Chapter 231: A Promise
There is a buffet in the hall, and most people order according to their own needs.
Shen Xin just ate some stewed noodles and eggs and lost her appetite, but Wang Wenhong's cheeks were rosy and his eyes were blurred. He must have drank a lot of wine and sat on a chair by the wall to rest.
Han Ye also got rid of the "siege" of the female voice actor, holding a glass of milk in both hands, whispering to Xu Jie, and combing the fallen hair with his fingers from time to time, but it can be seen that he is very concerned about the conversation with Xu Jie .
Ye Hexu was still chatting with Shen Xin at first, but when Jian Xiaomei came out, she was "lifted" away by Jian Xiaomei - he was short, and felt as if he was being bullied wherever he went.
Shen Xin was thinking about how to go back when a middle-aged man in a white suit walked towards Shen Xin.
At first, Shen Xin thought that the middle-aged man was looking for someone else, and deliberately gave way, but the man also changed direction. Only then did he know that this person was looking for him.
"You should be Teacher Shen Zheng, right?" The man came to Shen Xin's side and asked with a smile.
"You know me?" Shen Xin looked at the middle-aged man suspiciously.
A novice cartoonist like Li Jie can't recognize him at a glance, let alone this middle-aged man with a simple mask?
"Someone told me." The middle-aged man was a little fat, and he smiled naively.
He took out a card case from the inner pocket of his suit, took out a business card, and handed it to Shen Xin with both hands, "Mr. Shen, this is my business card."
Shen Xin frowned slightly, a little vigilant in her heart, but still took the business card and glanced at the content on it.
"Deputy General Manager of Hongchuan Feibo Animation Co., Ltd., Zhang He?"
"That's right. I'm Zhang He." The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.
Shen Xin's attention was not on Zhang He, but on the "flying animation".
There are not many animation companies he has come into contact with. One is known for its quality, but due to some mistakes, Yan Fei was implicated in audio-visual animation, and the other is Airbroadcast animation, which he only knew about after Ye Hexu and Jian Xiaomei's introduction before the comic festival last year.
It is said that the price given by this animation company is very high, but the quality of the animation is not top-notch.
In fact, if you think about it a little bit, it’s quite normal. The production cost of an animation is fixed, and if you have a lot of copyrights, you must reduce expenses from other aspects.
"Hello." Shen Xin nodded slightly.
"Hello. That's it. I want to ask, does Teacher Shen have any plans to sell the copyright of "Soul of Chess"?" Zhang asked with a smile.
"That..." Shen Xin rubbed her chin, "Manager Zhang, this matter... You are also a senior, knowing that such things as copyright cannot be in my hands. It is useless for you to seek me."
"I see. But you are the author, and the magazine will definitely consider your request. If you don't agree, the copyright of the animation cannot be sold." Zhang He said hastily.
"Ah?" Shen Xin looked at Zhang He with a smile, did this guy treat others as fools?
What good would it do him to break up with the magazine?
"I can pay 1.5 million yuan for the copyright fee of the first season. For "Soul of Chess", which has only drawn more than 30 episodes so far, this should be an excellent price." Zhang Or said quickly.
Shen Xin nodded, this is true.
"ys" helped him get the "Newcomer Award", and Yingyin Animation only gave 2 million.
Zhang or suddenly lowered his voice and said: "It's done,
I can give another 500,000 to the teacher, what do you think? "
There was a sneer on Shen Xin's face, implying that Zhang or still used his own little calculations to secure the animation copyright for the first season of "Soul of Chess" with 2 million yuan.
However, the royalties brought by "Soul of Chess" alone are far more than 500,000 yuan, and he doesn't care about this little money.
Zhang or still underestimated "Soul of Chess".
"Manager Zhang, what's so funny, tell me, let's all listen."
An icy voice came from one side, and Zhang Ruo suddenly made a smart move.
Shen Xin turned her head and saw Bao Jiyi, the chairman of Yishu Culture, looking at Zhang He with a smile, and standing behind him was Shang Haozhi.
"No... I just saw that this little brother is relatively unfamiliar, so I came here to ask. "IC Future" Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, maybe this little brother will become a pillar in two years?" Zhang Or pulled out a piece of paper. With a handkerchief, he wiped the sweat from his brow.
"That's it... the editors of our magazine are pretty reliable. As long as the cartoonist can stand up, we will fully support him, and this little brother is the same." Bao Jiyi said softly, shaking the brandy in his glass.
"That's right. Mr. Bao's eyesight, of course there is no problem." Zhang You had just wiped off his sweat just now, and sweat oozes from his forehead again.
"Old Shang, you are more familiar with magazines. See if there are any comics suitable for air broadcast. If you have money, everyone can earn it together, right?" Bao Jiyi pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled lightly.
Zhang or nodded again and again, "This is the best."
At this moment, he only wanted to stay away from Bao Jiyi, seeing that Bao Jiyi had given him a "ladder", he "slid" down without thinking.
When Zhang Or left with Shang Haozhi, Bao Jiyi looked at Shen Xin with a smile.
"You are Teacher Shen, right?" Bao Jiyi smiled.
"Yes. Hello, Chairman Bao."
"Old Shang often mentioned you to me, saying that you might reach the height of Mr. Wang. I didn't believe it at first. If you have the level of Mr. Wang, you can enjoy it not only in the Chinese comic industry, but even in District 11. But After seeing you today, I realized that I was wrong. Your future is limitless, and you are very likely to become the new pillar of "ic future" together with Mr. Ye." Bao Jiyi smiled and looked at Shen Xin with a friendly expression.
"Boss Bao is ridiculous." Shen Xin shook her head.
Bao Jiyi didn't take it seriously. He took off his glasses, took out the glasses cloth from his pocket, and wiped the glasses, "Mr. Shen, the content of "Soul of Chess" should be enough for a season of thirteen episodes, right?"
Shen Xin remained silent, he couldn't figure out what Bao Jiyi meant.
"What requirements do you have for the animation of "Soul of Chess"? I want to hear it." Bao Jiyi put on his glasses again and stared at Shen Xin.
"Me..." Shen Xin raised his head and thought for a while, "My requirements are not too many and too difficult. First, I hope to ensure the quality of animation, including music, voice actors, and the quality of outsourcing companies, etc.; second, If given the chance, I would like to animate the entire manga."
Especially the "Beidou Cup" must be animated.
Bao Jiyi was slightly taken aback, then took out his mobile phone, looked at a few photos, thought for a long time, and then said: "Is this so? If you can beat "The Legend of the Dragon King" for three consecutive months before the end of "Soul of Chess" and become "The Legend of the Dragon King" ic future" small book and booklet in a single month, I agree to this condition. How about it? Young people, you should have confidence in yourself.
"Of course, if the reader's response is good, and an animation company is willing to buy the copyright, "Soul of the Game" can also produce all animations-the production cost of long-form animations is very high. To be honest, whether "Hunting Abyss" can be fully animated, I'm not confident either."
"Three months... It's a deal." Shen Xin looked at Bao Jiyi squarely.
"It's a deal." Bao Jiyi smiled lightly.
