Sixty-Six: Spitting out lotus flowers

“What’s the origin of this Yinlou animation company!” Sitting on the sofa and coffee table, Su Jie asked while gnawing grapes.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu sat on the left of Su Jie, with no emotion on his face, Machida Sonoko was a little worried, and explained after hearing this: “Silver House Animation Company has been established for more than ten years and has published more than 30 animations, so it is considered an old brand. Animation production company, the capital is still good, in the current Japanese animation production industry, ranking in the top ten.”

“The more established companies are, the more wrangling they are, and some are entangled.” Su Jie said with a chuckle. Although Su Jie was a squat in his previous life, he also went out to work for two years when he just graduated from university. These things are not considered. too strange.

“I’m afraid the price will be lowered! They are insisting that Mr. Xia Shizi is a newcomer, and they are unwilling to win it for 8 million.”

Machida Yuanzi looked at Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, hesitated for a while, and said, “Why don’t Xia Shizi think about whether they can accept their lower price.”

Before Xiazhiqiu Shiyu could speak, Su Jie said, “This will satisfy Kenichi Ikeda’s will. Leave it to me later. I have a way for him to buy the copyright for 8 million. After all, I am also a poet.” The illustrator of classmate Yu should also contribute his meager strength.”Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Shiwa looked at Su Jie in surprise. Su Jie looked serious and didn’t seem to be joking, but what he said was indeed a joke.

**********************Dividing line*********************

Half an hour passed in a flash, and the two sides sat at the negotiating table again.

“As for the copyright fee, we think 5 million is a reasonable price.” As soon as he was seated, Kenichi Ikeda cut straight to the point and cut the price of 8 million yen by half. His appetite was really strong.

Su Jie crossed his hands on the table, shook his head at Ikeda Kenichi, and said with a smile: “Manager Ikeda, I’m afraid you made a mistake. Teacher Xia Shizi’s works are not worried about selling, and the price you offer is not acceptable to us. Five million yen, maybe you can go and see other Dengeki Bunko Silver and Bronze Prize works.”

Machida Sonoko opened her mouth to speak, but she didn’t expect Su Jie to be so radical.

You must know that the current Dengeki Bunko’s strength is at the middle level in the publishing house. It is easy to ruin the business by being so tough. In the end, it was the self-confidence on Su Jie’s face that made Machida Sonoko hesitate for a while but still did not intervene.

“Can Teacher Su’s opinion represent Teacher Xia Shizi?” Ikeda Kenichi was a little puzzled when he saw that Su Jie was leading the situation with his words, and he still had a very tough attitude. Logically speaking, illustrators of this kind of copyright trading are not qualified to intervene.

“Su Jun’s words are what I mean.” Although Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu’s tone is flat, everyone can hear the firmness in it. Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu may not believe that Su Jie can successfully keep the price, but when necessary, he still shows his actions. The trust and support of friends.

“It seems that Mr. Su wants to talk to us. We can determine the copyright price factors from several aspects. First, “Love Metronome” is a new work, and the first volume has only been serialized so far, and the content of the volume is not enough. In order to allow us to complete the production of 13 episodes of TV action plots, we currently choose to purchase copyrights, more for the storage of copyright resources. To really make the plots enough to support animation creation, plus our animation production time, it will take at least half a year It will take more than a year to complete the animation production and put it on the shelves for screening, which is too long for us to return funds, and the price is too high for us to afford.”

“Secondly, Teacher Xia Shizi is a new author. I don’t mean to belittle it, but novice authors are always unstable. Many external factors can easily interfere with the creation or even make the work halfway. The price of 8 million yen is very risky for us. Big, if the final work dies, we will lose everything, 5 million yen is not low, this price is even very generous for newcomers, enough to maintain the living security of teacher Xia Shizi when she is not creating , can also reduce the risk we need to take.”

“Thirdly, the current Japanese animation industry is not a big industry with hundreds of billions of trillions of capital. There are only dozens of companies looking for food here. If the first two things go well, there is no guarantee whether our animation will be popular. You must know that any industry can make money and lose money, and we can’t guarantee that the animation adapted from “Love Metronome” will not appear cold, especially the current animations are mostly tepid, and the profits we want to reap are not as much as you imagine. On the contrary, there is a high chance of being unpopular, and if there is not enough audience base, it will be difficult for us to sell merchandise, which is also a risk that we must consider.”

Kenichi Ikeda stretched out three fingers, and after explaining why he couldn’t accept 8 million yen, he played the favor card again, and sighed: “To be honest, our Yinlou Animation Company came to Mrs. Kasumi Shiko when he was just creating. , I also came here with sincerity, if the business cannot be negotiated in the end, I also hope to become friends with Teacher Xia Shizi, and there will be opportunities to continue to cooperate in the future, Dazhi, show us our meeting gift.”

“Hayi!” The director of Yinlou Animation Company took out a gift box, opened it, and handed it to Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

Inside the box is a Pegasus Silver Medal, which is extremely exquisitely carved and lifelike. It is slightly larger than ordinary one-dollar coins. Its wings flutter and hoofs look like it is about to spread its wings and fly.

“This Pegasus medal is given to the beautiful and intelligent teacher Xia Shizi. I wish that teacher Xia Shizi can create more exciting and fascinating works in the future. Like this Pegasus, she will bring more spiritual food to the world with her imaginative imagination. .”

Ikeda Kenichi said with a slight smile, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu looked at Su Jie with searching eyes.

Su Jie is almost a Muggle now!

Damn, Kenichi Ikeda came prepared! There is a set of principles, especially the last trick of giving gifts is a stroke of genius. Su Jie and the others are embarrassed to sell the copyright at a high price.

It has to be said that Ikeda Kenichi’s personal level is really impressive for being able to achieve the position of manager. If ordinary people would be stunned by him, his eloquence is useless! If Ikeda were to do insurance sales, he wouldn’t be sure!

“Since it’s Manager Ikeda’s kindness, then respect is worse than obedience.” Fortunately, Su Jie was thick-skinned enough not to be stunned by Ikeda Kenichi’s fast punch of lotus flowers, and reached out to accept the Pegasus Medal for Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu. It was handed over to Xiazhiqiu Shiyu.

A well-hidden smile flashed across Ikeda Ken’s eyes, thinking that by accepting the medal, Su Jie accepted the five million copyright fee.

However, things did not go as Ikeda Kenichi imagined.”But ah! Gifts belong to gifts, and copyright fees still need to be discussed.” With cunning in Su Jie’s eyes, what he said made Ikeda Kenichi stunned on the spot. Arbitrary
