No money?
Bao Jiyi did not expect to encounter this situation.
"But, your company has no major problems in its operations, right? How come there is no money?"
"Oh, there is a problem. Mainly because I made a movie last year, but I didn't pay back."
Bao Jiyi smiled bitterly.
The movie that General Manager Long Yao mentioned, he heard, is an animated movie based on ancient myths.
Light and shadow special effects didn't say, but the script didn't work.
There were a lot of advertisements at the time, saying that "is the future of domestic animated films", but when I threw it in, I didn't even see the splash.
I heard that the box office of that animated movie was OK on the first day, and there was an avalanche afterwards.
In the final analysis, Long Yao is also making comic cartoons. He is more experienced, and there is no way to be original.
However, looking for another one is not suitable, such as Yingyin, the quality of the animation produced by it is not as good as Long Yao. Feibo is not short of money, but the level of animation production is not as good as Yingyin.
"In this way, can't you find a TV station? Ask them to pay a little money, and you will bear a little more money." Bao Jiyi said, rubbing his forehead, "They should be more willing to buy comics like "Goku"? Besides, you and Orochi are strong Together, we should not worry about sales."
The opponent fell silent.
Bao Jiyi takes retreat as advancement and presses forward every step of the way.
"If it doesn't work, I will change another one. This is definitely a profitable business, and you are not unprofitable."
"Wait... let me think about it, give me a day, let me explore the TV station's tone first, if they are willing and can give a good offer, we will take this project."
"What can they be unwilling to do? You just lack the income in District 11. The Huaxia market is so big, and it will be several years after you eat it." Bao Jiyi persuaded.
"Are you saying that Orochi only needs the income of District 11?" The other party pondered for a moment and suddenly became interested.
If it is not divided into fifty to five, then there is indeed a profit.
"Yes, the opportunity is indispensable. Go comics are rarely seen in the first place, this time the quality of "God of Go" is so high. If the quality of the animation is good, the sales of DVDs and bd will not be low. The Go game is very powerful, and this animation may open up the Han country market."
"Han country market? Hmm...I want to find a way to raise funds...find a way."
"Well, by the way, because orochi only has 11 district income, the money you invest in this comic should account for at least 60% of the total investment."
"Huh? 60%? Hmm... I'll get back to you as soon as possible."
After hanging up, Bao Jiyi rubbed his forehead. He forgot to ask Long Yao a year ago.
Now that I want to ask other animation production companies, it is not the best choice. I can only hope that Long Yao can find a solution.
Hope that Long Yao can think of something over there, right?
After the general manager of Long Yao hung up the phone, he immediately called for the other two shareholders of the company.
The three people sat together, compared the data and the results of "Soul of the Game", and discussed carefully for two or three hours. They agreed that this might be a chance to make a copy and try to win "Soul of the Game".
Long Yao lost a lot of money for making animated films, and they also took over two animations this year and aired a new show in April. Now while making an animation, I am waiting to return to the book after it is screened.
The company has no excess working capital. The current method is to pull investment.
After the three people discussed, they decided to negotiate with different companies, such as TV stations, game companies, and advertising companies. They even planned to get a board maker, but they gave up because the other party gave too little money.
After one day, the three people were dry, but it was not without gain.
Hongchuan TV Station is very interested in the screening rights of "Soul of Chess", and they have also run several game companies, and they are more inclined to bring in Ruixiang Technology to produce the game of "Soul of chess". Ruixiang has given the most funds-Zhenyu Double the technology-and the level of game production is relatively high, at least in the country, ranking in the top five.
The remaining details are to continue to negotiate with these manufacturers.
Bao Jiyi was also a little relieved after learning that Long Yao was willing to take over the animation production of "Hire of Go".
This time "Piping" almost failed. We must sum up our experience and avoid this situation next time.
A week later, the leaders of Yokoi, Murakami and Orochi came to Hongchuan to negotiate with the relevant leaders of "icfuture", Long Yao, Hongchuan TV and Xiangrui Technology.
In fact, the two sides did not have major disagreements in many places, but there were differences in the length of the animation.
Long Yao prefers to produce 13 episodes of the season. After all, the longer the animation is, the more money needs to be invested, and the greater the risk.
Orochi prefers to make a new year. Judging from the current quality of "Goss", the possibility of the story collapse is not too great. They only do a few and refined animations. If an animation is produced a year, "Hire of Go" is undoubtedly the most suitable. Moreover, they only need to bear less than 40% of the investment, and the financial pressure is not as heavy as Long Yao.
On this issue, both parties expressed their own suggestions and explained the pros and cons, but they were unable to convince the other party.
Finally, Wang Wenhong made a suggestion, "I think the person who has the most say on this issue is Mr. Shen. We can listen to his suggestions. Moreover, whether it's Jifan or Nianfan, the ending should be suspenseful. , To attract readers, but also to make readers feel that the ending is unobtrusive. I think Mr. Shen has an overall grasp of the story."
"That is to say, the length of the drama is determined according to the plot of the manga." Yokoi concluded.
"That's right. We can also ask what Mr. Shen's needs for animation production." Wang Wenhong explained.
Yokoi told Orochi's people what Wang Wenhong had said, and they also agreed. If the author can provide suggestions, they will also have a general grasp of the direction of the story.
So ~www.mtlnovel.com~ everyone put the remaining problems to the next day's meeting to solve them.
After leaving the meeting room, Wang Wenhong and Shang Haozhi greeted them, took the briefcase and took the subway to Shen Xin's studio.
Gao Hang opened the door and saw Wang Wenhong who was sweating profusely and his face flushed, and he was shocked.
"What's wrong, you?" Gao Hang's tone was blunt.
Wang Wenhong didn't have time to pay attention to him, entered the studio, and asked Xiang Lu Ning, "Where is Mr. Shen?"
Lu Ning pointed to the second floor, "Upstairs."
Wang Wenhong stepped on the stairs and went up to the second floor. He saw Shen Xin who was painting at the desk. Then he slowed down and walked slowly to Shen Xin's workbench.
"Congratulations, Teacher Shen." Wang Wenhong said softly.
"Huh?" Shen Xin looked up at Wang Wenhong, wondering, "Why are you here? Today is not the deadline?"
Wang Wenhong shook his head.
"Congratulations, Mr. Shen, "God of Chess" is determined to make an animation."
Shen Xin suddenly throbbed in his heart, his eyes widened, and the g pen in his hand stopped.
"Wait, let me take a moment... when will it air?"
"It's not certain now." Wang Wenhong shook his head.
"What production company is it?" Shen Xin asked curiously.
"Hey, the production company is very powerful. One is Long Yao, one of the best animation companies in China, and the other is Orochi, a production company in District 11." Wang Wenhong said excitedly.
