Reborn Cultural Empire

186. Investigation

"Of course not. If there were only such a few things, why would Fujioka rush to mail them over as if to show his merits? He is not someone who has no discernment." Rogo chuckled: "The most important things are still inside, you can see for yourself look."

Yang Yi casually took out another document from the document bag. It wasn't in a very formal format, but he put a lot of thought into printing it.

Turning over the Japanese format file above, dragging it directly to the translation page at the back, and scanning it briefly, Yang Yi looked at Rogo in surprise: "A request for the right to adapt the animation? This is a bit unexpected."

Rogo stood next to him with a dazed face, not knowing the situation. He thought that Yang Yi would be happy because of the news, but he didn't expect this kind of reaction: "What's wrong? You're actually not happy?"

Yang Yi shook his head: "I can't say whether I'm happy or not? The main reason is that it's a bit unexpected. Brother Luo, you don't know the rules of manga adaptation and animation in the island country?"

After saying that, Yang Yi felt amused, he was a two-handed swordsman, and now he could stick scallions in his nose to bluff people like Rogo who were even more idiots than himself.

As expected by Yang Yi, Rogo shook his head repeatedly when he heard this, and said, "Why do I want to know this? Isn't this what you should do? Anyway, I didn't ask for your overseas copyright of "Clouds and Desolation" .”

Regarding Rogo's reaction, Yang Yi was not surprised when he saw it early in the morning, so he opened the bookcase that Mr. Pang used to decorate the facade. I made a full cup of strong tea, ignored his wail of "this is the last bit of Shifeng before the rain", took a full sip, and took the time to play with his common sense of the half bottle of water: "They Over there, there is no hard requirement in terms of sales when changing manga to animation, but if it is not a particularly popular new series, basically there is no chance. At most, it is just attention, it will definitely not be like this..."

While talking, he shook the letter of intent on his hand: "In less than two months since the comics were sold, such a request was made."

Rogo is too lazy to care about the rules of the island country. He has always been concerned about issues such as cooperation with his heart - can he make money?Or can't make money?

But he is not the kind of hun who doesn't take it to heart. Although everything is going well now, there are some things that must be kept in his heart.

For example——"Didn't you say Xiaoyi before, that is, when Shueisha came to people, didn't you say that your comics only released the neighboring rights of the agency publishing house? So this time Fujioka called to ask When it came to my tone, I directly refused."

Yang Yi glanced at Rogo in surprise, but Yang Yi didn't expect him to keep these things in his heart, and his heart warmed slightly, so he explained lightly: "Well, there are some things that I need to confirm, if I can reach my bottom line, then It’s fine to just reject that side. But if they don’t live up to it, then I can’t help it.”

Rogo looked at Yang Yi inexplicably: "Why are you not up to date? Which of them?"

"Go to Meiying."

……

For the three words "Shangmeiying", the post-[-]s generation will always inevitably mention them in the days of nostalgia.It's not just the generation born in the [-]s who will remember these three words.

At least as far as Yang Yi knows, several workers born in [-] in his previous life, and many post-[-]s he met on the Internet, are familiar with these three words, what are nine-color deer, what are snow children , What strange tales from heaven... These non-serial cartoons are also very clear, and some of them have been watched no less than three or five times.

But after entering the 90s, especially after [-], the words "Shangmeiying" gradually disappeared without a trace.Occasionally, on the channel column of a certain satellite TV, you can still see Shu Kebeta or the Hulu Brothers, but it is rare to see it on CCTV.

Sometimes Yang Yi would even be bored, and couldn’t help thinking in the direction of conspiracy theories—if Shangmei Film was not located in Shanghai, but changed its name to North American Film, would the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television and CCTV be more supportive? ?

In his previous life, he was determined and powerless, but after a lucky reincarnation, Yang Yi now has the determination and strength to "help his brother"—provided that the current Shanghai Meiying is not too aggressive.

……

"Hello everyone, this is Mr. Luo from Siyue Culture." Located at the entrance of Shangmei Film Studio on Qianhang Road, before Rogo's car entered the factory area, his eyelids were slightly drooping, forming an obvious eighth A zigzag man greeted him, followed by a few middle-level people.

Five or 60 years old, with a slightly longer Chinese character face, looks like an image of an intellectual who is too old-fashioned.And the drooping eyes not only did not add negative feelings such as triviality to him, but instead gave him a kind of deep worry, which seemed to be a little depressed.

Chang Guangxi, the director and helm of Shanghai Meiying from the late 80s to after 2000.

Yang’s impression of him is quite good. Under the extensive academic mechanism of administrative leadership in later generations, Chang Guangxi’s experience is somewhat like the promotion path of a university president—from the Shanghai Film Academy After graduating from the Department of Animation, he entered Shanghai Meiying. He has participated in the production of many animations, and three of them are well-known.

Nezha Naohai's animator, Snow Child's modeling design, and Lotus Lantern's director.

It's just that he alone can't resist the trend of the times. In the series of cartoons produced by Shanghai Meiying after 96, it is almost impossible to pick out any attractive things.

So when Rogo called and expressed the intention of the author of "The Desolation of Clouds" to cooperate with Shanghai Meiying, Chang Guangxi talked about it almost day and night.

This is not some messy and unknown third-rate pictorial, but "Yun Huang", which is now popular all over the country.If this comic can be successfully adapted, it will not be difficult for Shanghai Meiying to regain its former glory.

So Chang Guangxi didn't wait in his office, but after confirming on the phone, almost half an hour earlier, he waited at the door with a few middle-level executives from Meiying.

He is very clear that Shanghai Meiying does not have much competitiveness now, and he has also inquired through his few channels that the cartoons played by Siyue at the New Year's Day Book Fair seem to be produced by an island animation company.

After thinking about it, Chang Guangxi found helplessly that only sincerity, sincerity, is the only competitive condition for Shanghai Meiying.

Rogo was sitting in the small car in front of him. He was going to drive directly into the factory area, but when he saw a group of people waiting at the door from a distance, he got out of the car with some dumbfounding: "Director Chang, I'm really embarrassed to come here like this. How dare you wait for me at the gate."

I'm afraid that if I don't show a little sincerity, you Mr. Luo will ignore us in the end.

Can Chang Guangxi say that?Of course not, so he just chuckled: "We should, we should, just to promote democratic culture in the cartoon "Yun Huang", we should also welcome it backwards."

Promote a democratic culture?In the car at the back, Yang Yi, who was leading Su Wan and getting the girl out of the car, was taken aback. Although he knew that his words were mostly compliments, there was no doubt that the factory director had scratched Yang Yi's itch.

According to the shameless self-defense of a reborn person, pseudo-Chinese learning is also Chinese learning.

And here Rogo also heard the smell, so he said jokingly: "It turns out that Director Chang is only for "Clouds and Desolation", it seems that I am redundant, since that is the case, Xiaowan is behind, You just have to pick her up."

At this moment, Chang Guangxi was extremely embarrassed, knowing that he was in a hurry, and he didn't even speak well.

However, Luo Ge took Yang Yi's "will" to come to Meiying with his team, some jokes said that it was over, and now he was waiting for Yang Yi to bring Su Wan over.

Because this time is considered as an inspection of Shanghai Meiying, so there are more people following it, which looks very formal.Instead of the usual partner of Rogo and Yang Yi, a pair of good gay friends.

"This is Su Wan. Director Chang, you can call him Xiao Wan, the chief writer of "Clouds and Desolation." After Yang Yi and Su Wan also came to the crowd, Rogo casually gave Chang Guangxi Introduced.

But in fact, there is no need for Rogo's introduction. People who really love animation in Shangmeiying almost know Su Wan's identity. They also talk about girls and her works from time to time. Now I see Su Wan. After the late real person, all of them looked green with green eyes, scrutinizing them closely.

They are all uncles or even grandpas. It is said that their eyes are green, but in fact these people are just curious and amazed at Su Wan. Although their eyes are warm, there is not much uncomfortable element. Most of the appreciation and love.

However, after experiencing so many things together with Su Wan, Yang Yi is already very sensitive to the gazes of outsiders looking at Su Wan. Although most of these gazes are still within the normal range, there is a rather fiery gaze, Staring at Su Wan firmly, she remained motionless.

In addition to admiration and love, there is obviously a man's admiration and love for a wonderful woman.

Calmly and casually scanning the past, Yang Yi was a little surprised to find that this was a man of the same type as himself, but his face was a bit more mature, and he probably didn't have the same type of man who used to hang out at the bottom of society. Experience, so the taste of books is stronger.

All in all, he is still a young guy with a bit of masculine charm.If you are a girl who likes the traditional scholar type, you should not have much resistance.

"Uh, who is this?" Because of Yang Yi's position, besides Luo Ge and Su Wan, the person standing in front of Siyue is Yang Yi. The remaining assistant Zhang, Luo Wei'an, Ge's little secretary, and several animation editors from Siyue's third department stood behind the three of them.That's why Chang Guangxi asked curiously but politely.

Rogo stared at Yang Yi with a look similar to rolling his eyes, and said with a dry smile: "He, Director Chang, you can just call him Xiao Yi, he is... he is Xiao Wan's manager, and he is the manager of Xiao Wan's works. He is responsible for copyright operations.”

Su Wan's manager, this is Yang Yi's new job defined for himself.

Because of a short class with Ji Tangdan, he realized his many shortcomings.Apart from the few historical dynasties he was interested in, Yang Yi suddenly discovered that he was indeed a semi-literate existence when it comes to Chinese studies.

In the eyes of a master like Ji Tangdan, the gap between himself and a purely illiterate like Rogo is probably not too big.

So in order to prevent someone from asking related historical questions after hearing that he was the author of "Those Things in the Song Dynasty", Yang Yi decided to... hide the beginning and the end.

For a person who has not studied the name of the Ci brand in depth, is he ashamed to tell others that he is the author of "Song Dynasty"?

After hearing Rogo's introduction here, Chang Guangxi and his party looked at each other in dismay. Although the name of manager was new, it was not unheard of.

But is it really reliable for such a half-grown kid to be an agent?

If it weren't for the widespread circulation of Su Wan's photos, they would even think that these people in front of them are liars.

"Oh, that, hello, Mr. Xiao Yi." Chang Guangxi organized some words, and took the lead to say hello with some reservations.

Rogo couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Director Chang, it's Xiaoyi, the one who is small in size, and the one who is one, two, three, four. His name is Yang Yi, so you can call him Xiaoyi."

Chang Guangxi smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and then stretched out his hand again: "Oh, it's Xiaoyi... classmate, it shouldn't be a problem to call you here?"

The poor factory manager was almost spoiled by Yang Yi and Luo Ge, and he became a little embarrassed.

"No, such a ting is appropriate." Yang Yi smiled generously, and then extended his hand: "I hope this inspection can be a good start for the cooperation between our two parties."

"whispering sound."

There was a slight disdain, but most of the people in the circle still heard it.
