Chapter 254 Cooperation

Shen Xin's words not only reminded the three shareholders of Longyao, but also reminded Bao Jiyi and Shang Haozhi.

In the final analysis, a magazine agency is selling books, comic books, and magazines.

They chose an animation company for the animation, and they also had this purpose in mind.

They don't care much about ordinary comics, because even high-quality animation production can't bring too much profit to the comics, because the stories of the comics themselves are not so eye-catching.

But good comics are different. Cooperating with high-quality animations can create great benefits.

Whether the ending of an animation is good or bad, the audience can directly feel it.

Take "Soul of Chess" as an example. Xiaoguang's loss to Xiaoliang is the end of the first stage, and it is also the first time Xiaoguang has degenerated. For emotionally sensitive audiences, they may feel aggrieved, and "Soul of Chess" will lose this part of readers.

If it ends after entering the Go dojo, the audience will be in a different mood.

First of all, Xiaoguang has become a dojo student with the attitude of a successful person, and the audience will be happy for Xiaoguang. Secondly, since Xiaoguang entered the dojo, it means that the following is the story between Xiaoguang and other students. But the animation stopped abruptly at this point, but the audience may still have more to say.

If the audience still wants to know the plot behind it, the only way is to buy the comics. In this way, the sales of the booklet will be stimulated.

Generally, Bao Jiyi seldom follows up to this stage for comic reform projects.

This time it involves the animation company in District 11, and the development trend of "Soul of Chess" in District 11 may even be better than "Legend of the Dragon King". Collaboration, therefore, has been involved. It's not that he doesn't know what Shen Xin said, but because he hasn't followed the project to this point for a long time, he has ignored the existence of these problems.

As for Shang Haozhi, because too many companies were involved, he also neglected this matter.

Reminded by Shen Xin, Bao Jiyi's attitude is no longer the same as before, dispensable, but looking at Long Yao's general manager Long Tian with very expectant eyes.

"Mr. Long, Mr. Fukuda, I think what Teacher Shen said is very reasonable. If "Soul of Chess" publishes a hundred episodes now, I support the production of the annual series, but now there are only forty episodes, and the content is only enough to produce half a year. At the same time, If you make a season series with 13 episodes, it will be really embarrassing where it ends. How about it? Just do a half-year series." Bao Jiyi finalized the length of the comic.

Oi and Fukuda discussed it, and they didn't have much opinion. For them, funding is no problem. It would be the best if he could do Nian Fan and firmly grasp the right to sell "Soul of Chess" in the 11th district. If you only do it for half a year, you can take a look at the market's reaction first, and you can accept it.

"Yes, but I hope Orochi can get the right to produce the second season first under the same conditions." Fukuda made his own request.

"Of course, these things can be written in the contract." Bao Jiyi smiled, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and looked at Long Yao's side again, "Manager Long, what do you think?"

Long Tian just opened his mouth, before he could speak, the person in charge of the TV station raised his hand, "I want to say something."

"Director Gu, please tell me if you have anything to say." Bao Jiyi said.

Shen Xin also looked at Director Gu, only to find that he was a middle-aged man with a crew cut and looked energetic.

"I just listened to Teacher Shen's words, and suddenly realized that the half-year program is indeed more effective.

Therefore, no matter who you produce, the TV station is interested in Huaxia's screening rights. Director Gu laughed.

Hearing this, Long Tian also understood what everyone meant, so he nodded.

"I know, let's do it every six months."

Bao Jiyi bowed his head, took notes in his notebook, and then asked Shen Xin, "Mr. Shen, what else do you need for animation?"

"Request..." Shen Xin scratched her chin, "If you request... I hope to advance the plot according to the story of the comic. Don't add an original plot."

"When we were making the animation, "Soul of Chess" was also being serialized, so the original plot should not be used." Long Tian said hastily.

Moreover, it also requires a sum of money to hire a screenwriter to write an original plot, which is very important.

"Also, there is music. I think good music is also a part of good animation. I hope that the two companies can devote 100% of their strength to do all the music in "Soul of Go".

The music of the original "Soul of Chess" animation is very classic, and it matches the story very well. In particular, the first theme song "get over", when the rhythm is fast, the whole song with lyrics can bring people infinite power, and when the rhythm of the song slows down, there is a touch of sadness.

When Xiao Guang recalled Zuo Wei who disappeared, whenever this song played in the background, tears would often flow down.

Shen Xin knew that this song was very suitable for "Soul of Chess", no matter the lyrics or the style of the song, but he couldn't say it, or even hum it. Even if the production company is willing to use the song, they have to ask the source of the song.

One thing more is worse than one thing less, Shen Xin can only put forward her own request, how the two companies do it depends on their operation.

At this time, Long Tian coughed dryly and asked, "Mr. Shen probably doesn't know much about animation production, right?"

Shen Xin nodded. He really didn't know much about animation production, but he had watched quite a few animations.

"The music for the animation is in charge of the record company, and they will also release music albums after the animation is released. Therefore, for all the music of "Soul of Chess", we can only ask the record company to find high-quality musicians." Long Tian explained.

"That's right." Shang Haozhi explained from the side.

Shen Xin scratched her head, she didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Fukuda interrupted suddenly and spoke a long list of Japanese. Shen Xin blinked and couldn't understand, and the other Huaxia people were also at a loss.

Oi then translated Fukuda's words into Chinese.

"President Fukuda said that if everyone can't find a suitable record company, Orochi can be responsible for contacting them. However, the record company must have a global distribution authorization for music."

The people present looked at each other, and finally focused on Long Tian.

"I... I don't care, because the music is produced by the record company alone, and it is not included in the production fee of the animation. However, my condition is that the animation songs outside the 11th district must be in Chinese."

The quality of the music depends on the strength of the record company, and after the animation is released, the record company's income mainly depends on the record, not the animation, and there is no competition with Long Yao. Therefore, Long Yao also thinks more openly, and he doesn't have the energy to contact the record company now.

What's more, if the theme song or ending song is of high quality, it will also be of great benefit to the sales of DVDs and BDs.

In the next few hours, each party discussed the more detailed situation, and Shen Xin didn't care too much about it, because he was rarely able to intervene.

Seeing that the meeting was over and all parties signed the contract, Shen Xin suddenly remembered a very important question.

"Mr. Long, I want to ask, when will the animation of "Soul of Chess" be released?"

Long Tian just closed the pen, he was taken aback for a moment when he heard Shen Xin's words, and then looked at Director Gu, "Director Gu, when can you arrange it?"

"October... I have already applied with the leadership of the station, and it will be broadcast every Saturday night at 8 o'clock."

Shen Xin's eyes lit up when she heard this sentence, this time is almost the best time to play it.

"Thank you, Director Gu." Shen Xin quickly thanked her.

"Then draw a few more good works." Director Gu narrowed his eyes.

Shen Xin thought of another thing, the right time, place and people, almost all of them were available. "Soul of Chess" hit the first place in "ic future", starting from October.
