Chapter 108: Poor?
After a complex negotiation, the animation project for "Little Forest" was finalized:
The Aomori Business Federation, Aomori Broadcasting, Aomori Prefectural Tourism Bureau, and Kawakaku Pictures jointly funded 300 million yen to form the "Kobayashi Production Committee", and the animation project was produced by the animation company Mad Poihat.Works, and the animation film was divided into two parts, with a total screen length of 160 minutes.
Mad Poihat is in charge of the creation and production part, and the copyright of the work is exclusively owned by the production committee.
As far as Mad Poihat's first animated film is concerned, this is a big investment, but in fact, Miyadai is still a bit "lacking in people's hearts...... Originally, he expected to produce 120 to 150 minutes of animated films with a total length of 4 to 5 hours, but now the total production time is less than 3 hours.
His idea can basically be realized by relying on the wronged, but in reality, this kind of wronged leader is rare...... On the premise of ensuring the quality of production, the stretching of the total length of time means an increase in the total investment, and the increase in the total investment means an increase in risk. 300 million yen has been the result of negotiations for a long time, and if you want them to invest more, it will be tantamount to "cutting meat".
Moreover, Mad Poihat, as the contractor, does not have the right to advise in this regard, so when the developer wants to decide how much land to buy, how can the contractor have the right to interject?
Miyadai can only adjust the composition of the story of the small forest according to this production time, instead of asking the production committee how long the animation must be based on the content of the story...... The latter is so unrealistic, you can't even share the copyright, so what's the bb?
Originally, according to the idea of Miyadai and Iwami Mai, they planned to symbolically invest some money in the small forest, because it was a work made by their own hands, and they were actually quite willing to do so...... If you take up a little space in the production committee, it will be equivalent to making your own work instead of working part-time, and at least your mood will be different.
However, this kind of thing was rejected by other parties, and they agreed that Mad Poihat only had to be responsible for the animation and that the funders didn't need to think about it...... Miyayo felt that this refusal might be motivated by more normalized budget control.
The production committee will definitely send a producer to Mad Poihat for the Little Forest project, and this producer will become the overall head of the film project.
Iwami will make a handover of work to the other party, and then she will "retire with success".
And once Mad Poihat participates in the funding, then it makes sense for Iwami to continue to be the general manager of the project, after all, she is in charge of the preparatory stage.
And once she takes on such a general responsibility, will she be more accountable to the production committee of the funder, or will she be more responsible to the Mad Poihat of the producer?
It was obvious that it was Mad Poihat, and the production committee was not a relative of her family.
Furthermore, if she turns a blind eye to Mad Poihat's "graphic pursuit" during the production process, she will inevitably overspend.
When spending other people's money, some animation companies will always be obsessed with "artistic pursuit", how can they produce picture effects without burning money? Anyway, it's not your own money that is burned, is there anything more enjoyable than "taking other people's money to enjoy it"?
So out of the problem of trust, the production committee simply replaced it with its own people who were "iron-faced and selfless...... But there's nothing unreasonable about that, after all, whoever pays has the final say.
Of course, there is also a reason that even if Mad Poihat pays for it, he is not prepared to invest too much money in the small forest, otherwise they would not be rejected so completely...... Others don't look down on those three melons and two dates, and they still occupy the position of the production committee for no reason, and there is the possibility of entanglement, which is the key to rejection.
In the project arrangement made by the production committee, the upper part of the small forest "Summer and Autumn Chapter" was roughly decided to be broadcast in the winter of '07, so it should start working on it immediately. Luckily, Mad Poihat has already made a lot of preparations, and an important position like a show will be in place quickly.
They can basically start working right away.
The core personnel responsible for the production of this animated film are the production team that produced "The Flying Witch", and this resource crowding has led to the fact that although the "Witch" is up to the standard of producing the second season, it is obviously impossible to produce it immediately.
As for the production of the second group, there is no doubt that they must continue to produce the second phase of IS...... To be honest, Gong Daika thinks that IS should be thrown away after finishing one issue, after all, although the story of the first issue seems a little painful in some places, but compared to the second issue...... The first issue is indeed "very strong" literary.
But if you do this, you can't explain it to the funders.,So it still has to do the second season.,But Gong Daiyu himself has given up continuing to do the storybook and screenwriter of the second season.,Anyway, the original work is bad enough.,He doesn't want to bother anymore.,It's better to ask someone to rewrite it next year on the basis of the first issue.,Maybe there will be a situation where rotten peaches sprout.。
As for the choice of voice actors in Little Forest...... To put it nicely, Superintendent Yukiko Ryugen has the right to make suggestions, but the reality is that the production committee will give who to choose, so Mad Poihat will have to use whoever he wants, and there is nothing to say about this.
…………
"It's a little bit bad." Mai Iwami said to Miyadai Kana, and at this time the two were calculating the earnings of Mad Poihat in '06.
"Senior sister, I also think it's a little bad...... The question is how do you spend this money? Miyadai said.
It's not that they think Mad Poihat is making less, but it's a little more...... If the expected earnings of IS are also calculated in FY06, then the annual profit of this small animation company is about 7 to 1 billion yen, which is more than 50 million yuan when converted into RMB.
However, the problem is that they cannot get such a "huge amount of money", and something called the "state apparatus" is holding them back.
There was once a wise saying from an old American named Benjamin Franklin - "In this world, only taxes and death are inevitable."
That's the fucking truth.
So Mad Poihat had to pay taxes, and the tax rate was ...... Whoever says that number has to be foamed with blood.
Half of the money earned is given to the Sun Flag, who can stand this?
And there is only one way to avoid "vampires" from sucking blood...... Reinvest.
That is, Miyadai and Iwami Mai must spend this money quickly, whether it is to get married, invite the whole city to eat a flowing water mat or go to the countryside to buy land, it is okay.
It's sad to think about spending money like this, after all, you have to spend it reasonably...... Otherwise, you can throw it at the small forest, right?
After thinking about it, Gong Daiyu said, "Senior sister, I have an idea...... I'm going to buy an animation company or animation studio in China, so that it can take over the downstream work of Mad Poihat, and at the same time, the production quality of many of Mad Poihat's outsourcing links can be stabilized. ”
Gong Daiju had mentioned this matter to her senior sister before, so she was not surprised, after all, this was a very good idea, and it was not a novelty...... Many animation companies have a similar approach, and they will even spin off some of themselves and set up new companies to do the downstream links.
If these tasks are completed in China, they can also save some labor costs...... As for the quality, there is nothing to worry about this, and now many of Mad Poihat's animation links are handed over to China to do.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that, is it going to be an acquisition in the name of Mad Poihat?" She asked.
"No, I'm going to do it in my personal capacity."
“……”
Hey, I don't know why the senior sister suddenly has such a feeling of being excluded.
"The reason should not be difficult to understand," Miyadai continued to explain, "In terms of development trends, our domestic animation market and audience size will gradually grow in the future, and the downstream acquisition company may also get good development opportunities in the future, so I hope it can maintain the 'sinicization' of capital composition." ”
"Our people...... Is it understandable that companies made up of Chinese capital are often willing to give greater support? ”
To put it simply, he is nothing more than expressing the issue of "national enterprises" and "foreign-funded enterprises", if this is funded by Gong Daizhuo, then the acquired company or studio is still a "national enterprise", but if Mad Poihat pays for it, then it will become a foreign-funded enterprise.
What's more, it's still a "Japanese-funded enterprise"?
As soon as I said this, I understood, although there were some emotional things at the national level, and the palace did not say it too thoroughly.
"But ......"
"What?"
"It's not impossible to do something like this in the name of Mad Poihat, it's just ...... Unless the senior sister is willing to change to Chinese nationality. ”
“…… Why did I change my Chinese nationality for no reason? ”
What is this called? What kind of face does a person who doesn't even have a confession have to say such things?
Judging from Iwami's expression, it was difficult to tell whether she was blushing or angry when she said this.
But now there is one word to describe people like Gong Daisuo, such as......
Die to shame?
Dead skin?
Shameless?
These are all possible.
