Chapter 42: All Rejoice (I)
Before the first release day of Simari in July, about a week after the talks between Hibiscus and Gainax, news finally came from G that they had accepted Miyahara's second proposal. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although this was not expected by Miyahara Shizune, the dust settled on this matter with the best result, which was enough to make him feel very happy.
According to the agreement, Hibiscus will invest a total of 450 million yen to acquire 30% of EVA TV Animation's revenue, 30% of EVA's overall copyright, including peripheral revenue, and all EVA manga rights.
The funds will be paid to G in four installments, the first amount shall not be less than 100 million yen and must be received in July, and if the Hibiscus Society is unable to pay the follow-up funds, then the previous copyright agreement between the two parties will be invalidated, and the Hibiscus Society can only share in the revenue generated by the sale of EVA TV animation with the amount of capital contribution, if the amount is less than 30%, then the income ratio will be calculated according to the actual investment ratio, if it is higher than 30%, then the income ratio of the Supreme Hibiscus Society will only be 30%.
In other words, the latter agreement explains what to do if the Hibiscus Society is unable to pay the full amount of 450 million yen in the EVA TV animation project, for example, if the Hibiscus Society only comes up with 200 million yuan, then they can only share 25% of the TV animation revenue, and if the capital contribution of the Hibiscus Society is 400 million, then they can only share 30% of the revenue instead of 50%, and in both cases, the Hibiscus Society can no longer obtain the copyright of EVA.
In the final analysis, G did not have enough trust in the funding capacity of the small publishing house.
On the bright side, the agreement between the two sides is a loss for the Hibiscus Society, but after the signing of this agreement, the Hibiscus Society has obtained 30% of the overall copyright of EVA plus all the comic copyrights, which means that all the plans for EVA in the future G Club will not be able to bypass the Hibiscus Society, and everyone will earn money together, if G Club wants to leave the Hibiscus Club behind, then I'm sorry, you have to bring me to play, otherwise everyone won't have to play together.
Giving up 30% of the revenue from TV animation and obtaining 30% of the overall copyright of EVA, not to mention that G Company can't understand this approach, even Yoshishi Kubo doesn't know why Miyahara Shizune did it.
Only Miyahara herself knows the significance of this practice.
At a cost of only 450 million yen, a third of the cake with a total value of 3 billion US dollars, or 300 billion yen, was cut very accurately.
Although the three billion yuan is the overall income of EVA in the next 20 years, the profits of the Hibiscus Society are still considerable in each year.
After the G Society confirmed that it had accepted the conditions and funds of the Hibiscus Society, it quickly sent someone to the Hibiscus Society to sign a formal contract.
This time, there was still Yasuhiro Takeda who came to the Hibiscus Society, but it was not Hideaki Anno who was traveling with him, but Hiroyuki Yamaga, the president of the G Society.
Hiroyuki Yamaga became the president of G two years ago, and he is also the second president of G Society, and his position is typical of Japan's "Shimokagami".
It is impossible not to mention Dousio Okada, the first president of G Society.
Okada Dousio was one of the four elders of the Gsha at the time of its founding, and he served as the president from the founding of the Gsha until 1992, and he himself was widely known, and Gai was known as the "otaku leader" and "otaku master" because he first came up with the definition of otaku.
However, in 1992, due to a serious disagreement between Okada and Hiroyuki Yamaga and Hideaki Anno in terms of economy and direction of the company, the latter two secretly transferred all the rights of the company to the vice president Hiroyuki Yamaga without the knowledge of the president.
As a result, Okada Dousifu was swept out of the house by G without Bao knowing......
After the defeat of the king, Okada Dou Sifu was forced to leave the GADAX Co., Ltd. he founded single-handedly, and Hiroyuki Yamaga officially took over the position of president, which is the famous "Okada Dou Sifu Chase Incident".
After leaving the G Society, Okada Doushio, although he didn't have the previous glory, but with his identity as the founder and former president of the G Society, as well as the popularity of the "Otaku Master", he mixed well, and probably in October of this year, he will also start serving as a special lecturer in the Department of Liberal Arts at the University of Tokyo.
However, judging by Miyahara Shizune herself, the exile of Okada by G Society may be a very correct thing, not only because they made EVA, the pinnacle of TV animation, after "cleaning up the portal", but also because in the previous life around 2015, Okada's various scandals such as pedal 80 boats, lover lists, plagiarism, etc., made Miyahara Shizune clearly realize what kind of person this is.
Although the media and rumors cannot be trusted, there is all the evidence that the life style of the otaku king is indeed not very good.
And the series of scandals in later generations also made Okada's reputation plummet, and his evaluation of him also fell from the king of the otaku to a "power businessman" who used the otaku group for profit.
"Thank you President Miyahara for your support of the EVA project and for your trust in Gainax, I didn't expect you to be so bold at such a young age and dare to invest such a large amount of money in the TV animation market at a time when no one else has seen it."
The contract is drafted by the G company, but it needs to be reviewed by the legal consultant of the Hibiscus Society, which is not afraid that the G company will deliberately set any traps in the contract, but that there will be loopholes in it, after all, this kind of contract involving copyright transfer, it is better to be careful and beneficial to both parties, otherwise when EVA really proves its value, if there are any loopholes in the contract, then the two parties will inevitably have disputes for economic interests.
While the Hibiscus Society was reviewing the contract, Hiroyuki Yamaga and Miyahara chatted casually.
"It's nothing, we are very optimistic about the strength of GAINAX, we can't talk about support, everyone is mutually beneficial, and even said that it is our Hibiscus Club luck to be able to catch EVA...... We feel that the TV animation market has been suppressed for so long, and it is time for EVA to explode, and EVA is your company's masterpiece after four years of Sapphire Mystery, and I am confident that we can succeed. ”
"If we can achieve the results of Sapphire Mystery, we will be thankful."
Although Hiroyuki Yamaga and Yasuhiro Takeda think that this Miyahara Shizu's words are polite, but only Miyahara Shizune knows that he is telling the truth, although it is already a bit exaggerated to compare EVA and the sapphire mystery now, but after a year, they will know that EVA This new work and the sapphire mystery are not a dimensional work at all.
After nearly an hour of continuous nonsense between the two sides, the contract with more than 30 pages of thick answers was finally reviewed, and after the legal counsel of the Hibiscus Society indicated that there was no problem with the contract and could be signed directly, Miyahara Jing decisively signed his name in the place where he signed.
Seeing that Miyahara Shizune had finally signed, Hiroyuki Yamaga's face finally showed a bright smile.
This means that the contract is officially effective, and EVA's final 450 million has arrived.
Both G-Society and Miyahara Shizune thought they were on the wrong side, and they were both happy with the outcome of the negotiations.
