Chapter 47: A Man Named Natsume
In order to ensure the legitimacy and the rights and interests of participants, this kind of matter involving capital and equity changes must ultimately be implemented in normative documents. Needless to say, Mad Poihat as a whole began to transition from a commissary to a two-person shop.
And the reason why Miyadai Kanaku mentioned this matter to Iwami Mai Rinka at this time was not a whim, some reason prompted him to do so, as far as his heart was concerned, he actually wanted to mention it after a while and wait for Kuroiwa's animation to play.
After increasing the time spent together, the degree of familiarity, and seeing the finished animation that was really made, it was easier for Miyadai to convince the other party...... Mai Iwami agreed to join Mad Poihat, which was naturally the best outcome, but what if she refused before?
Therefore, the invitation of Gong Daisheng is still risky.
Before the summer vacation begins, he needs to go to Tokyo to discuss with Aniplex about the "Flying Witch" animation project, and in order to increase the convincing power of this project, Miyadai still hopes to have tens of millions in his hands.
The private money of the senior sister is beneficial to the project, especially at this stage of initial financial preparation, this benefit is even more prominent.
Miyashiro hopes that his trip to Tokyo will have a positive outcome, and that the Flying Witch will eventually be shown with the "Aniplex" logo and the sound effect of "Love You Durex" at the beginning of the film.
In terms of capital operation, after getting the "start-up capital", hooking up with other capital can naturally increase the possibility of success, and the current animation project is no exception.
After preparing the things to bring, according to the time agreed with the other party, the palace substitute went to Tokyo again in the early morning of a weekend.
Compared with the last time Kayuko Suzuki stepped on the spot in advance and his peers, this time he went to Tokyo alone...... But this doesn't make a difference to people like him, and he doesn't have any problems doing this kind of thing alone.
His mode of transportation is still the Shinkansen...... In fact, in terms of price and speed, low-cost airlines are more suitable for him, but for various reasons, Miyadai never wants to touch such a thing as an airplane unless it is absolutely necessary.
The Shinkansen is expensive, and the good thing is that you can see the scenery along the way.
cherry blossoms, sake, Mt. Fuji;
Samurai, Shogun, Tokyo Bay;
actresses, **, custom shops;
Hot springs, kimonos、...... Ahem, when it comes to the general impression left by the island country, it is always easy to deviate to certain places.
The temperature has risen during this trip, and it is quite hot in Tokyo.
…………
4-5 Rokubancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, where Aniplex is located.
Compared with the "duality" of Mad Poihat's equity at this time, Aniplex, which has a big family, is naturally different...... Or that Gong Dai's side is very pediatric.
Aniplex is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment, which in turn belongs to the Sony Music Group, and in May this past year, Aniplex invested in the establishment of an animation company called "A-1 Pictures" to officially take root in the industry...... It's the A1 that was "animated by A1".
Unlike poor people like Mad Poihat, A-1 has no shortage of projects or money, and it is an animation company that has a father from birth...... Well, although it is true, how awkward this sentence sounds. Some animation companies can take more than 15 years from the establishment to the production work, but after the establishment of A-1, you can create an original work with a little team.
Miyadai, who carries a cheat, can't compare to an opponent with money stuffed in his pocket.
When Miyadai came to Tokyo, he naturally went straight to this side, and after identifying himself, he was taken to a conference room.
After waiting for a while, Gong Daizu was received by a "big man" a little unexpectedly.
This is a character who has a deep relationship with a work called "Natsume's Friend's Account" that is being serialized in the monthly manga magazine "LaLa", and his name is Kyoichiro Natsume.
Although this relationship happens "later"...... At this time, Natsume may not be so famous, but in the future, he will become one of the most famous animation projects, and there are countless animation projects initiated by this hand, from Natsume to My Sister to Moyuan to F/Z to Sword Art Online, Unheard of Flower Names, KILL la KILL...... I have money in my pocket, so I can call it vigorous.
Now this Natsume appeared in front of Miyadai's eyes...... At this time, Aniplex did not have the level of mass production animation projects every year in the future, and their participation was still cautious and limited, which should be the reason why Miyashiro was able to meet the general manager like the other party.
And further, to be able to see such a person, Gong Dai's heart is relatively scored.
"Hello, Mr. Gong, and welcome to Aniplex." Kyoichiro Natsume got straight to the point, "We've already studied your animation project, and in terms of storytelling, graphic expression, and selling points, there are basically no problems. ”
Of course, in addition to the above reasons, there is also a point that may be due to the fact that the palace did not ask for too much production cost, so the other party gave a more positive and positive answer at the beginning...... The overall production cost of the Flying Witch is only 100 million yen, and Miyashiro only wants to get 50 million yen from Aniplex, which is no longer a problem for the company.
The Flying Witch is the season of the twelve-word episode, and its production budget is lower than that of the Black Rock shooter who only has six episodes and 12 minutes per episode, and the most critical reason is:
The Flying Witch is a daily fan, and the black rock is a battle fan.
And the positioning of the two is different, the main purpose of Black Rock is "publicity", so in order to pursue a delicate picture, it is natural to burn some money; The Flying Witch, on the other hand, is an experimental commercial animation based on the principle of "making the best-selling work with minimal budget".
Cost savings are the benchmark for commercial animation.
"But first, the problem is...... Can you guarantee that kind of local photography processing method in terms of technology? ”
The main selling point of the Flying Witch is that she sells black silk, but if Mad Poihat can't make those stockings, then all this is not empty talk...... At least before this animation project, Natsume had never seen this kind of picture processing.
"There's no technical problem, and the main reason why the industry doesn't have this way is because of the concept, if Aniplex can decide on funding and have doubts about our production level, we can make a 10-15 second clip to verify it." Miyadai said. Seeing is believing, and if you have doubts, prove it, it's simple.
Natsume nodded, and the statement he got here was that there should be no problem with this way of making.
"I see, let's talk about another issue, Mr. Gong is the president of the animation company Mad Poihat.Works...... And "If I'm not mistaken, your name is also written in the supervision column of this animation project?"
After confirming that there are no problems with the technical premise, then the person who will supervise the project will really become an option to hinder the project.
