Chapter 264. Then why are you so confused? (4000 words)(1/2)
The atmosphere of the production team of "The Winner Is Justice" is a bit heavy, and many people were silent and didn't speak.
The atmosphere can be said to be heavier than when Higashinoji pressed them to the ground and rubbed them back and forth.
Chiashi Yama also felt the heavy atmosphere now. She was always cunning and didn't even dare to look up at Higashiji's current expression, for fear that when she looked up, she would find Higashiji looking at her.
The results of "The Winner Is Justice" are indeed quite ordinary, with a first-day sales of 1.5W, which is much lower than the previous expectations of Higashino Studio... If it is an ordinary animation, the results are quite acceptable and acceptable... But "The Winner Is Justice" is different. This is Higashinoji's work, and each episode can be said to be a big production, with a production fund of more than 20 million yen... As a result, I got such an ordinary result...
Qianxia on the mountain also understands this.
Although the data of "Winner is Justice" sold 1.5W discs on the first day of "Winner is Justice" seems to be very good... But as mentioned earlier, the Blu-ray discs of Japanese animation are all prepared for senior core fans. Most of this audience will buy "Winner is Justice" Blu-ray discs at the first time. As time goes by, the number of CD sales will only drop explosively...
Especially in 2004, when newspapers and television were still mainstream media... I only got this result, but it was really just average.
The staff at Higashino Studios were in a sluggish state and everyone was more or less frustrated.
Sitting in the main seat, Higashinoji quietly observed the comparison of "The Winner Is Justice" with the Blu-ray disc sales of several other companies.
The first MIC animation production company, "Takagi Jun from the House Next Door", sold 1.30,000 yuan on the first day. This result is very good for them. After all, the competition was fierce in October, and they did not make such a big investment like Higashino Studio, so they were fully acceptable.
The results of Xigang Film, which is short of funds, are average. The sales on the first day only reached 9,000 copies. There are too many high-quality animations in October, and they were considered to have been killed by accident.
The old Kawaguchi Studio showed the heritage of the old studio at this moment, and its sales reached 1.980,000 on the first day.
In addition, what Higashinoji didn't expect was... Asuka Club, which he didn't care much before, actually touched the threshold of 1.6W of sales without knowing it...
I have to say that there are indeed many Japanese men, and many people pay for the animations of Lily.
Higashinoji compared several companies at the same time, raised his eyebrows and probably had an answer in his heart.
He also made a high praise for "The Winner Is Justice" before, but he did not consider that Higashino Studio is just a small animation production studio that is just a small start-up animation studio. To put it bluntly, it is a workshop.
Even if the name Higashinoji is hung up, the number of loyal fans is still lacking compared to these old animation production companies.
Even if it is Higashinoji's comic fans, they will definitely be idle when facing Blu-ray discs up to 5,000 yen.
Higashinoji can understand this.
He thought about it here, and it took a few minutes to come back to his senses.
"Teacher Higashino, do you have anything to say?" Yano Ryuichi asked quietly beside him.
After hearing the question from Yano Ryuichi, the others raised their heads before Higashinoji. Each of them looked at Higashinoji's face more or less.
Feeling their gaze, Higashinoji also raised his head and squinted his eyes and smiled at them comfortably.
But this squinted smile made many people present feel cold.
Whether it is scolding the original artist for being unserious or playing table tennis to crush and ravage others, Higashinoji laughs like this... Now he is laughing again... Do you want to kill whom?
"Please rest assured, everyone? This situation is actually as expected." Higashinoji said with a smile: "Our studio is just starting out? It is normal to have a gap with other animation production companies. The sales of 1.5W CDs are already very good. Besides, this is just the beginning? It does not mean that our subsequent results have always been like this."
These words are mostly comforting words? The same is true for what Higashinoji said, "The situation is as I expected." He did not expect this situation at all.
But the more this time? As the backbone of Higashino Studio, the one that absolutely takes the lead? Naturally, he cannot shake the morale of the army.
Hearing his words? The atmosphere in Higashino's studio suddenly became much more relaxed, and many people quietly breathed a sigh of relief, while waiting for him to continue speaking.
"It's already very good to achieve this in the beginning of the season, at least that's what I think? Similarly? I'm confident in the next development and sales of "Winner is Justice"." Higashino continued: "Are you not confident in the film "Winner is Justice"?"
Everyone shook their heads as they heard this. "The Winner Is Justice" was very well-produced. Even Kawaguchi Studio, which has the highest disc sales, cannot have the production quality of "The Winner Is Justice".
"Since that's the case, why not calm down and observe the next development. It's useless to be depressed now." Higashinoji knocked on the table? He said with a smile.
This is indeed reasonable.
Things have happened, and it’s meaningless to be depressed?
"The situation is a bit bad and there is no big problem. When I first took over "The Winner is Justice"? The situation is much worse than it is now. Most people think that we cannot produce "The Winner is Justice"? But we have overcome all these hardships? Then winning the animation season championship is definitely not a problem."
Higashinoji's voice is not loud? But it makes people unable to help but listen. Maybe this is the person who can sing, and the voices are so nice and translucent.
And if these few words were placed elsewhere, they might be just a simple spiritual chicken soup, but they were completely different in Higashino Studio... Originally, Higashino Studio was composed of the original PW animation production company, and the employees here did follow Higashinoji to overcome many difficulties.
These words really hit their hearts - now let them give up? That's just impossible to think about it!
The employees below were energetic again.
As the pillar of Higashino Studio, Higashinoji did not fluctuate at all, so the employees below naturally calmed down again.
Yano Ryuichi next to him looked at Higashi from time to time, thinking that this young man was indeed very amazing.
At least he is not as popular as Higashinoji in the studio now.
The sales analysis meeting ended soon.
In fact, there is no analysis. After all, "The Winner is Justice" has been polished perfectly in all aspects, and I have already selected the questions at that time.
On the other side, Higashinoji, who brought them back to their post, drank a sip of water.
As he said, he is very confident in "The Winner Is Justice". After all, when comparing horizontally, there is indeed no company's production quality higher than "The Winner Is Justice". This is the best animation. Unlike TV series, it can be seen at a glance whether it is good or bad.
And Higashinoji also read some reviews on the Internet.
"The Winner Is Justice" is mostly positive reviews, with few negative reviews, and the quality of the series is absolutely fine, so the problem is probably lies in the popularity of Higashino Studio.
After all, Higashino Studio doesn’t even have a decent official webpage, and it looks so ugly. It’s something produced by such an animation studio that almost few people know about... Of course, it’s not as good as several other animation production companies.
Thinking of this, Higashinoji's mind became much more active. He felt that it would be less of a problem that he expected that "Winner is Justice" to play two or three episodes of Blu-ray sales before it would start to gradually increase.
At that time, it was probably the time to draw the sword.
As for some people, Higashinoji is a little arrogant, and his current grades are generally so blind and confident about subsequent development... Higashinoji doesn't think it's nothing. He is a serious professional painter and must be confident in art. If he doesn't even have confidence in his works, then what kind of art will he do?
He has a good mentality and does not look like the staff in the studio, because of this.
But before he could take a breath... Hosokawa Koharu called him.
"Teacher Higashino, the sales results of the first volume of "The Winner is Justice" are average. Is this true?"
Hosokawa Koharu on the other side of the phone spoke with a little concerned tone.
"It's indeed an average achievement." Higashinoji did not keep it in hiding and directly presented the result to Hosokawa Koharu.
"...Is that true?" Hosokawa Koharu on the other end of the phone looked a little hesitant.
In her impression, this is probably the first time Higashinoji has suffered a defeat since his debut? I don’t know what Higashinoji’s current mentality is...
Anyway, it is always right to comfort me first.
Hosokawa Koharu pondered and was about to comfort her, but was interrupted by Higashinoji.
Higashinoji on the phone actually spoke up to comfort her:
"Sorry, editor Hosokawa, you helped me a lot this time "The Winner is Justice". Not only did you hire the original artist but also the supervisor... It can be said that the production of "The Winner is Justice" was successfully produced by editor Hosokawa. The first-day sales performance was not very good. I guess you were a little disappointed, right? But it doesn't matter..."
"Uh..." Listening to Higashiji's words, Hosokawa Koharu opened his mouth on his own initiative.
No, I am here to comfort you? Why do you want to comfort me in the opposite direction?
"No...Teacher Higashino, I have great confidence in you, Mr. Higashino..."
"I know what you want to say with Hosokawa editor, but I hope you have some confidence in me. The final result of "The Winner Is Justice" will definitely not disappoint you."
"No...I know, I'm not disappointed..."
Hosokawa Koharu was stunned. Hitonoji directly said what she wanted to say. She was originally coming to comfort Hitonoji, but she was actually comforted by Hitonoji in turn.
What the hell is this?
She hurriedly adjusted her pace and was about to show that she would always support Higashinoji...
"Please rest assured, I can see the support from Editor Hosokawa for me, and I will make a counterattack next."
Uh ah ah...
Teacher Higashino, your mentality is really good...
Listening to Higashinoji's extremely confident voice, all the words Hosokawa Koharu wanted to comfort him disappeared - Higashinoji was so confident. If she said something else, wouldn't she have no confidence in Higashinoji?
So Hosokawa Koharu nodded with laughter and tears. She originally came to comfort Higashinoji, but was suppressed by Higashinoji and poured a wave of spiritual chicken soup: "Then I'll wait for you, Mr. Higashino, for good news."
The two chatted for a while, and then Koharu Hosokawa took the initiative to hang up the phone.
However, Hosokawa Koharu, who was here, just hung up the phone, and Riko Hasegawa on the other end also took the initiative to call.
This made Higashinoji really a little amused.
Why do you call yourself at this time? Are you such a mentally fragile person?
He was a little funny, but considering that Riko Hasegawa came to care about him, she took the initiative to answer the phone.
But while answering the phone, he spoke without hesitation: "Miss Hasegawa, I have a good mentality now and I don't have the desire to seek death. "The Victor is Justice" is in good condition, and it doesn't say as if the sky is about to collapse like outside."
Higashinoshi paused and continued, "Same, you don't have to care about the sales of "The Winner is Justice". Your dubbing is perfect. Well... I'm finished speaking, is there anything wrong with Miss Hasegawa?"
"Hey? Oh... it seems to be gone..." Hasegawa Riko was so dizzy that she was hit by Higashinoji's combination of punches. When she heard the other party's question, she subconsciously responded.
As Higashinoji said, she did come to comfort Higashinoji... Similarly, she was also a little worried about whether it was her dubbing problem, which led to the current situation of "The Winner Is Justice"...
Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Higashinoji had already blocked everything she wanted to say... and even comforted her in turn.
Riko Hasegawa grabbed her head, and Kako Mizuko, who was beside her, turned her face and asked curiously: "How is it? What does Teacher Higashino say?"
Kako Mizuko felt that there was no need to call Higashinoji. After all, she felt that her dubbing was not a big problem, and options such as apology basically did not exist.
To be continued...
