because the numbers are so amazing, it directly throws out the second place and is oversized!
This is a kind of existence against the sky in the recent downturn in the comic journal market!
At this point in popularity, it is long overdue to discuss further expanding the popularity of the work and launching more media products.
Fortunately, the binding promotion of "AKBS Idol Theater" and manga works won with one hit, and in addition to the recent "24-hour TV" program of Mt. Fuji TV, Idol Theater took the limelight, and "Detective Konan" also took advantage of the east wind to soar many fans.
The animated olive branch of the comic keeps throwing it over, and it's time to think about this progression line!
Neon TV has also had several independent animation works of TV stations before, and the effect seems to be pretty good. Like the cartoon image of a small weather forecast mascot in the TV station just seen, a series of derivative products such as clothing, stationery, dolls, and daily necessities have been developed, which shows that the TV station still has a lot of experience in related fields.
Bird Island, Aoyama and Linda have also reached a consensus on this point.
The focus of today's discussion is on the production level of animation, and the other is on the details of profit distribution.
The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor, and after the door slowly opened, a young man dressed neatly wearing plate glasses seemed to be a little distracted, and after the three people got off the elevator, he walked into the elevator in a daze, and then hurriedly retreated after finding that the elevator would continue to run upward.
Linda also glanced at him, feeling a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Well, it's really like the person in the previous world, but I don't know if it's his own deity.
I can't say I'm going to give him a try.
"Well, excuse me, where do you go to the Neon TV animation production department?" Lynda also asked softly the young man who was a little annoyed.
"What are you talking about? Oh, the animation department. Go straight on the right-hand side, turn left and turn to the second door when you see the toilet. "The young man is very clear-cut, and he tells the specific direction of the destination like a few treasures.
"Ah, thank you. Are you an employee here?" asked Linda as well.
"What? No, I'm not. I was just...... I'm just ......" The young man's face began to turn embarrassed, and he began to speak.
"Are you a partner here?" asked Linda in a vague manner.
"Well, let's just say that. Merely...... Hi, I can't say a word or two. The young man rubbed his hands, and his face began to turn red.
Linda also guessed nine times out of ten in his heart, he continued to laugh.
"Would you like to take the elevator down and leave? Let's talk about it carefully, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation. ”
"What do you mean, cooperation?" suddenly flashed in the young man's eyes, revealing an excitement that was not easily noticeable as if he had seen a shining lighthouse on the dark sea.
"Uh, I, I'm fine. What I have is time. ”
"Then, in the café on the second floor of the TV station, please wait for us first. This is my business card. Linda also pulled out a business card from the studio and handed it to him.
"Ah, thank you! That's, it's mine!" the young man also took out a business card of his own, and respectfully handed it to Lin Daya's hand with both hands......
After the three of them came to the reception room of the animation department's production office and sat down, Aoyama couldn't help but ask Lin Daya while waiting, "Who is the person I met at the elevator just now?"
Linda only laughed and said nothing, thinking to himself that he had guessed nothing wrong.
That person, although it seems that he is still a heretic or a little-known practitioner, will definitely become a trendsetter in the neon animation industry in the future.
That's right, the business card that the person handed to Lin Daya just now clearly has his name clearly written on it, the independent animation producer who became popular in the previous world - "Xinhai City"!
Now, you're probably going to have something wrong with the animation production department of Neon TV, right?
