: Payment of copyright fees

“Selling the copyright is a good choice for us.” Erika Yano, who has been eating all the time, also agrees.

Regardless of whether it is this world or the previous life, if China wants to buy the broadcast copyright of Japanese animation, almost no Japanese company is unwilling. Situations where you want to buy but can’t.

“The president still has a lot of connections.” Aoi Miyamori nodded secondarily. Most of the time, Aoi Miyamori would unconditionally agree with what Yano Erica said.

“It is tX who purchased the copyright. You also know their person in charge in Japan, Chen Hao.” Su Jie smiled. Speaking out about the copyright is also an encouraging thing for the company. Su Jie plans to announce it when he goes back. This news.

“If this relationship can be maintained, the animations produced by our company may not have to worry about copyright in China in the future.” Erica Yano looked at Su Jie and said, “President, this relationship must be maintained.”

“Our company “Hua Monogatari” is all trainees sent by their tx. It is not easy to break this relationship, and as long as we maintain the high-quality policy and make each animation better than the last, the copyright will never be lost. Worry about selling, strength is the foundation, and connections can only be regarded as auxiliary.”

Su Jie said indifferently, it is true that tx is of great help to the current Firefly Company, but if Firefly Company does not make progress in the future and does not produce high-quality animation, the cooperative relationship between the two parties will break down no matter how good it is.

Whether it is a talent training plan or copyright purchase, strength is the foundation of Firefly. Just imagine that if Firefly cannot produce high-quality animation, it will not be able to train personnel for tx, and if the animation is not good, tx will not foolishly pay for it.

Especially after a few years, with the current trend of vigorously developing animation in China, the animation in China will not be weak at that time, and there will be no need for all animations like now, including the animations just produced by a new company called Su Jie, which also cost money Buy.

When the Chinese animation industry develops, the demand for Japanese animation will weaken. If you always produce some low-end animation, let alone Tencent, other Chinese companies will not take a look.

Xingjin Yujia was a little surprised, and there was a hint of surprise on his cold face. Usually, Su Jie felt like an ordinary high school student, and he didn’t expect to have such a big picture.

“China’s economy has developed too fast in recent years. With the foundation brought by its huge population, the animation market there will definitely be a must for all animation production companies in the future.”

Yuka Xingjin spoke objectively about the necessity of developing the Chinese market.

A few people were talking about the Chinese animation market, and they didn’t end the discussion until after dinner.

“President, I will leave the bill to you.” Erika Yano’s eyes brightened, and she said seriously, “If there is nothing else, are you free tonight?”

“Hehe, I’m free, the president is free, let’s have dinner together at night.” Miyamori Aoi giggled, showing a cute dimpled face that makes people want to pinch.

“You are still relying on me, and the landlord’s family has no food left!” Su Jie complained.

Knowing that the two were joking, Su Jie couldn’t really say yes.

A few people rested outside in the shade of the grass, and only returned to Firefly Company in the afternoon when they went to work.

The things that the company needs to deal with are basically arranged in the morning. Su Jie spends the afternoon playing computer games in the company, or walking around to inspect the company’s work situation.

As for going home, there is no one at home, and Su Jie has nothing to do when he goes home.

“Su Jie, I brought someone here.” But Su Jie didn’t really relax, a crisp voice called Su Jie.

It was Luo Tianyi who called out, this foodie girl came back from nowhere, she was gnawing a rice dumpling in her hand, and she didn’t know where she bought it or if she made it herself, and she was carrying two Chinese dumplings behind her. Young people, they are all dressed in suits and leather shoes, in their thirties, they look like elite white-collar workers.

“Who?” Su Jie asked strangely.

“People who negotiate to buy copyrights! Don’t you want to buy copyrights?” Luo Tianyi is even more strange than Su Jie.

“Didn’t it mean tomorrow?”

“I was playing at my uncle’s place. I heard that you were going to buy the copyright, so I brought someone here. Aren’t you short of money recently? Is there something wrong with buying the copyright?If you get less income, sell it early to ease the financial pressure. ”

Luo Tianyi said it as a matter of course, with his head held high, as if I was doing my best for you.

“Eh!” Su Jie knew this was the case, and was a little moved. Luo Tianyi didn’t know that Firefly Company had resolved its financial crisis, so he specially brought someone here.

“Thank you. I’ll take you there if you want to eat.” Su Jie is in a good mood. Usually, Luo Tianyi wants Su Jie to treat him, but it is basically difficult to succeed. Now Su Jie is rare and generous.

“Really.” The foodie Luo Tianyi’s eyes lit up, her beautiful face was radiant, she stretched out a little finger and said, “Then it’s a deal.”

“You set a time, and this time I promise you won’t waste your money.” Su Jie patted his chest, stretched out his little finger and pulled it with Luo Tianyi.

“Wait for me to think about what to eat.” Luo Tianyi was very happy, but she didn’t forget that she came here, turned around and looked at the two tx negotiators behind, and explained: “This is the Firefly Company that cooperates with our company. Long, you can talk to him about the sale of copyright.”

“Hello, President Su, I’m Zhang Shao and I’m Li Zhen. This time, at the request of Manager Chen Hao, I’m here to discuss the purchase of the exclusive copyright of the animation “Daily Life of High School Boys” in China. Can we talk now?”

The two shook hands with Su Jie respectively and introduced them politely.

“You can talk. You follow me to the meeting room.” Su Jie took them to the meeting room, and briefly introduced the basic situation of “Daily Life of High School Boys” to them.

“Wait a minute, I’ll call my assistant over to negotiate the price with you.” Su Jie called Xingjin Yuka. Su Jie himself is not good at price negotiation. The main reason is that he has no experience before, and he doesn’t know how to sell animation copyrights for the maximum value. Experienced Xingtsu Yuka comes over best.

Soon, Yuka Xingjin in business attire entered the meeting room and sat opposite the negotiators of the tx party.

Although she is only a person or a woman, her aura is not weak at all. The temperament of a cold beauty is not only stunning, but also has a strong aura and a clever tongue, which deeply expresses what it means to be a woman who does not give in to a man.

On the contrary, Zhang Shao and Li Zhen lost the calmness they had when they were talking to Su Jie just now. It can be seen that Xingjin Youjia put a lot of pressure on them.

*******************

Negotiations started in the afternoon and continued until the evening.

Most of the time, this kind of business negotiation is not accomplished overnight. Let alone a one-day negotiation, sometimes it takes a week or even a month.

The interests involved in business negotiations are too great. When a point is converted into money, the unit is tens of thousands. It is impossible to settle the transaction with a few words like buying vegetables on the street.

Xingjin Youjia, Zhang Shao and Li Zhen had already drank two pots of tea, and they didn’t know how much saliva was spent. The verbal battle between each other almost never stopped.

“”Daily Life of High School Boys” is a work that took us several months and all 54 employees to complete. What is called a new company work is not guaranteed. We have well-known supervisors, mature employees, and a complete animation system. , including a copywriting script provided by a well-known cartoonist, novelist, and cult gentleman, isn’t that a guarantee?”

Xingjin Yujia still didn’t lose the wind after several hours, and she spoke coldly and toughly with two big men, which was always in line with her personality. Usually, she didn’t even talk to Su Jie very much, and it was the same with others. Zhong didn’t feel guilty at all because Zhang Shao and Li Zhen were employees of a big company tx.

“Although that’s what you said, but a new company wants a price of 150,000 RMB per story, it’s still…forgive us that it’s hard to agree.” Zhang Shao blushed and had a thick neck, completely disagreeing with what Yuka Xingjin said.

“We’re not saying that Firefly is bad, but in Japan, among the Japanese animation companies that we cooperate with tx, there are very few companies that can sell copyrights at this price. Even if there are, others are well-known animation companies with many animations Works, this is the real guarantee.” Li Zhen also spoke, and the two cooperated with each other as a negotiation, and argued with Xingjin Yujia, refusing to give in to each other.

Both parties are for their own interests. It is difficult to let go. These people are all psychologically strong and will not make concessions just because of some conditions you mentioned.

Su Jie and Luo Tianyi sat next to each other, and they basically didn’t participate in the conversation. They just talked, that is, to keep the two sides from arguing too fiercely. If others saw this, they would think that something was going on here.

“The copyright fee of 150,000 yuan per episode, do you know how much we spent on producing “Daily Life of High School Boys”? It’s around 2 million yuan per month. This copyright fee is too little, and it’s not enough for us for a few days. cost.”

Yuka Xingjin said coldly, this statement is true, not fabricated for the sake of negotiation, Su Jie’s monthly income from “One Punch Man” is basically invested in the production of “Daily Life of High School Boys”, This barely completes the production of the animation.

For the 150,000 per episode copyright fee given by tx, “The Daily Life of High School Boys” has a total of 13 episodes, which is 1.95 million. After deducting taxes, it is estimated to be around 1.5 million. The Daily Life of High School Boys was produced for several months, and the miscellaneous expenses added up to more than 10 million yuan, which is really not much in comparison.

This is still the exclusive copyright. To be honest, it is very low. In Su Jie’s previous life, the slightly more popular anime, that is, Japan’s late-night new anime, had an exclusive copyright of around 5.6 million. Now and nowCompared with the 150,000 of the current one, the difference is several times.

However, Su Jie didn’t interrupt. The animation market has not yet been developed. Not to mention China, even Japanese animation is still in the development stage. It is not at the real peak period like in the previous life, and the price will not rise so high.

“Since you are unwilling to buy out the copyright fee, how about we change the way to pay the copyright fee?”

Seeing that no one could convince anyone, Zhang Shao suddenly said that he wanted to pay the copyright fee by sharing.

The copyright fee mentioned above is a buyout, that is to say, after paying 150,000 RMB per episode, all subsequent tx’s income in China will have nothing to do with Firefly.

As for the sharing now, it is not paying the copyright fee of 150,000 RMB per episode, but using the sharing method, using the proceeds from the broadcasting of animation works on Chinese websites, and using the divided proceeds to pay the copyright fee.

Su Jie remembered that in his previous life, he had seen a piece of animation copyright news purchased in Europe and the United States, which was in the form of sharing. It said that a Japanese animation was clicked to play on a certain video website in Europe and America. Exclusive copyright, if there are more websites that buy copyright, the income will explode.

If you just look at it this way, you may think that the share is very good, much better than a buyout.

Because China is a country with a large population, even if the animation market has just developed, the proportion of the population watching animation is not large, but the population cannot stand up! No matter how small the proportion is, it is a huge number.

But don’t forget that the news that Su Jie saw was from Europe and the United States, not China. This method of splitting is very feasible in Europe and the United States, because there is almost no pirated version in Europe and the United States, and video sites that have purchased copyright can get the most income.

In China, piracy is rampant, and video sites that purchase copyright rely on traffic to bring other profits to the site, not animation itself. People watch animation in addition to genuine ones, and there are many pirated websites to choose from, which brings a result. The copyright owner does not get his own share of the income, even if there is not much.

After hearing what Zhang Shao said, Su Jie couldn’t sit still any longer. He stood up and said, “Let’s forget about the method of sharing. Let’s talk about buying out.”

Then he gave Xingjin Youjia a look, telling him not to listen to the two people’s nonsense, and the method of splitting said nothing, splitting was difficult in China’s previous life, and it is said that under the current environment, Su Jie’s head Only when there is a problem will it agree to share the contract of paying the copyright fee.

Zhang Shao and Li Zhen looked at each other, feeling rather regretful. Seeing that Su Jie refused so resolutely, they knew that this method of sharing was useless.

Xingjin Yujia also carried out what Su Jie said. In the following conversation, as long as the two of them had plans to increase the share, they would immediately keep silent until they let go.

After a lot of arguing, at nine o’clock in the evening, after all the company people left, the discussion in the conference room finally came to a conclusion.

tx company has purchased the exclusive copyright of “Daily Life of High School Boys” in China at a price of 195,000 yuan per episode, and Su Jie finally nodded in agreement with this price.

The main reason was seeing that it was really impossible to raise the price, and Su Jie hadn’t even had a meal yet, so he agreed if he couldn’t bear it anymore, and he didn’t miss the price of 18,000 yuan.

The final result is a happy one. Su Jie doesn’t expect to make a lot of money from copyright fees. After signing the contract, Su Jie invites a few people to have a big meal together, and then returns home slowly.
