Chapter 109: A Pit Man
Taku Eguchi was worried and unhappy, but fortunately Fukuda Genyi did not agree to this proposal, and said: "Teacher Xiqiu, since we have appraised the contract, then we will definitely do our best to make this work." In addition to Watanabe-kun, the other supervisors of our company are equally excellent and guarantee that they can make excellent animations. ”
It seems that the original animation of Nobuhiro Watanabe and Taku Eguchi will not be shelved because of this, which has nothing to do with Zhang Qiuxi, and she doesn't care. Letting Nobuhiro Watanabe direct was originally a casual pull, she didn't even know what kind of level Nobuhiro Watanabe was, how could she have to handpick this guy.
Zhang Qiuxi is not afraid that they will not be able to contribute, if she can't meet the requirements, she can ask for a redo, Kawasaki Bookstore wants to expand the animation market, and it is also necessary to take every work seriously.
"President Fukuda arranged it, I am also very confident in you, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you to cooperate, wouldn't I?" Zhang Qiuxi's words are not false, although the response to Kawasaki Bookstore's previous works was mediocre, the quality is still excellent, mainly because the plot is not recognized by the audience.
In addition to the character design, Zhang Qiuxi had to deal with a more important thing when he stayed, that is, making a budget. Of course, there is a special person in charge of this, and she does not need to worry about it herself, she cares about how much money it needs to spend and why it is so much money.
"Transformers" is about the war between the Bo faction and the mad faction, and the cost of combat anime is higher, Zhang Qiuxi has a little bottom in her heart, and the offer of Kawasaki Bookstore is also within her acceptable range.
"Making zuò animation is really a money-burning thing, and it cost me 100 million to do 60 million episodes." Although it was not beyond expectations, the episode of more than one million soft girl coins still made Zhang Qiuxi sigh. Even if some of them can be transferred back to the Celestial Empire, the cost will not be reduced much.
"Teacher Xiqiu, the contract we signed is one season, and the maximum is thirteen episodes." Hearing this number, Fukuda Genyi seemed to be a little confused.
"No, no, no. President Fukuda, what is written in the contract is one, not one season. Zhang Qiuxi shook his head and said: "You should know that our Celestial Empire is different from your Japanese habits, whether it is a TV series or an animation, we are all based on the ministry. You are a weekly broadcaster, and we are a daily broadcaster, and it is likely that you have not finished one season, and we have already finished broadcasting sixty episodes. ”
A season of a weekly drama is three months, and if it is broadcast daily, it will take more than 90 episodes to broadcast live every day. Fukuda Genyi's face was a little unsightly, and he said, "Teacher Xiqiu, your script only has twelve episodes." ”
"Well, it takes time to create." Zhang Qiuxi snickered in his heart, but his face didn't show anything on his face, and said: "At the speed of one episode a week, the current script will take three months, and I will definitely be able to write the follow-up script and hand it over to you at that time." ”
Of course, Genyi Fukuda will no longer believe her nonsense, if the script is not finished, how can it be sure that it is sixty episodes? But now that the contract has been signed, he is depressed and has no choice.
In the script, Zhang Qiuxi did not talk nonsense, and the script was indeed not finished yet. Sixty episodes is just an estimate, just like writing a web novel has an estimated number of words.
Of course, this number is not said casually, when she wrote the script, she played a hodgepodge again, kneading together the plots of the two versions of the American and Japanese animations she had seen in her previous life, and then she made up some of her own brains, adding up to about sixty episodes.
Although Zhang Qiuxi repeatedly emphasized to Fukuda Genyi that this is only one, it is not just a story at all, and it can be split into several parts to broadcast when the system is completed. is also because the contract signed is written "one", so even if you find that there are more than 60 episodes after writing the script, it doesn't matter, it is still in the contract.
——
"Teacher Xiqiu, Kawasaki Bookstore has been cheated by you this time." When Zhang Qiuxi and Fukuda Yuanyi talked about cooperation, Jonathan kept silent, but when the two were alone, he would still give Zhang Qiuxi ideas, of course, including joking, not without mentioning a word.
"How can you say that it's a pit, I gave the money that should be given quite happily." Zhang Qiuxi was unconscious.
Jonathan said: "In the past, Kawasaki Bookstore was able to produce two or three animations a year because there were twelve episodes in one season, and one was completed and another was made. Your Transformers have sixty episodes, which directly take up a little more than a little more of their time. ”
Zhang Qiuxi pursed his lips and said: "Kawasaki Bookstore has more than one animation team now, and Nobuhiro Watanabe and Takuko Eguchi have just been dug up. And I don't believe that they can be so honest that they might just throw it to other animation companies to be responsible? It's not easy for me to find a company to work with, but it's not hard for them at all. ”
"Sixty episodes is the equivalent of five seasons, but you can't change that fact." Jonathan still believes that Kawasaki Bookstore was cheated by Zhang Qiuxi.
"Well, don't worry about these details, if you continue to talk about it, you will miss the plane." Zhang Qiu was noncommittal, changed the topic and said: "Mr. Jonathan, it seems that you haven't even been to Kabukicho, don't you feel that you have come in vain?" ”
Jonathan regrets whether he regrets that he doesn't know, but Zhang Qiu regrets that he is quite regretful. Jonathan was stunned and said, "Why did you go to Kabukicho?" ”
"Of course, because there are so many custom shops in Kabukicho, isn't it every man's dream to go to a hot spring where men and women can take a bath, and then go to a custom shop to enjoy the services of a Japanese geisha?" Zhang Qiuxi said: "No, you seem to have acted alone before, you must have been there before, right?" ”
"Teacher Xiqiu, as a girl, please don't speculate about men at will, and don't arbitrarily place strange dreams for men." Jonathan was embarrassed at first, and then said seriously: "I'm a gentleman, a gentleman who loves his wife very much, how could I go to that kind of place." ”
"I just think from a man's point of view, that's why I think it's normal."
"Mr. Jonathan, can I understand that gentlemen don't go to that kind of place, because gentlemen generally have a few fixed lovers." Zhang Qiuxi continued: "You Americans are already open, but it is a very common thing to say it. Garfield has said that you should care for your neighbors, but don't let their husbands know. ”
"Who is Garfield?" Jonathan has been left in the dark.
"Uh, it's the main character of my next work." Zhang Qiuxi can only say this.
"So to speak. Teacher Xiqiu, a girl should not always think about some strange things. Jonathan had a completely defeated expression.
——
The imperial capital time is an hour slower than Tokyo time, and the direct flight from Narita Airport to Cheonggye is not only fast, but more comfortable is that there is no need to adjust to the time difference. It was only afternoon when Zhang Qiuxi walked out of Qingxi International Airport, and he didn't feel tired from the journey, so he went directly to the magazine after saying goodbye to Jonathan.
"**Guys, I'm back, come and give Uncle a smile." Zhang Qiuxi shouted when she walked into the magazine, but no one paid attention to her.
Except for Li Yue, the hand-shaking shopkeeper, everyone else was busy conscientiously, and they didn't raise their heads when they heard Zhang Qiuxi's voice. Zhang Qiuxi was depressed, walked over and threw away the luggage, lay on the sofa and said, "Hey, I want to give me an expression." Even if you don't pay attention to whether the cooperation has been negotiated, you can say that you miss me if you haven't seen me for many days, right? ”
"First of all, you can see from your virtue that the matter of making the zuò animation must have been done. Secondly, you don't all sit quietly with us, although it may be a bit shocking, in fact no one thinks about you. Hongdou said this, but he was full of smiles.
"Please, with little sister Ye Qingqing, you can be quiet?" Zhang Qiuxi rolled her eyes, Ye Qingqing was much more noisy than her.
"What do you mean, you, as soon as you come back, you want to make me uncomfortable, don't you?" Ye Qingqing immediately expressed her dissatisfaction and said, "Again, I am older than you, you should call me sister." ”
"Who said age is used as a ranking?" Zhang Qiuxi easily hit Ye Qingqing to the point where she was incomplete.
The red bean who was lying on the gun gritted his teeth and said: "Why don't you die in Japan, it's a pity that there are no terrorists in Japan." ”
"I agree with your latter sentence." Zhang Qiuxi got up and said: "Although I am not dead, I don't know at all, it is very difficult for an eighteen-year-old girl to fight wits and courage with those old foxes." ”
Shangguan Jin smiled and said, "Anyway, our goal has been achieved, isn't it?" ”
"What I'm going to say now is that the process is not easy, it's nearly four chapters long, you don't even know how to feel sorry for me." Zhang Qiu pouted, and then lay on the sofa and complained: "The world is getting worse and the people are not ancient, and no one cares about being tired and tired outside." ”
"Alright, talk well." Hongdou really couldn't look at it, so he kicked Zhang Qiu in the past and said, "Let Shangguan give you a massage, I'll invite you to dinner later, and now take out the contract first." ”
The contract is in duplicate, in both languages, so you don't have to worry about not being able to read it. Shangguan Jin really walked over and pinched Zhang Qiuxi's shoulders and asked, "Since the contract has been signed, let's make the budget, how much does Kawasaki Bookstore cost?" ”
The asking price of Kawasaki Bookstore is also the cost of their production, Zhang Qiuxi raised his fingers and said: "Sixty episodes cost almost 100 million, this is still the result of my bargaining, the script money is naturally saved, and the character design is only half spent." ”
"Don't say such a big number in such a calm tone, our magazine doesn't have 100 million now." Azuki frowned.
"You don't need to pay it all at once, and they won't be able to do it for a while." Zhang Qiuxi is not worried about this.
