376. Aura
When he arrived at the office, Director Jiang invited Liang Yu and Huang Yuan to sit down on the sofa opposite, took off his coat, explained to the female employees outside, and asked her to make coffee and come in.
Closing the door, Director Jiang quickly opened the empty space, and said with a smile: "This ghost weather is really hot." ”
Others are middle-aged, and their bodies are a little blessed, and they must not be less exposed to cigarettes and alcohol, so they are afraid of heat and cold. Of course, it's the dog days of July, and it's the hottest time of the year, and he's wearing such a set of tight overalls outside, and it's really hot to compare his heart to his heart.
Director Jiang picked up the cardboard on the table and fanned the wind, Liang Yu and Huang Yuan also smiled quietly, and waited for the air conditioner to cool down the room temperature and the assistant brought the coffee in, before starting today's topic.
"Teacher Yuliang's reputation is really read many times, I really didn't expect such a famous author to be such a girl, a talented girl, and a talented woman with both talent and appearance!" Director Jiang sent a lot of nonsense and no money, although if it wasn't for Huang Yuan's reminder just now, he wouldn't even be able to call the other party's name, but even so, this kind of hypocritical social rhetoric and polite words are also the basis of business communication, and Director Jiang can be said to be well versed in this aspect.
The so-called producer, although it is also an important part of animation film and television, but the real filming depends on supervision, and the painting is naturally done by painters, their main job is to negotiate contracts with relevant parties, he himself may not know anything about comics and animation, but as long as he can bring sponsorship, let the funds be in place, and the movie will be released in as many theaters as possible, and he is a qualified and competent producer.
As for whether the effect is a masterpiece or a bad movie, it has nothing to do with the producer, you can talk to the director about everything.
lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, Director Jiang also put away his joke face, and planned to do serious things. He went to the drawer and rummaged through it, then put a stack of copywriting that had been prepared a long time ago on the table, and said: "We've talked about it before, don't dare to brag about anything else, but the only thing I can guarantee is that we are definitely the most 'sincere' among everyone." If there are no problems, let's settle this matter, shall we? Mr. Yuliang is so talented, your company cooperates with us, it is a strong combination, and it will definitely be able to achieve good results. ”
Liang Yu and Huang Yuan glanced at each other.
Although it seems that this Director Jiang is warm and hospitable, has anyone noticed that this thing is not quite right?
Liang Yu and Huang Yuan didn't even have the production team, even the director or anything, they had already let themselves sign a contract here, if it was a newcomer who had just debuted and didn't understand anything, at first glance, the other party was willing to pay so much money to buy my copyright to do animation, it was really "full of sincerity", maybe they signed the contract under the smile of the other party.
But Huang Yuan is an old editor, and Liang Yu is not a newcomer who has never seen the wind and waves, this way of signing a contract clearly exudes an ugly atmosphere of a capitalist - I bought this thing, what to do with it in the future is my business, you don't care, take this money and get out, if you are happy, I will share a little reward with you.
Although the description may be a little too straightforward or sinister, it is generally necessary to know that after the author's copyright is sold, the author himself has no right to inquire about the practical situation of selling the copyright, unless the kind of malicious slander and infringement of the original work causes adverse social impact, or the author himself indicates that he will participate in the adaptation and production when signing the contract.
In reality, there are many examples of animations that have been adapted beyond recognition, causing anger among fans, and helplessness for the author, which are all lessons from the past.
Therefore, a conscientious team usually has to negotiate once before cooperating, and show the author the team from the other party's director to the screenwriter and the original artist, just like the previous "Chess Soul" animation, a little more intimate, the other party will also ask the author what specific requirements he has, and even try to do it according to the author's requirements.
But this time, there was nothing, and in front of Liang Yu and Huang Yuan, there was only a license contract marked with a lot of value, and a smiling face like a wolf.
Huang Yuan felt that it didn't matter how long you let yourself wait here, but there was no compromise on this matter, he was afraid that Liang Yu didn't have this awareness, so he hurriedly said: "Director Jiang, it's still too early to talk about the contract, we don't even know your specific situation, for example, how much money you should come up with to shoot this animation, and if so, which supervisor will direct it, and so on, I think there are still many details that need to be negotiated." ”
"Haven't we talked about this before?" Director Jiang interrupted Huang Yuan's words and asked rhetorically, and the smile disappeared from his face.
Huang Yuan refused to retreat here: "Last time, I just preliminarily explained the intention of cooperation, and the specific interview was originally made." ”
"What a headache," Director Jiang scratched his head with his fingers, and was thinking about how to deal with this side when suddenly a phone call came in, he said to Huang Yuan and Wang Jie Wait a minute, and his face was full of smiles at the moment of connection: "Yo, Mr. Wang, long time no see, if you say, that thing, of course, it will definitely give you the best team......"
The phone call was so long, it took more than 5 minutes, and finally the other party said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely do what you tell you." Hung up the phone with such a compliment.
Compared with the attitude of the son who answered the phone before to coax his father, the temperature difference between Liang Yu and Huang Yuan was immediately apparent, although a shrewd businessman would never show impatience on his face, but judging from the fact that he no longer disdained to make excuses, he was somewhat unhappy.
"I said, there are really few companies willing to offer this price in this contract, I'm not saying that there is no higher, but ......" He actually wants to say that you are not worthy of a higher price, but this will offend people, he still held back: "We will definitely do this for you properly, after all, win-win is the king, what are we going to spend a lot of money to buy something that is not profitable, it must be vigorously promoted and carefully made, you can leave this to us to do......"
Huang Yuan frowned, and was about to open his mouth to argue, but found that Liang Yu on the side pulled his sleeve.
Huang Yuan turned his head and glanced at Liang Yu, and found that Liang Yu had already stood up, and said with a smile: "We have seen your sincerity, but I personally think it is better to let this matter go, after all, there is a saying called shopping around, and we still have two here that we haven't visited, please bear with me." ”
Director Jiang wiped his face with his hands, propped his hands on the table, and his face became gloomy: "Hmm...... That's the truth, but little girl, you must firmly grasp the opportunity in front of you, otherwise, sometimes there will be no store in this village. ”
The threat in his eyes was quite heavy, and he thought that a little girl who didn't know anything about the world would definitely have no opinions and couldn't withstand such pressure, but he didn't expect Liang Yu to smile even more.
"Thank you for your advice, but I think it's easy to be blinded by just looking at the front of you, and you can't see the world behind you."
Director Jiang crooked his mouth, but didn't say anything after all.
Watching Liang Yu and Huang Yuan get up and say goodbye, after the door closed, he angrily swept away the documents on the table, and spat: "What the hell, Lao Tzu entertained you with a good voice and was still blind, heh, you will regret crying after missing this opportunity!" ”
