Chapter 40: The Blizzard and Colombia (3)

"We will not accept any copyright claims against EVA. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" When Yasuhiro Takeda was silent, Hideaki Anno said categorically.

Miyahara Shizune glanced at Hideaki Anno, in fact, it is a very hard job to be an animation supervisor in Japan, unless he can mix to the point of the old man Miya, an international friend of communism, but Comrade Hideaki Anno obviously pioneered and very resolutely embarked on a road that is different from ordinary supervision and belongs to him to make a fortune.

Even if it uses very advanced exploitation methods, it has been brutally exploited by fans of a certain work for more than 20 years.

What's even more amazing is that these fans are still willing to exploit Hideaki Anno.

Even Miyahara Shizune, who is a traverser, had to give him a thumbs up and praise Anno Shinai as a god.

In short, from the attitudes of Hideaki Anno and Yasuhiro Takeda, Miyahara Shizune has learned that G Company is resolute in controlling EVA copyrights.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, please listen to our plan first, but, before that, is it convenient to reveal how much money EVA is missing?" Miyahara asked.

Hideaki Anno looked at Yasuhiro Takeda, and after seeing that the latter nodded, he said to Miyahara Shizune: "EVA plans to invest 800 million yen, and we have only raised 350 million so far. ”

Anno's face was a little embarrassed when he said this number, they were able to invest more than one billion yuan in the 80s, but they didn't expect that they would not be able to raise 800 million yen now.

However, he must also inform Miyahara of this number, because if Miyahara wants to invest in Eva, he must first know how much money they have left.

Only 350 million were raised, which is nearly 60 percent...... Miyahara nodded silently in his heart, this number is very good, it is a very favorable number for him, if Eva's funds are not much, he will not be able to get the copyright.

"Would you two like to hear our plan?"

"Of course." Anno Hideaki said with certainty, otherwise why did they come to the Hibiscus Society?

"We currently have two plans for the investment in the wood EVA project, and which one to choose depends on the choice of the two." Miyahara said.

"First, Hibiscus only invested 50 million yen, neither seeking copyrights nor peripheral products, in short, we accepted the same conditions as other investors, but if we took this plan under the premise that we were very optimistic about EVA, it basically meant that we gave up the project, and this investment was only out of my own personal wishes, and I didn't want the two of us to go for nothing."

"And the second?" Hideaki Anno frowned and asked, just 50 million is far from enough for EVA poor funds.

Yasuhiro Takeda had been frowning and listening to what Miyahara had to say, and he had a hunch that the second option might really make GAINAX accept the conditions for splitting the copyright.

Miyahara Shizune glanced at Yasuhiro Takeda and paused for a moment before continuing: "The second plan is a little more complicated, this plan, our Hibiscus Society can make up the 450 million yen required for all EVAs. ”

"What about the conditions?" Takeda Yasuhiro asked, 50 million and 450 million, the gap is too big, and it is impossible for the Hibiscus Society to have no conditions.

Sure enough, Miyahara Jing said her request very smoothly, "The condition is that we can exchange the profits from the sale of the animation in exchange for the copyright of EVA." ”

"Can you elaborate on that?" Although Hideaki Anno still disagrees with the division of EVA's copyright to Hibiscus Society, Miyahara's statement aroused his interest a little.

"It's very simple, originally we invested 450 million yen, and naturally we would have taken nearly 60% of the animation revenue share, but now we only ask for 30% of this revenue, but the other 30% we ask for the copyright to be replaced by EVA, this ratio is negotiable, but the copyright requirement is necessary."

After Miyahara Shizune finished talking about the second option, there was no sound in this office for a while, and Hideaki Anno and Yasuhiro Takeda were obviously thinking about the pros and cons of this second option.

If EVA is a big hit after the TV animation is broadcast, and the sales of the TV animation sell well, then G will pay part of the copyright, but correspondingly, they will be compensated for nearly 30% of the income from the TV animation.

And if EVA is not as popular as imagined, then the biggest loss is also from the Hibiscus Society. And after they accept the funds of the Hibiscus Society, they no longer have to run around for investment, you must know that they plan to broadcast EVA in October next year, and now they have a little more than a year left in their production cycle, so it can be said that the time is very urgent, in this case, the overall preparation of the project must start as soon as possible, rather than letting the overseer run outside for money.

However, no matter what they think about this second plan, it is very beneficial to G Society itself, but why did Miyahara Shizune propose such a plan, just for the 30% copyright that EVA cannot see and touch at the moment, and the value is not determined at all?

I didn't expect a small publishing house like Hibiscus to be so generous, and they had to make up for all the funding gaps of EVA when they opened their mouths, and their plan was actually to spend 200 million yen to buy 30% of EVA's copyright.

At this time, the two of them began to wonder if the Hibiscus Society could get 450 million yen.

After being silent for a long time, Yasuhiro Takeda finally spoke: "President Miyahara would rather give up part of the income to obtain the copyright of EVA, it seems that you are more optimistic about the long-term benefits of EVA copyright than the income of TV animation?" That's more confidence in this project than we staff. ”

What the two don't know is that the sale of the TV version of EVA may be able to bring nearly 10 billion yen, which is scary in terms of the proportion of investment income, but compared to the overall income brought by EV rights in the future, there are 3 billion US dollars, and with 3 billion yen for nearly 1 billion US dollars, Miyahara Shizun has made a lot of money.

Without copyright, Hibiscus Society and EVA only have a hammer deal, and with copyright, it is a trickle.

No, it might be more appropriate to say that it is a long flood.

"Mr. Takeda is wrong, I am definitely optimistic about EVA's TV sales revenue, but at the same time, I am more optimistic about its subsequent impact." Miyahara said confidently.

This kind of completely original animation,Even as the supervisor of Hideaki Anno、As the original gainax's confidence is not as sufficient as Miyahara Shizu's investor,Anno Hideaki is confident that this animation will be made into a masterpiece.,But the boutique doesn't mean it's popular in the market.,What the market reaction will be after EVA broadcast,He can't predict it.。

You must know that Wang Li's Space Army is an eternal pain for gainax.
