Chapter 523: Album and Agency
In the end, Haruka Asami didn't directly tell anyone else about the conversation with Hao Ping.
After what happened to Haruka Asami, Nanase also knew that if he continued to be distracted, it would cause inconvenience to other voice actors who were also project participants, so he cheered up and threw himself into his work.
Michiko Yasumen hasn't attacked again since the last time, and in a kind of silent tacit understanding, things seem to have returned to square one again.
However, whether it is really back to the original state is unclear to everyone.
All in all, it seems that the small waves after the New Year's visit finally entered a brief lull.
I have heard that many people always like to immerse themselves in their work once they fall into something difficult to choose, and their busy work fills their brains, so they naturally have no time to think about what they have and don't.
Hao Ping, who thought so, devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work.
However, even the work did not make him feel at ease.
"The people over there at Lantis have gone a little too far." Uehara Tomoe was not angry yet, but Hao Ping was a little angry.
Recently, when he was in a bad mood, any problem could ignite his anger.
Tomoe Uehara just went to talk to the people on Lantis' side about the new album, but unexpectedly, the people on Lantis's side used too many people to release an album after the year, saying that the club's resources were not enough and could not support the release of a new album for the time being.
What makes Hao Ping and Uehara Tomoe angry is that they are not talking about the album of the idol master, but the new album of Love Live. Before that, Lantis was thinking about when to agree to a new album for G Society. The change in attitude would be surprising to say that there was no impact from the new project.
Lantis is determined to use his influence to card them in waves.
Yue Uehara was also a little unhappy, so angry that he directly told Lantis' people that he wanted to redeem the music copyright that was originally signed and belonged to the Love Live project.
In the end, of course, it didn't work out.
Lantis wanted the music here, but they wouldn't let go of the cash cow.
"Let's find a way to deal with the album problem of the idol master first." Lantis's side has to pull the second skin face, even if it is Uehara Yue, there is no good way. I can only turn to the next best thing and deal with the preparations related to the release of the album of the idol master first.
The first thing is to find a record label.
In fact, as long as you are willing to pay for it, it doesn't seem like a problem to find a music company with the current situation of G Society. Not to mention anything else, with the current reputation of the idol master project and the golden sign of the curator of Love Live, many music companies are willing to gamble to support their albums.
But after Lantis, Uehara began to get tangled.
If you fall for it once, you can't fall in the same place twice.
In the end, Uehara Tomoe could only carefully investigate their identities and backgrounds one by one from the music companies they intended, and contact them to discuss the terms of cooperation. However, the conditions proposed by Miss Uehara were really harsh, which made many people retreat.
After all, everyone wants to make money, and Yue Uehara refuses to take out the distribution rights of the music, and is only willing to cooperate according to the number of albums.
They have never been the only ones who exploit singers, and they have never seen singers exploit them.
In the end, the work on Uehara-sama's side also fell into trouble.
The original promise to release an album at the same time ended up being unable to be released on either side, which made Miss Uehara angry enough.
But fortunately, the promised time for the new album is still in time, and the music on the idol master's side has actually been prepared, as long as everything is set, there are also a lot of songs on the Live side that are prepared in advance, as long as the game is broken, everything will be completed soon.
This is barely good news.
But if we can't find a way to resolve these contradictions in time, then these preparations are of little use.
The album didn't work here, so Yue Uehara had to put his mind on another place where money came from - the overseas version of "Holy Grail War" cooperation. That is, to talk about cooperation with agents in Switzerland.
But something is wrong here.
"Mr. Giles, from what we know, it seems that the strength of your company does not provide a good resource."
The Swiss who approached Hosoi to talk about cooperation is called Giles? Scott.
Although when he first approached Hosoi to cooperate, Hosoi was full of joy, after all, no matter how he didn't want to see the "godson" of "Holy Grail War", it was a good opportunity to expand the influence of his studio. And, as Uehara said, the cost of converting the game to other languages is extremely low. There's no reason not to do this kind of good business.
But after getting to know Giles' company deeply, both Tomoe Uehara and Hosoi have a feeling that they have been tricked.
This company is indeed a game company in Switzerland, and it also produces and represents some games, but if you look closely at those games, almost all of them are produced by small factories. Not to mention games like triple-A masterpieces, there are very few online games. It's more of a "indie game".
What's even more desperate is that because Giles's game company doesn't play very well, they have a small number of users.
Giles is also in a quandary now, having thought that Holy Grail Wars was just a "fangame", which is similar to the "indie games" they have been representing.
Who knew that this "fangame" was made by the same community at the beginning, and it was completely commercial in the future. Behind it, there is also the shadow of the commercial company G Society. In this way, Giles's company has no advantage.
But.
"President Uehara, our company is not well-known yet, but please believe us. I've seen that this game called "Holy Grail Wars" has a very interesting gameplay and will definitely be a hit. ”
Of course, Giles did not forget that he was in the negotiations.
"However, now other companies besides us may not believe you, even if they represent your game, they will not give better terms than us."
It can be seen that Giles is not a good negotiator, if calculated according to the standard negotiation ability of G Society, it is about 1.5 Hao Ping's negotiation ability.
But Giles was really anxious.
As reported by Tomoe Uehara, his company is not very strong. Some good games don't want to go to them. When he came to Japan this time, he wanted to find some potential games from a country that had been in contact with Europe and the United States in terms of games in the past.
When I was bored, I stumbled upon the special gameplay of "Holy Grail War".
He quickly downloaded the game, and after slaughtering a lot of peace-loving otaku players like Ami Aono, he finally made it to the high-end game. Inside, you can see how this game really works. In his opinion, the potential of this game is very huge, and it would be a shame to stay here for this group of otaku as a gacha game.
He felt that if he could successfully represent this game, he might be able to bring a turnaround to his company.
Therefore, it is necessary to win the agency rights in Europe before other companies see this game!
But the proletariat has all kinds of proletarian reasons, and the capitalists are the same. Uehara Tomoe is not open to do good things, so he naturally seems a little hesitant about such a situation.
"Let us think about it."
