Chapter 138: It's Not Genius That Defeats Capital, It's Genius Itself That Is Capital (2/4)
"I really envy a genius like you who can choose your own way of life."
Kazama Asaba smiled and said, "Everyone has their own troubles, and even geniuses can fall into a cycle of troubles because of various things.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, they will think that we will be distressed, simply because we are too greedy. ”
Daisuke Hiraki smiled and said, "There will indeed be such a situation, just like when I was just preparing to cooperate with you before, in fact, the opposition within the company was quite big, after all, our behavior was too desperate." ”
Kazama Asaba nodded.
Don't look at the proposal for the animation of "Reincarnated Succubus" passed smoothly inside the animation studio, but that was because this project was fully supported by Daisuke Hiramaki, who was the president and the backbone of the young and middle-aged generations, and someone within the company learned about the past experience of Kazuma Asaba before it was finally approved.
Essentially, it was Kazama Asaba who transferred all the troubles of docking to Daisuke Hirumaki, the general supervisor who pushed the project, and he was able to join the company in a relatively easy way and become the general supervisor of the project.
You know, at first, Kazama Asaba didn't expect to become the chief overseer at all.
It's not that he's not confident in his own strength, it's purely that he doesn't think the animation studio will have such a big determination.
Eating qualifications is not a thing that only happens in Great Xia, looking at the world, no company in any country will say that it does not eat qualifications, not to mention that Asaba Kazama has not actually verified his ability at all.
was able to skip the rank and become the chief overseer in this way, largely because of his own ability, which made Taira Mu Daisuke happy and convinced, and took the initiative to support him.
Daisuke Hiraki felt that it was okay to be indifferent to this, but Kazama Asaba naturally couldn't take other people's kindness for granted.
So Asaba Kazama said, "What does Superintendent Heimu think of this industry?" ”
Daisuke Hiramaki smiled and said, "Hasn't the industry always been like that? ”
Asa Kazama snorted and said, "A producer like Dengeki Bunko has produced more and more works over the years, does Superintendent Heimu think this is a good thing?" ”
Daisuke Hiramaki was silent for a moment, then took half of the cigarette in his mouth with a click, and then said, "Who knows? At least it can bring a little vitality to the backwater industry, right? ”
"Yes, this is all a last resort, the animation company has to eat, since a light producer like Dengeki Bunko is willing to pay for the old company to share the pressure......
Although everyone knows that the quality of the light reform is worrying over the years, only when you have a full meal can you consider things like so-called dreams. ”
Daisuke Hiramaki knew what Kazama Asaba meant.
The living environment of animation companies in recent years has not been as good as outsiders imagined.
Since the birth of the production WY system, Toei's animation company has been on a fast track that no one knows where it will go.
The large-scale popularization of light reform is closely related to the production of the WY meeting system.
To put it simply, since the animation company needs to follow the production WY meeting system, the direct responsibility of the animation company has changed from the audience to the employer.
Someone might say, "What's the difference?" Even if the person in charge becomes the employer, the employer also hopes that the animation can do well, so that it can make a lot of money! ”
Such a statement sounds plausible, but it actually doesn't make sense.
Let's just say a very simple example, although it is not the same as the era when toilet paper in another world was popular in the previous life, but Dongying in this time and space has also fallen into a strange circle of frequent toilet paper in another world.
Why?
Obviously, the toilet paper animation in the different world does not meet the preferences of a considerable number of audiences, and the production of the industrial assembly line is a typical example of shoddy production, but why have there been more and more toilet paper animations in the different world over the years?
It's simple, because it's easy to make money.
Just like idol companies harvest money in the simplest way by mass-selling templated idols, everyone knows that Xiao Xianrou basically has no acting skills, and even dancing and singing are indescribable, but they are so red and purple that they frequently occupy public traffic.
Even later, the management began to quietly play aesthetic downgrade to reduce the cost of cultivating mass selling idols from the source.
This kind of situation where bad money drives out good money is more common in animation companies.
Yes, most of the toilet paper animation in another world is so shoddy, and even because the copyright is in a light producer like Dengeki Library, after the animation, even if it is a big success, the main profit is not in the animation company.
Even if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter, because the management has calculated an account:
"Even if there is a loss in animation, the short-term traffic generated after animation can still feed back light sales to a great extent, and there is a high probability that the profits from the increased light sales can make up for the loss of animation, and in case a hit is born......
That's a lot of money!"
Look, the management has calculated this account clearly.
In an era where traffic is king, even the industry can't escape this criterion.
That's why when Kazama Asaba asked Daisuke Hiramaki this question, Daisuke Hiramaki was in an unusually low mood.
In the short term, such an operation can allow a considerable number of companies at the bottom of the industrial chain in the industry to survive.
From the long-term perspective of the industry, Daisuke Heimu has a faint hunch:
"This kind of behavior is directly digging out the roots of innovation in animation companies."
If you can eat on your knees, why stand up and starve?
There are definitely quite a few companies that think this way.
When an industry loses the aggressiveness to make original animation, the rise of the industry will come to an abrupt end, and even if it is a crazy decline, it is not impossible.
It is true that original animation is very risky, but if most people want to make money and fewer and fewer people delve into original animation, then it will really be the day of twilight.
Daisuke Hiramoki's gaze looked at Kazama Asaba: "Mr. Asaba, the reality is very cruel, for example, Miss Ishihara, to be honest, if you hadn't proposed to let her be the outsourcing of this project, we wouldn't even give her the opportunity to inspect her level, this is the reality." ”
Asa Kazama laughed in a low voice, and said to him in a casual tone: "Yes, reality is so cruel, but it is precisely because of the cruelty of reality that the real world is more cruel to show in front of everyone, isn't it?" ”
Asaba Kazama calmly looked at Taisuke Heimu, and said meaningfully: "Supervisor Heimu, don't forget, the reality is that the vast majority of mediocre people may barely catch up with the starting point of real geniuses in their lifetimes.
It is precisely because this is reality that the world is so tolerant of geniuses, like me, like Rina, who has the right to choose, not genius defeats capital, but genius...... It is natural capital in itself. ”
