Chapter 327: Eating is ugly
At noon the next day, Xiangjiang Hotel.
In the most luxurious box No. 1, Luo Kai and Duan Hongrui met the deputy director of the children's channel of Hunan Satellite TV.
This Director Yuan is in his forties, with an ordinary appearance, tall and thin, wearing glasses and politeness, and his smiling appearance is quite approachable.
When he saw Luo Kai, he expressed his admiration very warmly, and then immediately introduced Luo Kai to the people who came with him.
"Mr. Luo, let me introduce you to..."
There were three other people who came with him, and Director Yuan first introduced a young man in his early twenties: "This is Mr. Shao, the general manager of Xiangyi Media!"
Luo Kai's eyes flashed, and he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to the other party: "Hello Mr. Shao." ”
He hadn't heard the name of Xiangyi Media, but Director Yuan's attitude towards the general manager was very respectful, and even had a stammering taste, and his origin must be extraordinary.
So Luo Kai didn't have the idea of contempt because of the other party's youth.
Mr. Shao showed a faint smile and shook Luo Kai's hand a little casually: "Hmm." ”
Duan Hongrui, who was standing on the side, flashed a look of displeasure in his eyes.
This Mr. Shao didn't know where he came from, and his attitude was quite arrogant, and when he contacted Director Yuan yesterday, the latter didn't mention it at all, it felt like he was ambushed, which caught people off guard.
But Duan Hongrui has a lot of experience, and he doesn't show any emotion on the surface, and he still smiles.
In addition to this very powerful Mr. Shao, there is also a beautiful and bewitching woman, a middle-aged man in his thirties with a shrewd face.
The identity of the beautiful woman is the assistant of President Shao, and the middle-aged man is the vice president of Xiangyi Media.
After the greetings, everyone took their seats.
Originally, Luo Kai and Duan Hongrui invited Director Yuan, but Mr. Shao, who suddenly appeared, took the main position, and ordered the waiter to order a few dishes of wine and food.
Director Yuan smiled and said to Luo Kai: "Shao is always a frequent visitor here, and what he ordered must be right." ”
Mr. Shao dropped the menu, pouted and said: "Since the change of chef, I haven't been here for a while, the dishes made by the previous master are the most authentic, and now..."
He shook his head, a look of disdain.
Luo Kai smiled.
The other party's speech and demeanor made him easily think of a special group, some of the people in this group have a strong ability to succeed and a stronger ability to defeat things, and some are not enough to achieve things and have more than enough failures, but most of them are not easy to provoke.
Although Luo Kai didn't know how to attract this character, he knew very well that if he wanted to get things done this time, he had to pass the other party first.
The waiter brought the wine first, and Luo Kai asked her to open a bottle of red wine and pour a glass for Mr. Shao himself.
"Mr. Shao, it's an honor to meet you for the first time, and I toast you. ”
This Mr. Shao was a lot more polite, he showed a rather enthusiastic smile, and had a toast with Luo Kai: "It's easy to say." ”
After a glass of red wine was dried, the conversation box of the young Mr. Shao was opened, he found a topic at random, and chatted with Luo Kai about interesting anecdotes in the entertainment industry.
Coupled with Director Yuan next to him, Duan Hongrui also praised a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere during the banquet was quite harmonious.
After three rounds of drinking, Mr. Shao, who was in the stomach with a bottle of red wine, was a little drunk, and he said with a slight drunkenness: "I heard that you are asking Lao Yuan for help and want to broadcast the self-made cartoon on the children's channel of Hunan Satellite TV?"
As soon as he heard the topic, Duan Hongrui hurriedly replied: "Yes, Mr. Shao." ”
Mr. Shao glanced at Duan Hongrui and asked Luo Kai, "Have you applied for the subsidy?"
Luo Kai shook his head and said: "No, the scale of our company is very small, it has just been established, and the qualifications for application are not yet met. ”
In the past, in order to revitalize domestic animation, the national cultural department formulated relevant policies to vigorously support the industry and invested considerable funds.
Later, it turned out that there were considerable problems with this policy, although it greatly promoted the development of the industry, but countless shoddy animation works were rampant on the screen, and a large number of support funds were defrauded and supplemented, resulting in chaos.
In the past two years, the relevant state departments have rectified this and formulated strict rules, which has dealt a heavy blow to the deformed development of domestic animation, and many production companies have gone bankrupt and closed down.
Now if you want to apply for policy subsidies for making cartoons, the difficulty is not at all what an animation studio can hope for in early summer, so Luo Kai didn't think about how much money he could get back from this aspect at the beginning.
It's in vain to think about it.
"Hmm..."
Mr. Shao smiled slightly, raised his glass and said: "It's not easy to do this business now, Mr. Luo's courage is commendable." ”
Among the people present, he should be the youngest, but he is old-fashioned.
Luo Kai quietly toasted with Mr. Shao.
But I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd, so I can only wait and see what happens.
He vaguely felt that there might be a lot of trouble in this matter.
Surprisingly, Mr. Shao did not show any more words, but continued to talk to Luo Kai about the ups and downs in the entertainment industry, as if he came to chat with Luo Kai today.
After the second bottle of red wine was dry, he finally stopped talking, waved his hand and said, "It's almost, let's talk to Mr. Luo about it today, and we will talk about it again when we have a chance in the future." ”
After saying that, he actually got up and left.
Luo Kai and Duan Hongrui were very surprised, but they couldn't stop each other from leaving, so they politely said goodbye to him.
Mr. Shao and his female secretary left, but the vice president surnamed Zhao stayed.
Director Yuan smiled and asked the waiter to remove the leftovers on the wine table and let her replace the tea.
There is no doubt that now is the time to really talk.
Director Yuan said straight to the point: "Mr. Luo, Manager Duan, I have seen the cartoons made by your company, the script story and creative ideas are quite good, and the quality of the production is also remarkable, I am personally more optimistic." ”
After a pause, his words changed: "But..."
But he is only the deputy director of the program department of the children's channel, and there is no problem with recommendation, and he has no power to make decisions.
Hunan Provincial Satellite TV is a well-known golden signboard, and the ratings of its children's channel are second only to CCTV's same type of channel, because it is not short of program resources at all, and there are many domestic animations that are sent for review every year, and the competition can be said to be very fierce.
You must know that broadcasting on satellite TV is an important prerequisite for applying for policy subsidies!
And in this regard, the competitiveness of early summer animation is weak.
In other words, there is no one in the DPRK and China, and there is no strong network in Hunan Satellite TV, how can it stand out?
As for Director Yuan himself, he and Duan Hongrui also met for the first time.
This Director Yuan spoke very thoroughly, analyzed the inside story to the point, and basically did not have much of an element of foolishness, so that Luo Kai and Duan Hongrui had nothing to say.
For such a situation, the two actually expected it.
But Director Yuan made a suggestion: "If you want to broadcast this cartoon on our satellite TV station, there is a good opportunity right now." ”
The opportunity he said was the vice president surnamed Zhao, who had not spoken all the time, or more precisely, the Xiangyi Media represented by the latter.
The dinner didn't end until just after one o'clock in the afternoon.
After sending Director Yuan and the vice president of Xiangyi Media away, Luo Kai asked Duan Hongrui: "What do you think?"
Just now, the vice president surnamed Zhao proposed to cooperate with Luo Kai, and Xiangyi Media took a stake in Chuxia Animation, and then Xiangyi Media came forward to negotiate with Xiangxing Satellite TV to ensure that "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" can land on the screen of this first local satellite TV station in China.
The conditions offered by Xiangyi Media cannot be said to be completely insincere, they invested 5 million, in addition to ensuring that "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" will be on the star, they also guarantee that this cartoon can get policy subsidies!
What early summer animation is not capable of accomplishing, they are responsible for it.
Duan Hongrui was obviously quite tempted: "The conditions are okay, but the shares they ask for are too high." ”
Xiangyi Media asked for a 40% stake in Early Summer Animation.
Luo Kai hehehe.
It is normal for Duan Hongrui to move, because his value judgment of the cartoon "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is very different from Luo Kai.
In Luo Kai's view, the face exposed by Xiangyi Media is too greedy, and the appearance is also very ugly!
The shares demanded by the other party, let alone 40%, even 4%, he will definitely not agree.
