By October 11, the entire DOS 15th Anniversary Celebration was over.
Takagi Makoto calculated it carefully, and it probably cost more than 30 million yen, which is close to 40 million.
Fortunately, although the remake of “Heartbeat House” can be said to be very sophisticated, the cost is not high. It does not cost 1 million yen for a word. Adding up to 24 episodes, the production cost is only about 20 million, plus the disc. A little cost of film production, more than 20 million.
Normally, a twenty-four-minute animation cost at least 10 million, and even those with more special effects may cost 20 million or even 30 million.
The remastered version of “Heartbeat House” is only four minutes, and there is half a minute of ed, which is equivalent to only three and a half minutes, and there are four episodes and one character. After all 24 episodes, there are only six characters in total.
There are only a few backgrounds, and there are no action scenes at all, and there is no need to add special effects. In this case, paying back one million yen is already a lot.
If you change to another company, if you plan to do it yourself, maybe 500,000 yen can do it.
It’s a pity that Makoto Takagi came here in 2006. At that time, it was too early to engage in this kind of first-person perspective animation. In addition, although he had watched the animation “Oneroom”, he did not remember the details.
If you travel through 15 years, a parallel world, and you can remember the animation of “oneroom”, and the first-person perspective animation has not yet appeared, this one is very suitable as an opening animation.
Of course, although it is suitable for that kind of start, if it is really such a situation, it will not be easy for companies and individuals to become famous, and there is no way to make a lot of money in a short period of time, only a small profit.
As for the “oneroom” of another world, the popularity is not big, but it will not be bad, otherwise it will not be out for three seasons.
The reputation is very good, countless people give good comments, but…
The audience basically only knows this animation, and the production company “Typhoon Graphics” for the first season of this animation, the production company “ZERO-G” for the second and third seasons, and the original creator “SMIRAL”, it is estimated that few people knowledge.
So, there are advantages and disadvantages.
Anyway, this is just an assumption.
Nearly 40 million spent out, and no visible benefits were obtained. I can’t say that it is not distressed at all, but in Takagi Makoto’s view, it is not a big deal.
Because this is equivalent to a kind of propaganda.
Starting from the second day, for a period of time, the sales of animations produced by DOS have generally risen, especially those classic old animations, except for “Heartbeat House” and “Heartbeat House (Remastered Edition)” which are not available on official channels. Continue to sell a lot.
In addition, it is probably because the DOS 15th anniversary party also invited a band that sang the theme song of “Your Name”, or it may be the credit of the 15th anniversary celebration itself. The little ground rose for a while.
Originally, the weekly box office was only about 300 million yuan. After the 15th anniversary of DOS, the weekly box office rose to more than 400 million or even 500 million.
The box office forecast for this animation originally given on the ticket purchase software was between 26 billion yen and 27 billion yen. Now it has become between 27 billion yen and 27.5 billion yen. between.
In other words, although nearly 40 million yuan was spent, the money earned from the box office of “Your Name” alone is more than that.
Those who participated in the carnival of the 15th anniversary of DOS may feel that they have made a profit, but DOS will never lose.
Unfortunately, although the 15th anniversary celebration can play a leading role, it will not last forever.
Entering November, the weekly box office of “Your Name” dropped again, and it became about 300 million yen a week.
Tuesday, November 13th.
Inside the DOS president’s office.
Takagi Makoto was busy as usual, when suddenly, the phone rang.
The person at the front desk called and said that it was Katsuhiro Ishida, the producer of Yuan Guan, who came to visit.
Instead of coming in directly, he had to call the person at the front desk to inquire, indicating that Ishida Katsuhiro came directly and did not go to Kawano Akino first.
Before that, Ishida Katsuhiro wanted to persuade Takagi not to seal the pen, but Takagi did not agree.
After that, Ishida Katsuhiro came to persuade him several times, but found that he was really unable to persuade him, so he didn’t run to Takagi Makoto again.
This time, I don’t know what I want to do again.
After all, it was from the Yuanguan side, and he still had to see if he should meet. Besides, they also came in person instead of calling him over by a phone call, which was already a shame.
When it is not particularly busy, there is no reason to refuse to meet with others.
Makoto Takagi spoke to the person at the front desk over the phone.
In a short while, he saw Ishida Katsuhiro in the office.
After some greetings, Takagi Makoto asked Ishida Katsuhiro to sit down and asked him to serve tea.
Ishida took a sip of tea, chatted with Takagi Makoto again, and then said routinely: “President Takagi, one last confirmation, are you really going to continue doing animation?”
“Yes, things that have already been decided will not be changed easily.” Takagi Makoto nodded.
Then, something unexpected happened to him.
Ishida Katsuhiro did not continue to persuade, but said: “In this case, I think you should hold a press conference to announce that you want to seal the pen.”
“Huh?” Takagi Makoto suddenly felt a little confused.
“Since you want to seal the pen, it’s best to tell everyone. It’s not a good idea to seal the pen so quietly, because there will be a lot of your fans waiting for your next animation. Let them wait.” Ishida Katsuhiro explained.
Takagi Makoto: “…”
That’s right. He also thinks that someone will be waiting for his next animation, but the crux of the problem is that the sealing pen this time is different from the original one.
At first it was only a strategic seal, but this time, the identity of “Takagi Makoto” really has no plans to come back. At the same time, the “Xu Yuanzhun” who wrote the script will continue to write it down.
Now, while declaring the pen, secretly write the script of Zhiyu animation with the identity of “Xu Yuanzhun”, with a guilty conscience.
Although he thinks he is a person with no conscience, this kind of thing is still a bit undesirable.
“What’s wrong? Is there any problem?” Ishida Katsuhiro saw that Takagi Makoto did not speak, a little confused.
“No.” Takagi Makoto shook his head slightly.
After thinking about it, he said again: “I have to think about this.”
“It’s okay to think about it, but I think it’s best to announce it earlier, because “Your Name” hasn’t been released yet after all. After the news of your seal is announced, you might be able to get many of your fans back to the cinema to do it again. At that time, this animation can hit the box office of 28 billion, and if you operate it, it is not impossible for 29 billion or even 30 billion.”
Ishida Katsuhiro said seriously, “I and our entire Yuan Guan, in fact, do not want President Takagi to seal the pen, but since he decided to seal the pen, really, let’s tell everyone early.”
