A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 131 Transformation and the Animation Market

A periodical serializes so many works, in fact, many readers do not read all of them.

Especially the journal Liulise, which serialized twenty works.

Many people have limited time or the taste of the work does not match his hobbies. All in all, they watch selectively.

At this time, what kind of work does the reader read, the emphasis of the journal on the promotion of the work is an important factor, and then the ranking of the work in the journal.

Of the 17 works serialized in the journal Liuli Color, [-] of the creators behind them are long-term contract novelists of Liuli Book Club, and only three of them belong to the state of only signing works.

In addition to Xia Yan, the works of the other two, like the parasitic beast, belong to the low publicity status of the book club, so the ranking is not high, and it has been serialized for more than half a year, and it is still in the bottom six of the journal ranking.

But the parasite
Chapter 1 was 14th, but in Chapter 5, it was 8th?

Inside Liuli Publishing House, many insiders also began to pay attention to this work at this time.

"This Yuanqing really has two brushes."

Xia Yan only has two or three million yuan in cash left on him now. Considering that the past few works still have a monthly passive income of around eight or nine million yuan, and the three or four million yuan he received for serializing novels for four or five chapters a month at Liuli Book Club .
According to the plan, Xia Yan wants Moyuan to start broadcasting in the summer of April next year, and Xia Yan's total assets should be around 900 million by then.

"I remember that it took four months for Jiang Jing's last novel to climb to the eighth place in this journal. It was only with the support of many resources and publicity from the book club that it climbed so fast. And Yuanqing's parasitic Beast, it only took a month, and it’s still almost zero resource blessing, it’s really outrageous.”

"A top-notch novelist can only be born when resources are tilted, one's own strength is blessed, and a little luck, and the works written are just in line with the trend of the light novel market at that time. Yuanqing's words do feel that the potential is indeed sufficient, but it is not as good as a large bookstore. After signing a long-term contract, how can I compete with fellow novelists who have potential and resources?"

Like some popular animations, which can increase the ratings of TV stations, they are being scrambled by many TV stations. The copyright of the TV station alone can fetch tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of high prices.

That's right, if many animations want to be broadcast on TV stations with a little traffic, they need to pay the TV station.

The magic circle animation is not only to be broadcast on TV stations, Xia Yan also wants the magic circle to be broadcast on the first-class TV stations.

For example, I have never heard of Huaming. When it was broadcast on "Modu tv4", the animation production company behind it found a lot of connections. It took a sum of money to get it done.

"The readers of this novel are basically accumulated by fans' word-of-mouth promotion. As long as an interesting work is serialized in a high-traffic journal like "Liu Li Color", it will be a matter of time before it becomes popular. The resource blessing can only speed up this speed , but how should I put it, the speed at which the popularity of the parasitic beast is rising is a little too fast, which makes me feel a little frighteningly fast."

And it is indeed the same as what Yao Jiyong said, Unheard Huaming started broadcasting with a ratings of about 1% at the beginning, and then it rose to 3% ratings by relying on its own quality, and the quarter’s new animation ranked second in the ratings. of.

"The third level is TV5, 6, and 7 in the imperial capital, and TV 4, 5, and 6 in Shanghai, and TV stations in some popular provinces. Generally speaking, the movies, TV dramas, animations, etc. that are broadcast on them have high ratings. It will not exceed 2%. As for the local TV stations in other backward provinces, let’s not discuss those who are not in the stream.”

It is reluctant that the child cannot catch the wolf.

"I hope so."

One-on-one service, super VIP guidance, but it took Xia Yan four months to get his driver's license. The process can only be described, but it is difficult to describe it in words.

As for the Liuli Book Club, it is also divided into several departments. Many people don't care so much after seeing the novel potential gradually revealed by the parasitic beast.

Of course, Mo Ran later tricked a few friends into joining the comic club as a registered name, at least to stabilize the situation that the comic club was abolished due to insufficient members. However, if the club has no business results for a long time, it will be abolished sooner or later.

And today.
The reason why Xia Yan came to the company was to hold a meeting to discuss one matter.

Why worry about the broadcast fee at this time?
This is Magical Girl Madoka, not some bad street animation.

He can't do it if he doesn't accept it. This is the market of Longguo's animation industry.

Of course, the situation of paid broadcasting is only done by the works of some not well-known animation companies.

"You guys go down first. I will find a way to invest in the advertising space of the magic circle."

"Similarly, the second-tier TV station is between 500 and 800 million yuan, and the third-tier TV station, the advertising fee for this animation broadcast is between 200 million and 400 million yuan."

"I hope she won't be rejected again for her new comic submission. Otherwise, she will be downcast, and it will be embarrassing for me to participate in club activities."

With the blessing of zero resources, Parasitic Beast ranked eighth in the "Liu Li Color" journal, which convinced many employees of Liu Li Publishing House.

Is it possible to prevent the magic circle from being broadcast on TV stations, and directly sell animation CDs to let it grow wildly in the market and ferment itself?
This is a magic circle, this is too shabby.

Of course, does this good mean that the former will be better than the latter in terms of absolute ratings? This depends on the quality and interestingness of the work.

He has a good sense of Mo Ran, but at least he hasn't gotten any valuable works from Yuanqing's memory recently, which are very suitable for serialization into comics.

Otherwise, it is likely to cooperate and cooperate, just like one and Murata in the parallel world. In the later period, various creative differences caused the progress of One-Punch Man comic serialization to stagnate.

Xia Yan was silent for a while, and let the animation director Yao Jiyong go to work first.

"There is a high probability that he will wake up later."

On what platform will Magical Girl Madoka be broadcast?

But the animations that can be broadcast on popular TV stations are basically big companies with big productions.

Two days later, Xia Yan came to the driving school to take the last part of the driving test, and got his driver's license on the spot after the test.

Otherwise, if she really wants to enter the comics industry, Xia Yan really does not resist working with her. After all, her drawing skills are really good, not inferior to professional cartoonists, and
If you really want to find someone to cooperate with comics, Xia Yan must find a partner who is not utilitarian.

This money. I want to buy a first-tier TV station. It seems to be a little short.

Yao Jiyong, the animation director of Magic Circle, looked at Xia Yan with a serious expression at the moment.

While excitedly fantasizing about when and where to go to the car shop to get the first car in his life, Xia Yan took a taxi to the company headquarters of his "Xia Tang Animation Company".

From the production to the broadcast of an animation, it is necessary to discuss and communicate with all parties. In many cases, Xia Yan, the person in charge, must be present to sign.

But even so, the non-prime time slots of the first-tier TV stations are better than the prime-time slots of the second-tier TV stations.

"Should I choose to broadcast it on TV? Or. Directly sell animation CDs, and then rely on the natural operation of the market to determine the performance of our work."

Commercial bookstores pay attention to the word profit.

A person with strength and achievements will naturally change other people's perception of you.

Because it means that other TV stations have advertised your animation, so that when your work sells peripherals in the Two-dimensional market, only people who sell copyright will buy it.

"That's true"

"So boss."

But it's just recent words. Xia Yan can only hope that the members of the light novel club she cooperates with are really capable.

However, Xia Yan's total assets are only about 2000 million. After investing in this company, he spent some cost to upgrade the company's equipment and instruments, plus the 600 million production fee scheduled by Madoka Magica.

Xia Yan was a little distracted in class.

"These are all the result of market selection. This only shows one thing. Compared with many other works in the same journal, Parasite is much better in the hearts of readers."

In this regard, Mo Ran is indeed quite suitable, with good painting skills, cheerful, lively, and magnanimous personality.

That night, the operation department of Liuli Publishing House was making adjustments to the operation thinking of the work Parasitic Beast.
Inside Modu University.
Xia Yan concentrated on watching the lecture given by an old gray-haired professor on the podium.

And many small animation companies can't afford the "advertising fee" to the TV station, so they choose to directly release high-definition animation discs and sell them directly in the market.

Mo Ran saw that Xia Yan really didn't have time, and she didn't have the intention to collaborate with her in creating comics for the time being, but her head was on other people's heads
For example, there are some potential newcomers in the light novel club of Shanghai University. She and the vice president of the light novel club are roommates. Prepare to do what Xia Yan said, that person writes the plot, and Mo Ran draws comics. I want to make a big business
In this regard, Xia Yan expressed his support.

"In the journal "Liu Li Color", the top six works are all transferred from "Liu Li", and there are many readers of "Liu Li" who support it. It is normal that the popularity is high. Putting aside these six works Speaking of it, it can be said that the eighth pick of Parasitic Beast can be regarded as a work that beats all ordinary long-term authors, and has achieved a very good result."

It has been several months since school started, and Xia Yan's daily life is basically studying, and when he has time, he will go to the comic club to communicate with Mo Ran to learn some knowledge about music painting.

Xia Yan actually doubts how strong the members of the light novel club in the university are in novel creation, not to mention whether their contributions can be serialized in the seven major book clubs of Longguo, even if they are submitted to Hongfeng Literature, can they Overserial meetings are a big problem.

"Although the animation of Magic Circle has just started to be created, we already need to decide what route this animation will take."

Investing in it, the more you invest, the greater the return.

After scolding Zhenhe in my heart, I also accepted this fact.

"It can only be said that Yuanqing's No. 1 title of New God is really gold."

In Longguo, after more than half of the animations are produced, they will basically be broadcast on TV stations.

The first-grade TV station, first of all, the broadcast fee starts from 1000 million, and its own company also meets the setting of an unknown small animation company. Even if they sell broadcast positions, it is only a non-prime time period.

"Of course it will be broadcast on TV." Xia Yan said after hearing the words.

"Well, if it is broadcast on the TV station, how much is the advertising fee for the TV station?" Xia Yan looked at Yao Jiyong and asked.

At the same time, you broadcast news on Shanghai TV1, and you broadcast adult action love movies on Shanghai TV3. The ratings of the former will definitely be blown by the latter.

"If he doesn't have a strong head and signs a long-term contract with the book club, I can basically tell that the book club will definitely treat him as a treasure after seeing the results of the parasitic beast at this time, and start planning to sell it to the top novelists in the Dragon Kingdom. It's a pity that the mainstay novelist of the book club has come to train."

But since Parasitic Beast has shown extremely high value, after weighing the pros and cons, the publishing house feels that the short-term benefits obtained by supporting the novel Parasitic Beast are a more profitable choice under the current situation, and of course they will choose to support it without hesitation. Parasite.

"For a first-tier TV station, the advertising fee is about 1000 million to 2000 million. The specific figure depends on the quality of the work, popularity and broadcast time. If it is a highly popular animation, then the first-tier TV station will even spend more. Money competes to buy broadcasting rights. Animations produced by lesser-known animation production companies will definitely not be sold during prime time, and the fees will be high.”

Xia Yan, as the actual controller of this company, can't really leave everything to his employees to handle.

Modu tv4 is a TV station with the third-grade ratings, that is to say, when the unheard of Huaming was broadcast on it, the production company Jiuyou spent at least two or three million yuan to buy broadcasting slots.

The reason for choosing to support long-term contract authors is that long-term contract authors can bring long-term benefits to the book club.

But seeing her talking about it so excitedly, the story the other party brought up should be interesting.

"There are four most popular TV stations in the Dragon Kingdom. The first grade is Imperial City TV1, 2, and Magic City TV1, 2. If the quality of the TV stations is high enough, the ratings of the TV stations can even reach 5%, 6% or more. Followed by Imperial Capital TV3, 4, and Modu TV3, all three belong to the second grade, if some high-quality TV dramas and animations are being broadcast, they can have 3% or 4% of the audience rating."

Yao Jiyong paused for Xia Yan to digest and said.

Although the publicity of such works is small, the cost is also small, and the income will be small, but in many cases it will make a small profit.

Those who used to laugh at Xia Yan as a young man with high spirits and low fate also changed their mouths at this time.

Xia Yan understood clearly.

"I have to figure out a way, look where I can find a few million funds, and try to get Magical Girl Madoka to broadcast on TV1, 2 of the Imperial City or TV1, 2 of the Magic City, even if it is a non-prime broadcast time period. means to fight for."

Money is really a thing, and it feels like it is never enough.

Xia Yan sighed.

　It's not a lazy disease to be pure Calvin tonight. Chapter 2 will be released ten minutes later.
