On Blue Star, almost all video websites have an "animation" section, but depending on the popularity of the website itself, the overall popularity of the animation section also varies.

"What I want to do is to try to make a choice between Yunsu and Yueqi, and adopt a share-sharing model."

Both video websites have their own pros and cons.

Since each video website competes to purchase the broadcasting rights of different online dramas, TV series and movies, Yunsu Video is not the only one among the multiple video websites, but it is one of the largest comprehensive Internet service providers in China.

Its services include social communication software, social network platforms, portals, news clients, game platforms, etc., making it Blue Star's leading Internet company.

Compared to behemoths like Yunsu, Yueqi can only be regarded as a little guy, but it is the largest video barrage website in China, with the best acg atmosphere and the most comprehensive and diverse new anime series.

and famous.

The former has greater influence, while the latter is more widely followed by young people.

"Does this need to be said?" Fang Lian did not hesitate: "Adults have to choose!"

Cui Hongyi nodded and agreed: "To be realistic, our company is currently not well-known in the industry. Whether it can pass the review of the video website is a question. I suggest that the company should send a copy to each of the two video websites. Which one passes the review?

Whichever one you choose, if both are passed, we will discuss the specific details at that time.”

"What about the broadcast copyright?" Wen Feihang asked: "With our company's current reputation, the video website probably won't give us a share, right?"

"This is not necessarily true," Dai Yuyan said: "If our work is the kind that has great potential at first glance, the video website will definitely try to buy the exclusive broadcast rights and directly adopt the form of buyout," she commented fairly:

"But if it's 'is', I don't think anyone can make an accurate evaluation."

Otherwise, their production team would not have caused so much controversy inside and outside the school during this period of time.

This was a bit blunt to say, but the Pleiades didn't mind either.

He is still very confident in the money-making ability of "is", not to mention that it is indeed an excellent commercial animation, but for people in this world, those who accept it are acceptable, and those who do not are less acceptable.

.

Nurturing and cute harem dramas are not a popular genre in animation, because its audience and upper limit are always there, but it cannot be said to be unpopular, because there is never a shortage of audiences. In short, it is basically impossible to become as popular as mainstream animations.

, but there is still no problem with the basic plan of trying to be well-off.

With this basic plan in place, even if the reviewers of the video website have a general impression of "is", they will consider buying the broadcast rights of "is". After all, as long as the production is decent, this type of animation rarely loses money.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Xiao Zhengwen received the animation work called "Infinite Stratos" when he first started working.

As the general person in charge of the animation review team, Xiao Zhengwen does not need to audition to watch countless animation works. His team members will be responsible for solving this pre-selection process. The team members will review all animation works sent to Yueqi Video.

A preliminary review, only if it passes the preliminary review within the group, will it be submitted to Xiao Zhengwen for final judgment and ruling.

In other words, this animation work called "Infinite Stratos" was submitted to him only after it was reviewed by his team members and determined to have certain potential and commercial value.

Xiao Zhengwen glanced absently at the 26 episodes of animation neatly arranged in the computer folder.

He did not rush to click on the animation review, but first focused on the staff and cast.

Painting animation...

I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I didn't have a deep impression. I guess it's just a small workshop company.

Xiao Zhengwen thought this and felt a little disappointed. It's not that he looked down on small workshops, but animation is an industry that requires experience after all. Animation companies with decades of production experience in the industry cannot guarantee the quality of their animation works, like this

The level of small workshops will only become more unstable.

When his eyes fell on the dubbing table below, Xiao Zhengwen's eyes lit up.

Good guy, the main characters are all well-known CVs in the industry, and the CV of one of the heroines is his goddess Liu Wan. With this CV lineup, even if the plot is average, at least there are fans of big-name CVs who are following it.

After reading this, Xiao Zhengwen dragged the mouse down and looked at the plot summary at the back.

Infinite Stratos is a super weapon that only women can use. As the only male protagonist who can use infinite Stratos, he was forced into the IS Academy composed of women...

It should be a harem drama, right.

As the leader of the review team responsible for animation procurement, Xiao Zhengwen does not evaluate animation purely based on personal preferences, but mainly based on market trends. For now, this animation called "is", see the introduction

Although the plot is too nerdy, it excels in the beauty of the characters and the outstanding mechanical design. In addition, the popular CV franchise is also an important reference link.

"is" has a total of 26 episodes. Excluding the opening and ending credits, each episode lasts an average of 21 minutes.

Having nothing to do, Xiao Zhengwen simply clicked on the animation and watched it attentively.

"Boss, I have uploaded the animation for the preliminary review to your computer. Please give me a thorough review. Will this animation pass?"

Xiao Zhengwen came back to his senses and subconsciously looked up at the clock on the wall. The slightly thicker hour hand and the slightly longer minute hand were pointing directly upward at the same time. Only then did he realize that, unknowingly, he had been looking at it for more than three hours.

.

Seeing a member of his team asking about it, Xiao Zhengwen didn't hide it. He stood up, moved his limbs on the spot, and told the other person: "Contact the film company for me and say that we can already discuss the contract.

."

The team member nodded obediently, thought for a while, stopped again, and asked him tentatively: "Boss, do you think this animation is good-looking?"

Xiao Zhengwen smiled and said: "What? You advocated the introduction of "is"?"

The team member smiled and accepted it as acquiescence.

"Well done," Xiao Zhengwen recalled his viewing experience just now, and said frankly: "To say how exciting it is, it's not that great. It should be ranked at an above-average level among harem dramas. This kind of subject matter and

Setting it up, it’s impossible to make a big splash, but it should be okay to make a small fortune. In short, you did a good job this time, keep up the good work.”

The team members who received the praise nodded repeatedly and left with satisfaction.

It has to be said that whether it is Yueqi Video or Yunsu Video, the speed of reviewing animation works by these two companies is still very fast. In less than three days, Mujiuxing received responses from both sides.

As Mu Xingxing suspected, both companies expressed their intention to purchase the exclusive broadcast rights of "is".

The conditions given by Yueqi are exclusive broadcast rights and a buyout fee of 2 million. Yunsu also requires exclusive broadcast rights and a buyout fee of 1.2 million.

For this price, Muxiuxing is not surprised.

It is not only the problem of piracy that has always affected the development of the animation industry. The production cost of animation itself is slightly higher than that of TV series, but the broadcast licensing fee is often far behind that of TV series. Because the cost is too high, it is simply expected to be recovered by selling exclusive broadcast rights.

The cost is basically impossible.

If you want to recover the cost, you still have to look at the popularity of the animation after it is broadcast. The higher the popularity of the animation, the better its peripheral derivatives will sell. Whether it is an exclusive broadcast license fee or a non-exclusive broadcast license fee, these are secondary.

, if you want to recover costs, peripheral derivatives are the real big deal.

Mujiuxing did not participate in the remaining specific negotiation matters. Huaying Animation has a special department to resolve the details of business negotiations. After some back and forth, the exclusive broadcast authorization of "is" was finally settled.

In Yue Qi's hands, the transaction method also changed from the original buyout to a share.

Xiao Zhengwen actually doesn't understand why this film company insists on sharing.

After all, the income from animation broadcasts has always been very low. If the animation itself has an average broadcast volume, the profit sharing will often be much greater than the buyout-unless the company that produces the animation has a significant interest in the animation.

Explosive confidence.

But how is this possible?

It's just a harem drama. No matter how popular it is, its upper limit is there. Is it possible that this "is" can break through this wall?

It was precisely because of this idea that when Huaying Animation proposed to give up the buyout and choose a share share, Xiao Zhengwen thought for a few seconds and readily agreed.

In his opinion, "is" is a good commercial animation, but it is only good. Due to the limitations of the future palace series itself, the income from the share should be almost the same as the buyout, or even not as good as the buyout.

Since Huaying Animation insists, let’s split it up.

As for the specific broadcast date...

"Are you planning to schedule it for January?" Xiao Zhengwen looked at the young animation director in front of him in surprise. He frowned and couldn't help but said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. There will be three or four popular animations in January next year.

Among the sequels, we have one on Yueqi, and two animated adaptations of IPs from famous novels will be broadcast on Yunsu Video. You choose this time, be careful in the end you won’t be able to recover the cost.”

It's not that Xiao Zhengwen looks down on "is", but the competition in January next year is really too fierce.

Yue Qi is also well aware of the changes in national policies, otherwise he would not have stepped up efforts to support animation. Xiao Zhengwen knew clearly that as the first batch of animations after the implementation of the new policy, in addition to buying the ones authorized for broadcasting

On video websites, pirated resources will never appear anywhere again.

Not only that, the cheap pirated discs that have been rampant in the past will also be replaced by genuine bds and dvds.

Many animations are rushing to be broadcast at this time. On the one hand, they want to seize this opportunity. On the other hand, it is also the result that the relevant departments want to see - they want to know, with the piracy space being completely suppressed, the animation

What kind of sales volume can it reach?

In other words, those who dare to participate in this January new show competition at this time, even if it is not a sequel to a highly popular animation work, it is an IP adaptation of a famous novel or comic. The animation has not even started broadcasting yet, but it has already been released.

Fans and popularity.

But what about "is"?

Wuming production team, Wuming IP, if it weren't for the plot, which was pretty good, and the CV equipment was luxurious, Xiao Zhengwen might not have bought it.

But now, Mu Xingxing told him that "is" will be included in the January release of famous movies all over the world?

In Xiao Zhengwen's opinion, "is" is just an ordinary vulgar butch harem show. If it were changed to a less asura-like life, it might still be well received by otakus and achieve good results. It can be placed on several TV shows.

During the winter vacation when all the masterpieces are released, isn’t that just looking for death?

Not knowing anything about his worries, Mu Xingxing said naturally: "Yes, I think January is the best time to go online. In addition, if possible, I hope that the specific broadcast time can be set every week.

six."
