"Dad, I know."
"By the way, don't forget the flowers."
Lin Yanwan's face turned slightly red.
The two got out of the car and walked into the community. Jiang Wende looked at their backs, with a smile unconsciously on his face, leisurely took out a Chaotianmen and lit it, and the smoke was lingering.
This kid Jiang Xia is much stronger than when he was young.
◇
"Go back early, I'm not a child anymore." Lin Yanwan said.
Jiang Xia took her hand and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are not a child, otherwise I am afraid that I will be reported for copper smelting."
"..."
Lin Yanwan rolled his eyes angrily, this guy is really annoying sometimes.
Isn't Xiaoman only 6 years old?
All the way to the elevator, Jiang Xia pressed the fifth floor for her, and said: "I won't go up, you go to bed early tonight, and the day after tomorrow will start dubbing episode 13 at the latest."
"You too, please remember, you did a massage today, so you can't take a cold shower." Lin Yanwan reminded.
"Don't worry, I'll go back and sleep."
"Well, send me a message when it's time."
The elevator door closed slowly, Jiang Xia exercised his muscles and bones, walked out of the elevator room, looked up at the clear night sky, the stars in the sky were twinkling, as if they were smiling at him.
He opened the passenger car door and sat in. Jiang Wende exhaled the last puff of smoke ring outside the window, turned to look at him: "Did Yan Wan's parents let you in?"
"It was sent to the elevator, and I didn't go upstairs." Jiang Xia pursed her lips, and put on her seat belt on her own.
Jiang Wende nodded, his mouth squirmed a few times, but he didn't ask any more questions before starting the car and heading home.
Back home, Xia Shanshan was watching TV and soaking her feet, and there was a thick layer of mugwort leaves floating in the basin. She looked back at the father and son who were walking home, and said, "The water has just been boiled, come and soak your feet. "
"Go clubbing, I'll take a shower."
Jiang Xia went back to her room, took her pajamas and walked into the bathroom, leaving behind a faint scent of roses.Although the rose essential oil on the back was wiped clean with oil-absorbing paper, it still had a sticky feeling.
Xia Shanshan sniffed her nose and asked suspiciously, "Where did you see him?"
"The two were dating in Gaosuntang Square. This kid even bought a rose. I drove someone over there, but we just ran into each other. You don't know, this kid may have seen the license plate and turned his back on purpose, but How could he deceive his father?"
Jiang Wende took off his shoes, put his feet, which had been on the brake pedal for a day, into the foot basin, and let out a comfortable moan.
"I just said why he still ran out at that time, did you see that there is still a faint mark of lipstick on that kid's face." Xia Shanshan laughed.
"Really?" Jiang Wende was taken aback, but he didn't notice.
"The child is old, maybe in two years, we will have to come to propose marriage."
"They will only be 20 years old in two years, at least four or five years."
"A marriage is an engagement, and a marriage is a marriage, and there is no contradiction."
"Why don't you say you will have a grandson in a few years?"
"In that case, it's not impossible~"
The couple were whispering, Jiang Xia came out in cool pajamas after taking a shower, with steam all over her body.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to bed first, and you guys go to bed early too."
After closing the bedroom door, Jiang Xia lay on the bed and chatted with his wife on QQ for a while, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
◇
At about ten o'clock the next day, Jiang Xia received a call from Zhou Lu. He guessed that it should be that the TV station had just finished a meeting, and the content was nothing more than his request for a price increase yesterday.
As for the result, he didn't care much about it, and even hoped that the TV station would angrily reject it, so that he would not have to care about the kindness of knowing him.
Thinking in this way, Jiang Xia continued to draw the storyboard and pressed the hands-free button at the same time.
"Director Jiang, in response to your request yesterday, after a serious discussion, the station agreed to the broadcasting rights of the second round of Tom and Jerry, and renewed the contract at a price of 7000 per episode." Zhou Lu didn't even exchange pleasantries this time. He said straight to the point, his tone sounded a little tired.
Hearing the words to discuss seriously, Jiang Xia smiled silently.
I can almost imagine how intense the discussion at the meeting was. Some people probably called him a white-eyed wolf who didn't know how to report favors. Without Yudu TV's vigorous promotion, would cat and mouse be as popular as they are now?
"Isn't it an exclusive broadcast right?"
"No."
Zhou Lu swallowed her dry throat, and continued: "No matter which TV station you sell the broadcast rights to in the future, there is only one requirement in the station, that is, to stagger the broadcasting time, and the broadcast progress of other stations is at least one day later than that in the station. "
Jiang Xia frowned slightly. He understood Zhou Lu's meaning, but this could be regarded as an exclusive broadcasting right in disguise. If viewers want to watch the latest episode of animation, they can only switch to Yudu TV Station. The progress of other channels is slow. Gotta go back a little bit.
To be able to come up with such a condition, it can only be said that ginger is still old and spicy.
"Director Jiang, this is already the biggest concession I can get for you." Zhou Lu pursed Min Min's lips, fearing that if he was unhappy, he would refuse directly, which would be equivalent to throwing away all the hard work that had been going on for half a day.
"I know, Zhou Bian's voice sounds a little hoarse. It must have taken a lot of talking, right? Would you like to drink some water first?" Jiang Xia put down her pencil, leaned on the back of the chair, and said with a smile.
"No, what do you think?" she said.
Jiang Xia tapped the table with her fingers, and sighed: "Editor Zhou has helped me so much, I would be a bit clueless if I refused any more."
"Then when do you think you'll be free to sign the contract again?" She was overjoyed and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Editor Zhou, I really don't have time recently. There are so many storyboards every day that I can't finish drawing. It takes hours to go back and forth to the TV station, and the progress is slowed down." Jiang Xia said with a bitter face.
"That way, Director Jiang can create with peace of mind. I'll send you the electronic file of the contract to have a look. If you think there's no problem, I'll go find you." Zhou Lu said.
"It couldn't be better." Jiang Xia twirled the pencil and agreed unceremoniously.
It's not that he's playing big cards, but that he really doesn't have time.
After hanging up the phone, he once again had a deeper understanding of fame.
When you are not famous, even if you lick your face, no one will necessarily treat you.Now that he has fame, if the other party wants something from him, as long as the conditions put forward are not too outrageous, they will basically agree.
And this is only half of the first round of cat and mouse. I believe that in the near future, the name Qitian Animation will appear dazzlingly on the list of well-known animation companies in China.
"Xia Xia, who were you calling just now?" Xia Shanshan pushed open the door and asked suspiciously.
"Nothing, it's just that there will be a teacher appreciation banquet in a few days, and some classmates asked me to attend." Jiang Xia said casually.
"Oh, I have to go. The teachers at the school have worked hard for three years. No matter whether you do well or not in the exam, you have to say thank you to them."
Xia Shanshan continued: "When is it coming?"
"It seems to be number ten." Jiang Xia thought for a while and said.
"Don't worry, it's only the second day today, and there are still a few days left. What do you want for lunch?"
"Is braised pork ribs okay? I want the kind of bone that is wrapped with a circle of meat, and when the teeth are bitten lightly, the flesh and bone will separate and the juice will overflow."
"Okay! I'll go to the vegetable market to buy fresh ribs." Xia Shanshan said with a smile: "Then keep busy, I won't bother you."
She is an elementary school Chinese teacher, and she doesn't understand why Jiang Xia locked herself in the room to draw every day after being admitted to the best university.
But at least it's better than those who go to Internet cafes and play games every day during the holidays.
It is said that Qingmei seems to have a tradition of school tests, and her son is drawing so hard now, maybe it is to prepare for the school tests.
Just like him in the past few months, he studied very late every day, and the final exam was a blockbuster.
Thinking of this, Xia Shanshan closed the door with a face of relief. To have such a sensible and good son, it must be the ancestors of his old Jiang family who burned high incense.
Jiang Xia smiled silently, his status at home is not so high now, and his career is rising steadily, he feels quite proud of himself.
If he tells his parents the identity of the owner of Qitian Animation Company in the future, the old couple will probably confess him.
Take a deep breath, put the messy thoughts behind your head, and continue to immerse yourself in the storyboard.
About half an hour later, Zhou Lu called again.
"Boss Jiang, I have sent the renewal contract to your mailbox, please take some time to check it out."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xia went into the study and turned on the computer, ignoring the very popular QQ farm that popped up by itself, he directly opened the mailbox and downloaded the file he just received.
After carefully reviewing it several times, he found that the content was similar to the last time, except that there were strict restrictions on third-party cooperation matters, and the exclusive rights to broadcast the second season of Tom and Jerry were also included in the contract.
Although no specific amount was specified, as long as he signed the contract, it meant that the exclusive rights to broadcast the second season could only be handed over to Yudu TV Station.
If the price is not negotiated, he may have to rot the animation in his hands and cannot sell it to others, and he may even have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.
After suffering from the loss of the previous life contract, he felt that there was a problem, so he dialed the phone back.
"Editor Zhou, I can agree to the condition of delaying the broadcast with other TV stations, but it seems a bit early to talk about the exclusive rights to broadcast the second season, right?"
"Director Jiang, didn't you agree to this matter a long time ago? Taili just wanted to write the agreed things into the contract, and also for more convenient cooperation in the future." Zhou Lu said.
"I did promise it, and I am very grateful to Yudu TV for giving the opportunity to broadcast cat and mouse, but one code counts for one code, let's talk about the second season and the second season, I am not the kind of person who breaks promises There will be a third season and a fourth season in the future, I hope that the station can face up to my request, and editor Zhou doesn't want us to only cooperate for two seasons, right?" Jiang Xia said seriously.
The dissatisfaction in his tone almost hit his face directly, meaning that if everyone is unhappy, they will break up in the future, and he will not sign the renewal contract this time.
After all, he is not a fool, he is still setting a trap for him, if he is not careful, he may fall into the pit.
"This..." Zhou Lu hesitated for a while, "Okay, then Director Jiang will wait for me for a while, and I will ask the leader for instructions."
"Ah."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xia rubbed her brows tiredly.
He still thinks too well about the TV station. As a vested interest, of course he wants to maximize his own interests. If he can't make money, he and his works have to be scrapped.
Of course, this kind of sinister intention is just a guess at the moment, and maybe it's just an agreement made by the leaders in Taiwan to fear that he will go back on his word.
The truth depends on how Zhou Lu answers him.
If he refuses to modify the content of the contract, Yudu TV Station is the former, and there is no need to continue to cooperate in the future, and there is no need to look at other people's faces when his own animation website is launched in the future.
If he readily agrees to modify the content, it means that he is treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
Fortunately, Zhou Lu responded quickly.
"Director Jiang, the leaders of the station have agreed. We all trust you as a person, so please give Yudu TV the exclusive right to broadcast the second season of Tom and Jerry." Zhou Lu said with a smile.
"That's natural."
"I sent the contract over, and you can see if there are any other questions."
