Chapter 104: Radio drama
"What do you need the magazine to do for "Y’s"?" Song Tai asked.
"Let’s not talk about the second promotion, because I am not sure whether I can enter the second stage of the comic festival. As for the first promotion, my request is not difficult. "Y’s" will be released as a radio drama." Shen Xin said.
"Radio drama?"
The other four people were all taken aback, but Shen Xin unexpectedly wanted to use a radio drama to promote "Y’s".
Radio dramas are also called broadcast dramas or sound effects dramas. As the name suggests, audio-based dramas are somewhat similar to audio novels, but there are certain differences from audio novels.
First of all, radio dramas are mainly dialogue, and different roles are dubbed by different people. If you want to achieve the best results, you need to invite professional voice actors. In addition, there are also sound effects. Probably equivalent to a series or animation with invisible screens.
Audio novels are more narrations, and usually only one person reads them.
Secondly, radio dramas will revise the original work and may add new plots, while audio novels are more faithful to the original work, and sometimes even typos will be pronounced.
Yan Fei thought a little, and immediately understood Shen Xin's thoughts.
Love comics like "Y’s" are still quite suitable for launching radio dramas. As long as the seiyuu has a certain strength, the emotions between the male and female protagonists can be transmitted through voice.
Similarly, some suspense comics can also choose radio dramas, especially in the middle of the night, with weird background sounds, so that the audience can experience the immersive feeling.
And hot-blooded comics like "Hunting Abyss" are not suitable, because many fighting scenes and the appearance of monsters are hard to imagine just by listening to the sound, not as straightforward as the animation.
In addition, radio dramas do not need to produce screens, the cost is lower than animation, and the production cycle is relatively short.
As a price, the publicity effect of radio dramas is far inferior to animation.
Shen Xin's choice should be helpless.
"The magazine can cooperate." Song Tai nodded.
Song Ren also rarely objected, but the look on Shen Xin was very strange-is this guy stupid? How much does it cost to make a radio drama?
"Mr. President, I haven't finished speaking yet." Shen Xin waved his hand again and again.
"Didn't you say that the radio drama was the first promotion you asked for?" Song Ren was surprised at Song Tai's previous warning, not taking care of it.
"Yes, but I have a little requirement for the production of radio dramas." Shen Xin looked innocent.
Song Ren was patient, looking at Shen Xin, feeling a little unhappy.
"Then what is your request?" Song Tai asked.
"First of all, voice actors are looking for well-known voice actors, especially Iori's dubbing, which must be the hottest in recent months. Secondly, although "Y's" has been published in two volumes, the length is still too short. I hope that the magazine will be able to do so. Find a writer and write some original plots. Of course, it’s better to have a certain reputation."
"Hey, Teacher Shen, have you considered how much it will cost to hire the most popular voice actors and famous writers?" Song Ren couldn't help knocking on the table.
"This is not my consideration. I only know that this condition does not affect the normal development of the magazine. Right, the president?" Shen Xin asked Song Tai.
Song Tai touched the scum with his left hand and tapped his index finger on the table. After thinking for two or three minutes, he nodded and said: "As the signature comic of "NewWorld", I am qualified to make these requests. I will try my best to find it."
Yan Fei glanced at Shen Xin, but found that Shen Xin was smiling. With her understanding of Shen Xin, he should have something to say.
"Teacher Shen, you shouldn't ask for it?" Song Tai looked solemn.
Shen Xin rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, "Actually...I have a small request."
"Huh?" Song Tai's face tightened, why is there any more?
"Ahem... Ms. Shen, next time, please finish talking at once."
"I want to say too, but wasn't it interrupted by the president's assistant just now?" Shen Xin explained.
"you……"
Song Ren patted the table, and then saw Song Tai's gaze, and could only endure it.
"I hope that the "Y’s" radio drama will have a digital version and provide it for free download. The physical version will not be released."
"How is it possible? Do you want publishers and magazines to drink Northwestern Wind? All for free? How do we make money?" Song Ren stood up at the table, his face flushed.
The editor-in-chief also stood up quickly, "Song Shao is angry, it's not impossible to talk about these."
"Editor in chief, I still think the digital version is better." Shen Xin said.
"Mr. Shen, it is free to download. No company is willing to take this order. Doing so will really lose money." The editor-in-chief frowned. The first time he saw Shen Xin today, he realized that Shen Xin's temper was so persistent.
"Yes, it must be lost. The sales of "Y’s" will also be greatly reduced." Song Ren also took the opportunity to say.
Yan Fei rubbed her forehead. Shen Xin's conditions were bolder than she thought. Will the president really agree?
The meeting room fell into silence, and everyone looked at Song Tai.
Song Tai closed his eyes, crossed his fingers in front of him, and pondered for a long time.
Song Ren's index finger tapped on the table, a little impatient, his brows gradually twisted together.
It took about five or six minutes before Song Tai opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on Shen Xin.
"I know. However, I have to decide in what form the radio drama produced will be downloaded for free."
"Dad, how can you agree? This will cost a lot of money?" Song Ren scratched his head anxiously.
"Shut up. Just listen carefully with your ears~lightnovelpub.net~ Song Tai glared at Song Renyi, and then looked at Shen Xin.
Shen Xin lowered his head in thought for a long time, and finally nodded, "I know. Then please come to the president."
"Well. The voice actor and the author, I will talk about it personally. Also, before October, I will be responsible for the separate book of "Y’s". Teacher Shen, is this all right?" Song Tai asked Shen Xin.
"Trouble the president. If "Y's" can enter the second stage, I hope to discuss the promotion of "Y's" from July to October before June." Shen Xin said.
"I look forward to your better results." Song Tai stood up and shook hands with Shen Xin.
The first meeting of the two people ended in this way.
After leaving the meeting room, Shen Xin let out a sigh of relief. He had said so much, but he was actually very nervous.
Before crossing, he chatted with the editor in charge of the website at most, and wrangled. Like today, this is the first time I have a direct interview with a company leader. The result was good, reaching his ideal expectations.
"How did you think of the radio drama?" Yan Fei whispered when she was more than ten meters away from the conference room.
""Y’s" is very restricted. I have to find another way. Radio drama is a good entry point," Shen Xin said.
"You mean a different way, you mean radio drama?" the editor-in-chief asked.
Shen Xin smiled and said nothing.
"Hey, Shen Xin, shouldn't your main goals be voice actors and writers?" Yan Fei patted her hand gently, and figured out the key, "The better the voice, the more popular the writer, and the more popular it is for "Y's". The greater the promotional effect of, you want to attract their fans to "Y's"."
"That's right." Shen Xin nodded slightly, which is also an alternative "drainage."
