A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

In fact, the wave that "Rebel Story" set off in the animation fan community is beyond the imagination of many people in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry. ✿.｡.:* ☆:**:. .:**:.☆*.:｡.✿

For several days in a row, long queues can be seen in major peripheral stores in the first-tier cities of Longguo, waiting to buy animated BDs. As for the small cities, there is basically no stock.

Xia Yan has been communicating with manufacturers in various ways, but it is true that with Puella Magi Madoka Magica's current reputation and popularity, it is a bit difficult to increase production capacity in just a few days.

Two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, five hundred thousand.

The sales volume of the second volume of Puella Magi Madoka Magica is increasing at a terrifying speed. And Xia Yan doesn't need to calculate the actual sales volume of this work in the market.

Because as long as it leaves the factory, it will definitely be sold out. We only need to count the factory quantity.

And it’s not just the domestic Dragon Kingdom that has sales demand for animated BDs. There are dozens of countries overseas in the Dragon Kingdom, all of which are affected by the radiation of the Dragon Kingdom’s two-dimensional culture. The number of people living in those countries is not inferior. The population of Dragon Kingdom is just that the second-dimensional culture is not as rich as that of Dragon Kingdom.

But if you really think about it, the market is actually not that small.

Overseas countries have also introduced Puella Magi Madoka Magica's animation in the past month or two, which has also resulted in this work also having a large fan base overseas.

At this time, the large-scale peripheral distributors in Long Kingdom who were belatedly reacted finally.

Several large peripheral dealers in the Dragon Kingdom have almost all contacted Xia Yan's Xia Tang Animation Production Company in the past two days, hoping to obtain the overseas distribution rights of Puella Magi Madoka Magica's bd and other peripheral works.

After all, the production cost of BD is not high.

Most of the excess profits go to the publisher, producer Xia Tang Animation Production Company, and the retail bosses who actually open peripheral stores. These three parties each share almost one-third of the sales revenue.

But in fact, for popular animations like Magic Circle, Xia Yan, as the producer, has a strong say in negotiations. In fact, 35% to 40% of the sales are Xia Yan's company's profits.

In the Dragon Kingdom area, these large peripheral companies rejected Xia Yan's request for cooperation more than half a year ago when Magic Circle was not aired, and missed out on the agency distribution rights for Magic Circle's domestic bds and some peripheral works. Now Xia Yan Yan has signed contracts with other companies, but they have no choice but to watch Magic Circle making money in the bd market. In fact, they already regret it and are about to cry.

But overseas distribution rights will certainly not be let go.

In the past few days, Xia Yan had been negotiating these matters at light speed with the persons in charge sent by these companies.

Anyway, it depends on how much profit the other party can make from this cooperation, as well as the strength of the other party.

In fact, the conditions offered by several companies are similar.

But after all, this is a business worth hundreds of millions, and Xia Yan is more cautious. After all, 1% of the profit is a profit of more than several million.

Moreover, Xia Yan also deliberately delayed the progress of the negotiations.

Wait until a few days later

The BD sales data for the second volume of Puella Magi Madoka Magica are released.

A total of 1.9 million copies were sold in the first week

Of course, practitioners in the animation industry in Longguo have heated discussions about this.

The first volume of "The Story of Rebellion" sold more than one million copies in its first week. After this week's fame of the theatrical version, it is only natural that the second volume will sell even more.

That’s 1.9 million.

"Breaking the record again!"

"What was expected is that Mo Yuan's work is so popular. It is inevitable to break records. It just depends on how far it is broken. But with 1.9 million first-week sales, I actually don't know what to say. ♦♗  ♦♦ This animation is divine, and “Soldier of Love” is even more divine!”

"It should be easy to break 1.7 million copies in the first week and total sales to exceed 3 million."

"This is inevitable. The five bd volumes of Puella Magi Madoka Magica's main plot can easily sell an average of one million volumes. In addition, if the two volumes of the theatrical version both sell an average of three million volumes, then the bd volume of this work The total sales volume may exceed 10 million!”

"If the total sales of Magic Circle BDs really exceed 10 million, it will be the eighth work in the history of the Dragon Kingdom animation industry to achieve this achievement."

"And among the works that have sold over 10 million BDs, it has the fewest animation episodes and theatrical volumes, and the highest average volume sales."

"Like "Mystery of the Dragon", the enlightenment work for most animation fans in Dragon Kingdom, although it was born thirty-two years ago, the total sales volume of animation bd exceeds 19 million copies, but the number of bd volumes of this animation also exceeds thirty volumes , the number of TV animation episodes has exceeded fifty, and there are four theatrical versions. Other works such as "Black Legend" and "King of Knights" are also in a similar situation, although the total sales of animated bds have exceeded 10 million or even 2,000. Ten thousand copies, but they are all works that have been produced for more than ten years, and the number of animation episodes is more than 30. It is only due to time and the length of the work that so many copies of the animation BD are sold. "

"Magic Circle is different. It has only been born for half a year. The average sales volume of the TV animation volume exceeds one million. It should be achieved next month. The average sales volume of the theatrical animation volume is three million. It should be sold within a month. If it is small The total sales volume of Madoka Magica's BD has exceeded 10 million copies, and the average sales volume of Puella Magi Madoka Magica is definitely the highest among this batch of works, and is much higher than other works. "

"He is truly a god! This work is from Mo Yuan."

"I heard that the production budget for the TV animation of this work was only more than 10 million, and the theatrical animation was only more than 10 million, and then it cost about 20 million to buy broadcast seats and GG fees. With this little cost, it can actually be played in Long It caused such a big disturbance in the Chinese animation industry.”

"If this work sells well overseas, I'm afraid the final total revenue will be in the hundreds of millions, or even over one billion."

"Xia Tang Animation Production Company became famous with one work. "Soldier of Love" is also a god with one work."

"The wood is as beautiful as the forest, but the wind will destroy it. The work Magic Circle created by "Soldier of Love" is indeed very powerful. But he cannot always be so powerful. His debut work has such achievements, but in fact, the pressure in his subsequent creative career will be Very big. Fans and the industry will have too high expectations for him. If the next animation work is not handled well, it will probably be criticized as a dog. "

"So what, that's for the next work. If I were a "Soldier of Love", why would I be thinking so much? Just consider the subsequent income from eating magic circles in this life, and release a theatrical version every two years to make money. Peace of mind for the rest of your life.”

The most intuitive feeling people in the animation circle have about Magic Circle is how much money it can make.

After all, to create an animation that is so popular, so many fans are willing to spend real money to support it, and it is unanimously regarded as a masterpiece, the blessing it brings to the reputation of the creator is fictitious, and the real money earned is real. .

The entire Xia Tang Animation Company of Xia Yan is naturally gearing up to calculate these contents.

Madoka Magica's animation BD sales share will have to wait at least one or two months before arriving in the account. However, during this period of time, Puella Magi Madoka Magica has been introduced and broadcast in 26 overseas countries, of which 14 countries have broadcast The copyright fees have already been paid.

In total, 97 million Dragon Kingdom coins.

From the data point of view, generally speaking, the average cost of introducing Dragon Kingdom animation works in overseas countries is between 900,000 and 1.2 million. However, this is a non-exclusive introduction. If it is an exclusive introduction by a TV station, , the price will double.

And if it is a popular animation, the price will double the above.

And popular anime like Puella Magi Madoka Magica

After fierce competition among overseas TV stations, they finally settled on this price range.

Although the more than 90 million yuan is only part of the revenue of Magic Circle, it also gives Xia Tang Animation Production Company, which is already in some financial crisis, a big sigh of relief.

That night, Xia Yan booked the largest high-end restaurant near the company and held a celebration party for Madoka Magica.

Xia Yan, who never liked drinking, also got a little drunk at the meeting.

Moreover, the prize money for Puella Magi Madoka Magica's work was also determined at this celebration banquet.

According to the rank and salary level of their respective positions, each person will be paid a year and a half, that is, eighteen months of income, as employee bonuses for the success of this animation.

In fact, it's not a lot. After all, when Xia Yan first established this company, everyone's salary level was not high. The salary of dozens of people in one and a half years was just over 10 million. Compared with the estimated income of Puella Magi Madoka Magica Say, a drop in the bucket.

but

This kind of bonus payment range is already quite explosive in the Dragon Kingdom animation industry.

For many animations produced by other companies, let alone a bonus of 10 million, it would be considered good if the entire work could earn a few million.

The members of the production team of Magic Circle were naturally smiling, and the production team of "Cyberpunk Edgewalker" who had just hired Xia Tang from various companies were even more excited.

At least Xia Yan told them with practical actions that his boss was not a tough guy. As long as the work makes money, there will definitely be no shortage of bonuses.

It's night

Tang Yin and Song Lingjun helped Xia Yan leave the restaurant.

Xia Yan was actually a little dizzy after drinking, but his brain was still clear.

"It's over! Madoka Magica." Tang Yin said with some melancholy.

Why, do you still miss it a little bit? "

Xia Yan leaned his head against the car window and watched the taxi driver in the front seat driving. In his eyes, the driver's hands were double-imaged. He also understood that he had indeed drank too much tonight, but he still smiled. said.
