Chapter 94: OHS Animation (Part II)
"Sister Saya, I have a word to say before I enter OHS. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
At this time, Shizumasa Miyahara and Saya Oen were standing outside the door of a two-story building with a pure white exterior wall, and just as Saya was walking inside, he suddenly said this.
And outside the door hangs a nameplate of the company, on which are written the words "OHS Animation Workshop".
It was originally a closed hospital, but after OHS switched from an advertising company to an animation company, they needed a larger office space, and they rented it as a temporary office space because of the good price.
Regardless of whether the funds are abundant or not, when an enterprise enters a new industry, no matter how good it can be saved, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain, it is also the case that OHS does not do well in budget control.
Saya stopped and motioned for Miyahara to continue.
"My words are actually very simple, today is different from yesterday, yesterday we were talking between young people, joking, chatting, there are no taboos, but today is different, in what capacity does Sister Saya think I came here today?"
"Creators? Caricaturist? President? ”
Miyahara Shizune shook her head, "You're right or wrong, I'm a manga artist and the president of the Hibiscus Society, but the essence of what I said is that we are all businessmen, so ......"
"I understand, in business." Saya reacted immediately, and she didn't need Miyahara to say that she understood that she couldn't mess around like she did yesterday.
This is also the reason why Natsuki did not come with the two of them.
Well, be serious today.
Miyahara nodded, Saya understood, as a traverser who lives with an uncle in his heart, he won't worry too much about young people, and it's not that he can't afford to joke, but the score is on something.
Follow Saya into OHS, different from the outside, the inside is not badly furnished, in the professional terms of their publishing industry and animation industry, this is called Tunzi is not big, there are mountains and forests.
From an advertising agency to an animation company, Miyahara can imagine that many things have happened in this tunzi.
Next, Miyahara Jing is going to get to know the people in their tun.
"At present, OHS Animation has more than 50 employees......"
According to Miyahara Shizu's previous request, Saya didn't rush to take him to meet any important people, but first visited this animation club.
He wanted to know what the animation company was like.
You have to let Miyahara Jing take a quick look around and evaluate the production ability of OHS, which is obviously impossible, but he has also seen it once in G Company before, and you can find that although the scale of OHS is not large, but the departments are set up in a very standardized and comprehensive manner, at least it can make people understand that this company is indeed professional in animation.
Maybe it's due to the fact that there was a certain amount of money accumulated when I was an advertising company before, and because of the downturn in the animation market, OHS should have recruited a lot of talent, and from the three-minute battle of Okura Island, you can judge what the general level of their original artists is.
In addition, Miyahara also found that the production department of OHS has begun to try to replace some hand-drawn content with computer technology, which is probably at the forefront of its peers.
In fact, the more like this kind of animation company that is halfway home, in fact, the stronger the ability to accept new technologies, they will not be biased against technology because of the importance of hand painting, on the contrary, the more traditional the company, the more stubborn it is to adhere to certain places, and the less interested and insensitive it is to new technologies.
After this lap, Miyahara Jing can be regarded as seeing a little bit of why, combined with the Okurajima they did before, he is generally satisfied with the overall strength level of OHS, it can meet his own requirements.
So it's time to meet the key people.
"This is my father, the president of OHS, Daigo Ogen."
"This is a manga artist and the president of the manga publishing house Hibiscus, Shizu Miyahara."
In the office of the president of OHS, Saya gave a brief introduction to both parties.
However, this office looks more snuggled than Miyahara's office at Hibiscus Society, which is a matter of course, OHS has more employees than Hibiscus Society, and the office space is less than that of Hibiscus Society, so it can only be squeezed and healthier.
"President Miyahara, you're younger than I've heard from Saya, and you're really young and promising." Daigo Ogen stretched out his palm to Miyahara Jing very enthusiastically.
Miyahara Jing shook hands with him, Lori's father has a round face, looks very kind, and it is very contrary to the theory of evolution, his height is a head taller than Miyahara Jing.
"President Dayuan, just call me by my name, I'm friends with Sister Saya, and I'm your junior."
Miyahara Jing seems to be equally enthusiastic, but in fact he is a little polite, and he will never pretend to be a junior when it is time to talk about things.
After a little greeting, and then the two sides sat down, everyone is a businessman, usually very busy, there is something to talk about, so ...... So they started talking nonsense, and they didn't get to the point at all.
The two sides talked about Miyahara's high school studies to university studies, employment, the Japanese --- economic bubble, and the Japanese --- economic bubble to the progress of Internet technology...... In short, the topic is too wide to add.
Daigo Ogen probably saw such a nonsense high school student for the first time, he glanced at Miyahara Jing without a trace, before he believed that Miyahara Jing was a cartoonist, because where his works were placed, but he didn't really believe that the other party really controlled a publishing house, but now he believes it, so he can talk to himself as an uncle-level character, just talk to the point, and definitely have the president's flickering level.
As for Miyahara Shizune, does he like to chat with middle-aged uncles? Of course not, the problem now is that the other party has a request for him, so he should not be allowed to speak first.
"Ahem, Jingjun, you may have heard about our affairs, in fact, I invited you over today to talk to you about the animation adaptation rights of your work." After realizing that the nonsense would be endless, Daigo Ogen finally got back to business.
"......" Miyahara Jing glanced at Saya, this is not the same as the previous statement, Saya's meaning is to let him come up with a new work, and his father means that he is optimistic about the ready-made work?
But doubts are doubts, Miyahara Jing still followed his words, "Which work does President Dayuan want the animation copyright of?" It's not just my work, as long as it's Simiel's work, we can talk about it. ”
Yes, Seamaril has a lot of animation rights that can't be sold, so it's better to buy them at the price of cabbage than rot in the pot, but if OHS falls in love with a work like Heaven's Kiss, the price should be well discussed.
But people are not idiots, as far as some of Summeril's works are concerned, they are rhythms that cannot be sold in a lifetime.
"It's Jingjun's work, ohs needs a short work now, we are optimistic about your work of 'She and Her Cat', if its animation copyright is still in your hands, I hope to talk to Hibiscus Society, get the animation copyright of her and her cat, and plan to make about 20 minutes of animation copyright, you don't have to worry about the copyright fee, we can come up with 1.2 million yen."
Didn't expect OHS to take a fancy to her and her cat, and replace the battle of Okura Island with her and her cat? Are they more optimistic about her and her cat than the new story? Or do they feel that they will not be able to come up with better work in the short term?
Miyahara thought silently, in fact, when Daigo Ogen said the short story, he understood that the work he said was her and her cat, after all, he only had such a short story.
As for the bid of 1.2 million, it is definitely fair, and Miyahara Jing even feels that this price is a bit too high.
It can be seen that they are indeed a little anxious, and I really don't understand why they are so attached to this year's Media Arts Festival.
It's just a bit unreliable to expect her and her cat to win awards, right? Fundamentally, this is not a story that is suitable for winning awards, and if you animate this story, maybe OHS will go down the path of over-focusing on picture quality like the Battle of Okurajima.
"Let's not talk about this.,I'm a little curious.,OHS was originally an advertising company.,Why did President Dayuan change his career to animation? Or is it during such a sluggish period in the animation market? ”
It's not that she and her cat's animation copyright can't be given, but Miyahara Shizune didn't agree right away.
"It's very simple, first, I personally like animation, animation is my dream when I was a child, second, I'm optimistic about the recovery of the animation market, and I personally judge that the animation boom of the 80s will come back."
Miyahara Jing was slightly surprised, but then he felt that Dayuan Daigo's idea was quite reasonable, the first reason, he said that he likes animation, this factor may or may not be, but the second reason, optimistic about the animation market, and then switch to animation, this should be the most important, real factor.
In this world,There are always stupid people.,But there are also a lot of smart people.,There are more than one or two people who can make a correct judgment on the development situation of the animation industry.,Although the view of the animation industry is still the mainstream,But the mainstream view has nothing to do with whether it's the right view.。
Because you like or love to do a certain line of business, it is possible to succeed, it is possible, but the greater probability is that such a company can only be short-lived, and only the virtuous circle of pursuing interests and then obtaining benefits can make a company truly survive.
Don't say Daigo Ohon, even Shizu Miyahara is profit-seeking, what he wants to do is neither comics nor animation, but the animation industry, the industrial industry, and the meaning in it should be very clear.
If you want to ask him if he likes anime, if he likes it, then does he need anime to make money, it must be needed.
Regarding Daigo Daien's answer, Miyahara nodded to indicate that she understood.
"Before I talk about the adaptation rights of the animation, I would like to talk to President Dayuan about another business."
"Another business?" Daigo Ogen was a little curious, is there anything else going on here?
"Yes."
First, let's talk to OHS about commissioned PV production.
