There was silence in the reception room for two seconds before Zhou Lu came back to his senses from that stunned gaze.

Looking at the calm posture of the boy in front of her, she immediately smiled apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Boss Jiang, I just didn't expect that the person who created the cat and mouse would be so young." ”

Jiang Xia smiled faintly: "Many people say so. ”

"Can I take the liberty of asking, how old is Boss Jiang this year?"

"Eighteen years old, just graduated from high school." He said honestly.

Zhou Lu took a cool breath silently, ordinary people are still studying at the age of eighteen, and he has actually created a company and become his own boss.

If you follow the animation production cycle, doesn't it mean that he was still reading when he made the cat and mouse?

And there are no animation production-related courses in high school, and he can still use it practically after being self-taught, which is enough to show that he is excellent.

"Boss Jiang is really a hero." Zhou Lu subconsciously sighed.

His daily work is to deal with veterans in the industry, and it is the first time that Jiang Xia is so young.

"Zhou Bian praised it, I just liked animation since I was a child." Jiang Xia smiled slightly.

"Reacquaint yourself with Zhou Lu, the editor-in-charge of the children's channel of Yudu TV." Zhou Lu stretched out his hand and said.

Jiang Xia's expression was indifferent: "Qi Tian Animation, Jiang Xia." ”

The two shook hands amicably, and after such a break, the atmosphere in the room became much more relaxed.

Li Weiya nodded secretly from the side, she didn't see the slightest nervousness in Jiang Xia, her movements, demeanor, and dialogue were all just right, and this kind of old-fashioned temperament is often unique to some entrepreneurs or leaders.

But as a cheap student, he is not even a class cadre in school.

All this can only show that Jiang Xiasheng is a boss.

"Boss Jiang, please take a seat." Zhou Lu said politely: "I won't say much about those scenes, let's go straight to the point?" ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Jiang Xia nodded slightly.

Zhou Lu asked, "Is your company's intention to let the cat and mouse be broadcast on Yudu TV?" ”

"Before answering this question, I would like to ask the editor and the animation column team what they think of cats and mice." He smiled and kicked the ball back, "It's important to me, it's to the cat and the mouse." ”

"Can I take this question as Boss Jiang's inspection of our TV station?" Zhou Lu joked.

"I can't talk about the inspection, you are young and want to know more about the situation." Jiang Xia tilted his head slightly, making an expression unique to his age.

To put it simply, it's just a handsome little boy who sells a cute to a mature big sister.

There's no denying that this unexpected trick works.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it."

Zhou Lu smiled and said: "The video that Boss Jiang sent me before, including some of the PVs uploaded on the Internet, I and my colleagues in the department have all seen it, to be honest, only the quality of the content that has flowed out has made me a strong interest as an adult." And this is also the reason why I was able to sit down and talk to Boss Jiang today. ”

Jiang Xia nodded, these words were similar to Li Weiya's previous guess.

An excellent animation work will never lack channels to play.

"Qitian Animation also hopes to work closely with Guitai." Jiang Xia said with a smile.

Having said that, the foundation for cooperation between the two sides has been laid, and the next step is to see that the proposed price is not satisfied.

"So Boss Jiang, did you bring the cat and mouse today?"

"Of course."

He took out the backup mobile hard drive and handed it over, knowing that the TV station needed to make a detailed evaluation of the animation itself before making an offer. But just to be on the safe side, there are only five episodes on the hard drive.

"Wait a minute."

Zhou Lu sent the hard drive out, and only Jiang Xia and Li Weiya were left in the reception room.

"Aunt Li, is there a problem with what I just said?"

"Ok, normal range. However, the willingness of the TV station to cooperate is quite strong. ”

Li Weiya said with a smile: "Let's see how they make requests in a while, you can see the move." If I hear something unreasonable, I will cough and alert you. ”

"Okay."

Almost half an hour later, Zhou Lu came back with a mobile hard drive, her face was calm, and she couldn't see how they were discussing.

"Boss Jiang, I want to ask, how many episodes of cat and mouse do you have in your hands?" Zhou Lu asked lightly.

didn't ask the producer about the price, but directly asked about the number of animation episodes, as soon as these words came out, Jiang Xia had more or less the bottom in his heart.

"Ten episodes." He told the truth.

"It's only ten episodes...... she frowned slightly.

"What about the production speed?"

"At present, it is one episode every half a month, and if the efficiency is accelerated, about 3 episodes can be released in a month."

In all fairness, in today's animation market, this speed is not slow.

"Boss Jiang, my station is very interested in cats and mice, but the current number of episodes is too small, the average length of an episode is so short, if it is broadcast at the rate of two episodes a day, it is only enough for five days."

"If I remember correctly, there are only 6 episodes of "King Kong Gourd Baby", right? It's still a classic. Jiang Xia replied unhurriedly.

"But the gourd baby has a complete plot, while the cat and mouse is in the form of a unit drama, each episode is a small story, and the audience's stickiness will be greatly reduced." Zhou Lu said.

Audience stickiness affects ratings, and if the ratings do not rise significantly during the animation broadcast time, it is by no means good news for TV stations.

In other words, this is a deliberate price reduction by the TV station.

If possible, the TV station would like to get the broadcast rights for free.

Li Weiya coughed lightly at this time, and Jiang Xia knew it in her heart.

"Editor Zhou, you're wrong, the so-called audience stickiness is not linked to the expression of the animation, but to the quality."

He said confidently: "Even if it is a unit drama, as long as the story is good enough, after watching one episode, you will naturally watch the second episode. ”

Zhou Lu is noncommittal, the evaluation of cats and mice on the Internet is indeed very high, and it will indeed attract some people to watch after the broadcast, but the question is, how many people will keep chasing it?

"Are you so sure that the cat and the mouse will bring good ratings to the station?"

"Now is the age of online information, and the ratings of TV are decreasing year by year, so why not gamble?"

He continued: "Ten episodes of cat and mouse are not long, short is not short, for TV stations, the cost of trial and error can be said to be pitifully low, if the ratings are not good, your station can be cut directly, and you will not choose to continue to cooperate with me in the future, editor Zhou, don't you say?" ”
