My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 264: Ratings
After Xi Muhan watched the first episode of the animation, he eagerly clicked on the forum and looked at the replies with joy.
Since freshmen must live on campus, Xi Muhan lives with three other girls. The other three people usually soak in the study room, and now only Xi Muhan is left in the entire dormitory.
Originally, Xi Muhan was also going to the study room, but today was the premiere of "Soul of the Chess". She wanted to see "Soul of the Chess" for the first time, so she returned to the dormitory ahead of time.
Xi Muhan rarely watched anime. The last one she watched was Shen Xin's "ys", but she only watched the first few episodes. The later plots were changed so much that she didn't want to watch it anymore.
In terms of her superficial knowledge of comics, the quality of "Gossip" is significantly higher than that of "ys". As for how high it is, she has no idea.
But after reading the posts on Manjia.com forums, Xi Muhan also had some understanding of the production level of "Soul of Chess", that is, "Soul of Chess" is better than most animations, and it is still much better.
Xi Muhan just finished reading a post on the 100th floor and clicked on a post with a screenshot of "Hire of the Game", and the door of the dormitory was pushed open by his roommate.
She looked back at the person entering the room. It was a girl with a double ponytail, holding a copy of the Outline of World Civilization in her hand.
This girl's name is Liu Yan, Xi Muhan's roommate. I usually like to watch world history, and I also recommended some good European and American history to Xi Muhan. She is relatively quiet, but after getting familiar with it, many people will find that she has another side that is unknown.
Liu Yan and Xi Muhan have a good relationship, and they often chat after turning off the lights.
It's just that Xi Muhan usually reads Chinese history more often, and world history just looks at it casually, so the two people often talk apart.
Liu Yan put the book on the desk and noticed that Xi Muhan was smirking at the screen, and leaned in curiously.
"What are you doing? With a smirk on his face."
"Huh?" Xi Muhan was taken aback, and quickly put away his smile, looking at Liu Yan with some embarrassment, as if someone had discovered some little secret, "You...didn't you go to self-study?"
"Tomorrow a library is preparing for an event, it is closed, and the other libraries are full of people, so I will come back first...what are you looking at?"
"No, just look at the forum." Xi Muhan said quickly.
"Historical Forum?" Liu Yan looked at the computer screen, "Huh? "Soul of the Game"? What kind of dynasty is this?"
Xi Muhan coughed dryly, "This is not history, but animation."
"Huh?" Liu Yan grinned, "Usually you write non-nutritive text, forget it, and watch these non-nutritive animations."
"You didn't watch it, how do you know that it's no nutrition?"
Xi Muhan was a little dissatisfied, if Liu Yan said she would just forget it, and said Shen Xin, she couldn't bear it.
Besides, "Gossip" is not a nutritious comic.
"It goes without saying that people under the age of 11 read it."
"This comic is read even by adults. There are some professional chess players. Your knowledge of Go can't compare to professional chess players, right?"
"That's not necessarily. If it's the history of Go, I might know more."
"..."
With this kind of nerd, there is nothing to say.
Xi Muhan bulged his cheeks, pulling down the post depressedly.
"Pause!"
Liu Yan suddenly stopped behind her, shocking Xi Muhan.
"What's the matter?" Xi Muhan looked at Liu Yan puzzled.
"Who is this boy painting? So beautiful?" Liu Yan said, pointing to the screen.
Xi Muhan looked at the screen again, which happened to be the screenshot of Zuo Wei's animation. Zuo Wei's elegance and elegance are vividly reflected in this screenshot.
Only then did she remember that Liu Yan likes history, but prefers the historical story of "selling rot".
"Ahem...Do you want to know?" Xi Muhan gave a light cough.
"Yeah." Liu Yan nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Then let's start from the beginning." Xi Muhan took a deep breath. Her primary goal now is to make Liu Yan a reader of "The Soul of Chess".
...
The next day, the ratings of major animations on Saturday were published on Manjia.com.
With a ratings of 7.5%, Gossip squeezed into the top ten.
For a new comic, this is an ideal result. The comics in "icfuture" magazine ranked higher than "Soul of chess" are only "Killer's Diary" and "The Legend of the Dragon King", and even "Hunting Abyss" is behind "Soul of chess".
Long Yao's general manager, Long Tian, saw the ratings and couldn't close his mouth at all.
This is only the ratings of the first episode. If the trend is stable, the ratings of "Gossip" is likely to exceed 9%. By then, the sales of DVDs and bd will be very much anticipated.
The TV station paid 65% of the production costs, advertising companies and game companies also paid 15%, and the Han National TV station also paid a large amount of broadcasting fees. In addition, in April, two new episodes were broadcast continuously. Sales are also good. Long Yao finally had a lot of working capital.
Although there is still a certain gap compared with Long Yao at its peak, as long as the sales of DVDs and bd are not too bad, Long Yao will come out of the quagmire and resurrect with blood.
The only pity that Long Tian feels is that the company does not have the copyright of District 11, and the ratings and sales of "Soul of the Game" in District 11 have nothing to do with Long Yao.
Long Tian felt like he had missed a hundred million.
There are gains and losses, right?
If there is no orochi, the picture will not have such high quality. By the way, there is music. Soya deliberately found a high-level producer. Therefore, the music of "Gossip" is also a highlight.
Long Tian is not a fool either. Although he does not make as much money as making it alone, the production cost is reduced and the risk is also lower~lightnovelpub.net~ More importantly, in this way, Long Yao will have the funds and energy. Go for original animated movies.
"Well, take the time to collect some books and read them."
Long Tian rubbed his chin, a little excited. Making manga animations, and never making original animations have a sense of accomplishment.
At this moment, the fax machine on the desk rang suddenly, and a form was printed out quickly.
Long Tian glanced at the text on it, crooked and twisted, either horizontally or vertically or in a circle.
He chirped twice, a little helpless.
Others are blind or face blind, he is word blind.
In his opinion, most of the Han Chinese characters are similar in length.
After thinking about it for a while, he called the company's translator.
Soon, a young man with glasses knocked on the office door.
"Look at what is written on this?" Long Tian handed the fax to the young man.
"Oh, it's the ratings of "Soul of the Game" in Han country."
"What result?" Long Tian asked curiously.
"6.6%, in the top ten of all animations."
"what?"
Long Tian immediately became interested. Unexpectedly, the ratings of "Hire" in Han country should be so high, can the next time the broadcast rights be sold more expensive?
Suddenly, Long Tian was full of expectations for the future of "Hire of Go" animation.
