Chapter 177: Joining forces to create a world circle of Chinese comics!
As the deputy director of the Modu Art Film Studio, Wang Bairong has been actively seeking reform with the new director Yan since he took office.
No, in order to find the direction of reform, at the beginning of this year, the film studio and the other two parties reached a consensus and jointly established Yangcheng Times Animation, and the three parties have only one purpose, that is, to explore the development direction of the animation industry in the future to seek greater development.
However, the company has been established for several months, but it has not yet prepared a decent animation, which makes Wang Bairong, as the vice chairman, very anxious.
However, by chance, through his previous relationship, he learned that the "Animation King" magazine under the Modu People's Fine Arts Publishing House had recently published a comic book called "Qin Shi Mingyue's Sweeping the Six Kingdoms", and its sales were very gratifying.
And most importantly, the people at Toei Animation Company seem to be very interested in it.
So, while asking Lao Pan, who is the vice president of the company, to quickly write a letter to the author of the original work, he began to get in touch with the "Animation King" magazine through his colleagues here in the art film studio.
That's why we have today.
"Editor-in-chief Qu, Lao Zhang, Editor-in-chief Yang, you see, this is the manuscript I brought today, before, Lao Zhang has told us some information about the author, our idea is this, our side pays for it, and is responsible for the distribution of comics in Xiangjiang and the Chinese region in Southeast Asia, and the specific sketch work and other work are responsible for your side, what do you think?"
Wang Bairong asked Deputy General Manager Pan beside him to take out the manuscript and sketch, and then said.
"Director Wang, Mr. Pan, in fact, about cooperation, the leaders of our publishing house have already talked to me, and I don't have any problems here, and you have also provided ready-made drawings and book manuscripts, adapted into comics, it is very easy, but I still have a few questions, and I need Director Wang and Mr. Pan to answer one or two for me!"
Qu Lao looked at the sketch, but he glanced at Zhang Lao and Yang Lao, and when he saw that both of them nodded, he looked at Wang Bairong and said with a smile.
"Editor-in-Chief Qu, please say, we can answer, we will definitely answer you!" Wang Bairong seemed to have expected all this a long time ago, and said immediately.
"Hmm...... Then I'll just say, first of all, the issue of distribution, whether this is in the name of our publishing house, or in the name of ......"
"Naturally, in the name of both of us, of course this is in China, but if it is issued abroad with Xiangjiang, I'm sorry, I hope you can understand." Wang Bairong then explained.
Hearing this, Qu Lao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I understand, the second question, how does the original author reply, do we need to jointly send a letter to obtain each other's authorization?" What if people don't agree? ”
"This naturally has to be agreed by the original author, and the adaptation fee can also be appropriately increased, and I also want to meet the people who painted these sketches, I think the editor-in-chief Qu should also have such thoughts!" Speaking of this, Wang Bairong immediately looked at Qu Lao
Qu Lao suddenly smiled and nodded: "Yes, we do have this intention, to tell the truth, the person who painted these sketches undoubtedly has a deep foundation, Lao Zhang, the outline of your "Tassel of the Bright Moon in the Qin Period", as well as the sketch, I think it should be painted by the same person." ”
"Okay, I'll go get it!" Zhang Lao replied and left the conference room.
At this time, Qu Lao asked his third question: "Director Wang, I have one last question, are you really sure that you want to adapt this "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" into a comic?" I just took a look at the manuscript, and my thoughts seem to be a little too advanced, martial arts, mythology, science fiction, this plot is difficult to grasp, and I am afraid that it is difficult to ...... Be recognized! ”
"Please rest assured that Editor-in-Chief Qu knows this, we will focus on promoting Xiangjiang and foreign Chinese markets in this work, and, Editor-in-Chief Qu, you should also understand that our company is close to Xiangjiang, and many resources and contacts can be used."
In fact, Wang Bairong did not say anything to Qu Lao for another reason.
The reason why they want to launch these comics is actually to play a front station and accumulate more "fans", which is like many Japanese anime, first launch the comics of the same name, accumulate popularity, and then launch the corresponding anime, or vice versa.
In this way, they can not only get a certain amount of income, but also get a part of the experience, and they can also learn what characters everyone likes through these comics, and even what characters people of what age group likes, and then they can make corresponding anime based on this data.
"Come, come, Mr. Pan, Director Wang, this sketch is really the same style as you brought, it should be painted by the same person, and the outline of the sequel to "Qin Shi Mingyue's Sweeping Six Kingdoms", you can also take a look, if there is no problem, then let's discuss the specific cooperation plan for the next step, Lao Qu, have you seen it?"
"Okay...... Director Wang, Mr. Pan, let's start the next step. ”
"Yes!"
"No problem!"
…………
Sanshui Township, Township Government.
Township Mayor's Office.
He Yun was sitting there chatting with Township Chief Li.
As for Committee member Zhang, he has gone to the town for a meeting at this moment.
"Xiaohe, I heard that there are many people in your village who want to go to the city to work?" Township Chief Li looked at He Yun and asked casually
"Uh-huh...... There are no channels, and most people are more worried, after all, Yangcheng, Fujian and Zhejiang are too far away, and they are unfamiliar with ....... He Yun nodded and replied.
"Yes, people from several other villages also have similar concerns, no, the leaders of the town and Deputy Secretary Li of the county also specially convened a meeting of cadres from several townships in our town, you see today, Committee member Zhang was summoned to a meeting again." After He Yun finished speaking, Township Chief Li couldn't help but sigh, and then said.
"This problem is indeed quite contradictory, everyone is actually very clear in their hearts, so it is not a way to keep shaving food in the field, not to mention hard work, and I can't make a few dollars all year round, so, Township Chief Li, I think that if our county wants to develop, we must take the lead in solving the traffic problem, otherwise, our county's agricultural products will not be transported out at all, and it will be difficult to talk about development." He Yun nodded and said with emotion.
"What you said, Deputy Secretary Li actually mentioned it at the meeting, he said that this road repair, in fact, is the superior leaders for the development of our towns specially built, after the repair, we can transport these things we planted out, but I think, difficult! It's still hard! Although our county is the land of fish and rice, but there is no investment, everything is empty talk, the key is a word, money, no money, now nothing can be done, reform and opening up, everyone's thinking is changing, and what about us...... Alas...... Don't say it, don't say it. ”
He Yun often didn't understand Township Chief Li's words, he actually understood it very well in his heart.
You must know that this year is already 1986, and it has been nearly ten years since the reform and opening up.
This is not only reflected in the ideology, but also in the material level.
And the reasons for this are very complex.
He Yun couldn't say anything at the moment, after all, ......
"Good news! Good news! Lao Li, great news. ”
And just as He Yun was sighing, suddenly, the excited voice of Committee Member Li came from outside the door......
