Chapter Ninety-Seven: Expansion
"Yesterday we had already talked to the landlord and he was willing to rent us the other vacant floors of this office building at a 10 percent cheaper rent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The problem is that the third floor has been idle, so the renovation and other problems have not been cleaned up, and after negotiating with the owner, he seems to be unwilling to take responsibility in this regard, this time the problem is caused by my poor consideration, and I have already thought of the possibility of studio expansion. In the lounge, the members of the [Edge-no-Kong] animation studio gathered, and Aoi Morishita calmly explained while putting a plan in front of Yuu Kamiya, and when he talked about his dereliction of duty, his tone was a little helpless and self-reproachful.
"It's a problem on the owner's side, so it has nothing to do with Aoi." Chinatsu Yuuki, who was sitting on the sofa, took off the pink lollipop from her mouth and looked dissatisfied.
Kamiya Yu picked up the document and glanced at it a few times and muttered, "Then how long will it take to complete the renovation and how much will it cost." ”
Morishita Aoi nodded heavily: "If it's fast, it will take a month, although the basic decoration is very perfect, but there are still many problems in the circuit and toilet decoration." I have consulted a friend in the renovation industry, and the reference price he gave is between four million and six million. Although the landlord was unwilling to bear the renovation costs, he agreed that if we bear the renovation costs, then we will be exempted from the rent for this year. ”
Kamiya Yu weighed it inwardly, and then nodded and said, "It's not too much of a loss, so let's do it according to this plan." ”
After finishing speaking, Kamiya Yu glanced at Yuki Chixia and smiled: "Then Chixia, what should you do?" If you continue to expand your staff, you will inevitably need to vacate the unused office you are using. ”
Unexpectedly, Yuki Chixia replied indifferently: "It's okay, that room is just a little more spacious for me." Besides, it's winter, and I might be a little warmer to sleep under my desk. ”
"Really?"
Yuki Chixia gave Kamiya Yu a roll of his eyes unhappily: "What are you misunderstanding again, Yuu, you need to figure out the cause and effect of the room being empty because I moved in, not the cause and effect of the empty room when I moved in, I don't want to be said to take advantage of the company." ”
The corners of Kamiya's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to Aoi Morishita and asked, "Aoi, calculate the company's spending on snacks last month." ”
Hearing this, Uehara Ezuki, who was leisurely drinking tea next to him, had an imperceptible smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"Wait, wait, that's a perk! That doesn't count! Yuuki Chixia stood up and protested loudly, [Yuan-no-Kong] animation studio often prepares a batch of snacks, or Japanese companies have this habit, usually to supply them to employees who are too late to eat after overtime. As for Yuki Chikatsu, the average time she works at the company is one pack of snacks per hour, and the extra money in this regard is equivalent to about one-tenth of her monthly salary.
Kamiya Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, it doesn't count, so how are you preparing over there?" ”
Chixia Yuuki replied proudly with her small chest, "Are you underestimating me?" Don't look at me so small, I was quite popular when I was in the Kuni 3D animation department. Don't worry, I've already contacted three old members of the original 3D animation department, and they will be able to come here tomorrow to officially work. ”
After the annual vacation, the animation studio was not in a hurry to produce the new work "Black", but wanted to further expand the lineup of the 3D department, reduce the burden of Yuki Chixia, and at the same time make many things much easier in the future, the only trouble was that it would take about a week for the new members to become familiar with the use of Maya3D modeling software.
During this time, Kamiya Yu can concentrate on the storyboard production of "Black - Leaping Shadow Flying Aya", Maya3D modeling tutorial task is naturally responsible for Yuki Chixia, in addition, Kamiya Yu is not worried about the leakage of Maya3D modeling software, even if people from the outside world know that he has this magical 3D animation production software, they can't get specific programs, and the Maya3D modeling software of each computer is super encrypted by him using the technology of the previous world, which can only be used locally, and cannot be copied or uploaded. Once there is a sensitive behavior, it will also prompt, and if the abnormality is detected, the program will be automatically locked.
If a hacker in this world wants to crack this super encryption program, it will take at least 10,000 top-spec computers to run for a hundred years of computing time.
Animation studios will not always be small workshops, and although Yu Kamiya is an animation supervisor motivated by interest, he himself has the idea of building a network ********, involving games, film and television, animation, music, novels and other aspects, so as to create a complete and perfect ACG industry chain.
After the company meeting, Yutsuyo Kamiya, who returned to the office, sat down on the computer desk and saw a letter from the famous game producer Toshio Kojima.
"Dear Mr. Yosuganosora,
During this period of communication, I have benefited a lot, and therefore determined the feasibility and potential of your team's work "RWBY" in terms of game adaptation, our company and I are very willing to buy the game adaptation rights of your team's work "RWBY", with our strength and full confidence will not discredit your team's work "RWBY"...
・・・・・・
・・・・・・
I hope that Mr. Yosuganosora can even consider my opinion.
Toshio Kojima
January 8, 2017. ”
The content of the e-mail is nothing more than how he sincerely bought the game buyout rights of "RWBY", and the price has increased from 20 million yen at the beginning to 30 million yen now, which is a full half.
However, Kamiya Yu still shook his head, and he didn't plan to hand over the game copyright of "RWBY", and if the buyout right was handed over, it would really be a sale of his daughter, and in the future, his daughter would be in the hands of others, and others would not do what they wanted.
・・・・・・
"I'm only willing to sell the license for 10 million, which is a bit difficult to do." Toshio Kojima, the game's producer, sat in his office, looking at the reply from the "fake book" account with a heavy face.
Negotiations about the "RWBY" series were more difficult than he expected, and who wouldn't want to hug their thighs as a small production? Not to mention buying out the game adaptation rights for 20 million yen, with his company's fame, many production teams are eager to give him the game adaptation rights for free. However, during the Chinese New Year, he used the official account of "fake book" to get in touch with Yosuganosora more than once, in addition to asking about the follow-up development plan of the "RWBY" series, he was also constantly testing Yosuganosora's attitude towards buying out the game adaptation rights.
It's not impossible to spend 10 million to buy a license, but it means that all the initiative is in the hands of Yosuganosora, which is quite dissatisfied with the game producer who has his "Action Tianzun", and he will be tied up because of copyright issues when making the game.
Give up? This option Toshio Kojima didn't want to choose, and this time with Yosuganosora made him feel more and more that the potential of this work or the Yosuganosora team, no matter what the point of view, buying the license of "RWBY" for 10 million will not lose anything.
"There's no way, first submit a detailed plan to the company's financiers, and strive for a little more investment fee in the hope that it can impress that yosuganosora, otherwise you can only buy a license." Toshio Kojima sighed, his right hand habitually touching his pocket, whenever he encountered something irritable, he always wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down.
"Ah, I didn't bring a lighter, and the New Year is unlucky."
