Teacher, I hate it

Chapter 163 Mechanisms
"Okay, the purpose of holding this meeting today has been achieved, so I won't waste everyone's time. Except for General Secretary Xingjin and screenwriter Imai, everyone can go out." Aragaki Hei, who had almost completed the meeting, risked it again. He came out and said to the employees of Musashino Animation in the conference room.

The employees also knew who to listen to at this time. They looked at each other, stood up, turned around and left the conference room, leaving Yuka Kotsu as the general manager and Midori Imai as the script writer alone.

"General Secretary Xingjin, please tell me about the work that the company is currently doing." After all the irrelevant employees left, Aragaki leaned his back on the back of the chair, crossed his legs, and said He put his elbows on the armrests of the chair, then pressed the fingertips of his hands against each other, and asked Xingjin Yuka.

"Okay president." Yuka Xingjin responded.

"Currently, the company is only engaged in one task, which is to help fill in the original paintings for "Super Space Battleship" produced by A Animation Company. Currently, two-thirds of the original painting tasks required by the first round of commissions have been completed, and according to the current progress , I will probably be able to complete all the original painting production the day after tomorrow and submit the completion application to Animation Company A." Yuka Kotsu said without any hesitation.

"First round?" Aragaki Ping said in surprise.

"President, TV animation is different from animated movies. TV animation is broadcast according to episodes, and there will be a buffer time of one week between each episode, so as long as you are not particularly pursuing completion, or If they don’t want to waste their investment, most animation companies will not produce the entire work at the first time. Instead, they will adopt a production-and-broadcast model like a TV series. However, in this way, although they can maximize the It ensures the use of funds so that investment will not be wasted, but it will also cause broadcasting accidents due to production and broadcasting at the same time——"

"For example, it is clear that the new episode will be broadcast in three days, but the latest episode has not been completed yet. Therefore, in order to prevent the animation from letting go, the relevant production companies will outsource some of the production tasks and original painting tasks to hand over Give it to a company you can trust to receive it, and spend money to buy time so that the animation can be played as scheduled."

"This is also the reason why the company has been commissioned by A Animation Production Company to help draw original paintings this time. "Super Space Battleship" is still being broadcast, and according to the news from the industry, "Super Space Battleship" is This is a semi-annual series, which is a long-running animation with 24 episodes. In other words, before the series of "Super Space Battleship" is completely completed, we may receive another commission from A Animation Company for original painting and production. That's why the first round of comments was made." Because Aragaki Hei said at the previous meeting that he has no preference for animation and will not treat it differently, and is not a non-related person who knows the animation industry very well, so in order for Aragaki Hei to be more With a clear understanding of the animation company's way of survival, Yuka Kotsu explained in more detailed and slightly verbose words.

"Then after this task is delivered, let's stop the OEM task." Aragaki thought for a while and decided.

"Okay." Xingjin Yuka agreed directly without asking the reason.

"The company doesn't have its own animation?" Aragaki glanced at Yuka Kotsu with some admiration and asked again.

"President, are you asking about the ones that have been produced in the past, or are they about to be produced?" Yuka Xingjin asked.

"Tell me everything, so that I can understand the history of the company." Hei Aragaki said with a smile.

"Okay." Yuka Kotsu nodded, and then told the production history of Musashino Animation.

how to say?

It's quite historical.

After all, judging from the data, this company has been established for more than ten years. Although it is still not a well-known high-quality animation production company, it has been able to survive ten years safely in the animation industry that is known as the king of rolls. It should not be underestimated either.

Belongs to the backbone of the animation industry with a relatively good reputation.

This is also the reason why Musashino Animation was able to obtain an OEM commission from Company A, a relatively well-known large animation production company in the industry.

He has also independently produced independent animations with his own copyright.

And he’s done three more.

It’s just that the result is... tepid.There is no sign of a big hit at all, but fortunately, the sales of video tapes and CDs are pretty good, so it is not as bad as losing money because of the production of independent animation, and it will go out of business.

But since then, contract manufacturing has become a regular revenue-generating business for Musashino Animation.

Until recently, Masato Kugawa, the former president who seemed quite cool but actually had his own persistence and love for animation, once again made up his mind to produce his own animation belonging to Musashino Animation.For this purpose, investment was attracted and a production committee was established.

Unfortunately, before the script could be written - while the script was still being finalized, Musashino Animation was fully acquired by Manami Katsura.

Naturally, the animation production committee also announced its dissolution, and the original animation production task was also terminated. OEM has once again become Musashino Animation's current primary business method.

"That's it." Aragaki said suddenly.

"Your name is Midori Imai?" Then, Aragaki turned his attention to the one next to him who was about 1.6 meters tall. He was wearing a yellow suit jacket, a black and white striped dress, and red stockings and black socks with black star patterns printed on them. said a young girl with short boots and long blue hair tied into a side ponytail.

"Yes, President Aragaki." Midori Imai stood up straight and responded loudly.

Looking at that, he seems a little nervous?
"I've read your information. Are you still a college student?" Aragaki nodded, recalling the introduction in the information he saw last night in his mind.

"Yes." Imai Midori became more and more nervous.

It seems that he is worried that he will be fired?

But that's right, as a college student with schoolwork, she couldn't stay in the company full-time. Naturally, she had to worry about whether the new president Aragaki Taira would fire her because of this kind of thing.

If she were a regular worker, she wouldn't have such worries.

"Don't worry, I have no plans to fire you." Aragaki Hei, who noticed Imai Midori's worry, smiled and reassured.

"The reason why I left you alone today is very simple. I need you to provide a script according to my requirements, and then hand it over to Musashino Animation Company for production and broadcast on TV Tokyo." Aragaki said directly out of their own purposes.

As for TV Tokyo, it is a legendary TV station. When an earthquake strikes, it can play earthquake warnings as side advertisements, and then broadcast animation programs on its own, or it can still go its own way during major political events. A strange TV station that broadcasts animation programs instead of imitating other TV stations in conducting live broadcasts, rebroadcasts, and live broadcasts.

It can be said that this is Japan. If it were a TV station from another country, the station director would probably have to change the machine.

But correspondingly, TV Tokyo's bizarre approach has also attracted the love of a large number of viewers who have a soft spot for animation, and in turn has made TV Tokyo a pivotal position in the field of animation.

It can be said that as long as the animation can be broadcast on TV Tokyo, although the CD sales of this animation will not become a hit, it will not cause the production company to lose money. On the contrary, if it goes to other TV stations to grab time, the result will be We really have to leave it to fate.
