Chapter 103: Negotiation

The working hours of cartoonists are often very casual, and Chu Yu also adjusts them according to his class time.

After Lin Fan and He Sheng agreed on the working hours with Chu Yu, under Li Xi's instructions, the two left temporarily.

After all....... The next thing should not be heard by the two of them.

"Is there something wrong? we need to separate those two!" Chu Yu looked at Li Xi suspiciously.

"Of course ......"

"You forgot?"

"I haven't heard of the name of the flower......" Li Xi said.

"This matter seems to be a bit eyebrow-raising!"

When Chu Yu heard this, his heartbeat was a beat faster.

After getting along with Li Xi a few times, Chu Yu also knows Li Xi's style of doing things, and she can use the word eyebrows to describe this matter, which means that this matter is already inseparable.

"Now....... What's the situation?" Chu Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"A few days ago, I submitted the work of Unheard Flower Name to Nine Star Animation Production Company......"

Nine stars!

Chu Yu's face froze, of course he had heard of this company, in addition to his identity as a cartoonist, he was also a senior anime fan.

In the Dragon Kingdom, Nine Stars, Da Kai, Dragon Leap..... The works of these animation production companies can be said to have accompanied the childhood of Chu Yu's generation of comic fans.

"They...... Do you have any ideas for the animation of unheard flower names?" Chu Yu took a deep breath.

"Almost!" Li Xi nodded.

"Originally, it was impossible to decide this kind of thing so quickly, a few days ago, I showed your work to a producer of Nine Stars, and he was very satisfied on the spot...... But he said that he doesn't have the final say on this kind of thing, and the work has to be shown to the leader......"

"But it seems that the high-level executives of Nine Stars are also very interested in your work......"

"It's only been a few days, and Jiuxing has already given me a reply, inviting you to go to Jiuxing Comics Company this Sunday to discuss this matter!"

"Sunday...... Is it two days from now?" Chu Yu nodded.

"That's fine. ”

"Of course, it's all about making sure you can finish your comics. Li Xi said.

"These matters between you and Jiuxing are not within the scope of my work as a Xuangui editor, but helping you complete these trivial matters as soon as possible will also help you return to the creation of comics as soon as possible, in order for you to complete the cooperation with Jiuxing as soon as possible, I will accompany you in two days!" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.

"Understood!" Chu Yu nodded.

"Don't worry about the manga draft, there's still so much time before the deadline for the fourth episode you said, but I'm basically about to finish the fourth episode by myself. ”

.......

Two days later, Sunday!

Li Xi changed out of his usual professional attire and changed into a casual outfit.

The hair that is tied up on weekdays is also draped behind the shoulders.

Riding in Li Xi's car, Chu Yu followed her to Jiuxing Animation Production Company.

Li Xi took Chu Yu straight in, and the staff inside did not stop her, and soon, the two came to an office.

Li Xi wanted to push the door in directly, but after thinking about it, she gave way and signaled Chu Yu to go first, and was the first to enter the door.

After all, it was Chu Yu who was invited, if she did everything, where would Chu Yu be?

Taking a deep breath, Chu Yu gently knocked on the office door.

"Please come in!"

Chu Yu pushed the door in.

As far as the eye can see, it is a clean and tidy room.

The interior is simple, several lockers, a desk.

On the other side of the table was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, trousers and shirts, and the whole person looked unusually energetic.

"Hello ....... Mr. Shuixin."

"I'm an animator at Nine Star Animation, named Huang Ming!"

Seeing Chu Yu come in, Huang Ming stood up, walked up to Chu Yu and shook hands with him.

"Hello, Shui Xin is just my comic pen name, my real name is Chu Yu, you can just call me Chu Yu!" Chu Yu Wannian's cold face squeezed out a smile.

Anyway, face still has to be given to the other party.

"That's okay, then I'll call you Chu Yu directly, it's always a teacher, I feel a sense of rustiness!"

Chu Yu, Li Xi and Huang Ming didn't talk nonsense and quickly took their seats.

The assistant poured a cup of tea for each of the three and left, closing the office door.

"Since Chu Yu, you have come to our Nine Stars today...... You should also know a little bit about it. ”

"Then I'm not going to beat around the bush......"

"Your submission has not heard of the name, after the past few days, our whole animation company has relevant personnel about this project after reading it, they all agree that this work is very much in line with our requirements, and it is the most compliant ...... among the submissions we have received today" Huang Ming said at this time, his eyes staring at Chu Yu.

"I invite you here today, it's actually very simple, I just want to discuss with you the cost and contract of the animation adaptation of related works. ”

So straightforward?

Chu Yu was stunned.

Is this a contract?

It's animated!

How many cartoonists who draw comics all their lives may not have this opportunity!

"Uh, you....... Say it!"

"Okay, I'll just say it!"

Huang Ming said in a deep voice, "The highest price that our club can offer is 700,000 Dragon Coins! ”

700,000!

When Chu Yu heard this, he had no concept of this number in his heart.

In Japan, which is parallel to time and space, the cost of adapting the animation to the author is generally 10 to 200,000 yen per episode.

Converted to 10,000 RMB per episode.

In the Dragon Kingdom, because of the large population and the increase in the audience, this will also lead to an increase in the traffic of the work, and the price of the adaptation will also rise, but in comparison, it is generally the price of seventy or eighty thousand Dragon Kingdom coins per episode.

The price offered by Huang Ming, to be honest, is already given according to the price of adapting those works that are somewhat famous.

After all, it is easy to fool Chu Yu, but it is difficult to fool Li Xi, so Huang Ming is also very direct.

Chu Yu looked at Li Xi......

He didn't understand this thing at all, and he hadn't studied it before.

"One million and four hundred thousand. Li Xi also understood what Chu Yu meant, and spoke.

"This can't be!" Huang Ming smiled.

Judging from the content of the name manuscript given by Chu Yu, it will be made into an animation of about ten episodes. ”

"If you give it at this price, it's almost already the cost of adapting a fairly famous work on the market. ”

"You know, this work has not been serialized in any journal before, it can be said that it is a completely unpopular work, and the price of 700,000 can be given, which is also given by our company because of Chu Yu's identity as the winner of the Dragon Star Award, considering the number of fans of his works in various parts of the Dragon Country. ”

"Huang Ming, just fool others with your words, do you think it will work in front of me?" Li Xi sneered.

"The quality of this work is obvious to all, and there are indeed many famous works on the market, but those works may not be very good when adapted into animation, and they do not meet your company's requirements for submissions. ”

And this work does not have the existence of the original comics.,It means that until the end of the animation.,No one knows the tearful plot of the final drawing.,The audience's reaction after the animation starts will be more obvious.,There are no spoilers.,In comparison,I think this is the advantage of this work.。 ”

"And aside from that, just based on the quality of this work, I think it's no worse than the quality of the so-called popular works in the world......"

Li Xi's words are also nonsense, purely forcible and forceful, but they do come up with some truths.

Huang Ming couldn't refute Li Xi for a while.

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand?" Huang Ming was silent for a while.

He also understands Li Xi very well, and knows that this woman is a vegetable market aunt type, and her favorite thing is bargaining, so he deliberately reported it low at the beginning, giving Li Xi some room for counteroffer.

"One million and four million!" Li Xi did not budge.

"Eight hundred thousand!"

"That's it, one million and four million!" Li Xi's tone did not waver in a slight.

"Okay, okay, one million dragon coins, this is the psychological bottom line of our nine stars, if you don't agree, forget it!" Huang Ming was a little angry, this woman didn't play cards according to the routine at all.

Shouldn't it be me eighty, you one hundred and two, me ninety, and you one hundred and eleven?

Why am I relieved, but you are not loose at all?
