The winds are warm in July.

Lu Yuan looked at the group of tourists basking in the sun or playing beach volleyball on Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles.

There was a look of yearning on his face.

Once upon a time, I dreamed of coming to such a beach to play volleyball, bask on the beach, and by the way, carefully appreciate some balls of various colors of different shapes and sizes with a very simple gaze......

However, this longing only lasted for a moment, and he continued to look back at the ship.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Call!

It's finally almost over!

"The Pianist at Sea" has been filmed for so long, and now it has finally reached the final stage, if there is no accident, on the 15th of next month, "The Pianist at Sea" will be played, right?

Very good.

Lu Yuan nodded.

He was a little tired during this time.

He thought that after the filming of "The Pianist at Sea" was finished, he would have to rest for a while.

After walking across the beach and getting into the car arranged by Forrest to return to the company, Lu Yuan received a phone call.

The call was made by Wang Jinxue.

"Hmm, Kimura, who is Kimura?"

"The person in charge of this "Weekly Shonen"?"

"What did he ask me for?"

Lu Yuan was at a loss.

Lu Yuan knew about the magazine "Weekly Youth".

This is a very famous manga magazine in R Ben, and at the same time there have been many popular anime such as "Hell Girl", "Nightmare High School", "Robot from the Future" and so on.

"Naruto" and "Bleach under my own company" were serialized in this anime company.

But......

What did he do to come to me for something?

Half an hour later, Lu Yuan walked out of the car.

When he walked down, he saw an old man wearing a beret sitting on a stone bench outside the company looking at a palm tree outside the company, and a young man wearing glasses and looking like a translator stood next to him.

When the old man saw Lu Yuan, the old man stood up excitedly and greeted him, and his originally calm eyes instantly turned into an indescribable excitement.

"Lu Jun, hello!"

"Hello, you should be Mr. Kimura."

"Lu Jun, I've admired you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be much younger than I thought, it's incredible, it's incredible!" Kimura held Lu Yuan's arm and refused to let go for a long time, and his voice was even more vibrato, like a fan seeing an idol.

"Mr. Kimura, let's go in and talk. Lu Yuan smiled, but his expression gradually became a little embarrassed.

Admire......

This......

It's really ...... to be admired by such a withered old man

Weird!

"Good!"

Kimura nodded, then let go of his hand and followed Lu Yuan into the company.

....................................

"Lu Jun, I want the anime rights of these two comics...... I'm willing to spend 30 million yuan to buy the anime copyright of these two comics......"

"Mr. Kimura, you mean, are you sure you want to spend 60 million yuan to buy the anime rights of these two manga?"

"Yes! Lu Jun!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kimura, I've already given you the manga license for these two manga, but I can't give you the anime copyright, I can only give you the anime license adaptation ...... at most"

"Authorized adaptation?"

"Yes, authorized adaptation ......"

After a period of praise, Lu Yuan finally knew the intention of this Kimura.

He wants the rights to his anime.

Yes!

It's copyright, not an authorized adaptation.

Lu Yuan learned through Kimura's information that there was an animation company called "JG" behind Kimura's "Weekly Shonen".

A lot of famous anime came out of this "JG" anime company.

But......

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Kimura seems to be an honest person, but in fact he is very good.

When he said that he had bought the anime rights of these two comics for 30 million pieces, his expression was very excited, revealing that he was bleeding profusely......

His expression, his voice, all revealed the expression that Lu Yuan had earned.

In fact, if it was a year ago, Lu Yuan would definitely be excited when he saw such a large number, but now......

Lu Yuan didn't have any ideas.

Although 60 million is not a small number.

But......

What does it mean that you want to buy the animation copyright for 60 million yuan? That is, 60 million yuan, and buy all the animation copyrights of these two comics, which means that after 60 million yuan, no matter how popular and awesome the animation of these two comics is, it has nothing to do with you.

If Lu Yuan wasn't a traverser, maybe the price was really good.

But......

Lu Yuan is a traverser.

How popular were Bleach and Naruto in the original world?

Lu Yuan will not know?

Even if this world is a little different from the original world, Lu Yuan will not sell it.

In a very speechless sentence, it is impossible to sell anime rights for 60 million dollars!

"Lu Jun, although the market research and sales of these two anime are very good at present, there are too many good manga in R, and now it is a depression period in anime, and it is impossible for a miracle anime like "Hell Girl" to explode in Rben anymore......" Kimura looked at Lu Yuan.

In fact, he was a little puzzled.

30 million anime licensed.

It's almost the same as some of R's first-line anime!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kimura, but if I'm talking about copyright, I can't sell my copyright. Lu Yuan shook his head, his expression becoming very firm.

"That, what Lu Jun means ......"

"Authorization, yes, authorization, I am willing to license these two anime adaptations to you...... Of course, in terms of price, I think 60 million is too low for two parts, which does not meet my psychological price, and I hope to get a 20% share of the anime......"

"Lu Jun, you ...... It's a bit fierce, isn't it...... I can't accept that. When Kimura heard this, he immediately shook his head.

Are you kidding!

This treatment.

Isn't it the same treatment as Mr. Tezuka?

Even if "Bleach and Naruto" are very popular at the moment, right?

And in the past two years, the anime of the R book has indeed entered a slightly sluggish stage, because after a film called "Children of the Sea" lost a lot of money in the first two years, "JG" has very limited funds in all aspects, and it is impossible to spend money and risk it anymore.

In case of another loss.

Then the "JG" company is really going to enter a difficult period of winter.

"Mr. Kimura, that's a shame. Lu Yuan laughed.

"yes, it's a bit of a pity. Kimura also stood up and expressed his regret "Lu Jun, although the anime adaptation has not been talked about, but we "Weekly Boy" still hope to continue to cooperate with Lu Jun in comics, we plan to vigorously promote and promote your two comics, Lu Jun, this is our next publicity plan, Lu Jun, I hope you can take a look at ......"

"Oh?"

in the conference room.

Kimura was a little disappointed when he saw that he couldn't talk about anime copyrights, but the disappointment was disappointment, and the work that should be done was still done.

Immediately after, he handed a thick publicity plan to Lu Yuan, and when Lu Yuan took the plan, he saw that the plan was divided into two parts, one part was all in R and the other was in Chinese.

Lu Yuan didn't have any opinions after reading the plan carefully.

He is not very familiar with this place, and if he wants to publicize it, he can rest assured that he will be far away from them.

After seeing Lu Yuan nodding in agreement, a smile appeared on Kimura's face.

In fact, it would be nice to talk about these things on the phone, but Kimura still felt that he had to maintain a certain amount of sincerity.

After all, in Kimura's eyes, talking about business is talking about business, even if both sides are dissatisfied and angry, it's just business, but once the negotiation is completed, such as the comics serialized in his hand, he won't deliberately make some small actions because of some unpleasantness, after all, this is character!

After the two chatted about these things, Kimura didn't want to leave, and then chatted with Lu Yuan about a lot of musical things, which was mixed with praise and admiration for Lu Yuan's songs.

Lu Yuan suddenly found that Kimura, the little old man, had a very terrifying knowledge of music, and basically Kimura was talking about it in the back of the conversation, while Lu Yuan was listening......

Even postmodern classicism and the like, nouns that Lu Yuan couldn't understand were all uttered by Kimura.

Lu Yuan listened to Kimura's chatter, and then looked at the time subconsciously.

He noticed that it was already six o'clock in the evening.

Lu Yuan looked at Wang Jinxue next to him, and walked over to have a meal with him.

Wang Jinxue will return to China tomorrow, and Lu Yuan originally planned to have a steak with Wang Jinxue tonight and enjoy the time between the two.

But looking at Kimura's appearance of no eyesight at all.

Finally looked at Kimura and couldn't help but interrupt Kimura's words.

Mr. Kimura...... It's dinner time, if you don't suggest it, why don't you have dinner together?But, Mr. Kimura, you should be quite busy, if you're busy, forget it......" Lu Yuan hinted to Kimura......

"Huh? That's great...... I'm not busy, I'm not busy, it's my luck to be able to talk to Mr. Lu Yuan more, I know that there is a steak here that is delicious, Mr. Lu Yuan, why don't we go and eat steak together......"

"......" Lu Yuan saw the old man's even more excited expression.

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Special!

He's just polite!

A polite and polite remark of Chinese traditionalism.

Don't you know what politeness is?

It's just a polite invitation, why are you serious?

Can't you be a little more self-conscious?

"Okay then, Mr. Kimura......" Lu Yuan choked a little painfully.

This man......

Are you here to eat?

This man......

Why is it more shameless than me?

"Hmm!"

....................................

The steak was not very happy.

Once I sat down, there was an atmosphere of unhappiness everywhere.

At least, Lu Yuan and Wang Jinxue both felt that Kimura's light bulb was too bright.

The sound of "Dream Wedding" came from the café.

When the old man Kimura heard this, he was very excited.

And then......

Wang Jinxue watched the old man chatter endlessly and talked to Lu Yuan about piano art.

Of course......

Basically, Kimura is talking, and Lu Yuan is listening.

She noticed Lu Yuan's expression.

Lu Yuan was also speechless.

Finally......

After eating for about ten minutes.

"Lu Yuan, don't you have a very important meeting waiting for the meeting? It seems too late now!"

"Huh? Looks like ......"

"Hurry up......"

"Good. ”

Lu Yuan subconsciously looked at the time, and then ate the steak on the plate three times and five by two.

After eating, he glanced apologetically at Kimura.

"Mr. Kimura, I'm sorry that I suddenly remembered that there was an important meeting. ”

"Ah, Lu Jun, is this meeting related to comics? I heard that you also have a comic company in the United States......" Kimura's eyes lit up.

"No, it's okay...... It's something within the company, Mr. Kimura, I have to be out of company for a while......" Lu Yuan was a little speechless when he saw Kimura's eyes light up.

"Okay, that's okay. Kimura nodded regretfully, and then looked at Lu Yuan and Wang Jinxue and turned around to leave with a smile.

Look at their backs.

He felt sorry again.

About half an hour later......

Kimura stood at the door of the café.

Then he stared blankly at the three-hundred-dollar bill.

He was stunned!

He suddenly understood.

It seems like......

Out of place on your own?

....................................

"Snow ......"

"What's wrong?"

"You say, isn't it very profitable to be an animation company?"

"In the past two years, the R anime has indeed been a little depressed, but as long as you don't play big, you can still make money, wait, Lu Yuan, what do you want to do?"

"I didn't ...... I didn't do anything, I just asked, how much do you know about animation companies?"

"Well, know some, but not much......"

"Oh, tell me about it?"

"Which one do you want to know?"

"Huh?"

Lu Yuan and Wang Jinxue walked on the path by the river.

A strange thought suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan's mind.

Subsequently......

When he saw Wang Jinxue silently telling Lu Yuan a lot about the current situation and situation of the R anime, Lu Yuan was a little confused.

Forehead......

Is this much?

"Catch the thief!"

"Catch the thief!"

"Don't run, catch the thief!"

It was at this time......

Lu Yuan heard a girl shouting behind him......

Lu Yuan subconsciously looked at the back.

Then, he saw a dark shadow flash in front of him.

Lu Yuangang wanted to give full play to his righteous heroic spirit.

But......

"Bang!"

Wang Jinxue, who was originally very serious about the current situation of R to Lu Yuan, suddenly narrowed her eyes and turned around almost reflexively......

Subsequently!

Lu Yuan saw a scene that he would never forget.

He......

Stunned.
