"Some people feel okay, although they also have the intention of taking advantage, but the strength is still there. As for the rest of the people, most of them are the kind that are indiscriminate, or simply the leather bag company, and they want to empty the gloves of the white wolf. ”

Cao Xiang said contemptuously: "They just have a fluke mentality, hoping that you don't understand anything, or your IQ is not online, listen to their fools, and then make a lot of money." ”

"You just say it's reliable. Shiraba shrugged.

As for the unreliable, he didn't have the patience to listen. I want to fool him...... Maybe his predecessor will be fooled, but he is an old fritter and fools each other, and no one will necessarily be fooled.

"Look at this. Cao Xiang flicked a business card over.

Bai Ye caught it with his hand, and was stunned at a glance: "Art Publishing House...... What is this?"

"Among the bunch of people, I think this one is the most reliable. ”

Cao Xiang explained: "This publishing house wants the copyright of your sketch group. ”

"Copyright. ”

Bai Ye was stunned, and said confusedly: "What do you want copyright?"

"It's a sale. ”

Cao Xiang was a little strange, and simply explained: "To put it bluntly, I want your authorization, and then make the sketch group into decorative paintings, or other stickers and other things to sell." ”

"Huh?"

Bai Ye's eyes widened: "This requires authorization...... Ahem, got it. ”

He immediately realized that this was not the original time and space, piracy was rampant, and there was no way to investigate it without asking about self-inflicted matters. In this world, there is a perfect copyright system, and there will never be a loophole.

"That publishing house is also well-known in Zhonghai, with good strength, and its sales network covers several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. The point is that they also have sincerity and give two options for you to choose. ”

Cao Xiang continued: "One plan is to buy out, give you a large sum of money, buy out the authorization. In the future, how they want to print and produce, how they want to market and sell, and how much profit they have, it has nothing to do with you. The other option is to share, you give them authorization, they are responsible for promoting the sale, and then you are paid as a percentage. ”

"There are two options, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. ”

Cao Xiang analyzed: "The buyout money comes quickly, and it is divided into a long stream. Of course, whether it is a buyout or a share, how much money to give also needs to be discussed slowly. ”

"That's right, you have to negotiate. Bai Ye thought so.

He suddenly thought that Picasso's work "The Transformation Process of the Ox" in the original time and space is a classic that has swept the world and endured. He has seen the printed decorative paintings of this work in many places, including schools, libraries, hotels, and many people's homes.

It's a vast market.

In an instant, Bai Ye also made a decision: "Share, it must be a share, and it is also a non-exclusive authorized share." ”

"Are you sure?"

Cao Xiang was stunned, and then reminded: "Non-exclusive sharing, the price is definitely not high." Exclusive licensing, basically has a 5% to 10% share. If it's not exclusive, it's only about one to five percent. ”

"It's not exclusive. ”

Bai Ye said firmly: "I believe that the transformation process of the cow and the sales volume of this group of works will definitely not disappoint me, and maybe there will be a huge surprise." ”

"Really?"

Cao Xiang nodded, and didn't talk nonsense.

He has always been very clear about his position. Bai Ye has made a decision, he is responsible for helping to fight for the maximum benefit, instead of overstepping his responsibilities and helping Bai Ye to make the decision.

How many agents just can't figure this out, have conflicts with artists, like to point fingers at artists, arrange everything on their own, and the final result will definitely be a parting of ways.

"In addition to this publishing house, is there anything else that is reliable?" asked Bai Ye.

You know, the investment in buying a studio will definitely not be less. In particular, he has no low requirements for the studio, and all kinds of basic tools are basic things. If you need to buy special equipment, you will definitely have to pay for it.

In fact, many things are the same, if you just play casually, you won't invest much.

But if you want to play fine and play deep, you will eventually burn money.

In the original time and space, Bai Ye's net worth of hundreds of millions, of which there is 100 million, is the value of the studio.

You can see how expensive this is. Although it is said that there is a poor way to play, rich and rich fun. But the happiness of the rich is simply unimaginable for the poor.

It's hard to go from luxury to simplicity.

"Other...... It's not reliable to say it's reliable, and it's a bit of a way to say it's unreliable. ”

Cao Xiang said softly: "Most of the people who come to the door now are some small and medium-sized art museums, exhibition rooms, and gallerists in Zhonghai, who want to sign a contract with you, but they don't have the ability to promote you." To put it bluntly, they themselves want to borrow your fame to take themselves to the next level. ”

"Wishful thinking, playing very loudly. Shiraba smiled.

Why should an artist sign a contract with a gallery or art museum, isn't it just to seek fame and profit? If a gallery or art museum can't help an artist achieve their goals, who wants to sign a contract?

"Am I stupid in the eyes of others?"

This is Bai Ye's question, why does anyone think that he will do something that puts the cart before the horse?

"Hmm. ”

Cao Xiang confirmed: "Because of Boss Li's matter, you should be ...... in the eyes of others Not very smart. ”

“……”

Bai Ye suddenly had nothing to say.

The pot of the predecessor has to be carried with tears.

"I've already vetoed the offer to sign a contract for you. Cao Xiang continued: "But after the veto, I realized that this was just a temptation. Their real purpose is mainly to work with you. ”

"How to cooperate?" Bai Ye was a little interested.

"They were interested in that sculpture you made at school. ”

Cao Xiang was interrupted by Bai Ye just as he spoke.

"That's not good, I was asked by Dean Deng, and I was going to store it in the college showroom. Bai Ye explained: "This is a good thing, and it is also an honor, and I can't get it back." ”

"I know this, and they know it. ”

Cao Xiang explained: "So the work they want is a different version of the sculpture. Didn't you mention that when you were in the academy studio? That sculpture is best cast in bronze, and the texture is the best......"

"Smack!"

Bai Ye clapped his hands and understood what these people meant.

He ignored it.

You know, in the art industry, there are many versions of some artworks, especially sculptures. Nor can it be said that these versions are copies, as they are basically the work of the creators themselves.

For example, the sculpture of the bird in the sky has at least seven or eight versions in the original plane.

Each version is made by Brancusi himself, and the form in which it is somewhat different.

At the end of the day, when an artist is creating, at each time period, he has new ideas and puts them into practice. So a lot of works of art, very similar in form, belong to a series, and there are a lot of them.

The master is still a little disciplined, and a series of works, with seven or eight versions, is already a lot.

But there are also many artists who, after making a name for themselves with a single work, are in a state of eating their old books, and then unrestrained self-reproduction, making dozens of versions and ruining their reputation.

Drying up and fishing is also one of the chaos in the art industry.

So Bai Ye thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, wait for the studio to be completed, and then study it." ”

"Understood. ”

In this matter, Cao Xiang does not plan to make a proposal.

"Wait for the studio to be ready......"

Bai Ye's fingertips tapped on the table for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Cao Xiang, what do you think of recruiting Chen Daqi into my studio?"

"Huh?"

Cao Xiang was stunned and didn't respond for a long time, this was really an unexpected decision.

Bai Ye said to himself: "Bird in the air, the amount of work is not small, I can do it by myself, it is somewhat difficult." If only an assistant could help me with the burden, it would be much easier and easier. ”

"Chen Daqi still has some strength. The main thing is that we have a good relationship, classmates. I'm so righteous, and now that I'm developed, there's no reason why I shouldn't take care of him, right?"

“……”

Cao Xiang was silent.

He wanted to ask, where did you get your face?
