Chapter 403: Return
Readx;?Top Recommendation:、、、、、、、
Wang Qinian stayed in Japan for a week, during which he inevitably signed many contracts with some Japanese companies and reached many cooperations. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
For example, the Tianshu e-paper book of the small partner company is also popular in Japan. Some large publishers may be very dismissive. However, some small publishing institutions, due to limited sales channels, have begun to sign contracts with Tianshu Company, and a large number of light novels and comics have landed on the Tianshu platform.
In Japan's subways, buses, and other places, it is common to see some young people holding K-held ks to catch up with the latest manga and light novels.
Of course, the K on the Japanese side is actually in charge of the team of News Corporation, which was originally very covetous of the Japanese media market, but because the Japanese media group is very strong, it has always been impossible for News Corp's newspapers and television networks to conquer the Japanese market.
But K, an innovative product, has always been a breakthrough, and after entering the Japanese market, Murdoch's empire suddenly extended its tentacles to Japan.
At present, the sales volume of K in Japan has reached 1.5 million, making it the third largest e-paper book market after China and the United States.
E-paper books in the U.S. market, because of the hegemony of Amazon and K, both sides each account for more than 1 million markets, and combined, the number of e-paper books in the United States has exceeded 3 million users.
In the Chinese market, due to the independent operation of the partner company and the free hardware, all the purchase money is replaced by electronic paper book money for recharge. This kind of marketing method with Internet thinking has made the number of e-paper book holders in the Chinese market exceed 2 million.
The e-paper book in Japan has sprung up, also because News Corp. subsidizes consumers. Follow the example of partner companies in China. Each e-paper book costs up to 30,000 yen. However, all 30,000 yen was converted into electronic money. The strategy of free hardware and paid for content has also begun to work in the Japanese market. In less than a year, K has built an emerging market in Japan that sells more than 600 trillion yen in e-book subscriptions every year. This emerging market physique. It can almost catch up with the traditional Japanese light novel publishing market. Compared with the manga publishing market, although there is still a gap, it is also very difficult.
At present, K's overseas companies are more successful than those in China. It's also inevitable that News Corp. may become a declining empire a decade later, with the rise of Internet media. But now. But it is regarded as a supergiant.
is rich and influential, and is willing to spend money, so it is not an incredible thing that K has opened up the situation.
Of course, although the overseas business is mainly responsible for News Corp., the partner company also owns 49% of the shares in the overseas branch, and the right to suggest is still there.
Therefore, Wang Qinian after meeting with some representatives of Japanese publishers. I began to suggest to Murdoch that the Japanese market publish e-paper books to reduce boring news. It is more based on comics, novels and other interesting content. We can support some small publishers with room for growth and ambition, so that they can become long-term content suppliers on the K platform.
With this reasonable suggestion, Murdoch naturally gave Wang Qinian face and agreed to follow his suggestion.
In fact, getting involved in journalism and politics is not an interesting thing. In particular, if the political energy is insufficient, and if you want to create an influential news media, this is definitely the way to die.
So. Wang Qinian suggested that we should develop in the direction of entertainment and marketization.
……
A week later. Wang Qinian returned with a full load.
Returning home from Japan, there is already a lot of hype in the news media. Boss Wang is ready to return to his old business and shoot a new film "Fate/Staynight", after the news came out, the domestic ACG circle fell into a boiling like abroad!
The fans of the Moon World, the "Moon Chef", rushed to tell each other and convey the good news.
Although, the fans of the domestic ACG circle do not coincide with the cinema audience very much. Because, most live-action movies can't satisfy the interests and tastes of otaku culture circles.
According to the views of practitioners in the traditional film market, most of them cater more to traditional movie audiences than to these otaku who don't go into the cinema to watch movies.
However, the partner company is not only a film production company, at this time, the partner company is already the top three cinema giants in China, with a market share of nearly 10%, which is actually close to the scale of the cinema chains under China Film Group and Shanghai Film Group. It is expected that it will not be long before the theater chain under the small partner will become the first in China. With the development of the Chinese film market, it should be possible for the cinema chain under the small partner to become the first cinema in Asia, or even the first cinema in the world.
After all, in 2015, the Chinese film market has begun to appear, and the box office of movies in a single month exceeds the box office of the North American film market. Although, this is an occasional outbreak, it cannot be said that the annual box office of the film market surpassed that of North America, taking away the position of the world's largest market. But according to this trend, the world's largest film market will sooner or later be China, not North America.
It is precisely because the partner company is not just an ordinary film investor, but a comprehensive entertainment ecosystem. Therefore, investment projects are more based on the overall consideration. For example, the adaptation of "Fate/Staynight" is a live-action movie, in addition to being relatively novel in terms of subject matter and giving the audience a novel experience in the film market. What's more, it attracts ACG people who don't like to watch live-action movies in the past, expands the audience of the film market, and adds more users to theaters, video websites and other platforms.
"Do you really want to make "Fate/Staynight"?" After returning home, Xiaoxiang looked very excited.
"Hmmm! The copyright of film and television adaptation has been won all. The exclusive agency rights for games, animations and peripheral products in the domestic market were also easily won. Wang Qinian said with a smile.
"It's beyond the scope of adaptation rights, how much does it cost?" Xiaoxiang said curiously.
"$3 million guaranteed deposit, plus 10% of the sales profit split!" Wang Qinian explained, "The copyrights of the three most well-known works in the Moon World are basically represented by small partner companies. In the past, there were no genuine sales of stand-alone games in China, but they were also sold. The online game version is developed by our partner company. The movie version is the fastest shooting! ”
In fact, $3 million in the Asian rights trading market is already astronomical. Even a $3 million copyright buyout is definitely a record. However, the partner company adopted a guaranteed buyout plus a share, which touched the heart of the TYPE team.
Of course, the $3 million spent is well worth it, and the copyright of "Fate" alone in Type's work, if it is seriously developed, it can definitely earn a profit that far exceeds the copyright fee dozens of times. In this, it is natural not only to rely on film and television adaptations, but also to rely more on online game adaptations to make profits.
"Can I play a role in Fate/Staynight?" Xiao Xiang suddenly had a whim.
Wang Qinian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "You don't know how to perform?" ”
"I've had the experience of AY acting!" Xiao Xiang took out a stack of various AY photos with great interest. Asuka, Xana, Haruhi Suzumiya and a bunch of popular anime characters are still very recognizable.
"Okay, so you're going to play that role?" Wang Qinian asked.
"Saber! I want to play Saber......" Xiaoxiang's eyes lit up, playing role-playing in a blockbuster movie that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and she was still the amazingly popular Dull King, she was very excited to think about it.
"No way!" Wang Qinian categorically refused, Saber is an extremely important role in the whole movie, and he can't fool around with her.
"Then let me dress up as a man and play Emiya Shirou, hehehehe, the big secret was revealed at the end of the movie, Emiya Shirou is a girl, subverting the three views of the anime version of "Fate/StayNight".
"Nonsense."
"Rin Tosaka, right?"
"This ......"
"Illia Sfil. Feng. Einzbellen, this is the head office, right? ”
"No, Ilia is Lori who will never expire."
"You're saying I'm overdue?" The little fragrant wildcat was half angry and scratched his face with its paws.
"No, isn't it ......" Wang Qinian kept begging for mercy, "You will always be Lori, never expire......"
After some frolic, Xiaoxiang finally took a step back and played Rin Tosaka according to Wang Qinian's suggestion. This role is very suitable for the current Xiaoxiang. (To be continued)
