Chapter 288: Transformation
"Just a few people?" asked Yuan Guobin in a low voice. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Don't underestimate these people, my dad and my mom don't want to come to the United States anymore, I'm not an adult, I have to sign a contract with a guardian, and these novels and animations often have to be negotiated many times, so I put all the intellectual property in Io Studios. Li Mo said.
In his mind, the value of Studio Io is far greater than that of Yile and Veldek combined.
Not to mention the soul of the two companies, not to mention the derivative value, even if it is a direct value, Io Studio is far above Yile.
Because in addition to the manuscript fee income of novels and animations, there are also film copyrights and film investment rights, which are also given to Io Studios. How much box office will these films make?
But that's all there is to it for now.
I don't need too many people, what I'm doing right now is nothing more than drawing comics, but which cartoons and movies are not released and must not be published, so there is no such urgency. The drawing still has to be drawn, let them draw dozens of comics one after another according to the outline given by Li Mo, and Li Mo will review it later. After all, the actual time, some of which have passed for a long time, Li Mo's memory is slightly blurred, and with these cartoons, Li Mo's vague memories have awakened. He then corrected it, and when it was finalized, it was archived forever.
It's not just these few people, there are more than a dozen lawyers, but they belong to Hao Lick and Xie Fuman's subordinates, and they are not only responsible for the intellectual property negotiations of Io Studio, but also responsible for the negotiation of some other businesses for Li Mo, including several funds, and by the way, continue to collect all kinds of relevant information and intelligence for Li Mo.
It's these dozen lawyers who are really busy, but this busyness is worth it, the salary is high, every two or three years, as long as the venture capital dividends, they will get a lot of big red envelopes, not to mention any loyalty, but with income, loyalty will also be there, at least let them do their best.
Several otaku came over to greet Li Mo one by one.
Comic book workers, most of them are like this, and Li Mo also hugged them politely.
Sit down, everybody.
Hollick took a contract from upstairs and rented a total of three floors, as well as two fund offices, as well as Hollick's office.
However, adding everyone together, there are not many people, and the entire three floors are empty, so that a few people who have not started a family simply find a few empty houses with a few security guards and sleep here at night.
Li Mo handed the contract to Jovovich: "Immediately, the manager of the Angel Economist Company under the Tang Fund, Liang Shushui is coming from San Francisco, you see, if there is anything dissatisfied, please bring it up, if you are satisfied, you will sign a contract with him." ”
The husband and wife looked carefully, strictly speaking, before signing this contract, they should also ask a lawyer to come and review it in case there are traps in the contract.
But does Li Mo care how much benefit he gets from celebrities?
After the husband and wife looked at it, Mira's mother Jialina said in disbelief: "So loose?"
These conditions are simple and too favorable, including the commission of economic companies, and they are also frighteningly low.
"Manager Liu's idea is to make a little money, and my idea is to be the star of my own economic company, which is convenient to use. If I want to make money, I have a way, why squeeze the artists in my company's name? You should have inquired about my situation, and you should also know my reputation in the eyes of my collaborators. ”
"Thank you, thank you. Jia Lina kissed Li Mo on the face in front of her husband.
Yuan Guobin was a little stunned.
This is the etiquette of foreigners, and it is not a kiss, Li Mo doesn't care, he said: "It seems that you have no objections." ”
"No, these conditions are too generous, and we will have objections. ”
"Alright, Mira, come here. ”
Mira walked over, and Li Mo looked at her in a boyish manner, seeing that she was a little embarrassed. Her parents were not displeased, because Li Mo's eyes were very clear, in fact, even if Li Mo had any evil intentions, they were probably also very conflicted in their hearts, at most worried that their daughter was a little younger......
Li Mo said, "Mira, do you know what the biggest flaw in your face is?"
Mira shook her head.
"The chin is a little bigger, the face is a little narrower, and besides, the forehead is too wide. Therefore, the hairstyle will become very important for you, no matter what hairstyle, you should not leave all the doors of your head exposed, and you should also have a little hair in front of your ears. In this way, you can hide the imperfections of your face......"
Also, as Li Mo said, the body has not grown, and the face has not grown.
It wasn't until she starred in "Joan of Arc" and "The Fifth Element" that she became good-looking.
In addition, there is another disadvantage, that is, poor milk, not too poor, medium milk, just right to be a model, but compared to some other foreign women, this breast is indeed a little small.
"Also, it's your eyebrows that are messy and must be repaired," Li Mo suddenly thought of a scene in "Resident Evil" 2, at that time, it was not the yellow eyebrows on the top, but still the yellow eyebrows below. Below, Li Mo can't say, above, Li Mo must transform her.
"You sit down. ”
Li Mo asked Hao Like to bring a colored pen, and at this time, his painting cannot be called art, but it can be called realistic.
He was painting and revising at the same time, of course, Mira's long wavy hair could not be kept either, it was too incompatible with her face shape, it was still short hair, not too short, just shoulder-length, and the eyebrows also made Li Mo make some changes in the drawing.
"So be it. Li Mo handed the sketch to Mila: "After signing the contract, immediately go to San Francisco Yili with Manager Liang for training, and then take it and let the stylists dress you up." The day after tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and then I will go back to Los Angeles and be my female companion. ”
"Okay. Mira carefully folded it and placed it in her mother's bag.
"Li Mo, you can transform it for me. The little fat man said.
"Du Zhengwei, she will soon become an artist under the name of my brokerage company, she needs to dress up, why are you dressing up? Are you dressed handsome, and come to Yili to hook up with my female model?" Li Mo quipped.
The little fat man glanced at Xie Yuhe weakly, and said, "Li Mo, don't talk nonsense, I don't have this mind, you have to introduce, introduce Yuan Guobin." ”
"Oh, Yuan Guobin, have you become interested in my modeling?"
"Nonsense. ”
After making a joke, Li Mo took out a copy of the manuscript from his briefcase.
Some heads really can't be opened, such as smoking, sucking and sucking, and it is difficult to quit again.
Such as shameless......
Li Mo was still very subtle at first, but his head had already opened, and the word implicit was gradually thrown into Java.
Shameless starts with cartoons.
Li Mo took out a story outline, animated images, and the beginning of the cartoon, including "Brave Legend", which he only watched a small part of, as well as "Zootopia", "Mind Squad", "Monsters University", "Flying House Travel", "Super Marines", "Monsters", "Robot Story", "Moana", "Pet Secret". In fact, it is the same as "Brave Legend", he watched a small part, and then read the introduction in Du Niang, and then it was gone.
Others, such as "Crazy Primitives", "Food", etc., he also knows that these cartoons are very popular, but they don't respond at all, and he really has no way to plagiarize.
But mostly, in the past few years, he remembered a little, so he recorded a little, and the storyline was relatively perfect.
Li Mo said: "Everyone, I have more and more affairs in my hands, and I have to be distracted from studying, although I have some inspiration, I don't have much time to think about it, these are all approximate materials, I will hand them over to you, and you will further improve them." The rest is the same as before. ”
Li Mo is referring to the fact that he will continue to invite many people to come and ask them to paint all kinds of similar portraits, write all kinds of similar stories, and register the copyright and portrait rights of the stories.
But this time it will be of some help to Io Studio, although it is to invite someone to come over and write all kinds of similar storylines, but because Li Mo can't write these storylines clearly, he needs a few otaku from Io Studio to perfect, so some inspiration from other people may be helpful to them. In the end, even if the storylines of these animations are different from Li Mo's previous life, they will not be far behind.
Li Mo said again: "Hao Like, invite eight more cartoonists to come over." ”
If so, it's a lot of work.
Many of these animations are single-episode stories for many reasons, and some are limited to the storyline and cannot develop sequels. Some are for other reasons, and no sequel was filmed...... The key reason is the support of funds, does Li Mo lack funds? Not to mention that it is more of a money-making animation, even if it doesn't make money, Li Mo will not care, because derivatives income is the big one.
With this condition, these sequels, or sequels of sequels, can be launched.
But these excellent animations are not thought up once and for all, nor can they be figured out by one person, once the storylines of these animations are perfected together, and the comics are also drawn, and finally finalized, next, you can discuss and prepare the sequels of these animations, or the sequels after the sequels, in order to make the best use of these big IPs.
Even if you invite eight more cartoonists to come, you will be busy in the next few years, or even more than ten years.
Several otaku looked at these drafts and shouted: "BOSS, do you want to monopolize the Hollywood animation market in the future?"
"Monopoly? That's impossible, even if computer technology develops in the future, the cost of producing these animations will be staggering, so we can only register all kinds of copyrights first, so that other film companies don't have the opportunity to take advantage of them, and launch them year by year. At the same time, we can't underestimate the heroes of the world, and various film companies also have talents. They also put out some excellent cartoons. However, there is one thing, with the maturity of computer technology, the animation market will also become larger and larger, including various animated film blockbusters. ”
However, if Li Mo does this, various Hollywood film companies will not be angry, because Li Mo is more "easy to talk", and his heart is not greedy, and he has no plans to open a film company. I really can't think of it, just come to talk about cooperation.
The group continued to discuss the cartoons.
Li Mo made some additional explanations.
He attaches great importance to these cartoons, such as "Cars", the box office of the three movies is more than a billion dollars, but the derivatives are terrible, and the whole is four billion dollars. After Li Mo's promotion, it may come out a little earlier, and it can be used well, and I believe that the total value can also reach three billion US dollars. In addition to the box office, he can't get the lion's share, and the lion's share of the derivatives will be obtained by the two toy companies under his name.
Even after the new century, how many companies and factories in China will have an annual net profit of $100 million?
Liang Shushui flew from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
He looked at Miela and asked suspiciously, "Boss, is this little girl you recommend?"
"That's her. ”
"BOSS, there's a beautiful little girl out there, why did you choose her?"
Not to mention anything else, even those who stayed in Yili for further training, the two dozen or so carefully selected female models were all better looking than Mila. Not to mention age, when you are young, there is no difference between beauty and ugliness in appearance?
"What are you talking about?" asked Mira.
"We're speaking Chinese," Li Mo patted her on the head, "Jialina, show him the drawing I just made." ”
Galina pulled out the drawing.
"Huh......"
"There are some small flaws in the contour of her face, but a little modification can cover her flaws, and besides, her face has not grown yet, and once it grows, it will be the same again," Li Mo said in English again: "Jialina, you can take out the two drawings I just drew again." ”
Jialina is a little uneasy, the conditions are very generous, but what if people don't look down on their daughter?
Liang Shushui looked at these two drawings: "Can she look like this in the future?"
"Based on the changes in her face shape in the past two years, I surmised that the longer her face shape will be, the better. Don't look at the fact that there are some dolls in the United States, but when they grow up, they will become miserable again. Also, you look at her legs and her breasts ......"
