Chapter 174: Choose a TV Station
Looking at the high-value checks with 200 million yen in hand, coupled with Zhao Chen's personal promise, Yuyuji Tono was quite moved. As a well-known figure in the animation industry, Yuyuji Tono is still very clear about the potential and capabilities of many industries in the world society. It can be said that all industries in the world society are still developing at an abnormal rate. Although Risheng Animation is a large animation club, Futu, as an insider, also knows that if there is no reform, Risheng Animation will be like this, and may gradually decline in the future.
After thinking for a while, Yuyuji Toyono gritted his teeth and finally agreed. As soon as he agreed, Yuyuji Toyono felt that he had relaxed a lot, and his inner tension disappeared. For him, doing such a thing will temporarily be unfavorable to his reputation. But as long as he enters StudioDEEN animation club, he believes that with the development speed of StudioDEEN animation club, his chances of becoming famous will undoubtedly increase greatly, which will be more beneficial to his future development.
But Futu never thought of the abnormal achievements that "Mobile Suit Gundam" will achieve in the future, otherwise he would even regret his intestines. If the current income is compared with his previous life, it is undoubtedly the difference between heaven and earth. After all, he owns most of the copyright of "Mobile Suit Gundam". Whether it is made into animations, novels, movies or peripherals, as long as it is genuine, it must give him certain benefits.
Zhao Chen was relieved when the transaction was concluded. Fortunately, Yuyuji Toyono agreed, otherwise he would not know how much it would take to acquire Gundam's copyright. However, this plan can only be regarded as the starting point. After all, there is still a small part of the copyright in the hands of Risheng Animation, and Futu can be regarded as the best breakthrough point relatively.
Zhao Chen was prepared for a long time and took out two contracts from his bag, one for the acquisition of Gundam's copyright, and the other for the StudioDEEN animation club.
Yuyuji Tono carefully identified it. After finding that there were no loopholes, he easily signed his daimyo. From this moment on, the copyright of "Mobile Suit Gundam" in Tomoto's hands will be Zhao Chen's subordinate, and he can also become Zhao Chen's subordinate at any time.
Yuji Tono is the animation supervisor and directing of HiSheng animation. Due to his status in HiSheng animation, he can inject some animation technology that he has in StudioDEEN animation club and better abduct employees in HiSheng animation!
However, Zhao Chen is also preparing to acquire the copyright in Risheng Animation, and he does not want to make both parties too irresistible for the time being. At that time, as long as the copyright acquisition is successful, he can crack down on Risheng Animation.
The two discussed it and finally decided that Yuyuji Tono will continue to work at Risheng Animation, but when they were at work, they proposed to the senior management of Risheng Animation to acquire the copyright they controlled, with the reason they wanted to leave Risheng Animation to establish an animation studio. In this way, there was no mention of the news that Zhao Chen and the copyright were acquired. As long as the price was enough, Risheng Animation would likely transfer the copyright to the empty shell animation studio founded by Yuyuji Tono.
Although the process is much trouble, the success rate of acquisition has undoubtedly increased many times. After all, Risheng Animation and Zhao Chen are truly hostile. If Tianxiashe directly acquires it, Risheng Animation may not be sold. Another possibility is that Lions speak out, but no matter which possibility it is, it will be quite unfavorable to Zhao Chen.
Of course. Even if Tono Yuji leaves Hiroshi Animation and forms an animation studio, even if this empty shell animation studio relies on Hiroshi Animation, the senior executives of Hiroshi Animation will definitely be furious. After all, "Mobile Suit Gundam" is currently one of the representative works of Hiroshi Animation and cannot be separated from it easily.
After leaving, Zhao Chen returned to the World Club. Since "Football Young Player" received quite good ratings on TVB and temporarily surpassed the "Mobile Suit Gundam" played by the beautiful TV station, the island country's TV station naturally paid some attention to this.
In this way, "Football Young Player" has been recognized by island TV stations, and the risks have dropped a lot. Because of this, more and more TV stations have raised their quotations for acquiring the premiere rights, and this time the quotation is obviously much higher than before.
In island countries, the six largest and most powerful ones are NHK TV, Fuji TV, Asahi TV, Japan TV, TBS TV and Tokyo TV. They basically cover the main playback areas of island countries, and some have expanded their business market overseas. Currently, the main playback platforms of island countries' TV animation are the above six. Therefore, the main animation battles are concentrated among them.
The same is true for the premiere of "Football Young Player". After all, "Football Young Player" has a considerable popularity in the island country, and has successfully "expert" in Xiangjiang. It has achieved good ratings in Xiangjiang, Macau, Baodao and Nanyang. As long as it is acquired, there is basically no need to worry about the ratings. There may be a chance to become a classic animation and create a ratings frenzy.
It is precisely because of this that "Football Young Players" suddenly became a hot commodity. The competition between these TV stations became increasingly fierce. The small TV stations were kicked out first, mainly due to insufficient funds. On the other hand, Zhao Chen was not favored, and in the end, only these six TV stations were left to compete.
The way of competition is very simple. It is not that the higher the bid, the first broadcast right will be purchased. The decision is entirely in the hands of Zhao Chen. He can sell it to anyone he wants, and the price is only the biggest measure.
The island country has a strong sense of copyright, and since major TV stations are basically private and highly competitive, no matter whether it is a TV series or an animation, there is basically only one TV station to play. If you want to watch this work, you can only lock it on this TV station, which also ensures the TV station's ratings and the loyalty of the audience. Unlike China, a work is broadcast on the other side, which leads to malicious competition between the two sides and the ratings are crazy, which is not good for both sides. The one that gets the benefits should be the company that produces TV series or animation. In other words, whether it is the so-called first broadcast or second broadcast, only one TV station can buy it. After that TV station is broadcast, the next round of TV series or animation can be sold.
In the president's office, looking at the report in his hand, Zhao Chen fell into deep thought. The highest offer this time was Asahi TV Station, but it was not much higher than the other ones. In general, the quotations of these large TV stations were almost the same.
The first one to eat TV animation in these TV stations was Fuji TV. The original name was Fuji in Chinese. However, later I felt that these two Chinese characters were more versatile, which was too difficult for children in the island country who had not started to learn Chinese characters, so I changed it to Fuji in the island country Katakana, and has been used to this day. This shows the importance of the TV station on children. Because of this, they were looking for TV programs that children liked at the beginning of their establishment. When they learned that Shizuka Shizuka had established his own animation company to produce animations that could be played on TV, they immediately consulted Tezuka, hoping that he could sell the broadcast rights of the animation to Fuji TV.
After that, several other TV stations also joined the ranks of playing TV animations. The latest was Tokyo TV, which only started playing animations in 1974, but became the TV station that likes to play animations the most, which is also a major feature of it. However, the disadvantages of Tokyo TV are also very obvious, because it is the smallest among the five private TV stations in the island country.
As for Asahi TV, the bid is just a little higher. On the other hand, Zhao Chen doesn't like the name of this TV station. Therefore, only Fuji and Tokyo are the first choice in Zhao Chen's mind. After all, they attach more importance to animation and their ratings may be higher than when broadcasting on other TV stations.
Both have their own advantages and the bids are similar. Fuji TV is significantly larger in scale, while Tokyo TV is currently the TV station with the most animation broadcasts every day, and it really has a lot of children.
In short, Zhao Chen will find it difficult to make a decision in a short period of time.
