My Animation Era

TBS agreed to the proposal.

This was Gu Miao's message from Ikeda over the phone after Gu Miao left Neon and returned to his kennel.

Wuhu, take off!

Excited, Gu Miao jumped up and down in the office several times, just barely took off her clothes, and ran to the street to celebrate.

Fortunately, Jiang Keke stopped him.

"My President Gu, let's talk about serious business, please calm down, OK?"

Rolling his eyes, Jiang Keke continued: "Solve the problem I mentioned first, and then open champagne to celebrate?"

"sure, no problem."

Gu Miao was very obedient, and decisively put away her smile and said, "About the DVD and videotape authorization issues of "Pigman", "Sailor Moon" and "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" you mentioned, I have actually considered it..."

This part of the DVD video tape.

Maybe there are some "declining" industries in China, which can be regarded as half of the "sunset" industry, and there is little profit to be made. But overseas, especially in Europe and the United States, this is a delicious steamed bun.

Very tired!

Taking the North American market as an example, the main profit method of many popular "American dramas" or "American comics", in addition to "peripheral derivatives", is to rely on DVD and video tape rental and sales.

I believe many people have watched the movie "Wanted Universe" starring Li Lianjie. Its production cost is about 50 million U.S. dollars, and the box office is about 70 million U.S. dollars.

At first glance, I feel like crying!

But in fact, in the North American market, the film's DVD and video tape rental sales alone have reached an astonishing $66 million, not counting other income.

Earned a lot of money.

Don't ask why this is the case, but the number of "home video recorders" in Europe and the United States is really amazing.

The retail and rental market of audio-visual publications is also huge...

The audience over there also likes or is used to watching the latest film and television animation works by "purchasing" or "renting".

The neon market is actually not small.

After all, the old two-dimensional country, buying anime-derived DVDs and videotapes is almost a common operation.

But generally speaking, Laomei is richer, has a larger market size, and a more mature distribution system.

Gu Miao has no objection to authorizing its animation works to a third party to engage in DVD and video tape rental and sales business.

But what format does the Lord engage in?

Although DVD is a well-deserved industry leader, VHS video tapes have not yet been eliminated, and many people are still using old "home video recorders."

The new industry star Blu-ray, the so-called BD disc, is also the trendy first choice.

"Mainly engage in DVD and BD!"

After meditating for a while, Gu Miao said slowly, "Although there are still people who rent and buy VHS video tapes, the market share is getting smaller and smaller."

No matter from any point of view, DVD and BD are the preferred formats, no matter how bad it is, it is okay to make a VCD alone in Asia.

VHS tapes...

All I can say is, it's a pity!

No matter how brilliant it was in the past, it has to be eliminated by the times now. As a staunch Blu-ray DVD fan, Gu Miao is still in the VHS camp, isn't that...

Become an Arsenal fan after the undefeated season in 03/04, what a big mistake!

Of course, this is a joke.

The main reason why I don't make VHS tapes is that the picture quality is too bad. Live-action movies and TV shows are better, but animation works are obvious.

"Ok, I see."

After writing down the two key words of BD and DVD in the notebook, Jiang Keke asked again: "Do we record and distribute it ourselves in China? Or do we find another publisher to cooperate with?"

"Come by yourself."

"It's just selling a few CDs. Why do you need to ask others for help? With my appeal, it can be done in minutes!" Gu Miao waved her hands.

Even if there are no channels abroad.

Domestic e-commerce is so developed, and he still has millions of Weibo followers. If he yells, is he worried that the disc will not be sold?

Just kidding? !

In order to prove the authenticity of this sentence, Gu Miao took out her mobile phone and opened Weibo in front of Jiang Keke, pointing to the number of followers as high as 6.253 million.

"See, 6.25 million fans!"

"I don't expect everyone to buy my disc, as long as half of the people are willing to buy it, there will be 3.125 million copies..."

Are you serious?

Are you sure it's not 6 million black fans?

Looking at the triumphant Gu Miao, Jiang Keke's mouth twitched and said, "But I heard from Vice President Ma that your Weibo comment area is full of smoke, and you can't find a single true fan who praised you after turning through more than ten pages?"

"This is a misunderstanding!"

Gu Miao refuted the rumors and said, "Do you know how to be a villain? They love me too much, so they put on the skin of a black fan and try to attract my attention with words."

I hope so!

Shaking his head, Jiang Keke is not optimistic about Gu Miao's so-called "fan economy theory", let alone think that his fans can drive the sales of discs.

But the boss said so, what else could she do before the result appeared?

Of course I obeyed him!

...

It turns out.

Gu Miao made a wrong calculation, following his fans, she had no intention of bringing goods to him at all.

But it's not a big problem.

Compared with the comic "Dragon Fighter", which caused heated discussions, the sales volume of the magazine exceeded 200,000 copies for the first time. Sales of mere CDs are not good, so what is it that Mr. Gu is flogged to death?

After entering April.

Not long after the publication was launched, less than five issues of the weekly magazine "Manga World" were released, and a "serial" comic written by Nantong was added again.

The name is, Dragon Fighter!

The publication of this comic immediately ignited the enthusiasm of some fans of robots/mechs and young teenagers.

Magazine sales are on the rise!

According to what Gu Miao learned, when the first two chapters of "Dragon Fighter" were first serialized, the magazine's sales barely exceeded 100,000 copies, making it one of the most popular children's books.

But as the comics continue to be serialized and their influence continues to ferment, "Dragon Fighter" has become a rising star in the comics world this spring.

100,000 volumes, 150,000 volumes...

Affected by this, the originally not well-known "Manga World" magazine also ushered in a round of "reprinting" boom.

Especially the seventh issue!

Gu Miao heard that for this issue, the magazine originally planned to print 200,000 copies for the first time, in order to cope with the increasing number of readers and fans.

As a result, the quality of this issue exploded!

The 200,000 volumes of the magazine were like a stone cow entering the sea. After being placed in major bookstores and newsstands, they were sold out in less than half a day.

Nan Tong was stunned!

You know, before this, the highest sales volume of a single issue of "Manga World" magazine was barely around 170,000. The seventh issue of the magazine sold more than 200,000 copies in half a day.

Really?

Less than two months after the publication of "Manga World", the sales volume of a single issue has almost caught up with "Zhonghai Boys", which has been published for nearly 25 years.

"Xiao Du, I am Superman!"

Nantong groaned strangely: "What Pleasant Goat failed to do, what Moon Hare couldn't do, Xiaodu did! Mr. Gu, you don't understand me, do you?"

Gu Miao: "..."

Available tomorrow! I hope that the book lovers who have passed by will join in the show and support it! thank you all!
