Best wishes for animation production

He found that Gu Xue had been staring at him, thoughtfully.

Osawa Ryo couldn't help but ask: "...What's the matter? And you just said you would launch a new series, what were you talking about specifically?"

"there is nothing."

Gu Xue shook her head, pursed her lips to hold back her laughter, and puffed out her cheeks slightly: "I didn't, I was just talking nonsense, I don't understand anything."

Osawa Ryo: "..."

You are obviously lying to me!

He wanted to shout out like this, but he just couldn't.

Not only was he unable to shout, but he was also a little embarrassed to be looked at by Gu Xue. At the same time, he came up with a bold idea, and he even expressed this bold idea.

"Miss Gu Xue, are you interested in being a prototype for the figure? We can negotiate the cost of image licensing. By the way, if the figures of the "Little Witch Academia" series are released, can we invite you to help promote them? Just take a photo One or two promotional pictures would be nice..."

Chisa Mihara: "..."

"Go away, no."

The black line on Gu Xue's head.

Invite a supervisor in the animation studio to shoot promotional pictures and use them as prototypes. I really have yours...

"Don't you think about it?" He still refused to give up.

Gu Xue said expressionlessly: "Miss Mihara, I think we need to hire a security guard."

Chisa Mihara was silent for a moment and said: "Sekiya Acheng can take on the role concurrently, but if it doesn't work for me, I can do it..."

"Etc., etc!"

Mihara Chisa looked like she was going to take a knife.

Osawa Ryo seemed to know that the matter was impossible. He immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I was joking just now. Let's continue talking about the production of the theatrical version of "Little Witch Academia"..."

…

Next.

Gu Xue chatted with Osawa Ryo about some issues about the theatrical version of "Little Witch Academia".

It's mostly bullshit.

Specific matters cannot be negotiated at one time, let alone signing a contract on the spot.

The most important issue is funding. The other party also needs to estimate the production budget.

There is also the release time, the choice of distributor, the budget and method of publicity, all of which need to be determined.

Although it is a crowdfunded theatrical version and will only be released in a limited release, many things still need to be determined. After all, it is all money.

We chatted for an hour and a half.

Osawa Ryo said goodbye, then left the YUKI studio with satisfaction and returned happily.

Chisa Mihara went to see the other party out.

Gu Xue stayed in the conference room and was quite satisfied with the investor Small. After all, the other party was very sincere. It was rare to see such investors who did not want to take the initiative at all.

However...if the amount of crowdfunding hadn't continued to rise, Gu Xue estimated that the other party would not have agreed to YUKI Studio's request so easily, even if they urgently needed an IP to open up the market and prove themselves.

After all, it’s all thanks to the audience.

"A figure..."

After Gu Xu figured this out, he leaned back in his chair, stretched out, and temporarily put the investor's affairs behind him. He thought of another thing and looked ahead, feeling a little lost.

After Chisa Mihara sent the other party away, she turned back.

"Xiaoxue..."

"Miss Mihara." Gu Xue turned around when she heard Chisa Mihara's voice, interrupted her, and asked abruptly: "Do you know if there are products like Nendoroids in the figure market now?"

Chisa Mihara was a little confused: "Nendoroid?"

"Well...come with me."

Gu Xue thought for a while and found that it was too troublesome to explain, so she simply dragged Miss Mihara to her office, said "Wait a moment," sat down at the workbench, and started drawing.

A few minutes later.

A Q-version of Yaco appeared on the paper, only about ten centimeters tall, with an asymmetrical head-to-body ratio, one big and one small, but very cute and adorable.

"This." Gu Xue picked up the original drawing paper and showed it in front of Mihara Chisa, "Have you seen it?"

Although Gu Xue thought there was no such thing, she was not sure.

"...I've seen it in the anime, but there doesn't seem to be a figure." Chisa Mihara shook her head.

"Is this so..."

Gu Xue put down the original drawing paper and began to think deeply. After a while, she raised her head and said: "Miss Miyuan, can I trouble you? If you have time, help me investigate whether there are similar products on the market... Finally It’s better to do a brief survey of the popular figures on the market. You don’t need to be too detailed. Just do a rough survey and tell me about it.”

"good."

Chisa Mihara nodded immediately.

"..." Gu Xue smiled, "Miss Miyuan, didn't you ask me what I was doing? I agreed immediately..."

"I trust you."

"Okay..." Gu Xue scratched her face, a little embarrassed, "Actually, it's very simple. When I was chatting with that Osawa Ryo just now, I suddenly thought of... no, I thought of the Q version of the animated character. Isn’t this also suitable for making figures? It’s small and cute. This cute style may be unexpectedly popular. Moreover, because of the material and size, the price of this kind of figures is generally 200~300 It is much cheaper than ordinary figures, and the threshold for getting started is relatively low, so many light enthusiasts can afford such expenditures.”

"My idea is very simple. Isn't the small company where Osawa Ryo is working on repeatedly jumping on the edge of bankruptcy? If they get the copyright to use the characters of "Little Witch Academia" this time and do not succeed, then their company's situation will definitely It will be very bad. If we have spare money, we can take advantage of it..."

"Of course, it doesn't mean acquisition or anything. We just need to prove our ability and obtain a certain say in investment in animation production... If this toy peripheral manufacturer becomes bigger, we, YUKI, will The studio will have a backing, and when the time comes, it will be more confident to create original works.”

“And our capital to take advantage of this is the Nendoroid series.”

Gu Xue briefly explained her thoughts to Miss Mihara.

After listening to Gu Xue's words, Mihara Chisa's eyes lit up and she nodded, "Yes."

"..." The smile on Gu Xue's face froze, "Miss Mihara, don't you ask? For example, 'Can this kind of small doll really be sold?' or something like that, you believe me so much, I’m so stressed.”

"Originally, I just thought about it and asked you to investigate the market as a preparation. After all, I don't even know if I have any spare money after I finish producing the theatrical version of "Little Witch Academia", and I'm not sure if I have any. Wrong, I was also afraid that I would do something wrong when my brain got hot. I just wanted you to help me cool down my brain, but you didn’t even ask..."

Chisa Mihara lifted her hair from her cheek and tucked it behind her ears. Then she looked down at the ground and was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I believe you."

Gu Xue looked at Chisa Mihara, stunned for a while, and then suddenly let out a cry of unknown meaning.

"...Yingyingying."

Chisa Mihara: "Huh?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to call him that." Gu Xue smiled and was about to turn around and draw a few more Q-print pictures for Miss Mihara to take a look at.

But halfway through, Gu Xue couldn't bear it any longer. She suddenly screamed, jumped up, and hugged Chisa Mihara.

"Ah, you are so kind." Gu Xue rubbed Miss Mihara's cheek very hard.

Regarding the Nendoroid, Gu Xue is actually not very sure. The only source of confidence is the Good Smile Company, one of the three major figurine manufacturers on Earth, but now there is another one.

Chisa Mihara: "..."

Gu Xue finished rubbing her cheek, raised her head, her cheeks were slightly red and said: "This is compensation. You have to investigate carefully. Whether I can become a rich woman in the future depends entirely on you."

"...Yeah." Chisa Mihara agreed, with ripples swaying in her eyes.

The two of them were in no hurry to separate.

Mainly because Gu Xue is really touched now.

She suddenly didn't want to let go of Miss Mihara.

However, Gu Xue's feeling did not last long...

The hugged Chisa Mihara was silent for a long time, and at a certain time, she suddenly approached Gu Xue's ear and asked in a very small voice: "Xiaoxue...are the clothes you bought last time inappropriate again? "

"..."

Gu Xue suddenly felt as if she had been stepped on the tail of a fox, her face instantly turned red. She pushed Chisa Mihara away, with her arms protecting her chest, and said angrily: "Idiot! KY! I won't open any pot!"

Mihara Chisa really shouldn't pick up which pot... Gu Xue just tried it this morning, and she could even put on her sister Gu Rou's clothes. Not to mention how desperate she was at that time, she was already very Annoying, now Chisa Mihara has to bring it up...

Chisa Mihara seemed to really not understand the atmosphere, and asked again: "Do you want to go shopping together again?"

"roll roll roll!"

The blushing Gu Xue didn't want to continue this topic, so he walked around behind her and pushed her out of the office.

ah……

Chapter 3 will be later
