There is no shortage of money.

Even if he was a little worried when he invested in DreamWorks and the animation of "The Peerless Twins", with the fire of Tianlong and Luding, as well as the large amount of follow-up royalties and manuscript fees, even if Sun Peng lost everything, he was not afraid.

Satisfying your own ideas comes first now.

See if the original high-quality animation can make money and how much money it can make, this is what Sun Peng wants to know the most.

And in his opinion, things don't have to be bad.

I'm also a big bull with millions of fans, and martial arts is getting more and more popular now, is the first martial arts animation really so unbearable? The world is so strict about copyright protection, if you set a not too high price for the whole cartoon, such as ten yuan or something, there should be many people willing to spend this money, right?

After all, those who like animation now are not necessarily much less than those who like online texts.

Besides, even if the animation fee can't recover the cost, then there is still follow-up adaptation income, and even the follow-up income of ten songs, Sun Peng is confident that he will earn back all the money he lost!

"Peerless Twins" has this willful qualification.

Sun Peng just wants to try whether the martial arts after he gets out of the Internet can continue to sell well, and at the same time experiment to see if his cartoons can recover the cost, or how much the cost can be recovered!

So even though Hou Qingqing and Chen Muchen were worried, and even said that he was messing around, but after Sun Peng explained and comforted them, they finally reluctantly agreed. Of course, this is also because they were the first people to see "The Peerless Twins", and they were also the first to listen to those songs and watch the completed sixteen episodes of animation, so they have a lot of confidence in these things.

After the plan is decided, the rest is Chen Muchen's business.

But although it's just an original animation, it's easy to talk about Sun Peng's name, after all, this guy is also a registered character in Golden Eagle Video. It's just that this time Golden Eagle Video didn't invest or help, so Chen Muchen didn't just go online on one of their websites, and contacted three mainstream video websites in one go, including Station S, which is fond of animation, and quickly negotiated the conditions......

Before you know it, the year is coming to an end again.

rejected the invitation of Ma Boyuan and Zhao Chusheng to participate in the domestic music festival, and also refused Luo Cheng's invitation to go to the United States to attend the award ceremony, Sun Peng stayed in the capital and patiently produced the promotional film of "The Peerless Double Pride"!

Although he is still a small supporting role, after half a year of tempering, he is becoming more and more familiar with animation production, so when he proposed to make a one-minute animation trailer, Hou Qingqing agreed without hesitation. And squeezed out two people from the limited number of people to help him, and at the same time, other colleagues will also give full support when needed.

In just two or three minutes, Sun Peng spent ten days!

This is still a situation where the personnel are already familiar with it, and the soundtrack has already been prepared, otherwise it will be difficult to say even if it is ten days!

However, after watching this trailer, Hou Qingqing, who was originally a little uneasy, was also a lot more relieved.

Two words, wonderful!

And in addition to the wonderful scenes and the same exciting music, more importantly, Sun Peng showed the audience the fate of the twins in this trailer, and also set up the most gripping suspense! Even though they themselves have already read the whole book, watching this trailer still swells up the urge to watch it again......

"I have discussed with the three major websites, and it will be launched at 7 p.m. on Friday in the first week after the Spring Festival!"

The day before New Year's Day, Chen Muchen made a phone call to Sun Peng.

At noon on the same day, Zheng Ye of Shuxiang Publishing House also excitedly gave a conclusion: "Bai Da, although the arrangement of the printing house is very full before the Spring Festival, and there is a long holiday, we guarantee that at least 50,000 sets of "Peerless Double Pride" can be delivered to the hands of major distributors before the Spring Festival!" And it is also guaranteed that they will be placed on the bookshelf in the first week after the Spring Festival according to our arrangement! ”

"Thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, Sun Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

You're all set!

picked up the phone again and found Han Feng's number, which had already been dialed, but Sun Peng immediately hung up. Looking at the date, Sun Peng shook his head and decided to let Han Feng, who was already anxious during this time, have a slightly more comfortable New Year's Day holiday......

"Ding-dong......"

Just then, the doorbell rang.

went out to open the door, Sun Peng welcomed Chen Ruoyi, who was carrying a big schoolbag, in, and said with a smile: "Have you eaten?" If you haven't eaten it, I'll get you some? ”

"I've eaten, I've eaten."

Wiping her sweat in the winter, Chen Ruoyi shook her head a little restrainedly.

After some greetings, Chen Ruoyi entered the house and sat down, Chen Ruoyi couldn't wait to take out the results of the past few months from her bag: "Teacher Sun, these are the five picture books we have made, one abridged version, and four detailed editions...... But I'm sorry, maybe it's a little bit worse than "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", if only Ruonan would be willing to help......"

"Haha, don't care, it's already good!"

While taking the original picture book, Sun Peng shook his head with a smile and said.

Being able to finish drawing five picture books in such a short time, Sun Peng is already very satisfied, as for the quality itself, Sun Peng has not read it before, it is definitely worse than "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe", but the difference is limited, at least it is enough to take it out for the children!

After a rough look, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction.

The quality of the first book in the front is indeed a little worse, but as Chen Ruoyi and her assistants become more and more proficient in running-in, the quality has obviously increased a lot, especially the last one is already very satisfying.

So after reading it, I felt that there was no problem, Sun Peng nodded and smiled: "Excuse me, did you bring the electronic manuscript?" ”

"Brought it, it's all in there!"

Hurriedly took out a small USB flash drive, and Chen Ruoyi handed it to Sun Peng.

After plugging in the computer and checking it out, making sure that there were no missing pages, and the resolution of the pictures and so on also met his requirements, Sun Peng took out his mobile phone to transfer money to Chen Ruoyi as soon as possible: "The remaining 300,000 remuneration will arrive immediately, you can check it first!" ”

He understands the girl's mood at this time.

After a few busy months, I worked hard to draw five books, isn't it just this series of numbers? And as a picture book writer who originally had ideals, of course, watching his good friends work hard for their own works every day, but he can only paint for other people's creativity, this mood is not so pleasant, right?

The best consolation is to transfer money immediately!

After checking his account with trembling hands, Chen Ruoyi's face finally showed a look of joy, and she thanked again and again: "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Sun!" ”

With this income, she finally has the confidence to make her life better.

"You're welcome, I should thank you!"

Shaking his head, Sun Peng smiled gently.

He did give her a reward beyond his own level, but in the same way, Sun Peng also gained what he wanted! Let's not talk about the prospects of this set of "Frozen", after all, movies drive the sales of picture books on the earth, and there are no such advantages in this world, but the sales of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" are really there.

It was reprinted twice, and the entire set has sold more than 200,000 copies!

Don't compare the sales of the original on the planet, after all, different worlds and different eras, there is no comparison at all. Being able to sell 200,000 copies in the highly competitive children's book market, in addition to the charm of the story itself, is even more important with the help of Sun Peng's fans.

Otherwise, it would be a good level to sell tens of thousands of units a year.

And Sun Peng believes that with the passage of time and the accumulation of word-of-mouth, "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe" will be an excellent picture book that will sell for a long time, just like the earth, even if the sales cannot be so high......

So after thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng spoke: "Ruoyi, do you have any plans after completing this work?" Keep drawing your own picture books? ”

"Well, maybe......"

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ruoyi's excited mood just now slowly dropped a little.

I have worked hard for several years, but I have never seen any hope of success.

Especially the ability to make up stories by herself, after seeing Sun Peng's two picture books, Chen Ruoyi became more and more unconfident. And she knows better than Sun Peng that there are thousands of people in the world who can draw picture books, but how many can be successfully published and successful in the end?

But......

At least Yu Ruonan is working hard, and he has chosen another path.

Looking at Chen Ruoyi, whose expression was a little dull in an instant, Sun Peng also sighed secretly. To be honest, from a personal point of view, he also admires girls like Yu Ruonan more, but he also knows that in this era when you are excellent and others are better, many things can be done not only by hard work, so what's the problem with a choice like Chen Ruoyi?

After pondering for a moment, Sun Peng nodded and said, "So, are you still interested in continuing to cooperate in the future?" I mean, you and I, a long-term cooperation! ”

"Long-term cooperation? Specifically? ”

Hearing this, Chen Ruoyi hurriedly asked.

"It's very simple, five years, at least one set of picture books every year!"

Stretching out his right hand, Sun Peng said seriously: "I provide original stories, characters, and scene settings, and you can turn them into picture books like "Frozen"!" If you are willing to cooperate and ensure that my picture book is absolutely preferred, I can increase the price of the original art per page, of course, you can also choose a part of the cash plus the subsequent book royalties, this can be flexible. ”

"One set per year? Five years? ”

didn't think about the question of cash or royalties, just listening to the previous conditions, Chen Ruoyi's eyes had already lit up. As for saying that he was secretly sad that he was not as good as Yu Ruonan just now, and he didn't have the courage to pursue his dreams, he was left behind in an instant at this time.
