Chapter 699: Negotiation
Shen Xin is open to whether Orochi agrees.
He doesn't want "DN" to be snubbed by readers because of the late-night file, not to mention, compared with traditional TV broadcasting, online video also has its natural advantages, that is, after the video is uploaded, it can always be screened online, and there is no need to see animation again like a TV station, in addition to recording it yourself, you can only wait for the TV station to rebroadcast it.
There will be a lot of new ones coming out every month.,Some TV stations are already full of programs.,Rerun comics must be suitable for all ages.,From that point of view,"DN" is not suitable.γ
Some video websites have begun to cooperate with animation companies, and the fees they give animation companies are even higher than those of TV stations, especially some exclusive masterpieces, and the prices are even more exaggerated.
However, for major comic magazines such as "Comic Future", they still feel that the signature comics are better shown on TV stations - although the online platform has a larger audience, there is still a difference in specifications compared to the TV station.
Many people learn about comics by watching TV; For cartoonists, the fact that animation can log in to the TV station can be regarded as a proof of their own strength, but Shen Xin does not need these proofs.
In fact, the model of "Steel Refining" in Omi is to sell the copyright of the animation to video websites, and similarly, in Huaxia, after the animation of "Steel Forged" was broadcast on TV stations, it was also broadcast on video websites, and the response from readers was good, and more importantly, the copyright income of Huaxia and Omi alone has made Orochi earn back half of the cost, which is also something that many people did not expect.
Tomita lunges to the head.
Animation, in the final analysis, is also a commercial creation, and the main purpose is definitely to make a profit.
District 11 is okay to say, but they really don't have connections in Huaxia, and they relied on "Comic Future" before, and this time I'm afraid it won't go so well, so it's better to sell it directly to animation video sites - Huaxia also buys animation from District 11 every year, so orochi also has connections with several video sites.
"If it premieres on a video site, the disc may not be sold." Tomita lunge sighed.
The unit price of a DVD is almost 300 yuan, and a BD is also 600 yuan.
If readers can see the video from the website, a large percentage of readers may not buy the disc, which is also a part of the loss for Orochi.
"There should still be a certain market for BD." After hearing the translation, Wang Wenhong coughed lightly, "BD has collectible value, so some viewers will choose to buy BD." Of course, it depends on the market's reaction - in fact, as long as you sell the video to a video website, you should be able to pay for yourself. Even if it is screened on the website, "DN" is also the premiere, and the price should be better. β
"We can talk about it." Tomita lunged and nodded, while mentally thinking about the next process.
Many times, comics are made into animations, and the production company will bring in other companies to form a committee, and the production costs will be shared equally, and the relevant copyrights will be divided equally, such as games, animation, music, toys, etc., but Shen Xin dismantled the copyright of "DN", and the copyright of film and television and games are not added to this cooperation, and the surrounding area of "DN" does not have much value, so the model of the organizing committee is definitely not good, and you can only find investors by yourself.
On the one hand, there are TV stations, and on the other hand, video websites, these two pieces must be tightly grasped.
"By the way, Mr. Shen, DN...... How long is it? Because now I'm not sure if it's a year, or a half-year? It will have an impact on our plans. Shoji Uno asked.
"How long?"
Shen Xin frowned slightly and knocked on the table.
As of L's death, "DN" has a total of 58 chapters, considering that this comic has a lot of lines, it should be about the same for half a year.
"I can't give you a definitive answer right now, but the whole manga won't be too long. Let's wait until the Chinese New Year...... The Chinese New Year should be decided. β
"Chinese New Year?" The muscles on the corner of Zhuang Si Yuye's mouth twitched, "Teacher Shen, is there still a few months left before the Chinese New Year?" β
"However, "DN" is only serialized for 6 episodes." Shen Xin smiled bitterly.
Shoji Uno sighed.
It's the same, I'm too anxious.
"But...... If you're negotiating with a TV station or a website, you need to have an approximate duration, right? β
"In that case...... Shen Xin rubbed his chin, "In two days, I'll repeat the plot and give you an answer at that time." β
Even if he knew that "DN" would only be produced for half a year and a half at most, if he said it too directly, and the final length was about the same, it would definitely make people suspicious.
"That's fine. Then we'll hear from you. β
Tomita lunge and Shoji Uno stood up, bowed deeply to Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong, and then left the studio first.
"WhewβI'm so tired!"
After sending the three away, Wang Wenhong sat on the sofa on the first floor, while Shen Xin took out a can of energy drinks from the refrigerator and threw it to Wang Wenhong, and Shen Xin also took a can of Coke.
"Teacher, is it done?" Liu Ruoxing asked curiously.
Gao Hang glanced at Shen Xin, and when he saw that there was no smile on his face, he knew that it was not going well, so he knocked on the table and gave Liu Ruoxing a look.
Liu Ruoxing stuck out his tongue and quickly stopped.
"Actually, it's nothing, generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with this cooperation, and some details need to be carefully scrutinized." Shen Xin took a sip of Coke, "In the next period of time, I may have to trouble Brother Wang." β
"No way, who let me eat this bowl of rice?" Wang Wenhong smiled bitterly.
Orochi has no problem animating, and now the thing that needs to be solved is the next house.
They don't know the people at the TV station, and they don't know the people at the website, so if the animation is made, "who to sell to" becomes a problem.
Of course, from the current point of view, selling to video sites has the largest profits, and their goal is also to explore the tone of these websites, and by the way, pave the way for the future - in addition to "DN", Shen Xin will also draw other comics in the future.
This time, I will use "DN" to explore the way, communicate with major websites, and if there is similar cooperation, there will be several more ways to choose.
Before doing these well, the copyright income of "DN" is a trivial matter, at most, it is just to make more or less money.
This time, we must succeed in one fell swoop, otherwise, we will not be able to jump out of the shackles of magazines or other platforms in the future.
When the others heard Shen Xin say that there was no problem, they also relaxed a little.
They are following Shen Xin now, of course, they hope that Shen Xin will be better, especially, they are also very comfortable staying here, not only the salary is high, but the bonus is also considerable.
Shen Xin walked to Wang Wenhong's side, patted Wang Wenhong's shoulder, and then walked slowly upstairs.
Wang Wenhong held the can and fell into long thought.
