Chapter 276: Translation is the bridge that maintains the friendship between the two countries
Song Mu hasn't paid much attention since he finished "Plan D".
After all, "Plan D" is a prepaid product, and she got enough money at the beginning of production, and as for the ratings later, to put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with her.
What made Song Mu entangled at this moment was what the elite group should do next, or what to do.
Haishi Fine Arts Film Studio has raised enough money, the computers ordered from Fruit Company have all been put in place, and the people who work as "temporary workers" for the elite group have returned to their original posts and directly engaged in the production of "The Truman Show".
Song Mu doesn't have any good ideas here, and even if he has a good idea, he won't be able to get people from the studio to come over and work for them in the short term.
"Collar. Director~ Haven't you thought of a good script? Liu Xiaoping sat not far from Song Mu, drawing a limited edition doll in her hand, and complained to Song Mu, who was also drawing dolls: "We've been painting for a few days, and if there is no direction, I feel like I'm going to become a toy worker who specializes in sitting dolls." β
"Can artistic creation come as soon as it is said?" Li Xuelin habitually opened his mouth and replied directly with the opposite opinion: "Besides, even if we have a book now, where will anyone do it for us?" The "Truman Show" in the factory has just started, and it is the time when people are needed. The guide even goes to find the big collar. The guide, the leader, and the guide probably won't send someone over. I guess we'll get it. The director wants to take advantage of this time to polish the thoughts in his heart, isn't it. Guide? β
Li Xuelin's bright licking posture made Song Mu enjoy it very much, she scolded with a smile: "As far as you know, if you go on like this, be careful to be a single dog for the rest of your life!" Isn't it, Xiaoping?! β
"Huh?" Liu Xiaoping's face flushed, and her momentum was inexplicably lower: "He's ...... Is he single or not, what does it matter to me~ Lead. Why are you asking me all this? β
Liu Xiaoping's youngest daughter's pie immediately caused a lot of people to laugh, which made Liu Xiaoping almost turn back into a dominatrix on the spot, but fortunately, the phone in the office rang at the right time.
As soon as everyone saw that it was the phone on Song Mu's desk, they shut up and quieted down.
Song Mu put down the doll and pen in his hand, picked up the phone and asked, "Hello?" This is Song Mu, the elite group of Haishi Fine Arts Film Studio, who are you looking for? β
βHelloοΌβ An English greeting came from the other end of the line.
The voice was familiar but unfamiliar, and she didn't even hear who it was for a while.
"Wait! I'm looking for a translator! Song Mu didn't care whether the other party could understand it or not, and whether they had a translator or not, he still took the earpiece away from his ear in the next sentence of Chinese, and motioned for Han Yangqiu to pick up the extension to join, and then picked up the phone again.
When he put the earpiece to his ear again, Han Yangqiu had already finished greeting others. Han Yangqiu's domineering president-like voice came from the earpiece: "Mr. Smith." β
Mr. Smith?
Song Mu raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't say anything yet, and while she took the earpiece away from her ear again, this time she also covered the microphone with her palm, so that it couldn't receive the voice from her side.
Han Yangqiu's eyes have never left Song Mu since he picked up the phone, and when he saw her cautious look, he also covered the microphone with his hand.
"W, the one who must?" Song Mu asked uncertainly, after all, he hadn't had much contact with him recently, and he suddenly called, which made Song Mu a little confused.
Han Yangqiu nodded silently in affirmation, and Song Mu changed his enthusiastic voice to Woody Smith on the other end of the phone: "Hello Mr. Smith, I don't know what happened to call today?" If you're here to rush for the third animated film, you're ready to hang up, and we haven't started preparations yet. β
Woody Smith: "......"
It's also a long-distance transoceanic journey, so it doesn't need to be so straightforward, right?
He laughed awkwardly twice to ease the atmosphere, and then said, "Miss Song, we stayed up until this time today to call, not for your third animated movie, but for the "Plan D" that is now on fire in the country. β
"Plan D?" Song Mu was stunned for a moment, and then another word popped out: "Fire? β
The fire of "Plan D" can be said to be reasonable, the original version is so popular in the original world, and there is no reason why this super-optimized version of yourself is not popular, right?
It's just that in the animation of the national fire, what does it matter to W Bi Pictures? Actually let a big guy like Woody Smith work overtime to contact him? Is it ......?
"Mr. Smith," Song Mu felt that he had grasped the key point of the problem, so he explained to him directly: "Even if Plan D is popular in the country, our side can't meddle in anything. I don't know if you have understood, "Plan D" is a customized product of Chinese enterprises......"
"I know, I know," Woody Smith guessed that Song Mu's thinking had gone astray, and he hurriedly grabbed the conversation and said, "In fact, it is precisely because of full understanding that we found your side......"520
Through Woody Smith's next description, Song Mu learned that "Plan D" is only a third of the way through screenings, and it has once again detonated the craze of night racing, the so-called "road race walker", in Yueguo.
People who weren't very keen on speed started to try to change cars, and people who weren't interested in driving started learning driver's licenses. Those who have a driver's license but still don't like racing cars have put all kinds of decorative stickers on their cars.
The subsidiary company of W Bi Pictures in Yueguo seized this change in the fastest time and fed it back to the headquarters in the far United States.
The racing culture of the United States is long and strong, and the headquarters of W Bi Pictures held a relevant research meeting as soon as it received the feedback.
After some research and investigation, they felt that this "Plan D" also had potential that could not be ignored in the United States.
So they decided to contact the copyright owner of "Plan D" to see if there was a possibility of introducing it to the United States.
Who knew that W Bi Pictures worked hard and finally got in touch with the real copyright owner Fengtai, and got an unexpected news - Fengtai only owns all the copyrights of "Plan D" in the country, except for the territory of the country, the copyright of "Plan D" in any other country and region in the world is owned by the elite group of Huaguo Haishi Fine Arts Film Studio.
"Since I've worked with Miss Song many times," Woody Smith on the phone explained with a wry smile, "and this mission has been assigned to me again......
With this explanation, Song Mu had a general understanding of what was happening now.
She guessed that "Plan D" was on fire in Congress, but she didn't guess that the United States would be interested in it.
"Mr. Smith," after a moment of silence, Song Mu threw out the questions he couldn't understand: "You also know, "Plan D" is strictly an advertising animation made by the collective money of the Chinese car companies, except for a hop country car that is needed for the plot, there is no non-national car, is this kind of animation really promising in the United States?" β
"Well...... Woody Smith struggled for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth: "Actually, I didn't attend the seminar they held. However, judging from the materials in my hands, it seems that there is a certain degree of feasibility.
Although some politicians in the United States are now putting on a show, saying that they will smash the products of the United States or something, it cannot be denied that the share of the products of the United States, especially the automobiles of the United States, is very high, and Fengtai once surpassed all brands and became the highest-selling car in the United States.
"If nothing else, let's talk about the protagonist model in "Plan D", the Trulno three-door GTAPEX, the American version of this car is called the Colora GT-S, and the ownership rate is very high in the United States, and the same is true of other Chinese cars in the film.
"So in our opinion, even if the characters in "Plan D" are all from the country, because of the identity of the vehicle, the attraction of car modification and racing cars, and Miss Song's full screenwriting and directing ability, it can also cause a wave in the United States as much as in the country."
Song Mu nodded and said: "I didn't expect the automobile market in the United States to be like this, so it's really a bit embarrassing." β
What she said is naturally not the "Plan D" cartoon itself, but the periphery of "Plan D".
Is it a car model? Character model? Or something like decorative stickers? It seems like all of them are good......
Do you want to ask Shen Chang what he thinks in a while?
Just when she was thinking nonsense, Woody Smith's voice and Han Yangqiu's simultaneous translation came from the phone again: "Miss Song, we will definitely guarantee that there is definitely a trick." In order to dispel your concerns, we will not only take over the dubbing and publicity work as before, but also be willing to replace it with a guarantee agreement instead of a sharing agreement. β
"Oh?" Song Mu couldn't help but let out a puzzle, "Guarantee agreement? β
Woody Smith thought that she didn't understand the guarantee agreement, so she took the initiative to explain: "The guarantee contract is how much money is promised to you, and if you accompany it, this part of the money is still owned by you; If it is earned, after deducting the income of this part of the money, the rest will be divided with you again. β
"Uh...... I actually know what a guaranteed ...... is" Song Mu smacked his lips and said, "Mr. Smith, I need to remind you that "Plan D" is an animated series......
Who knew that Woody Smith's voice was also confused: "So what? β
Song Mu: "......"
So the series has a chicken share!? Aren't they all thrown at the TV station, and the money from the TV station is over?!
When facing international friends, Song Mu was embarrassed to spit out the old trough directly, and she asked in relatively euphemistic words: "What you broadcast on Mi Guo TV, is it still not divided?" β
"Of course it's a lump sum?" Woody Smith replied with a question mark, "So what?" β
"So there's a chicken share?!" The old trough still ran out uncontrollably, Song Mu felt that it was not appropriate to speak to international friends like this, so he hurriedly added to Han Yangqiu: "Old Han! Give me a point of harmony in translation! β
