427. Remain high

The success of the friend's account has set off a wave of discussion in both the industry and outside the industry.

For those fans who watch the animation, as long as it is not those veteran otaku, few people care which animation company produced the animation, who supervises it, what the company's registered capital is, what the scale is, and what kind of work has been produced before. The most they care about is whether the anime is good or not, who the voice actors are who are the main actors, and what the original work is, that's all.

Since a long time in the past, the phenomenon of animation driving the popularity and sales of the original work has objectively existed, but like Liang Yu, to a large extent, it has been regarded as complementary, and a large number of inherent fans who watched animation for Liang Yu's fame and comics drove another group of people who only watched animation and were suddenly interested in the original work.

But the animation has been broadcast to the third episode and the statistics have begun.,The sales of friends' bills have exceeded one million.,100,000 volumes more than in the past.,This sales.,Compared with the highest value of the chess soul in the past, it's just a little more than half.,It's even far from the average.,But the problem is.,This is a shoujo manga.,The average sales of the magazine Margaret it published is 450,000 copies.,And a fantasy magazine.,Sales are 3.7 million.,This is the result of the decline in sales since "Dragon Pig".

It can be said that although the sales of the friend account are not very popular compared to other shonen manga in the industry, the shoujo manga that surpassed it in sales is now only the cherry child's "Little Maruko".

Almost all forums, all anime fan groups have people talking about this manga, and popularity is something that will be superimposed and spread to each other. It is foreseeable that as the animation continues to be broadcast, the popularity of the friend account can further rise.

After talking about the outside of the industry. Let's talk about the industry.

Who is the beneficiary, there is no doubt that the little-known animation company Brainstorm has appeared in the public's field of vision because of the success of the animation "Friends' Account". Anime fans may not pay much attention to it, but other production companies, advertisers, and toy developers do.

It is difficult for an animation to recover its high production cost by relying on the sporadic income of the animation broadcast by the TV station. Then, the derivative benefits of peripheral products are where he really returns to his capital and even makes money. No capitalist is here to invest money for charity. Therefore, whether a work is popular or not, and how many people are willing to pay for it, determines how much development value and derivative value a work can have.

On the day of the start of the friend's account, Brainstorming Company produced Aoi's phone, whether it was a mobile phone or a landline in the company. It's all blown up. And when the friend account was firmly at the top of the list, the whole company cheered like crazy, and the fat director sat on the ground and cried: "I knew we would succeed!" It will definitely work! Long live the Friends Account! Long live the brainstorm, long live Mr. Yuliang! ”

And the peripherals driven by the animation, especially the sales of the original work, made Huang Yuan's smile smug and couldn't close his mouth.

"Hey, why is the editor-in-chief so happy lately, is it really because of the success of the friend's account?"

"More than that. Our magazine has already sold more than 60W, and he was heavily praised at the last meeting. No wonder I'm so happy. ”

As I said before, Huang Yuan's current position will not be able to rise in a few years, just add a little bonus and salary or something.

But even so, he was still very happy, and generously invited the staff of the editorial department to poke in the hotel, and the editor-in-chief and employees of "Ripon" next door were all kinds of envy and jealousy.

I heard that the animation of the friend's account was very popular, and the next day, there was a news report.

"Breaking news, the original work of the chess soul and the friend's account, Mr. Yuliang, cooperates with a well-known animated film director, and the new work will debut next spring!? 》

"Super talented girl, a popular cartoonist who spans comics, animation and film and television, is talented and beautiful, attracting a lot of popularity! 》

Originally, according to the director's idea, about the animation work of the film "Firefly Forest", I still planned to wait for a while, at least until December, when the sample of the film has almost come out, and the editing and other post-production are almost there, so get a trailer out, cooperate with the publicity, and want to come to the two-month publicity cycle after the Spring Festival.

However, now that I see that "Friends' Account" can be so popular, even the director can't sit down, there is no time, get in the car!

So I simply took out a few completed drafts, impression pictures, and sent them to start making news, not to mention, it really works, unlike LoveLive's style, the story of "Firefly Forest" is almost the same as "Friend's Account", and it's no wonder that fans reacted so violently.

Official blog. At that time, there was only a picture and a short introduction on the homepage, but in less than a day, more than 50,000 messages were received, and they were exploding at an uncontrollable pace, and everyone mentioned a name.

"Teacher Yuliang's new work!!"

"Highly anticipated, as long as it is the work of Mr. Yuliang, it will definitely be supported~"

Of course, some people are happy, and naturally some people will be disappointed, which is also inevitable, for example, Liang Yu won the first prize in the new episode in October, so that those who came with ambitions and spent a lot of money on the production of the production company vowed to take the first place in popularity.

"What the hell is brainstorming, have they done any famous works before?"

"Well, it looks like a miscellaneous company that did outsourcing to us before."

"Damn, that means we were killed by a third-rate animation company with an investment of no more than one million?" Investors glared angrily at the producers of the big companies.

"Uh...... After this work is finished, it will not be a third-rate miscellaneous company......"

It's top notch!

The animation industry is like this, you have a reputation, you have investors, you can quickly become bigger and stronger!

Of course, these are not really the most depressed, the most depressed is the Chiyo company that was also optimistic about Liang Yu and threw an olive branch to her. At that time, after the success of Lovelive's project, the head office specially asked its Moonfall Animation Branch to contact Liang Yu, and the result was that Liang Yu actually sold the copyright to another little-known small company.

At that time, this matter really made Director Jiang, who received Liang Yu and them, mixed up, and the responsibility was all pushed to Liang Yu and Margalilyn Magazine, but when the "Friend's Account" broke out later, Chiyo came back depressed and wanted to buy the surrounding development rights, and after asking, I learned from Huang Yuan that the moonfall company they had been looking for was the first to be found, and they didn't say anything for two hours, and they were treated unfairly, Huang Yuan hinted at them, Liang Yu was very angry, high school students, although they are in college now, But I'm only 17 years old.

Hey, you said that the copyright of "Friends' Account", uh, I can't call the shots about this, depending on what Mr. Yuliang meant, she said okay, no...... Then we can't help it, who made her popular, you see, even if it's such a little-known company, don't you send it, just a day to call to ask for a contract, to say the least, there are more than ten or twenty calls.

Uh, you ask why the script for the second season of LoveLive hasn't been good yet, this, you know?

As a result, after nodding and talking with Huang Yuan for a long time, the first thing that the person from Chiyo Company said to his secretary was, go, make an appointment for me to meet with the boss, and if you don't quit the stupid person in charge, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in Lao Tzu's heart!
