Chapter 288: Negotiations
After Shang Haozhi left, Bao Jiyi still kept smiling, and Long Tian was a little depressed.
Although Long Yao is one of the best in the animation industry in China, his volume is not an order of magnitude at all compared with "ComicFuture", let alone compared with Yishu culture.
After putting forward his opinion, Long Tian could only wait for Bao Jiyi and Shang Haozhi's answer for the time being.
After a while, Shang Haozhi pushed the door, and the two of them turned their heads at the same time.
Shang Haozhi pointed at Bao Jiyi twice, Bao Jiyi understood, and said to Long Tian with a smile: "Please wait for a while." ”
Then, Bao Jiyi stood up and followed Shang Haozhi to the door.
"What's the matter?"
"Dong Bao, how do you deal with this matter?"
"The life and death of the character?"
Shang Haozhi nodded.
"Well, how to say? Professional matters should be left to experts. I think so. You've been in the industry for a decade or two, and you have more experience than I do. To be honest, even if this animation loses money, it has nothing to do with us, we just need to do a good job of selling a single book. Moreover, even if there is no Long Yao, there are other companies, and there is no need to hang yourself from a tree. Bao Jiyi explained, "Who made the call just now?" ”
Yokoi ...... It is the editor of "Chess Soul" in District 11. ”
"Oh...... What's the matter with him? Bao Jiyi was also a little surprised.
"It's also "Chess Soul"...... Ahem, Sawei's matter, Orochi also wants to talk to us about it. ”
Bao Jiyi's expression immediately became cautious.
If it's just Long Yao, it doesn't matter, although the quality of Long Yao's animation is very high, it won't leave Long Yao, and he won't have to play.
When it comes to District 11, the situation is different, and he also wants to use "Chess Soul" to completely open the market in District 11.
Whether it is "Shonen Leap", the largest magazine in District 11, or Orochi, a famous animation company in District 11, it is very important to Yishu culture.
"Now?" Bao Jiyi hesitated.
"Now." Shang Haozhi nodded.
"They're already here?"
"Three-way video call." Shang Haozhi explained.
"It's okay, Long Tian and they are also here, then video conference." Bao Jiyi shrugged his shoulders, and then, he looked at Shang Haozhi again, "Old Shang, if you tell me the truth, I will know it first." ”
"You say."
"From your professional point of view, or from experience, what do you think of Zuowei's fate?"
Shang Haozhi's expression was solemn.
To be honest, if the object is Wang Yunze, he can support Wang Yunze without hesitation, but if the object is Shen Xin, he is a little unpredictable.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Shen Xin's level, but so far, except for the initial short comic, Shen Xin has not completed a complete comic.
If "Y's" was over, no matter what the ending was, he could pat his chest to support Shen Xin, but now he is a little hesitant.
The longer the comic, the more the manga artist's control over the work is tested, and inexperienced people may lose control.
But at this moment, Shang Haozhi can't hesitate, otherwise Bao Jiyi will be puzzled.
"I ...... Trust him. I believe in Mr. Shen's choice. Shang Haozhi said stubbornly, "Because ......"
Bao Jiyi waved his hand, "Just tell me the result, I know what to do." You have a good argument to convince the two groups of people in District 11. ”
"No problem." Shang Haozhi nodded.
The two of them re-entered the office, and Long Tian also put down the pure water, "Dong Bao, if it's inconvenient, let's make another appointment." ”
"Don't, Brother Long, it's better to hit the day than to choose a day." Bao Jiyi pushed the frame of the mirror and chuckled, ""Young Hi also has some opinions on "Chess Soul", so it's better to have a video meeting with all of us, what are the requirements, put it on the bright side." ”
Long Tian's eyes lit up, if District 11 was also involved, it might indeed make Shen Zheng change his mind.
After all, the capital side has the right to speak.
"Yes, then we ...... now"
"Don't worry, this is not the place to talk, this is only a notebook, the three of us can't squeeze into a small screen, right? We are also management, pay attention to our image, don't throw people abroad. Bao Jiyi reminded.
"Yes." Long Tian rubbed his nose in embarrassment, he had thought too little just now.
"Let's go." Bao Jiyi slapped the table, "Go to the conference room." ”
Bao Jiyi led Long Tian and Shang Haozhi to the conference room on the side, which was different from the previous conference room, this one was much smaller, and the table was also oval.
Shang Haozhi contacted the people in District 11, while Bao Jiyi turned on the computer and projector.
After a reversal, Murakami and Yokoi of "Shonen Leap", as well as Orochi's president Fukuda lunge, and translator Mitsurai Oi, appeared on the curtain.
Bao Jiyi didn't prepare a translator here, but the 11th district side could use Yokoi and Oi to build a bridge from it, so communication was not a problem.
However, due to the extra steps of translation, the communication between the two sides is not smooth.
After a brief greeting, the meeting got to the point.
"I want to hear Mr. Shang say that the follow-up to "Chess Soul" ...... That is to say, has Mr. Shen decided to let Zuo Wei disappear for this role, and is there any room for maneuver? Murakami said straight to the point.
"In the final analysis, "Chess Soul" is just a best-selling comic, and Zuo Wei is just a popular character...... Even if a popular character leaves, you shouldn't be in a hurry, right? Shang Haozhi was puzzled.
Long Yao Animation is anxious about this matter, he can understand.
The year before last, Long Yao Animation dug a big hole for itself, and now because of the remarkable achievements of "Chess Soul", Long Yao Animation has finally eased up.
Therefore, it is normal for them to care about the next plot of "Chess Soul".
It's not difficult to make an anime, but it's not so difficult to make an anime that sells well. Otherwise, Long Yao Animation would not have lost money because of its self-made animated movie.
"Young Hi is not, they definitely don't have financial pressure.
"Every year, our magazine holds a vote for the popularity of the magazine, which is to vote for the characters of all the works of the magazine." Murakami asked.
"Yes."
"Zuo Wei has the highest number of votes among all the characters and is the king of votes." Murakami said directly, "After the release of the anime, the average sales of a single book of "Chess Soul" was about 500,000 copies, so we didn't want to see an avalanche of "Chess Soul" and then affect the sales of the manga. ”
Shang Haozhi scratched his head.
Being able to get the first place among all the characters in "Young Leap" shows that Zuo Wei is a popular character in the entire 11 districts, and even, it is not excluded that some people become readers of "Chess Soul" because of Zuo Wei.
With an average sales of 500,000 copies of a single book, not to mention in District 11, even in Huaxia, it is a best-selling comic.
Taken together, these factors can be very cumbersome to deal with.
"There's one more thing I want to tell you." Murakami rubbed his hands together with a solemn expression.
"What?"
"We recommended Chess Soul to participate in the 'International Comics Awards'." Toru Murakami said solemnly.
