Chapter 95: Serving as a Producer (3/4)
Along the way, Xu Zheng sat quietly in the co-pilot's seat thinking about things, while Yi Qing asked Wang Lang what game it was called Honkai Impact 3 while driving.
However, Wang Lang has always been hesitant and has not said anything vaguely.
Although he was sitting in a Porsche 911, he knew that Yi Qing was not short of money. But if this broken game hadn't entered the pit too early and charged too much money, it would have abandoned the pit a long time ago.
So he didn't want Yi Qing to follow him to eat SHI, so he naturally didn't want to benefit the other party. Yi Qing was speechless, and planned to go home by himself.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the headquarters of Station B.
And the three of them had already made an appointment, so they soon met Yu Wangsheng.
Originally, it was the animation department's business to invest in animation, and he just had to look at the signing of the contract. But because Xu Zheng is the champion of the Spring Cup, it is more special. And the adaptation of the novel "Zodiac" made Jiang Qingcheng value it, so Yu Wangsheng also pushed the boat to receive it himself.
And when Yu Wusheng saw Wang Lang, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Mr. Wang? Then I looked at the other party's dress, with long sleeves on the upper body and beach pants on the bottom, and I couldn't help but be ashamed... What a shabby look.
For Wang Lang, Yu Wangsheng is known. When the people in the animation department signed the "Zodiac" animation copyright contract with the other party, he met each other. Of course, what impressed him was that the other party looked like five big and three coarse, but it was a positive tone, and the sense of disobedience was too much.
Of course, it's just Yu Wangsheng's unilateral view. Wang Lang had never seen Yu Wangsheng, so as soon as the other party spoke, he was curious, "Mr. Yu, do you know me?" ”
"I saw it last time I signed the animation copyright contract for "Zodiac".
Hearing this, Wang Lang nodded and didn't speak, he also came to sign the contract this time, but it was a cooperation contract.
However, Yu Wusheng thought crookedly, he thought that Wang Lang came over to want to know how his work was adapted. But when Xu Zheng told Wang Lang that he was also one of the investors, Yu Wangsheng couldn't help but look sideways, but he didn't expect Xu Zheng to know Wang Lang?
After all, it is still very troublesome to get an author to invest in the animation rights that he has already sold.
"This is..."Yu Wangsheng looked at Yi Qing who had entered the room, and couldn't help but be curious.
Without waiting for Xu Zheng to speak, Yi Qing smiled slightly and introduced himself, "I am Yi Qing from Spring and Summer Animation, and the company has taken a fancy to Mr. Xu's adaptation of "Zodiac" and thinks that it has investment value, so it plans to invest. ”
The corners of Xu Zheng's mouth twitched, Spring and Summer Company, this name is too casual. He believes that the words spring and summer must have been expanded by Yi Qing with the words four seasons.
Yu Wusheng nodded, no matter what Yi Qing said was true or not, as long as the money was in place. There are too many new animation companies in the animation industry now, but very few can survive.
Every industry is not easy to make a profit.
After understanding the situation clearly, Yu Wusheng looked at Xu Zheng and said with a smile, "Xu Zheng, your budget is nine million, but now you have only raised eight million, so there is still one million, what do you mean?" ”
According to Yu Wangsheng's idea, eight million to produce "Zodiac" is more than enough. However, he can understand Xu Zheng's thoughts, every animation director wants to perfectly show the concept of an animation, so there is basically no upper limit in terms of production costs. But there is a limit to capital, so every experienced animation director must have a trade-off.
"I'm going to invest a million myself." This is Xu Zheng's plan for a long time, originally he planned to take 8 million to produce it directly, but after thinking about it, he had to cut some scenes, and this is his first time directing TV animation, he naturally wants to do his best to be perfect.
Anyway, he won the championship in the Spring Cup, with a prize of 1.5 million.
"I have one request, though."
Yu Wangsheng was stunned for a moment, and then said curiously, "You say." Yi Qing and Wang Lang also looked at Xu Zheng curiously.
"In addition to directing 'Zodiac,' I also wanted to be a producer." Xu Zheng said with confidence on his face, "I adapted this plot, and I basically have a good idea." So the position of producer, I want to take on it myself. I hope others don't interfere with my directing. ”
Xu Zheng knew that at this time, he had to be high-profile and confident. Otherwise, if you cower, the identity of the producer is no play at all.
Generally speaking, the producer is identified by the investor, but now Xu Zheng wants to take on two positions, but Yu Wangsheng is embarrassed.
Every animation director has his own paranoia about the work he directs. will do their work perfectly, but there are so many funds, so there must be trade-offs.
In addition to his own affairs, the producer always supervises and reminds the animation director of the direction of the use of funds, where it exceeds expectations, where it needs to be changed, and where it does not meet expectations...
It can be said that the producer is sent by the investor to suppress the animation director in disguise, so that the animation director does not swell.
Every director doesn't want to be pressed, and powerful animation directors will look for like-minded producers to join the studio and work with them to make animation. And some are wearing two positions, such as Jiang Qingcheng.
Xu Zheng couldn't find a like-minded producer, so he imagined Jiang Qingcheng wearing two hats.
Yu Wusheng smiled bitterly, "Xu Zheng, you are directing TV animation for the first time, and if you have an experienced producer to assist you, you can also learn from the experience and save less detours." ”
Yu Wangsheng obviously didn't know that Xu Zheng had already absorbed the directing experience of another world-renowned animation director, so in terms of directing animation, he was very experienced, and he would not be inferior to Jiang Qingcheng at all.
This is also the reason why he has to wear two hats, otherwise he would have preferred a producer to help him in his first time directing animation.
Xu Zheng was silent. Seeing this, Yu Wusheng frowned lightly and said, "I'm just one of the investors, if you want to do two jobs, you still need the consent of the other two investors." ”
"I don't have any opinions, everything is based on Brother Xu." Wang Lang was too void on the side, and when he heard this, he immediately spoke.
And Yi Qing also said with a hypocritical smile on his face, "Mr. Xu is experienced and can adapt a wonderful plot, so he will definitely not be bad in directing animation." ”
Yu Wusheng almost vomited blood, feeling that the two of you have long stood with Xu Zheng.
And Yi Qing's words are very spicy ears. If you can adapt a wonderful plot, you can direct an animation? What the hell theory?
Thinking about it, Yu Wusheng looked at Xu Zheng seriously and said, "Xu Zheng, do you know who the producer is this time?" Seeing that the three of them were curious, he said bluntly, "Director Jiang is very interested in your adaptation of "Zodiac", so he offered to be the producer of "Zodiac". ”
Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, but he still said firmly, "I still want to be a producer!" ”
