Chapter 339 Planning
Chapter 339 Planning
As the new year draws to a close, the temperature drops, but Code Geass remains as popular as ever.
However, the ratings have reached the point where they can’t go any higher.
Su Yan has been famous in Xia Country for so many years. Everyone in Xia Country, whether they like him or not, knows that there is such a person as him.
Those who are willing to watch Code Geass and those who are not, have basically known about the work after the promotion of the work in the past half year.
The 7.3% viewership rate is basically the upper limit in the era of the rise of the Internet. Unless several online streaming platforms have collective code problems and stop operating for a month or two, it is possible to drive the tens of millions of people who are following dramas on online streaming platforms back to their TVs.
Su Yan knew this, and the TV station knew this too, but no one cared and they still threw huge amounts of publicity funds into the market. It didn't matter that the ratings didn't have much room for growth, but the sales in the surrounding market had a lot of room for growth. Take the work "Code Geass" for example, the profits from selling broadcasting rights and online broadcasting revenue during the same period were no longer as good as the sales revenue of surrounding products in the same time period.
Although the TV station does not have the copyright to Code Geass, a considerable portion of Su Yan's peripheral products are sold through the official websites of Zhongxia TV and various online shopping platforms under it. In the sales process, Zhongxia TV, as the platform, also gets a lot of share, so naturally it puts its best effort into selling it at this time.
Moreover, seeing the popularity of Lelouch in the global peripheral markets, several TV stations and even a bunch of foreign online broadcasting platforms have begun to actively go to Tokyo to find C-Dimension Film and Television Company to discuss cooperation.
As for the IP of his works, Su Yan will definitely not let inexplicable capital come and share a piece of the pie. He is not short of money, but if an IP is to be made bigger, Su Yan cannot just leave all the cake undivided. Otherwise, a group of capitals in the market will not sit idly by and watch Su Yan eat all the food alone, and then everyone will attack him together.
Su Yan will not allow other capital to interfere in the production of works and peripheral products, but in terms of peripheral distribution channels and sales, Su Yan will not set up a separate sales platform.
Just like making movies, Su Yan's works are so prolific that he is fully capable of setting up a distribution company by himself, and his company has good relationships with the top executives of major theaters. But every time his movie is released, Su Yan will bring in the largest film distributor in Xia Country, and the revenue sharing is also carried out in full accordance with market rules. He will not arbitrarily cut prices or make harsh contracts just because he is now a hot commodity in the market. He earns the profits of his producers, and other competitors who have bad intentions and want to use shady tactics will have Su Yan's distribution partners to take the blame.
Similarly, if he wants to expand overseas markets for his own works, the best way is to share some of the profits from the sales channels with foreign industry leaders, let them become his friends, and help expand the IP. This is much better than Su Yan making money from everything, only to find out that the whole world is hostile to his peers.
As long as you have 100% of the copyright in your hands, you can change the downstream partner when the latter becomes insufficient.
Although Gundam will not be broadcast until at least the second half of next year, the related capital operations have already begun at the end of this year.
Su Yan has been busy with these things with Shinozaki Yumi these days and is exhausted.
"When can we just hire some professional managers to do these things?" Su Yan sighed speechlessly as he looked at the pile of documents that needed to be signed on his desk in the office.
"Are you serious? As far as I know, there are very few examples at home and abroad of companies being handed over to that group of people and then still developing well." Shinozaki Ikumi narrowed her eyes.
"Just kidding." Su Yan said.
"That sentence was just a complaint about how busy my work is."
An IP company is handed over to professional managers, who do not take any responsibility. They distribute dividends when they make money and leave when they lose money. Su Yan couldn't imagine what an IP like Gundam would become like if this group of people did.
Shinozaki Ikumi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.
"But the company is growing bigger and bigger. The number of direct employees in the TV series, movies, games, peripherals, operations and other departments has almost exceeded 700. In addition, there are thousands of people working with us from large, medium and small companies. The core development of the company is all focused on you and your work. This kind of busyness will probably accompany you for a long time."
"I can only get used to it slowly." Su Yan sighed.
His current situation is actually a bit similar to that of Hayao Miyazaki and his studio in his previous life, but Su Yan is more productive and his company is much larger than Hayao Miyazaki.
"But instead of complaining about your heavy workload, you should hurry up and find a partner. You're almost 28, and you can't spend all the money you earn by yourself. You need a spendthrift to help you spend it." Shinozaki Yumi chuckled. "Same here." Su Yan was not polite and immediately hit back.
"Here in Sakurajima, New Year and Spring Festival are both very important festivals. Think about how you are going to deal with your parents when you return home in early January."
Shinozaki Ikumi felt a lump in her chest and couldn't laugh.
Su Yan is the only one in his family, so he has no pressure at all.
"After Lelouch is finished." Su Yan did not stimulate Shinozaki Yumi too much on this topic.
He said after a pause.
"I might take out some scripts and try to get the company to produce some super-long works."
"When the time comes, we will have a lot to do. You have to be mentally prepared."
"Super long story?" asked Shinozaki Ikumi.
"I've heard you talk about this concept many times. What does it mean?"
"At least a major TV series that can be broadcast continuously for ten or even more seasons."
For Su Yan now, it is still a bit difficult to redeem works of the level of previous life's Naruto, One Piece, and Dragon Ball at one time, but the system is not so inhumane. These works can be redeemed in stages, but at least dozens or hundreds of chapters must be redeemed at one time.
After the conclusion of Code Geass, Su Yan's accumulated emotional value was finally reached.
In Su Yan's previous life, there was a live-action drama of One Piece, and it ranked among the top in ratings in more than a dozen countries around the world during its broadcast.
From Su Yan's perspective, the current production strength of his Dimension Film and Television Company is much stronger than those live-action adaptation companies in his previous life. As long as the casting is right, he is very confident in making these long-form films.
"You haven't even established the IP of Gundam yet, and you're already thinking about this kind of thing?" Shinozaki Ikumi blinked when she heard that.
"I call this foresight. Next year the company will be promoting the Gundam series, which will continue from the year after next until the next ten years. We will release several long-form TV series, as well as produce some movies, and launch derivative games into the market." Su Yan paused here, then smiled bitterly.
"At least, I hope to finish the long novel I plan to release next year by the time I'm fifty."
"." Ikumi Shinozaki.
"Have you thought about it so far ahead? Aren't you worried that your long-running works will be released after one or two seasons, and fans will no longer want to watch them. You are still fifty years old."
"There is absolutely no possibility of that."
The confidence in Su Yan's eyes as he smiled made Shinozaki Yumi speechless. The sarcasm and ridicule she had for Su Yan faded away, replaced by curiosity.
Super long work?
Is this really feasible?
