Chapter 209 The Truth

"I'm sorry, Producer Huang, these things are all arranged by the company. Although I think it is very inappropriate to change my mind rashly, and it will cause inconvenience to you, it is indeed the arrangement of the company. I have no choice!"

"Well, I can understand it, and I'm not angry. I just regret that we can't continue to cooperate!" Huang Ming said.

Then he hung up the phone.

It was Xiao Ling's call. Although she temporarily decided to quit the dubbing job of 5 Centimeters per Second and Voice of the Stars, at least the apparent apology call came.

During the phone call with Xiao Ling, Huang Ming could be considered to understand the real reason for the temporary decision of the two.

It's still a deer

A seiyuu can do the dubbing work for multiple works at the same time, so if Xiao Ling and Li Nan really join the animation production of the frozen witch with Lu Mu as the script writer and assistant producer, they will also It will not affect their dubbing work in 5 Centimeters Per Second and Voice of the Stars.

But it was so sudden that both of them chose to give up the dubbing work of Miaowu and Xingzhi.

And now, Huang Ming can be sure that Lu Mu is behind the scenes.

Because it just so happened that Xiao Ling and Li Nan were both fighting for the dubbing of the two important characters in The Frozen Witch, and the other side had sent a message to their agency a few days ago.

If the two want to fight for the dubbing of those two characters, they only need to give up the role of the second five and the voice of the star.

The end result is this.

Huang Ming had a bad expression.

When has he been so angry.

When he was in Jiuxing before, everyone obeyed the rules of the industry. For operations like this, it was good that he didn't use it for others before, but he didn't expect that Lu Mu, a junior in the animation industry, would get him on his head.

Although Lu Mu and Chu Yu have a grievance, it is understandable to do some small things behind their backs, but now the industry basically knows that Huang Ming invested money in the two works of Second Five and the Voice of the Stars, and Lu Mu still does this, obviously he is not giving him any face. .

After all, the influence of this animation studio is too small, so Lu Mu is so unscrupulous.

These two works are Huang Ming's own private investment, and he doesn't want to use some of his connections in Jiuxing to solve this matter.

The senior management of Jiuxing knew that he was doing some low-cost animations by himself. If he didn't come to hold him accountable for his misbehavior, he was already popular in Jiuxing. He also used his relationship with Jiuxing to solve the problem of his own investment animation, then unacceptable.

But it's not too late to avenge this revenge in the future. Now it's better to find the voice actors as soon as possible to fill the vacancy of Li Nan and Xiao Ling!

Of course, in Huang Ming's opinion, the best result is that, just like Chu Yu Weibo's speech, among all the animations broadcast next spring, 5cm per second and The Voice of the Stars will rank first or second in terms of popularity and average episodes, while The frozen witch finally ranked third. Then this feud is really the idea of ​​​​reporting. If this is the case, Lu Mu will definitely be angry.

But Huang Ming shook his head, this possibility is still relatively low.

In his opinion, Chu Yu was just talking about it. After all, the momentum must not be lost in the scolding battle. It is too difficult for the two short animations to achieve this result.

but

Huang Ming thought about it, if the two works of 5 Centimeters Per Second and The Voice of the Stars can really surpass the Witch of Frozen in cumulative episodes on various websites.

Then he and Chu Yu made a lot of money!

After all, they are two short animations. With an investment of 5 million, the speed of 5 centimeters per second can be divided into three episodes of more than ten minutes of animation according to its structure, plus an episode of The Voice of the Stars, the two works add up to a total of It's four episodes of animation.

Judging from the past animation broadcasts of Longguo Network Animation, its payment standard is basically one to two Longguo coins per episode according to the production cost and quality, and the producer's share is generally one-third of the total income. One or so.

Taking the name of the unheard flower as an example, when this work was finished three months ago, that is, before the price of the work was reduced, the number of broadcasts on the entire network was close to 100 million, with a total of 11 episodes, and the average number of episodes was 9 million. The price of the game is two dragons per episode, so the total revenue of this work's single online broadcast is about 200 million, and more than 60 million are distributed to Jiuxing.

Compared with the production fee of 15 million and the promotion fee of 6 million for this work, Jiuxing is directly making a lot of money. After all, there are peripheral income in the later period.

Of course, as the creator of the script, Chu Yu earned less than 3 million from this work, but this is the industry situation.

The animation industry in Longguo is similar to the film industry, except that one sells money on video websites and the other sells money at movie theaters. Who has ever heard of how much income a screenwriter can get? It’s the company that eats the meat and the production staff shares the soup. That's it!

The frozen witch is obviously going to be the spring animation champion, claiming to be more than 30 million production costs.

Judging from the past situation, the works of this kind of investment will have at least 4 million episodes on average between the end of the end and the price reduction after three months.

If the four episodes of animation split by 5cm per second and The Voice of the Stars can have an average playback volume of 4 million episodes, then this work can at least earn about 10 million yuan from a single playback. ?

But in fact, how can the money in the animation industry be so profitable?

For an animation, it is necessary to invest 8 million to 10 million yuan for more than ten episodes. Although the average price of animation viewing is 1 to 2 yuan, it is not a large-scale animation. You have 2 yuan for 1. Who will watch the episode? Audiences are not fools.

Most of Long Kingdom’s general animations are priced at one yuan per episode, but since it’s not a large-scale production of high-quality animations, the playback volume is definitely very low. Such works generally have a playback volume of 10 to 20 million, and counting the playback revenue share, It is only six or seven million in income. If you want to repay the cost, you need to sell peripherals.

Works with 100 million views before the price cut like Unheard Flowers are as rare as pandas.

Generally, it is not bad that a popular animation can finally have 60 million views before and after the serialization period, because after the serialization ends for a period of time, according to the official regulations of Longguo on the film and television entertainment industry, it will be mandatory to watch online. price is reduced.

For animation works, the time period is three months, and the price reduction is 90%. That is to say, after the three months after the end of Unheard Flower Name, the viewing and purchasing fee of two yuan per episode will become two yuan. hair!

However, the income of an animation work will be very low at this time, and it will basically not have much impact on the final result of a work.

As for why the official Dragon Kingdom will force the price reduction of animation and film and television works after three months, it is all the result of the many online names of the Dragon Kingdom. The black and white documentaries of the era all need to pay ten yuan, who is not blocked

And even if the official Dragon Kingdom does not have this rule, three months after the animation work ends, its playback volume will not increase much.

On the contrary, after the price reduction, it can attract more people to watch, and then take the opportunity to sell the peripherals to them. Compared with the slowly increasing broadcast revenue, it is not bad at all, and even higher, why not do it!

But Huang Ming soon woke up from his imaginary world.

Any episodes with an average of 4 million or even more than The Frozen Witch are false.

It is now the end of October, the day after tomorrow will enter November, and there are only two months before the scheduled broadcast date of the two works.

The time left for them to post-process and promote the two works is only more than a month, but there is no time to be here. The most urgent task is to find the voice actresses of the heroines of the two works, otherwise, the works are not completed, so what? broadcast? How to make money?

Thinking of this, Huang Ming quickly put his mind on his work!
