Chapter 212: There is only one truth!

Just when everyone was talking about the sales of "Werewolf".

This is the prehistoric side.

Chen Lin also received a call from Su Peng.

"Mr. Chen, I saw that you are going to update an anime called "Detective Conan". Would you consider launching it on our B station?"

After going through so many things, Su Peng has become much smarter.

As long as it is a promotional CG produced by Honghuang, no matter whether it is good or bad, just get it first.

Judging from his long-term collaboration experience with Honghuang, this anime, which was specially mentioned in the announcement, is definitely not simple.

It should be at least a half-year series!

"You're pretty quick."

Chen Lin said with a smile, he didn't expect this guy to contact him so quickly. He hadn't even considered how to distribute this anime yet.

"Hey, when it comes to doing business, time is everything."

Although Su Peng, as a manager, no longer needs to pull resources to achieve performance on his own, he will still personally contact some resources that he believes have great potential.

Especially now that Honghuang is becoming famous due to the launch of "Red Dead Redemption", it is a good time to strike while the iron is hot and take advantage of the popularity.

A half-year series is enough for him to take action.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "I wonder what Mr. Chen's plan is?"

Chen Lin: "Plan on it. Find a platform that can handle this anime. Detective Conan is quite special. Ordinary small and medium-sized platforms can't handle it."

hiss!

Can’t take over small and medium-sized platforms?

Su Peng was shocked.

Even when updating the "Yu-Gi-Oh" anime before, Chen Lin never said such words.

Is this "Detective Conan" also an annual show?

But even for annual series, the price is generally around 10 million, and the price is only doubled for exclusive broadcast. Those medium-sized platforms can still buy it if they mobilize funds.

"Mr. Chen, do you want to make a long-running anime series?"

“That’s about right, so the price will be a bit high.”

“How much will it cost?”

"160 million viewers for exclusive broadcast and 80 million viewers for multiple platforms."

Chen Lin spoke calmly and directly quoted the specific price.

After hearing this, Su Peng took a deep breath.

The exclusive broadcasting rights worth more than 100 million yuan, unless otherwise stated, are for one year. Not to mention small and medium-sized platforms, even Bilibili has to weigh the matter carefully before taking action.

This is not a bit high at all.

It's simply cannibalism!

They made more than 100 million in one year, which is something they can say without even breathing hard, especially with their previous films "Titanic" and "Resident Evil".

But the copyright fees for movies are different from those for animation.

You can't generalize at all!

"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen, are you sure it's this price?"

Su Peng asked in disbelief.

"Yes, that's the price. That's why I said not everyone can afford it." Chen Lin said with sarcasm.

"For such a high price, there should be a lot of episodes, right?"

"It's a lot, a conservative estimate would be 1,000 episodes."

"Pfft!...How much? 1,000 episodes!?"

Su Peng originally wanted to drink some water to calm himself down, but he vomited it out as soon as he drank it.

His embarrassed appearance immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding employees, who all looked curious.

“Cough cough cough…”

Su Peng coughed violently, stood up and held on to the desk, but he didn't care about his image and quickly calculated in his mind.

1,000 episodes, 160 million, which means 160,000 per episode.

Compared to those popular anime, it's not too outrageous.

But the base is so huge that the cost is 1,000 episodes at a time, which drives the cost to such an outrageous level.

Even he didn't dare to make a decision easily.

But he was a little reluctant to give up the exclusive broadcasting rights, because he knew that Chen Lin was not the kind of person who would make a random offer.

Since they dare to offer a price of 160 million, it means that this anime is really worth that much!

He could not trust his own judgment.

But one cannot help but believe in the vision of this Honghuang boss.

It is precisely because of this person's unique vision that Honghuang has been able to reach its current stage and become one of the top game studios in the country.

finally.

After hesitating for a long time.

Su Peng made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Okay! I will reserve the exclusive broadcasting rights for this animation first. When the time comes, I will go to Honghuang to discuss it in person and learn about the specific situation."

Of course, it is impossible to decide a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars with just a few words.

He also has to go there in person to confirm the content of the anime to see if it is worth investing in.

"Are you sure you want to? Don't you want to discuss this with the higher-ups?"

"No, as the marketing manager, I still have a few big project quotas on hand. As long as the losses are not too serious, it will be fine."

"Well, just let me know when you come over. I have something else to do, so let's talk about this first."

Snap——

After hanging up the phone, Su Peng breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that if he rashly took on such a large project, his superiors would definitely question him.

If he fails to make back his investment, he will not lose his position, but he will inevitably be criticized in meetings.

"Alas, I will be busy again."

Muttering, he put down the phone, turned around and left, hurrying .

…

A week later.

Home page of station b.

A huge poster appeared above the promotional banner.

【There is only one truth! 】

Under the conspicuous red subtitles, a young man wearing blue suit shorts, sneakers and big-framed glasses pointed at the screen.

Behind him there was a shadowy figure who looked like him as a grown man, also in the same pose, as if the murderer was the audience.

"Haha, is this the criminal investigation anime I mentioned before? It's actually been updated on Bilibili."

Friends who are surfing the Internet.

They soon noticed the newly updated promotional poster and clicked on it.

They only heard of this anime by chance when they were watching the anchor playing Werewolf.

Now that I suddenly see it, I am naturally very curious.

on the contrary.

Those video platforms that learned that Bilibili bought the copyright of this anime at a high price began to gloat over it.

"The top management of Bilibili must be crazy. They spent over 100 million just for the copyright of an animation."

"Even the best-selling long-form anime are priced around this price, and that's only if they've already become popular."

"This is not the way to spend money. After all, you are too confident."

After learning that Honghuang was going to release a new promotional animation, they called to find out more.

But when they heard the astronomical copyright fees, they were scared away.

Who would spend so much money to buy an anime that is not yet famous? Isn't that too much money?

So when they saw that B station had taken over this anime, these people laughed out loud, as if they had already seen how B station would suffer huge losses.

However, this does not affect the players and netizens.

At this time, everyone has gathered at Bilibili, wanting to see what the only criminal investigation-themed anime in recent years is like.

Because there are too few film and television companies that work on this type of subject matter.

"Here I come. As the spokesperson for the prehistoric world, how can I be absent?"

In the live broadcast room, Ouyang Xiao, who had just finished fighting with Xun'er and the other werewolf noobs, soon received a message to come over to live broadcast the anime content.

Even Xun'er and several other anchors took a break and watched anime with her online, making the live broadcast room very lively.

"It's been a while since I've seen a detective anime."

"There were a few movies released last year, but they were all tepid."

"I don't know how Hong Huang is doing."

"You'll know after you take a look."

In the voice channel, everyone else broadcast Ouyang Xiao's live broadcast to achieve real-time synchronization.

The live broadcast room was filled with comments constantly discussing similar film and television works that have been released in recent years.

soon.

The Play page opens.

I saw the number of episodes on the list at a glance and found that ten episodes were updated at once, and the first eight episodes were free, while the last two episodes were charged.

"What is going on here?"

"Are you going for the New Year's Eve show again this time?"

"It's only ten episodes. Don't you know that Yu-Gi-Oh has over 200 episodes?"

"That's different. Yu-Gi-Oh is a complete replica of the gameplay, so releasing it all at once will have the best publicity effect."

"Indeed, this anime is quite different from Werewolf at first glance. It is said that Honghuang released it to promote the criminal investigation market."

The audience was talking about it, and Honghuang’s announcement said that this anime will be released in a continuous updated manner.

In other words, these ten episodes are just the beginning, and the entire anime is obviously designed to last for half a year or even a year.

This made them even more interested. Could this type of subject matter really produce so much content?

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Xun'er's light exclamation came from the voice channel.

"This anime is updated twice a week?"

I saw that the update frequency was written at the beginning of the introduction at the bottom of the playback page, and it was twice a week.

It's so terrifying!

The live broadcast room immediately exploded.

Does Hong Huang really intend to continue updating this anime?

With strong curiosity.

Ouyang Xiao immediately clicked the play button and started playing the first episode.

[Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case! ]

Right from the start, the title stunned everyone.

"People die in the first episode, is it that intense?"

Xiaoqian in the voice channel said in shock.

Although she usually likes to watch horror movies, this is the first time she has seen someone die right at the beginning. It turns out that the CGs in the ancient times cannot be judged by common sense.

As I was thinking about it, the screen lit up.

After more than a minute of opening music, the main film finally began.

The opening scene is a murder scene in a mansion.

The owner of the mansion and the guests attending the banquet gathered in the hall and were surrounded and not allowed to leave by the guards who came to solve the case.

[Please, Officer Megure. ]

[How long are you going to hold my guest hostage? ]

[I don't have the time to accompany you in this kind of evidence-free search! ]

The owner of the mansion, an old man in a wheelchair, spoke impatiently to the police officer, obviously very dissatisfied with the restrictions on his movements.

The audience's eyes lit up and they were a little surprised when they saw this scene.

"The pace is good. It goes straight into the investigation without any nonsense."

"This is better. It's not like those TV dramas nowadays, where they try to make love the subject no matter what they are filming. Criminal investigation should be like criminal investigation."

"I bet fifty cents that this old man is definitely the murderer! "

"This is too obvious. His own guest died at home, and he was still rushing the police to hurry up. He is obviously a villain."

"That's right, there is only one truth!"

The audience learned and applied it immediately, and actually applied the copy on the promotional banner.

You know what, it feels quite good.

I’ll try it out in Werewolf next time.

[Alright, alright, sir.]

[After all, the dead were guests at your party.]

[The general manager of Baling Bank was killed here. Please be patient.]

As expected.

While they were discussing this, Officer Higurashi in the picture also said something similar. The murderer was actually very obvious, but there was no evidence.

When watching this kind of anime, you are watching the process of reasoning and solving cases.

Another way is to find out the real murderer before the anime characters and experience the sense of superiority of having your IQ crushed.

The opening of this anime uses very simple case reasoning and clues , which undoubtedly makes them feel superior. It has to be said that the entry point is very well chosen.

[You mean, the murderer is in here? ]

At this time, the owner of the mansion spoke up and questioned the police officer.

【You are right! 】

[The murder room is a secret room...]

Before the police officer could speak, a young figure in a blue suit walked in from outside, analyzing the case information.

It was exactly as they guessed.

After some ingenious reasoning and analysis of the murderer's modus operandi.

He suddenly raised his arm, making the same gesture as in the poster, pointing directly at the owner of the mansion.

[The murderer is you, sir! ]

In an instant, the live broadcast room became lively.

"I knew it would be him."

"You guessed it right. I do have a talent for detective work."
