Chapter 92: When the Sale is in Progress
Although "A Girl Falls in Love with My Sister" is an animation adapted from the eighteen forbidden games, it is not ** or eighteen forbidden animations after all, so the story and picture scale are still very good.
In general, the animation "Girl" has a little sense of déjà vu, and the male protagonist enters a girls' school...... Broadly speaking, it's similar to IS's framework, but they're not the same type of animation.
It's like IS and Lelouch can be regarded as machine battle animations, but the highlights of the two have almost nothing in common.
In terms of character setting, "Sister-sama" is already a completely feminine man, so in terms of subject matter, this animation is fresh and even light lily...... Although judging from the first sexual characteristics, the male protagonist is still a male protagonist.
The characters are not independent or isolated from the story, but in some works, the importance of the character setting will become more and more prominent.
Of course, Miyadai is not concerned with this kind of detailed content, he is concerned about the audience's acceptance of this kind of animation...... In terms of the final result, "A Girl Falls in Love with Her Sister" satisfied the audience's more alternative curiosity, and the final sales of this film, which did not have any outstanding production quality, easily approached the best-selling line (10,000 copies per volume).
It's also a low-density animation.,Compare from the aspects of action performance、Performance level、Picture quality and photography post-production technology, etc.,Generally speaking, "Flying Witch" is more advantageous than "Girl Falls in Love with Sister",Especially in the post-photography stage,Everyone's concept is different,"Witch" is how to do it now after ten years, although it is impossible to achieve the same effect due to limited funds and technology,But the concept is advanced。
But if you really compare the animation sales of the two, even if it's Gong Dai, there can't be any guarantees.
Of course, the two are not the same works, and "The Flying Witch" was officially broadcast the day after the release of "The Flying Witch".
On October 6th, "The Flying Witch" officially began to release the first physical disc, and its final episode, Episode 12, was completed last week......
Excellent works often have a characteristic, that is, after completing the broadcast of a season, it will make the audience feel "unfinished" at the end, and naturally begin to look forward to the announcement of the production plan for the second season.
"The Flying Witch" doesn't dare to say how much repercussions it caused, after all, it's an everyday thing, but this anime does make some viewers feel like that, and in that sense, this should be considered a successful original anime.
On this day, Mad Poihat, the office of the president of the palace.
The first volume of "The Flying Witch" went on sale this morning, and it's now approaching evening, so theoretically they can get their first rough real-time sales feedback in a few hours.
Gong Daisheng also had a slightly nervous feeling at this time, he wasn't worried about the negative effects caused by poor results, mainly because this was the first time he ran out to sell animation, and he was in the stage of "one life, two years of maturity".
"Are you worried that today's results won't meet your expectations?" Kayuko Suzuki asked at Miyayo Kana.
As the general affairs of the company, she was working overtime with the president at this time, and of course, this also shows that she is very concerned about the sales of the first volume.
In her opinion, although today's Gong Daisheng is far from the level of "restlessness", it is also different from him in ordinary times...... But it's no wonder that she thought about it, even people of her age are a little "not calm" today, let alone Gong Dai.
"I'm worried about what happens...... Although I think it's a small probability, it's not impossible. Miyadai replied.
His thoughts are "human nature", and the closer he gets to this moment, everyone will worry about what will happen...... What's more, the so-called "small probability event", which in turn means that it is more likely that the "flying witch" will sell well, these are just his subjective judgments, and there is no factual basis for judgment.
"The Seven Episodes of 'Zero Demon', which preceded our first volume, are said to have only sold 4,000 copies so far, and it's still an anime adapted from a popular light novel, and 'Witch' is an original anime." He added.
Compared with the Suzumiya Haruhi series, which became popular in April and continues to be popular, the reaction of July's "Zero Demon" seems to be flat in terms of sales...... It's all light novel adaptation animation.,It's a bit of a different life.。
"But I think Sokun is still more confident......" Suzuki smiled a little, but the smile was a little tight, "At least you have more confidence than the rest of us, otherwise you wouldn't have let Mai Iwami stay with the manufacturer." ”
Compared with the kind of rational stance of Gong Dai, I think the animation can be sold.,But this situation and this scene are inevitably in a state of some gain and loss.,Suzuki's group of talents are really bottomless.。
Just like the example he just gave, "Zero Demon" has a lot more blockbuster elements than "The Flying Witch", and because it is a popular light novel adaptation, it also has a good popularity base, but the sales results are not very satisfactory, and if you compare and judge it as a benchmark, it seems that it is difficult for "The Flying Witch" to recover its cost.
But Iwami, who is a producer, is staying at the production unit today, with the intention of dealing with emergencies at any time, and this "emergency" mainly refers to the "short supply" in sales - the first volume of "The Flying Witch" burned 3,000 discs, and the company generally believes that this number is relatively sufficient, as for the reproduction situation...... It shouldn't happen in the short term (or even forever).
So some people will think that Gong Dai's confidence is sufficient, but it's a pity that this confidence can't be infected by others.
So there will be people who think that he is too optimistic.
The wait time always seemed long, and by about ten o'clock in the evening, the non-24-hour brick-and-mortar stores were basically closed, and Mai Iwami, who had received an approximate result, finally called back.
"Hello? Rinka-senpai? ”
The call went to Miya's private mobile phone...... But no one cares about that kind of thing these days.
Iwami Mai said something on the other end of the phone, but Miyayo's expression didn't change much, which made Suzuki on the side unable to see anything from his expression.
"I see, just do what you say." The call between the two was very short, and Gong Daiyu hung up the phone almost without saying a few words.
"How did it turn out?" Without any pause, Suzuki immediately asked the question.
Gong Daiyu glanced at her carefully, and it could be seen that her expression was even more nervous, so he slowly stretched out two fingers...... He wasn't saying "yes," but it meant something like that.
"2,000 copies, rough statistics show that the first volume of the Flying Witch sold around 2,000 copies today, and the specific data may fluctuate, but ...... Sister Suzuki, probably the 'Flying Witch' has no problem recovering its costs. ”
If the number of volumes released in the future can maintain this momentum, then "The Flying Witch" can be said to have nothing to worry about...... Even though it's the weekend and sales of animated discs tend to plummet with the release time, this first volume really should be reprinted.
And the follow-up sales trend of the first volume of "The Witch" tends to be normal, which means that the judgment of Gong Daiyu has been confirmed:
"The Flying Witch" sold 3,715 copies in the first week, 5,630 in the second week, and a month later, it got 7,129 copies of the first generation...... It's no longer a question of cost recovery.
Considering that the sales of this kind of animation with a flat plot will not fluctuate to an outrageous extent per volume, it can basically be judged...... It's stable.
Further, if Mad Poihat is going to do the second season of The Flying Witch now, with the hot and even overheated situation driven by "Cool Palace", basically you can get the production funds by pulling an investor at random.
