NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Investment
In island animation, the word “production” can basically be seen in op.
“Production” is different from “production”, it represents the investor, so the name of several companies is often written after “production”, and some simply set up a production committee.
Generally, as long as the animation is funded by several companies, a production committee will be established.
Before the animation is released, no one knows what the sales will be, and multiple companies can jointly invest to reduce the risk. However, the existence of the production committee is likely to interfere with the production of the animation, so Takagi doesn’t like this format very much.
What he prefers is that a certain company invests and does not intervene in the production of animation. After it is made, that company will distribute it as an agent.
Such a company belongs to the panda level and is difficult to find, but there is just such a company in this world.
Chikawa Animation is backed by a company of the Kawano Consortium.
Although it is called an animation company, this company is actually a planning company. It does not make animation itself, but only invests in animation.
In addition, because it is backed by the Kawano Consortium, this company can be said to be rich and powerful, and it also has a very strong distribution channel.
Animations are made to be released. At this time in 2006, it is not popular to put animations on the Internet. Moreover, this world has not yet appeared on video barrage sites similar to Station N.
Nowadays, the distribution of animation is either sold directly or broadcasted on TV.
It’s okay to sell discs. DOS has its own channels, but if you want to get it to be broadcast on a TV station, DOS can’t do it.
On Qianchuan Animation, not only can they sell discs, they can also be shown on TV, and they even have the ability to promote animation overseas.
To attract investment, Makoto Takagi first considers Qianchuan Animation. The only problem is that according to the news announced by Qianchuan Animation, only one animation will be considered in the near future.
It is said that he is considering investing in an animation, but it is even more likely that Qianchuan Animation will do its own planning and then find a strong animation production company to accept the invitation. Therefore, Takagi wants to invest in Qianchuan Animation. It is not difficult. Generally large.
But you have to give it a try, after all, this is an angel investment.
An appointment had been made in advance, so after Makoto Takagi came to the office of Chikawa Animation, he was quickly invited to the meeting room.
However, what made him bewildered was that there was another person in the conference room—Chihiro Anoka, producer of ABK Animation.
ABK is a small and powerful animation company in the industry. The animation production circle is not big, and they are all in Tokyo. Even if Takagi Makoto and Anoka Chihiro have no friendship, people still recognize it.
The status of animation production in island countries is generally that the producer is higher than the supervisor and higher than the screenwriter, because the producer is basically responsible for the investment.
Now that I met the producer of ABK at Chikawa Animation, there is no doubt that Chihiro Anoka also came to pull investment.
After realizing this, Takagi’s heart shuddered.
It was not easy for Qianchuan Animation to invest, but now it is even more difficult for another competitor.
On the other side, Chihiro Anoka was also clearly aware of Takagi’s intentions, but he didn’t take it seriously, nor did he say hello to Takagi. His nostrils were upturned, and it was like two to eighty thousand.
Takagi Makoto didn’t make himself boring, but just sat down on the other side of the conference table and waited silently.
After a while, a tall and thin young woman wearing a small white suit with her hair tied into a ponytail entered the meeting room.
“The two have been waiting for a long time. I am Kawano Akino. I am in charge of this investment review. When we meet for the first time, please advise me.” The woman introduced herself first.
“Please advise.”
Makoto Takagi and Chihiro Anoka quickly got up and saluted.
After sitting down again, Takagi Makoto silently looked at this woman named Kawano Akino.
She is probably in her early twenties, her face is exquisite, her skin is fair and flawless, her eyes are very bright, and she has a calm and elegant temperament all over her body.
The surname is “Kawano”, the one of the Kawano Foundation?
What is the relationship with the helm of the Kawano Foundation? Father and daughter?
If it is really a father-daughter relationship, then you have to quickly find a way to hug this golden thigh, and you may be able to struggle for 50 years less.
On the other side, Chihiro Anoka is also looking at Akino Kawano, but his perception is not so good.
The surname “Kawano” and the noble and elegant temperament both show that Akino’s identity is not simple, but the more complex the identity, the worse it is.
The young lady of the chaebol, mostly received elite education, understands the animation of a hammer!
Although the more ignorant you are, the easier it is to fool you, but you are afraid that the other party will not play the card according to the routine. Maybe if you accidentally make people unhappy, they will not invest directly?
At that time, it’s useless to say that the sky is broken.
Or, maybe people don’t care whether you plan well or not, and invest solely on interest, so what else do you do?
As his mind turned, he said, “Miss Kawano, I have a question.”
Akino Kawano didn’t respond, but motioned Chihiro Anoka with his eyes to continue.
After getting permission, Anoka Chihiro said, “Where is Minister Kitahara? The last animation of our company was invested by Minister Kitahara. If possible, I hope I can chat with him first.”
I said it was a chat, but the implication is that I actually hope that the person named Beiyuan can be responsible for the investment review.
The woman frowned, apparently understanding Chihiro Anoka’s implication.
She glanced at Chihiro Anoka and responded: “Kitahara has been transferred to another place, and I will personally be responsible for every investment of Chikawa Animation in the future.”
Chihiro Anoka was slightly surprised, but did not speak again.
“What’s the problem with the two of you? If there is no problem, can you let me see your plan first?” Kawano Akino said again.
Makoto Takagi and Chihiro Anoka had no objection, and quickly handed in their respective plans.
Kawano Akino didn’t bother to speak, first picked up Chihiro Anoka’s plan and looked through it.
“A beautiful girl-themed animation?” She said to herself as she flipped through it.
The so-called “animation with beautiful girl theme” does not refer to the kind of “Pretty Girl of Light”, but there are various beautiful girls in the animation. The plot is basically the male protagonist contacting him and getting fettered, and then what? How was it.
To put it bluntly, it is the harem animation or pseudo-harem. After all, the word “harem” is not easy to write directly on the plan.
“right.”
Chihiro Anoka nodded, “The animation of this theme is currently in the market, and sales are guaranteed. Like the “First Love Island” broadcast in July last year, the production level is not very high, but the sales volume is as high as more than 6,000. ABK has a higher level of production, and the sales volume of animations on this subject is at least 8,000.”
Kawano Akino did not comment, and continued to look down.
Takagi Makoto was a little confused.
It’s fine to compete together, but even the subject matter is collided together?
What’s wrong with this?
Although Makoto Takagi has confidence in CL, what he wants to show Kawano Akino now is only CL’s plan. With just one plan, can he really compete with ABK?
More importantly, he was worried that Akino Kawano would invest directly after reading Chihiro Anoka’s plan. What will happen to him then?
