Shen Xin's words not only reminded Long Yao's three shareholders, but also reminded Bao Jiyi and Shang Haozhi.

Magazines, in the final analysis, are selling books, single comics, and magazines.

They also chose animation companies for animation with this purpose.

In general, they don't care too much, because even high-quality animation production can't bring too much revenue to comics, because the story of the comics themselves is not so eye-catching.

But good manga is different, and with high-quality animation, it can create great benefits.

Whether the end of an animation is good or bad can be felt directly by the audience.

Take "Chess Soul" as an example, Xiaoguang's loss to Xiaoliang is the end of the first stage and the first metamorphosis of Xiaoguang. For emotionally sensitive audiences, they may feel aggrieved, then "Chess Soul" will lose this part of the readership.

If it is finished after entering the Go dojo, the audience will be in a different mood.

First of all, Xiaoguang becomes a dojo student as a successful person, and the audience will be happy for Xiaoguang. Secondly, since Xiaoguang entered the dojo, it means that the next story is between Xiaoguang and other students. But the animation ends abruptly here, but the audience may not be satisfied.

If the audience still wants to know the plot behind it, the only way is to buy the comics. In this way, the sales of single books will be boosted.

In general, Bao Jiyi rarely follows up to this stage of the project.

This time it involves the animation company in District 11, and the development trend of "Chess Soul" in District 11 may even be better than "The Legend of the Dragon King", he wants to use the comic "Chess Soul" to carry out more cooperation with "Young Leap", so he has been involved in it. Shen Xin said this, he didn't know, but he hadn't followed the project to this point for a long time, and he ignored the existence of these problems.

As for Shang Haozhi, because there were too many companies involved, he was also negligent in this matter.

After being reminded by Shen Xin, Bao Jiyi's attitude was no longer as dispensable as before, but looked at Long Tian, the general manager of Long Yao, with very expectant eyes.

"Mr. Long, Mr. Futian, I think what Mr. Shen said is very reasonable. If "Chess Soul" is published now with 100 words, I support the production of annual episodes, but now there are only 40 episodes, and the content is only enough to produce half a year. At the same time, if you make a season of 13 episodes, it's really embarrassing to have an end. What do you think? Just do it for half a year. Bao Jiyi finalized the length of the comic.

Oi and Fukuda discussed it, and they didn't have much opinion, and for them, there was no problem with funds. If you can do the New Year and hold the release rights of "Chess Soul" in District 11, it will be the best. If you only do it for half a year, you can accept it by looking at the market's reaction first.

"Yes, but I hope that Orochi can get the right to produce the second season first under the same conditions." Fukuda made his own request.

"Of course, these can be written in the contract." Bao Jiyi smiled, pushed his gold-wire glasses, and looked at Long Yao's side again, "Manager Long, what do you think?" ”

Long Tian had just opened his mouth, and before he could speak, the person in charge of the TV station raised his hand, "I want to say a word." ”

"Director Gu, please say something." Bao Jiyi said.

Shen Xin also looked at Director Gu, but found that he was a middle-aged man with a small flat head and looked very energetic.

"I just listened to Mr. Shen's words, and I suddenly felt that half a year is indeed better, so no matter who of you produces, the TV station is interested in the screening rights of Huaxia." Director Gu said with a smile.

When Long Tian heard this, he also understood what everyone meant, so he nodded.

"I know, let's do it for half a year."

Bao Jiyi lowered his head, made a record in his notebook, and then asked Shen Xin, "Mr. Shen, what other requirements do you have for animation." ”

"Request......" Shen Xin scratched his chin, "If you ask...... I hope to be able to follow the story of the manga and advance the plot. Don't add original storytelling. ”

"When we were making animations, "Chess Soul" was also serialized, so we shouldn't need an original plot." Long Tian hurriedly said.

And asking a screenwriter to write an original plot also requires a sum of money, which is crucial.

"Also, it's music, I think good music is also part of good animation, and I hope that the two companies can give 100% of their strength to do all the music of "Chess Soul"."

The music of the original "Chess Soul" animation is very classic, and it matches the story very well. In particular, the first theme song "Getover", when the rhythm is fast, the whole song with the lyrics can bring people infinite power, and when the rhythm of the song is soothed, there is a faint sadness.

When Xiaoguang's memories disappear, every time this song plays in the background, tears often can't help but flow.

Shen Xin knew that this piece was very suitable for "Chess Soul", whether it was the lyrics or the style, but he couldn't say it, or even hum it. Even if the production company is willing to use the tune, they have to ask where the song came from.

More is better than less, Shen Xin can only put forward his own requirements, how the two companies do it depends on their operations.

At this time, Long Tian coughed dryly and asked, "Mr. Shen shouldn't know much about animation production, right?" ”

Shen Xin nodded, he really didn't know much about animation production, but he watched a lot of animation.

"The music of the animation is in charge of the record company, and they will also release the music album after the animation is released, so all the music of "Chess Soul" can only ask the record company to find high-quality musicians." Long Tian explained.

"That's right." Shang Haozhi explained on the side.

Shen Xin scratched his head, he didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Fukuda suddenly interjected and said a lot of Japanese, Shen Xin blinked, he didn't understand well, and the other Huaxia people were also confused.

Oi then translated Fukuda's words into Huaxia.

President Fukuda said that if you can't find a suitable record company, Orochi can be responsible for contacting it, but the record company must have a global license for the music.

The people present looked at each other, and finally their eyes focused on Long Tian.

"I ...... I don't care, because the music is produced by the record company alone, and it is not included in the production fee of the animation, but my condition is that the animation songs outside the 11th area must be Chinese. ”

The quality of the music depends on the strength of the record company, and after the animation is released, the income of the record company mainly depends on the record, not the animation, and there is no competition with Long Yao. Therefore, Long Yao also thinks more openly, and he doesn't have the energy to contact the record company now.

What's more, if the quality of the theme song or ending song is very high, it will also be of great benefit to the sales increase.

In the following hours, each side discussed the more detailed situation, and Shen Xin didn't care too much about it, because he rarely could interject anymore.

Seeing that the meeting was over and all parties were signing the contract, Shen Xin suddenly remembered a very important question.

"Mr. Long, I want to ask, when will the animation of "Chess Soul" be released?"

Long Tian had just closed the pen, and when he heard Shen Xin's words, he was slightly stunned, and then looked at Director Gu, "Director Gu, when can you arrange it?" ”

"October...... I've already applied with the leaders of the station before, and it will be broadcast every Saturday at 8 p.m. ”

Shen Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this, this time is almost the best time to play.

"Thank you, Director Gu." Shen Xin hurriedly thanked him.

"Then draw a few more good works." Director Gu's eyes narrowed.

Shen Xin thought of another thing, the time and place were favorable, and almost all of them were available. "Chess Soul" hit the first place of "ComicFuture" from October.
