Chapter 45 Animation

In the afternoon when he learned that the negotiation had failed, Meng Zhe, who had just finished his afternoon campus time, came to the studio of the magazine. Meng Zhe, who picked up the pen and drew half a picture, heard the sound of the door being knocked.

"Xiao Zhe, Miss Jiang Shuyue in Japan, called the international call and said that there was something important to discuss with you!" Song Guixu, who walked into the studio after knocking on the door, hurriedly said, "Go and answer the phone quickly. I heard that international long-distance is very expensive..."

So, Meng Zhe got up and walked out of the studio, came to the editorial department, picked up the phone, and said politely, "Hello, Sister Jiang, I'm Meng Zhe. What can I do for you?"

Although Jiang Shuyue is Kong Lan's classmate and seems to be a best friend, Meng Zhe is not familiar with him after all.

"Wow--Hello, Mr. Jiji. You will be embarrassed if you call her sister. I'm your loyal reader! By the way, I have booked a plane ticket, and I will come to the mainland in a few days. I will send the trophy of the prize in my hand. At that time, Mr. Jiji, can you give me some signatures..."

At the other end of the phone, Jiang Shuyue's voice with an obvious Taiwanese accent stretched like a cannon. Meng Zhe can even imagine that Jiang Shuyue should be an outgoing, cheerful and lively girl.

"Thank you, Sister Jiang! There is no problem with how many signatures or something. Meng Zhe replied on the phone. Jiang Shuyue helped him put the cartoon into the mud bomb market. Of course, Meng Zhe would not refuse such a request.

"Wow! Then I want five, oh no... ten! I want ten signatures! Mr. Jiji, you must not go back on your word. You are a man..." Hearing Meng Zhe's promise, Jiang Shuyue on the other end of the phone was obviously very excited, but immediately she said angrily as if she suddenly remembered something important--

"Ah-woo - I almost forgot the most important thing. Mr. Jiji called me at noon and said that he wanted to make your chess soul and light tone girl into a TV animation. Mr. Jiji, would you like it? I heard that if you agree, you will have a lot of money to get. Ah, yes, yes... If Mr. Jiji agrees, it seems that you can also mention some conditions such as who will be the voice actor and who will be the director.

Jiang Shuyue said that although she was simply repeating the original words of the British Society, Jiang Shuyue was still very excited, as if it was not Meng Zhe's cartoon to be animated, but her own...

"Animation?"

Meng Zhe unexpectedly repeated the three words of animation. Although he had expected that his comics might be animated, he thought it would be at least after the serialization of 20 episodes.

If there is no copy of Zhu Jianqiang's plagiarism animation yet, Meng Zhe may turn back the animation proposal of Jiyingshe and patiently accumulate funds to do it by himself.

But now, after thinking silently for almost half a minute, Meng Zhe made such a reply: "Sister Jiang, I promise to animate, but my condition is that Shuyingshe must find a way to help me set up an animation studio that belongs to me - not in Japan, but in this city where I am!"

......

The day before the final exam, Meng Zhe met Jiang Shuyue, his 'full-time agent' of the country, in the reception room of Tianjiao Society.

Jiang Shuyue, who has a Taiwanese accent, her skin looks a little dark, and her appearance can only be described as ordinary, but her eyes are very flexible, so her whole body looks very energetic.

Jiang Shuyue made a special trip to Wufeng County and sent the trophy of the Tezuka Award to Meng Zhe. There were also two people from the Jiying Society who came with Jiang Shuyue.

"Meng Jun, I'm Soda Soichi, the deputy editor of the Shueisha. Regarding the animation of the chess soul and the light-tone girl, our Shuyingsha has prepared the contract..." The one who came to the Shuyingsha said this after Meng Zhe bowed deeply. While talking, he took out a The contract was handed to Meng Zhe with both hands.

Yes, although it has not been serialized for too long, Shueisha has made the decision to animize the TV of Chess Soul and Light Voice Girl.

Under the introduction of Soichi Aida, Meng Zhe learned that in this era, the production mode of Japanese cartoons is still a mode of multi-party investment, sharing risks and sharing copyrights.

First of all, the sponsor and the advertising agency make an annual advertising plan, and then the advertising agency gives 80% of the total sponsorship funds to the TV station, the TV station allocates 40% of the income to the planning company, and the planning company gives 76% of the income to the animation production company for animation production.

So, the money that really falls on animation production is actually only about one-fifth of the total investment. Normally, the production cost of each episode of this animation is about 11 million yuan per day, and it is about 40,000 yuan per minute when converted into Chengrenmin coins.

Therefore, it is not enough to rely on the money of advertising sponsors alone. The planning company will take various methods to increase revenue for additional investment. For example, authorized toy companies, authorized to audio and video production companies, authorized local TV stations to broadcast, authorized video game manufacturers, etc., from which copyright income is obtained and used for additional investment.

Because this animation is a mode of playing one episode a week, even if the audience's response in the first few episodes is enthusiastic, there is still time to continue to find investors...

Meng Zhe's "Light Voice Girl" and "Ches Soul", the planning company is set up by Shueisha, and the problem of the sponsor has been solved - Yamaha Organ Company has decided to sponsor the animation of "Light Voice Girl", and the intended sponsorship amount is 300 million yuan! The investment and sponsorship of the animation of Chess Soul is the Japanese Chess Academy, and the intended sponsorship amount is 140 million yuan.

In addition to other miscellaneous sponsors, the sponsorship amount of the two comics TV has raised an investment of more than 500 million yuan so far. According to Soichi Aida, it should be able to raise at least 600 million yuan.

The first season of Qingyin Girl will produce 24 episodes, and the chess soul is 12 episodes.

Meng Zhe's income is naturally copyright transaction money. He can get the copyright fee of about 10 million yuan per film. Of course, if TV animation is popular, the copyright money for shooting sequels, authorizing toys, making video games, etc. will be calculated separately.

In fact, these subsequent copyrights are the big ones--

10 million yuan per unit? That is, about 800,000 RMB? For the two parts, there should be about 1.5 million after the tax deduction... Meng Zhe calculated a little and came up with the final answer.

1.5 million, is it more than enough to build an animation studio?

Therefore, Meng Zhe began to check the Chinese version of the contract brought by Jiyingshe in detail. After a careful look, Meng Zhe felt that there was nothing to do with the contract. It was nothing more than to add the sponsors' trademarks to the TV animation, so Meng Zhe handed over the contract to Kong Lan, who only returned from Yanjing yesterday.

After reading it, Kong Lan did not find any problems, so he handed over the contract to a specially invited lawyer. The lawyer raised several questions, but under the explanation of Congyi Aida and Meng Zhe's statement of no objection, the lawyer finally nodded.

So, Satoshi Aida made a final confirmation at the beginning: "Meng Jun, are you sure that your requirements for the animation of the two comics are just to build an animation studio in your place?"
