Entering July, Ningjiang is getting hotter and hotter.

The air conditioner on the second floor of Phantom Electric Animation has been turned on to the maximum, but it still can't withstand the heat wave outside the window, in the conference room, Xu Rui took the planning book, glanced at the employees of Phantom Electric Company below, and then looked at Li Ruoxuan, the editor of "Monthly Youth Frontline" sitting in the back.

"Everyone, we are going to take on a manga adaptation animation project next, the original is "Soul Eater" that is being serialized in the "Monthly Shonen Front", this comic has been purchased and placed on the bookshelf in the lounge, everyone must read the original carefully."

After a pause, Xu Rui continued.

"It's just that this adaptation is not a copy of the original.,It's a prequel animation made with the consent of the original author.,The specific plot outline is in the planning book in everyone's hands.,I only have one request.。

Glancing at Li Ruoxuan, who was eager to try with his hands clenched into fists, Xu Rui spoke.

"That is, everyone should keep the plot of this animation absolutely secret."

"Huh?" "Confidential...... Isn't this a manga? "What do you mean?"

The people who haven't read the script below are a little confused, and only Cheng Kewei nodded thoughtfully after reading the full script like this.

"The first episode of this anime cuts from an official organization that uses high-tech means to eliminate spirits.,Long-haired girls on motorcycles and teenagers with double-gun seemingly cruel backgrounds.,They and other members easily deal with evil spirits that the army can't defeat.,But they encounter a new crisis.,Just after the hard way to solve.,A woman in a short-skirted school uniform appears.,Cleanly behead everyone.。

Cheng Ke roughly summarized the plot of the first episode, and it can be seen that the beginning is actually quite cliché, but the reversal at the end of the first episode is surprising, because no one would have thought that the person who looks most like the protagonist would actually receive the bento directly.

"Wait, if you look at it this way, the second episode is the same routine, another group of soul removal organizations appear, eliminate the crisis, and finally met the girl in the school uniform, almost all of them were destroyed, who is the protagonist of this comic......"

Tao Ran looked at the script in the planning book and muttered.

He hasn't read the original work of "Soul Eater", but judging from the script in his hand, this comic is quite good at playing, not only is it different from the general hot-blooded boy comics that will not die for half a day, and the bento will be sent casually, and the ending of the total destruction at the beginning is also quite shocking, as a senior dead house, he should have seen it a long time ago and was impressed, right?

"If you look at the third episode later, you will find that the first two episodes are the later plots, and the real story starts from the third episode, while getting rid of demons after school, on the other hand, the fresh daily life of the two girls, but the plot at the beginning is still hovering in the hearts of the audience, making people curious about what caused the originally beautiful daily life to become such a cruel ending."

Although Guo Weiren is the oldest in the world, he has been working in an animation company anyway, and he has an understanding of the emerging animation themes in recent years, but this kind of expression still makes him a little excited, looking forward to the reaction of the audience.

"Because of this, in order to control the emotions of the audience in the first three episodes, we need to disguise from the beginning of the promotion."

Xu Rui saw that everyone had basically read the plot at the beginning, so he said.

"From the official website to various publicity, we have to tell everyone at the beginning that we tell the story of the high-tech soul eradication organization to deceive the audience to the greatest extent."

Hearing Xu Rui's words, everyone was silent for a while, as if imagining what would happen if they followed Xu Rui's plan and waited until the day the animation was broadcast.

"In this case, the topic may be very high, after all, after watching animation for so many years, it is unprecedented to dare to start an animation that allows all the protagonists who were previously advertised to receive bentos."

Cheng Ke said that although there are many animations that use flashbacks, the first episode shows the audience the scene of the final battle to create a sense of expectation, but directly drawing the protagonist, the second episode has changed a group of people, which is really unprecedented.

As a producer, he is the hub of all links, and naturally also has to take into account the reaction of investors and audiences, there is no doubt that if the animation of "Soul Eater" is really broadcast in this way, it will cause unprecedented buzz, which is an excellent way to mobilize the audience's emotions.

"What is the opinion from the magazine?"

Yan Zhe glanced at the little girl behind him, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the editor in charge seemed to be the age of a college student, and he was not very reliable.

"The editor-in-chief agreed to this proposal, and he said that it was a work anyway, uh, a work on the street, and it wouldn't be worse no matter how you play."

Li Ruoxuan smiled a little helplessly, and then added.

"As for the production committee, they originally thought that their investment had gone down the drain, but now that someone is willing to take over and pay back, they naturally have no opinion, and they will not interfere with the creation here."

The production committee is a production form developed by the industry a few years ago to share the investment risk, generally the main planner is looking for investment, and multiple companies jointly invest in a work, and the benefits of the work are also divided by each company according to the proportion of investment, on the one hand, it reduces the cost of the planner's failure, and on the other hand, it also introduces more funds into the industry, which is a commonly used form of production.

Of course, with the development of the Internet, there are also some companies that choose to pay for their own profits and losses in order to avoid the interference of investors in the production site, such as Rainbow Media, a subsidiary of Tomato Video Network, except for a few feature-length comic adaptations, each season's new animation is almost wholly invested by Tomato Video Network, broadcast exclusively on Tomato Video Network, and make a lot of money.

This time, the animation of "Soul Eater: Zero", Phantom Electric also invested, accounting for about 21% of it, although it is not much, but it is finally out of the ranks of pure part-time jobs.

"Soul Eater: Zero" is currently tentatively scheduled to be broadcast online, and there is a website in the production committee called Chengkong Video Network that will get the priority to play, this video network is a website controlled by New Front Media, so it will join the production committee, as for whether it will log in to other websites, it depends on the negotiations between the companies after the announcement.

The price of the broadcast rights of a twelve-episode animation season ranges from one million to several million, "One Piece" is broadcast exclusively on Tomato Video Network, and it is speculated that the price of about one season is seven million, and the original work of "Soul Eater: Zero" is unknown, and the production company is also a new company's animation, and the price can only reach the million level.

"If there are no problems, we will start the creation of "Soul Eater: Zero" tomorrow, and the goal is to broadcast it in January next year, which will be the first animation after the reconstruction of the magic animation, and I hope you can take it seriously."

Xu Rui looked at everyone and said.

In the evening a few hours later, Ningjiang City Phantom Animation, "Monthly Youth Frontline", and Chengkong Video Network's Weibo were updated on Weibo at the same time.

——"The animation production of the popular comic "Soul Eater" has been confirmed, and the production company is Ningjiang Phantom Animation Production Company. ”
