Later, Mr. Kasai showed Kamiya the finished product of the 11th episode of "Uncertain Lady Mary" that had just been produced.
As for the previous ten episodes, I had already read them one after another from Bunche Yaofei when I was at home.
very nice.
Because there are only 12 episodes in the first season of "Mary Mary" and the funds are relatively sufficient, we do not adopt the method of broadcasting while producing. This way, there is no need to meet deadlines, and spending more time can also improve the quality of the series.
Get a higher level of protection.
Overall, the script of this new series, which has not yet been broadcast to the public, is excellent, the core of the story is intriguing, the characters are lovable, and the financial investment is generous. The final performance is excellent, and even the jokes in non-serious plots are quite memorable.
From the perspective of the audience, Kamiyagawa feels that this series is definitely a top-notch masterpiece.
Now all we have left is the final episode to bring a perfect ending to the first season.
"President, this is the contract from TBS TV station. After the first ten episodes were reviewed internally, TBS TV station sent us the contract. After the next two episodes are sent to the TV station for review and no objections are raised, and the contract is officially signed, pre-heating arrangements will be arranged there.
Advertising and screenings.”
After watching the finished product of episode 11, Fumika Yaobi handed another contract to Kamiya.
Because of the connections at the Juqiong Shrine, and the fact that Juqiong Shenzi personally invested in the project of "Miss Mary," the matter with the TBS TV station was settled without any surprise.
It is stated in the contract that TBS TV station will pay GENIE Animation Studio 30 million yen for the screening copyright fee. Then the online broadcast of "Miss Mary" will be delayed by one month compared to the TV broadcast.
Thirty million yen, this copyright fee is quite reasonable.
TV stations pay hundreds of millions of yen for the screening rights to animation studios.
But that is only for large-scale productions of popular IPs that are highly topical. For example, GENIE Animation Studio itself is small, and "Miss Mary" is not a light novel adaptation or a comic adaptation, so it does not have any fan base.
A new show like this has no foundation, and its target is a big TV station like TBS.
To put it bluntly, it is possible for TV stations to charge screening fees to animation studios.
The copyright fee of 30 million is probably due to the subtle relationship between GENIE Animation Studio and Juqiong Shrine, and the fact that TBS has internally reviewed "Miss Mary" and is very satisfied with the quality.
Okay.
Once the copyright fee is finalized, it can be considered as a return of some blood.
"The TV station's copyright fee is only one aspect. After the screening is completed, the sales of Blu-ray DVDs of "Miss Mary", peripherals, and other related copyright sales are the focus." Wenche Yaofei pushed.
Push up the flat glasses on the bridge of your nose.
The profit focus of GENIE Animation Studio will still be on DVD sales.
As for peripheral products, there are other linkage copyrights and even overseas income. As long as "Miss Mary" gets a good reputation, that is also possible.
If these income channels can be opened up, it will be a real profit.
Anyway, Japan has formed an extremely mature industrial chain in this area.
Xiao Wenche has also done in-depth understanding and market research, and there will be no problem in leaving it to her and the studio staff.
What Kamiya himself is more concerned about is actually how many people will become "believers" of Mary and the little tapir after the broadcast of "Miss Mary".
Wow.
Continue to read the contract.
Kamiya saw the scheduled slot time of "Miss Mary" on TBS, and it was scheduled for the late night slot on Golden Sunday, that is, after 23:00 every Friday.
Specifically, it was scheduled at 0:20.
In fact, Kamiyagawa had heard about this arrangement from Bunche Yaofei before coming to the studio.
Xiao Wenche also gave an explanation: Generally speaking, the late night time slot is actually the most suitable time period for the screening of "Miss Mary".
The prime time of the TV station is the evening time, which is from 20:00 to 23:00.
During this time period, all major TV stations will air their flagship film and television content, including TV series, animations, variety shows, etc. All major productions. The competition is very fierce. In order to compete for prime time ratings, all the TV stations are going crazy.
If GENIE's new show is put into this time period, it will definitely become cannon fodder.
How can a little-known new drama compete with other popular works with a huge fan base?
If you can grab some sporadic ratings from people's teeth, that's considered awesome.
unless……
At that time, the two sisters, Mari and Xiaowu, were entrusted with their efforts to forcefully control the TV stations in Tokyo to only broadcast the TBS channel during that time period.
But it doesn't even make sense to do so.
After all, "Miss Mary" wants to cover the entire Japan.
As for the earlier time slots, morning dramas and daytime shows, the active audience is housewives, and the overlap with the animation audience is too low.
Therefore, the late night slot has become a very suitable battlefield.
The TV programs in this time period are of mixed quality. There are absolute masterpieces like "Late Night Diner", but there are also some shoddy programs that fill time, or rely on vulgar content to attract attention.
"Miss Mary" itself is of good quality and is expected to compete for ratings during this time period.
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 late at night.
"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...open-minded!
The next step is to look forward to what results the new series that the team has put a lot of effort into creating can achieve.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! 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 Youfei 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 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 him "Miscellaneous" 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 if 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.
To be continued...
