Li Weiya didn't rush to look at the contract, but closed the curtains, pressed the switch of the projector, and showed Zhou Lu the latest episode of cat and mouse.

Zhou Lu is now a die-hard fan of cats and mice, and she has watched the episodes of the first and second seasons many times, and she has a deep memory of various classic shots.

But when she saw the familiar opening animation at this time, she felt a little different.

The picture quality was higher, and the picture was smoother, she turned her head to look at Li Weiya, who just smiled and said nothing, motioning for her to continue reading.

The content is about Tom discovering a beautiful white cat, no matter how Jerry plays tricks, Tom only looks at the white cat in a daze, in order to continue to play the game of cat and mouse with Tom, Jerry writes a letter to a black cat, asking the black cat to pursue the white cat so that Tom will die, after some fighting, Tom is kicked out of the manor by the black cat, just when Jerry thinks he can play with Tom friendly, he meets a beautiful little mouse.

In the process of watching the cartoon, Zhou Lu laughed constantly, it was still a familiar painting style, a familiar character, but just seven minutes passed quickly, Li Weiya opened the curtain and closed the projector.

"Editor Zhou, this is one of the episodes of the third season, what do you think?" Li Weiya smiled.

She immediately said, "Very good. ”

"But isn't the picture quality improved a lot?" After watching the episode just now, Zhou Lu only thought of the word silky.

The picture runs smoothly, the action is silky, and the lens switching is perfect, and the texture has been improved by several steps.

"Yes." Li Weiya smiled and said: "We have adopted a new way of shooting, which used to take six people two months to produce a season, but now it takes more than 30 people to cooperate, and it also takes two months to produce." ”

"No wonder."

Zhou Lu suddenly realized that there is no other way to improve the quality of animation in this era, but to increase the number of original paintings, which also means a significant increase in production costs.

Generally speaking, few companies are willing to do this kind of thankless work, since the original quality can make money, then why spend more money to improve the picture quality, in addition to improving the company's reputation, other substantial benefits are almost none.

If you like to watch it, you're willing to watch it even if it's stuck into a PPT.,If you don't like to watch it, you'll feel bored even if you put the animation in front of you.。

But Monkey Sky Animation Company did this, which means that they use the money they earn to make products seriously, and want to make this animation for a long time, instead of the kind of garbage company that reaps a wave and runs away.

In other words, as long as the third season of Cat and Mouse is on the radar, it will become a conscientious company in the mouths of countless netizens.

"If the episodes of the third season are of this quality, the reputation of cats and mice is afraid that it will explode again." Zhou Lu said with a smile.

"This is the attitude of our company, to make as good and excellent animation works as possible to repay the public's love, and not perfunctory."

"Remarkable." Zhou Lu gave a thumbs up.

If all animation companies have the same attitude as Qitian Animation, the domestic animation industry will not be as bad as it is now, and even most of them think not to make good works, but to use a shoddy garbage to cheat the state and government subsidies.

"So, what kind of price does the TV station plan to give us this time?" Li Weiya put her fingers crossed on the table, leaned forward slightly, and her posture was extremely aggressive.

Zhou Lu reacted suddenly, and asked her to watch the animation, and talked about the company's attitude, saying so much just to let the TV station give a little more, after all, the production cost of animation has really increased, and it is not a little bit more.

She hesitated slightly, the content of the contract drafted by the station was actually similar to before, 8,000 yuan for a single episode, and about 1,000 ups and downs were allowed, with a cap of 10,000.

But looking at the current situation, 10,000 in a single episode may not be able to be won.

After all, no one told the TV station that the picture quality of Cat and Mouse had improved so much at first, which was still the standard before.

"How much does Director Li think is appropriate?"

Li Weiya's smile slowed down, she sat upright and took a shallow sip of tea, and said slowly:

"The Central Children's Channel had contact with us before, and offered a price of 30,000 yuan for a single episode, as long as the priority broadcast right, and we considered that the cooperation with your station has been very pleasant, so we didn't agree, and then they increased the price to 50,000, Mr. Jiang said, I want to ask you what you think first."

Zhou Lu's expression froze, a single episode is 50,000, and an episode is only seven minutes, which is a high price that Yudu TV has not offered in the past ten years.

You must know that the exclusive broadcast rights they agreed to last time were only 30,000 per episode.

"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your kindness, but I have to discuss this price with the leaders of Taili." Zhou Lu took a deep breath.

Li Wei shrugged her shoulders and made a gesture of please.

In business, personal feelings cannot be used as bargaining chips in transactions, and this is also what Jiang Xia meant, leaving the right of first choice to Yudu TV, he is already very face-saving.

In the final analysis, the company is not charitable, and now the production cost has increased so much, it is necessary to let the TV station share the cost with some blood, not to mention, at this price, the TV station is not unable to make money, but just make more and earn less.

Zhou Lu took the phone to the conference room to communicate with the station, and during the period, she asked Li Weiya for a sample of only ten seconds of content and sent it to the station, probably because she also wanted the professionals in the station to give a professional evaluation of the current picture quality of the cat and mouse, as well as the final pricing.

Half an hour later, Zhou Lu pushed open the door and walked in with a frustrated face.

"How's the discussion?" Li Weiya asked with a smile.

"Alas, the station gave up the right of first play for cats and mice." She smiled wryly.

Although Yudu TV has relied on cats and mice to win high ratings across the country in recent months, the price of 50,000 yuan for a single episode is still too high.

Moreover, as other TV stations have also started to sign up for broadcasting, the final ratings will be diluted out by a part.

Generally speaking, the leaders of Yudu TV station feel that cats and mice are not worth the price, and the other is that the Central Children's Channel is rich and rich, so they can't keep up, so they can just eat soup after them.

In the end, Qitian Animation Company and Yudu TV signed a broadcast contract at a price of 20,000 yuan for a single episode, but it could only be broadcast after the premiere rights ended.

"Editor Zhou, happy cooperation." Li Weiya shook Zhou Lu's hand with a smile on her face.

"Phew, the matter is finally done, then I will leave first." Zhou Lu let out a sigh of relief.

"Why don't we have lunch together before we go?"

"Director Li, you're a busy man, I won't bother, I'll see you later." Zhou Lu shook his head.

"Then bring this."

Li Weiya turned around and took off the scarf from the triangular hanger and handed it over, smiling slightly.

"Bian Zhou, it's cold in the imperial capital, don't catch a cold."
