Chapter 564: Xiao Wu's Strengths

Afterwards, Mr. Kawanishi showed Kamiya the finished product of the 11th episode of "Miss Mary" that had just been produced.

As for the first ten episodes, I had watched them one after another from Wen Che Yao Fei when I was at home.

Very good.

Because there are only 12 episodes in the first season of "Miss Mary", and the funds are relatively sufficient, the method of making and broadcasting at the same time is not adopted. In this way, there is no need to rush the deadline, and spending more time can also ensure the quality of the show at a higher level.

Overall, this new show that has not yet been broadcast has an excellent script, the core of the story is intriguing, the characters are likable, and the funds invested are not stingy. The final performance is very outstanding, and even the creation of the stalks in the non-serious plot is quite memorable.

From the perspective of the audience, Kamiya Kawa thinks this show is definitely a top-level masterpiece.

Now all that is left is the final episode to end the first season perfectly.

"President, this is the contract from TBS TV. After the internal review of the first ten episodes, TBS TV sent us the contract. After the next two episodes are sent to the TV station for review and no objections are raised, they will be officially signed and they will arrange pre-advertising and screening."

After watching the finished product of episode 11, Wen Che Yao Fei handed another contract to Kamiya.

Because of the connections at the Juqiong Shrine, and the Juqiong Godson personally invested in the planning of "Miss Mary", the matter at TBS TV was negotiated without any surprise.

The contract states that TBS TV will pay GENIE Animation Studio 30 million yen for the copyright fee. Then the online broadcast of "Miss Mary" will be delayed by one month compared to the TV broadcast.

30 million yen, how can I say this copyright fee, it is still reasonable.

The TV station pays the animation studio for the copyright fee of hundreds of millions of yen.

But that only applies to popular IP productions that are already hot topics. GENIE Animation Studio itself is small, and "Miss Mary" is not adapted from a light novel or a comic, so it has no fan base.

A new show like this with no foundation, and the target of delivery is a big TV station like TBS.

To put it bluntly, it is possible that the TV station will charge the animation studio for the screening fee.

The copyright fee of 30 million is probably because GENIE Animation Studio has a subtle relationship with the Giant Qiong Shrine, and TBS has reviewed "Miss Mary" internally and is very satisfied with the quality.

It's okay.

After this copyright fee is finalized, it can be considered to make some money back.

"The TV station's copyright fee is only one aspect. After the screening, the sales of Blu-ray DVDs of "Miss Mary", as well as peripherals and some other joint copyright sales are the focus." Wen Che Yaofei pushed the flat glasses on her nose.

The profit focus of GENIE Animation Studio will still be on the sales of DVDs.

As for peripheral products, there are other joint copyrights, and even overseas income. As long as "Miss Mary" has a good reputation, it is possible.

If these income channels can be opened up, it will be a huge profit.

Anyway, Japan has formed a very mature industrial chain in this area.

Xiao Wenche has also done in-depth understanding and market research, and there will be no problem in handing it over to her and the staff of the studio.

What Kamiya himself is more concerned about is how many people will become "believers" of Mary and the tapir invisibly after the broadcast of "Miss Mary".

Wow.

Continue to flip through the contract.

Kamiya saw the scheduled time of "Miss Mary" on TBS, which is scheduled for the late night of Friday, that is, after 23:00 every Friday.

Specifically, it was scheduled at 0:20.

In fact, Kamiya Kawa had heard about this arrangement from Wenche Yaofei before coming to the studio.

Xiao Wenche also gave an explanation. Generally speaking, the late night time is actually the most suitable time for the screening of "Miss Mary".

The prime time for TV stations is the evening time slot, which is roughly from 20:00 to 23:00.

During this time slot, all major TV stations will broadcast their flagship film and television content. TV series, animations, variety shows, etc. are all large-scale productions, and the competition is very fierce. In order to compete for the ratings of the prime time, all dogs have played their brains out.

If GENIE's new show is put into this time slot, it will definitely become cannon fodder.

How can an unknown new show compete with the ace works with a huge fan base?

It is considered amazing to be able to grab a little bit of ratings from the gap between people's teeth.

Unless...

At that time, the two sisters Mary and Xiaowu are entrusted to force the large-scale TV in Tokyo to broadcast TBS channels only during that time slot.

But there is no point in doing so.

After all, the scope of coverage of "Miss Mary" is the whole of Japan.

As for the earlier time slots, morning dramas and daytime slots, the active audience is housewives, and the overlap with the audience of animation is too low.

Therefore, the late night slot has become a very suitable battlefield.

The TV programs in this time slot are of mixed quality. There are some excellent programs like "Midnight Diner", but there are also some programs that are shoddy and fill up time, or rely on vulgar content to attract attention.

"Miss Mary" is of good quality and has a chance to compete for ratings in this time slot.

Moreover, Jin Yao is on holiday in the evening, and students and young people have time to watch TV. They are the main force watching animation.

Because of this, many new shows in Japan are released in late night slots.

"I don't have any objections. Let's find a time to formally sign the contract."

Kamiya put down the contract in his hand.

Still doesn't care.

Anyway, Xiaowen Che has done well enough.

Director Hexi, who was sitting aside, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

very good.

The president is very...enlightened!

The next step is to look forward to what results the new show that the team has put a lot of effort into creating can achieve.

As long as this first shot is fired well, the road ahead will definitely be smooth.

And if "Miss Mary" fails, then GENIE's fate from now on may be to work as an outsourcer for a big studio and survive.

The broadcast was about to begin. As a director, Mr. Kasai was still very nervous. After the meeting, he stood up with Kamiyagawa and said: "President, I will go outside to check the production progress of the last episode."

"Um."

With permission, Director Hexi took the information and pushed out the door.

In the conference room, only Bunche Yaofei and Kamiyagawa were left.

"You seem to have something to say."

"Master, our work will definitely achieve good results." Xiao Wenche's eyes and tone were extremely firm.

Although in front of the employees, Ms. Shiori Kamiya, the general manager, is like an iceberg, when facing Kamiya, she is much softer and not so hard and cold.

"I believe it, just like I believe in you." Kamiya smiled and nodded towards her, "Besides... in the studio, it's better to call me president."

Although there is no one else around now.

But Kamiya was worried that Xiao Wenche would switch names like this. If he accidentally called Chuan in front of the employees, it would be a lot of fun.

The entire GENIE staff must become part of their master-servant play.

Although Bunche Yaobi is a D-class monster, even if such an accident occurs, she will probably have her own way of calming down the situation afterwards.

Kamiya, on the other hand, doesn’t really care what GENIE employees think about the relationship between the president and general affairs.

As for employees, isn't it enough that they can help me make money and gain faith?

"If you wish so, President." Xiao Wenche packed up the documents and nodded meekly towards Kamiya.

"Um?"

Kamiya looked up and down at his dignified and cold secretary Kaidan in confusion.

Uh... Although her tone and expression are normal, why does she feel a little regretful?

…

Wait until the production of "Uncertain Lady Mary" is completed and the review is completed.

TBS has started to release pre-heated advertisements as scheduled, and other promotional methods arranged by Wenche Yafei have also begun to be implemented and put into the market.

In addition to these regular propaganda troops, Kamiya also has a "surprise army".

Our amazing Satoru-chan!

For Kamiya, Satoru is very useful. The good thing is that as long as she is exposed to the Internet, Satoru has great powers and can do anything. More importantly, not only does she not charge for her work, but she can even do her daily live broadcasts. God Valley makes money.

Although he usually seems arrogant and domineering and a difficult kid to get along with, he is actually a paper defense and gets intimidated very quickly.

And after bullying her, as long as she does what she wants, it's easy to trick her and get her back on track.

As for what Satoru has been doing other than live broadcasting during this period, we have to mention the most popular event recently discussed on the V Circle forum——

[Shock! This may be the strongest second-generation work in the history of V Circle! (Reply: 999+)]

[What do you think about the virtual anchor Mary-chan using her own image to produce the drama "Uncertain Lady Mary" at her own expense? (Reply: 999+)]

["Uncertain Lady Mary" has been confirmed to be on TBS's late-night slot in Jinyao, and will premiere at the end of November. Who is the one in Marie-chan’s heart? (Reply: 999+)]

Yes, it's hard for anyone who is in the V circle these days not to see discussions like this on forums.

In a sense, this topic has become popular.

All eyes were on "Mary-chan", who was originally just a middle-level virtual anchor.

It's natural that this would happen.

In the V circle where bad jobs often happen, this big job performed by Mary-chan can be said to be new and good.

How could V take his own leather case and make a complete anime?

Isn't this something new?

And after a brief understanding, you will find that Mary-chan is not a big anchor, she is even a powerful person.

Isn’t this even more curious?

However, the fact that this topic can maintain such high popularity and continue to ferment is actually due to enlightenment.

Because in the V circle forum, half of the most discussed posts about this incident were posted by Xiao Wu himself.

She has always understood people's hearts and human nature. She asked and answered questions in her posts and set up a rhythm. Then many real netizens would naturally participate in the discussion. Then as long as she added fuel to the flames appropriately, she could guarantee that this would be very interesting. Discussions on the topic continue.

Thanks to this, Wu's live broadcasts have become as popular as first-line virtual anchors these days.

The live broadcast room has been hanging on the home page for several days.

Regardless of whether in the live broadcast room or on the forum, there are good and bad voices about the shocking event that "Mary-chan" has done.

People who sing well are looking forward to it and have directly become fans of Mary-chan. They will probably continue to pay attention to "Miss Mary" in the future, and many of them will become contributors to the ratings of the new show's premiere.

The naysayers initially questioned the authenticity of the matter.

However, as Satoru's Instagram account and the GENIE official account controlled by Bunche Yaifei were related to each other, and after several interactions, this argument was self-defeating.

After that, the negative voices turned to suspecting "Marie-chan"'s sensationalism, and felt that GENIE was an animation studio that had no reputation at all and had never heard of it.

Even if "Miss Mary" were released, it would definitely be a shoddy piece of shit.

Satoru didn't pay much attention to these questioning voices.

She is indeed a bit timid in reality, especially when facing Kamiyagawa.

But she is incredibly powerful online.

If anyone makes her unhappy with something really rude, they can open the box on the spot.

And after opening the box, Wu never engages in Internet explosions.

I just followed the network cable and turned off your home appliance. Believe it or not?

Also, have you ever seen a leaky peripheral?

Keyboards and headphones can directly shock you to the point where you will have a psychological shadow on electronic devices within a month.

Humans, hum.

How could he be Lord Satoru's opponent?

In addition to the voices that sing good and bad words, there are also a large number of people who are interested in "Mary-chan" and "Miss Mary" because of this incident.

For people who have fun, this big event involving Marie-chan is one that can be enjoyed just by watching the excitement.

If Mary-chan can finally hand over a high-quality "second original drama", then she will be witnessing the history of the V circle.

Yes, good quality is enough, it doesn’t need to be a masterpiece.

As long as the virtual anchor's own investment in the show is reasonable, it is considered qualified.

And if Mary-chan messed up and handed over the goods that were really worthless and deceptive, then...it would also be a witness to the history of the V circle.

I also had a lot of fun by the way, and could laugh at this so-called virtual anchor for the rest of my life.

No matter what, it's okay.

"Huh huh~ It seems that the discussion of today's incident has increased again. Let's give it another try. Brother-in-law Zayu, just wait and show your gratitude to Master Wu~"

In the study room of Arakawa's home, Satoru was sitting in front of the computer, browsing relevant information on the Internet with great interest.

"Miss Mary" is about to be released, but she doesn't look nervous at all.

In fact, Satoru should probably be nervous at this time.

This little girl is actually quite thin-skinned. She has been running "Mary-chan" for so long, and it can be regarded as her second face on the Internet.

Whether the face of this second face can be saved, whether it can retaliate against the doubters on the Internet, whether it can turn those who are waiting to see her lively fun into fans, whether it will become a laughing stock...

But it all depends on the broadcast result of "Uncertain Lady Mary".

"There's no problem with the trash fish. If he can't handle this kind of thing, then he's pretty useless."

Satoru thought as he swung his legs and lightly rubbed his toes across the floor.

In fact, she has already seen the finished film of "Miss Mary" and is quite confident about this drama.

More importantly, Satoru has faith in Kamiya.

Although Satoru may never admit it to herself, she does trust Kamiyagawa unconditionally.
