Chapter Five Hundred and Sixtieth IX Grades and Costs

Shang Haozhi sat on the sofa full of doubts, not understanding why Bao Jiyi called him here, nor why Longtian was here.

On the tea table in front of Bao Jiyi, there was a document, which seemed to be at least thirty or forty pages long.

However, Shang Haozhi didn't wait too long, and Bao Jiyi quickly explained the reason for calling him here.

"Longyao Company wants to produce the animation of "The King of Rock and Roll". This is their proposal." Bao Jiyi handed the document in front of him to Shang Haozhi.

"The King of Rock and Roll?"

Shang Haozhi raised his brows, he didn't expect Long Tian to come here for "The King of Rock and Roll".

However, Longyao Animation is one of the best animation companies in China. Although the level is not as good as Orochi, the quality is guaranteed. At the same time, he has also participated in the production of "Soul of Chess", and the level is obvious to all.

The animation of "Steel Refining" has been won by Orochi—in fact, even if it is not won, Shang Haozhi is not going to hand it over to Long Yao, because "Steel Refining" has opened up the market in District 11, and of course readers and readers in District 11 must be taken into account. Audiences, high-quality animation is essential—right now, the hottest comic in "ic future" is undoubtedly "The King of Rock and Roll". "The results fluctuated.

""The Hunting Abyss" is what you are doing, and now you are doing "The King of Rock and Roll", is there enough time?"

In addition to the works of "ic future", Long Yao also took over the comics of other magazines, Shang Haozhi was worried about the quality of "The King of Rock and Roll".

"No problem! We are going to produce a semi-annual series, with a total of 24 episodes. I roughly calculated, and it just happens to be able to do the singing column that was serialized not long ago. This work must also be our own flagship work. If we can talk about it this month, the best It will be released in July next year. Of course, considering the quality, we may push it to October, and these can be discussed.”

"Really?" Shang Haozhi flipped through the proposal and saw the last note, "You mean, you want to change the original story—"

"For sure. Because of the incident not long ago, it caused dissatisfaction in the music industry. Long Yao is not Yishu culture, if it can avoid trouble, of course it is the best." Long Tian explained.

Shang Haozhi nodded.

The animation company still wants to sell BD, and maybe they will sell the video to the website in the future, but no one will dislike the fact that they earn less money.

Of course, if it is a big production like "Smelting Steel" and it is a feature-length animation, "ic future" will also consider investing in it, in order to increase sales of magazines and booklets.

For comics of average quality, "ic future" may not be able to contribute.

Like "King of Rock and Roll", the magazine will definitely pay part of the fee, but it will not support "Forged Steel".

"Although I really want to agree, I still need to listen to Mr. Luo's opinions and suggestions. Especially, the plot of this comic will be changed. I think it's better to say hello to the author."

"This is the best way. After everyone discusses it, let me know the result." Bao Jiyi urged.

After Xu Jie heard the news, the depression in his heart was swept away, and he couldn't wait to call Luo Zheng.

There is no doubt that the production of animation will have a positive effect on comics. "The King of Rock and Roll" has been in a bit of a downturn recently. If it can be made into an animation, it will also be of great benefit to "The King of Rock and Roll".

Originally, Luo Zheng was quite happy.

But after learning that it was Long Yao who made the animation, he said a word, could he ask a company in District 11 to make it.

"ah?"

Holding the microphone, Xu Jie looked at Shang Haozhi who was puzzled, and didn't know how to explain it.

...

"Mr. Shang was depressed all afternoon because of this matter, and contacted several companies in the 11th district, but no one was willing to accept it." When Jian Xiaomei was receiving the manuscript, she told him about the preparation of animation for "The King of Rock and Roll" Ye Hexu.

"Of course no one wants to pick it up. Those companies in District 11 are not fools." Ye Hexu replied.

"What do you mean?" Jian Xiaomei was a little confused.

"Do you know how to do business that loses money?" Ye Hexu turned around and asked Jian Xiaomei.

"It's not that the comic company in District 11 hasn't produced the animation of "ic future"..." Seeing Ye Hexu's expression that should be taken for granted, Jian Xiaomei retorted with a little anger.

"It depends on two aspects. If it is a second-rate animation company in District 11, it is not as good as Longyao, and the cost is 10% to 20% higher. If it is Orochi's level... To be honest, the magazine If you have to pay a lot of money, it depends on whether the magazine is willing to do so."

""Steel Forged" is out, "King of Rock and Roll" should also be available, right?"

"It's different! Jian Xiaomei, why are you so obsessed with this matter? Except for "Steel Refining" and "Soul of Chess", other domestic comics have to use animation companies in District 11, and the prices have to go up. Well, Huaxia will pay the full capital." Ye Hexu turned his head to look at Jian Xiaomei, his face was full of contempt.

"The results of "The King of Rock and Roll" are also very good. Not long ago, they won the first place in the small book three times." Seeing Ye Hexu's expression, Jian Xiaomei felt a little overwhelmed.

"Please, no matter how good the results of "King of Rock and Roll" are in China, what does it have to do with District 11? They only make judgments based on the results of "Young Leap". "King of Rock and Roll" has "Young Leap" "The little book?"

Jian Xiaomei shook her head.

"Has "The King of Rock and Roll" opened up the market in District 11?"

Jian Xiaomei shook her head again.

"There is not even a market. If the company in District 11 makes it, who will sell bd to? If they can't sell bd, how can the company make money? Therefore, Huaxia must sell all of it. It is completely different from "Steel Refining", "Steel Refining" The single book can sell well in the 11th district, BD also has a market, "Steel Refining" also won the first place in the short book of "Youth Leap", the ratings of animation in the 11th district should not be low, right?"

"It seems to be about 7%." Jian Xiaomei recalled.

There are more animations being produced now, and the ratings are lower than before.

"7%, tell me, how do the two comics compare?" Ye Hexu asked back.

Jian Xiaomei was dumbfounded.

Since "The King of Rock and Roll" has no market in the 11th district, no matter whether it is a single book, bd or peripherals, the audience is not too large, and it is basically unprofitable.

"Steel Refining" is different. The average sales volume of the booklet is close to 700,000 copies. The popularity of "Shounen Leap" is also good. It is hard not to be popular for such a comic.

"The two sides won't freeze?" Jian Xiaomei muttered to herself, feeling a little sympathetic to Xu Jie.

"Then who knows...Jian Xiaomei, do you know how to thank me now? If I also ask to use the animation company in District 11 to produce, do you think you will be embarrassed?" Ye Hexu bared his teeth.

"..."

Jian Xiaomei rolled her eyes and wanted to refute, but she also thought that if Ye Hexu made such a fuss, she wouldn't have much to do.

"Look... There must be a conclusion to this matter. I personally think that Long Yao will take over this comic in the end." Ye Hexu put his hands behind his head, "The difference in production level between the two parties will not be too big, but The cost is not small. The magazine must consider these factors."

Although Jian Xiaomei was dissatisfied with Ye Hexu's expression that should be taken for granted, she had to admit that what Ye Hexu said was the truth.

Any comic in China wants to have the "treatment" of "Steel Refining", but there is no matching result.
