NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6
Chapter 6
At ten o’clock in the evening, Takagi Makoto returned home.
Although he is the president of a company, his home is not in a high-end residential area, but an ordinary residential area.
The house was inherited from his parents and there is no need to pay a mortgage, so if you don’t look at the debt, Takagi’s situation is actually not too bad.
There is naturally no one in the house.
Takagi Makoto took a shower, returned to his room, lay on the bed and fell asleep.
He woke up at almost nine o’clock the next morning.
Ten o’clock is the company’s work time. Although it is fine for him to be late occasionally as the president, his own company can definitely lead by example.
In fact, the commuting rhythm of animation production companies is not the same as that of other companies. Many companies in the industry only go to work at two or three in the afternoon, and work until more than ten or more than eleven in the evening.
DOS is a special case. You go to work at ten in the morning, you can take a break for lunch or something, and then leave work at eight in the evening.
Of course, sometimes I’m really busy and I can’t leave work on time, but that’s “voluntary overtime.”
At ten o’clock in the morning, Takagi Makoto showed up at the company on time.
“President.”
Esaka Noe suddenly came to Takagi Makoto.
Others also looked at Makoto Takagi.
Esaka Noe glanced at the people behind Takagi Makoto, and then said, “If we don’t accept outsourcing, what are we going to do next?”
“Do DOS’s own animation.”
Takagi Makoto replied, “The specific plan has not yet been determined, but there will probably be no problems. The animation is a daily campus theme. If you are okay, you can collect relevant information first.”
After speaking, he ignored the excitement and excitement of everyone, and went straight into his office.
After all, Makoto Takagi doesn’t know if there are any problems. After all, Akino Kawano only said that he would reconsider, but he did not say that he would definitely invest.
However, in any case, the CL animation Makoto Takagi must be done, so it doesn’t hurt to reveal a little bit of relevant news first.
Said it was waiting for news, in fact, I don’t know how long to wait. Before Qianchuan gives a reply, I can do something first.
In theory, the first stage of animation production is the planning stage, the second stage is the scripting stage, and the third stage is the design stage. These are preliminary preparations.
After the design stage, formal animation production will take place.
But this is a theoretical situation. In many cases, the various stages will be carried out almost simultaneously.
As for the script, Makoto Takagi has already written the third chapter. Although it would be better to write all the following scripts at once, he is not only responsible for the script.
Don’t worry too much, you can set up a character first.
As a matter of fact, it is generally done to make the original painter who is looking for the person in charge with the person-setting demand list. The original painter designs various roles based on the demand list, but the current situation is, what kind of role is required for each word Makoto Takagi knows everything himself, so there is no need to wait for the production to come to him.
Makoto Takagi was an online original artist before, and he has a deep memory of the CL animation, so it is not difficult to create a character.
However, even if you have the original picture as a reference, drawing a person and designing a picture is very time-consuming, unlike a script, you can come up with a word in twos and threes.
Takagi Makoto drew and painted, and time passed by at a fast speed.
afternoon.
A tall young woman in a white suit came to DOS.
“Hello, I’m Kawano Akino of Chikawa Animation. I have something to ask your president.” The young woman said to someone who looked like a girl passing by.
The girl who looks like a girl is Esaka Noe.
She froze for a while, and quickly said: “Please wait a moment, I’ll tell the president.” After speaking, she hurried to the president’s office.
After a short while, Makoto Takagi came out in person and invited Akino Kawano into the president’s office.
When I couldn’t see it, the people outside couldn’t help but talk:
“Beauty!”
“She said that his name is Akino Kawano, and I don’t know what to do with Kenzo Kawano.”
“People from Qianchuan Animation came to our president. Could it be that Qianchuan invested in our new animation?”
“impossible?”
“On the terms of our DOS, can we still get Qianchuan’s investment?”
“If this is the case, it can only be said that our president is too good.”
…
Inside the president’s office.
Makoto Takagi greets Esaka Noe to serve tea to Kawano Akino.
After some greetings, Kawano Akino said, “I’ll come to see your DOS situation.”
With that, her eyes fell on Takagi Makoto’s desk.
A drawing was placed on the table. It was a beautiful girl with exquisite features and two dull hairs on her head. She was wearing a school uniform and looked soft and weak. She was very cute.
“Is this the human design you drew?” She couldn’t help asking immediately.
“Yes, the heroine’s personal design.” Takagi Makoto nodded.
“Actually, I really know how to design a character!” Kawano Akino was secretly surprised.
Let’s not say that Makoto Takagi was born in production. He has never been an original painter, even if he has been an original painter, it does not mean that he will be a character design, because character design requires a higher level of original painter.
Not only can Makoto Takagi be able to do character design, the image of this heroine designed is also very pleasing, and people can’t help but like it at a glance. This is much stronger than most of the original painters who are in charge.
She thinks that even for such a cute heroine, there will be many viewers willing to pay for the CL animation.
This President Takagi is really a talent.
She thought to herself in her heart, and then said: “I didn’t say that Qianchuan will definitely invest. It’s really okay for you to draw the heroine’s person so quickly?”
“Even if Chikawa doesn’t invest, I will definitely find a way to make the CL animation, so it doesn’t matter if I draw it earlier.” Takagi smiled, “Besides, since Ms. Kawano is here, she must have come with good news. of.”
Akino Kawano did not hide it: “President Takagi, we can invest in DOS’s new animation, but we can invest in the new animation of DOS, but your budget is written at a production cost of 20 million yen. This is too much. It’s impossible to give you so much production funding for an animation with daily themes.”
“There is no 20 million, 18 million is fine.” Takagi Makoto responded.
“What’s the difference between 20 million and 18 million?”
“It’s two million.”
“I can only give you 12 million, not more, and if the sales are not good, you have to cut your expenses. You’d better be mentally prepared.”
“Then if the sales volume is high, is it possible to increase the funding to 20 million?” Takagi Makoto asked.
Kawano Akino was taken aback for a while, and then said: “If you can sell more than 20,000, it is not impossible to increase the funding to 20 million.”
“Sales over 20,000~” Takagi Makoto’s mouth twitched slightly.
In fact, the sales volume of CL in another world did exceed 20,000 in the first quarter. Even when the first volume was released, the sales volume in the first week was close to 20,000. However, the high sales volume is not only because the content is good enough. .
On the one hand, the animated CL is adapted from the game, and the game CL itself has a certain degree of popularity and popularity, which is very important.
On the other hand, the animation CL was adapted by Jingani. Although Jingani at the time was not as famous as later, but also produced several successful works, such as all-metal frenzy and AIR.
In this case, it can also boost sales.
Now, neither the popularity of the game is used to pave the way, and the strength and reputation of DOS itself is far less than Jing Ani. Want to sell more than 20,000 based on the content alone?
Takagi Makoto couldn’t guarantee at all.
“President Takagi.”
Kawano Akino said suddenly, “We are now allies on the same front. Your animation must be successful, otherwise neither of us may have a good life.”
“Huh?” Takagi Makoto didn’t understand what Kawano Akino meant.
Kawano Akino didn’t explain, but just said, “If you have any needs, just tell me, except that the production cost cannot be increased, I can think of other ways to help.”
“In that case, can you find a reliable supervisor for me?” Gao Mucheng said, “There are not enough staff, so you can hire people, you can hire people, you can outsource, but reliable supervision is hard to find.”
“Is it reliable supervision?”
Akino Kawano thought slightly, nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll find it for you.”
