Chapter 39: The Blizzard and Colombia (2)
"Is it Hideaki Anno of the GAINAX Club and Yasuhiro Takeda?"
Just as Hideaki Anno and Yasuhiro Takeda were standing at the door of the Hibiscus Society and sighing, someone behind them suddenly called out their names. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The person who spoke was naturally Miyahara Jing, he just came to the Hibiscus Society, and saw two people standing at the door, as if they were judging the Hibiscus Society, and after carefully identifying the identities of the two, he asked tentatively.
Miyahara Jing didn't know these two people, but vaguely remembered that he had seen a photo of Hideaki Anno on the Internet in his previous life, although he didn't remember exactly what his face looked like, but he remembered a certain feature of Anno: a pair of quite attractive ears.
In addition, Miyahara Shizun had already learned that the representatives of G Company who came to discuss EVA planning and investment matters were Hideaki Anno and Yasuhiro Takeda, so she naturally made such a guess.
Today, the day after receiving the good news from Animedia, it also happened to be the weekend, and it was the day when the Hibiscus Society and G Society met.
"Yes, it's us, may I ask who you are?" Yasuhiro Takeda said that he was a little curious about who this young man who looked like a high school student in a sportswear was, and why he was able to know their positions and accurately call them by name.
Miyahara Jing didn't answer his question, but shook hands with the two very warmly, and then continued: "Sure enough, it's the two, we've been waiting here for a long time, please come with me." ”
That's right, even when it comes to formal business negotiations, Shizune Miyahara is still wearing sportswear, and sportswear is his distinctive personal style.
What's wrong with sportswear, it can not only be worn by the gods, but also the basic protective equipment that travels to another world (note), so Miyahara Jing admits that wearing sportswear does not have the slightest disrespect for the two members of the G Society, on the contrary, he personally attaches great importance to this negotiation.
Besides, as a high school student, there will be no essential difference between wearing professional clothes and sportswear in the eyes of others.
Hideaki Anno and Yasuhiro Takeda followed Shizune Miyahara into the Hibiscus Society, and they found that although the Hibiscus Society was small, the staff were in good spirits, which made people feel that the publishing house was full of positive energy, and this kind of atmosphere was not seen in many small publishing houses.
I have to say that during this period, the Hibiscus Society has fully recovered from the previous blow, and if the two had come here a month ago, then the feelings would have been completely opposite.
Along the way, the two also noticed that people were constantly nodding to Miyahara, which made them more and more curious about the young man's identity.
After going all the way to the fifth floor, Miyahara pushed through an office door and motioned for them to come in, at which point Yasuhiro Takeda noticed that the sign at the door of the office read "President's Office".
"You two may be seated."
Miyahara Jing motioned for the two to sit down, and today he was the only one who had a discussion with the two members of the G Society.
First, Vice President Kubo was not at Hibiscus today, he went to Shueisha to continue to talk about the monopoly agreement with Koyama Takama, and second, the two had already agreed that Yoshishi Kubo would not interfere in the EVA project with G.
Yasuhiro Takeda and Hideaki Anno sat on the dark brown sofa and took a closer look at the office.
The office is not too big, it is more than 20 square meters, and the decoration style is very serious, not like the style that young people can like.
That's right, they were right, because this was Yuichi Miyahara's office, but it was officially used by Shizune Miyahara at this time.
"Welcome to Superintendent Anno and Director Takeda to our Hibiscus Society," and after the two of them were seated, Shizu Miyahara sat across from them.
As the owner, he was the first to speak, but he did not immediately turn the conversation to EVA investment.
"I am very grateful to the two of you for coming to our Hibiscus Society, Gainax is a famous and admired existence for me, and I have always paid close attention to and liked Gainax's works, whether it is the ambition embodied in 'Wang Li's Space Army', or the emotion brought to the audience in 'Leap to the Peak', and the immortal original works of 90 years." 'The Sapphire Mystery' shows that GAINAX is different from the industry's sophisticated production level and good intentions for the audience, so I am looking forward to working with GAINAX to achieve a collaboration. Miyahara said with some flattery.
Well, it's a bit too much to say that the hype is a bit exaggerated, and the current GAINAX is indeed a conscientious animation production company.
"It's over, it's over", Takeda Yasuhiro hurriedly waved his hand modestly, signaling Miyahara to say that it was too much, "Let's not talk about the previous Wang Li Space Army, the sapphire mystery is just our first TV animation test of the waters, and it is still the traditional adventure route of Miyazaki-style teenagers helping girls save the world, although it sells well, but it is far from being immortal......"
Speaking of this, Takeda Yasuhiro paused, and then continued, "I haven't asked for advice yet, who are you?" ”
In fact, this will Takeda Yasuhiro and Anno Hideaki have vaguely guessed the identity of Miyahara Shizu, after all, he can sit in the president's office in a grand manner, which is enough to explain who he is.
Miyahara Jing pretended to be annoyed and patted her forehead, and then said, "I'm really sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Miyahara Shizu, the current acting president of the Hibiscus Society." ”
Yasuhiro Takeda and Hideaki Anno glanced at each other, and they both found in each other's eyes that this young man was really the head of this publishing house!
Takeda hurriedly stood up again, shook hands with Miyahara Jing more warmly, and said, "It's really disrespectful that you are President Miyahara." ”
"President Miyahara looks really young." Hideaki Anno added as he knocked on the side.
Miyahara Jing said indifferently: "What president, my father is currently unable to deal with the affairs of the Hibiscus Society due to physical reasons, and I was forcibly pulled out to take charge of the matter this time, and being the acting president is only a matter of this month...... Also, Inspector Anno, I don't look young, but I'm really young, just a high school student. ”
Takeda Yasuhiro heard Miyahara Shizune say this, and his heart was immediately relieved, he didn't expect that what he had heard before was all true, and the old president abdicated, which was very beneficial to them, because in his mind, it was much easier to persuade a high school student to invest than to persuade an old president who had been immersed in the industry for many years.
"President Miyahara, can we talk about the EVA project?" Yasuhiro Takeda immediately asked tentatively.
"Of course," said Shizune Miyahara, "I am personally very optimistic about the EVA project, which has a strong stream of consciousness and religious mysteries, and is also an anime that can be distinguished from the current era, or rather EVA is an iconoclastic work, and it is precisely because EVA is a wonderful story and has a very strong personality that we think it can be an instant hit, so we decided to invest in your project." ”
Hideaki Anno nodded slightly, the young president was able to say the words stream of consciousness, religious overtones, and tradition, which proved that he had really studied the EVA plan and felt that the plan was feasible and profitable before deciding to invest, rather than a whim.
Is that good? Of course, although it is nice to be able to meet a wronged investor, it is inevitable that the layman will point fingers at the project because he has taken out the funds...... Investors who know how to do but can get enough funds are the most anticipated investors.
And after Miyahara Shizune's short words, Yasuhiro Takeda immediately put away the thoughts just now, he realized that although the president was only a high school student, he couldn't be underestimated, and soon, he regained the cautious feeling he had when he was negotiating.
"Yes, we ourselves firmly believe that EVA is an excellent work, but now because of the problems in the animation market itself, investing in TV animation is a very risky behavior, so in order to diversify the risk of investors, we have developed an animation production committee system, the main content is to let investors share the risk according to the proportion of capital contribution, and the advantage is ......" Yasuhiro Takeda immediately said this paragraph very fluently, as if he had said this paragraph to different investors countless times.
However, Miyahara interrupted Yasuhiro Takeda's words.
"I have a clear understanding of the production committee system, and I would like to ask if this production committee enjoys the copyright of EVA. This is a point that was not made clear in the plan. ”
I have to say that Miyahara Shizu's question is simple and crude, to the core.
"Well, according to the specific agreements we have signed with several funders, the investors of the EVA TV Animation Production Committee only enjoy the benefits brought by TV animation, the main of which is the sale of animation, and EVA's copyright is in the hands of GAINAX and will not be divided." Yasuhiro Takeda said.
Miyahara said, "However, according to the provisions of the RB Copyright Law, in the case of EVA, the investor has the right to ask for a share of the copyright, and if we put the money into the EVA project, it is only natural that we will share part of the copyright." ”
"This is impossible, the agreements we signed with other investors do not involve the copyright of the work, and if Hibiscus Society separately asks for the division of EVA's copyright, it will be contrary to the spirit of commercial fairness."
Miyahara pouted unscrupulously, sure enough, EVA's copyright is not so easy to get, as for the spirit of commercial fairness, what about the deceit, if the two parties sign a secret agreement, except for them, who will know that EVA's copyright has been divided.
"However, if I can't get part of the copyright of EVA, I will not be able to persuade the management of Hibiscus Society to agree to inject capital into EVA. Miyahara Shizune is talking nonsense, there are only about 30 people in the Hibiscus Society, and the only people who can really be called management are himself and Yoshishi Kubo, and it is the family business of the Miyahara family, and now that Yuichi Miyahara is not on the board, the Hibiscus Society is just a word hall of Miyahara Shizu.
"This ...... This ...... "Takeda Yasuhiro was a little speechless for a while,The former investor asked for exclusive EVA peripheral rights,The latter is to split the copyright,When did the investors of animation ask so much,Isn't it enough for animation to help them make money?
Note: They refer to Toyo Reed Hara China, the nameless god Yato who has an inexplicable and serious hand sweat, and the otaku Kazuma Sato who plays extreme crossing with the goddess of waste wood.
