Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Human Circle Money Plan (2)

From a practical point of view, Yoshishi Kubo's idea is correct and normal, and his desire to invest the few funds of Hibiscus Society in an animation project that is destined to lose money is indeed an act that should be seen as a brain pump. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But Eva is truly a miracle in the world of television animation.

"Editor-in-Chief Kubo, have you read this project carefully? Do you know the synopsis of this EVA? Have you seen their characters? After reading it, you will feel like me that this is an excellent work that can be profitable. Miyahara Shizune could only persuade him that he could never say that EVA was one of the most successful TV anime of all time in our world, and even one of them could be removed.

Yoshishi Kubo feels that his brain is not good, and you Miyahara Shizun watched this project from beginning to end for less than ten minutes, and judged that it was an animation that could be profitable? Who is this fooling?

He thinks that this Miyahara Jing is unreasonable, and he wants to invest in this project just because he likes it? This is completely different from the wisdom and maturity that Shizune Miyahara has shown since she became the acting president.

Yoshishi Kubo took a deep breath, and then patiently persuaded him:

"Maybe this EVA is an excellent work, but excellent and profitable are two different things, I know the two producers on this project, needless to say, the son of the dragon, even gainax I also know very well, a few years ago their Wang Li Universe Army was also very good, but that excellent work did not make any profit, but made them go into debt until now."

The Dragon's Son Studio is naturally famous, and it is not unusual for Yoshishi Kubo to know about it, but he didn't expect that he also knew about GAINAX, and even knew about Wang Li's Space Army.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, it's true that being good doesn't mean selling well, but don't you think the current animation market has been suppressed for too long? This suppression is not based on the development factors of the animation market itself,But from the pressure of public opinion,The animation market itself should be very large and expanding,At present, everyone may not realize the potential of the animation market,But the same,How many people think that the animation market is really over? Everyone is waiting for a work that can re-ignite the animation market and send animation back to its golden age. Miyahara said.

"So Jingjun thinks this EVA is such a work? Even if what you say is true, the potential of the animation market is still there, but how can you be sure that EVA is such a work? There have been many works that have broken through the seal of public opinion before, but they have all failed without exception...... In my opinion, the result of this EVA is nothing more than that. ā€

"From a creator's point of view, I can 100% believe that EVA is an excellent work, and combined with the analysis of the market and the current situation, I think it has at least 80% chance of success." Miyahara wanted to say that he was 200% sure that Eva would succeed, but no one would believe it until it happened.

In fact, even if he says that there is an 80% chance of EVA Yoshishi Kubo will not believe that Miyahara Shizune is only seventeen years old, where does he get his animation market judgment?

Of course, Yoshishi Kubo would not have known that Miyahara's judgment came from the results and facts that had already been seen.

Whether it is the symbolic role of EVA itself's success or the risk-sharing production committee system it created, it has indeed re-ignited the RB animation market, and after the success of EVA, the number of RB animation production departments per year has quickly exceeded triple digits from less than 30 films.

What makes EVA so successful? From the perspective of the external environment, this is the catharsis, rebound and explosion of the animation market after being suppressed by deformities for a long time. And the quality of this work itself is excellent, in addition to the two charismatic anime characters Rei Ayanami and Asuka.

But these are all things that Yoshishi Kubo can't know, and Miyahara has no way to explain them.

Therefore, it is difficult for Miyahara to convince Yoshishi Kubo, whose perception and judgment of the current animation market are deep-rooted.

"I still insist on my opinion that the limited funds of the Hibiscus Society should not be invested in risky projects such as television animation, and the situation of the Hibiscus Society has just stabilized, and I don't want any more accidents." Yoshishi Kubo said stubbornly.

Shizu Miyahara can understand Yoshishi Kubo's thoughts, Hibiscus Society is indeed not suitable for renew twists and turns now, but he doesn't want Eva to slip away in front of his eyes.

"I'm sticking to my own ideas, and it seems like we're going to have a hard time convincing each other...... We don't discuss Eva's affairs, we leave it to me to be responsible, and if the investment fails, I will also be responsible......"

Yoshishi Kubo still had something to say, and Miyahara Jing hurriedly said first:

"In the event of a disagreement between the vice president and the acting president, my opinion shall prevail."

Since Yoshishi Kubo can't be persuaded, then he will give in by order, Hibiscus Society is an asset of the Miyahara family, and the position of acting president is above the vice president, if Yoshishi Kubo doesn't want to resign, then he can only obey his orders.

So Yoshishi Kubo can only be silent.

However, it was a bit inappropriate to ignore the vice president's opinion in this way, so Miyahara Jing changed his words and continued: "There is no point in discussing it here now, maybe the people of GAINAX will not agree to our investment request after listening to our conditions." ā€

"Requirements? What are the requirements? ā€

"I want to get some of the rights to this EVA, and GAINAX won't necessarily agree."

"They'll agree." Yoshishi Kubo sighed and said, the little hope that had just risen was extinguished again, he was not clear about GAINAX's dedication to copyright, but simply thought that if Hibiscus Club held the funds in one hand and demanded the copyright in the other, there would be no reason for GANAX to refuse if it was difficult to raise funds.

He didn't want to worry about Eva anymore with Miyahara Jing, but the responsibility of the vice president still made him say a few more words:

"Shizu-kun, with the current financial situation of the Hibiscus Society, we can't afford to invest in this kind of 26-episode semi-annual animation, and I will truthfully report this matter to President Miyahara."

The last time he saw Yuichi Miyahara, he reported to him about the all-round salary increase made by Miyahara Shizune, and Miyahara Yuichi felt that in that situation at that time, the decision to raise the salary was very correct, but I believe that this time Miyahara Yuichi should not make the same judgment.
