When Junko arrived at the hotel, it was not yet 9 o'clock.

But the people from "Weekly Shonen" and "Weekly Manga Times" have arrived.

Shibasaki Hiroki led the two clubmates into the small conference room one after another, but he didn't expect that the conversation was over after only about thirty minutes.

The same was true in the afternoon, the people from the three animation companies had arranged at least four hours of negotiation time, but it turned out that Xuluo didn't use a hundred minutes in total.

He didn't want to ask Xuluo how the talks were, but he could see that the faces of the negotiators of several clubs were all dignified, and it was obviously not so smooth.

As for Junko, who is in charge of translation, her face is as ordinary as ever, and there is nothing special.

Shibasaki didn't dare to ask the head teacher.

In fact, there are also Chen Xiaoxu who accompanied Xuluo to negotiate with him.

She didn't really do anything, just as the hostess, and poured a few cups of tea for the guests.

Then Sister Lin sat next to Xuluo and listened to Xuluo's translation through Junko's translation and negotiate with these people from the manga and animation production company.

Business negotiations, the girl is not interested.

But she felt that Xuluo was a little too strong when negotiating with these five companies.

"Aren't you afraid that they won't cooperate with you?" At dinner in the evening, Sister Lin couldn't help but ask.

"Don't be afraid."

Xuluo shook his head, "Businessmen are all chasing profits, and this is a process of trade-off. Once I'm weak, then this cake, they will go with the biggest piece. ”

"But they all proposed copyright sharing, and none of them backed down." Sister Lin said, "In addition to this, the price they give is high enough, right?" ”

"Hmm."

The boy bowed slightly.

In terms of monetary conditions, the five clubs are very generous.

Among them, the richest "Weekly Shonen" gave a staggering 40% of the comic royalty share!

You must know that in Miguo's "The Walking Dead", Dark Horse Comics can only give 20% of the royalties to Xuluo!

Nippon is a big comic country.

Once there is a popular comic, such as "Dragon Ball", the comic income is in the proportion of tens of millions of US dollars, which is far more profitable than that of Miguo.

Xuluo's "Tomb Raider" and "Resident Evil" already have a good audience base.

By the time the comics are released again, there will be at least a million potential readers, which is a huge advantage.

As long as the comics aren't very crotch-pulling, it's easy to make millions of dollars.

Compared with comics, the benefits of animation are much smaller, at most a work can bring 50-1 million dollars to Xuluo.

This is due to the difference in sales models.

Japanese TV programs, idol dramas, and animations are all controlled by TV stations.

The production unit's division is not high, and even many of them can only be said to be capital preservation.

Idol dramas and TV shows are a little better, these are all produced by the TV stations themselves.

Most of the animation is outsourced, and the profit given by the TV station is less, unless it is those hits, otherwise there can be 20% of the profit, which is very high.

In this case, the three animation companies naturally need to have their own interests.

This benefit is the biggest profiteering in the Japanese entertainment industry - peripheral products!

Japan benzene is a country that develops the peripheral rights and interests of a product to the extreme.

It's even more obvious in the animation industry.

A simple example.

If Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball" earned him 10 billion yen in manga and animation, then the money earned on peripheral products is at least 100 billion yen!

This is still a conservative estimate, and this number may skyrocket to 200 billion, 300 billion or even more as the number of years increases.

The money was only his own share.

All participants in the entire industrial chain are also making a lot of money.

These include comic book companies, animation companies, and game companies

Because they are all necessary prerequisites for Dragon Ball to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Without the foreshadowing and popularity of comics, animations, and games, how can merchandise sell well?

So they have merit and deserve a piece of the pie.

Now the five companies have good conditions for Xuluo, but the peripheral copyright interests they are asking for are very high.

The least of them all want 30%.

Okay!

Books and games aside, 30% for comics, 30% for animation, and 30% for manufacturers and sellers of peripheral products...... This means that only 10% is left for the void.

But Xuluo knew it.

Famous artists such as Osamu Tezuka and Akira Toriyama take as much as 30% of the share.

Even if it's a slightly inferior cartoonist, you get 20%.

Xuluo was finally reborn once, how could they take advantage of them?

He now has his own first move.

That is, "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" already have the popularity of books, and the game will come out next year, and then it will cause another wave of popularity.

When the time comes, it must be the best catalyst to promote the sales of comics and the increase in anime ratings.

Comic and animation companies also value this, so they want to get the adaptation rights as soon as possible and complete it as soon as possible, so that they can catch this express train.

But they don't know that compared to ordinary Japanese comics, "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" have greater potential in film and television works.

If, if the global box office of "Resident Evil" can reach $3.5 billion...... No, even if it's $200 million, Xuluo gets 20% from it, and it's $40 million!

This is a situation in which Xuluo completely controls the rights and interests of the surrounding areas, if you want to distribute it to them, and Xuluo only takes 50% or 30%, wouldn't it be necessary to give them 20 million or 28 million US dollars for nothing?

Compared with such a large sum of money, the benefits they give are not worth mentioning.

That's why Xuluo is so tough.

It's okay if you want the rights to adapt comics and animations, and I can even reduce my royalty share, but needless to say, the peripheral rights and interests will not be given.

In this way, of course, there is no possibility of further discussion.

No matter how much these Japanese companies want to cooperate, it is impossible for them to sign such a humiliating contract.

This is where the contradiction between the two sides lies.

……

As his thoughts passed, Xuluo raised his head, stopped chewing on his food, and said, "I attach more importance to the long-term interests in the future, especially the global ones. They think that if I want to do this in Japan, I must rely on them, but in this case, I am too short-sighted. ”

Chen Xiaoxu said funny: "Do you still want to sell it to Huaguo?" ”

I want to sell it to Mi Country.

Xuluo replied in his heart, but smiled on the surface, "I can't say, when Huaguo is rich and people's sense of authenticity is strong, we can also make a lot of money." ”

Sister Lin's mouth was deflated, "If that's the case, it would be good if your "Beijing Welcomes You" released a single, which would be enough to earn tens of millions, right?" ”

Xuluo said: "If it's Japanese benzene, it may be more than that." ”

To say that the single records of Japanese benzene are very expensive, almost 1980 yen, according to the current exchange ratio, it will cost more than 100 yuan.

If it sells 1 million copies, Xuluo has the triple identity of lyricist, songwriter, and singer, and the royalties will be at least 20 million or 30 million!

The Japanese benzene sold 1 million single records, not too many!

After all, in terms of genuine version, the protection of property rights of Japanese benzene is more stringent than that of Mi Guodu, which is also an important reason why their pop music, movies, TV series, and animation industries are booming.

Chen Xiaoxu didn't argue with Xuluo, but said: "Actually, this is also simple, you give them a little bit of the rights and interests of Japanese benzene, and then hold the rights and interests of foreign countries tightly in your hands, isn't it good?" ”

"Oh......"

Xu Luo was taken aback, and then he was happy.

Sister Lin is right.

The peripheral copyrights that the Japanese people want are actually daily necessities, such as clothes, shoes, jewelry, toys, and so on.

The film and television copyrights that Xuluo really wanted to hold tightly, they didn't mention it much.

This is also related to the production of Japanese benzene movies and TV dramas.

They almost never make big productions, even if they make movies and TV series, they mostly try to meet the needs of domestic audiences, like the kind of good dock production, they don't think about it.

After all, there are few masters such as Akira Kurosawa in Japan.

From this point of view, the culture of Japanese benzene is quite exclusive.

If Xuluo specifically put forward the film and television copyrights, especially the film copyrights, it is not unlikely that they will make concessions.

Of course, this is also a complex negotiation process.

Xu Luo thought of Chen Xiyue in the Mi Kingdom at this time.

She has a lot of experience negotiating with Michael Cratton, Dark Horse Comics, and NBC.

Why don't you wait until it's time to talk about the details and call her over?

Well!

If you think about it, it's not just manga and anime, but also the TV series "Tokyo Love Story" and "Spicy Teacher".

Such a smart and powerful sister, if you don't use it, I'm sorry for her talent.

Thinking about this, Xuluo immediately stood up and wanted to call Chen Xiyue.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the phone in the hall rang.

Xuluo picked up the phone.

On the other side of the phone, a man said in Mandarin that he was not very proficient in, but he could understand, "Mr. Xu?" Hello, let me introduce myself, I'm Norihiko Kadokawa from Kadokawa Bookstore, is it convenient for you now? I want to come and visit you. ”

Kadokawa Bookstore?

The information about it came to Xuluo's mind.

This is a well-known publishing house in Japan, not only in the publishing industry, but also in the film industry, and is one of the film companies with a large number of Japanese benzene.

However, Kadokawa Shoten does not have a manga or animation business, so this time it did not bid for the adaptation rights of the two books.

"Mr. Void." Seeing that Xuluo didn't speak for a while, he continued: "Regardless of whether the business negotiation can be successful, I like your talent, we can be friends." ”

"Good!"

Everyone said so, and the young man naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only reply: "I'll come out to pick you up." ”

……
