Animation?

Wang Wenhong looked surprised, and the wine glass he was holding in his hand couldn't be put down for a long time.

Shang Haozhi also rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

Bao Jiyi seems to be polite and gentle, but in fact, he is very shrewd and puts interests first. Otherwise, it would not have shifted the topic from the serialization of manga to the production of animation in such a short period of time.

Yokoi was a little surprised and didn't know if he was translating to Murakami.

Murakami looked at Yokoi in confusion and asked what was going on, and Yokoi organized his language a little and translated Bao Jiyi's words into Japanese.

After understanding the meaning of Bao Jiyi's words, Murakami's face was also full of puzzlement.

"What do you mean by Mr. Bao?" Murakami asked.

"Simple. Everyone can see that this is a very good manga. If you produce high-quality animations, you can make the sales of "Chess Soul" go one step further, as for the animations with poor level...... I don't need to say more, Mr. Murakami must have a lot of experience in this area, and he should have seen examples of manga being affected due to the poor quality of the animation.

"I think that a work as good as "Chess Soul" should be made with better animation - Mr. Murakami is not interested, our two magazines will contact animation manufacturers together to produce this animation. As for copyright, Zone 11 will be represented by you, and outside Zone 11, we will act as your agent. ”

Risk-sharing......

After Bao Jiyi put forward his opinion, Shang Haozhi guessed his intentions.

Murakami must have guessed the reason, but Bao Jiyi's proposal was indeed a win-win situation.

Bring in more companies to share the production cost of animation, and everyone will take what they need, even if the final income is not good, everyone can accept it.

"Hmm...... This collaboration...... I think it's funny, but Leap only publishes books, not animations, so I'm going to go back and talk to other animation companies...... It's best to see how the comic reacts in Area 11 in a few months. ”

"It's fine, but we'll have to wait until the end of February. In March, we're going to start working on the anime and we're going to show it in July. ”

"This is not good. By the end of February, we can only judge the trend of "Chess Soul". If the feedback from the readers is good, we can contact the appropriate animation company, so the animation will be produced in mid to late April at the earliest. Murakami was not attracted by Bao Jiyi's paintings, but insisted on his own opinion.

Murakami's answer did not go beyond Bao Jiyi's tone, and he also knew that the people in District 11 were more cautious, so he didn't take Murakami Toru . It's too tight, "Yes, just listen to you, I'll wait for your news at the end of March." However, Mr. Murakami, I may sell the copyright of the first season of "Chess Soul" to Longyao Animation Company, what is the strength of this company, I don't need to say more, right? ”

When Wang Wenhong heard the word "Long Yao", his heart beat faster.

Longyao Animation, among domestic animation companies, basically ranks in the top two.

There is no need for other companies to intervene, as long as Long Yao is willing to buy it, the quality of the animation of "Chess Soul" will definitely exceed that of "Hunting Abyss" - of course, correspondingly, the production cost will also rise.

Shang Haozhi rubbed his chin with a solemn expression.

He knew Bao Jiyi too well, and before today, "Chess Soul" still had no plans to make animations.

The reason why Bao Jiyi brought Long Yao Animation out was not to really sell the copyright to Long Yao Animation, but to take the opportunity to bring "Leap" in, and then use "Leap" and the animation producers in District 11 to cooperate with Long Yao Animation or other animation companies.

In the final analysis, Bao Jiyi's words are "painting cakes".

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and Bao Jiyi's approach is nothing to blame.

Murakami's eyes lit up when he heard "Long Yao".

Long Yao Animation was also an outsourcing background before, and has undertaken many works in District 11, and has a good reputation.

"Since Mr. Bao is so sincere, then ...... By the end of March, we will definitely get back to you. If the popularity of "Chess Soul" is good, we will also find an animation company on the same level as "Long Yao". Murakami bowed slightly, "We will continue to talk about the specific contract matters tomorrow, what do you think?" ”

Now only a verbal agreement has been reached, in fact, there are still many details to be dealt with later, most of which are related to funding, and neither side dares to be sloppy.

"That's fine, as long as Mr. Murakami has time. By the way, when will Mr. Murakami go back? ”

After a brief exchange with Murakami, Yokoi replied, "In three days...... Mr. Bao, we would like to meet with Mr. Shen. If it is a simultaneous serialization, we also hope to know about Mr. Shen's situation. ”

"Huh? Such...... No problem, Lao Shang, do you have time now? Bao Jiyi asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Shang Haozhi said.

"Then you will take the two guests and go to Teacher Shen's place, right?" Bao Jiyi patted Shang Haozhi on the shoulder, and then said to Yokoi apologetically, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany the two of you." ”

"Thank you."

Yokoi and Murakami stood up from their seats again and bowed deeply to Bao Jiyi.

The group left the chairman's office, and Shang Haozhi secretly told Wang Wenhong and asked him to inform Shen Xin that he was waiting for him in the parking lot.

Wang Wenhong nodded, and after the three of them entered the elevator, he dialed Shen Xin's phone.

Shen Xin is feeling uncomfortable now, he hasn't slept much all night, but he is sleepy during the day, but he can't sleep.

The three assistants below are very energetic, and he can only grit his teeth and persevere, otherwise, his progress will be caught up.

I had just finished drawing a page of line drawings and was about to take a break, when my phone rang in a drawer.

Shen Xin took out a piece of paper, wiped the ink off his hand, and then connected the phone.

"Brother Wang, is there something wrong?"

"I should ask you that. Are you okay now? ”

"Paint."

"Is work intense?"

"It's fine." Shen Xin glanced downstairs, the work progress of the assistants was not slow, "Do you have anything to do?" ”

"Wait a while, it should only be more than an hour, Mr. Shang, and Toru Murakami, go back to your studio." Wang Wenhong stood by the elevator switch, pressed the downward button, and waited for the elevator to come up.

Toru Murakami...... Who is it? Shen Xin was confused.

"The editor-in-chief of Shonen Leap, and an editor, is coming soon. You prepare a little, at least clean it up. ”

Shen Xin was a little dazed.

Editor-in-chief of Shonen Leap? What is he here for?

As soon as Shen Xin wanted to ask, there was a "beep" sound on the phone.

"Hey, hey......" After Wang Wenhong entered the elevator, he shouted twice, but he noticed that the phone was disconnected, so he put away the phone depressedly.

"Teacher Shen, what's the matter?" Ma Ning looked up at Shen Xin.

"Brother Wang said that the editor-in-chief of "Young Leap" is coming, let's clean up." Shen Xin came to the fence and explained to several assistants.

"Huh? Shonen Leap? You're not going to introduce "Chess Soul", are you? Lu Ning said in surprise.

"It shouldn't be ...... "Chess Soul" has only been serialized for half a year, and it has only gained a little fame in China...... Is it really the introduction of "Chess Soul". Ma Ning was only halfway through his words before he changed his tone.

If it weren't related to "Chess Soul", the editor-in-chief of "Young Leap" wouldn't have to come over.

"That'...... Do we clean? Gao Hang asked in a low voice.

"Well, you'll see what to do, right? Just sweep the ground a little, and there is no need to do 'face engineering', the most important thing is to work. Shen Xin yawned and returned to his seat.
