Chapter 317 Do you know the value of educational comics? !
Why have we forgotten the Cartoonists Association, which is anti-acting?
We keep saying congratulations, looking forward to it, and waiting for the milk tea. Now Oda-sensei’s new work is really good, we need to give some feedback!
[The association said it was quite good. As expected, Mr. Oda successfully published educational masterpieces! @Cartoonists Association. ]
[@Cartoonists Association. This wave is really a good one from the Association. It’s positive. If you say it’s a masterpiece, it’s a masterpiece, without any ambiguity! ]
[Teacher Oda really owes milk tea! I will definitely send it to you! @Cartoonists Association. ]
Comic fans kept leaving messages and @Cartoonists Association.
The top management of the Cartoonists Association are holding back their anger!
The president directly smashed the flower arrangement in the office, blowing his beard and staring at several of his subordinates.
"Baga! That guy Oda Shingo can actually draw excellent educational comics? Why does that guy have such a long head?!"
"Who would have thought that guy could actually draw it! No one has been able to draw educational comics well for decades."
"Fortunately, Oda Shingo has not spoken out now, otherwise he would be really embarrassed!"
That’s what they thought. Oda Shingo really didn’t say anything, but just did it!
milk tea!
Oda Shingo ordered a cup of milk tea for each of the 136 members of the Cartoonists Association Headquarters!
We even filmed a video of ordering milk tea!
He didn't say anything during the whole process, and the video had no sound, but the delivery address was clearly captured, 160-0001Tokyo, Shinjuku, Katamachi, 31YANASE兎ビル2F.
"Teacher Oda, why don't you say a few words?" Todo Kouchi tried to fan the flames, but felt that slapping the Cartoonists Association wasn't harsh enough.
"I don't need to speak at all, the fans will help." Oda Shingo answered casually, but in his heart he was wondering how the address looked like the title.
After shooting the video and uploading it, Oda Shingo and others watched the excitement.
Sure enough, comic fans spontaneously began to laugh at the Cartoonists Association.
"Teacher Oda, they are indeed what you said." Yuko Mikami was a little confused.
Namikaze Youkaku said: "Because everyone is a fun person, right?"
In the past, she didn't like to interact with others. She often quietly observed others in school, and she could see these things very clearly.
"Yes, I understand too." Todo Xiangcheng nodded.
Mrs. Yukino suddenly asked: "Oda-kun, have you considered turning this manga into an animation?"
"...Yes! I hope so much!" Oda Shingo knew that although the original manga was famous, the real hit was the result of the animation.
"I can help you arrange it." Mrs. Yukino smiled.
Oda Shingo was stunned for a moment and suddenly asked: "Uh, how much commission do you want?"
"How about 20%?"
"Hey, it's too dark." Oda Shingo curled his lips, very dissatisfied.
"Then I won't help with the agency. You can ask someone to ask how much risk there is in animation." Mrs. Yukino pursed her lips and smiled, seemingly not angry.
But Oda Shingo raised his chin and stood his ground: "Do you know the value of educational comics?"
This time it was Mrs. Yukino's turn to be stunned, but she didn't reply for a moment.
Oda Shingo is very confident.
The animation performance of "Cells at Work" is very good. It is rated at 9 points on Douban, which is famous for being harsh in China. It is also a big seller around the world.
Many countries have purchased animation copyrights. Although the Blu-ray discs sold in the market are only considered excellent, the revenue of major pay TV stations is very good, and the rebroadcast commission has always been a high profit.
In particular, many educational institutions have almost all purchased a set.
The animation producer, David Production Company, a subsidiary of Fujisan Television, has made a lot of money from "Working Cells".
This is the gold content.
If Oda Shingo had his own funds, he would definitely invest in this animation alone.
However, the launch of animation has always required a large amount of funding and is very time-consuming.
"If "Cells at Work" is animated, it will be at least the year after tomorrow, right?" Oda Shingo sighed and said to himself helplessly.
The girls looked at him.
Namikaze Yukaku asked: "It takes so much time?"
"Yes. Raising funds from multiple sources, plus recruiting a team, two years is not enough." Oda Shingo smiled bitterly. "I have some savings." Namikaze Youkaku came over and whispered.
In fact, it was the dowry she had been saving, and she still had one or several hundred thousand yen. She would not feel bad if she gave it all for Oda Shingo.
Even if I have a lot of money, this is not Zhang Fei's fault. Oda Shingo didn't even ask her how much she had, and just shook his head: "Thank you, this is something not a few people can afford."
The investment in animation is very high. Now it is basically a high cost of 15 million per episode, and some dramas have reached the cost of 50 million per episode.
Even if it is to produce a drama that is ridiculed by comic fans as a PPT effect, it will cost at least 5 million yen. Also include millions in distribution channel fees and promotional media costs.
Now that the golden age of money-burning is gone forever, Japanese companies simply dare not bear it independently.
For experience in this area, you can ask Urushihara Tomoshi about the story of how an episode of animation brought down a company...
This great master has been repaying the huge debts incurred from animation production since 2006.
Although the company went bankrupt, there were many loans in personal names, so sources said that because the loan interest rates were not low, even at his peak it would take more than 30 years to repay the debts...
However, someone revealed that a senior producer in the industry reminded Urushihara Tomoshi that all the women you draw are pretty good, but this is how you draw a bear... It’s hard to explain in one word!
With her figure-shaped breasts and deep cherries, otakus all said they couldn’t move!
But Satoshi Urushihara remains determined...
So I came to the conclusion that it would be difficult for this great god to turn around in this life.
Before the Japanese animation drama project is established, many companies will invest, and everyone will share the damage together, and then share the dividends according to the agreement.
If we make money, everyone wins, and we share the meat with a big bowl of wine. If there is a loss, the strength of a single family will not be severely damaged by selling children.
So when watching animated dramas, 99% of the time there will be a title such as XX production committee or XX production team. This is a production team established by several companies together.
This method also directly led to the long process of animation project approval.
For example, the comic "Cells at Work" was published in 2015. It won many awards in 2016 and entered the animation preparation process in the first half of the same year.
Then it took almost two years of preparation.
It was not until the first half of 2018 that the animation was announced, because it took more than a year to save enough start-up capital, and another half a year to recruit people.
Oda Shingo's current wealth is close to 10 million yen, and it is difficult to even produce an episode.
So things like animation still depend on fate.
At this time, Oda Shingo received a call from the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
"Teacher Oda, thank you for your hard work!" It was the assistant director. He first expressed his gratitude to Oda Shingo and told him that the results were very good. At the same time, the number of online viewers exceeded 40,000. According to rough statistics, the cumulative number of viewers exceeded 500,000 in just one day.
The assistant director politely said that he was supposed to come to the door, but he was impatient, so he called to announce the good news first.
"Where is it?" Oda Shingo naturally knew that this was a polite comment. Even though he was just an assistant, he was also a public employee and had a higher level than the director of the local public security department.
"Teacher Oda, if you can, please release the second episode as soon as possible!" the assistant director asked Oda Shingo.
They had already seen the first two chapters brought by Oda Shingo last time, but contrary to their expectations, the official version was released in color.
The effect was very good. Not to mention that the old director was quite satisfied, even the employees of the Department of Culture felt they had found a treasure.
"No problem, I can upload it tomorrow morning." Oda Shingo confirmed.
After expressing his gratitude, the assistant director brought another news: "The Tokyo Board of Education contacted us and plans to include the characters and stories of "Working Cells" in the systematic education promotion tour at the end of autumn."
"Huh?" Oda Shingo was a little surprised.
Just one word, actually had such a big social feedback? ! The Board of Education is here?
With the help of the official power of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, the value of educational comics has far exceeded Shingo Oda’s expectations!
