Chapter 210: The Intro and the Singer
Throughout mid to early May, Sun Peng and Xia Weiqing were busy together.
Even with the help of the golden finger of the traverser, if he wants to turn the memory in his mind into the physical object of this world, Sun Peng still has to hold the pen and draw patiently every day. After drawing the characters and scenes you want, you can make a "high-definition remake" by Xia Weiqing to make something that you can really get your hands on.
For a while, both of them were very busy.
It's just that there are too many things that need to be done, so later Sun Peng found out that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly called Yu Ruonan and Chen Ruoyi over to help temporarily, and the four of them started work at the same time to barely keep up with the progress.
However, although the high-intensity pen is very tiring, it is indeed good for Sun Peng, he is not bad but definitely not an excellent painter has made a lot of progress, in the words of Xia Weiqing, this level is no problem even if it is a comic on the Internet.
After hearing this, Sun Peng was so proud that he even really pondered the possibility of moving a comic.
Of course, it's just a matter of thinking.
Comics are too time-consuming, especially the works of those masters, unless Sun Peng is given another system, it will be difficult to even copy a word, let alone move an entire comic. At that time, there was more than enough for him to move ten times.
But in addition to painting, Sun Peng has other things to do.
According to the original plan, Heaven and Dragon Slayer will be completed at the end of June, and the new promotional video is imminent, so he is still busy writing music and composing! And since the second half of the year is the end of Jin Dada's works in the plan, Sun Peng doesn't want to make a living, and plans to serve the last two books of Jin Da well, and also make up for the first four books......
Twenty days also allowed Hou Qingqing to clean up his new office.
Office furniture and appliances are all in stock, and they have already been purchased, and most of the full sets of equipment that can make a small animation company operate normally are also in place, and there are only two or three sets of things left to wait a little longer.
On May 20th, when Sun Peng brought Xia Weiqing to the company, he found that even the employees had twenty-five or sixteen, all of whom were busy in their respective positions. Sun Peng was stunned when he saw it, and hurriedly grabbed Hou Qingqing and asked in a low voice, "Senior sister, why did you bring so many people at once?" ”
"Well, a lot?"
Looking out of the glass window of his office, Hou Qingqing said a little dazedly: "I dug eighteen or nineteen, and there are six or seven people you dug through the headhunting company, how ...... is this?" We're still a dozen away from our goal! ”
"Uh...... I mean how can it be so fast? These people ......"
The corners of his eyes twitched twice, and Sun Peng asked a little embarrassed.
"Oh, you're afraid I'll find someone randomly!"
Hou Qingqing suddenly realized, and then looked at Sun Peng angrily and funny: "Please, are you a fool for me?" These people are all carefully selected by me, and although they are not the top in the animation industry, they are definitely qualified talents...... Well, aren't you here today to start working on the trailer for your new book? Wouldn't they know everything if they gave it a try? ”
"Haha, okay, haha."
Yang Tian snorted, don't mention Sun Peng's embarrassment.
However, even if there are only about 20 people, according to the salary level and standard given to them by Hou Qingqing, it will be nearly one million in a month, and it will be close to two million after forty people are gathered! This real money is thrown out like flowing water, Sun Peng can't really believe it after listening to his words, so he naturally has to see it with his own eyes!
And......
Rubbing his hands, Sun Peng smiled dryly: "By the way, senior sister, I forgot to tell you, this time we are not making a new book trailer, but two!" On July 1st, I'm going to double open ......"
"Double-open? It's true?! ”
Hou Qingqing's reaction after hearing this sentence was not in a hurry, but her eyes widened in surprise!
God, I heard you right, right?
"That's right, double open!"
Nodding and sighing, Sun Peng burst into tears in his heart at the moment.
It is not surprising that Hou Qingqing, a martial arts fan, has such a reaction, if it weren't for the fact that they knew it was impossible, they would even hope that Sun Peng would open three or four times, or update him with 20,000 words a day! However, for Sun Peng, not to mention the sudden doubling of the workload, it is not in line with his low-key style!
But this time, Sun Peng had no choice.
He is not alone now, he has more than 20 people to support, and this number will increase to 40 in the future! In order to poach these talents, Hou Qingqing at least gave a salary 20% higher than the market price, and the highest was 50%! After all, you are a new company that has just been established, and people are not newcomers who have just graduated, who wants to come if you don't give more money?
In this month, the rent and the company's operating costs are two or three million!
And don't forget, this is only the company's own operating costs, but also take into account the future expenses of cooperation with Chen Sihai and others. Even if Sun Peng injected a lot of money into the company, enough for them to maintain it for a year, if you consider the uncertain future of martial arts animation, he now has a strong sense of crisis, and he must save more for the uncertainty of the future.
The quickest way, of course, is to continue to earn manuscript fees and royalties.
Whether it is the share of online dramas or songs, Sun Peng doesn't dare to expect too much, at least in a short period of time, because first, the return on investment is very slow, and secondly, his proportion in it is not much. But martial arts is different, when the plot of Heaven and Dragon Slayer enters the penultimate month, plus the manuscript fee of the old book will definitely break through three million!
At the same time, Zheng Ye also sent a message of printing after a long absence.
Maybe it's because the books that were reprinted a few years ago are finally about to sell out, or maybe it's to celebrate that Yitian, who is about to finish not long ago, finally signed a publishing contract on the same terms as the Condor, in short, Shuxiang Publishing House decided to print three sets of old books with 200,000 sets each! And the number of Yitian's first prints is further than that of the Condor, 600,000 sets!
More than 10 million royalties can be expected, which can finally make Sun Peng a little more steady.
However, in order to not fall into this predicament in the future, Sun Peng still decided to double open, and while putting "Dragon Babu" on, he had been hesitating to take out the other one, not sure if he should move it, so that the martial arts fans in this world can cool off!
After listening to Sun Peng's decision, Hou Qingqing, who is now a seriously ill patient of martial arts poison, turned around excitedly.
However, after his eyes rolled, Hou Qingqing smiled flatteringly: "Bai Da, why do you open it at once, it's better to have a book that you can just change 10,000 words a day, and then write another book after you finish writing?" ”
"Nonsense, you pay for the manuscript even faster?"
Glancing at Hou Qingqing, Sun Peng said angrily.
No matter how long Lao Jin's book is, it will be more than one million words, if it is really more than 10,000 words a day, even if "Tianlong Babu" will last for four months at most, there is not enough time, where can there be so many recommendations, and take such a high collection and subscription?
Five thousand words a day, no more!
After talking to Hou Qingqing for a while, the business finally began.
Sun Peng took out more than 100 pictures made in the past month, and the next month was to make two promotional videos around these people and scenes. Of course, because of time, even if these 20 or so people are veterans in the industry now, they can also ask the Animation Academy for help, compared to Hou Qingqing's laughter, Sun Peng didn't dare to do too troublesome things - after all, everyone has just started to run in.
So after putting the simple script and those pictures in place, Hou Qingqing immediately pouted and said, "This time I did a little dynamic, but how do I look like ...... Tsk, like the title of a TV series? Are you going to put it on with music like this? ”
As a fan and animator, Hou Qingqing has a deep resentment towards Yitian's trailer.
Nonsense, isn't that the opening credits?
Secretly complained, Sun Peng spread his hands and said: "Then you say, how good can we do in forty days?" As long as you set up a military order, I will write out any complicated book for you! ”
"Ahem, I think...... Actually, that's pretty good. ”
His face changed immediately, and Hou Qingqing didn't dare to say anything more. Although the two trailers add up to less than ten minutes, their team has just opened, and there are only 20 guns! Let's not talk about the need to run in for a few days or something, but I think that there must be enough energy to make two short films, and Hou Qingqing doesn't want to make trouble for himself - what if this kid really raises a high standard and can't finish it himself?
Seeing that Hou Qingqing was soft, Sun Peng also smiled, and took out another envelope from his bag as if playing magic: "But if you have time to eat, then just make another one...... Don't worry, it's just over two minutes, it's very simple! ”
"Huh? What's this time? ”
"It's the same as you just said, it's still an intro!"
Thinking of this set of things that he had been thinking about a long time ago, Sun Peng said with a little emptiness: "Those scenes, characters and scripts are all in it, don't worry, just look back and watch it...... Ahem, I'll have something to do later, so I'll go first! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Hou Qingqing to say anything, Sun Peng waved his hand and hurriedly left.
"Well, it's still young and rough."
Shaking his head, Hou Qingqing casually opened the envelope that Sun Peng had just put down, and then his face immediately changed.
Staring at the script, and then looking at the dozens of slightly old original paintings in his hand, Hou Qingqing suddenly screamed: "Sun Peng, you pit senior sister ...... thing"
……
When he went out, he blacklisted Hou Qingqing's phone first, and Sun Peng couldn't help but hehe Yile.
He didn't fool anyone, it's really only more than two minutes, but it's definitely not easy to do, it's almost equivalent to the third trailer. Originally, he was still hesitant to take it out, but later found that Hou Qingqing's expression seemed to be very relaxed after getting the two notebooks, and Sun Peng finally decided to add more burden to them.
However, this thing was not done authentically, Sun Peng decided to hide from Hou Qingqing for two days first.
found his little China in the garage, and after getting into the car, Sun Peng hesitated, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Hello, is it Sister Liu?" I'm Sun Peng! ”
……
"I'm sorry to bother you, now Luo Tianwang's new album should be in full swing, right? The result? ”
……
"Haha, that's great...... No, no, I don't have the idea of being on a TV show yet, so if I want to talk about publicity, I can only go back and mention it later, I'm really embarrassed. ”
……
"That's the case, I want to ask, do you know the singer Ma Boyuan from Lingnan? Can you introduce me to him? ”
