Saturday, April 22, afternoon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, "Once Upon a Time" has only been released for four or five days, and it is when all major theaters across the country have swept everything and have no opponents at all, and it is also the time when this movie is hotly discussed on the Internet and newspapers.

At this time, in a high-end Western restaurant in Songjiang Mansion, Li Qiankut sat in his seat and had been waiting for a full hour.

The people who were waiting haven't come yet.

Sun Yuting walked back and said, "Why don't you order something to eat first?"

Li Qian shook his head.

Sun Yuting couldn't help frowning and complaining, "These people are too faceless! It's another thing if the business is negotiated or not, if you say you have a meal together, what if you don't come to the point!"

Li Qian shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll wait a while." Brother Cao didn't call yet, it meant that there should be other circumstances, not that the other party deliberately released the pigeons. ”

Sun Yuting looked at him, sighed, wanted to leave, stopped again, and asked: "Do you really like it so much, so much do you want to buy this Jiangnan animation?

Li Qian nodded, "If you can't do it well, you have to learn to do it well! Buy Jiangnan Animation, we can avoid some detours and get out of the way as soon as possible." ”

After a pause, he explained: "The more people grow up and understand more, the more difficult it is to communicate, but when they are children, when they don't understand anything, there is actually no so-called language barrier, cultural barrier, skin color discrimination, social influence, etc., everyone is a child, a blank piece of paper, what I see for you, what will be stored in your mind! Chinese films want to go global, work against Hollywood blockbusters, and even spread Chinese culture, and there is no hope of winning the battle head-on within ten years, but what about ten years later? It depends on how much homework we've done now. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled, "Therefore, we must come up with good animation stories that can be liked by all children in the world, so that they can leave a 'Chinese concept' in their hearts from an early age, so that they can not accept Chinese culture, but at least have a certain amount of favorability, not to resist or dislike it." If we do it one day earlier, we can influence a generation earlier, so ...... Demand immediate action. ”

Sun Yuting thought for a while when she heard this, and shrugged, "I know, it seems that your so-called winning battle is definitely not competing with Hollywood films at the box office in China, right?"

Li Qian smiled, "When it comes to going to North America to compete with others for the box office, you think too highly of yourself, not to mention that ten or twenty years later, our original Chinese movies may not be able to sell well in North America, but if you want to fight for the box office in China, even if you win, you are just a frog in the well of Yelang's arrogance......! I hope that in ten years, our Chinese films will compete head-to-head with Hollywood films, and at least we will be able to win or lose, so that we will not be completely beaten and have no power to fight back. ”

Sun Yuting looked at him seriously, and after a moment, she muttered and walked away.

Li Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard that mutter.

Because, what she said was, "It's so ambitious!"

…………

More than twenty minutes passed, and the man finally came.

Sun Yuting was guarding a booth outside, and saw Cao Zhan push open the door and come in, followed by a man and a woman, and hurriedly greeted Li Qian, and then got up first to greet him.

Li Qian then also stood up, smiling and waiting for the other party to come over.

It's already past lunch, and there are only a few tables left in the restaurant.

The two people who came, a man and a woman, had a somewhat similar appearance, because they had done their homework in advance, so Li Qian knew that they were not only a father and daughter, but in fact, they were also the real people and the largest shareholders of Jiangnan Animation Company.

Ma Aikui, and his daughter, Ma Yuan.

Both father and daughter are typical southerners and look delicate.

According to Li Qian, they should all come directly from the company, and they didn't have time or heart to change any clothes, but although they were just dressed casually, they were all cleaned up.

At first glance, he is the kind of person who pays attention to exquisite details.

Ma Aikui is the third generation of animators in China, his father founded Jiangnan Animation, in his hands to develop to the nineties, has gathered a large number of senior talents, if the domestic animation is exquisite, exquisite, it is none other than Jiangnan Animation.

It's a pity that animation is too expensive.

The characteristic of this thing is that he is not an idealist, not a person who is willing to study with his heart, and he can't do it well, but a pure idealist, if he does something well, he may not make money.

Today, Gangnam Animation is dying.

But the problem comes again, if it is a businessman's thinking, a company that only invests without returning and always loses money, where is there any ideal that is not ideal, it has already found a way to sell it, but the idealist, the person who loves this, he can just stand up to death and resolutely not sell!

Ma Aikui is the biggest problem in front of Li Qian.

Everyone shook hands and took their seats.

This is the meeting that Li Qian has been waiting for for more than three days after coming to Songjiang Mansion.

After taking a seat, Sun Yuting beckoned the waiter to come over, and everyone ordered one after another, and then, Sun Yuting went to the seat next to her and ordered herself.

At this time, before Li Qian could speak, Ma Yuan, who was sitting opposite the side, took out a box of CDs from his bag, handed them over with a pen, and looked like a nymphomaniac looking at an idol, "Sect Master, can you sign me before you eat and talk about things?"

Her Mandarin has a little Wu Nong's soft accent, but it sounds good.

Li Qian smiled, took the CD and pen, opened the box, and signed his name on the CD, and then buckled the box, put away the pen, handed it over together, and asked with a smile: "Like this album?"

This is Li Qian's solo album in the first half of last year, "Jiangnan".

Ma Yuan smiled and nodded, "Actually, I also like rock, but I asked Brother Cao to sign me for the rock album." ”

Li Qian smiled, very happy in his heart, and felt that this might be a good start.

But soon, Ma Yuan put away the CD and pen, put them in her bag, put her smile away immediately, and sat there with her head down, as if she couldn't see Li Qian.

Li Qian's eyes rolled, and just as he was about to speak, Ma Aikui had already taken the initiative to speak: "Mr. Li, thank you for investing money again, and you came here in person! I know you want to buy our company, but I still say that, give me a few more months! After a few months, if we finish this work, it still doesn't work, or we still have to go out of business, I will definitely sell it to you, okay?"

Li Qian smiled, he had rehearsed the conversation that might happen today in his heart I don't know how many times.

Hearing this at this time, he said: "Mr. Ma, have you watched "Huang Feihong"?"

Ma Aikui shook his head when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "I don't have time or heart to watch it! But since Mr. Li said it, I will definitely watch it when I look back, Mr. Li's movie must be very good!"

Li Qian smiled, not moved by his few words of praise, but still followed his established steps, and said slowly: "How to turn the story into animation and present it, you are an expert!" But how to tell a good story, and how to ensure that this story can be liked by everyone, I am an expert!"

Ma Aikui frowned slightly when he heard this, smiled reluctantly, and said: "That's, that's! "My Savage Girlfriend" sold more than 100 million, right? "The Legend of the New White Lady" and "Huanzhu Gege", our whole family also likes it, and Mr. Li is indeed a master of storytelling!

Li Qian responded: "But now, I want to sell the stories I tell to Europe and the United States, but Americans don't like to read my stories!" The domestic box office is 150 million, the box office in Southeast Asia is close to 70 million, Japan is 72 million, South Korea is 31 million, together, more than 320 million, equivalent to 160 million US dollars, but the distribution in North America is a buyout, only sold 3 million US dollars, as far as I know, this year's Valentine's Day schedule was released, and it was offline after less than 20 days, and the total box office did not exceed 10 million US dollars. ”

Ma Aikui didn't seem to understand what Li Qian wanted to say, and looked over with a frown.

Li Qian said: "There is a big gap between Chinese and Western cultures, and it is not easy to do a good job of Chinese culture, send it out, and let foreigners pay for Chinese culture!"

Ma Aikui's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of what Li Qian was going to say.

At this time, Li Qian turned his head to look at Cao Zhan sitting next to him, and said: "Brother Cao is not short of money, I am not short of money, I won't hide it from you Mr. Ma, there are more than a billion people in China, but if I want to be more relaxed, there is no need to toss anything, one movie and one album a year, I can make a lot of money." Brother Cao doesn't even have to earn money, what he has at home is money. However, you have also seen that Brother Cao ran again and again for this matter, and deigned to our Minghu culture to give me a hand, why?"

Hearing this, Ma Aikui probably fully understood what Li Qian meant, but he didn't interrupt, but listened carefully, with a serious face.

Li Qian said unhurriedly: "We are all doing this! Mr. Ma, I want to ask you, watching foreign cartoons being sold to China, every TV station has and will show foreign cartoons, look at other people's foreign cartoons, make movies, and come to China to make a lot of money at the box office, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Ma Aikui still didn't speak.

But Li Qian ignored him, and still continued: "Brother Cao and I, we are both people who are not short of money, in order to make money, we will not work hard, at least we will not make ourselves so tired, we can easily earn money by lying down." But for the sake of ideals, in order to send Chinese culture, Chinese films and Chinese animated films abroad, I, Brother Cao, we can forget to sleep and eat. ”

Hearing this, Ma Aikui took a deep breath and seemed to speak.

But it was at this time that the waiter came to serve the meal.

The atmosphere was interrupted all at once.

Li Qian was a little depressed.

But after thinking about it, he still looked relaxed, and when the side dishes and main meal came up one after another, he smiled and signaled, "Everyone is hungry, please, let's go! No matter how big the ideal is, you have to eat first!"

So, eat.

When the meal was almost finished, everyone wiped their mouths, Li Qian picked up the cup and drank two sips of lemonade, before slowly opening the conversation again, "I said so much just now, Mr. Ma didn't have a stubble, in fact, I mean one, I want to make Chinese animation into movies, good-looking movies, and then sell them all over the world, so that European, American, and Japanese children can also grow up watching our Chinese cartoons and animated films from an early age! Cultural export starts with children!" And to do this, I need the help of a group of China's top masters, such as Mr. Ma, and this Jiangnan animation in your hands. ”

Hearing this, Ma Aikui sighed, looking like he wanted to speak.

At this time, Cao Zhan spoke, "Brother, you have also seen and heard Qian'er's intentions, what does it mean, that's what it means! Whether it's acquisition or cooperation, in fact, our goal is the same, we are all doing a good job in animation! To shock the world! It's just that your brother is a technical maniac, but he is not good at controlling the general direction, and he has never had a good story! In short, you are suitable for making things with you, but what to do, what to make, how to sell after making, you can't do it!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Qian and said, "But Qian'er is good at everything you are not good at! Now, Qian'er, I, you, let's do it together!"

Ma Aikui took another deep breath, his face full of confusion.

After a pause, he raised his head, looked at Li Qian seriously, and said, "Mr. Li, do you think this will work? What you mean, what Teacher Cao means, I understand, you give me two days, I'll go back and ask for everyone's opinions, and then give you the answer, okay?"

At this moment, without waiting for Li Qian to speak, Ma Yuan, who had been shrinking to the side and only caring about eating and drinking, suddenly raised his head and said, "Dad, don't be so troublesome!"

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Li Qian, the appearance of the fan girl just now had long since disappeared, and at this moment, her face was extremely serious, and she said: " First, give a suitable price, second, this thing we are doing, is my father, and my grandfather Hong, they are very important, even if the acquisition is completed, the contract must also be indicated, this thing, you have to give money, let us finish; third, we do not go to Shuntianfu, we want to stay in Songjiang, fourth, even if we are acquired, we must exist as an independent company, in addition to the financial aspects you can send people to take care of, other things, we ask for autonomy!"

Speaking of which, she concluded: "That's our condition. ”

Li Qian looked at Ma Aikui and then at her.

Ma Yuan turned his head to Ma Aikui, who was a little surprised, and said: "Grandpa Hong said that the voting rights of his shares are in his sole discretion!"

Ma Aikui showed a look of sudden realization.

Since it is to be acquired, Li Qian has of course made some efforts to understand the shareholding structure of Jiangnan Animation, and the shares of the Ma family plus the shares of Mr. Hong are close to 60%!

So Li Qian knows that success or failure is at this moment.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the last person in the Ma family to stand up was actually a girl like Ma Yuan!

But at this time, he didn't care about thinking about anything else, Li Qian looked at her, also very serious, and asked, "What kind of autonomy do you want?"

Ma Yuan replied: "Retain our internal structure and personnel relations, and do not lay off employees!" And the future personnel and management must be handed over to the company's management. ”

Li Qian smiled when he heard this, "Layoffs?"

After a pause, in the worried and doubtful eyes of the father and daughter opposite, Li Qian smiled and said: "Instead of laying off employees, we will recruit people on a large scale! The parent Baishan animation in the northeast has been wholly acquired by us, and is currently moving to Shuntianfu for rectification and rectification, as long as the acquisition is completed here, the entire Changbai Mountain animation will also be completely merged! So, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you only stick to the previous little territory, how can you do it?"

Ma Yuan was speechless and turned her head to look at Ma Aikui.

Ma Aikui thought for a while and asked, "You also bought the animation of Changbai Mountain?"

Li Qian nodded, "I know that Jiangnan Animation has a group of extremely high-level animators, but you have been unable to make ends meet for so many years, and your foundation is still too thin, and the two animations have to merge, and the merger is not enough, and you have to recruit people again......! If you agree to be acquired, and you are willing to work with me to do something that you didn't dare to think about before, or that you couldn't do if you thought about it, then let go of all the things you used to have, okay?"

Speaking of this, he added: "The assets of Songjiang Mansion can be retained as they are, and the personnel can also retain some basic constructions. But you, Mr. Ma, and at least two-thirds of the company's backbone, must go to Shuntianfu with me to support the entire Minghu animation shelf for me!"

Ma Aikui's eyes narrowed when he heard this, "Minghu animation?"

Li Qian smiled, nodded, pointed to Cao Zhan beside him, and said: "Yes, Minghu Animation! This company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Minghu Culture, Brother Cao will be the general manager of Minghu Animation, and you, Mr. Ma, will be the art director and be responsible for the entire art department." ”

Ma Aikui seemed to react suddenly, and couldn't help but say, "So, you are actually the one who wants to buy us?"

Li Qian laughed when he heard this, "That's true! Talents, especially talents like Mr. Ma, are the most valuable in my heart!"

Speaking of this, Li Qian thought for a while and said: "So, after the acquisition is completed, the label of Jiangnan Animation can still be retained, but you have to work in Minghu Animation, and in the future, Minghu Animation will be responsible for making animated films, and Jiangnan Animation will be responsible for making TV cartoons and talent training." ”

On the other side of the table, the father and daughter of the Ma family glanced at each other, and then Ma Aikui said, "Mr. Li, we will give you an answer tomorrow, is it okay?"

Li Qian smiled, stood up, and stretched out his hand, "Of course you can!"
