A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 166 Current Situation and Conversation

6.03%
It is the average ratings of Magical Girl Madoka No.12 episodes. Its highest instant ratings were 6.39% at the end, and the lowest when it started broadcasting, still hovering in the range of 5.8%.

But after all.
This episode still broke 6% ratings.

This is no longer in the field of animation, but the TV dramas, variety shows, animations, movies, adventures, outdoors, documentaries and many other programs in Longguo's summer market from April to June this year, with the highest ratings.

A truly phenomenal work in the Longguo cultural works market this year.

Magical Girl Madoka's popularity soared so fast that it reached the entire TV industry, and the animation industry didn't have time to react, so they just saw her stand out, leaving the competing works of the same period far behind.

Even the employees in Xia Yan's company couldn't believe it at this moment.

In fact, they have been dizzy since the breaking ratings data of the ninth episode of this animation appeared.

A group of remnants from the animation industry, many of whom were rejected by other companies, who had a bad relationship with the leaders and left, all got together to create such an animation.

It felt like being hit by a pie from the sky, and they were dizzy.

Especially Yao Jiyong, the animation director of Magic Circle, do you know what the industry is calling him now?

An animation wizard who is rare in ten years, has been in the industry for 20 years, only sharpening his sword for the present.

Yao Jiyong himself didn't sleep last night, and he was ashamed to death after watching the industry's comments that praised him all night.

He is very clear that for the works he played in this animation, strictly speaking, he has done most of the duties of the director, which are the basic skills of animation creation.

The art style of this work is determined, the painting style is determined, the performance of the battle scene is determined, the music style is determined, and even the creation of music
Xia Yan is largely involved in it.

Although he does not know much about animation production, he will give advice.

And it's not the kind of suggestion made by a layman. His suggestion, which determines the style of the key parts of the work, has been proven in the market, and it is all correct.

I don't know how this animation layman has such a vicious vision. I don't understand anything, but the suggestion I made is so useful.

Could it be that he is also a genius in the field of animation production?

Yao Jiyong fell into deep thought.

But these things are not known to the outside world, and they all think it is the credit of his director Yao Jiyong.

He certainly enjoys being touted by the industry, too.

Yao Jiyong knew that his [-]-year experience in this industry, which was unknown to the public, was now over.

From today onwards, he has officially joined the ranks of the top animation directors in the Longguo animation industry.

He is the chief animation director of Magical Girl Madoka Magica. With this background, he can enjoy the dividends of Magic Circle's works in the industry until he retires.

So when he came to the company today, when he saw Xia Yan, the chairman of the company, the smile on his face definitely came from the heart.

The company's three directors, Xia Yan, Song Lingyun, and Tang Yin were all present, and there were not many people in the company, so everyone was called to the conference room for a meeting.

At the meeting, Xia Yan's first sentence made everyone feel excited.

"Magic Girl Madoka. The animation was a big success. Everyone's bonuses will not be less."

Magical Girl Madoka has achieved such excellent results, it can be said that the production investment of the work will be at least ten times that of the animation market, and more than twenty times will be returned to the company.

There will definitely be employee bonuses.

And it will be rich.

Xia Yan is not a stingy person, he is very clear about this, no matter how talented a stingy boss is, it is useless, the company will definitely not develop.

The dividends of his parasitic beast's booklet are basically all in the account now.

It has been published for half a year, and there are a total of six volumes of booklets, with an average sales volume of 560 million copies. The total sales volume of the whole work booklet in Longguo is more than [-] million copies.

The money was not transferred directly to Xia Yan's personal bank account, but to a company "Blue Star Culture" established by Xia Yan.Otherwise, more than 30.00% of personal income tax will be deducted, which is too high.

And the amount deposited in Xia Yan's company account was around 700 million.

As for the use of the money, Xia Yan lent all of it from "Blue Star Culture" to "Xiatang Animation" in the name of borrowing.
Reserved for the production cost of the animation "The Story of Rebellion" for the theatrical version of Magical Girl Madoka Magica.

All in all, Xia Yan didn't understand these words, but the people in the legal department of Liuli Book Club knew very well. They knew what rich novelists like them would do with the money, and had already prepared some reasonable tax avoidance plans for them.

"However, the payment of bonuses will be delayed for a while." Xia Yan made it very clear.

"Because all the money in the company's account is now used to produce the theatrical version of Magical Girl Madoka's "Rebellious Story"."

As soon as the words came out, the employees also expressed their understanding.

No matter how popular the magic circle is, it will have to wait for the sales of the works in the peripheral and Two-dimensional markets to make money.

Now the whole company has been established for half a year, so far.
No money came in, and all three directors contributed money to support it.

Later, Tang Yin borrowed 100 million from her father and friends to invest in the company. Later, Song Lingyun also made millions because of the popularity of her new novel "Blade of the Other Side", and also lent this money to the company. Xia Yan.

After all, when the magic circle animation was broadcast on the TV station, Xia Yan still invested as much money as he had in promoting this work and buying popular search terms on search websites.

The 600 million yuan for the main animation of Magic Circle is Xia Yan's copyright income from going to the moon before, which has not been heard of.

The subsequent purchase of 300 million TV stations was made up of Xia Yan's remaining money, the monthly passive income from previous works, the remuneration for the serialization of Parasitic Beast, and several million borrowed from Song Lingyun.

Now that the magic circle animation has just finished, a large group of people from overseas countries have indeed poured in to discuss with Xia Tang animation about the authorization and cooperation of animation broadcast copyright.

But the money will have to wait at least a month or two to arrive.

However, the production of Magic Circle theatrical animation must not only be produced quickly, but also be produced well.

It has to take advantage of the popularity of the magic circle and quickly launch it within three months of the heyday after the end of the tv animation, in order to maximize the benefits.

For the more than 2000 million remuneration for the monograph of the parasitic beast, part of it will be reserved for animation production funds, and part of it will be reserved for the promotional funds for the theater version of Magical Girl Madoka and TV animation BD, and peripheral sales.

In addition, the rent of the company's office building is due, and it has to collect millions to pay the rent.

After all, this is a magical city, and the rent is ridiculously expensive.

Xia Yan really has no way to spare funds to give bonuses to employees.

He wanted to buy a handsome sports car that he had always dreamed of since before he entered college, but he still only stayed in the concept until now.

Really, no money
Xia Yan only now realizes the hardships of those entrepreneurs. With every step, the company needs to expand its business, and the funds needed are geometrically multiplied.

He Xia Yan can earn tens of millions of income for several consecutive works, and if he is so tight, let alone those who start from scratch.

But you only need to hold on for another two months, and wait until the magic circle's animation income comes in one after another
That's totally different.

The income of the magic circle animation is at least calculated in units of [-] million.

After all, the market size of Longguo, or the size of the world's two-dimensional market, is that big.Compared with the market of [-] million people in the island country of the parallel world, it is the comparison between adults and children, not at the same level.

In addition to explaining the company's development goals and directions in the next few months, the content of the meeting.

The most important point is to recruit people.

Magical Girl Madoka Magica tv animation itself is because the funds are limited, there is no way, how much money can do a lot of things.

But the theatrical version of "The Story of Rebellion" is different. The production team should be strengthened if they can. The seventh episode is the same as the eighth episode. Although there are some unimportant screen clips and the protagonist is not involved, the outsourced team's painting made people's faces collapse, and Xia Yan also felt extremely awkward watching it.

After a meeting, everyone in the company left full of fighting spirit.

In the conference room, only Xia Yan, Song Lingyun and Tang Yin were left.

"Where should we go shopping together?" Tang Yin said with a smile on her fair and beautiful face, looking at the two of them.

"I don't care. There are no electives this afternoon. What about you, Song Lingyun?" Xia Yan asked after looking at the time.

"I don't care, I just skip class." Song Lingyun thought for a while and said.

"Hey, you who just entered school and now occupy No.1 in our major, don't say such things lightly, I will feel guilty if I do this." Xia Yan complained decisively after hearing the words.

"Guilt?" Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan in doubt.

"Before you met me, you must have never skipped a class in your life. This made me seem... like a bad friend, leading you to learn bad things." Xia Yan said.

"Well, that's true." Song Lingyun thought about it carefully, nodded, then looked at Xia Yan's stiff expression, and smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth.

"However, that is my own choice to learn bad."

"Come on, why don't you skip elective courses? What's the big deal?" Tang Yin curled her lips.

For several months, Xia Yan and Tang Yin were busy with the broadcasting of the magic circle. Song Lingyun, in addition to participating in the regular voting as a director of the company, had to be busy with the serialization of her new novel The Hidden Blade. When they gathered together, it dates back half a year ago.

The three of them came to the commercial street near the company to eat, drink, have fun and go shopping. Of course, they were on the way.
Both Xia Yan and Song Lingyun met fans who knew them both and asked for a group photo.

Xia Yan and the two hurriedly bought masks and put them on, otherwise some news might be spread by fans in the Longguo Novel Forum community tomorrow.

In the amusement park, Xia Yan manipulated the joystick and played with the claw machine.

"I said Xia Yan, do you have any plans next?"

Sitting on the chair beside her, Tang Yin looked at the grapple controlled by Xia Yan, and suddenly asked.

"Intention?" Xia Yan replied to Tang Yin, but her movements were not affected.

"What's the meaning."

"The company now has a total of 71 people from top to bottom. Basically, there are no newcomers. They are all the backbone of the industry, and their wages are not low. Their monthly salary expenses exceed one million, plus the company's rent, water and electricity, equipment, and operating expenses. The cost has not been low this year. Although Magical Girl Madoka’s income is high, she can’t just sit back and eat. The movie version of this work, which takes more than an hour, will not take long to complete. We have to think about the magic After this work is turned over, the direction of the company's operations has changed."

Song Lingyun was drinking milk tea beside her, with her ears slightly turned, listening carefully to the conversation between the two.

Indeed, as the operator of the company, at least one has to decide the direction of the company's operations long in advance.

The magic circle can be called the god of war in the animation world, and Xia Tang animation also followed the magic circle.

At this time, if Xia Yan wants to have a more ambitious development in the animation industry, he must plan ahead now.

Xia Yan put coins into the claw machine again, his eyes fixed.

"I know."

Starting a company and starting a business is different from Xia Yan's novel writing. After the light novel is finished, it is normal for the author to have no new work for half a year or a year in Longguo.

But animation companies are different. The cost of employees is very high.

"Now I'm so poor that I can't even afford the car I like. I don't have any extra money to support idlers." Xia Yan laughed.

"I will come up with a new animation script as soon as possible."
