Akihabara Pioneer Road Chapter 204: 【Young man I met in Shiodome! ]
Tokyo. Newbridge area.
It's called "the capital's salaried man's paradise".
For nothing else, it is because it brings together a large number of top-notch and well-known companies in the industry, from advertising to communications, from media to film and television, is another CBD highland after Otemachi.
In addition, the restaurants and nightclubs and bars here are also well-known and densely populated places. Every night when the lanterns are on, the lights are bright and the lights are feasting. One by one, the drunken salarymen tie their ties to their foreheads and form a group. The team paced from the first banquet to any tavern by the roadside to continue the second banquet, the third banquet... A flourishing scene of singing and dancing.
The well-known "Neon TV" is located next to the "Shiodome" tram stop, which is a working paradise here, and it is unique among many office buildings.
Indeed, compared to the gorgeous Odaiba area and the unconventional TV building of "Mt. Fuji TV", this is the depths of the urban steel jungle, not to mention the grounded atmosphere, the TV building has a rigorous beauty of near-future urban architecture .
On the terrace on the third floor of the main building of Neon TV, there was a large crowd of people eating melons. What they were paying attention to was a middle-aged weatherman leading a yellow dinosaur cartoon character with a red "sausage mouth" - it was the cartoon star "Sorajiro" of the weather forecast on the TV station and was very popular with children.
Behind the forecaster and Soujiro, there are rows of children and their parents. Some of them were wearing Kakujiro's coats, some wearing Kakujiro's hats, and some holding up Kakujiro's dolls, waving at the cameras aimed at them.
"Okay, let's show the live footage to the children and their parents. Everyone seems to be very motivated!" The forecaster and Soujiro directed the camera to scan the parent-child families behind them, eyes full of eyes. "V" gesture and everyone's cheerful smile.
A little boy about two or three years old in the shot had never seen such a scene and was so frightened that he burst into tears.
There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the crowd, and Torishima Sumihiko, Aoyama Gangchang, and Linda in the crowd were also amused by this scene.
"Come on, kids. Come on, give Soujiro a high-five! ... Well, you are very brave! Well, let's forecast the weather in the capital area tomorrow, and the rain clouds will gradually disappear from the west of Tokyo in the morning. through the entire area of the city..."
Niaodao looked at his watch, pulled the other two people out of the crowd of melon eaters, and walked towards the elevator in the office area.
The time the TV animation department made an appointment with them was about a quarter of an hour after the live broadcast of the weather forecast.
The animation department of Neon TV is the first agency to issue an intention to cooperate with "AKBS Studio" for the animated version of "Detective Kenan".
After Lin Da also greeted Sukihiko Torishima, the editor of Juxian Club, the other party also expressed great interest in the cooperation.
So the two, together with the manga author Aoyama Kosho, accepted the invitation of the other party and went to the animation department office of the TV station to have further discussions on business cooperation.
To be honest, the success of "Detective Kenan" today was beyond the expectations of the editor of Torishima.
On the performance whiteboard of the editorial department of the youth comics of the publishing house, only the column chart of "Detective Kenan" can no longer follow the usual scale-because the number is too amazing, it directly throws out the second place and later Oversized!
This is simply a kind of existence against the sky in the recently sluggish comic journal market!
With this level of popularity, it is long overdue to discuss further expanding the visibility of the work and launching more media products.
Fortunately, the binding promotion of "AKBS Idol Theater" and comic works was a hit, and the idol theater was in the limelight in the "24-hour TV" program of Mount Fuji TV not long ago. "Detective Kenan" ” also took advantage of the east wind to soar a lot of fans.
The animation olive branch of the comics is constantly being thrown over, and it is time to consider this process line!
Neon TV has also produced several independent animation works of the TV station before, and the effect seems to be quite good. For example, a small weather forecast mascot cartoon image in the TV station has developed a series of derivative products such as clothing, stationery, dolls, daily necessities, etc. It can be seen that the TV station still has a lot of operating experience in related fields.
On this point, Torishima, Aoyama and Linda also reached a consensus.
The focus of the discussion today is the production level of animation, and the details of profit distribution. As for other derivative development projects, I am afraid that these three people don't need to worry any more.
The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor. After the door slowly opened, a young man dressed neatly and wearing acetate glasses seemed a little lost. After three people got off the elevator, he walked into the elevator in a hurry and found that the elevator would continue to run upwards. He quickly backed out.
Linda also glanced at him, feeling a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
Well, it does look like the person in the previous world, but I don't know if it is his deity.
Say not to give him a try.
"Well, may I ask, where do I go to the animation production department of Neon TV?" Lin Da also asked the slightly annoyed young man.
"Ah? What did you say? Oh, the animation production department. Go straight on the right and turn left when you see the toilet. The second door is on the left." The exact location of the destination.
"Ah, thank you. Are you an employee here?" Linda also continued to ask.
"What? Me? No, I'm not. I'm just...I'm just..." The young man's face began to look embarrassed and he stammered.
"Are you the partner here?" Linda also asked.
"Well, let's put it that way. It's just… hey, I can't say a word or two." The young man rubbed his hands together, and his face started to turn red.
Lin Da also guessed the number 10 in his heart, and he continued with a smile.
"Do you want to sit down and take the elevator to leave? Well, if you have time, can you wait for me for a while. We can talk about it carefully, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation."
"What did you say? Cooperation?" A flash of light suddenly flashed in the young man's eyes, revealing a kind of excitement that was not easily discernible, as if seeing a shining beacon on the dark sea.
"Uh, I-I'm fine. I have time~IndoMTL.com~ Then, please wait for us at the coffee shop on the second floor of the TV station. This is my business card." Linda also took out a Zhang Studio's business card handed him.
"Ah, thank you! That, it's mine!" The young man also took out a business card of his own and handed it to Lin Daye respectfully with both hands...
After the three people came to the reception room of the animation department's production office and sat down, in the waiting space, Qingshan couldn't help but asked Lin Daye, "Who was that person I met at the elevator just now? How do you know that we will meet with you? Does he have a business intersection?"
Linda just smiled and said nothing, thinking that what he had guessed before was not wrong at all.
That person, although it seems that he is still a heretic or a little-known practitioner, he will definitely become a trend-setter in the neon animation industry in the future.
That's right, the business card that the person handed to Lin Daye just now clearly stated his name, the independent animation producer who was very popular in the world before - "Xinhaicheng"!
Now, you may have encountered something unpleasant in the animation production department of Neon TV?
