The working hours of cartoonists are often casual, and Chu Yu also adjusts according to his class time.
After Lin Fan and He Sheng agreed on working hours with Chu Yu, they left temporarily at Li Xi's signal.
After all... the next thing shouldn't be heard by the two of you.
"What's the matter? I need to push those two people apart!" Chu Yu looked at Li Xi suspiciously.
"Of course..."
"Have you forgotten?"
"Unheard of fame..." Li Xi said.
"This matter seems to be a little eye-catching!"
Chu Yu heard the words, his heartbeat quickened.
I have been with Li Xi a few times, and Chu Yu also knows Li Xi's style of doing things. She can use the word eyebrows to describe this matter, which means that this matter is already indispensable.
"Now...what's the situation?" Chu Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"A few days ago, I submitted the work of Unheard Flower Name to Jiuxing Animation Production Company..."
Jiuxing!
Chu Yu's expression condensed. Of course he had heard of this company. Apart from his status as a cartoonist, he is also a senior anime fan.
In Longguo, Jiuxing, Dakai, Long Yue... the works of these animation production companies can be said to accompany the childhood of Chu Yu's generation of comic fans.
"They... have ideas about the animation of Unheard Flower Names?" Chu Yu took a deep breath.
"Almost!" Li Xi nodded.
"Originally, it was impossible to decide this kind of thing so quickly. A few days ago, I showed your work to a producer at Jiuxing. He was very satisfied on the spot... but he said Now, he doesn't have the final decision on this kind of thing, and the work has to be shown to the leaders..."
"But it seems that the senior officials of Jiuxing are also very interested in your work... "
"It's only a few days, and Jiuxing has already given me a reply, inviting you to go to Jiuxing Comics Company to discuss the matter this
Sunday !" "Sunday... is it two days later?" Chu Yu asked . Nodded.
"This is not a problem."
"Of course, all of this is on the premise that you can guarantee that you can complete your manga." Li Xi said.
"These matters between you and Jiuxing do not belong to my scope of work as an editor of Xuangui, but to help you complete these trivial matters as soon as possible will also help you return to the comic creation as soon as possible. In order for you to complete the cooperation with Jiuxing as soon as possible, two days later , I will go with you!" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.
"Understand!" Chu Yu nodded.
"Don't worry about the manga manuscript. There is still such a long time before the deadline for the fourth episode you said, but I am almost finishing the fourth episode by myself."
...
two days later, Sunday !
Li Xi changed from his usual professional attire to a casual outfit.
The hair strands that are tied up on weekdays are also scattered behind the shoulders.
Riding in Li Xi's car, Chu Yu followed her to Jiuxing Animation Production Company. Li Xi led Chu Yu straight in, and the staff inside did not stop her. Soon, the two came to an office. Li Xi wanted to push the door directly, but after thinking about it, she moved aside and signaled that Chu Yu was the first to enter the door. After all, it was Chu Yu who was invited. If she did everything, then where did Chu Yu go? Taking a deep breath, Chu Yu knocked on the office door lightly. "Please come in!" Chu Yu pushed the door in. At the entrance, it is a clean and tidy room. The interior is simple, with a few lockers and a desk.
On the opposite side of the table, is a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, trousers and shirt, the whole person looks unusually energetic.
"Teacher Shuixin! Hello..."
"I am an animator from Jiuxing Animation Company, my name is Huang Ming!"
Seeing Chu Yu coming in, Huang Ming stood up and walked to Chu Yu Shake hands with him in front of him.
"Hello, Shui Xin is just my comic pen name, my real name is Chu Yu, you can just call me Chu Yu!" Chu Yu Wannian's cold face squeezed a smile.
In any case, face is still to be given to the other party.
"That's okay, then I'll call you Chu Yu directly. It's always a teacher, so I feel a little strange!" Huang Ming laughed haha.
Chu Yu, Li Xi and Huang Ming quickly took their seats without any nonsense.
The assistant poured a cup of tea for the three of them, then left and closed the office door.
"Since Chu Yu, you have come to our Jiuxing today... Then you must have some understanding of the relevant situation."
"Then I won't go around the corner..."
"You haven't heard of your submissions ." Hua Ming, after reading this project from all the animation companies in our entire animation company for the past few days, they all agreed that this work is in line with our requirements, and it is the most in line with the requirements of the submissions we have received... ..." Huang Ming said at this moment, staring at Chu Yu.
"Inviting you over today is actually very simple. I just want to discuss with you the cost of adapting related works and the contract matters."
So direct?
Chu Yu was taken aback.
Is this signing up?
This is animated!
How many cartoonists draw cartoons for a lifetime may not have this opportunity!
"Um, you... please say it!"
"Well, I'll just say it!"
Huang Ming said in a deep voice, "The highest price our company can offer is 700,000 Dragon National Coins! As the animation adaptation right for this work."
700,000!
When Chu Yu heard this, he had no idea about this number in his heart.
In parallel time and space in Japan, for regular comics or light novels, the animation costs paid to authors are generally 100,000 to 200,000 yen per episode.
Converted down to only one to twenty thousand RMB per episode.
In Longguo, because of the large population and the increase in the audience, this will also lead to an increase in the flow of works, and the price of adaptation will also increase. However, in comparison, the price per episode is usually seven or eighty thousand Dragon National Coins.
Huang Ming's price, to be honest, is already based on the price of adapting some famous works.
After all, it is easy to fool Chu Yu, but it is difficult to fool Li Xi, so Huang Ming is also very direct.
Chu Yu looked at Li Xi...
He didn't understand this at all, and he hadn't studied it before.
"One and four hundred thousand." Li Xi also understood what Chu Yu meant, and said.
"It's impossible!" Huang Ming smiled.
"Judging from the content of the name manuscript given by Chuyu, it was made into an animation of about ten episodes."
"If you give it at this price, it is almost the cost of the adaptation of a fairly well-known work on the market."
"Know that. This work has not been serialized in any periodicals before. It can be said to be completely unpopular. It can be given a price of 700,000 yuan. It is also our company's view that Chu Yu is the winner of the Dragon Star Award. Considering the number of fans of his works in various parts of the Dragon Kingdom, he gave it out."
"Huang Ming, just fool others with your words, do you think it works in front of me?" Li Xi sneered.
"The quality of this work is obvious to all. There are indeed many famous works on the market, but those works may not be so good if they are adapted into animation, and they do not meet your company's solicitation requirements."
"Moreover, this work does not have the existence of the original comics, which means that until the end of the animation, no one knows the final tearful plot. After the animation starts, the audience's reaction to watching will be more obvious. There is no spoiler, I think this is the advantage of this work."
"Also, aside from this, the price is only based on the quality of this work. I think it is no better than the so-called so-called in the world. The quality of his popular works is poor..."
Li Xi's words are also nonsense, purely forcibly breaking, but it does make some sense.
Huang Ming couldn't refute Li Xi for a while.
"One hundred and fifty thousand?" Huang Ming was silent for a while.
He also understands Li Xi well, knowing that this woman is a kind of vegetable market aunt, and her favorite is bargaining, so at the beginning he offered a low price and deliberately lowered it, giving Li Xi some room for bargaining.
"One and four hundred thousand!" Li Xi did not give in.
"800,000!"
"Say, 1.4 million!" Li Xi's tone did not waver.
"Okay, okay, one million Dragon National Coins, this is our nine-star psychological bottom line, if you disagree, forget it!" Huang Ming was a little angry, this woman, not playing cards according to routines at all.
Shouldn't it be me eighty, you one hundred and two, I ninety, you one hundred and one?
Why am I letting go, you are not letting go?
