Chapter 288: Negotiation

After Shang Haozhi left, Bao Jiyi still kept smiling, while Longtian was a little depressed.

Although Long Yao is one of the best in China's animation industry, his volume is not in the same order as "icfuture", let alone compared with Yishu Culture.

After putting forward his opinion, Long Tian could only temporarily wait for the answers from Bao Jiyi and Shang Haozhi.

A moment later, Shang Haozhi pushed the door open, and the two turned their heads at the same time.

Shang Haozhi pointed at Bao Jiyi twice, Bao Jiyi understood, smiled and said to Long Tian: "Please wait a moment."

Afterwards, Bao Jiyi stood up and followed Shang Haozhi to the door.

"What's up?"

"Director Bao, how do you handle this matter?"

"Life or death of the character?"

Shang Haozhi nodded.

"Well, how should I put it? Professional matters should be left to experts. I think so. You have been in this industry for a decade or two, and you have more experience than me. To be honest, even if this animation loses money, then It has nothing to do with us, we just need to do a good job of selling the booklet. Besides, even if there is no Longyao, there are other companies, so there is no need to hang on a tree." Bao Jiyi explained, "Who just played phone number?"

"Yokoi... is the editor of "Soul of Chess" in District 11."

"Oh... what's the matter with him?" Bao Jiyi was also a little surprised.

"It's also "Soul of Chess"...cough cough, about Zuo Wei, Orochi also wants to talk to us."

Bao Jiyi's expression immediately became cautious.

If it's just Long Yao, then it doesn't matter, although Long Yao's animations are of high quality, but it is not possible to leave Long Yao and have nothing to play.

When it comes to District 11, the situation is different. He also wants to use "Soul of Chess" to completely open up the market in District 11.

Whether it is the largest magazine "Youth 1eap" in District 11, or the famous animation company Orochi in District 11, they are all very important to Yishu Culture.

"Now?" Bao Jiyi hesitated.

"Now." Shang Haozhi nodded.

"Have they come?"

"Three-way video call." Shang Haozhi explained.

"It's okay, Long Tian and the others are here too, so let's make a video conference." Bao Jiyi shrugged his shoulders, and then he looked at Shang Haozhi, "Old Shang, tell me the truth, let me know what's going on first. .”

"you say."

"From your professional point of view or experience, what do you think about Zuo Wei's fate?"

Shang Haozhi looked solemn.

To be honest, if the object is Wang Yunze, he can support Wang Yunze without hesitation, but if the object is Shen Xin, he is a little uncertain.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Shen Xin's level, but so far, apart from the first short comic, Shen Xin has not completed a complete comic.

If "y's" ended at the beginning, no matter what the ending was, he could support Shen Xin with a pat on the chest, but now he hesitates.

The longer the comic, the more it tests the cartoonist's control over the work. Those who are inexperienced may lose control.

But at this moment, Shang Haozhi can't hesitate, otherwise Bao Jiyi will feel suspicious.

"I... believe him. I believe in Teacher Shen's choice." Shang Haozhi said bravely, "Because..."

Bao Jiyi waved his hand, "You can just tell me the result, I know what to do. You should think up a good story and convince those two groups of people in District 11."

"No problem." Shang Haozhi nodded.

The two re-entered the office, and Long Tian also put down the purified water, "Director Bao, if it's inconvenient, let's make another appointment."

"Don't, Brother Long, it's better to hit the sun than choose the day." Bao Jiyi pushed the frame of the frame, and said with a chuckle, ""Youth 1eap" and orochi also have some opinions on "Soul of Chess", how about this, let's all hold a video conference, have a meeting Whatever the request, put it on the surface."

Long Tian's eyes brightened, if District 11 was also involved, it might indeed make Shen Zheng change his mind.

After all, the capital side holds the right to speak.

"Okay, then we now..."

"Don't worry, this is not a place to talk. There is only one notebook here. The three of us can't squeeze in front of a small screen, right? We are also managers after all. Pay attention to our image and don't throw people abroad." Bao Jiyi reminded .

"That's right." Long Tian rubbed his nose in embarrassment, he thought too little just now.

"Go." Bao Jiyi patted the table, "Go to the meeting room."

Bao Jiyi led Long Tian and Shang Haozhi to the meeting room on one side. Different from the previous meeting room, this one was much smaller and the table was also oval.

Shang Haozhi contacted people in District 11, while Bao Jiyi turned on the computer and projector.

After a turmoil, Murakami and Yokoi from "Shounen 1eap", as well as Orochi's president Fukuda Kungbu and translator Oi Hikari appeared on the screen.

Bao Jiyi didn't prepare an interpreter here, but Yokoi and Oi could build a bridge for District 11, so communication was not a problem.

However, due to the additional steps of translation, the communication between the two parties was not smooth.

After a simple greeting, the meeting also entered the topic.

"I want to hear from Mr. Shang, the follow-up of "Soul of Chess"... that is, has Mr. Shen decided to let the character of Zuo Wei disappear, and is there room for maneuver?" Murakami said straight to the point.

""Soul of Chess" is just a popular comic after all, and Zuo Wei is just a popular character...Even if a popular character leaves, you shouldn't be anxious, right?" Shang Haozhi asked puzzled.

Longyao Animation is anxious about this matter, he can understand.

The year before last, Longyao Animation dug a big hole for itself. Now, due to the outstanding performance of "Soul of Chess", Longyao Animation has finally slowed down.

Therefore, it is normal for them to care about the next plot of "Soul of Chess".

It is not difficult to make an animation, but it is not easy to make a big-selling animation. Otherwise, Longyao Animation will not lose everything because of its self-made animation film.

"Shounen 1eap" and orochi are not the same, they definitely don't have financial pressure.

"Our magazine office holds a magazine popularity poll every year, that is, the characters of all the works in the magazine are voted together." Murakami asked.

"Know."

"Zowei has the highest number of votes among all the characters, and he is the king of votes." Murakami said directly, "After the animation of "Soul of Go" is released, the average sales volume of the single book is about 500,000 copies, so we don't want to see "Soul of Go" avalanche , which in turn affects the sales of comics.”

Shang Haozhi scratched his head.

Being able to win the first place among all the characters in "Youth 1eap" shows that Zuo Wei is considered a popular character in the entire 11 districts, and it is not ruled out that some people become readers of "Soul of Chess" because of Zuowei.

The single book has an average sales volume of 500,000 copies, not to mention in the 11th district, even in China, it is also a best-selling comic.

When these factors are added together, it will indeed be very troublesome to deal with.

"Besides, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Murakami rubbed his hands with a solemn expression.

"What?"

"We recommended "Soul of Chess" to participate in the 'International Manga Award'." Murakami Toru said solemnly.
