Chapter 80: Signing a Contract and a New "Dream Memory"
Ren Qing is also a person who has worked hard in the workplace for a long time, that is, he reacted in just a few seconds and made a fuss by himself.
Obviously, in the conference room of Red Maple Literature, no one would deliberately make such a joke.
Since the young man next to him took the initiative to say that he was "Yuanqing", then.
"Oh oh, oh, it's my problem, my head is confused for a while, I recognize the wrong person, I'm sorry." Ren Qing hurriedly smiled, not dwelling on this, but instead guiding the topic to other places.
"Teacher Yuanqing is really young and handsome, handsome and promising!"
Xia Yan didn't pay much attention to these details, and it was nothing for people to admit their mistakes, but he looked at Ren Qing with curiosity in his eyes.
After all, this guy is in charge of the anime adaptation of the unheard flower name.
Xia Yan, as the author, in fact, has no say in the copyright development of his own works at this stage, and the cooperation with Jiuyou Animation has already been negotiated between the book club and the other party, waiting for him to sign and take effect, and the cooperation can be officially launched.
"I'm the editor of "Yuanqing", Tang Yin, first time meeting, hello. â
Tang Yin took the initiative to stand up at this time and said to Ren Qing with a smile.
And among the few people who came in with Ren Qing, there were also two legal staff members of Red Maple Literature who were in charge of this business.
They will assist Xia Yan to complete all the work on himself, Red Maple Literature, and Jiuyou Animation, all the work on the animation of "Unheard Flower Names".
said that it was a signing meeting, but in fact, it was mainly Red Maple Literature that let Xia Yan, the author, and the staff of Jiuyou Animation get to know each other and understand the details and conditions of this animation.
First of all
The total investment in animation will be around 20 million, of which the total cost of adaptation of copyright is 1.4 million.
For animation production, the copyright fee paid to the original author does not account for a large proportion of the production cost, and in the parallel world, this proportion may only be less than 3%. In the case of the Dragon Country, the national conditions are different, and the degree of oppression of ordinary creators by the two world capitalists is also different, so in the Dragon Country, this figure will be 8% of the total investment.
In fact, the copyright fee of 1.4 million, according to the proportion of cooperation with Red Maple Literature, will be distributed to Xia Yan, and then the tax will be deducted, and Xia Yan will receive about 700,000 yuan.
This amount of money, in fact, is not much.
So why do many book clubs and authors expect their works to be adapted and animated?
The reason is that the video theme of animation has great market acceptance, and many authors don't look down on the adaptation fee at all, but after the work is animated, it often drives the sales of the original single book and the surrounding to a great extent.
If the quality of your work is very high, then maybe after the animation, the popularity of the work will be greatly improved, and the income in the single book and the surrounding area will skyrocket several times.
Just like the manga of Demon Slayer Blade in the parallel world, before it was anime, its popularity was tepid, and the average sales volume of the manga was less than 400,000.
But only a year or two after the animation, the average sales of the single volume of the comic book of this work skyrocketed to four or five million copies, taking the length of the twenty-three volumes of this work as an example, a chain reaction caused by the animation directly increased the sales of the single book of this comic book by hundreds of millions of copies, and the income of the comic book author also skyrocketed by billions of island coins, equivalent to hundreds of millions of Chinese coins in the parallel world.
This is only the sales of a single manga book, and the sales of manga peripherals after animation are also exaggerated.
The comic author of this work, relying on the explosive effect of animation in two years, made 200 million US dollars, and was free in his early thirties, and returned to his hometown to retire.
Xia Yan had a general understanding of the adaptation fee of the animation, and he didn't say much after knowing that the price given by the other party was the market price.
It's the total production cost of the animation is 20 million, and the production cost is not high, nor is it low.
Calculated that the average production cost of animation sets will be close to two million.
In the Dragon Kingdom animation industry, it can be regarded as an average line.
After all, it is only a popular work in the southern province, and it is impossible for others to make any big investment and big production.
Then Xia Yan and Ren Qing asked some things about the animation of the work after the production was completed, the broadcast time, and the broadcast platform.
"Broadcast platform?" Hearing this, Ren Qing paused.
In the case of the Dragon Kingdom, although the level of science and technology has basically reached the level of the parallel world in Yuanqing's memory.
However, many things are still different, and watching animation film and television works in the parallel world is still biased towards online video platform broadcasting.
But in the Dragon Kingdom, the audience still likes to watch it on TV, and there are online video platforms, but they are relatively niche, like parallel world station b, station n, and Netflix.
"We have tentatively identified one of the two TV stations as a partner. One of them is the local TV station in Southern Province, "Southern Province TV". Ren Qing said.
"Still. In fact, with the quality of the unheard flower name,We prefer it to be animated,Broadcast in "Magic City TV7"ă â
The field of television broadcasting is different from the field of light periodicals, even if it is a TV program in the southern province, it can be watched in the whole country, but the flow of people is usually small.
Most of the TV viewers who watch TV in Southern Province are only locals of Southern Province.
The two regions with the highest TV viewing traffic in the Dragon Kingdom are the Imperial Capital and the Demon Capital.
In the Imperial Capital area, there are six TV channels, called Imperial TV1-6, and there are seven in the Magic Capital, called Demon TV1-7.
Similar to the parallel world CCTV 1-10, but there are differences.
CCTV is all under the jurisdiction of CCTV, but the more than a dozen TV channels in the magic capital and the imperial capital have different enterprises behind the management, and the bosses are completely different, but it is convenient for the audience to distinguish them, so everyone is deliberately unified in naming.
Modu TV7,Although it is only a channel with average traffic in the Modu regional TV station,But the total traffic of this sub-channel,It's still much higher than that of Southern Province TVă
At this point, Xia Yan finally figured out all the questions he wanted to understand.
First of all, the adaptation fee is about 700,000 yuan in taxes anyway, and after the adaptation of the work, with the strength of the other company, the work will be broadcast on TV in Southern Province.
If Jiuyou Animation and Modu TV7 TV station have negotiated cooperation, it will broadcast animation with unheard of flower names on Modu tv7 TV7 TV.
And the time of the work.
It is expected that the first few episodes of the anime will be produced in four months, and it will be broadcast in time for the spring animation market in January next year.
Then, Xia Yan asked another question that he was relatively more concerned about.
"Director Ren, if I have a good relationship with the theme song or interlude of this animation, and the works created by musicians I know, will you consider those works?" Xia Yan asked.
In fact, the ending song of the original animation "All the secret base~" that has not been heard of in the parallel world is really godly, but Jiuyou Animation may also have a chance to find another song that can surpass it in the Dragon Kingdom.
It's just that this is a matter of probability, and there is a high probability that the music made by the musicians that Jiuyou Animation found in the Dragon Kingdom will not reach the height of "all the secret base~" you gave me.
Since Xia Yan knows that the original animation has a very suitable track, and this song has also played such a big role in the spread of the original animation of this work in the parallel world, now anyway, regardless of whether his request is a little too much, he will put it forward first.
When the time comes, after the tune is taken out, people can use it if they can see it, and if they can't see it, it doesn't matter, after all, they have worked hard.
"Tunes?" Ren Qing pondered for a moment when he heard this.
"As long as the quality is sufficient, it does not affect the sales, commerciality, and review of the work, and our company has always respected the opinions of the original author of the work. If the quality of your favorite repertoire is up to standard, and it is in line with the style of this work, then of course we will consider it. â
"In this way, after the signing is successful today, in a few days, I will give you the direct contact information of the music supervisor in the animation production department of "Unheard of Flower Name", the friend you said really has a suitable track, so you can have an in-depth discussion with our company's music director in this regard. And my contact information will also be given to you, for some details of animation production, if you have any reasonable suggestions, you can also contact me directly, I will think about it and adopt it. â
"I see, I don't have a problem." Hearing this, Xia Yan thought for a moment, and then said with a smile.
After everyone present saw Xia Yan's expression, their hearts were suddenly relieved.
It's done.
Indeed, Xia Yan does not have the right to decide what partner to choose for the adaptation of his work. On the contract signed by Xia Yan and Hongfeng, the right to operate the work belongs to Hongfeng Literature.
But Xia Yan, as the direct creator of his works, has a veto right over all the operations of his works.
No matter how much Red Maple Literature finds what it thinks is an excellent partner, Xia Yan doesn't look down on the partner, he can not sign a contract, if he doesn't cooperate, no one can do anything to him.
Soon, someone brought it over the past month, after the red maple literature had been repeatedly studied, compared, and determined that there was no pit after the three contracts came out
Red Maple Literature, Jiuyou Animation, and Xia Yan are three parties, each with one copy.
Xia Yan did not hesitate and signed his name on it.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
In the evening, Xia Yan also had a meal with the group of Jiuyou Animation, and after drinking a meal of alcohol, he took a taxi and returned home in a groggy state.
As soon as he lay down, he fell asleep unconsciously.
Confused.
The long-lost dream memory reappeared.
Eyes, looking at the memories of the girl, this is the first time Xia Yan doesn't know how many times he has seen the girl Yuan Qing click on this game again.
She's been playing the game at the same time since she watched the unheard anime, but she's played it several times in a row, but she gave up because of the game's grunge pixel art style.
And when it comes to games, this thing is more like a text, with a little pixel art background, and the playability is close to zero.
But what Yuan Qing couldn't let go of was the ridiculously high game rating of this game, and the crying of a large group of game passers in the game comment area.
Tearjerker?
Touching?
After clearing the customs, the whole person is numb, and he can't get out of the plot for half a month.
And some fans of this game, keep speaking in the comment area, so that the new game players, don't give up this work because of the game's scumbag pixel style and the playability of the garbage, this work only needs to care about the plot.
I lost it, and I was afraid of missing a good work, so let's play it, and I don't think it's too interesting.
Yuan Qing is a person who is easily influenced by others, if it weren't for these game reviews that stimulated her, she would have deleted this game a long time ago.
Gash painting style, garbage gameplay, in the era of games that have been as many as dogs in 3A masterpieces, there are still people who make pixel games to come out with spicy eyes?
This is Yuan Qing's inner direct thoughts, but his inner spit is complaining.
A pixel game with such a garbage painting style, such low playability, and so many people playing, with such a high rating, can only show one thing about its plot, which is outrageously good.
Thinking of this, she stared at the game's pixel screen.
The game begins with an old man on his deathbed who wants to fulfill his wishes.
In the game, the player controls two medical technology researchers, a man and a woman, who come to the bed of the unconscious old man because they have received money to fulfill his wish before the old man dies
His desire to go to the moon!
This game, called "To the Moon"
