Reborn Cultural Empire

113. The Vulture and the Hyena

"How is it? I think my proposal is worth considering by Mr. Luo and Xiao Yang." Xiao Mingnan tapped on the table lightly with one hand, but did not make a sound. Accepting your own offer doesn't matter.

In fact, Xiao Mingnan is indeed sneering in his heart now, the group of people who entrusted him to come forward, want to cooperate with Siyue, but are unwilling to show sincerity.I always thought that if I could overwhelm others with power, I would be able to make the opponent compromise.

It's not that they don't understand this truth, but under the stimulation of interests, there are always people who are envious and hot-headed, so they do stupid things like this, but these are not their own business, look at Rogo How to deal with Yang Yi.

Sure enough, even Rogo laughed this time: "Can't we develop and produce the animation of "Yunhuang" by ourselves? Why should we cooperate with Yuezhou Publishing?"

"Cooperation, of course, is to find a way that is good for everyone. Maybe Luo always feels that I am grabbing food from your bowl, but..." Xiao Mingnan clearly sensed the rejection in Rogo's tone , but his real purpose does not lie in this, right now he is just trying to test it casually: "Since everyone is eating and drinking in this circle, why can't we cooperate? If you have the ability to make the animation of "Yun Huang", I will never mention this matter again. But the problem now is that Siyue seems to be facing a shortage of funds? How can I spare no energy to take care of these?"

Yang Yi smiled, and asked instead of answering: "If Mr. Xiao came here purely for "Yun Huang", then he should go to the author of the manga himself."

Xiao Mingnan gave a ambiguous smile: "Xiao Yang, you are meaningless, to be honest, we pay 50 yuan for the animation adaptation copyright fee for each volume of "Yunhuang", and Siyue can also get another 10 yuan. compensation. If the ratings are good, we can also increase the copyright fee on this basis! Note that we only need the copyright for animation adaptations. As for TV directors or filmmakers in the future, you can still come up with it. Go sell it again."

Yang Yi was dumbfounded, Xiao Mingnan was quite sure, he had clearly found out about his relationship with "Yunhuang", but there were quite a few editors in Siyue who knew that "Yunhuang" was a collaborative work, and it was still difficult to hide it from those who cared. of.

But he seems to have made the animation too simple!

Yang Yi asked curiously: "Well, let me ask first, Mr. Xiao, do you know how much is the production cost of a 30-minute cartoon?"

"Of course, I have an old friend who is on Meiying, and the episode over there is about less than 150 million." Xiao Mingnan chuckled, how could he ignore such details.

As soon as Yang looked at Rogo, Mr. Fat understood what he meant and nodded.

Only then did he turn around and smile at Xiao Mingnan: "Then I'll reveal a business secret to Mr. Xiao. For our New Year's Day promotional video, the cost of entrusting the island country to produce it is close to 300 million!"

Hearing this figure suddenly, Xiao Mingnan's eyes jumped. The price of 300 million was indeed quite beyond his expectation, and it was far from the price quoted by Shanghai Meiying. However, he immediately reacted from his surprise. Boss, there is still some adaptability.

"It seems that I'm thinking too simple. Well, what if I can also take out the investment of 300 million yuan per episode?" Xiao Mingnan looked at Yang Yi with burning eyes: "My attitude is already very sincere. Our group is sincerely looking for It's a collaboration this time."

60 yuan for the adaptation rights fee for each episode. If this figure is added up, nearly 500 million yuan will be paid for "Mo Yanshi" alone, not counting the additional investment in production. From this point of view, Yuezhou Publishing The group is indeed very sincere.

But in the final analysis, it’s someone else who wants to pick the fruit. Otherwise, after the release of the first “Wandering in Kyushu” of “Clouds and Desolation”, why no one came to talk about cooperation in animation adaptation.

"Sorry, if Mr. Xiao came this time specifically for "The Desolation of the Clouds", then I can only disappoint you."

Yang Yiben thought that after he said that, Xiao Mingnan would be sullen and even ashamed, but he didn't expect the boss to nod indifferently: "That's right, if it were me, I wouldn't put such a golden egg so easily. If the hen is sold, then let’s talk about other aspects... Oh, by the way, it’s not our Yuezhou Group that is jealous of the animation of "Yunhuang", but Dingchen Cartoon, the boss of this company. He came out of Shanghai Meiying in the early 90s. He has a unique vision in the field of animation, but he is not very good, otherwise he would not be able to stay in Shanghai Meiying. But looking back now, he never Going to Meiying to come out and do it yourself is profitable."

Hearing Xiao Mingnan's words, it means that there are still people who have their own ideas?Yang Yi and Rogo became annoyed at the same time, these people have a bit of the spirit of African hyenas, where there is money to be made, there is their perseverance.

"Then Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by coming here this time?"

"Two incidental things, one is to ask if I can participate in the "Yunhuang" animation, and the other is to match others...that is, the Dingchen cartoon I just mentioned, their boss Qin Pi wants me to do it in the middle An introducer." Xiao Mingnan's tone was flat, apparently not paying much attention to what he just said: "As for the main purpose, I want to talk to you about Yunzhong Book City."

This old ghost, after going around for a long time, finally got to the point.

Yang Yi and Rogo were vigilant, and they were still deeply impressed by what this well-known group leader said in Baishi Jingshe. Mr. Xiao, what do you mean... I remember that you looked down on our plan in every possible way at the time, why now..."

"Humans, there will always be times when they are conceited, right? I really misjudged my eyes at the time, and please don't mind Xiao Yang." Xiao Mingnan admitted his mistakes openly, but his kind of judging the situation made Yang Yi Tsk tut praise in my heart.

Sure enough, it was the old fox. At the beginning, he repeatedly entangled with the authorization of the animation adaptation of "Yunhuang". After he couldn't agree, he pulled another group of people out to block the gun.Now that he has come up with the idea of ​​Yunzhong Book City again, he can eat back what he said before.

This is the old monster who is good at dancing with long sleeves and has a deep understanding of the way of advancing and retreating.

"At that time, I seemed to say that if you want to board the boat now, the ticket price will change?" Yang Yi raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Mingnan adjusted his glasses tui, and agreed with him deeply: "Of course, if it wasn't like this, I wouldn't be ashamed to talk about cooperation."

This is wrong!Yang Yi is depressed now, the script is not written like this, okay!

There is a saying that good horses don’t turn their heads back, and now Mr. Xiao is actually going to get back to the pot with a face, so he should be superior and make things difficult for him!

Then he, Xiao Mingnan, under his contempt, wept bitterly and regretted his mistakes at the time, deeply and deeply reviewed his mistakes at that time, and begged himself to show mercy, so that he would also have the honor to participate in the development of Yunzhong Bookstore. build up.

That's the way it should be!But now, now he casually admits that he was blind at that time, he is not at all angry at the little thorns in his words, and he just agrees with what he says.It looks like he's almost fifty, maybe he's already in his fifties, yet he doesn't mind having an equal relationship with people who are two generations younger than him.

Really hard to deal with.

"Well, let's have dinner first, let's get together at noon, how about talking in the afternoon!" Unable to figure out Xiao Mingnan's thoughts for a while, Rogo hurriedly interrupted, and the other two followed suit and got off the negotiating table.

"What do you think, Xiaoyi." When rushing to order food, Rogo looked at Yang Yi on the co-pilot, and then glanced at the Lexus car behind him from the rearview mirror, feeling an invisible pressure.

Yang Yi blinked his eyes, and said thoughtfully: "When it comes to intrigue, the two of us together are no match for him. The reason why Mr. Xiao can bow his head now is because he is apologizing for his previous mistakes. Pay the bill... If this is the case, then why not just agree to him generously, anyway, we are not a listed company, as long as we firmly hold the majority of equity and decision-making power, we are not afraid of his small moves."

Rogo thought for a while, but he could only nod his head, and asked about another matter: "How to deal with the matter of Yishuju and Gulu Culture that day, you will never let them go so kindly."

"Tianyi Bookstore? Poach editors and rob authors, do whatever you want." Yang Yi grinned, let them go?Hehe: "The ancient culture of the devil's capital, let them be happy for a while, and then buy it directly with money."

……

After lunch, the boss of Dingchen Cartoon that Xiao Mingnan mentioned, as well as the officials from the Yuezhou Radio, Film and Television Bureau rushed over. After Xiao Mingnan introduced them, the group returned to Siyue's conference room.

In the morning, the conference room was a little dangdang, but now that seven or eight people are seated, there is an atmosphere of negotiation immediately.

The carpet is soft and the windows are bright and clean.

During this period of time, Siyue had frequent visits, and several office assistants were used to this kind of scene, and the reception work was meticulous, which made the visitors from Shanghai slightly restrain the casualness and frivolity in their eyes.

At one end of the long table was Tao Xingjing, the office director of Yuezhou Radio and Television, who was also the official in charge of receiving foreign affairs, so of course he sat on the main seat without giving way. Xiao Mingnan was sitting on the same side as Rogo at this time, and opposite was Qin Pi, the boss of Dingchen Cartoon, plus assistants and others.

After Tao Xingjing made some meaningless opening remarks, Qin Pi over there couldn't hold back, and asked, "Your club should be clear about our purpose, so let's talk about the specific matters of cooperation."

"Specific matters?" Yang Yi, who was at the end of Rogo's side, couldn't help but smile: "When did we agree to cooperate? Is it time to discuss the details?"

"This is..." A group of people in Modu have noticed this half-grown boy a long time ago, and they have always been suspicious. In this kind of formal business meeting, officials from the Radio, Film and Television Bureau presided over it. How could a student come in like this? , so the questioning taste in the eyes is obvious, and the expression of sneer and displeasure is also undisguised.

Tao Xingjing on the head had heard about Yang Yi. After all, some time ago, two groups of people from the island country came to Yuezhou one after another, just because of this young man's book. I have heard of it.

"Oh, this is Yang Yi, a special author of our agency, and he also owns the copyright of "Clouds and Desolation." Luo Ge laughed, as if he remembered to introduce Yang Yi's identity only now.

The copyright of "Cloud Desolation" is in his hands?So what happened to Su Wan?Several people in Dingchen Cartoon were confused, and their boss, Qin Pi, looked at Yang Yi with flickering eyes, apparently having lost the initial confidence.

Different from the department setup of other animation companies, Dingchen Cartoon has a dedicated public relations department, which is not just a name, but also has a staff of more than ten people.This time when they came to Yuezhou, all the elite soldiers from the public relations department came with them, but most of them went to Su Wan's side.

So when Qin Pi heard that the copyright holder of "Clouds and Desolation" was actually this half-grown student who looked like a student, his thoughts immediately turned: "Mr. "

"Boss Qin is overthinking. Will we talk about such a serious matter irresponsibly?"

Keeping their eyes fixed on Yang Yi, several people looked at Yang Yi for several minutes, and then they exchanged opinions in a low voice, and then Qin Pi over there put away the emotional turmoil caused by this unexpected news, and nodded. : "It doesn't matter whose work "Yunhuang" is, but I don't think it will hinder our cooperation. The right to adapt the animation film and television is bought out for 300 million. How about it, Mr. Luo."

"Pfft!" When Qin Pi said this, Yang Yi was slowly sipping his tea, when he suddenly heard the boss's "bold" offer, he couldn't help but sprayed all over the table.

This kid!Tao Xingjing's face in the main seat was all dark. He was also a government official, and he had heard a lot of rumors about Yang Yi. It was said that he had a close relationship with Jiang Jianmo, and most of them were nephews.With this layer of identity here, it is really embarrassing for him, the director of the office of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, to say no, or not to say no, in front of the guests.

"What does this little Mr. Yang mean?" Qin Pi's assistant next to him felt insulted, and frowned suspiciously.

Yang Yi ignored this pawn at all, and turned his attention to Qin Pi, who was beside him with a sullen face and said nothing: "Boss Qin is sure that it is 300 million, and he is going to buy out the animations of a total of seven comics in the "Yunhuang" series." , 'plus' the right to adapt film and television?"

The middle conjunction has a strong bite.

And Yang Yi's noncommittal attitude, as well as the implicitly sarcastic question, made Qin Pi feel awkward. Until now, he finally began to feel that things were showing signs of getting out of control. People feel annoyed from the bottom of their hearts.

"What's wrong? Mr. Yang thinks there's something wrong?"

Yang Yi was dumbfounded, what a powerful aura this should be, and smiled at Qin Pi speechlessly: "For 300 million, I would rather sell it to Mr. Xiao who is next to me, and he even issued a volume of 80 yuan. Wan’s animation adaptation copyright fee, understand clearly, it’s only for animation.”

When Yang Yi said this, Qin Pi squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Mingnan: "Is this how Mr. Xiao is helping me connect?"

Next to him, Xiao Mingnan smiled, and he obviously didn't care much about Qin Pi's resentment: "I'm just talking, I thought Mr. Qin would definitely pay a high price, so I chatted casually with Xiao Yang when I was free in the morning. I quoted a price for chatting, but I didn't take it seriously at all, Mr. Qin, don't get me wrong!"

"Hehe, I really didn't know that Mr. Yang has such a big appetite!" Regarding Xiao Mingnan's remarks, Qin Pi had no choice but to point the finger at Yang Yi: "I don't know what's going on here, But obviously the author of "The Desolation of Clouds" is that little girl named Su Wan, but now that Siyue has pushed out Mr. Yang, I have to suspect that there is some ulterior motive in it!"

"This issue doesn't seem to be something Mr. Qin should be concerned about." Luo Ge smiled. He answered the conversation before Yang Yi, because he was afraid that Yang Yi would say something shocking again, which would make it impossible for both sides to get off the stage.

After the farce on New Year's Day, Rogo found that Yang Yi's mentality seemed to have changed a little. Everything was no longer calm, and his tolerance for some things was much lower.

"Speaking of which, Siyue and Mr. Yang have no intention of cooperating?" Qin Pi himself is not a serious businessman, and most of his work goes sideways. Otherwise, he would not be an animation company, but he has a public relations staff of more than ten people. team.After realizing the conflict between Yang Yi and Rogo, instead of thinking about how to alleviate this confrontation, it aroused his hostility.

"Actually, I didn't plan to meet you from the beginning, Brother Luo insisted on dragging me." Yang Yi smiled helplessly.

Qin Pi looked Yang Yi up and down for a while: "I may have forgotten to say that our Dingchen Cartoon has a first-class production team and distribution team, and many of them have worked in Shanghai Meiying before. In addition, our relationship with the radio and television department is also very important. That’s right, as long as Siyue is willing to talk to us, then not only animations, but also your books adapted into film and television works, we can also help, I can’t think of a reason not to accept this kind of win-win cooperation.”

Are you threatening me with the name of Radio and Television?It turned out that there was such a relationship, no wonder he dared to covet the right to adapt the animation of "Yunhuang".Yang Yixin became more and more impatient: "Oh, then you can do it well. Such a powerful animation company is nothing without "Yun Huang", and there are still a lot of good scripts."

Qin Pi's eyes jumped. He didn't expect that he would sacrifice the name of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. The young man in front of him dared to refuse directly. After a pause, he squinted his eyes: "You are still young, and some questions may not be clear. Boy, it’s not that you can play around if you want. The matter in the yamen, if you can settle it, you can settle it, and I will walk backwards when I go out.”

Qin Pi's words were already regarded as a threat from Chi Guoguo. Although the words were not intense, the yin and sorrowful tone was obviously more frightening than the intense conflict.

It is said that Qin Pi's hands and eyes are open to the sky. Judging by his arrogant demeanor, which is different from ordinary businessmen, it seems that those rumors are not exaggerating the facts.

But Tao Xingjing next to him couldn't stand it any longer. An outsider ran to the ground in Yuezhou and yelled so loudly in front of him, the director of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. No matter how you looked at it, it was disgusting, so he interrupted: "Hehe, Mr. Qin is also tired. He just arrived in Yuezhou at noon, and he rushed to negotiate in the afternoon, and he didn't have a good rest. Or, let's take a rest first, and we will talk tomorrow."
