How to Develop the King of Anime

Jingu nodded knowingly. The first person to eat crabs naturally made a lot of money. It would be strange if every book in the future had such explosive sales.

"...This business alone is enough for us to stabilize, but it's not enough if we don't think about making progress. How is the library?"

"This is exactly what I want to report to you. The authors of "Bright Eyes Shana" and "Wolf and Spices" agreed to sign a contract with us, and our publishing house will carry out the promotion, packaging and publishing. Since our business has just been on the right track, in order to impress They, I've increased the personal commission of authors who sign with them a little bit."

Keigo Otsuka spoke cautiously, as if he was afraid that his actions would overtake him.

"You can decide these little things Otsuka-kun yourself. As long as it doesn't hurt the company's interests, you don't have to ask me about this kind of thing."

Jingu Yao frowned and said, this is Otsuka Keigo's shortcoming. He is too steadfast in his work. Although his ability to do things is very good, his strategic vision is still a bit poor, and he is a bit forward-looking, but fortunately, this kind of The grand strategy can be formulated by himself, he only needs to do the specific work well, and Jingu Yao also believes that with the accumulation of experience, Keigo Otsuka will definitely be able to get experience and progress, so that he can be freed from the affairs of the publishing house. .

"Hi! In addition to the stable development of existing resources, the company's next work is mainly the creation of magazines and attention to light novels. Of course, we will also publish some traditional novels to diversify our business."

Otsuka Keigo respectfully reported the operation of the publishing house to Jingu Yao. For the only company that is currently developing and is probably the most important company other than Niconico in the future, Jingu Yao is very concerned about this place. of.

Chapter [-] Mr. Agent's Phone

In Jingu Yao's vision, except for Niconico, any other company is not as important and profitable as this publishing house. The future trend of animation production must be light novels, manga-adapted animations, and the ownership of light novels. In the publishing house, animation companies have finished producing animations, and peripheral manufacturers have produced peripherals. When using these copyrights, they all have to pay a certain fee.

Relatively speaking, an animation production company does not make money. It is just an animation production company. Unless the animation company creates its own originality, the income ratio can be high. However, the risk of original animation is too great, and one mistake may lose everything.

But this is nothing to Jingu Yao. He has a lot of light novels in his mind, and it takes a long time for these light novels to be written and adapted into animations. He can do the opposite and do it first. Animation original production, and then looking for someone to write a novel!You must know that many people have never seen the original work before watching the animation, so it does not affect it. In this way, the classics in their minds can appear in this world in the shortest time.

He thought a lot in a short period of time.

"Are there manuscripts for these two books?"

Jingu Yō rubbed his chin and said to Keigo Otsuka.

"Yes, check it out, this is the manuscript revision of the first volume by the editor and the two authors."

Otsuka directly handed over a USB flash drive. There are indeed fewer people writing by hand these days.

After inserting the USB flash drive into the computer, Jingu Yao opened the document and glanced at it. Although he had not read these two novels and only watched the animation before the time-travel, he relied on the basic plot of the animation, and nodded with satisfaction after browsing it.

"Well, that's right. I'll mainly promote these two books recently. Don't stop filling the library. After the first volume of these two books is published, I will give you my new work."

"Hi, President!"

Keigo Otsuka said solemnly, and recorded Yō Jingu's instructions with the pen in his hand.

Jingu Yao opened the financial statement, looked at the data above, and sighed secretly.

The price of "Love in the Sky" is twice as expensive as the light novel. The upper and lower two volumes are a set of [-] yen. The income of this [-] million copies is nearly [-] billion yen. After throwing away the cost and follow-up The publicity expenses and the net profit are also quite considerable, and the most important thing is that if it can sell [-] million copies, it will be a full [-] billion yen in revenue. Although it is not a net profit, it is scary enough.

Jingu Yao carefully recalled that he had read the sales data of light novels before, and remembered that the two novels, "Brightening Shana" and "Wolf and Spices", all the volumes added together, the total sales volume should be one. About [-] million copies, according to the daily price of [-] yen, this is only [-] billion.

And the [-] million sales of these two books is the sum of all the volumes. They wrote a total of forty volumes, and it took several years to accumulate them. The final profit is not as good as this. If the book "Love in the Sky" is strong, you can know how powerful this mobile phone novel is.

Of course, the peripheral profits of popular light novels are much more, which is unmatched by ordinary traditional novels.

Thinking of this, Jingu Yaocai asked: "...General affairs Beichuan said that someone came to the door and wanted to make "Love in the Sky" into a movie?"

"Hey, there's a studio approaching you. But we don't have time for distractions lately, and I don't feel like it's a good time to make your book into a movie, so I've turned it down for now."

"Well, now is really not a good time. If the film is good, it's fine. If the film is bad, it will affect the subsequent sales. It's better to wait for its potential value and find new profit points. ."

Jingu Yao agrees with Otsuka Keigo's decision.

"I have already read the first draft of the magazine you sent me. The content is good and full, but because the magazine involves too many things, I can divide the contents into other magazines in the future. After a while, there will be enough readers. , you can do a survey and count the popular light novels, anime, manga, and games in the past few years. At that time, we can make a ranking list, such as 'this light novel is really good' or something."

Jingu Yao took a sip of coffee, pondered for a while, and then asked, "...Who wrote the script for "LOVE.LIVE"? It's very much to my liking."

"That's Gongye-sensei's work!"

"Teacher Gongye?"

"Hi, Gongye-sensei's full name is Gongye Sakurako. She is a light novel writer. She has written settings for many magazine projects before. After seeing your original settings and plans, she said yes. I was so moved that I volunteered to write a story.”

Keigo Otsuka said with a smile, he flipped through the document in his hand, and read the names that were still somewhat unfamiliar to him, "...Takasaka Honoka, Minami Kotori, Sonoda Kaimi, Ayase Eri, Nozomi Tojo, Maki Nishikino, Rin Xingkong, Kayo Koizumi, Nicole Yazawa... Yes, that's the setting of these nine characters..."

"Well, I'm very satisfied with what Mr. Gongye has written for the time being, let her do it for the time being, but tell her that the content of the story must conform to the readers' voting options, and try her best to write a story that she likes. ."

"I understand, President!"

Keigo Otsuka nodded as he remembered what Jingu Yao said.

"Then, the magazine "SCHOOL.IDOL" should be released before the middle of the month. I will continue to follow up on the planning of "LOVE.LIVE". The promotion of light novels should not be slack, but must be done well."

"Hi, I'll try my best to complete the task!"

"Well, then you go to work."

Keigo Otsuka stood up and bowed respectfully, packed his things and prepared to leave.

Just as he stepped out of the door, Jingu Yao suddenly stopped him again: "...Otsuka-kun."

Keigo Otsuka stopped and looked at Jingu Yao with some doubts.

"Please work hard, our publishing house still lacks a capable vice president."

"Yes!"

Keigo Otsuka's face was overjoyed, he resisted the joy in his heart and came to a [-]-degree bend before he really left.

"Light novel..."

Sitting in his boss chair, Jingu Yao leaned against the soft back and shook his head.
