"So-kun, you're not in the same state as before, and you don't seem to have the idea or trend to start working on your next animation project right away?" Iwami Mai asked to Miyadai So.

As time goes by, for a high school graduate like Gong Daijuan, the pressure of schoolwork and study should be getting heavier and heavier, but his state is just the opposite, but he is leaving school to stay in the company more and more.

After all, you can't think of him as an ordinary high school student.

"Mainly because Mad Poihat is facing a different situation now, the results of the 'Flying Witch' have made our situation much better, and in fact...... 'Witch''s results have won us more 'development rights'." Gong Daiyu said as he looked through the documents in his hand.

This has to be considered a "two-step walk", the previous "Black Rock Shooter" solved the problem of Mad Poihat's survival, and the "Flying Witch" won it more opportunities to develop and choose.

The success of the original animation "The Flying Witch" has brought Mad Poihat into the field of vision of many investors.

Now what Miyadai is looking at is also some copyright agreement about "The Flying Witch". After doing well in the disc market, Iwami sold some of the merchandise rights to a local toy manufacturer, who would sell mainly figurines...... Selling this kind of peripheral rights is not a difficult thing to do.

There are some problems with "hierarchical symmetry", and the high-quality peripheral resources brought by the extremely popular animation, such as will bring unimaginable benefits, but they will definitely only fall into the hands of that kind of large-scale manufacturer, which is undoubted.

And small and medium-sized manufacturers do not have much choice, in layman's terms, they can only "drink soup". As for animations like "The Flying Witch", it's already a resource worth fighting for.,So selling one and buying one is a matter of what you and I want.。

The main content of this copyright transfer document is that for every plastic figurine sold by the other party, the "production committee" will get 7% of the profits, and then the 7% will be divided equally between Mad Poihat and the co-investor Aniplex.

Of course, considering the specific situation of the "Flying Witch", Mad Poihat was not strong when negotiating this ratio with the toy manufacturers, because no matter how you compare, the profit of the "Flying Witch" in the peripheral market is not comparable compared to the revenue on the disc.

"Judging from the sales of the first volume, there is no possibility of losing money in 'The Flying Witch', and judging by some of the reactions, it always feels as if we are leading the 'trend of the times'......" Iwami Mai is not feeling good about herself, on the contrary, she is very sensible that some of the comments seem to be overdone to Mad Poihat.

"Leading the trend of the times...... That's what Kyoto Animation is doing next door, but other animation companies should have noticed our more detailed use of graphics techniques as long as they weren't stupid, and it's hard to say that we'll be 'copied' later, but at least most companies will use similar graphics in the future. Miyadai said.

He knew it wasn't because of how ahead Mad Poihat was, but because the industry would have followed that trajectory in the first place.

"The only problem is that it seems that we have a very bad nickname, and many people on 2hc call Mad Poihat 'Stockings Club', and I feel that this sets a very bad direction for the company." The senior sister said again, she didn't seem to like this kind of title very much.

"Although this is unexpected, it should be generally a good thing to have such a title, which at least shows that we have left a deep impression on a part of the audience through an animation...... For an animation company, being remembered is something you can't hope for. Gong Daisang first tried to explain from a rational direction that he would never have imagined that he would be called the "Stockings Society" before, but as he said, the audience is willing to bother to give you a nickname, and this kind of behavior itself is still more meaningful.

"But the 'Stockings Club'...... There's nothing wrong with that, we're a two-person company, and 'stockings' illustrate the part that the senior sister is responsible for. ”

“……”

Iwami didn't understand that there was also the gender issue in the company's composition, "Well, it doesn't matter what it's called, at least after the 'Flying Witch' was played, the number of page views on the company's website has increased several times compared to the past, so ...... You're right, it's always good to have an audience paying attention to us. ”

"The Flying Witch can basically be considered a success, and it has achieved results that we didn't expect before......"

"But compared to 'The Flying Witch', now I have a little suspicion that IS chose to play in October is not a good time, works like the rebellious Lelouch and Death Note are too strong, and it feels like we don't have much attention, and we probably don't have much room to survive when the disc is released in the future."

Iwami judged that although IS is not the same genre as other works, if the "funds" in the wallet are limited and you can only buy one disc at the same time, then these works will naturally constitute competition.

This is actually a very normal phenomenon, and after the "flying witch" doesn't need to worry about the senior sister, she starts to worry about IS again.

"I do feel that way, but we're going to have to bite the bullet at this point." Gong Daiyu said in agreement, but in fact, he would do it again if he did it again, he had his own considerations...... He hopes that Mad Poihat will be able to make a name for himself in this year of "good works", after all, it is the audience impression won in high-quality battles that proves the strength of a company.

Standing out from the crowd is not as good as "standing out from the crowd"...... If you can really show your own characteristics, so Miyadai is looking forward to IS.

Mai Iwami nodded at Miyadai's statement, and now with the expected income of the "Flying Witch" as a foundation, even if IS unfortunately loses money later, then Mad Poihat can bear it...... When making money, the part taken by the "production committee" always has a feeling of "cutting meat", but there are always two sides to things, and its role is reflected when you lose money.

IS has a production budget of 250 million yuan, and if Mad Poihat is allowed to resist this money, the risk caused by the loss is difficult to bear, so in essence, "risk and benefit sharing" is an excellent way, but gradually the animation company that is the main producer is excluded from financial participation.

In fact, Mad Poihat's investment of 100 million in IS is quite exaggerated, and from a third perspective, it seems that the company is blindly confident in its own work.

Considering the financial situation of Mad Poihat at this time, it is not so much that they are "very bold" in terms of capital investment, but that the people who make this decision are too "lacking......

The "gambling nature" is too big.

At this time, IS has already played two episodes, and although many things are the same as those carried over from the side of "The Flying Witch", so far, its topicality seems to have been overshadowed by the popular Shueisha manga anime "Death Note" and the original anime "Rebel Lelouch" with a particularly unique style (character design), and it did not make any waves.

Therefore, Iwami's worries are not unreasonable and more rational.
