Chapter 545: Why not

It is understandable to join forces, but for Wang Yao, what is needed is not necessarily a very powerful person, but more needs some peers with dreams and persistence.

As a comic book writer, Stan Lee is successful in both talent and marketing, especially as the president of DC and Marvel, but he still chooses to start his own business, not because he is unwilling to work for others, but because he is unwilling to let his future works embark on a path that he does not want to see.

The work is not a commodity, this is what Mr. Stan Lee insists on, even if he grows up under the influence of capital, he still has his own persistence.

That's why Wang Yao proposed an "acquisition cooperation plan" to Stan Lee, where Wang Yao would contribute money and labor to help Stan Lee accomplish some of the things he wanted to do, and then Stan Lee would be the CEO of the future animation and comics part of Yew Wah Company.

Stan Lee has no talent in management, which does not mean that he does not know how to manage and plan, Wang Yao is equivalent to hiring a CEO for the comics department of Yaohua Meidi to oversee the future development of the company.

"To be honest, if I had to work with Xavi, I'd rather go back to DC. Stan Lee looked at Wang Yao and smiled, "But I really have a strong interest in "Mountains and Seas" and your works, you should know that I would love to create a Chinese-style hero." ”

"It's a pity that if you think about going to our country to settle for two years, it's hard. Wang Yao shrugged.

"After watching "Mountains and Seas", I did dispel this idea, I always thought that Sun Wukong was a Chinese characteristic, but I didn't expect that there are so many different styles and novel settings. Stan Lee nodded, "It's the new world you've brought to the table." ”

"Maybe you don't know much about Huaxia at all. Wang Yao smiled.

"Maybe, after all, yesterday the Grammys also gave the answer. Stan Lee nodded, ""Mountains and Seas" has only constructed one world at present, but the plot doesn't seem to have been laid out yet, can I ask for some spoilers? ”

"I'm sorry, "Mountains and Seas" is a serialized comic that I signed up for, and the author never saves too many manuscripts. Wang Yao pretended to have a headache and smiled.

Stan Li was stunned: "There is no guarantee of manuscript storage, so you are not afraid of stopping the publication or not grasping the direction of the story correctly?"

"I have a lot of faith in that author. Wang Yao smiled.

In addition to the efforts of the author, comics and such works also need some 'small suggestions' from editors, because there are many external factors that need to be considered in published works, and with the editor's judgment of market sensitivity, the value of the work can be maximized.

This is the rule of business culture, so many authors are sometimes influenced in their creation, resulting in opinions about the company, after all, the self-nature of cultural creators is very strong, so famous authors are basically self-reliant, and they don't want their works to be swayed.

Wang Yao actually said that he had such a high trust in the author under him, which made Stan Li a little surprised: "It seems that you are very familiar with this author." ”

"It's ok. Wang Yao smiled, he couldn't tell Stan Lee that he had a 'split personality'.

"It seems that the company has only some of your works other than this one, and there are no other authors?" Stan Lee asked.

"The comics department has just been set up, because Harvey doesn't know anything about it, and I don't have much energy to manage it, so I'm worried, and you're going bankrupt. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"At this point, my bankruptcy seems to have something to do with you. Stan Lee joked.

"It can only be said that it is God's arrangement. Wang Yao said with a smile.

"What can I do, what can you do?" Stan Lee said.

"To ensure that the work sells well, at least don't lose too much, our company does not seek to create a DC or Marvel universe, but wants to create a small world that makes readers feel happy, any type, any reader will come. Wang Yaozheng said, "In our company, commercial value is not the first indicator, nor is artistic value, but it is to make people love it." ”

Stan Lee frowned, "This positioning is very risky and vague." ”

"Yes, so you're the most suitable, aren't you?" Wang Yao smiled, "As for your remuneration, after I discussed it with Harvey, there are three ways, the comics department's share plus a part of the company's share, of course, the company's share will not be too much, the second is the annual salary, you can raise a price, and sign the contract if it is suitable, the third is the basic salary we provide, and then the comics department's share is at your own expense." ”

Stan Lee nodded, "That's a generous condition." ”

"As for the permission, the company only intervenes, as long as it does not touch the law and can be published, but as for the film adaptation, we will consider it as appropriate. Wang Yao said, "You should know that the other two parties that the company cooperates with are Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg's DreamWorks, and Pixar, in terms of comics, you are definitely professional, but in terms of movies, we may be more professional, of course, we will give priority to respecting the author's opinion." ”

"So, it's still business-oriented?" Stan Lee frowned.

"Of course, no one is stupid enough not to make money. Wang Yao smiled, "But we won't make money for the sake of making money, we are a distant company with dreams." ”

"The culture of this company is good, you name it, I believe it, but Harvey, with all due respect. Stan Lee laughed.

"Xavi has a lot of dreams, too. Wang Yao smiled: "Don't you think?"

Stan Lee shrugged, "I want to think about it." ”

Wang Yao nodded, and took out his business card from his sleeve, "Welcome to call at any time." ”

"By the way, if I agree, can you help me create a true Huaxia-style hero?" Stan Lee asked, taking his business card.

Wang Yao thought for a while, "I can only say do your best, because in our culture, heroes are the praise of the ordinary majority who work hard to live, that is, the great people." ”

"There's a lot of this kind of nonsense in press releases. Stan Lee laughed.

"The people are suffering, and the people are suffering. Wang Yao muttered softly.

Stan Lee was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Then I'll go first." ”

Wang Yao got up to send him off.

The moment the elevator door closed, Stan Lee smiled and waved his hand, "Your heroes are funny. ”

Wang Yao also smiled and waved his hand, touched his chin, and thought to himself that this old man who was almost eighty years old really didn't look like a twilight on his body, but was full of vigor like a young man, and it must be very interesting to work with such a person.

Both are engaged in comic creation, and both are top masters in the industry, Stan Lee and Miyazaki have similarities, but they have very different feelings, in addition to cultural influences, there may also be differences in pursuit.

Stan Lee has a 'loose' temperament, while Miyazaki has a 'tight' temperament.

This is the special temperament of the master.

But in himself, although the skills in the system have broken through to the realm of masters, but in his own pen, whether it is calligraphy or painting, Wang Yao has not found this temperament, except for a few bursts of inspiration.

The article is made by nature, and the magic hand is even good. If it is pure and flawless, it will no longer require manpower.

These are some of Wang Yao's recent thoughts on creation.

"What do you want?" said Donnie Robert Jr. yawned and walked to the sofa next to Wang Yao.

"If your fans see their male god so haggard, they will definitely be disappointed. Wang Yao turned his head to look at the somewhat sloppy little Donnie Robert and smiled.

"Who cares about them. Donnie Robert Jr. shrugged his shoulders, pulled out a fine snuffbox from his pocket, and took a deep breath with a look of intoxication.

"Dude, you can easily be arrested with this expression. Wang Yao frowned and smiled.

"Although there are no drugs, I don't know why, but I am even more obsessed. Donnie Robert Jr. exclaimed, "What the hell did you put in there?"

"Good stuff. Wang Yao smiled, "If you think it's good, you can introduce it to your 'drug friends'." ”

"I can't do that until I'm sure they're harmless. Donnie Robert Jr. laughed.

"It's better than taking drugs. Wang Yao smiled, "Although I know that this is your pastime, but it is inevitable that the space is empty, isn't it? You yourself are people standing on the top of the pyramid, and there are many things that can be achieved." ”

"Like saving the world?" laughed Donnie Robert Jr.

"I can give you the means if you want. Wang Yao said with a smile.

Donnie Robert Jr. was stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Yao's serious expression, "Dude, your humor is really not enough." ”

"I mean really. Wang Yao gave him a blank look: "I invest in charity in our country. ”

"I also donate a lot of money every year. Donnie Robert Jr. said.

"Donating money is not a rescue, it can only be said to be help, and the problems that can be solved with money are not called problems, haven't you heard of it?" Wang Yao said with a smile. ”

Donnie Robert Jr.'s pupils shrank, "It's kind of interesting, that's what you said about saving the world?"

"I've calculated the probability of a high probability of labor division and the probability of training, 10 percent of the people hold 30 percent of the world's wealth, and the remaining 70 percent flow in the middle and low classes, but the number is interesting, the 60 richest people in the world at the moment are equivalent to the wealth of 3.5 billion people in the low class. Wang Yao smiled: "Do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't understand, but I understand, the world is like this. Donnie Robert Jr. yawned, "And the poor wanted to touch the rich people's money, and most of them were sent to prison, and the rest were sent to the grave." ”

"The value of labor will change, and since industrialization, the growth rate of the world's total wealth has been exponential. Wang Yao said.

"That's the course of the times, do you want to create an era?" Donnie Robert Jr. pouted.

"Why not?" said Wang Yao.

Donnie Robert Jr. was stunned.
