On the afternoon when he learned that the negotiation had failed, Meng Zhe, who had just finished his afternoon on campus and came to the studio of the magazine and picked up a pen to draw half a picture, heard the sound of the door being knocked on.

"Xiao Zhe, that Miss Jiang Shuyue in this book called for international calls and said that there is something important to discuss with you!" Song Guixu, who walked into the studio after knocking on the door, hurriedly said: "Go and answer the phone, I heard that international calls are very expensive......"

So, Meng Zhe got up and walked out of the studio, came to the editorial office, picked up the phone, and said politely: "Hello Sister Jiang, I am Meng Zhe, what are you looking for me?" ”

Although Jiang Shuyue is Kong Lan's classmate, it seems that they are still close friends, but Meng Zhe is not familiar with others after all.

"Wow——, hello Mr. Jiji, you will be embarrassed to call someone else's sister, but I am your loyal reader! By the way, I've already booked a plane ticket, and I'll be coming to the mainland in a few days, I'll send the trophy of Tezuka's reward, and when the time comes, Mr. Jiji, can you give someone a few autographs......

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Shuyue's voice with an obvious Taiwanese accent stretched like a cannon, Meng Zhe could even imagine that this Jiang Shuyue should be a cheerful and lively girl with an extraordinarily introverted surname.

"Thank you, Sister Jiang! Signatures or something, no problem with how many there are. Meng Zhe replied on the other end of the phone, Jiang Shuyue helped him put the comics into the mud bomb market, and of course Meng Zhe would not refuse this request.

"Wow! Then I want five, oh no...... Ten of them! I want 10 signatures! Teacher Jiji, you are absolutely not allowed to go back, you are a man's ......" Hearing Meng Zhe's promise, Jiang Shuyue on the other end of the phone was obviously very excited, but then she said with annoyance as if she suddenly remembered something important-

"Ahh I heard that if you agree, you will have a lot of money to take, ah, yes, yes...... If you agree, it seems that you can also mention some conditions such as specifying who will be the voice actor and who will be the supervisor and director. ”

Jiang Shuyue said this, although she was simply repeating the original words of the Shueisha visitor, Jiang Shuyue was still very excited, as if it was not Meng Zhe's comics that were going to be animated, but her own......

"Animated?"

Meng Zhe unexpectedly repeated the word animation, although he had expected that his comics might be animated, but originally he thought that it would be at least after twenty episodes of serialization.

If there is no plagiarized animation of Zhu Jianqiang now, Meng Zhe may reject Shueisha's proposal to animate, and patiently accumulate funds to do it himself when the time comes.

But now, after thinking silently for almost half a minute, Meng Zhe replied: "Sister Jiang, I agree to animate, but my condition is that Shueisha must find a way to help me build my own animation studio - not in Yuben, but in the city where I live!" ”

……

The day before the final exam, Meng Zhe met Jiang Shuyue, his 'plenipotentiary agent' in the mud bombardment country, in the reception room of Tianjiao Society.

Jiang Shuyue, who has a Taiwanese accent, has slightly dark skin, and her appearance can only be described as ordinary, but her eyes are very smart, so the whole person looks very energetic.

Jiang Shuyue made a special trip to Wufeng County and brought Meng Zhe the trophy of the Tezuka Award, and Jiang Shuyue was accompanied by two Shueisha people.

"Meng Jun, I'm Satoshi Tian, the deputy editor of Shueisha, about the animation of the chess soul and the light girl, our Shueisha has prepared a contract ......" The one who came to Shueisha was the one who came to the house, and said after bowing deeply from this Meng Zhe, as he spoke, he took out a contract from the briefcase he was carrying with him and handed it to Meng Zhe with both hands.

Yes, although it hasn't been serialized for too long, Shueisha has already made the decision to animate "Chess Soul" and "Light Girl" TV.

Under the introduction of Satoichi Aida, Meng Zhe learned that in this era, the production model of this cartoon is still a model of multi-party investment, risk sharing and copyright sharing.

First, the sponsor and the advertising agency make an annual advertising plan, and then the advertising agency gives 80% of the total sponsorship funds to the TV station, which in turn allocates 40% of the proceeds to the planning company, which in turn gives 76% of the proceeds to the animation production company for the production of the animation.

Therefore, in the end, the money that really falls on animation production is actually only about one-fifth of the total investment. Normally, the production cost of each episode of this anime is about 11 million yuan, which is about 40,000 yuan per minute when converted into Chengren people's coins.

Therefore, it is not enough to rely on the money of advertising sponsors alone, and planning companies will use various methods to increase revenue in order to increase investment. For example, licensing to toy companies, audio-visual production companies, local television broadcasts, video game manufacturers, etc., to obtain copyright income and use it for additional investment.

Because this anime is broadcast once a week, even if the audience responds enthusiastically in the first few episodes, there is still time to continue to find investors......

Meng Zhe's "Light Girl" and "Chess Soul", the planning company is a subsidiary of Shueisha, and the sponsor problem has been solved - Yamaha Organ Company has decided to sponsor the animation of "Light Sound Girl", and the intended sponsorship amount is 300 million yuan! The investment sponsorship of the animation of "Chess Soul" is called the Chess Academy, with an intended sponsorship of 140 million yuan.

Coupled with other miscellaneous sponsors, the sponsorship amount of the two comics has raised more than 500 million yuan so far. According to Sakuichi Aida, it should be possible to raise at least 600 million yuan.

The first season of the Light Girl has 24 episodes to be produced, and the Chess Soul is 12 episodes.

Meng Zhe's income is naturally the copyright transaction money, and he can get about 10 million yuan per copyright fee, of course, if the TV animation is popular, the copyright money for making sequels, authorized production of toys, production of video games, etc. will be calculated separately.

In fact, these follow-up royalties are the big ones -

Is it 10 million yuan each? That's about 800,000 RMB? If there are two parts, after deducting taxes, it should add up to almost 1.5 million...... Meng Zhe did a little mental arithmetic and came up with the final answer.

One and a half million, it's more than enough to build an animation studio, right?

So, Meng Zhe began to check in detail the Chinese version of the contract brought by Shueisha. After reading it carefully, Meng Zhe felt that the contract was nothing more than to add the sponsors' trademarks to the TV animation, so Meng Zhe handed over the contract to Kong Lan, who only returned from Yanjing yesterday.

After Kong Lan read it, he didn't find any problems, so he handed over the contract to a specially hired lawyer, and the lawyer raised a few questions, but under Satoichi Aida's explanation and Meng Zhe's no-objection statement, the lawyer finally nodded.

So, Satoshi Aida made the final confirmation at the beginning: "Meng Jun, are you sure that your request for the animation of the two comics is only to establish an animation production studio in your place?" ”
