Chapter 25
Monday, June 5th.
At about nine o’clock in the morning, Makoto Takagi came to the company.
I didn’t go to work until ten o’clock, but by this time, people were almost there.
“President.”
“Hello, President.”
“Good morning, President.”
Many people took the initiative to greet Takagi Makoto.
Takagi Makoto smiled and responded one by one.
The success of animation can bring many hidden benefits.
Before the change, there might be only three or five people coming to the company at nine o’clock, and it won’t be almost until ten o’clock.
But now, the DOS people are all red, as if they have been beaten up. Maybe some people are here at 7 or 8 o’clock. Where can they wait to get ten?
In addition, many people who were dug into DOS later had some complaints about DOS at first, but now there is no one complaining.
Nakajima, Eijiro Watanabe, and Shingo Kitagawa, who thought they were pitted at the beginning, don’t know how much they are grateful to Makoto Takagi.
Of course, the three of them don’t admit that they were scammed at the beginning. What they say to the outside world is how wise and wise they are. At a glance, they can see that DOS has the talents of the gods, and the president Takagi Makoto is a former colleague and friend. So take the initiative to jump over.
Although Makoto Takagi heard about it, he never took the initiative to reveal it.
“President, I have your courier, and I signed it for you.” Esaka Noe suddenly said to Takagi Makoto.
“Express? Mine?” Takagi Makoto was very puzzled.
He is so busy every day, he has no time to buy things online, so this thing can only be sent to him by someone else.
But……
Who is so enthusiastic that he actually took the initiative to send him something?
He looked in the direction of Esaka Noe’s finger and saw a small express box, so he walked over and opened the box.
Then, a bunch of bright blades came into view.
Takagi Makoto: (・ω・`ll)
I thought it was something to eat, but it turned out to be a box of blades.
In addition to the blades, there is a note in the box that reads: “Old thief Takagi, you have lost my style. Send you a box of blades, so you can do it yourself!”
Takagi shook his head slightly, threw the note into the trash can, and then moved the box with the blade to the utility room for storage.
This is just the beginning, and it is estimated that more blades will be received in the future.
Save it, and maybe one day you can make a fortune by selling blades.
“Esaka.”
“President, what’s the matter?”
“You remember to check the express delivery to the company in the future. Don’t accidentally receive a bomb and blow up our company.”
“President, you really love to joke.”
“No, no, I’m serious.”
The possibility of this kind of thing is almost zero, but it can’t stand DOS to do a lot of tear gas animation.
Be careful.
After talking to Esaka Noe, Takagi Makoto went into his office, immersed himself in work, and sat down for a long time.
afternoon.
Kawano Akino came to DOS.
Makoto Takagi invited Akino Kawano into his office, and after some greetings, he said, “Ms. Kawano, should the production cost of CL increase?”
“Why do we need to increase funding? Now that the funding of 12 million yuan per sentence is not well done?” Kawano Akino asked with a smile.
“The funds are never too much.” Takagi Makoto replied very seriously.
Kawano Akino shook his head slightly and changed the subject directly: “The release date of the first volume of the DVD has been confirmed, June 21.”
“Oh.”
Takagi Makoto responded and said he knew.
On June 21, which is the next Wednesday, at this point in time, the eleventh episode of the animation has already been broadcast, and the twelfth episode will be broadcast soon.
However, selling discs is not about making an animation with more than 20 episodes into a complete set and selling directly. Basically, it is divided into several volumes and sold one volume by volume. The number of words in each volume is sometimes two episodes, sometimes Three words.
When the last volume is sold out, a full collector’s edition may be released, but that is another matter.
Generally speaking, the sales volume of animation does not refer to the total sales volume, but the average sales volume of a single volume.
It is also worth mentioning that there are two types of discs, one is DVD and the other is BD.
The capacity of DVD is relatively small, the picture quality is not high, but the price is relatively cheaper. In addition, the popularity of DVD players in island countries is very high.
BD is a Blu-ray disc with large capacity and high picture quality, but the price is relatively higher, and the DVD player cannot play the Blu-ray disc, so it is more troublesome.
In a few years, the disc market will basically be parallel to DVD and BD, but now it is 2006. At this time, the disc market is still the world of DVD, and there is nothing BD at all.
On the CL side, the distribution of animation has been given to Qianchuan, and the release of DVD is naturally also for Qianchuan to communicate with the disc company.
However, Akino Kawano came to DOS in person, mostly not just to tell him the news, there may be other things.
Sure enough, he soon heard Kawano Akino say: “The people at the disc company have discussed with us, in order to stimulate the sales of animation, you may need your cooperation.”
Makoto Takagi froze for a moment, and soon joked: “Which photo of the beauty of our company is needed? Although they may not agree, I can help.”
Kawano Akino: “…”
Takagi Makoto: “Why? Don’t you want the portrait photos of beautiful women? Do you still want me?”
“Why do you think it is a portrait photo?” Kawano Akino couldn’t help asking.
“In order to stimulate sales, isn’t this a routine operation?” Takagi Makoto replied.
It is indeed a normal operation.
After all, the animation has been broadcast on TV, and most people who buy DVDs have also watched it on TV.
Obviously I have watched it on TV, why buy a disc?
Maybe the quality of the animation itself is very high and worthy of collection, so I will buy it specially.
It is also possible that when it was broadcast on TV, one of the words or certain words was missed. In this case, you will probably buy a disc to make up for it.
Another possibility is that buying discs can get benefits that are not available on TV.
Therefore, in order to stimulate sales, many disc companies will give away photo photos of voice actors when they sell discs. Therefore, if an animation sets up a production committee, they may ask the animation to choose voice actors who can sell meat. After all, disc companies often Both are members of the production committee.
It is strange that the disc company that Qianchuan approached did not find an animation voice actor to cooperate, but instead wanted DOS to cooperate.
However, if you put a few pictures of DOS beauties on it, Makoto Takagi thinks it is feasible.
Not to mention, although the scale of DOS is very small, there are still two or three beautiful women, such as the original artist Ishikawa Akane who is responsible for the layout.
Esaka Noe is a little petite, but she can also be regarded as a beauty, and even in the eyes of some people, Esaka Noe may be the most perfect beauty.
Of course, it cannot be said that a woman is a beauty, but Makoto Takagi has more contact with Esaka Noe and Ishikawa Akane.
Kawano Akino naturally didn’t know what Takagi Makoto was thinking and thinking. She first glanced at Takagi Makoto with a strange look, and then said: “CL is different from those harem animations. You don’t need to take photos of anyone as a benefit. .”
After hearing this, Takagi Makoto stopped joking, and said sternly: “If this is the case, how should I cooperate here?”
“Signature, your own autograph, in addition, if you have time, you’d better draw a few more character posters.” Kawano Akino replied.
“That’s it.”
Takagi was inexplicably lost in his heart, but quickly said, “No problem, I’ll find a time to paint.”
