The popularity of Sailor Moon made Kotono Miishi popular.

At the same time, the CV of the heroine of the "Onmyoji" anime, Yuki Ling, is also Kotono Miishi.

It can be said that this year, which began in January and lasted until April, and perhaps for a longer time, it was all the world of Miishi Kotono.

Although there was no voice actor award this year, it was enough to make Miishi Kotono's name popular all over the country.

Mitsushi Kotono's film appointments continued, and the contract fee also increased by several notches.

The biggest winner was the Pokeni company.

……

The cartoon "Onmyoji", except for some reasonable changes, basically follows the original book, that is, it is made according to the main line in the game.

Coupled with Kyoto Animation's efforts, the further you go, the better the quality of the animation, especially in the final episode, the battle between everyone and Yagi Orochi not only brought Kigami Masaki's storyboard talent to the extreme, but also showed a very high level of production.

No, it should be said that it is close to the first-line production level.

This shows that Kyoto Animation has worked quite hard.

The high requirements for quality and respect for the original game have won the favor of players.

There are even many players who have expressed their desire to experience the game "Onmyoji" again after watching the anime.

With the popularity of the "Onmyoji" animation, the game of the same name of P Society has been turned upside down.

However, the relationship between Pokeni and Ren Heaven is not very good now, and Yamauchi Pu no longer allows the game to land on Ren Tian's platform, which of course includes Onmyoji.

Forget about the game cartridges that were released before, you can't produce and produce the new Onmyoji series cartridges without Ren Tian's permission.

As long as it is produced, then it is illegal, and Ren Heaven can sue you for bankruptcy.

Then Qing Zhiyuan will certainly not take this risk.

So now the Onmyoji cartridges on the market can be said to be out of stock, in short supply, the sales were very good before, basically all the dealers' survival has been swept away, and now there is no new supply of game cartridges at all.

It is entirely by passing between players, exchanging experiences, or private transactions, that more players who want to experience Onmyoji after watching the anime can play this game smoothly.

After experiencing Onmyoji 1 and 2, many players have expressed their desire to collect a wave.

"It's such a classic game, and now I find out, and I really regret it."

"If it weren't for the cartoon, I wouldn't have started Onmyoji, but now, after playing Onmyoji, I can only say-

Pokeni is really a god.

Furuhara Tsubaki is really hateful, return my Yumu Spirit! ”

"The animation is a good animation, the game is a good game, and the two complement each other perfectly.

I've never seen an anime adapted from a game, so I thought I didn't feel like playing the game again after knowing the plot, but with the strong recommendation of my friend, I still finished experiencing Onmyoji 1 and 2.

Now that I've played it, I really feel that the game is very good.

Neon is really blessed to have such a game company.

I hope to make up for the regrets in the previous two games in Onmyoji 3. ”

"Hehe, when Onmyoji 2, we also hoped so, but Onmyoji 2, you also saw that the ancient thief was really not a human being, and he also found the garbage author of Xuyuan Xuan.

Onmyoji 2 really made me cry miserably. ”

"Don't trust pokeni!"

"Don't trust pokeni!"

"Don't trust pokeni!"

"Say the important thing three times!"

……

Just when the cartoon sparked the "Onmyoji" craze, and players talked about it with relish, P Society revealed a surprising news -

[Onmyoji series, which will land on Sega's MD, not only has a new improvement in picture quality, but also adds some small easter eggs]

In this report by Guo Letong, there is also a beautiful illustration -

Yuki Ling held her and the child of Asakura Yuan, standing on the top of the mountain, smiling in the sun.

[If...... If you can change it in the past]

[So...... What will the world look like? 】

This time, it directly made countless players break the big defense.

"Nani!? Really? As a fan of Pokeni, Hirosawa Furukawa's eyes almost fell off when he saw the report.

Unable to believe this fact, he rubbed his eyes carefully and confirmed it several times.

"Wow, it would be nice if it was true. This picture is almost explicit, right? It shows that among the new Sega Onmyoji, Yuki Ling is not dead, it is a happy ending, right? ”

"Although it is not explicitly stated, judging from the pictures and text in the report, it should be so."

"Secretly poking and poking to do this kind of thing, did Pokeni really find out in conscience? Has the conscience of Furuhara Tsubaki been discovered? Has the Void Abyss Mystery Conscience found out?

Or is our blade finally working? ”

"Oh my God, I'm really crying to death, I've long thought about having such a happy ending countless times, and I've been sad and sad for Yumu Ling for so long, I used to be extremely resentful of Pokeni, and I resented how Gu Yuan Tsubaki was so hard-hearted, but I didn't expect this day to really come.

My Yugi Spirit has actually returned. ”

"Woo woo, I am too, so moved, just seeing the picture of Ling holding the child, I can't be moved. This is a scene that is almost only dreamed of when dreaming.

It's really touching that it is so truly reflected in Guoletong's report. ”

"No, no, no, I don't think people should be too happy." A sane and calm player poured cold water on everyone's head.

"Have you forgotten, P Society also promised like this before, when "The Man of Reverse Degree"."

"Yes, it was also a report from Guoletong at the time, saying that there would never be a knife, and the hero and heroine would definitely live well.

That's right, both of them are alive and well, but after the staggered timeline, there is no way to get back together, what is the difference between such an ending and death?

It's better than a knife. ”

"That's it, so pokeni's words must be careful, take them apart and understand, don't be confused by appearances.

Be sure to see the tricks behind it. ”

"Mm-hmm, that makes sense. Now that I think about it, the painting showing the return of Yuki Ling is very likely to be a dream of Makura Yuan, and it is not a fact at all. ”

"Yes, yes, the picture itself is not clear enough, hazy, you can interpret it as the artistic conception, but it is more likely that what the official wants to express is not true."

"Mmmm, the more I think about it, the more I think it's like this, otherwise, with the urine nature of Gu Yuan Tsubaki, how could it be so good to players."

"I don't know if I'm going to be abused again, and I'll change my tricks."

"Uh...... When you say that, I don't dare to play this game anymore. ”

……

That being said, players are looking forward to the new Onmyoji that will be released at Sega in their hearts.

I hope that the report is true, and if I can really see the return of Yugi Ling on Sega instead of death, then it can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes.

The more sympathy and affection, the more inexplicable hope that this is true.

……

"Hehe, it's really a useless guy," Yamauchi Pu in the middle of Ren Heaven let out two sneers when he saw the report.

"After being rejected by Renten, did you fully turn to Sega?"

"And Sega is really unproductive, just accepting a garbage company like Pokeni, no matter how good others say, it can't change the fact that Onmyoji is a galgame."

And galgame is synonymous with garbage games in the heart of Yamauchi Pu now.

What's more, every time he thought of Qing Zhiyuan's curse on him at that time, Yamauchi Pu frowned a little angrily.

The arrogant kid, it's the first time that someone like Qing Zhiyuan humiliated him in person.

What's more, it's still mixed with a sworn enemy like Sega, and so is Sony.

These guys are really amazing.

Together, it's all people that Yamauchi hates.

Sony still has the possibility of cooperation in the future, at least on the surface, Ren Heaven dumped it, but Sega and Pokeni are never likely to become their partners, Yamauchi Pu is very clear about this.

However, Yamauchi Pu hated it, but he didn't take them to heart.

As he said to the media, if you want to challenge Rentian, if you have the ability, give it a try.

From the day he became the overlord of the game, Ren Heaven was destined to face all kinds of challenges.

Only those who truly love the game can go to the end, which is the philosophy that Yamauchi has always adhered to.

……

"Come on, come on, two presidents, you've worked hard."

In the izakaya, Kyoto Animation's president Hideaki Hatta has a bright face and raises the bottle to pour wine for Aochigen and Nao Tsuda.

Qing Zhiyuan's face was ruddy, and it was the first time he was Party A's father, and it felt really good to be held in the palm of his hand.

After the onmyoji's animation ended, Kyoto Animation was quite excited.

Because of the recognition of the audience, Kyoto Animation also has a good reputation, and the most important thing is that the level of Kyoto Animation has improved a lot in the past few months.

Of course, the sweat and sadness in the middle are also different, and even sometimes the members are tired enough to choke and really want to smash something to vent.

Fortunately, it all survived.

What surprised Hatta Hideaki even more was that-

Although it has always been compared with "The First Sakura War" produced by Sunrise Animation, it has become more and more frustrated, and even won the recognition of many audiences later.

Obviously, there is such a big gap between him and others in terms of painting level, but the ratings are inexplicably good.

Until now, Hatta Hideaki didn't think much about it.

"No, no, it's you who have worked hard." Qing Chiyuan raised his glass, "To President Hatta, to Superintendent Kigami, to Kyoto Animation." ”

Several people touched their wine glasses and took a sip each, slightly staggering at the same time, and the mood was extremely cheerful.

Although Qing Zhiyuan was in a good mood, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Kyoto Animation's progress is not small.

But Pokeni's side has lost a lot.

It's hard to believe that neon is the kingdom of animation, and cartoons can still lose money if they achieve good ratings?

But in fact, if the TV station does not subsidize the fee, then the main income of cartoons comes from the sale of video tapes, and in the future, it will rely on the sale of CDs.

A 13-episode season can probably produce a 4 to 6 volume videotape, and a complete season videotape can be sold for about 20,000 yen.

It sounds like a lot, but cartoons can't match the sales of games.

In the history of neon, it is already a very good achievement to be able to sell more than 20,000 copies (the cumulative average number of each set), and more than 40,000 copies can be said to be a masterpiece, and if it exceeds 100,000 copies, it can become the top three in history.

In the previous life, until 2023, the number one animated film is still 1995's "Neon Genesis Evangelion", which has achieved a flat sales of 209,000.

But as for the game, there are hundreds of thousands, millions, and even more than tens of millions of perverts like Super Mario.

For Onmyoji animation, Qing Zhiyuan knows it well, and the ratings are good, half of the reason is that he rubbed the popularity of Sunrise animation next door, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such good results.

Then the sales volume of video tapes can be imagined, and so far it has been less than 3,000.

This is already beyond Qing Zhiyuan's expectations.

Tired flat 3,000, the total sales volume is 12,000 pieces, calculated according to 5,000 yen a piece, then it is only 60 million sales, which also minus the production cost.

It can be said that it is a blood loss.

Fortunately, Qing Zhiyuan pulled DUN to share it in advance, otherwise 200 million would be a waste.

As for Kyoto Animation, they take money to do things, and when Pokeni gave them the animation, the income of 200 million yuan was all they had, and the rest of the videotapes were sold, and the income or anything had nothing to do with Kyoto Animation.

You can only make money by trying to save costs during the production process, but the problem is that Kyoto Animation, which wants to prove itself too much, has burned a lot of money, and in the end, there are not many children left.

Among them, the one who really makes money is DUN.

Because DUN not only has a live-action video of Onmyoji, but also a lot of peripheral products, after all, this company was originally born in making toys, around Yuki Ling, Asakura Yuan, Kurai Tsuki...... Even the Yaki Snake has made a lot of corresponding toys.

As Onmyoji's animation plays, these toys naturally sell for a high price.

In comparison, the 100 million invested in animation doesn't seem like much.

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Nao Tsuda.

What a fox.

……

A few people chatted for a while while drinking.

"Next, let's move on to new animations, right?" Hatta Hideaki poured a glass of wine for Seichi Won and asked earnestly, "If you want to continue the production of Onmyoji 2, please be sure to give it to us." The price can be cheaper. ”

Nao Tsuda, who was next to her, smiled but didn't say anything.

Whether there can be a second cooperation, it is estimated that it depends on the sales volume on the MD, Tsuda thought to himself, if pokeni's new onmyoji can sell well, there is still something to talk about if this part of the loss is earned.

However, due to the businessman's sense of smell, Tsuda is not very optimistic about this.

"Hmm."

But to her surprise, Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

With the first cooperation experience, plus the tempered KyoAni, the current technical level, experience, and personnel reserves have been greatly improved.

There is a basis for cooperation, and of course we must continue to cooperate.

The future of KyoAni has a bright future.

"Great, thank you for your trust in us!"

"However," Ching Ji-won interrupted, "Onmyoji 2 is not in a hurry, the animation we want to commission is another one, but I just don't know if you have enough manpower." ”

Well?

Isn't it Onmyoji 2?

Next to him, Nao Tsuda raised his eyebrows and looked at Qing Zhiyuan in some surprise.

This guy really doesn't play cards according to common sense.

……

What Qing Zhiyuan wants to make is a Pokémon.

"This game hasn't been released yet, so it's still in the secret stage, but the setting has basically been perfected."

Qing Zhiyuan also came prepared today, with a simple business plan, to give a few people a good time.

Roughly explained the game setting, the main line is quite simple-

A schoolboy named Ash takes his Pokémon all the way to the game and defeats the enemy.

"The rest of the story, it's just a story outline, and the rest has to be produced by Kyoto Animation, so there's a lot of content left to fill in, but it also means that you have more room to play."

After reading Hideaki Hatta, Masaharu Kigami, and Nao Tsuda, they probably had a preliminary impression in their hearts.

I have to say that Pokeni's creativity is really endless, and it can make people get the selling point of the game at once.

"Such a cute pet is very attractive to children and adults alike."

Masaharu Kigami reached out and gently rubbed the electric mouse called Pikachu on the drawing paper, inwardly assessing how much potential this guy could bring.

"So how many episodes of this cartoon are expected to be produced?" Hatta asked.

"The first part hopefully is about 50 episodes. If I could, I would like to keep doing it. Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Huh?!" Hideaki Hatta and Massaharu Kigami were clearly frightened.

"We can find a formal meeting to discuss the specific content later," Qing Zhiyuan pondered for two seconds and said, "but we hope to broadcast it simultaneously in August this year." ”

"Ah...... That's right. Hatta Hideaki thought about it, the time is a bit rushed, but it is not that there is no room for operation, if you can spend two weeks to determine the content of the script, it will be completely in time to make it.

"Please give us some time to think about it, and Kyoto Animation will produce a detailed plan based on your company's requirements, and then the youth president will judge it."

"Okay, that couldn't be better." Qing Zhiyuan laughed.

……

On the way back in the evening, Seoh Chi Won and Nao Tsuda walked down the slope full of cherry blossoms.

Tsuda clasped his hands and thought about something as he walked.

"Ao-san, you can talk to Kyoto Animation about Pokémon in private, why did you say it in front of me today? It's not like your style. ”

It should be said that Qing Zhiyuan is becoming more and more able to hide himself.

But it's really rare to be so upright and unabashed today.

Qing Zhiyuan reached out and dragged Nao Tsuda back into his arms.

The two men stuck to each other, staring at each other.

Qing Zhiyuan smiled slyly, put his arm around Nao Tsuda's waist, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "We can authorize DUN to make peripheral production, but pokeni has to take the lion's share of the money."

How about eight or two? ”

"Yes."

Nao Tsuda replied coldly and decisively with a smile, barely thinking.

The corners of Qing Zhiyuan's mouth twitched slightly.

Tsk, this guy has seen through everything a long time ago, hasn't he?
