Chapter 163: Standing Out?
"So, the result is that investors slam their noses with us?" After yesterday's meeting, most of the final results were in accordance with the wishes of the original author, which is also the result that Mad Poihat hoped to see, so Iwami Mai had this statement. Books.com
Obviously, some of the actions of the management are unpopular with uniformity for the animation company.
"That cannot be said, first of all, the result of the matter should be expressed as the resolution of some differences under a unified position, and everyone's goal is to make the final result of the work better, and secondly, it cannot be said that we have slammed our nose here, in essence, we have only accepted the ideas and suggestions of the original author...... Senior, it is very important to be calm, we do not have an aggressive attitude towards investors. Miyadai explained, his expression smiling, and his demeanor seemed sincere enough, as if he was telling the truth.
"Do you believe this yourself?" Iwami Mai glanced at him and said.
"Why don't you believe it? Even if this description is a little exaggerated, in fact, our attitude is like this, eight or nine are not far from ten. ”
“……”
This kind of upright remarks and unself-aware attitude after the pit is finished is also worthy of admiration.
"There is still a gap in the understanding of the division of work between the two sides, which is really troublesome, and our production committee is indeed different from theirs." Senior sister said again.
The "our" in her mouth is naturally the production committees based on the investment of the TV station that she can actually act as the person in charge as a producer, but if you really want to say it, the kind of production committee she likes is "deformed", and the ones that are a little disgusted are normal.
"This is a cooperation that has to be carried out, and the uncontrolled nature of the financiers is the same in all walks of life," Miyadai Kano saw very clearly, although his behavior under the premise of this "understanding" also seemed to be very weak, "but after this year, even if this kind of cooperation is carried out, we should be in a better position." ”
He still hopes that Mad Poihat, as the producer, can have more say in the production committee, and try to get closer to the direction of leading the project...... Of course, this is not unreasonable, his expectation is on the premise that the animation company also invests in the project.
"This year? How confident are you about the commercial success of our work this year...... Except for small forests. Iwami asked, she could understand the expectation, but the expectation was one thing, the effort and the goal were one thing, and the final result was another.
The way animation companies can increase their persuasiveness is nothing more than self-proofing, and to further prove their profitability to funders, they can naturally get a more relaxed production process and a heavier voice.
"Although I haven't studied the total duration carefully,But judging from the animation planning that has been announced、Judging from the broadcast schedule,The number of TV animations for the whole year has crossed the 150 mark,It's moving towards 200,And if you roughly analyze it,It's basically certain that our new work may be able to achieve high results in it.,Whether it's in sales.,It's also in the topic.。 Miyadai said.
"So how is this decided?"
"Uh...... Gut feeling? Miyadai gave a simple and somewhat perfunctory answer.
This is a joke, in fact, they have discussed this topic more than once before, and it is reasonable to say that this expectation is based on the realm of emptiness, and with the influence of its original game and its fan base, Mad Poihat can expect certain results.
From the perspective of the industry situation, the overall number of animations produced every year has shown a gradual upward trend, and the same is true for the scale of profits, but only in disc sales, the trend of the latter is not as obvious as the former, which means that the animations that should lose money are still losing money.
There are still a few animation companies that can "make a lot of money", and the animation themes that can make a profit and are liked by the audience are still obvious to all, so even if they get together again, the survival form of animation companies is like that.
Leaving aside the anime that Mad Poihat is preparing to play, the large number of remaining works can be seen at the ceiling of this year's disc sales, and it is not surprising that it should be the clannad after story of "Kyoto Animation".
And if you look at its sales in the first season, the second season should be lower, Clannad is a gal anime, according to the first season, there will be a large number of characters leaving in the second season, so even if the story essence is in the second season, the character chef will definitely buy it, and viewers similar to Zhidai fan will not be able to fight anymore after buying the "Zhidai chapter".
Not to mention the question of "freshness".
So in the second season of clannad, sales will be suppressed below 30,000.
In addition, there are also "Wolf and Spices" and "Natsume's Friend's Account" such as "Wolf and Spices" and "Natsume's Friends" with a niche style, stable and strong "Yixiang" animation, which is the kind of animation that can sell well, but is unlikely to sell well, and they will be very much in line with the taste of some people.
Most representative of "Natsume", its first three seasons stood at the 10,000 line, neither rising nor falling, as stable as an old dog - until the audience began to reduce the "aesthetic fatigue", marginal effect and expectation of this work.
In terms of subject trends, Lori animations like "Today's 5 Years and 2 Classes" are starting to exert force, but unfortunately it may face the suppression of "strawberry marshmallows".
Another example is "Black Butler", "Hidden King", if this is further forward, it should be "the world's first first love", and there will be more and more female-oriented works that cannot be classified as "girl animation", which is also very understandable, in terms of spending power and purchasing power, a rotten girl can completely blow up ten otaku.
Hunting works that are destined to not sell well, such as "Corpse Hime-He" and "Soul Eater-Zero", even if the quality of the animation adaptation is as good as the original, the response is still flat - even if it is the later "Tokyo Mew Species", it should still hit the street.
After someone changed jobs, the challenge of "Kaminagi", which is famous for "Suzumiya", is Mad Poihat's same "Suzumiya" work "Angel Beats", both of which are often seen as following the trend, but there is also the question of who follows the trend better.
In addition, there is a "TO Love" harem animation that can't be shaken.,And the beginning of a more obvious、Clear deflection to the otaku hobby "Nogizaka Haruka's secret" - excellent character and learning.、A girl who excels in her qualifications.,Behind the scenes, it's a hidden house that likes animation or the same people and likes the mediocre male protagonist setting.,It's no different from the core content of the sister who ran to my brother's room in the middle of the night to "talk about life".
The production of "Tears of Truth", the real performance method, the special photographic processing technique, and the bright picture processing style, in addition to the story composition of Youth Story, are similar to the Mad Poihat style to a certain extent.
Photography, partial photography, and even other post-processing techniques have become a part of everyone's attention.
In this environment, the Bone Society seems to be still "insisting on itself", and has forcibly adapted magical comics like "Soul Eater" into combat animations, and has shown off his drawing ability to others.
And Mad Poihat's work this year, maybe there will inevitably be some problems in the production process, but it is already a sure thing to play or screen on time, and if you consider the quality of this year's animation, it is time to show off.
It has to prove that after nine years of compulsory education, it is time to be frightened.
