Chapter 107: Take a step back
Although Fukuda Genyi was very resolute, Zhang Qiuxi did not give up because of this, and there were still many conditions to talk about, so he said: "President Fukuda, you shouldn't think so. Simply doing OEM may not be beneficial to your company, but because it can make your company go further in the field of animation, why not? ”
"As far as I know, your society can produce two or three animations a year, and your next works may not be comparable to Shangguan Kasuga Monogatari. If the response is still mediocre after the launch, what benefits can it bring to your company? Shangguan Kasuga Story can allow you to achieve your goals, and all you have to pay is to give up or postpone some plans, which is nothing to lose. ”
Negotiating with Kawasaki Bookstore, Zhang Qiuxi's biggest reliance is "Shangguan Spring Story", of course, he has to hold it tightly in his hand. When she said this, Taku Eguchi was not happy, and interjected: "How can you be sure that our future works still have a mediocre response?" Watanabe-kun and I are confident that we will create a work that can be a big hit, and you don't need to worry about it. ”
"As a colleague, I can understand Mr. Eguchi's attitude towards his work, but I don't have to be confident that it will become popular. At least Shangguan Kasuga Monogatari has proven that it has such potential, and what about the work you are going to make next? ”
Many creators will have blind confidence in their works, especially among newcomers, take online writers as an example, before they released it, they thought they could punch this and kick that, but as soon as it was released, they found that they didn't even have the qualifications to hit the street. It's not entirely because I don't know the sky, but because I care about my own hard work.
Since Taku Eguchi was invited by Fukuda Genyi with a high salary, he should have some ability, and this kind of self-confidence is probably not blind, but brought after success. However, this does not matter, "The Tale of Kasuga Shangguan" is also outstanding compared to excellent Japanese works, and Taku Eguchi has little chance of surpassing it.
"If you don't have confidence in yourself, then why stay in this business?" Taku Eguchi said, "Our company's next production plan will focus on originality, and I am the one in charge of script creation, so we will wait and see how it will be heard." ”
Zhang Qiuxi has the intention of belittling his ability, so Eguchi Taku's tone is not very good, although he can't understand Japanese, but Zhang Qiuxi can still see his expression. It's just that Eguchi Taku's dissatisfaction has no effect on Zhang Qiuxi, and she is even happier.
"It turns out that President Fukuda, you are in the period of discussing the original script, and it is really disturbing to come to visit rashly." Zhang Qiuxi smiled: "President Fukuda, the reason why you chose to be original is because you feel that your comic works do not meet the requirements, right?" ”
Fukuda Genyi could only nod silently, Eguchi Takuba was leaked, what else could he justify. Zhang Qiuxi's smile was even worse, and then said: "If I can, I am willing to give your club ideas." Without boasting, I'm pretty good at creating. ”
"No need." Takushi Eguchi bluntly refused.
Zhang Qiuxi didn't care, and said: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket, President Fukuda should know this very well, right?" ”
Zhang Qiuxi organized the vocabulary as he spoke, thinking about how to say it to be more beneficial to himself, and continued: "Since you all feel that your comic works can't achieve the desired purpose, why not give up for the time being?" Accept my conditions, you can still make original animations.,If you succeed, it's naturally better.,If you fail, there's also the support of Shangguan Kasuga Story.。 ”
"Personally, I'm very willing to continue working with Kawasaki Shoten. I haven't finished writing Shangguan Kasuga Story yet.,There will be more light novels and comics in the future.,I really hope to be able to continue to work together happily.,It's just that if you don't want to, I'll have to think of another way.。 ”
Zhang Qiuxi said this is almost equivalent to a showdown, the meaning is very clear, Kawasaki Bookstore will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future if she is willing, if she is not willing, then she can only break up, she can go to other companies to cooperate.
"Teacher Xiqiu, you are indeed very accomplished in novels, but I don't think you can still draw comics." Nobuhiro Watanabe spoke again and said, "If possible, we Kawasaki Bookstore will naturally be happy to cooperate with you, but it would be wrong for you to use this as a temptation condition." ”
"It's true that I can't draw comics, but some of us in the magazine club do." Zhang Qiuxi didn't deny it, and Eguchi Taku snorted and said: "I don't think there will be any Japanese people who are interested in your comics, and even if you give away the copyright, you may not be able to give it away." ”
Speaking of comics, Nobuhiro Watanabe and Takushi Eguchi were all proud, and Zhang Qiuxi shrugged his shoulders and said, "President Fukuda, what do you mean?" After I said so much, would you rather give up Shangguan Kasuga Story and continue to struggle to survive in the anime field? ”
"Teacher Xiqiu, of course I am also willing to continue to cooperate with you, so we can cooperate in all aspects." Fukuda Genyi always spoke when he felt it was time to speak, and said with a smile: "Shangguan Kasuga Story, we can jointly invest, why can't you let us OEM the step?" ”
"I don't know what kind of animation you want to make, and I don't know what the story is, but as long as you're willing to nod your head, I can ignore these and just sign a co-investment contract."
Nima said so much and wrapped myself in, Zhang Qiuxi sighed in his heart, this Futian Yuanyi is really difficult. She is not short of money, and she is not willing to invest in half of the copyright with others, which is completely more than worth the loss.
"President Fukuda, I have my insistence. In this way, I can hand over the adaptation rights of Shangguan Kasuga Monogatari to you, and I won't participate in the joint investment thing, how about you make me an animation? ”
"Mr. Xiqiu seems to attach great importance to this other work, and I want to know more and more what kind of work this is." Fukuda Genyi smiled playfully.
Nima doesn't even know what the story is, and it seems that she has already begun to make up her mind. Zhang Qiuxi had to sigh again that Fukuda Yuanyi was really cunning, and Shangguan Chunga Story had not yet made a decision, and his hand had already stretched out.
"If President Fukuda can agree, then it will be seen soon." Zhang Qiuxi spread his hands and said: "Isn't negotiation a process of mutual compromise, isn't it better for everyone to take a step back and sign happily?" President Fukuda, I'm already very sincere. ”
"Teacher Xiqiu, your so-called concession is nothing." Fukuda Genyi shook his head, obviously still dissatisfied with this condition.
