Chapter 236: Bao Jiyi's Abacus

animation?

Wang Wenhong looked surprised, and couldn't put down the wine glass in his hand for a long time.

Shang Haozhi also rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Bao Jiyi looks gentle and gentle, but in fact, he is very shrewd and puts interests first. Otherwise, it would not have changed the topic from the serialization of manga to the production of animation in such a short period of time.

Yokoi was a little surprised and wondered whether to translate to Murakami.

Murakami looked at Yokoi in bewilderment, and asked what was going on, Yokoi organized his language a little bit, and translated Bao Jiyi's words into Japanese.

After understanding the meaning of Bao Jiyi's words, Toru Murakami's face was also full of puzzlement.

"What does Mr. Bao mean?" Murakami asked.

"Simple. Everyone can see that this is a very good comic. If high-quality animations are produced, the sales of "Soul of Chess" can be improved. As for animations with poor standards... I don’t need to say more , Mr. Murakami must have a lot of experience in this area, and he should have seen examples of comics being affected because of substandard animation quality.

"I think that for such an excellent work as "Soul of Chess", better animations should be produced—is Mr. Murakami interested? Our two magazines will contact the animation manufacturers to produce this animation. As for the copyright, District 11 will be handed over to you. Agency agency, outside the 11th district, we will act as the agency."

Share the risk...

After Bao Jiyi put forward his opinion, Shang Haozhi guessed his intention.

Toru Murakami must have guessed the reason, but Bao Jiyi's proposal is indeed a win-win situation.

Bring in more companies to share the cost of animation production, everyone gets what they need, even if the final profit is not good, everyone can accept it.

"Hmm... this cooperation... I think it's very interesting, but "leap" only publishes books and doesn't make animations, so I'm going back to discuss with other animation companies... It's best to wait a few months, let's take a look How does this comic resonate in District 11."

"It's okay, but we can only wait until the end of February. In March, we will start making animations and try to show them in July."

"This is not good. By the end of February, we can only judge the trend of "Soul of Chess". If readers respond well, we can contact the appropriate animation company. Therefore, the animation production will be in mid-to-late April at the earliest." Murakami Toru did not say Attracted by the cakes painted by Bao Jiyi, he insisted on his own opinion.

Toru Murakami's answer did not exceed Bao Jiyi's tone. He also knew that people in District 11 were more cautious, so he did not push Toru Murakami too hard, "Yes, I will listen to you. I will wait for your news at the end of March. , Mr. Murakami, I may sell the copyright of the first season of "Soul of Chess" to Longyao Animation Company. I don't need to say more about the strength of this company, right?"

When Wang Wenhong heard the word "Long Yao", his heart beat faster.

Longyao Animation is basically ranked in the top two among domestic animation companies.

There is no need for other companies to intervene, as long as Long Yao is willing to purchase, the animation quality of "Soul of Chess" will definitely surpass that of "Hunting Abyss" - of course, correspondingly, the production cost will also increase.

Shang Haozhi rubbed his chin with a dignified expression.

He knows Bao Jiyi too well. Before today, "Soul of Chess" still has no plans to make animations.

The reason why Bao Jiyi brought Longyao Animation out was not because he really sold the copyright to Longyao Animation.

Instead, I want to take the opportunity to bring "leap" in, and then use "leap" and the animation producers in District 11 to cooperate with Longyao Animation or other animation companies.

In the final analysis, Bao Jiyi's words are "painting cakes".

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and there is nothing to blame for Bao Jiyi's actions.

When Murakami heard "Long Yao", his eyes brightened.

Longyao Animation also came from outsourcing before, and has undertaken many works in District 11, and has a good reputation.

"Since Mr. Bao is so sincere, then...by the end of March, we will definitely give you an answer. If the popularity of "Soul of Chess" is good, we will also find an animation company with a level comparable to 'Long Yao'." Murakami Toru slightly Nodding his head, "We will continue to discuss the specific contract matters tomorrow. What do you think?"

Now only a verbal agreement has been reached. In fact, there are still many details to be dealt with later, most of which are related to funds, and neither party dares to be sloppy.

"That's no problem, as long as Mr. Murakami has time. By the way, when will Mr. Murakami go back?"

After a brief exchange between Yokoi and Murakami, they replied: "Three days later...Mr. Bao, we want to meet Mr. Shen. If it is a simultaneous serialization, we also hope to know about Mr. Shen's situation."

"Ah? So... no problem, Lao Shang, do you have time now?" Bao Jiyi asked back.

"Yes." Shang Haozhi said.

"Then why don't you take the two guests to Mr. Shen's?" Bao Jiyi patted Shang Haozhi on the shoulder, and then said to Yokoi with an apologetic face, "Sorry, I have something to do, so I won't accompany the two of you." seat."

"Thank you."

Yokoi and Murakami stood up from their seats again, and bowed deeply to Bao Jiyi.

When the group left the chairman's office, Shang Haozhi secretly told Wang Wenhong to inform Shen Xin that he would wait for him in the parking lot.

Wang Wenhong nodded, and after the three entered the elevator, he dialed Shen Xin's number.

Shen Xin is feeling uncomfortable now, she didn't sleep much all night, but she felt sleepy during the day, but she couldn't fall asleep again.

The three assistants below were very energetic, and he could only grit his teeth and persevere, otherwise, his progress would be caught up.

Just after drawing a line draft and preparing to take a break, the mobile phone in the drawer rang.

Shen Xin took out a piece of paper, wiped off the ink on her hands, and then connected the phone.

"Brother Wang, what's the matter?"

"I should ask you this sentence. Are you okay now?"

"Painting."

"Is work stressful?"

"It's okay." Shen Xin glanced downstairs, the assistants' work progress was not slow, "What's the matter with you?"

"Wait a while, it should be more than an hour, Mr. Shang, and Murakami Toru, go back to your studio." Wang Wenhong stood by the elevator switch, pressed the down button, and waited for the elevator to come up.

"Murakami Toru...who is it?" Shen Xin was at a loss.

"The editor-in-chief of "Young Leap" and another editor are coming soon. You should prepare a little bit, at least you need to clean up the hygiene."

Shen Xin was a little dazed.

The editor-in-chief of "Young Leap"? What is he here for?

Just as Shen Xin wanted to ask, a "beep" sound came from the phone.

"Hello..." Wang Wenhong yelled twice after entering the elevator, but realized that the phone was disconnected, so he put away the phone depressedly.

"Mr. Shen, what's the matter?" Ma Ning looked up at Shen Xin.

"Brother Wang said that the editor-in-chief of "Youth Leap" is coming, let us clean up." Shen Xin came to the fence and explained to several assistants.

"Eh? "Youth Leap"? You won't be introducing "Soul of Chess" right?" Lu Ning asked in surprise.

"Probably not... "Soul of Chess" has only been serialized for half a year, and it has only gained a little fame in China... Could it be that "Soul of Chess" is really introduced." Ma Ning only spoke half of the sentence, and then changed his tone.

If it wasn't related to "Soul of Chess", the editor-in-chief of "Youth Leap" didn't need to come here.

"Then... shall we clean?" Gao Hang asked in a low voice.

"Well, you can figure it out? Just sweep the ground a little bit, and there is no need to do 'face-saving projects'. The most important thing is work." Shen Xin yawned and returned to her seat.
