Another World Under My Pen

Chapter 208: Cookie-cutter name

Not surprisingly, Sun Peng's trip to the publishing house on Tuesday had no final results.

The classic story of Sun Peng moved from the earth, and the hard work of two professional picture book writers Yu Ruonan and Chen Ruoyi for half a year, "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe" was quickly recognized by the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, Peng stated that he would propose a topic at the press conference on Friday, and then publish this set of picture books as soon as possible.

Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that the two parties agree on the royalties and the number of first prints.

Sun Peng didn't really care about the number of the first print. He didn't plan to make quick money from this book, so he was quite satisfied with the number of 10,000 sets. But he couldn't easily agree on the royalty ratio, so even if the publisher raised the royalty to the ten highest point for newcomers, he still shook his head and refused to agree.

After spending half an hour in the publishing house, Sun Peng returned without success.

Of course he knows that the top ten points of newcomers are nonsense. Anyhow, he is also a somewhat famous author. If he spends more time on the publishing house, he can definitely make concessions. It’s just that other publishing houses have comprehensive channels and are well-known in the field of children’s books, so it is a bit of a bit of a pinch. Not only does it often emphasize that Sun Peng’s reputation does not apply to picture books, but even wants to win the picture book adaptation rights. ——The Sunflower Publishing House also belongs to a large media group.

Of course, Sun Peng sneered at their thoughts.

In fact, if other terms are appropriate, Sun Peng is not unacceptable with a ten-point royalty. After all, the customer group of picture books is mothers who raise children, and the purchase of books pays more attention to fame and recommendation. The promotion is definitely more difficult than novels, and they are professional. The help of the publisher must be much smoother. But Sunflower does not want to talk about copyright, and even requires a minimum contract period of fifteen years, which is unacceptable.

So leave the rest to professional jokes.

After calling the second sister who went to work at the law firm, Sun Peng put the negotiation aside and started a career of looking around the house. Although many tasks are planned to be outsourced to Chen Sihai's studio, after all, the core work is still done by his own animation company, so a comfortable and spacious office space is essential. In this regard, Sun Peng does not want to save money.

Anyhow, it is also a cultural and creative industry.

Two days later, Hou Qingqing, who had resigned, simply stopped attending the last three days of the shift, and directly joined the group of house inspectors. The two looked at seven houses in three days, and finally, after comprehensively measuring the rent, transportation, decoration, surrounding facilities and other conditions, they saw an office building that is neither new nor old between the Animation Academy and Sun Peng’s house. ——Of course it's only half of it.

Six hundred square meters, sure enough in a short time!

In order to let the elder sister see that she was not a whim, Sun Peng cruelly rented this expensive office, and signed the contract on the same day...

"Sister, all that's left is to purchase office furniture and various equipment as soon as possible."

After getting the rental contract that the inkpad has not yet dried, Sun Peng smiled and said to Hou Qingqing: "I don’t know much about this, so I’ll trouble you... Don’t save money. We will buy the equipment according to the good order and work. The furniture is also as complete as possible, and all the drinking fountains and coffee machines are all in place, so that people feel comfortable when they come to see it, and they want to work here immediately!"

"Relax, as long as you are willing to spend money!"

Hou Qingqing was also a little excited at the moment, walking around excitedly about the half-story building he had just rented, secretly calculating how to arrange the two large, four small and six rooms, and how much furniture and equipment need to be purchased...

"Sister, don't look at the house for now."

After waiting patiently for Hou Qingqing to turn around a few times, she still didn’t seem to want to stop. Sun Peng finally couldn’t help it. “You just bought all the furniture and equipment tomorrow and sent them here. Or do you just put it there and watch it? The most important thing for this plan is to hire people quickly! No one, you are a polished commander, it's boring to go to the sky!"

"Huh? Right, right!"

After rubbing his hands, Hou Qingqing's eyes lighted up and said: "You can rest assured, brother, I have been a teacher in the Animation Academy for a few years, and I have been following Teacher Chen, knowing many high-level but unhappy brothers. Tomorrow I will start calling one by one...As long as the conditions we provide are good enough, even if the mix is ​​good, I will be 50% sure to dig it for you!"

Mixing in the animation industry is either seeking cash or seeking development.

There is definitely no shortage of Qian Sunpeng, and the master who is willing to spend tens of millions of animations will certainly not be reluctant to give outstanding talents a high salary. As for the development... We are going to spend tens of millions to make innovative martial arts animations. Regardless of whether you have seen it before, whether you like martial arts novels or not, you have to admit this courage?

"Um... I can't go back and introduce them to the boss' novel first!"

While speaking, Hou Qingqing's mind started to think that she chose the same routine as Zheng Shun when he persuaded the forensic doctor and the forensic officer.

Once you are hooked on martial arts novels, the rest will be easier.

Naturally, Sun Peng strongly supported Hou Qingqing’s ideas, and nodded again and again: "No problem, as long as people are willing to come with a high level, the salary will be higher. You can get a certain degree by yourself! I will also find a headhunter. Company, let them help..."

Even if he didn't understand management anymore, Sun Peng knew that it was not appropriate for everyone to let Hou Qingqing dig.

After talking about the company's short-term work structure and the talent allocation to be dug, Hou Qingqing suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked: "By the way, brother, you haven't said the name of our company yet, hurry up and order me. It's good to talk to others!"

"Hey, it's DreamWorks!"

Thinking of asking Sun Ya to help register the company that day, when the second sister asked the same question, she answered casually in a hurry, and Sun Peng smiled awkwardly.

...What a cliché name!

But seeing Hou Qingqing's expression of satisfaction with the company name, Sun Peng was immediately relieved.

What's wrong with the cliché?

Can I not use what others use?

Some arrogantly left the newly rented office. Sun Peng first called the second sister to ask about the progress of company registration, and then dialed Xia Weiqing's mobile phone number: "Brother Xia, how are your work arrangements there? If there is no problem, come to my house tomorrow, let's start as soon as possible..."

...

Just when Sun Peng went straight home to make some preparations for Lao Xia coming tomorrow, Hou Qingqing, who had left together, did not go back right away, but instead called the familiar Li Han brother.

More than an hour later, the two met in a restaurant.

Although I always felt like I had robbed my senior brother’s idea, I was a little bit embarrassed, but Hou Qingqing, who is relatively straightforward, did not twitch, and directly talked about the exchanges with Sun Peng these days and his own decision, and then was slightly embarrassed. Said: "Brother, this is a dream opportunity for me, so I agreed without discussing it with you... But after all, I did a lot of teaching and experimental animation before, and my experience in commercial animation is somewhat insufficient. If If you want, you can join in together and make the martial arts animation you have always wanted to do!"

"..."

He didn't immediately respond to Hou Qingqing's invitation, because Li Han's head was still confused at the moment.

He didn't expect this result!

In the previous debate about the adaptation or the original martial arts animation, Li Han did not consider Sun Peng's insistence, but ultimately he did not make up his mind. Because as a fairly successful commercial animation director, he knows very well that in the current environment, the adaptation of Eagle Shooting or Xiaoao into animation may be successful. After all, he has a considerable number of fan bases, and the operation is still very promising. But an original martial arts animation wants to attract the audience's attention?

Where is that easy!

Even if he likes Sun Peng's martial arts novels, Li Han is not willing to take the risk.

Martial arts animation is a type that has never existed before, and the risk is already great, but the kid insists on doing original things... Li Han thinks from the heart that the other party is making a fool of! So after the last controversy, Li Han's mind on martial arts animation gradually faded-he really didn't believe that Sun Peng finally dared to invest in it himself!

Tens of millions, big brother!

That kid makes a lot of money for writing novels, right? He dare to smash them all in? How big is your heart to dare to do such a thing?

Therefore, when Li Han initially said that he was going to pull investment or something, naturally there was no movement.

Compared with Hou Qingqing, who has no worries, Li Han, who is already well-known in the industry, is too afraid of failure and cannot afford to fail. He didn't believe that Sun Peng really dared to invest all by himself, so he always considered the consequences of failing in business if he invested himself.

Leaving aside what the losing investors would think, Li Han himself will also be labelled as a failure. In the future, when others want to ask him to be a director, he will probably have to weigh it...

But even so, it wouldn't be the result? !

That rascal……

I really want to spend my own money!

Moreover, it costs tens of millions in one hit. The investment in both the entire animation and the single episode is higher than all the animations directed by Li Han before!

How can this make him acceptable?

When I thought that Hou Qingqing, a guy who only knew how to teach and do experimental animation, was invited to take charge of such a large investment project, but his own proponent was thrown aside. After Li Han experienced the initial shock, he became a kind of lost. I feel like it is gradually coming to my heart...

Without thinking about his attitude towards this matter at all, Li Han had only one thought left in his mind at this time.

Why? !

I was the one who proposed to do martial arts animation, and I was also the one who persuaded Sun Peng as the author. Why are you a guy who has never been in commercial animation before?

And that Sun Peng, why would you dare to invest so much money to make an animation with an uncertain future?

Also, believe in a commercial rookie?

After the shock and disappointment rushed past, he clenched his fists under the table, and another feeling called anger came out vigorously, rushing straight into Li Han's forehead...
