Chapter 166 Agreed

"If it is three million, if you ask a big company team to do the high-quality animation production of these two works, it may be lacking, but in fact, there are many things, Mr. Shui Xin, you can completely bypass many small animation companies or animation production. The team, its technical and personnel strength is not bad at all, and the fee is also low, if you ask those teams to make animations, if it is three million, it is only a work with a speed of five centimeters per second and the voice of the stars, that is enough."

"Producer Huang has that kind of relationship?" Chu Yu froze when he heard that.

But right away, he noticed something was wrong.

As a nine-star animation producer, why did Huang Ming tell him this?

Although the two have worked together, the relationship is not so good.

"Producer Huang said that it shouldn't be to help me for free! What are the requirements or conditions?" Chu Yu said directly.

"Teacher Shui Xin is really sharp." Huang Ming stared at Chu Yu.

"Actually, I want to ask Teacher Shui Xin. Do you have any intention to cooperate with me?"

"With you?" When Chu Yu heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Huang Ming meant.

It is to cooperate with him Huang Ming. Not to cooperate with Jiuxing!

"The Yellow Producer Means"

"Then I'll just say it directly!" Huang Ming looked at Chu Yu.

"For the animation of these two works, I want to invest 600,000 yuan, and then I can find an animation production team with a low price but absolutely top-notch production technology through my relationship. After the animation production is successful, there will be operations related to the works. , publicity, and sales I can solve through my relationship.”

"But. No matter whether the final work is made at a loss or a profit, I will take 40% of the income from these two works!" Huang Ming looked at Chu Yu with a smile.

"Producer Huang. Do you mean that you want to contribute to the production of these two works with me?" Chu Yu asked.

"That's right." Huang Ming nodded.

After all, it is indeed inappropriate to make such a request so abruptly.

It's just that he really likes these two works, and now there is such a condition for intervention.

He understands that animation production is not that simple. Funding, teamwork, publicity, and broadcasting, these series of processes are difficult for Chu Yu, who is less than 20 years old, to solve.

This not only requires industry experience, but also contacts in the industry.

The latter is very important, even more important than funds.

That's why Huang Ming proposed such a condition.

He contributed a part of the funds, and in the form of technical shares, he took up 40% of the shares.

"Of course, I'm just a suggestion." Huang Ming said.

"If Teacher Shui Xin disagrees, I can understand. I can also help Teacher Shui Xin to find an excellent team to make these two works. However, I may not be able to help Shui Xin with other related matters after the successful production of the works. Teacher Xin solved it."

This is also a matter of course. Although Huang Ming is very optimistic about Chu Yu, and even more optimistic about the two works brought by Chu Yu, but adults always pay attention to interests. As a nine-star producer Huang Ming, he has this His strength to help Chu Yu solve many animation issues related to 5cm per second and the Voice of the Stars, but why did he waste too much of his time helping Chu Yu?

Chu Yu heard the words and was silent for a while.

"Producer Huang, I want to ask why you want to invest in the two works: Five Centimeters Per Second and Voice of the Stars??" Chu Yu asked.

"Nothing? A big company like Jiuxing will reject your submission due to risk and rate of return, but I won't." Huang Ming looked at Chu Yu.

"I am very optimistic about these two works. I think they will be popular, and you just need me to join you to solve some professional problems for you. In this case, it is natural for me to have such thoughts."

Chu Yu nodded when he heard the words.

To be honest, Chu Yu is not disgusted with Huang Ming's proposal to invest in capital. After all, whether his money is enough to produce these two works is still a matter of two things, and Chu Yu also has a series of matters about how to make money after production. not understand.

Find a professional person to take charge of this matter, and give him some benefits so that he can do his best to be responsible for the work. This was also Chu Yu's idea at the beginning.

If you are reluctant to bear these promises, you may end up losing more.

And even if Huang Ming doesn't join, Chu Yu will have to find a special person to take charge of this matter. Although Huang Ming doesn't invest much, the various relationships he brings are also invisible resources. There are people in the industry like Huang Ming With the addition of senior people, at least Chu Yu will not be defrauded by many companies in the process of making two works.

It's just that 40 percent is way too high.

Chu Yu contributed a lot of money, and also published the script, and even the music of the work is ready-made. It is unreasonable for Huang Ming to want such a high proportion of income.

Although Chu Yu is not very concerned about the monetary benefits of the works, he is more concerned about whether the works can earn him world points and system rewards.

But it is not that kind of taking advantage of it, and the interests that should be fought are still to be fought for.

"Twenty percent" Chu Yu began to bargain.

He doesn't know the market very well, but Chu Yu's daily haggling starts from half, and this time is no exception.

Huang Ming was stunned when he heard the words, and then understood what Chu Yu meant.

"Twenty percent? Mr. Shui Xin, are you making a sincere counter-offer? I contributed 600,000, plus your 3 million totaling 3.6 million, my contribution alone accounts for nearly 100%. One seventeen, do you think that I used my relationship to find an animation production team, and then I was responsible for the post-production, publicity, and negotiation with all parties. The voices are much louder.

This is his usual habit. When negotiating, the momentum must be calmed by the other party.

It's just that Chu Yu didn't feel anything about it.

"Then I have also written the script for the story, and I have hired someone to create the entire soundtrack of the animation." Chu Yu said calmly.

Huang Ming's mind revolved when he heard the words, both of them contributed to the creation of the works in addition to funds, and it would not be beneficial to him to talk about such a topic.

"Thirty-five percent." Huang Ming did not discuss this direction with Chu Yu.

"Twenty-one percent." Chu Yu looked at Huang Ming.

"What's there to talk about with this one percent gain?" Huang Ming discovered for the first time that the young man in front of him was really not good at speaking.

"Thirty-three percent, this is my bottom line. If Teacher Shui Xin disagrees with this, there is nothing to talk about."

"Twenty-two percent." Chu Yu didn't believe the bottom line.

This is the same as going to buy something. The seller always says that it will not sell if it is lower than the price. When you are leaving, he will call you back in most cases.

"." Huang Ming.

Half an hour later, Huang Ming finally agreed with Chu Yu's 28% proposal.

Mainly, he could see that Chu Yu's psychological bottom line was this number.

Although it was a bit worse than the 30% figure he imagined, Huang Ming really felt that these two works had the potential to become popular, and he didn't want to give up such an opportunity.

In the end, it was a preliminary consensus with Chu Yu.

Neither of them thought that they thought it was a meeting for a meal and chat, but it turned into a bizarre business in the end.

This is only the result of a temporary agreement between the two. If it is someone else, maybe they will go back after thinking about it for a while, but in terms of the personalities of Chu Yu and Huang Ming, if there are no special circumstances, they will basically not go back. .

After the two agreed on the time to sign the agreement, Huang Ming and Chu Yu separated.

Of course, Chu Yu also asked if Huang Ming's behavior would not be within the allowable range of Jiuxing Company.

Huang Ming said a word to Chu Yu.

"Many bosses of small and medium-sized animation companies in Magic Capital have worked in big animation companies such as Jiuxing, Dakai, and Qiyu."

Chu Yu instantly understood what Huang Ming meant.

This guy is obviously the kind of person who will jump out and do it alone when he has the opportunity, and he also has the idea of ​​​​achieving a career by himself.

The premise is that there is such an opportunity.

For Huang Ming, an investment of 600,000 is nothing, even if he loses a lot, he can get back half of his capital, and a loss of hundreds of thousands will not hurt him.

But if the bet on Chu Yu's works is successful this time, perhaps for him, he can open up a new path for his career in the future.

After the two were greeted, they went back.

Huang Ming was thinking about how to form an animation production team.

And Chu Yu. should also start thinking about the serialization of Initial D.

Next week is the day Li Xi said that the initial D will be submitted to the serialization meeting.

If all goes well in the serialization meeting.

In the days to come, Chu Yu will be very busy.

Not only is he responsible for the comic drawing work of Natsume's Friends Book, but also the serialization of the initial D. In addition, the school needs to be completed, and if the cooperation with Huang Ming goes well, Chu Yu, the boss, will definitely Be distracted by the animation at 5 Centimeters Per Second and the Sound of the Stars.

Not to mention Makoto Shinkai's original level, at least, the style of painting and the exquisiteness of the picture should be restored.

As the main creator, Chu Yu will definitely consume a lot of energy to communicate with the animation production team about the production direction and production level of these two works. Perhaps for many beautiful scenes in the animation, Chu Yu will also draw comic drafts for the team members' minds. There is a rough outline of creation. .
