Chapter 112: Gambling with your life

Regarding Han Li's questioning, Shen Chi smiled slightly: "I know that when you first joined the company, I saw a trace of disappointment in your eyes.

I also know that this comic work of yours is very successful, and there are many companies that have asked you to work with now, including some big ones. Any one of them is bigger and stronger than our company.

But be assured, we're definitely the most sincere, and the terms I can give you are not something that other companies can afford. ”

After hearing Shen Chi's words, Han Li glanced at him, then took a sip of tea and said, "Sincerity, I can naturally feel it from the contact and chat between the two of us for such a long time, but sincerity is not omnipotent.

As you mentioned about the current situation of your company, I'm a little skeptical that you can animate some of it, even though it's just a normal 2D animation. ”

Shen Chi shook his head and said: "Animation companies don't rely on a lot of people, just take our previous very good animation work "Havoc in Heaven" in China, its production team is very small, and it has not created a generation, no, it is a classic of several generations.

Although the situation of our company is not very good, please believe that we all have a heart for animation, otherwise we would not have lasted so long. It is impossible for the five employees outside to stay here at such a meager salary without changing jobs to other companies.

Not to mention, these five employees are all elites in the animation industry, and they are no worse than the employees of any large company in China, or even better than them.

In the style of this manga, it can only be made into a two-dimensional animation. The overall technical difficulty is not too difficult, and we are completely sure that we will achieve it. And the reason why they stay here is because they still have a love for anime and a dream to revitalize anime.

If you're going to work with other big companies, you're bound to have a lot of limitations. Whether it's a movie, a TV series, or the animation industry, you are also clear about the status of our domestic editors.

But if you cooperate with us, it will not involve these at all, and the reason why our company has not developed is that it lacks an excellent screenwriter and an excellent script.

So if you can work with us, we will give you full freedom when it comes to editing. That's something I don't think other companies can do. ”

For Shen Chi's words, Han Li nodded. At present, this is indeed the case in China, whether it is a movie or a TV series, or animation, everyone is keen to invite big names to come over to play or dub. Even as long as it's the big-name fire invited, as for acting skills and strength, these are not important.

And like the screenwriter of the movie, this is not in people's consideration at all. For these big names and directors, it's simple to want a script. And as long as there are big names, it doesn't matter what the plot is, fans will chase it anyway.

And the screenwriter's status in the crew is really not as high as in the subtitle order, as the director's full strength is getting bigger and bigger, and even big enough to become a word queen.

Then the screenwriter, or even what's in the script, doesn't matter. As long as the director needs it, he can change it at will, or even cut it at will.

Often a very good script is revised and deleted back and forth by directors and big names, and it gradually becomes unrecognizable.

So after the release of such a film, when the audience scolds the film for being bad, in addition to the actors and directors, the most common scolding is the editor.

What kind of film, I don't understand. It's messy, this plot is too bloody or something.

As for the editor of the film, looking at these insults and comments is helpless. Because many editors often ask if this is the script he wrote after attending the film viewing or premiere.

It is precisely because of this that Han Li will give up the cooperation of those large companies, and find Shen Chi instead. The reason why he found Shen Chi at that time was that he didn't just think of cooperation.

"Well, I shouldn't question your sincerity."

Han Li shook his head, and then got serious and said, "Now let's get to the point and talk about your conditions." If we can, we'll work together. If not, then we're still friends. ”

Hehe, Shen Chi smiled bitterly for a while: "It seems that you should put forward the conditions, let's meet them." ”

However, after glancing at Han Li, Shen Chi continued: "Okay, then let's talk about the conditions I gave you, it is absolutely sincere." ”

Shen Chi raised three fingers and said, "As long as you give us the animation copyright of this comic, I will give you thirty percent of our company's shares." On top of that, I'll give you 55 percent cash and a 50 percent share of the total revenue from the animation. ”

Hearing Shen Chi's words, he shook his head with a smile and said, "You know, now there are companies that have quoted two million for the animation copyright of this comic, and the profit share has also been given to more than ten percent." ”

Shen Chi shook his head and said, "They obviously underestimated the potential and benefits of your manga adaptation. You know, you just pay for one copyright, and you get three things.

One, you will get 30% of the shares of our company. Although the company is not doing well now, I am confident. When we're done with this animation, our company will definitely grow. And when the time comes, this 30 percent of the shares, I think is definitely a very impressive number.

Two, you will get half a million in cash. I know that these 500,000 yuan can't impress you, especially since you are also a hot-selling online writer who earns more than 1 million a month. But be assured, it's definitely my best effort so far.

In order to be able to get your anime, I mortgaged the house where my parents lived and borrowed some money from relatives and friends, a total of about one million.

Pay you 500,000 and save the rest of the money, barely able to make this animation. If you add more money, the production cost will definitely not be enough.

Three, I will give you a fifty percent revenue share, which is definitely the highest among screenwriters and scripts. I need this anime to stay alive and make a name for myself. So I put everything I had into it, just betting that the anime would definitely succeed. ”

Hearing what Shen Chi said, Han Li said with a wry smile: "You are gambling with your own net worth, what should you do if this animation is not successful." ”

Shen Chi shook his head and said firmly: "No case, this animation work will definitely be successful." On the one hand, this comic work has accumulated a very high popularity and has a certain market potential, which is why those companies will compete to buy the rights from you.

On the other hand, I believe in this work, and I believe in you, and we will definitely succeed. ”

"What if, I mean what if." Han Li couldn't help but ask.

After hearing Han Li's words, Shen Chi was silent for a while. After a while, he spoke: "Don't worry, if there really is a day, I won't kill myself, because I have to pay off my debts."

Not only do I have to pay back my relatives and friends, but also my parents, and I won't just walk away like that. Maybe this process will last a long time, and maybe I may collapse for the rest of my life.

But it's all fate, I don't regret it, at least I used to work hard for my dreams, didn't I? ”

[Once again, I wish you all a Happy New Year, the Year of the Dog!] 】
