My Cartoonist Guide

　　 The two are not very old, that is, they are in their early twenties. One of them has a ball head tied with a smile on his face and has a lively personality, while the other has long curly hair and looks relatively stable.

　　 "Sister Yan, I'm a little nervous now." The ball head girl rubbed her hands nervously, "The first volume of "Ghost Power" will be released soon. I'm really afraid of bad grades."

"For the first book of a newcomer, keep a stable mind, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." Yan Fei combed her hair, "I think it is a good result to be able to complete the reprint within a week. Teacher Shen's first Only 50,000 copies were printed in the first edition of a volume."

"That’s what I said, but I don’t know if he can sell 250,000 copies within a week. Otherwise, Mr. Shen writes one or two recommendations and puts them on the waistband. How about? Sister Yan, help me ask. Come to Teacher Shen, please." Xiaoli put her hands together, letting go on top of her head.

　　 Teacher Shen?

　　The middle-aged man glanced at Yan Fei, and muttered in his heart: "This teacher Shen, isn't it Shen Zheng?"

　　 After leaving the building, Yan Fei and Xiaoli separated, and the middle-aged man immediately followed Yan Fei.

　　 "Excuse me, the teacher Shen you mentioned just now, is that teacher Shen Zheng?"

　　 Yan Fei stopped, and Niu Tau looked at the middle-aged man, who was wearing a black professional suit, sweating profusely, and anxious.

　　 After looking at it for a moment, Yan Fei was sure that she did not know the middle-aged person in front of her, so she nodded slightly, "That's right."

　　 "Then your relationship with him is..."

　　 "I am the editor in charge of Teacher Shen." Yan Fei nodded and said.

"Oh... So you are the editor in charge of "s"." The middle-aged man was beaming and took out a business card from the card holder. "Hello, my name is Zou Nan, I am the project manager of Yingyin Animation, responsible for animation. Copyright operation. Do you have time now?"

　　 "There is time, but if you want to buy the copyright, you should go to the president? I am not responsible for the copyright of "’s"."

　　 "Hey, I'm also forced to do nothing?" Zou Nan smiled bitterly, "If I can talk to him, I don't have to be so worried."

　　 "What's the matter?" Yan Fei asked in confusion.

"Can I borrow your time? I want to explain the general situation to you. After all, this matter is also related to "s". If Teacher Shen can help, maybe this matter can be negotiated." Zou Nan said patiently. .

　　 Yan Fei looked at Zou Nan's anxious expression and nodded.

　　 As far as she knows, Zou Nan came here more than once, indicating that the other party is really concerned about "s", and the quality of the animation produced by Yingyin is also well-known.

　　 The nearest "Hunting Abyss" is a good example. So, listening to his remarks, there is no problem.

　　 The two found a coffee shop nearby. Zou Nan put the briefcase on the chair next to him, and they each ordered a cup of coffee.

　　 "I heard that Yingyin plans to allocate 1.8 million to purchase the production copyright of "s"?" Yan Fei said first.

　　 "Now it is 2 million." Zou Nan corrected.

　　 "Even if it is 2 million, it is too small. Last year, "Fu Yaozhi" was far less popular than "s", and it sold 2.4 million?" Yan Fei questioned.

　　 "You haven't been involved in animation production much, have you?" Zou Nan asked.

　　 Yan Fei nodded, "I am mostly exposed to comics, and I am really not familiar with animation."

　　 "This is no wonder. Miss Yan, although the effects of the animation are almost the same after filming, in fact, animation and animation are different." Zou Nan sighed.

　　 Yan Fei didn't know these details, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.

"Generally speaking, animation companies buy copyrights and make animations, and then sell TV broadcast rights to TV stations in exchange for production fees. The DVD, bd, and online versions of animations still belong to animation companies. Many animations are produced in this way. , Such as "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "The Hunting Abyss".

　　 "In addition, there is another kind of animation, that is, after an animation company produces an animation, it is handed over to the TV station for free, and the production cost is borne by the animation company."

　　 Yan Fei frowned, "Why give it to the TV station for free?"

　　 "Propaganda, animation companies rely on TV stations to sell DVDs." Zou Nan explained.

　　 "Wait...you wouldn't say, "s" belongs to the latter kind, right?" Yan Fei asked in surprise.

"Actually, considering that "'s" cannot be broadcast during prime time, and the production cost provided by the TV station will not be too high, we have made the worst plan. Of course, this is only one aspect. If you want to produce " The animation of "s" is also very expensive."

"How many?"

"Let me tell you, we just made "Hunting Abyss". The production cost of the episode of "Hunting Abyss" is 650,000. Therefore, the production cost of one episode per season is less than 9 million. The production cost of "s" is expected to start at 800,000. ."

　　 "800,000!" Yan Fei was taken aback.

　　 The production cost of one episode is 150,000 more, and one season will cost more than 1 million.

　　 "Wait, I don't quite understand why the production cost of "s" is so high?" Yan Fei is a bit big, aren't both of them animated?

"Because the plot of "s" is more delicate, the expression changes of the characters are more complicated, and Mr. Shen Zheng's painting style is more realistic, we also need high-quality painters to complete the creation, so the cost is higher than ordinary animation. , This may not include the cost of music production, and we will find a record company to cooperate in the later stage."

Zou Nan rubbed his face, his tone was full of helplessness, "If we only produce 12 episodes, the cost will start at 9.6 million, plus 2 million in copyright, even if we join the ad and look for other partners, the production cost is still Can’t get it down~www.NovelMTL.com~ It’s not that we don’t want to raise prices, but that we can’t raise them at all.

　　 Yan Fei thought carefully, and then remembered another question.

　　 "Why don't you find more companies? Form a committee like in District 11. In this case, your pressure will be much less, right?"

　　Zou Nan sighed again, and the spoon stirred lightly in the coffee cup.

"Miss Yan, it is composed of companies in different industries. Some companies have a demand for game development, and some have a demand for film and television. In order to reduce risks, these companies will form a committee to develop animations while developing other companies. Copyright. But your company has taken apart the copyright of "'s" and sold it. It is no longer possible for us to bring in game companies. Until now, no company is interested in "'s" movies.

　　 "Then there is a toy company, but to be honest, "’s" can at most be a figure or other peripherals, but it does not solve the fundamental problem."

　　 Yan Fei rubbed her chin. Perhaps what Zou Nan said was true, but she didn't know anything about animation production, and she didn't even know whether Zou Nan's data was true or false, so she could only listen to Zou Nan's explanation dryly.

　　 "To be honest, although I really want to help you, I really can't say anything in this matter." Yan Fei shook her head, "I'm just a responsible editor, only responsible for the quality of the comics, and not involved in other aspects."

　　 "Can I ask Mr. Shen for help? He is a manga author, should he have a certain right to speak?" Zou Nan asked quickly.

　　 "I'm sorry... Teacher Shen can hardly help me with this matter." Yan Fei apologized.
