Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 121 23. Seeing Through Everything Already

The popularity of Sailor Moon made Kotono Mishishi popular.

At the same time, the CV of Yuki Ling, the heroine of the "Onmyoji" animation, is also Mishi Kotono.

It can be said that from January to April this year, and maybe even longer, Kotono Sanishi will rule the world.

Although there was no seiyuu award this year, it was enough to make Mitsuishi Kotono's name popular all over the country.

Kotono Mishishi kept getting film contracts, and the contract fee had also increased several notches.

Affected by it, the biggest winner should be pokeni company.

……

The cartoon "Onmyoji", except for some reasonable changes, basically follows the original work, that is, it is produced according to the main line in the game.

Coupled with the efforts of Kyoto Animation, the quality of the animation will be better the further you go, especially in the last episode, the battle between everyone and Yamata no Orochi, not only brings Kigami Masaharu's storyboarding skills to the extreme, but also Demonstrated a very high level of production.

No, it should be said to be close to the first-line production level.

This shows that Kyoto Animation has worked very hard.

The high quality requirements and the respect for the original game have won the favor of the players.

Many players even expressed their desire to experience the game "Onmyoji" again after watching the animation.

With the popularity of the "Onmyoji" animation, P agency's game of the same name has been fired.

However, the relationship between pokeni and Rentiantang is not very good now. Hiroshi Yamauchi no longer allows games to log on Rentiantang's platform, which of course includes Onmyoji.

The game cartridges released in the past are fine, without the permission of Ren Tiantian, you simply cannot produce and make new "Onmyoji" series cartridges.

As long as it is produced, it is an illegal act, and Ren Tiantian can sue you for bankruptcy.

Then of course Qing Zhiyuan would not take this risk.

Therefore, the Onmyoji cassettes on the market can be said to be out of stock, and the supply is in short supply. In the past, the sales volume was very good, and basically all the dealers were wiped out. Now there is no new game cassette supply.

It is entirely relying on the mutual transmission, exchange of experience, or private transactions between players, so that more players who want to experience Onmyoji after watching cartoons can play this game smoothly.

After experiencing Onmyoji 1 and 2, many players expressed their desire to collect them.

"It's such a classic game, I only discovered it now, and I really regret it."

"I wouldn't have bought Onmyoji if it wasn't for the anime, but now, after playing Onmyoji, all I can say is—

pokeni is really a god.

Gu Yuan Chunqiu is really hateful, return my Yuumu Ling! "

"Animation is good animation, game is also good game, the two complement each other.

I have never seen an animation adapted from a game. I thought it would be okay to play the game after knowing the plot. However, under the strong recommendation of my friend, I still experienced Onmyoji 1 and 2.
After playing it now, I really feel that the game is very good.

Neon is really lucky to have such a game company.

I hope that Onmyoji 3 can make up for the regrets of the previous two works. "

"Hehe, in Onmyoji 2, we also hoped so, but in Onmyoji 2, you also saw that the old thief Gu Yuan was really not a good person, and he even recruited the trash author Urobuchi Gen.

Onmyoji 2 really made me cry. "

"Don't trust pokeni!"

"Don't trust pokeni!"

"Don't trust pokeni!"

"Say important things three times!"

……

Just when the cartoon sparked the "Onmyoji" craze, and players talked about it with gusto, P Agency revealed an amazing news——

[Onmyoji series will be launched on Sega's MD, not only has a new improvement in picture quality, but also added some small easter eggs]

In this report of Guoletong, there is also a beautiful illustration——

Yuumu Ling hugged her and Ma Cangyuan's child, standing on the top of the mountain, smiling in the sunshine.

【If...the past can be changed】

[So... what will the world look like? 】

This time, countless players directly broke their defenses.

"Nani!? Is it true or not?" As a fan of Pokeni, Gu Chuan Haoze almost dropped his eyes when he saw the report.

Unable to believe this fact, he rubbed his eyes carefully and confirmed it several times.

"Wow, it would be great if it was true. This picture is almost explicit, right? It means that in the new Sega Onmyouji, Yuumu Ling is not dead, so it's a happy ending, right?"

"Although it was not stated explicitly, judging from the pictures and text in the report, it should be true."

"Secretly doing this kind of thing, has Pokeni really discovered his conscience? Has Gu Yuan Chunqiu's conscience discovered it? Has Urobuchi Xuan's conscience discovered it?
Or is our blade finally working? "

"Oh my God, I really cried to death. I have thought about countless times that there would be such a happy ending, and I have been sad for Yuumi Ling for so long. I used to hate pokeni so much, and I hated Guyuan Chunqiu for being so hard-hearted. No Thinking that this day has actually come.

My Yuumu Ling actually came back. "

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

It was so truly reflected in the report of Guo Letong, I was really touched. "

"No, no, no, I think everyone should not be too happy." A rational and calm player poured cold water on everyone's heads.

"Have you forgotten, P Agency also promised this way before, in "The Reverse Man"?"

"Yeah, it was also reported by Guo Letong at the time, saying that there will never be a knife, and the hero and heroine will definitely live well.

That's right, both of them are living a good life, but after the staggered timeline, there is no way to be together again. What is the difference between this ending and death?
Worse than a knife. "

"That's right, so you must be careful when talking about pokeni, you have to take it apart to understand it, and don't be confused by appearances.

Be sure to see the trickery hidden behind it. "

"Yeah, it makes sense. Thinking about it now, the painting showing Yuumu Ling's return is most likely just a dream of Ma Cangyuan, and it's not a fact at all."

"That's right, the picture itself is not clear enough, hazy, you can interpret it as artistic conception, but more likely it is what the official wants to express, which is not true."

"Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think it is. Otherwise, how could Gu Yuan Chunqiu be so kind to players with his pissing nature?"

"Maybe I will be abused again at that time, and come in different ways."

"Uh... After you say that, I don't dare to play this game anymore."

……

That being said, players are looking forward to the new Onmyoji that P Club will release in Sega.

In my heart, I really hope that the report is true. If I can really see Yuumu Ling's return instead of death on Sega, then it can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes.

The more it is because of sympathy and love, the more inexplicably I hope it is true.

……

"Hehe, it really is a useless guy," Ren Tiantang Nakayama Uchihiro sneered twice when he saw the report.

"Did you switch to Sega after being rejected by Ren Tiantang?"

"And Sega is really worthless. Just accepting a rubbish company like Pokeni, no matter how good others say, it can't change the fact that Onmyoji is a galgame."

And galgame is synonymous with garbage games in the heart of Hiroshi Yamauchi.

What's more, Hiroshi Yamauchi frowned angrily every time he thought of Qing Zhiyuan's curse on him at that time.

Arrogant kid, it was the first time for someone like Qing Zhiyuan to humiliate him face to face.

What's more, it is still mixed with a deadly rival like Sega, and so is Sony.

These guys are really insane.

When they get together, they are all people that Hiroshi Yamauchi hates.

There is still a possibility for Sony to cooperate in the future, at least on the bright side, Renten Tendo has dumped it, but Sega and Pokeni are absolutely impossible to become their partners, Hiroshi Yamauchi is very clear about this.

However, Hiroshi Yamauchi hated it, but he didn't take them to heart.

Just like what he said to the media, if you want to challenge Ren Tiantang, those who are capable should give it a try.

From the day Ren Tiantang became the overlord of the game, he was destined to face various challenges.

Only those who really love games can go to the end. This is the philosophy that Hiroshi Yamauchi has always insisted on.

……

"Come on, come on, two presidents, you have worked hard."

In the izakaya, the president of Kyoto Animation, Hideaki Hatta, had a bright face, and raised the bottle to pour wine for Qing Zhiyuan and Tsuda Nao.

Qing Zhiyuan's face was ruddy. It was the first time that he became the father of Party A, and it felt really good to be held in the palm of his hand.

After the animation of Onmyoji ended, Kyoto Animation was very excited.

Because of the recognition of the audience, Kyoto Animation has also gained a good reputation. The most important thing is that the level of Kyoto Animation has improved a lot in the past few months.

Of course, the sweat and heartache during this process is also unusual, and sometimes the members are so tired that they really want to smash something to vent.

Fortunately, it all survived.

Hatta Hideaki was even more surprised——

Although it has always been compared with "Hatsu Sakura Wars" produced by Risheng Animation, it has become more frustrated and courageous, and even won the recognition of many audiences later.

Although there is such a big gap with others in terms of painting standards, the ratings are inexplicably good.

Hatta Hideaki didn't think much about it until now.

"No, no, it's because of your hard work." Qing Zhiyuan raised his glass, "To President Hatta, to Supervisor Kigami, and to Kyoto Animation."

Several people clinked their wine glasses and took a sip each, feeling extremely cheerful while being slightly speechless.

Although Qing Zhiyuan was in a good mood, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

The progress of Kyoto Animation is not small.

But Pokeni has lost a lot.

It's hard to believe that Neon, as the kingdom of animation, can still lose money after achieving good ratings?
But in fact, this is the case. If the TV station does not subsidize the cost, then the main income of cartoons will come from the sale of video tapes, and in the future it will be from the sale of CDs.

For a 13-episode season, about 4 to 6 volumes of videotapes can be produced, and a complete set of season series videotapes can be sold for about 2 yen.

It sounds like a lot, but things like cartoons can't compare to the sales of games.

In the history of neon, it is considered a very good achievement to be able to sell more than 2 copies of Leiping (cumulative average quantity per set). If it exceeds 4 copies, it can be said to be a masterpiece. If it exceeds 10 copies , can become the top three in history.

In the previous life, until 2023, the number one cartoon was "Neon Genesis Evangelion" in 1995, with a record sales of 20.9.

But for games, there are hundreds of thousands, millions, and even super Mario, which exceeds tens of millions.

For the Onmyoji animation, Qing Zhiyuan is well aware of it, the ratings are good, half of the reason is because of the popularity of the next door Risheng animation, otherwise it would not be possible to have such a good result.

Then the sales volume of videotapes can be imagined, and it has been less than 3000 until now.

This has exceeded Qing Zhiyuan's expectations.

Tired level 3000, the total sales volume is 12000 pieces, calculated according to 5000 yen per piece, then the sales volume is only 6000 million, and the production cost must be deducted.

It can be said to be a blood loss.

Fortunately, Qing Zhiyuan invited DUN to share the burden in advance, otherwise the 2 million would be a waste of money.

As for Kyoto Animation, they use money to do things. When Pokeni contracted the animation to them, the income of 2 million yuan was theirs. The remaining video tapes sold and income have nothing to do with Kyoto Animation.

The only way to make money is to find ways to save costs during the production process, but the problem is that Kyoto Animation, which wants to prove itself too much, burns a lot of funds, and in the end, I don’t have much money left.

Among them, the real moneymaker is DUN.

Because DUN not only has live-action videos of Onmyoji, but also has a lot of peripheral products. After all, this company was originally a toy maker, and it revolves around Yuki Ling, Asakura Yuan, Kurai Yue...even Yamata no Orochi. A lot of corresponding toys.

With the animation of Onmyoji playing, these toys will naturally sell for a price.

In comparison, the 1 million invested in animation seems nothing.

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Tsuda Nao.

What a fox.

……

Several people chatted for a while while drinking.

"Next, should we continue to make new animations?" Hatta Hideaki poured Qing Zhiyuan a glass of wine and asked attentively, "If your company wants to continue to make "Onmyoji 2", please give it to us .The price can be cheaper."

Tsuda Nao next to him smiled without saying a word.

Whether there can be a second cooperation, probably depends on the sales volume on MD, Tsuda thought, if pokeni's new onmyoji can sell well, it is still possible to make back the losses of this part.

However, due to the businessman's sense of smell, Tsuda is not very optimistic about this.

"Ah."

But beyond her expectation, Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

With the first cooperation experience, and JingAni after tempering, the current technical level, experience, and personnel reserve have all been greatly improved.

If there is a basis for cooperation, of course we must continue to cooperate.

The future of KyoAni is boundless.

"Great, thank you for your trust in us!"

"However," Qing Zhiyuan interrupted, "Onmyoji 2 is not in a hurry. The animation we want to commission is another one, but I just don't know if you have enough people."

Ok?
Isn't it Onmyoji 2?
Next to him, Nao Tsuda raised his eyebrows and looked at Qing Zhiyuan in surprise.

This guy really doesn't play cards according to common sense.

……

What Qing Zhiyuan wants to make is Pokémon.

"This game has not been released yet, so it is still in the confidential stage, but the settings have basically been perfected."

Qing Zhiyuan also came prepared today, with a simple plan, to give a few people a taste of their eyes.

I roughly explained the game settings, the main line is quite simple——

An elementary school student named Xiaozhi brought his own Pokémon to fight all the way to defeat the enemy.

"For the rest, there is only a story outline, and the rest will be handed over to Kyoto Animation for production. There is a lot of content left to be filled, but it also means that you have more room to play."

Hatta Hideaki, Kigami Masaharu and Tsuda Nao probably had a preliminary impression in their hearts after watching it.

I have to say that the creativity of pokeni is really endless, and people can get the selling point of the game at once.

"Such a cute pet is very attractive to both children and adults."

Kigami Masaharu stretched out his hand and gently stroked the electric mouse named Pikachu on the drawing paper, evaluating in his heart how much potential this guy could bring.

"So how many episodes are expected to be produced for this cartoon?" Hideaki Hatta asked.

"I hope the first part will be about 50 episodes. If possible, I hope to keep doing it." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Huh?!" Hideaki Hatta and Masuji Kigami were obviously taken aback.

"The specific content, we can discuss it in a formal meeting later," Qing Zhiyuan said after pondering for two seconds, "But we hope to broadcast it simultaneously in August this year."

"Ah... that's it." Hideaki Hatta thought, he was a bit rushed in time, but it wasn't that there was no room for manipulation. If it could be followed, it would take two weeks to finalize the content of the script, and it would be completely in time for production.

"Please give us some time to think about it. Kyoto Animation will make a detailed plan according to your company's requirements, and President Qing will make a judgment at that time."

"Okay, it couldn't be better." Qing Zhiyuan laughed.

……

On the way back at night, Qing Zhiyuan and Tsuda Nao walked on the slope full of cherry blossoms.

Tsuda folded his hands and walked while thinking about something.

"Qing Sang, you can talk about Pokémon with Kyoto Animation in private, why did you say it in front of me today? It's not like your style."

It should be said that Qing Zhiyuan is more and more able to hide himself.

But today it is really rare to be so straightforward and unabashed.

Qing Zhiyuan stretched out his hand, grabbed Tsuda Nao, and pulled her back into his arms.

The two were stuck together, staring at each other.

Qing Zhiyuan smiled slyly, put his arms around Nao Tsuda's waist, and whispered in her ear, "We can authorize DUN to produce peripheral products, but pokeni will have to take the bulk of the money we earn.

How about [-] points? "

"sure."

Nao Tsuda responded coldly and decisively with a smile, hardly thinking at all.

Qing Zhiyuan's mouth twitched slightly.

Tsk tsk, this guy has already seen through everything, right?
