On November 29, the others went to Kamakura to visit the pear yarn and enjoy the maple leaves.

Yuu Murakami was just the president, and there were many things that needed to be familiar with the firm, so he refused.

"What's wrong with you? You don't really dislike growing sauce, do you? Suzune Sakura looked at him suspiciously.

Ai Nakano also said: "Murakami-kun, no matter how busy you are, you have to pay a visit." ”

"That's it!" Higashiyama pouted dissatisfiedly, "I ask you every time." ”

"That's right." Suzune Sakura nodded, "She must be afraid that others will discriminate against her for having cancer, and even if you are a friend, you will definitely be sad and sad." Next time you have to go! ”

Ai Nakano glanced at Higashiyama.

"If things go well, maybe next week." Yu Murakami replied.

"Doesn't it go well?"

"If it doesn't go well, find a way, and I'll always go."

"That's pretty much it. Say yes. Miss Sakura's handsome little face smiled at Murakami obediently.

A group of people frolicked, changed into shoes that had gone out of the house, and set off. On Suzune Sakura's slender neck, there is a camera that looks very heavy at first glance.

I'll be tired halfway through, absolutely.

Yu Murakami, who continues to stay in Tokyo, also has to work hard for his own business - the animation of "Swaying Travel".

With his current identity and connections, it's not impossible to find light or comics that have been animated.

But after all, that would cause trouble for others, and Risa Taneda would also have the idea of being charitated.

The animation of "Swaying Travel" can solve all problems, and the role of the teacher was originally written according to her, so she has to do it.

On Sunday, Akira Ishida and Tsumiya were empty, and he made an appointment to meet at a café in Ginza, the one where he and Kawabata first met.

Kawabata, as the editor of "Swinging Travel", was also invited.

"It's so rare, take the initiative to make an appointment on the weekend...... How come there are still two middle-aged and old men? Nail Palace came over jokingly.

"I've let you down, Nailiya-san." Akira Ishida, who came first, looked back and smiled.

Kawabata nodded politely.

After the greetings, Yu Murakami took the initiative to speak:

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you. There is still some money in the office account, and the old president is in a five-year period, and I am not in a hurry to pay him, I plan to use it for other things first. ”

"What's the matter?" Akira Ishida was the first to ask.

In order to raise this money, he now owes a lot of debts, and he is more concerned about the smooth operation of the firm than anyone else.

The other two didn't speak.

Nailed Gong Weixi held his chin, his hands unconsciously stirred the coffee, and his eyes looked at the animals folding in various colored papers by the window in a daze.

Kawabata felt that this was an internal affair of YM Office.

"I took a fancy to an anime and decided to set up a production committee to make it into an anime."

All three focused their eyes on him.

It's not that the firm can't invest in animation.

Now, as long as you have the capital, you feel that a certain light book or comic can be profitable, and you can invest in real estate - mainly toy companies or TV stations.

Anyway, the production of animation is left to a professional animation company, and investors need to pay attention to only whether their vision is good enough and whether the funds are sufficient.

However, YM is still in debt, and Yuu Murakami has just become the president, so it is important to maintain the current level of profitability.

Akira Ishida first saw that Yu Murakami promised not to change personnel before the end of the year to appease the hearts of the members; and selected the voice actor award list with his strength, winning the support of the voice actors, and his heart was faintly relaxed.

Although Murakami's private life has been a little profligate, in serious matters, he has a calmness far beyond his age.

As a result, now on a whim, I want to adapt the manga?!

"You've decided." Nailing Gong Weixi said indifferently.

As a result, the second shareholder of YM could not even say "I don't agree".

Akira Ishida took a sip of bitter coffee without adding milk or sugar.

"The comic you're talking about can't be "Swaying Travel", right?" Kawabata spoke suddenly.

"Swinging Travel?" Akira Ishida suddenly remembered that Yu Murakami was not only a voice actor, but also a president, a manga artist and a light family.

Take the money from the office and make your own manga into an anime?

Whether it's a comic or a light, as long as it's animated, there is a very important reason, which is to promote the original work.

In other words, Yu Murakami is using power for personal gain and advertising his works? And then to achieve personal profit?

Akira Ishida said quietly: "This can't be Murakami-kun's own manga, right?" ”

"That's right." Yu Murakami admitted dryly.

Akira Ishida looked at the nail palace and hoped that the other party would find out that the new president was misappropriating the company's assets for his own profit.

Nail Gong Weixi retracted his gaze outside the window and asked with interest, "You still draw comics?" ”

Is the focus here?! Akira Ishida was so anxious that his body began to get hot.

Yu Murakami looked at Kawabata: "Please trouble Kawabata-san to show them the sample of the first volume of the single book." ”

Kawabata came today to discuss with Yu Murakami about the single book, and the other party asked him to bring two copies, thinking that he was going to take them back as a souvenir, but it turned out to be this plan.

"Oh?" Nail Palace Miki took the manga with interest and looked at it leisurely.

"It's not enough to be adapted into an anime, is it?" Akira Ishida questioned.

Yu Murakami said, "Believe me, the drawing is definitely faster than the production team's production." ”

Akira Ishida was about to say something, but Kawabata preemptively said: "

That is true. Mr. Murakami can always deliver the manuscript as soon as possible, and this is still his case, and if he has an assistant, the efficiency will be faster.

Moreover, after the animation, in order to show the beauty of the scenery, it will definitely take more time to spend on the attractions, and the plot can be extended.

Although the time is a bit rushed, the content of the season should be fine. ”

Akira Ishida glanced at his old friend and looked at it seriously.

One volume of ten words, counting the introduction of the characters at the beginning, and the promotion of Fangbunsha's signature comics "Rabbit" and "NEW GAME" at the end, a total of about 200 pages.

Half an hour after the two finished reading, Yu Murakami and Kawabata chatted about publishing, and each added a cup of coffee.

"It's fun!" Nail Gong Weixi turned the page casually, "It turns out that you usually have such a rich life." ”

"They're." Yu Murakami corrected.

"You're not there? I see a lot of details drawn! ”

"Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. When you're not there, listen to them or look at the photos. ”

"I'm so envious." Nailgong Weixi shook his head, "It's a pity that at my age, it's difficult to fit into them." ”

"It's a good opportunity to hold a year-end party at the end of the year."

"Year's Eve Party?!" Nailing Gong Weixi's mood suddenly became less beautiful, and he stopped talking.

After reading the manga, Akira Ishida pondered for a while, and then pondered and said:

"If the voice actor is chosen according to the manga, he shouldn't lose money. If Murakami-kun plays the role of a passer-by again, such as platform broadcasting, and narration of scenic spot introductions, maybe you will still make money. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly felt that this plan was not bad: maybe the debt repayment could be shortened for a long time!

"That's right." As soon as he was excited, his brain circuit became active, "Shall we find more sponsors to share the risk?" Toydealers can definitely find it.

The manga is promoting free spots in Tokyo, and TV Tokyo is not a big problem. Doable, absolutely doable!

And Hokkaido TV - Isn't it always said in the manga that the protagonist is going to Hokkaido with a part-time job? Sponsorship is not a problem! ”

Yu Murakami didn't expect that he was originally going to do a business that would not lose money or make money, but how could he still make money?

It's definitely not going to work.

He said: "The two TV stations can talk, and the toy company will forget it." ”

"Why?! Figurines, stationery, travel equipment, etc., especially animated characters, are the most profitable items! Akidai Ishida did not agree with this plan, so he went to court to sue him for deliberately damaging the company's interests.

Yu Murakami casually found a reason: "I drew it according to the voice actor himself, and the character image is not suitable." ”

“...... This is too. Akira Ishida calmed down.

Without the big income of the persona, I am afraid that few people in the toy company are willing to invest.

His mind turned, and another idea came to mind:

"If our firm can contribute, other firms can also contribute! In particular, AXL-ONE by Mizurai and IN by Higashiyama, and Ozawa by Ai Nakano.

In this way, the most profitable part of the animated character image is no problem, and the voice actors can also use it to attract fans.

President Murakami! The day after tomorrow is the president's meeting, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! When the time comes, be sure to talk to them about it! ”

Yu Murakami let out an "ah", nothing special meaning.

Akira Ishida only thought that he agreed, and excitedly opened his mouth to take on the persuasion work of the two TV stations in Tokyo and Hokkaido.

"I'm just waiting to make money?" Nailed Gong asked at the end of the day.

"That's right! And Nailiya-san! You are also one of the funders, so it is appropriate to have a supporting role in it and help with publicity, right?

Wait, this pattern......

We can't let the famous voice actors of the office serve as passers-by in one episode each! Yukari Tamura, Yui Horie and Mai Nakahara...... In this way, the ratings are definitely high! Let TV stations and advertisers pay more! ”

After hearing this, Kawabata promised that when he returned, he would try his best to talk to the president about the investment.

Yu Murakami, who was afraid of making more money, said: "Then let's invest a little more, and make the production cost of 20 million yen per episode to make the picture quality as good as possible." ”

At present, the average cost of animation production is about 1500~16 million yen per episode.

"It's Murakami-kun, I'm still thinking about investment, and you've already considered selling CDs! By the way, in addition to the animation disc, there are also song discs! The water and the Dongshan must be maximized! And ......"

For two hours, Yu Murakami listened to Akira Ishida's chatter.

In the middle of the process, he also took out a pen and paper and directly began to write the plan: how to distribute the funds, the direction of future profits, and so on.

"Murakami-kun, when the president meets, please show this to the other presidents!"

Looking at Akira Ishida's expression of preparing to do a big job, Yu Murakami didn't know what to say.

It seems impossible not to make money, and I just hope that because there are more funders, he will earn less personally.

When the time came to December, the weather did not suddenly enter the favorite season of water and prayer.

Of course, the temperature of five or six degrees in the morning and evening is quite cold, but during the day when the weather is clear, the sun shines brightly on the streets, making people feel warm.

Yu Murakami attended the president's meeting organized by the Haiyu Alliance, and heard a lot of nice things from others, such as continuing to protect the interests of voice actors in the future.

After removing the makeup, it is probably that the firms have joined forces to squeeze the cheap labor of voice actors as much as possible, so that they do not quarrel for salary increases and strive for better treatment.

There are people with vested interests here, and they all agree with it, even though many of them are voice actors turned presidents.

After the meeting, when Yumasa Murakami hesitated how to speak, he was not good at dealing with people, so Tomoyuki Morikawa, the president of the Suilai Prayer Office, took the initiative to talk to him.

"Murakami-kun, there's a drinking party between the presidents later, do you want to go? I heard that you are a great drinker, and I have always wanted to compete with you! ”

"Okay." He took advantage of the situation.

At the reception, Yu Murakami showed the plans for the animation of "Swinging Travel" written by Akira Ishida to the presidents of AXL-ONE, IN, and Ozawa.

Kenichi Suzumura, president of IN, said: "Higashiyama's character image, I don't count what I said, you can go directly to her personally." Forget about the contribution. ”

The president of the Ozawa office, who cares most about the image of the female voice actor, said that it would take time to think about it, and then gave him an answer.

Tomoyuki Morikawa took a draft beer glass that was bigger than his face, "If you win by drinking, my family's character image and investment are all right." If you lose, don't talk about it. ”

So the two of them began to drink.

In the middle of the conversation, we talked about various topics, such as the experience of the voice actor becoming the president and the things to pay attention to after becoming the president.

And when I have time to play golf.

The course in Hakone offers a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji, the scenery of Lake Ashi, and the clubs and holes.

Kobe Hirono's stadium, how it is;

The famous "Fuji Stadium", how about it.

Tomoyuki Morikawa didn't know if he was really powerful, or he didn't want to invest, so he drank from one to five o'clock, so he was unwilling to admit defeat.

When he was drunk, he had to take a photo with Yu Murakami and post it on his personal blog.

Leaving the reception, the winter days are short, and it is already dusk at five o'clock.

Because you can see the police just a few steps from the drinking place, even if Yu Murakami is sober now, he can't go back on a motorcycle.

Walking slowly to the station, Akira Ishida called and asked how the situation was.

"Shui Laiqi's character image and investment are no problem; Nakano Ai is still talking; Dongshan 柟, the image has to ask her personally, there is no investment. ”

"So you've already won two images?" Akira Ishida tacitly assumed that Yu Murakami had already taken care of Higashiyama, "Good news." It doesn't matter if you invest in this area, too much we will earn less. Now it's almost certain to be profitable! ”

"I hope so."

Hanging up the phone, he took a copy of "New Wave Weekly" from the bookshelf in the waiting hall, and flipped through it while waiting for the bus.

"Hum~"

Mizurai: Murakami-san! Murakami-san!

Shui Laiqi: What's going on!

Yu Murakami: Why

Shui Laiqi sent a picture, which is a screenshot of a mobile phone.

Yu Murakami took a look at the latest developments on Tomoyuki Morikawa's blog.

His face was as usual, Tomoyuki Morikawa was drunk with a thumbs up, and the wine piled up on the table, all of which were fine.

The key is the wording: This guy, stronger than me, can become the new BL emperor.

Yu Murakami was still wondering what this sentence meant, and Mizulai Qi sent another message.

Mizurai: Have you been infected by the president of my family!?

Mizurai: Are you going to take the BL route in the future!?

Yu Murakami: What the hell is going on?

Mizurai: The president is known as the emperor of the BL world, and he is proud of it, even conceited

Shui Laiqi: He is an ordinary person, and he has a strange point of pride as a result

Mizurai: But it's great that Murakami-san can get his approval!

Shui Laiqi: But this kind of recognition is not necessary

Yu Murakami: We didn't talk about dubbing at all, let alone BL, let's get drunk

Mizurai: Perhaps

Mizurai: The president doesn't even like fishing, which shows how bad he is

Yu Murakami: ......

Mizurai: Murakami-san! Tomorrow is my birthday!

Yu Murakami: What do you want?

Shui Laiqi: I have a concert tomorrow, please come and watch it!

Yu Murakami: Don't you need a gift?

Shui Laiqi: Remember to call me next time you bet on horses! I want to buy the office too! AXL-ONE is cheap!

...... After talking for a long time, no one around seemed to believe that he really bought the money from the lottery ticket.

So where did the hell this money come from? Yu Murakami put the New Wave Weekly back on the shelf, thought about the question, and walked into the tram.
