Chapter 360

Just like "Kamen Rider" and "Ultraman".

Similarly, even the well-known IP "Ultraman" cannot bear such consequences.

Other IPs that are not more famous than "Ultraman", can they withstand the torrent of time?

In this industry where a lot of works are broadcast every quarter, the audience who can see different works every quarter, they may have forgotten the names of the works they have watched before, right?

Just like people don't remember how many slices of bread they have eaten.

Of course, some people may say that it's like "Kamen Rider" and "Dragon Ball". Isn't it enough to shoot new works?

But the problem is that shooting works requires funds.

And after shooting the works, it is not necessarily possible to make these old IPs glow with new vitality, or industry insiders dare not guarantee that these newly shot works will still make money like before.

In such a situation.

Green Dolphin Studio is willing to be the sucker.

Not only will they be given the licensing fee for the character IP.

They also planned to help them add these IP characters to "Stone Ocean", a work that has a high popularity, to promote them for free.

... Faced with such a good thing.

How could the industry insiders not agree?

Especially after learning about this matter.

Feeling that this would seem to save more money, she multiplied the amount quoted by Shinbo Akiyuki to the industry insiders by ten......

There is no need for Shinbo Akiyuki and others to manually contact the industry insiders who hold the character IP copyrights as before.

These industry insiders began to find ways to come here, and contacted Shinbo Akiyuki and others, actively requesting the issue of character IP authorization.

And it is not just those industry insiders who have well-known character IPs but have only fame because they have not released new works for many years.

There are also many industry insiders whose related character IP works are still being broadcast. In this trend, they also contacted Green Dolphin Studio...

-------------------------------------

"So, Shinbo, are you planning to return some of the character IP linkages?"

Hearing the troubles told by Pucci and others, Jolyne Kujo said with no expression on her face: "Because there are too many industry insiders who want to find us for linkage, so instead of choosing the old IP that is almost forgotten by the audience, it is better to choose a new IP that the audience is more familiar with... Is that what you think?"

"Yes, President Kujo. Although it seems a bit sorry for them to do so, we can't take the initiative to choose these old IPs when there are new IPs to choose from, right?"

Akiyuki Shinbo said with some guilt.

But it's just a little guilty.

He believes that if the roles are swapped and the same choice is given to others to choose.

Then others will definitely make the same choice as him.

After all, the industry is such a ruthless place.

Or in other words, it's not that Pucci and others don't want to be like children and choose me to have it all.

But I just regret that I don't have enough money~~

You know, a well-known character IP often has a well-known actor who has played such a role.

The latter sometimes even costs more than the former.

For example, Tony Stark died because of too high a salary...

They all bought the IP license of this character in Pucci.

They can legally and reasonably let these well-known characters appear in their own works.

Will they let those well-known actors play these well-known characters again in their own works?

Of course they will!

Otherwise, why do they buy the IP license of these characters?

But this leads to another question.

That is, how should the salary of these well-known actors be calculated?

If it's one or two, there's no problem.

Even if Kujo Jolyne secretly increased the salary tenfold.

It's not a big problem for the current Green Dolphin Studio.

But when this number of people increases exponentially...

Even if it is limited by the length of the chapter of [Bohemian Rhapsody] itself, most of these well-known actors will only appear in a few shots.

But when this number accumulates to a certain extent.

The time and pay of a few shots will also be accumulated to a level that is enough to make people drop their jaws.

This is also the reason why Akiyuki Shinbo and others made this decision.

In the case of limited choices.

They will naturally choose better, not worse.

But...

"I don't think so."

Kujo Jolyne shook her head and said: "Shinbo, and Pucci, do you think our colleagues are stupid?"

"?"

Akiyuki Shinbo and Pucci, who had no idea why Kujo Jolyne asked this, looked at each other and said uncertainly: "It should be... not stupid..."

"Since they are not stupid, do you think they will be so generous and license the IP of these well-known characters to us? And these are IP licenses that are not lacking in publicity and are popular characters themselves?"

Kujo Xu Lun asked rhetorically.

This time, she didn't even give Akihiro Shinbo and the others a chance to speak, and continued: "The great man from a certain Eastern country next door said it very well - we must clearly distinguish who is our enemy? Who is our enemy?" Our friends? Who are the helpers we can get? Who are the outsiders who are temporarily joining our side due to the situation?

"Obviously, those new IPs, or popular IPs that are still being broadcast, do not lack our promotion. At least they are not in short supply like those old IPs that are almost forgotten by the audience. This is our propaganda.”

"They will be the same as those old IPs. This is the reason why they chose to license the character IPs to us. There is a high probability that they are just following this trend."

“That is, only if we link up with these old IPs, will they authorize their character IPs to us like they do now. Otherwise, they will most likely regret it later, just like you do with those old IPs in Xinfang. "

It has to be said that Kujo Xu Lun has a very thorough understanding of this.

In other words, in order to obtain more character IP authorizations.

A lot of her money was spent on this new path of losing money.

Kujo Xu Lun has studied this carefully.

That's right, Xu Lun had never thought that losing money was so easy before? !

It's just the authorization of a character IP.

It can help her spend the licensing fees for the character's IP, the fees for co-productions with well-known actors... not to mention at least two expenditures.

It can also minimize the linkage benefits caused by the arrival of well-known characters and well-known actors!

After all, they will only shoot two episodes at most for the story of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in "Sea of ​​Stone".

In such a tight time, many characters only have one or two scenes.

Can just one or two shots attract the audience?

Even if it can attract.

The number of these attracted viewers will undoubtedly have an upper limit.

And the character IPs they signed are unlimited!

As long as the contracts continue to be signed, these character IPs will eventually be saturated.

If we continue to increase it further, not only will it not increase the number of viewers attracted, it will also make it more difficult for them to recoup their capital because they will spend too much licensing fees.

But does it matter?

Isn't this what Kujo Xu Lun wants? ?

Why hadn't she thought of such a useful trick before? !

If only she had thought of this trick before.

She is not afraid of losing money at all.

All they have to do is wait until their work is about to make money, immediately find a few character IPs to license, and allocate this funding expenditure, and their works will naturally never make money!

It can be said that Kujo Xu Lun figured out how to play this evil style.

In this situation.

Naturally, she had to make up a good reason to convince Shinbo Akira and the others, so that Shinbo Akira and the others, who seemed to want to back out, had nothing to say!

Thinking of this, Kujo Xu Lun crossed his hands and put the pillow under the tip of his nose, and made a pretentious move like Commander Ikari: "New house, and Pucci, you still remember that we will choose to shoot "Stone of the Stone" "The ideal of the sea"?

...

Chapter 483: Father Pucci is the protagonist?

Inside the set of "Sea of ​​Stone".

Akiyuki Shinbo and Pucci are still preparing for the filming of "Sea of ​​Stone".

But it would not be accurate to say that they are all preparing for this at this time.

Because among them, the only person who is actually making the preparations is Akiyuki Shinbo, the supervisor of "Sea of ​​Stone".

Pucci has not yet had his turn to appear because of the recent plot of "Sea of ​​Stone".

In other words, it's because after Father Pucci in "Sea of ​​Stone" merged with the Green Baby, in order to control the power that came from both Joestar's bloodline and DIO's.

Father Pucci had to be like a chrysalis before turning into a butterfly. In order not to be disturbed by Xu Lun and the others, he took the initiative to step aside to accumulate the power of evolution.

So much so that Pucci, who originally played Father Pucci in "Sea of ​​Stone".

During this plot period, he naturally became a lot more free.

Otherwise, he would not have the time to follow Akiyuki Shinbo to deal with and negotiate the recent situation of the "Sea of ​​Stone" crew.

"Xinfang, are you still thinking about what President Kujo said before?"

Looking at the actions of Shinbo Akiyuki, since he had not participated in the directing and shooting of "Sea of ​​Stone" before, he consciously did not disturb the work of professionals like Shinbo Akiyuki. Even if he helped, it was only for the screenwriter's work. , Pucci who helped a little bit.

Now, even though he had not participated in the directing and filming of "Sea of ​​Stone" before, he knew very well that Shinbo Akiyuki was not in a normal state at this time.

Or even a layman like him could see the mistakes made by Shinbo Akiyuki.

Therefore, it was natural to think of Puch, who had previously talked to Kujo Jolyne about the recent situation of "Stone Sea". He continued, "I think Shinbo, you don't need to care about this kind of thing."

"President Kujo's words should just let us follow our own hearts and not be willing to lower the quality of the plot of "Stone Sea" because of funding issues."

"Translated, it means - let us just let it go, just like before, there is no need to have any burden. Shinbo, your current situation is that you did not obey President Kujo's orders."

However, after hearing this, Shinbo Akiyuki shook his head and replied, "Of course I know that."

How about Kujo Jolyne's personality?

For those of them who have joined Green Dolphin Studio for a long time, they all know it.

Akiyuki Shinbo is also very clear.

When Kujo Jolyne asked them about it, he didn't actually want to hold them accountable.

Actually, it is not.

Although it is a little different from what Akiyuki Shinbo and his friends imagined.

But what did Jolyne Kujo mean by that statement?

In fact, it was just to divert the attention of Akiyuki Shinbo and his friends.

No matter what Akiyuki Shinbo and his friends think.

As long as Akiyuki Shinbo and his friends can get these authorizations and spend the funds in her hands as soon as possible, Jolyne Kujo will not care what Akiyuki Shinbo and his friends are thinking about.

Obviously, Jolyne Kujo's plan was successful.
