Chapter 114: The Times Are Calling

Miyadai's jokes are still "point-to-point", or he is always quite sideways when he talks about these things, in order to illustrate two points: first, there are certain characteristics in her; Second, he doesn't hate ...... Or rather, I like these traits.

Of course, this is not to say that he has to go through a few jokes in his head several times, in fact, he is not the kind of person who has to calculate everything, it is too tiring...... It's just that his actions or words will always involuntarily carry these so-called "logic".

After a few small talks, he began to talk about "business".

"What do you mean by that we have to take the initiative to get the copyright? Instead of waiting for the other party to have the intention of making an animation, then strive for that kind of project? ”

What he just talked about is not difficult to understand, but Iwami is comparing the feasibility of the two approaches.

"At this point in time, we should also keep up with the trend of the times, but I prefer to take the initiative rather than strive for planning, the former is too passive, and our competitiveness is not dominant." Miyadai said.

What the two are talking about now, as well as "keeping up with the trend of the times" in Gong Dai's mouth, can be summed up in one sentence...... Mad Poihat should also be animated.

That's the trend in the industry. Even in terms of the source of funding for the production of animation, the publishing house has become the main goal, although the main purpose of the publishing house is to promote the work in the form of animation.

And the quality of light novels at this time is different from the situation after six or seven years, high-quality boutiques do exist, even if they are not boutiques, generally speaking, most light novels are still "substantial" - the one who "carries forward" light novels is Chuanjiao Bookstore; Similarly, it is also the Kawakaku Bookstore that makes light novels more and more playful, but at least it is still in the stage of carrying forward.

Therefore, in terms of the quality of the story, the current light animation will never reach the stage where people directly understand the word "garbage" when they see these four words.

"It's true that it's a good practice to take the initiative, but if it's a high-quality, high-sales light novel that is valued by the publisher, then it should be difficult for us to get the animation copyright, because this kind of work doesn't matter if the publisher has an animation plan at present, but they will still have an animation plan after that, even if we have a move first, it won't necessarily break the pace of the other party......"

"Well, but if you try to do it early, you'll always encounter a 'chance first' situation.,Even if we promise to invest money in animation projects.,The tendency of the publisher will be a little off.,After all, the 'Suzumiya Kasuga Series' kind of profit-making scale project,It's essentially more like an accident.。 Miyadai said.

There is some truth in what he said, and the first purpose of publishing houses at this stage to fund the production of light animation is not to make money by selling DVDs, but to promote the novel through animation, expand popularity, and then increase the sales of single volumes of light novels.

For publishers, the publicity of animation takes far precedence over profitability. Judging by this line of thinking, if the animation company itself is willing to share the funds when producing such a "promotional video", it will be beneficial to the publisher most of the time.

Unless the publisher can make a judgment in advance that "this lightly adapted animation will sell well", however, this is very difficult, and the popularity of the novel and the popularity of the animation will naturally convert to each other, but it cannot be said that the popularity of the novel is high, and the animation will sell well.

However, animation companies are more in the production and rarely contribute, note that most animation companies do not have so much spare money, and they cannot afford the risk of investment failure if they have money.

The same is true for publishers, who do not contribute to the animation project alone, but also set up a production committee to co-fund it...... Today, it's good to have a single head to bear all the losses after the animation fails, and there is no problem with the animation company participating in the production committee in all the minor renovation projects.

This is the commonality of Miyashiro and Iwami's ideas: even if they do a light animation, then they tend to contribute to the production committee, which is a continuation of their production style last year.

Or this is the style of Mad Poihat, after all, they have long understood the difference between part-time work and participation in funding.

Look at the original Black Rock shooter, even if the production budget is sufficient, but with the premise of ensuring the quality of the picture, Mad Poihat will not be profitable at all. Compare it to IS, if IS's situation is the same as that of Black Rock, then they can only stare at the profits that belong to others.

In the final analysis, in a larger sense, the distribution of profits is determined by the distribution of capital, but by creation or creativity.

"I can understand this, but the difficulty of obtaining the copyright directly depends on the specific work, so ...... Having said all that, does Sokun have a specific goal? Iwami asked, trying to get the animation rights from the publisher or other copyright holders, and whether it can be successful depends on what the intentions of both parties are, but before that, Mad Poihat needs to decide which work to make.

"This is natural," Miyadai said as she flipped through the notebook she held in her hand, flipped it to a certain page, and handed it to Iwami Mai...... Since this aspect has been mentioned, he must have already determined what kind of animation copyright he was going to "start" on.

Iwami glanced at the lines on it, and then said, "It's a bit much......, isn't it?" Numerous and scattered. ”

"Not really, after all, we are about to have three production teams, and these are the next production plans...... And we don't have to get these copyrights so quickly, and we always have to take into account the possibility of failure, so we naturally have more goals to choose from. ”

"As for 'dispersion,' it's undeniable."

On the page of Miyadai's notebook are the titles of the three works, and the copyright of their original works belongs to the three units:

Dengeki Bunko, Dragon and Tiger.

Kodansha BOX, Monogatari series.

TYPE-MOON, THE REALM OF EMPTINESS.

This Dragon and Tiger is a typical light novel, as for the last two...... I have to say that although because of status and social status, although many writers like to advertise themselves as traditional serious writers, what they write is indeed in the style of light novels, even if there are no illustrations.

The problem is that Miyadai seems to be casting a net to catch fish, and the three works come from three companies, and the denoki library belongs to the Kawakaku Bookstore; Kodansha BOX naturally belongs to Kodansha, as for the type month...... It's just a word adventure game.
