Echoing the box office success is the continued popularity of FZ's peripheral products.
Although in the cinema market, FZ is no longer the darling of the market.
However, the FZ peripheral market has maintained a relatively strong momentum, and various Fate-related peripheral products can be seen everywhere.
The most popular of these is the movie soundtrack that was already on sale. Its global sales have already exceeded 5 million and are heading towards 10 million.
Just from the peripheral product alone, Nanaya estimated that he could get at least $20 million in share.
This does not include the revenue from various other products such as clothing, daily necessities, models and figurines, etc.
Because there are so many products, Washimine can only make a rough estimate of the sales of peripheral products at present.
But even if the estimate is a bit low, Washimine Entertainment's marketing staff estimates that FZ peripheral sales have exceeded at least $700 million from the end of March to now.
Although a lot of FSN peripherals are also included, the popularity of Fate is unquestionable.
According to Washimine Entertainment's estimates, even if the popularity of FZ declines in the second half of the year, it will still generate at least $1.2 billion in peripheral revenue before the release of the second part next year.
Although the sales of these peripheral products cannot be considered pure profit, as manufacturers and sellers will take a piece of the pie, Washimine is undoubtedly the one who takes the biggest piece of the pie.
Of course, there is someone who is even happier than Washimine, and that is Nanaya, who is making money simply by doing nothing at this stage.
You can make millions doing nothing in a day.
This sentence is the most appropriate to describe the current Nanaya, and these millions are not rubles or yen, but green US dollars.
Washimine also breathed a sigh of relief. They were glad that they chose the right opportunity to merge Erque Studio into their own company.
Although this allowed Nanaya to get more money personally - Washimine could make money from more than just the Fate project.
But the profit distributed to [Erque Studio] is indeed much less. Overall, this deal is still very cost-effective.
According to the original agreement, Washimine would transfer 35% of all FZ's profits to Erque Studio, which is no small amount of money.
This was also the condition that Erque Studio originally gave to Washimine to publish the work.
Fate is no longer an unknown little IP after experiencing FSN. How is it possible for you, Washimine, to get it without paying enough?
Friendship is friendship, business is business.
This is the inherent advantage that Erque Studio, which owns the copyright, has in negotiations.
From the end of March to July now, so many things have happened during this period of time that Nanaya himself has the illusion that time flies.
As July begins, the competition for the North American box office charts has become more intense.
"Transformers" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", two films that have long attracted much attention, have also joined the summer season.
However, after more than three months of screening, FZ's theatrical journey has long entered its final stage, and the popularity of the new movie has basically no impact on FZ's weekly box office data.
Because it is impossible for FZ to do much in the cinema market anymore.
Apart from asking Washimine to ensure the screening volume of the IMAX 3D version, Nanaya no longer paid attention to FZ's theater performance.
For Nanaya, FZ Upper is a thing of the past, and he now has to focus on the future.
So the first thing Nanaya has to do now is to open his eyes, because——
"Nanaye, it's time for you to get up."
Nanaya, who was in a daze, felt a familiar smell coming from his nose, which made him feel a little itchy.
With the blessing of the morning buff, Nanaya found himself a little restless.
Without opening his eyes to see, Nanaya knew that it was a woman he was familiar with who was pointing a finger at his nose.
"I said that a long time ago, didn't I?"
Nanaya didn't open his eyes, but stepped forward to warn.
"There's a price to pay for waking me up this way!"
The man suddenly stretched out his hands, reached forward, and then hugged the woman beside him in his arms.
The woman screamed, but Nanaya ignored her and pressed her under him.
"Hey! You're acting crazy so early in the morning!" the woman shouted in dissatisfaction.
But Nanaya didn't care about that. He buried his head in the valley of the woman's chest and began to grope her body with his hands.
"It's a nice morning. I think we can..."
Nanaya stopped talking in the middle of his words because his hand, which was attacking the woman's plump buttocks, touched her tight jeans, which instantly made him lose all interest.
Although jeans are slim-fitting, they are not very interesting.
Because it's too difficult to take off.
If it was at night, it would be acceptable, but playing early in the morning would make you feel sleepy.
Nanaya estimated that he had taken off the other person's pants, and he would wake up from his sleepiness.
"What do you think you can do?"
The woman giggled. She was very happy with Nanaya's Sichuan Opera face-changing.
Nanaya opened his eyes, and what caught his eye were naturally the long purple hair and the smile of a man who had succeeded in playing a prank.
"Sakura, you plotted against me."
The one who woke up Nanaya was naturally Shimoya Sakura.
Ryan is still in Japan, Shion is busy with work, and Rin is still on a global tour with Trier.
"Without some preparation, do you think I would come and wake up a lower body maniac like you?"
Sakura said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
"Where is the little girl who followed me around and blushed even when holding hands?"
Nanaya couldn't help but sigh, "Time, you are really a butcher's knife."
"Pooh."
Sakura spat, her cheeks slightly red as she said, "Didn't you train me to do this?"
"Oh, really~ Then let me see your progress. There is a price to pay for disturbing someone's sweet dreams~"
As he said this, Nanaya moved his face closer.
Knowing what her man was going to do, Sakura quickly turned her head and skillfully met Nanaya's lips.
My ex-girlfriend's kissing skills have indeed improved, and she has made progress specifically for me.
"Skilled little goblin."
Nanaya patted Sakura's butt, and then he got a roll of the eyes from Sakura.
"What time is it?"
Nanaya let Ryan go and sat down on the edge of the bed while stretching.
"Hello, hello, so early?"
Looking at the gray sky outside the window, Nanaya rubbed his neck and asked a little confusedly.
"It's getting late. It's almost six o'clock."
Sakura hugged one of his arms, leaned on Nanaya's shoulder, and reminded him: "Did you forget? You had to go shopping with me this morning."
"Today?"
Nanaya jumped out of bed and walked towards the bathroom, turning back and asking.
"Today is the day. You're going to San Diego tomorrow."
"Is it Thursday already?!"
Nanaya threw the towel aside and asked in surprise.
"Of course, you won't forget it, right?"
Sakura skillfully placed the electric shaver on the table to Nanaya's right, and then began to squeeze toothpaste on Nanaya's toothbrush.
"I remember today is Wednesday."
Nanaya wiped his face with a towel soaked in cold water, trying to wake himself up.
"Sorry, I've been too busy lately..." Nanaya showed an apologetic expression.
In the past two days, in addition to his work, Nanaya also attended several Hollywood parties.
It's not that Nanaya has become decadent, but that he is ready to leave North America, so he began to rush to complete the content that needs to be completed in North America.
After this period of hard work, Nanaya finally cut out the 3-hour version of the lower part of FZ.
This version is pretty close to the final version.
Before the final version of the editing is done, post-production special effects are required.
For Nanaya, who is a technical idiot, this kind of work can only be handed over to others. What he needs to do is to check the final results.
Post-production takes a long time, and Nanaya has no intention of staying in North America and waiting.
In order to start the new film project as soon as possible, Nanaya began to step up his work in North America - attending parties was just one part of his social tasks.
After washing up, Nanaya returned to the bedroom. Sakura had already prepared clothes for him to go out.
"Sakura... just let Sera and the others do these things."
Nanaya kissed her lightly on the forehead.
Sakura said naturally: "Isn't that what I did in high school? I'm used to it."
Nanaya opened his mouth, scratched the back of his head for a long time and uttered: "Sorry..."
"It's nothing. This is our joint choice." Sakura was also a little disappointed. She lowered her head and was unwilling to look directly at Nanaya.
If I hadn't felt that I would become a burden to Nanaya and hadn't actively avoided him, would I have already married the man in front of me?
Sakura never regretted meeting Nanaya, but she was angry with herself.
[I was the only one who first discovered the charm of the senior, but now it has become like this. ]
Sakura gently smoothed Nanaya's hair with her hands and began to help him change into the clothes she had chosen.
"Sakura..."
Nanaya wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sakura's eyes.
"Don't say those useless things. Even if I ask you to leave those women, you definitely won't do it. So - don't say it."
Sakura silently buttoned up Nanaya's clothes one by one. Because she lowered her head, Nanaya could not see the expression on her face.
"Instead of dealing with these unattainable things, you should just fulfill what you promised me." Sakura buttoned the last button.
"Alright."
Sakura raised her head again, a smile on her face again, and she patted Nanaya's shoulders twice.
"You promised to accompany me today, you must not break your promise~ Kiryu-senpai~"
Sakura placed her hands behind her back and turned around in a circle with a smile on her face.
"Well, where should we go today? I think..."
Listening to Sakura telling about today's shopping plans, Nanaya raised the corners of his mouth in relief.
"Kiryu-senpai... huh? That's a really nostalgic name."
