Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

The serialization of "White Night" was extremely popular.

The letters from readers urging for more updates arrive like snowflakes, enough to fill an entire room.

It can be said to be the hottest mystery novel of the summer.

He is undoubtedly the king of mystery fiction.

Shinchosha takes this unexpected surprise very seriously.

The release plan for "White Night" is already in full swing.

However, Kitahara didn't pay any attention to these things.

He signed a confidentiality agreement with Shincho-sha.

Will there be any offline autograph sessions?

All you have to do is sit back and collect the money.

His attention shifted entirely to NicoNico animation and the anime production he had been preparing for...

After rushing around, I finally finished writing another chapter.

Brothers who see this tomorrow morning, remember to give me some flowers and ratings (doge).

Chapter 46: What's wrong with the author?

Beidouxing Animation Production Company.

In mid-to-late May, the intermediary company found a group of small animation production companies that were suitable for acquisition.

Kitahara Shin chose one of them.

This company has a history of four or five years and has participated in the production of some second-tier animations. It has a well-established production team and skilled business capabilities.

Insufficient than above, more than below.

The original president wanted to switch to another industry, which is why he sold the company.

Kitahara Makoto paid NicoNico 300 million yen.

Then, Yuta Kawamoto stepped in and acquired the anime production company.

It became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NicoNico Animation.

It was renamed 'Beidouxing Animation Production Company'.

……

Inside the president's office.

Kitahara Makoto sat on his newly purchased leather sofa, with a blonde twin-tailed beauty named Eriri sitting to his right.

Sitting opposite me is Tian Zeyingshu, the general manager of Beidouxing Animation Production Company.

And veteran anime producer: Yuichi Fujiki.

These two used to do quite well at the company and were quite capable.

So after this acquisition of the company.

Kitahara Shin kept them there.

"Fujiki, this is Ms. Eriri, an artist."

"She drew the character designs for several main characters in 'Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend.' She will be joining the production team soon and working with us to complete this anime!"

Fujiki Yuichi, who initially thought Eriri was just a nepotism hire, immediately became respectful upon hearing that Eriri had drawn the character designs.

He stood up and said respectfully.

"Yes, President."

"Ms. Eriri, welcome to our family."

"Thank you."

Eriri replied politely.

She still cares a lot about her image in front of outsiders.

"Then, president, who will be the director of our anime?"

"Should we hire someone externally, or choose from the company's existing employees?"

"That's what General Manager Tian Zeying asked."

The anime "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" is the first work produced by the new company.

Success or failure would determine his future as general manager.

Therefore, he attached great importance to it.

Kitahara Makoto refused.

"No need to hire anyone else, I can direct it myself!"

"Huh? You're a writer, how did you become a director?"

Eriri looked at Kitahara Makoto with surprise.

"Don't say that to a director surnamed Han or a director surnamed Guo again!"

Kitahara made a completely unrelated joke.

Then explained.

"Don't worry, I won't do the kind of thing where an outsider instructs an expert."

"I only oversee the general direction; the details are still left to you professionals to handle."

"Could we hire a few more assistant directors?"

Kitahara Shin had no interest in being an anime director forever.

That's why he's doing this now.

It's because he watched the complete version of this anime in his previous life.

Copy the successful answer.

This can reduce the risk of failure.

It can also shorten production time and reduce costs.

So he only controls the overall direction, while the specific work is done by professionals like Eriri.

Hearing Kitahara Makoto say this, Tazawa Hideki and Fujiki Yuichi finally put their worries to rest.

They were genuinely worried that the new president was a man who was ambitious and eager for quick success.

What if the company's first project fails?

They'll definitely be the ones to take the blame.

After all, Eriri is a relative, so she definitely won't take the blame.

And Kitahara Shin?

Who would dare let the president take the blame?

Fortunately, the president was still quite rational and didn't actually try to instruct the experts from an outsider's perspective.

……

After Eriri joined the production team, production of "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" officially began.

Because animation production takes a long time.

The specific work was carried out by Hideki Tazawa and Yuichi Fujiki.

Therefore, Kitahara Shin left Hokuto Star Animation after the project started.

We've arrived at NicoNico anime.

After more than two months of investment, optimization, and development.

The original NicoNico animation, which was very simple and looked like some unknown small website, has been completely transformed.

The entire website page has become simpler and more aesthetically pleasing.

Various functions have been simplified.

The page exudes a youthful and fashionable vibe.

As someone who has lived through the prosperous era of the internet in later generations.

Kitahara Makoto knew the template for future success.

So he just copied it directly from Bilibili.

The features such as liking, giving coins, collecting, commenting, and bullet comments are all exactly the same as those in Bilibili in later generations.

Anyway, Bilibili hasn't released it yet at this point.

There's no way anyone would sue him for plagiarism.

Besides.

After more than two months of development, testing, and optimization...

The video upload function has finally been successfully launched.

Then Kitahara Shin waved his hand.

The Creators Incentive Program is officially launched!

……

Makoto Niitsu is a seasoned anime enthusiast.

He recently discovered a treasure trove of a website: NicoNico Animation.

The website's pages look very basic.

But a feature called "bullet comments" surprised him.

Leaving comments on the video is like having a real-time conversation with someone.

Although he likes watching anime, he doesn't like socializing.

But that doesn't mean he has no desire to communicate.

Especially when something you like is also liked by others.

This feeling of meeting like-minded people is truly exhilarating.

So he quickly became a loyal user of the website.

During my free time from work and watching anime, I often visit this website to chat and discuss with other fans of the same anime.

Today, as usual, Niitsu Makoto visited NicoNico Animation.

As soon as he logged onto the website, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Because the originally simple website has been completely transformed.

It looks simple, but it's not simple at all.

The style is fresh and fashionable.

The visual effects are so much better than the original version.

Moreover, it's very smooth, with no lag whatsoever compared to before.

"A creative incentive program? What's that?"

Shinjin Makoto looked at the website notice that popped up automatically.

Out of curiosity, I clicked on it.

"Inform all users that the website's video upload function is now online. Registered users can upload their own videos and share their favorite anime and famous scenes with their friends."

"By the way, we've also launched a creator incentive program. By joining the program, you can directly earn revenue based on the number of views your videos get..."
