Chapter 208: Luo Tianwang's invitation
A meeting between the brothers and sisters finally broke up.
Although Hou Qingqing wanted to invite Li Han to join or cooperate with DreamWorks, and was willing to share the directing rights of martial arts animation with him, Li Han, who felt betrayed and deceived, scoffed at this, and then criticized the idea of doing original martial arts animation, as if this thing was a dead word, and strongly advised Hou Qingqing not to risk losing his current job.
As for Hou Qingqing, he was disappointed and secretly rejoicing.
has graduated for so many years, and she is naturally not the kind of person who will give up opportunities because of guilt, so although she feels a little sorry for Senior Brother Li Han, she will definitely not give up her thoughts because of this. And Li Han's attitude was so intense, but it made her feel a little relieved - now she finally doesn't have to share the dominance of animation with a third person.
Isn't it enough to have a boss and Sun Peng who added the original work?
So in fact, there is nothing wrong with the two of them, Li Han's loss and anger are normal, anyone who encounters this kind of thing is emotional, and it is normal to refuse because of self-esteem; Hou Qingqing's reaction was not inappropriate, when she encountered an opportunity to show her talents, she was already very particular about taking the initiative to invite Li Han.
Perhaps the only mistake was Sun Peng, who made the decision.
Because after communicating a few times, he felt that Li Han's thinking was too rigid and might not be able to produce what he wanted, so Sun Peng abandoned the mature commercial animation director and chose Hou Qingqing with a suitable style and a stronger experimental spirit. He didn't even tell Li Han directly, in fact, he had already prepared the money to start a company and make animations......
But then again, what's wrong with Sun Peng doing this?
The martial arts he wrote himself, his own money, is there a problem with choosing the animation director he wants? And if Li Han's contribution this time is nothing more than persuading Sun Peng to start doing it as soon as possible, it is not so great that he must feel guilty and must be compensated for getting rid of him, right?
There's nothing wrong with it!
So the next morning, after receiving a call from Hou Qingqing, after listening to her finish what happened last night, Sun Peng was silent for a long time, and sighed leisurely: "Since Senior Brother Li Han is not interested, forget it, just so we can also have less unnecessary interference...... But senior sister, in this case, you have to step up your efforts to poach people, why do you have to find a few commercial animation cattle to come in? Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything good! β
"Don't worry, I get it."
There was also silence on the other end of the phone, and Hou Qingqing replied in a sullen voice.
Tens of millions of people will be smashed into it, of course Sun Peng doesn't like to lose everything, so it is also necessary to pursue as much as possible to make the animation commercially successful. In this case, it is necessary to find some elites in the industry to help, after all, sometimes Sun Peng's confidence in Hou Qingqing is not really that strong......
After hanging up the phone, Sun Peng turned his head and shrugged at Xia Weiqing and smiled: "This is really troublesome to open a company, it's not enough to just have money, just a manpower problem will give you a headache!" β
ββ¦β¦ Isn't it enough to have money? β
Rolling his eyes, Xia Weiqing was speechless at this kid.
A few days ago, Sun Sun Peng suddenly found him and said that he wanted to ask him for help for a while to design and improve the characters and scenes of an animation, but Xia Weiqing actually refused, because he didn't feel that he had any interest in animation. However, when Sun Peng offered a much richer salary than the advertising company, and Zhao Jinxiang also nodded clearly, Xia Weiqing agreed after thinking about it for one night.
What's so bad about making a little more money?
And if you find that you are really not interested in it in the future, or if you are not suitable, you can go back to Jinhua advertising, it seems that it really has no impact as Sun Peng said......
However, Xia Weiqing was still stunned by Sun Peng's smashing tens of millions of dollars to make animation.
He still remembers the day two years ago, when Sun Peng first came to the company to report, and now it's only been two years, and people can take out tens of millions in one go...... Regardless of whether it is stupid to use tens of millions to make an animation, the ability to earn tens of millions in two years alone is enough to make Xia Weiqing feel that he has lived to a dog for the first half of his life!
"Stop talking, get to work!"
The more he thought about it, the more congested he became, Xia Weiqing decided to regain some confidence in painting, blinked his eyes and asked, "Xiaopeng, what about the martial arts you just wrote?" Send me a copy when you get back and read it, and I'll start designing characters and scenes for you...... Tsk, I've done it for you a few times and I'm pretty experienced now, so I'll make a few for you first. β
In the trailer made by Sun Peng earlier, the pictures in it were all helped by Xia Weiqing.
"Hehe, there's no hurry."
Waving his hand, Sun Peng smiled slightly: "I've finished writing the book, but you have to come here to read it." But for now, let's not rush to do this one, I want to do the trailer of the next book first, let's get it done first, and then talk ......"
β¦β¦
For the next period of time, everyone was busy with their own work.
Not to mention that Sun Peng and they were busy running the company, not to mention that Li Han, who was still angry when he woke up, couldn't help but complain to the circle about Hou Qingqing's inauthenticity everywhere, and openly and secretly expressed his disfavor to DreamWorks.
Negotiations with Sunflower are going to be in touch, and two or three other publishing houses are also in touch.
After grinding for a week, Sunflower finally raised the royalty by twelve points, exactly the same as the original Condor shooting; And he also gave up the intention of asking for copyright, as long as there was a priority. But after the contract period was 12 years, they refused to lower it.
Sun Peng's bottom line is ten years longer than that of the Condor Shooting.
The so-called length of the publishing contract is actually very particular. If it's an ordinary new author, they don't really care about how long the contract is, because they haven't thought about fighting for better conditions when it expires in the future or anything - if they can publish a physical book, they can brag all over the world, so why in the future?
But Sun Peng is different, he is stingy.
Knowing that what he took out was a classic on the earth, and the cumulative sales of more than 80 million cattle books, the longer he signed it, the more he naturally suffered, after all, there were only twelve royalties!
But for publishers, the longer the better.
Regardless of whether the publishing house has to invest resources in promoting these books after they are released, but if it is a good book, the longer it is, the more famous it will be, and then only the cost of printing these old books will bring pure profits. What's more, there are many routines for classic books to make money, such as a hardcover edition, a pocket book, or an author's refined version or something, so adhering to the principle of casting a wide net, the publishing house wants to sign the contract for more Chinese New Year's Eve than 20 years.
So looking for two other publishing houses, Sun Ya also wanted to put a little pressure on Sunflower.
Anyway, it's good to take it slowly.
Sun Ya, who is a lawyer in this regard, is much better than the eldest sister, if it weren't for Sun Peng's somewhat anxious fulfillment of the promise made to the children in the welfare home, Sun Ya's attitude would not be too tough...... It's normal for lawyers to have a lawsuit that drags on for more than two or three years!
Just when Sun Peng's second sister had a headache balancing work and her agent's part-time job, a phone call came to her mobile phone at the end of April: "Hello, is it Mr. Sun Peng's agent, Ms. Sun?" β
"Yes, I am!"
Quietly getting up and closing the door of the office, Sun Ya lowered her voice and said, "May I ask who you are?" Is there anything looking for me? β
After getting the confirmation, the other party immediately said very enthusiastically: "Hello Ms. Sun, I am Mr. Luo Cheng's agent Liu Huifang, we met last time we signed the contract...... Yes, I called you today to ask you to help me make an appointment with Mr. Sun Pengsun. Luo Cheng's new English album has been produced and will be released in two weeks, so I want to make an appointment to have another meal with Mr. Sun, and by the way, thank him for the songs he wrote, you see......"
"This is about to be released? So fast? β
After a pause, Sun Ya, who came back to her senses, hurriedly smiled: "I'm sorry, I can't reply to you right away, I have to ask Xiaopeng what he means first...... Would you like to call you back later? Or is it this call? β
"No, it's okay to call my phone...... Do you still have my mobile phone number on hand? β
The other party politely greeted him and hung up the phone.
"Ouch, Luo Tianwang!"
After putting the phone back on the table, Sun Ya spun around twice with some excitement.
The last time the song was sold by the eldest sister, they operated, although in the end Sun Ya was responsible for signing the contract, but Luo Cheng did not show up, and it was also the agent Liu Huifang who came forward. If the two of them meet this time, doesn't it mean that they can also meet Luo Tianwang?
Ouch, it's a little exciting to think about it!
Now she is only twenty-eight or nineteen years old, and Sun Ya, who has not completely dissipated her thoughts about chasing stars, pondered for a while, and immediately picked up her mobile phone and called her younger brother again: "Xiaopeng, have you had time recently......?"
