Chapter 817 - Chapter 808 Protecting Uncle's Smile

Nanaya's proposal is naturally a good thing for [See Moon].

As the exclusive content of [See Moon], the Fate IP is a good thing for the website no matter how you look at it.

The representatives first wanted to agree, and then didn't want to agree.

Nanaya and Washimine already have a considerable stake in [See Moon], if all the exclusive content of [See Moon] comes from [Erque Studio].

Then this website will really be owned by Kiryu Nanaya alone!

There was naturally no problem on Washimine's side, after all, his female boss and Nanaya could sleep in the same bed.

But it is not a good thing for the other five of the Big Six.

They may never have thought of controlling [See Moon], but it is not a good thing for Nanaya to dominate alone.

"Director Kiryu, [See Moon] only subscribes to web dramas produced by [Erque Studio], is this true..."

"It's not just [Erque Studio]." Nanaya spread his hands, "The web series [See Moon] produced by Marvel and Washimine Entertainment in the future will also be customized."

"After all, this is all yours."

I don't know which representative made a complaint in a low voice.

Nanaya raised his lips and said, "If the six major companies are willing to produce a special web series for [See Moon], as long as the quality is good, [See Moon] will buy it at a suitable price."

As Nanaya spoke, he glanced at everyone else.

The representatives of the six major organizations turned their heads away, avoiding Nanaya's gaze.

However, representatives from small film companies seemed eager to try.

It is normal to have such a contrasting reaction.

The Big Six are all standard media group companies, and most of them have their own TV stations, such as Disney's ABC TV station.

The TV series they produce must give priority to their own TV stations.

Perhaps after their TV premiere, these series will be added to the [See Moon] membership subscription.

But the most important first broadcast must naturally belong to you.

So it's simply not realistic to shoot a series tailor-made for [See Moon].

Perhaps the Big Six can make more money from this, but the result of doing so will definitely be a rebellion in their own TV stations.

Of course, those small companies were very happy with Nanaya's proposal. The TV series they produced could be broadcast anywhere, right?

But there are only a few TV stations in the United States, and the prime-time slots have long been divided up.

Whether a TV series is broadcast during prime time has a huge impact on the ratings.

And now [See Moon] is willing to subscribe to their TV series, which is definitely a good thing.

More importantly, there is no such thing as prime time on streaming platforms.

Because it can be watched repeatedly anytime, anywhere, the resources provided to each drama on the streaming platform are relatively balanced.

As long as they can guarantee the platform for promotion, these small companies are certainly willing to sell their series to [See Moon].

"I have spent so much energy and money on [See Moon], of course I hope that the website can develop better and better. If everyone has good works, [See Moon] will naturally treat them equally."

Nanaya said to everyone: "The interests of [See Moon] are the interests of all of us. I believe everyone has the same idea, right?"

"Well, let's end today's meeting here."

After Shion announced the adjournment of the meeting, the representatives filed out of the meeting room.

Nanaya left with Ori, as Yakumo had something to do in the "Magical Record" operations department.

"Ori, I'm going to trouble you with the next thing." Nanaya said to Ori as they walked, "You have to do your best to link the film and TV series. You have to make sure that the audience who watches the web series feels that the web series is an extension of the movie, but you also have to make sure that the movie audience doesn't notice that the plot is disconnected."

FGO's web drama will definitely be very popular, but the audience who watch the web drama will always be a minority compared to the people who watch the movie.

Therefore, the boundaries between movies and web dramas must be well grasped.

Ori, who has filmed several web dramas, is the most experienced in this regard, so it is most appropriate to entrust this task to him.

Ori nodded resignedly: "I understand. Anyway, you won't give up until I die of exhaustion."

"The more capable you are, the more work you will do."

Nanaya looked away guiltily.

Ori pouted and was about to complain when he saw someone walking towards them.

"Director Kiryu."

The other party called out to Nanaya.

"Sony representative."

This Toyama has nothing to do with that [Toyama Dafa]. He is Sony's representative at [See Moon], and the one who previously questioned Yakumo Mitama.

"Director Kiryu, can we talk?"

Sony glanced at Ori on Nanaya's side out of the corner of his eye.

"Then I'll go discuss the script with Kyon and Ere."

Ori immediately guessed what the Sony representative meant. He smiled understandingly and left quickly.

"Director Kiryu, I..."

"Let's go to my office." Nanaya interrupted the Sony representative and gestured with his hand.

"Okay."

The other party pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.

··

Nanaya's office in the Washimine headquarters building was unusually large. Even though the desk was large enough, it still only took up a very small space in the entire office.

Without knocking on the door, Nanaya pushed it open and walked in, then sat down behind the desk.

"Please take a seat." Nanaya greeted the Sony representative. "Sony representative, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Considering the seniority of the two people, Nanaya's behavior was a bit rude, but the Sony representative didn't care.

On the one hand, Nanaya's social status is much higher than his own.

On the other hand, although the Japanese like to rank people based on seniority, they are extremely tolerant of geniuses and people who have made outstanding achievements.

In the eyes of the Japanese, it would be strange for a genius to not have some arrogance and quirks.

This is also why in Japanese works, the geniuses are all set up to be very different from normal people.

Sony Representative said, "Director Kiryu, Mr. Hirai will take office as the CEO of Sony in September this year."

"Well, congratulate him for me."

Nanaya was stunned after hearing this.

Even though he already knew that his uncle would take office in 2011, when he heard the news, Nanaya still felt it was a little unreal.

[So it's already this time…]

Nanaya sighed inwardly.

Sony was a little nervous when he saw Nanaya didn't speak for a long time.

He cautiously probed, "If Director Kiryu is worried about Mr. Hirai's background in the game department, don't worry. Mr. Hirai said that it's not easy for us Japanese companies to fight in North America, and we should cooperate with each other."

At this point, the Sony representative bowed slightly and said, "Sony Columbia will closely follow the pace of Washimine Entertainment."

Nanaya almost wanted to laugh when he heard this.

But he soon understood Sony's concerns.

The relationship between Washimine and Sony has become extremely complicated due to Nanaya's interference.

In the field of gaming, Washimine and Sony have been fighting each other to a bloody end.

Especially in this generation, Sony's PS3 failed miserably at the start, while Washimine's Wii won a resounding victory, which can be said to be the return of the king.

Thanks to my uncle's unremitting efforts, PS3 finally gained a foothold and began to gradually make profits.

But there is still a big gap between it and Wii.

Especially in this life, the size of Washimine is much larger than Nanaya's previous life, so there is no shortage of funds.

This allowed the Washimine game department, which had never been known for its technical strength, to finally have enough energy and budget to make technical improvements.

This is naturally a good thing for Washimine, but it is not a good thing for Sony.

In the past two years, Sony and Washimine have dissed each other's products more than once or twice at their respective press conferences.

But in the field of film and television, Sony Columbia and Washimine Entertainment are as good as each other.

Sony Columbia benefited greatly from the collapse of News Corporation last year.

Recently, Sony Columbia has even begun to actively negotiate with Marvel for copyright cooperation on Spider-Man, hoping that the little spider can appear in the MCU.

Sony's two attitudes can be largely attributed to its current leader, Sir Stringer.

The manager of a company that started out in the film and television industry has a management approach that focuses on film and television but neglects games, which has led Sony to present this contradictory stance.

Ironically, Sony now hopes that this contradictory stance will continue.

Kazuo Hirai did come from the game department, so he naturally had no good feelings towards Washimine's game department.

But the moment he became the leader of Sony, he had to consider the overall situation.

You have to know that what that white pig Sir Stringer left behind were hundreds of billions of losses for consecutive years, 170,000 Sony employees, and thousands of departments.

It can be said that Sony is in a state of disrepair.

Therefore, Kazuo Hirai hopes to maintain any profitable department.

Apart from the lens department, the most critical department is Sony Columbia, which has developed well in recent years.

Stringer's overall strategy is indeed very problematic, but his approach to the film and television department is absolutely correct.

In particular, the cooperation with [See Moon] brought Sony Columbia tens of millions of dollars in additional net profit.

Therefore, at this time, Sony simply could not sever its cooperation with Washimine Entertainment.

Nanaya certainly didn't know the specific things going on inside Sony, but he knew that Sony had been having a very difficult time in recent years.

Otherwise, the first thing my uncle would do after taking office would not be to sell the building to raise money.

"Washimine has always respected its partners. As long as Sony does not make any changes, Washimine Entertainment is willing to maintain the status quo."

Nanaya's answer made Sony representative feel a lot more relaxed, and he nodded repeatedly.

"Of course, of course. Sony always respects agreements." The Sony representative assured repeatedly.

Since his uncle was willing to maintain the status quo, Nanaya had no intention of turning against him.

Although Nanaya has always been a Nintendo fan, he has also played a lot of Sony games.

So there's absolutely no problem in protecting your uncle's smile once in a while.

Of course, in reality, Nanaya was not optimistic about his uncle's efforts at all.

There was nothing wrong with the [One Sony] strategy proposed by my uncle, but unfortunately he never implemented it until he retired.

Sony is still the same Sony, the Sony with numerous departments and factions.
