Chapter 150: Waves?

"Large-scale release also means large-scale publicity, which will sharply increase the cost of publicity and distribution of the film, so it is impossible to apply to the situation of Xiaolin...... In general, Mad Poihat is only the producer of the animation in this project, and the publicity and distribution is not something we can care about, and without making a fund, he is not qualified to exercise any authority in the production committee. Gong Daika spread his hands and concluded.

"Although the cause of this project was Aomori, there is no doubt that we played a considerable role in the formation process...... "Iwami Mai glanced at Miyayo Kana, and the correct statement should actually be that it is "crucial", "and in terms of the result, we are outsiders except for the production work...... So do you still understand that it became a training for our production ability to put in such an effort? ”

"That can't be said, we've made a lot of money for production." Gong Daiyu smiled and defended, the actual meaning of this matter is indeed the same as what Iwami Mai said, spending other people's money to train his own team.

Of course, this is just the perspective of Miyadai Soga's side, and on the other hand, from the production committee's side, Mad Poihat is just a worker who has no right to speak.

In this way, both sides can be regarded as taking what they need.

"Black Rock Shooter's way of earning production costs?" Iwami Mai asked rhetorically.

"I think it's a little better than it was back then, and our cost control methods are a little more mature, after all, Mad Poihat has some production experience."

"But it's one thing to evolve in this area, after all, now we want not only to survive, but also to develop." He added.

If it has always been an animation company that only pays for production, it will seem that it has been oppressed by the evil capitalists of the production committee for a long time, and the profits will be too limited, so the company itself will not be able to further expand its scale, capabilities, and technology.

"Speaking of which, after the screening of IS started in October, the reaction seemed to be a little too flat, although last year because of the strong suppression of Lelouch's animation, IS was also inconspicuous during the broadcast, but this year's animation industry is a bit less turbulent than last year, in this case, the poor response of IS should be regarded as a bad sign...... After all, if you look at the average sales of 40,000 volumes in the first season, the response to its second season should not be like this. After talking about the issue of profitability, Iwami Mai suddenly remembered IS, which had already started broadcasting the second season.

"Aesthetic fatigue...... Bar, although this statement is very inaccurate, let's not talk about the problem of whether the script of the second season of IS is routine or not, in fact, the story and screenwriting level have declined again, and the advantages of some pictures are not new compared to last year, let alone amazing, after all, the harem is a harem, and it is not strange that the second issue has a poor response. Gong Dai said after thinking about it.

"However, even if it can't be compared with the first season, I estimate that the second season of IS is still good in terms of sales data alone."

In terms of input and output, the second season of IS is still profitable, but the proportion cannot be compared with last year, and it is possible that even lazy and truncated in terms of sales, after all, IS's story mode is too simple and crude, and "not delicate" is also a fatal flaw for the harem and harem.

And compared to last year's first-of-its-kind way of selling stockings by Mad Poihat, this year's practice is not new, and the industry is still learning at an astonishing rate for the production method that can see the results of sales.

After this year, although the sale of stockings cannot be said to be overflowing, it has indeed been rolled out...... After all, the production difficulty and technical premise of drawing black silk are not high, at least this is not a threshold for most animation companies.

Miyadai has a relatively clear understanding of IS, in a sense, it is just an initial tool for Mad Poihat, and it is enough to collect a handful, and no one expects it to break out again.

But for the investors of the production committee, even if they don't expect any sales explosion in the second season of IS, they at least hope to achieve the word "maintain", but unfortunately they are going to be disappointed.

By the end of December, when the first volume of the second issue of IS was released, this was quite clear...... At present, the sales of the first volume barely exceed 20,000, and in the final result, the sales of the entire second issue are only 19,000.

It's still a best-selling anime, but it's down too much compared to the first issue, and it's hard to make investors want to invest in its third season in terms of the percentage of decline and the psychological gap caused by this ratio...... Judging by the sales of the second phase, this animation project can still be carried out.

The problem was that the sales of the second phase did not meet the expectations of the production committee, and this disappointment probably caused the project to break down.

The surprise brought by the explosion of sales in the first phase has long been diluted, and after this time, that feeling will completely disappear.

…………

In general, this year's animation market is less turbulent than last year, and Mad Poihat is even more flat, and their work for the audience this year is only the second issue of this October IS, and the overall sales are also generated by IS, which is far less explosive than last year.

Although Mad Poihat actually made a TV anime and an animated movie this year, the release of the movie has already become a matter of next year.

But this is also something that can't be helped.,The production cycle of animation is like this.,You can make a movie or TV series in three months.,But you can't make a season of TV animation.。

As for "Little Forest", after the production committee saw the samples, they were generally satisfied, so this half of the delivery was completed.

Because it doesn't have a large-scale publicity plan, relatively speaking, the publicity is still more intensive in the "local" Aomori area, plus the rough schedule has been arranged in advance, so the release of the first half is still relatively fast, and it is scheduled for March next year.

The second half is in December next year, but in terms of production, the small forest has been roughly completed by the end of this year, and it will be completely completed at the beginning of next year.

After a year of "inaction...... At least in the sales market, in the turn of the year, Mad Poihat will start to make big moves again.

In terms of TV animation, there are pathfinders for cute animations, and there are works of depression that shoulder the mission of "breaking the wall".
