Chapter 184 Sale

"Hello, I am Xia Yan, the chairman of Xia Tang Animation Production Company, and I am also the only screenwriter of "The Warrior of Love" in the company's screenwriting department. ♦♦  ♦♦"

As Xia Yan spoke, he controlled the projector to project on the white cloth in the conference room.

Although the details and plot of the work cannot be disclosed, since Xia Yan wants to recruit others, he must let them know what projects they will be responsible for if they join Xia Tang Animation Company.

"Cyberpunk. Edgewalker"?

Almost everyone present was stirred up in their hearts.

Warrior of Love, Yuan Qing, Xia Yan?

Are you kidding me?

But Xia Yan didn't give them time to think about life there. In the projected project plan, pages and pages of pictures and texts flashed in front of everyone at the scene.

Five minutes later, the project document was very complicated, but everyone at the scene learned a very important message from Xia Yan's explanation just now.

Xia Yan's investment in the animation of "Cyberpunk: Edgewalker" will be more than 60 million.

Sixty million.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

What is the most expensive animation production?

Labor costs are the most expensive!

It is obvious where the 60 million investment will be spent.

To put it bluntly, a considerable part of this investment was spent on the production team members of this animation.

And they weren't worried that Xia Yan wouldn't be able to get the money.

Just kidding, the total sales volume of the BDs of several volumes of Magic Circle in Dragon Kingdom is only a few million copies. Not counting other derivative income, it is only tens of millions. What is it?

Xia Yan felt relieved when he saw everyone's expressions.

Sure enough, money is king!

The company's original people are responsible for the animation production of "I'll Wait for You in Seven Years", and they are recruiting a group of top talents in the industry to be responsible for the animation production of "Cyberpunk Edgewalker".

This was the plan Xia Yan started to formulate immediately after some of the profits from the Magic Circle were initially received.

For several days, Xia Yan was at Xia Tang Animation Production Company, negotiating, discussing, and negotiating conditions with those who were preparing to switch companies. ♦♦  ♦♦

During this period, the seventh episode of Initial D was successfully serialized.

The duel between Tu Hai from Qiu Mingshan and Li Yi, the captain of the Son of Night team, kicked off.

If we talk about the first chapter of Initial D, the decisive battle with Gao Qi made this work popular and famous.

The showdown between Li Yi and Li Yi in the second chapter of the comic is still so exciting, which is the basis for this work to spread wildly in the comic industry. Fans put aside their worries and immersed themselves in the state of comics.

The number of readers' votes for this issue of Initial D has increased again, reaching 1.7 million votes.

On the contrary, "Forbidden Gate", which ranked first in the "Beizhou" comic journal, has dropped some votes compared to last week. The difference between the two works is now less than 100,000 votes.

Everyone in the comic club now feels awe-inspiring in their hearts.

Now Initial D is just one step away from being number one in the journal rankings.

It can be said that Xia Yan's comic editor Hu Yi is now using all his energy to feed himself.

While Xia Yan was busy recruiting staff for his animation production company all day long, and the replacement of Daye was unable to cooperate with the comic book club in publicity as he had done some time ago, Hu Yi, as the deputy editor-in-chief of Beizhou Comics, brought Mo Ran, the comic chief writer, to Magic City, and even went to the Imperial City area to participate in TV variety shows to increase the exposure of Initial D.

This August, Xia Yan honestly said that although it was during the summer vacation, it was also the most tiring month in the year since he entered college.

Another two days passed by, and in the Dragon Kingdom Animation Market

The sales statistics for the first week of the fifth volume of the anime BD of Puella Magi Madoka Magica TV plot have been announced.

As the last two episodes of Puella Magi Madoka Magica's anime, the fifth volume has gained popularity in the Dragon Kingdom animation market and is undoubtedly the highest volume among the BD discs of this anime that have been released.

735346 copies.

A statistic that makes everyone suffocate.

In the Dragon Kingdom animation world, within three months of the release of an animated BD, an average volume of 50,000 BD sales is considered a good product, a 100,000 BD is considered excellent, and a sales volume of 200,000 to 300,000 is considered popular in the market.

This kind of animation, which sold more than 700,000 yuan in its first week, is not enough to describe the inner thoughts of people in the industry after the data was released.

After all, this is just the first week's sales data, and after a few months, the total sales data of the fifth volume may double.

However, the entire animation industry has not yet had time to immerse itself in the record-breaking first week sales data of the fifth volume of Magic Circle TV animation.

The next day, Tuesday.

The sun is shining brightly and the morning sun rises early.

On the famous two-dimensional merchandise street in the Magic City area, there are a total of nine animation BD sales stores.

And at the moment, there are long queues in front of these nine shops.

The two-dimensional fans of Dragon Kingdom are becoming more and more sophisticated one after another.

Everyone can see the sales of the first five volumes of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica TV anime BD in the past month.

The sales volume is indeed amazing, but the production capacity is indeed very low.

It will definitely be sold out on the first day of sale. It will take until the third or fourth day to replenish the production capacity. But you still have to line up early to buy. If you go to the store to buy it in the afternoon. Haha, they will all be sold out. .

After Puella Magi Madoka Magica fans have learned this lesson, everyone knows that even if the shabby peripheral manufacturer that Xia Tang Animation Production Co., Ltd. cooperates with has its factory running the machine and smoking, it will not be able to produce so many products. come out.

Everyone is holding this idea anyway, you will definitely not be able to supply the goods. Instead of waiting for 伱bd to sell out of stock in the market, I would queue up in the middle of the night and buy first, so as to save myself from discomfort later.

Pang Qianyi is one of the fans of Mo Yuan who has this idea.

When she came to line up at five o'clock in the morning, she found that there were more than 40 people who were earlier than her.

When it was now half past seven, Pang Qianyi looked at the long queue of nearly two hundred people behind her and couldn't help but feel glad that she came early.

This is the charm of the magic circle!

Although many people on the Internet have questioned the quality and plot of the theatrical version of Magic Circle, those audiences who do not speak or speak out are the real mainstream.

After waiting for another hour, after the early morning sun rose brightly, the sleepy-eyed animation BD store owner slowly opened the door.

At this point, Pang Qianyi has been queuing here for three hours, and the long queue behind her has grown by dozens more people.

The queue was slowly moving forward, and from time to time Pang Qianyi could hear the Madoka Madoka Magica fans in the queue passionately discussing their guesses about the plot of Madoka Magica the Movie.

To be honest, these fans' ideas are quite interesting.

Pang Qianyi took a deep breath and smiled. Soon, she followed the queue to the bookstore shelves.

There, life-size posters of Madoka and Xiao Meiyan were erected on stands. Madoka with pink hair, holding a long bow and wearing a cherry-colored dress, was holy and beautiful, while Lin Xiaoyan, with black wings on his back, had an expression With a yandere smile, he stared at Engami beside him.

Promotional posters for the theatrical version of the animation are plastered all over this large store.

This is the kind of treatment only a truly popular anime would give.

Pang Qianyi finally queued to the shelf and picked up a regular version of the animation bd, priced at 69.

If it is a limited edition, there will be some lightweight Madoka Magica peripheral gifts, but the price will be 99 yuan.

After the payment was successful, Pang Qianyi walked out of the store with the animation BD she had just purchased.

At the door, there was a long queue of hundreds of people, and on the street, those early-rising two-dimensional cosplay enthusiasts began to walk around.

On the way Pang Qianyi walked home, there were maid cafe employees dressed as Lin Xiaoyan, some walking on the street wearing huge white bunny costumes, and some dressed as various witches from the Magic Circle.

It can be seen that Magic Circle is now very popular among the animation community.

The closer she got to her door, the more nervous Pang Qianyi became.

Looking at the animated BD of Puella Magi Madoka Magica in her hand, Pang Qianyi suppressed her inner restlessness.

When I got home, I quickly opened the plastic packaging of the bd outer box.

The exquisite and beautiful BD cover inside is revealed.

Once you open it, in addition to a mediocre animated BD disc, there are also character-limited photo cards and a refined poster of Madoka.

as well as

Pang Qianyi's pupils shrank.

What did she see?

On a signature card, there are four words "Fighter of Love" written in a graceful handwriting.

"So lucky? There are only a thousand autographs in total, and I happened to buy one of them?"

After quickly taking a photo and posting it on WeChat, Pang Qianyi didn't waste any time. She took the BD to the living room and inserted it into a professional instrument.

Soon the TV screen at Pang Qianyi's home flashed.

"The end will come one day. We are all waiting for the guidance of the Circle Principle while fighting."

The magical girl's soul crystal keeps falling into the abyss.

But the girl's narration voice sounded.

Pang Qianyi could tell that the dubbing voice actor of this voice was Lin Xiaoyan.

From the beginning of the story, Pang Qianyi changed her mind a lot.

After all, the picture quality has been improved, much higher than the TV version.

At the beginning of the story, the screen was flashing with neon lights, the night view of Madoka's city.

The strange thing is that the scenes that appear on the screen are all empty.

However, Pang Qianyi didn't think too much, thinking it was just a technique of expression.

Only the next plot made her stunned.

The witch's barrier spread instantly, and a light blue figure appeared in the barrier.

With the unique character design style in the Puella Magi Madoka Magica animation, Pang Qianyi recognized this existence

Sha Ye, who died as early as the ninth episode of the TV animation, could not die anymore

Appeared right at the opening, and is still capturing the witch.

This is

What's going on?

Pang Qianyi suddenly cheered up.

Wasn't the witch completely wiped out by Madoka in the TV anime?

Why is this concept still hidden in the theatrical animation?

And the next plot confused her even more.

Madoka and Kuransu both transformed into magical girls, and the three of them fought together.

ha?

Pang Qianyi's eyes widened and she said she didn't understand.

How can Madoka still have a body?

What on earth is this theatrical animation about?
