Chapter Seventy-Seven: This Rotten Crunch Is Made of Infinity (4)
Midorikawa sat back in her place and began to work on the next page of the manuscript, and Miyahara had just picked up her pen when the door to the studio was opened from the outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Miyahara looked up, and someone sweating profusely walked in like a husky dog that had been exposed to the sun for six hours.
"Everyone's there?"
The person who came was Daisuke Akizuki, the editor of the group of people in the room, and he asked while wiping the sweat from his head with a tissue.
After entering the studio, he quickly closed the door, and then immediately took off the blazer he was wearing, looking at him like that, you can imagine the temperature outside this time.
Miyahara decided that even if he was killed, he wouldn't go outside.
Although Daisuke Akizuki's presence on the side of "Sento Isuzu" has been greatly enhanced because of the change in the method of production due to the unheard name of the flower, his role is still about equal to none on the side of Hyakme Onijing.
"Editor Akizuki, what have you been busy with in the editorial department lately, I haven't seen the editor-in-chief of Kubo for a few days."
After Akizuki Daisuke came in, Miyahara Jing asked immediately without giving him a chance to cool down.
"Although it is said that cartoonists are very homely, but if it is summer, I want to be a cartoonist, at least there is an air conditioner blowing all day long." Daisuke Akizuki first complained, and then answered Miyahara Shizuki's question, "Our editorial department is busy with Ai Yazawa's affairs. ”
"Ai Yazawa-sensei? Did something go wrong? Miyahara Jing's heart pinched, and although Koyama Takama caused the Hibiscus Society to suffer huge damage, but for Koyama personally, to be honest, Miyahara Jing felt that it didn't matter if he left, but if something happened to Yazawa Okami, he would cry.
"No, no, there is no problem with Mr. Yazawa, it's a matter of Heaven's Kiss, and we are going to release the second volume of Heaven's Kiss next month."
When I heard that it was just a single book, Miyahara Jing suddenly put her mind at ease, saying that this editor was panting for breath when he spoke, can't he express the meaning clearly at one time?
"Is Heaven's Kiss just going to release the second volume? So slow? "Shizune Miyahara remembers that Kiss of Heaven has been serialized for some time, and it stands to reason that the second volume of the monograph should have been released long ago.
"Yes, it was supposed to be released in June, but after that happened, we didn't care about the single book, so naturally it was postponed until now."
Well, because of the process affected by that, Miyahara decided not to say anything about it.
"How many first volumes of Heaven's Kiss were sold?"
"Doesn't Jingjun know? We reprinted the first volume of Heaven's Kiss three times, and the final sales were 450,000 copies, in fact, this sales can still go up, and the last reprint we obviously estimated too low, but then considering that the sales space is not large, we did not reprint. Daisuke Akizuki said.
"Did you get 450,000 for the first volume alone?" This Miyahara Jing was surprised, he really didn't pay attention to this matter before, because of the lack of popularity accumulation, it is difficult for the first volume of the manga to get too high sales, especially works serialized in magazines like Seemare, but the sales of Heaven's Kiss can be 450,000, which can be said to be a miracle.
This is much stronger than the two or three things of the girls' high school that only got this sales after four volumes were released.
"So this time your editorial department means how much does the first print cost?"
"We mean that we can print 300,000 copies, but the editor-in-chief of Kubo said that he would wait for the results of the negotiations to come out before releasing the second volume."
"Negotiations? Who do we negotiate with? "Miyahara Shizuichi is inexplicable, who did the Hibiscus Society negotiate with? He didn't know at all.
"With the East Hawker, hasn't the editor-in-chief of Kubo explained it to Shizu-kun yet? Due to sales factors, our sales range has been limited to the Tokyo metropolitan area, or the Kanto region to a larger extent, but now our sales are not starting to rise, so the editor-in-chief of Kubo is talking to the Tosho side and wants to directly expand our sales range nationwide. ”
"Has the editor-in-chief of Kubo been busy with this lately?"
Miyahara didn't expect Yoshishi Kubo to be so active, and as soon as Killire's sales rose, he was ready to expand the scope of sales.
"This will cause our cost of selling a single book to rise."
"The editor-in-chief of Kubo said that this will be the case in the short term, and the sales commission may be increased, but once Sealir's sales can go up to 250,000, the ratio will be adjusted back to the original ratio, and the cost of a single volume will be restored to the original level, but now the editor-in-chief of Kubo is talking to the other side, hoping that the upper limit will be reduced to 200,000 copies."
Miyahara Jing thought about it and nodded, this matter is not very difficult, the higher the sales of Simariel, the greater the profit as a dealer who controls the sales channel, and it is a big deal that the Hibiscus Society accepts the figure of 250,000 copies.
It's just that even if it can be distributed to the whole country, the sales of Simiel will not increase much in the short term, after all, comic readers in other regions do not have the habit of buying Sealiel, and it will take a time to develop such a buying habit.
After Miyahara Jing weighed it and thought that the advantages of this matter outweighed the disadvantages, he felt that Kubo Yoshishi's approach was correct, after all, sooner or later such negotiations would have to be carried out, and Simiel could not be limited to Kanto.
"What is Jingjun busy with again?" Daisuke Akizuki noticed that Shizune Miyahara was not drawing the original manuscript at this time, so he asked with some curiosity.
Miyahara Shizune handed the notebook in hand to Daisuke Akizuki.
It is not accurate to say that the notebook is printed with a vertical grid for writing a novel on a special manuscript paper.
"What is this?" Daisuke Akizuki became more and more curious.
"Animation Script."
"Are we going to animate?" Daisuke Akizuki took the paper, then looked down.
"No, I'm actually going to do two 4-minute promotional PV for the manga, but in order not to misunderstand readers that there will be an animation of the work soon, I plan to release it in the name of the character song at this year's Winter CM." Miyahara explained that he really wanted to do animation, but even if he got a loan, Hibiscus still had limited funds.
Akizuki is an editor anyway, so he can see if the script is right, and if Miyahara Jing is asked to write a complete animation story script from beginning to end, he will definitely not be able to do it for a while.
But the part of the script he wrote now is just a scene in Fate, and he doesn't feel that it is too difficult.
In terms of the superiority of different media communication methods, video is higher than pictures, and pictures are higher than words. In the case of anime, the influence and dissemination ability of animation is ten times that of comics, and comics are ten times that of light novels, so many light novels are not actually sold as text stories, but as illustrations, in the field of light novels, in a sense, illustrators are more important than novelists.
And in later generations, there are many light animations with ten episodes down, which is actually a promotional film made by the publishing house for the work.
Hibiscus can't anime, but it can make promotional PV for manga, and if it is screened and sold at the Winter CM, Miyahara thinks it will have an unexpected effect.
It's just a small problem with this, if you can draw a manga with the same style as twenty years later, it's not too difficult, at least Miyahara Jing can easily do it.
But if you want to make the kind of animation that will be 20 years from now, it's impossible, because there is an element of technological progress in it, and the technology that is not there now is not there. After all, even the ink produced by alien technology cannot make a fundamental change in the comic picture, but animation is different, the factor of technological progress exists, and it has advanced by leaps and bounds along with computer technology in the past ten years.
Of course,It's not necessarily a bad thing to do animation in this period.,At least the original artist of the cow broke a lot of it.。
In order to be able to make the work to achieve the effect he wants, Miyahara Jing at least felt that the script should be done by himself, except for those factors that he could not control.
And he has always believed in a wise saying, which is called "I have a lot of money." ”
With sufficient funds and sufficient production time, finding a reliable animation production company should be able to get the work that Miyahara Jing wants.
So in this eight-minute propaganda PV, he is ready to throw 40 million yen into it...... At this time of year, 40 million is enough to make two high-quality 24-minute animations, and if it's a daily episode, he can even do four episodes, and he only does 8 minutes, and I don't believe the quality will come up.
Isn't that how loans are used?
He doesn't want to recoup the cost of selling on the winter CM at all, in fact, he can't recover the cost at all, what he wants is influence, and he wants to be able to buy Celelia after watching the PV, and the otaku can turn around and buy Celeliar, which is a great success.
It's just that he didn't expect Daisuke Akizuki to frown more and more when he looked at it, and after reading two pages, he put the stack of manuscript paper back on the table.
"What's wrong? Any questions? Miyahara Shizun also felt that Daisuke Akizuki's appearance was not normal.
"Jingjun...... You don't have any plans to write a novel in the future, do you? ”
"Well, I really have, I think as long as I play well, the Naoki Award is no problem for me." Miyahara Jing said confidently, who made us a traverser.
"It's fun, huh? Jingjun, although I don't know how the standard animation script is written, it's definitely not your way of writing, and your writing ability is ...... In short, you should write the story composition and outline honestly in the future, and things like scripted novels are not for you. "Daisuke Akizuki really wants to ask if Shizu Miyahara has passed her Japanese grades?
Let's put it this way, Miyahara Shizune wrote this thing in the way of Chinese, written in Japanese grammar conventions, and composed of manga stories to create text plots.
To put it simply, this thing can't stand normal people pinching their noses and wearing a gas mask, and Miyahara Shizu's Japanese writing ability is 87 times worse than that of a certain otaku writer who starts with the U character.
By the way, Shizune Miyahara's worst subject in school was modern Japanese, and Akizuki edited it right.
While crossing has deepened some of his memories, it has also made it more difficult for him to change his Chinese language habits, which have been deeply rooted in his blood for decades, which has caused him to have no problems listening and reading Japanese, but the only remaining writing is simply scum, or thank God, there is no problem with his listening, speaking, reading and speaking ability.
It may be okay to write something short, but write a full-length story...... Huh, right?
Maybe he should write the script in Chinese? If people can understand it.
