Chapter 247: Come to the door

Putting down the phone, Yin Jun's mouth showed a smile.

Wei Xiaofan spoke on the phone for more than an hour, and said very carefully what he had done these days and what Yan Dianxian meant.

The reply he said tomorrow is actually to allow Yin Jun a little more time to consider the gains and losses.

But in Yin Jun's view, such cooperation is absolutely undesirable.

No matter how huge and excellent Huhu Fine Art Film Studio is, no one knows better than Yin Jun.

In fact, this group of elite masters now has a lot more creativity and ingenuity than their juniors.

What really restrains them is the current environment of China, the long-term stubbornness, and the institutional constraints.

If they are exposed to more and more advanced and advanced anime culture, and open their minds, then there will be undoubtedly a dazzling glory.

Of course, this thing is for them to do by themselves. Yin Jun has no way to change it, nor does he have so much energy to deal with the brains.

All he can do is concentrate a group of outstanding masters under his own, let them help him complete the cultural dissemination of cartoons and animations, and seize this big gold mine in the future.

Then at the same time, he can provide Huhai Fine Art Film Studio with a lot of resources, so that they can also share their growing success.

It is better now, Yan Dianxian directly proposed cooperation.

It is a cooperation between the entire Shanghai Haihai Art Film Studio and Qilin Culture Co., Ltd.

With this cooperation, Yin Jun not only can get more talents, but also has a huge reserve talent reserve base. The support for the comic industry is endless and sustainable.

What Yin Jun paid was nothing more than money.

In the eyes of young people, money is actually the cheapest kind of purchasing power, not to mention the fact that the salary conditions in the mainland are very low. According to the standard given by Wei Xiaofan, it should not be too cheap.

Yes.

The salary conditions promised and promised by Wei Xiaofan are sky-high relative to the current salary of mainlanders, even higher than the white-collar workers in Xiangjiang.

But do you think about the value they can create?

Think about the cartoons they have drawn and produced, can they be summarized by tens of millions or hundreds of millions? Billions and tens of billions can't stop it!

Drawing comics is just the first step, and the second step is to make animations, which can't be done by a few people or dozens of people.

A series of standard 20-minute animations, excluding the opening and ending, requires about 30,000 frames.

According to the calculation of about 2 frames per animation, that is 16,000 pictures.

If it is in the era of computer production, there are computers to help in the process of making animations, as well as scenes, rendering, etc., maybe it can be easier, but now there is no computer equipment and no software to produce, everyone is Used hand drawn animation.

Therefore, if 50 painters come to work on these more than 16,000 pictures, it will take at least half a year to complete.

This does not include talents in shooting, shooting, dubbing, editing, effects, etc. The entire animation production process is absolutely extremely complicated and more troublesome than a movie.

If Yin Jun can gradually transform the Shanghai Haihai Art Film Studio into his own partner, or even an affiliated affiliated company, who specializes in producing these for himself, then Yin Jun will save much of his heart.

Originally, Yin Jun also planned to let Huhai Fine Art Film Studio see the great development of the employees who went out, and then cooperated with him on a large scale under his own coercion and temptation.

Unexpectedly, there were also smart people like Yan Dingxian who knew the great benefits of cooperation and thus required all-round cooperation from the beginning.

This is certainly a good thing for Yin Jun, but it is also a good thing for Huhai Fine Art Film Studio.

Not only can they practice their skills and abilities in actual combat, they can also obtain a steady stream of funds to help their own development.

From the time Master Wan made the "Troublemaker", they knew that this cartoon was all piled up with money.

Only with money can we talk about development!

The next morning, Yin Jun called Wei Xiaofan and asked him to represent him personally, and to cooperate with Shanghai Haihai Fine Art Film Producer.

The specific contract details will be faxed to Xiangjiang after negotiation between the two parties. After Yin Jun ’s consent, it will become effective immediately.

Including the previous nine employees, you can also temporarily wait in Shanghai and come with the follow-up talents.

Since Huhai Fine Art Film Studio fully supported, Yin Jun's initial plan was to find 30 art elites, 10 younger elites in the animation department, preferably around 26-28 years old, for a total of 40 Personally, of course, it doesn't matter if you can have more.

With Yin Jun's current strength, he can totally eat so many talents.

Even the elite of the 10 animation departments will not work in Xiangjiang at all, but will first study and work in Japan and the United States for a while, and then become familiar with more advanced animation production methods before returning to Xiangjiang Animation, Yin Jun can still pay for their various expenses.

I mainly went to Japan to study animation production, but I mainly went to the United States to learn computer knowledge, which can be used in the future.

As for whether these people want to come back or not?

Ha ha, Yin Jun will of course sign an agreement with them. Except for Yin Jun and Yin Jun's delegation, they cannot work for others for 20 years.

Such a contract may not be of much use in the Mainland, but it has a very strong legal effect in Japan, Europe and the United States. The Japanese dare not use them, otherwise they will wait for Yin Jun to bankrupt them.

Moreover, the Chinese are notoriously nostalgic and prefer to live on their own land.

Yin Jun gave them good working conditions and a good salary. Why didn't they want to come back?

Yin Jun knew what the state-owned factories in China looked like in this era. After initially reaching a cooperation agreement, Yin Jun directly asked Wei Xiaofan to give US $ 200,000 to Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio as the first year's signing contract Prepaid.

Many tools and equipment of Huhai Fine Art Film Studio are imported from abroad. Before, they were poor and had no money, so they could only buy some second-hand goods.

Now that there is such a huge sum of money, they jumped with excitement. They even jumped out of the four grandfather and the grandfather, saying that I want to buy this, I want to buy that, hurry and bring it back to me, so that We start work!

However, due to too much fanfare, the people of Huhai Fine Art Film Studio were not happy for a few days, the money was taken away by the superior, and then 200,000 yuan was allocated to Huhai Fine Art Film Studio, the United States The name also said that your cooperation is very good, and you can work closely with the compatriots of Xiangjiang. We are very supportive, but you do n’t need the US dollar, let ’s use RMB first.

This annoyed a group of old men and called the city every day to make trouble, but there was no way to change the above decisions.

After all, the Mainland is really too short of US dollars now. Seeing that there is such a channel, how can it not be seized?

This is more than that. I heard that I can get a one-million-dollar signing fee every year, and the higher-level department directly requested to change it to 500,000 US dollars, and then everyone splits half, otherwise this will not happen.

If it were n’t for Wei Xiaofan ’s resolute opposition, they all wanted to say that you would also pay the US dollar for the salary, and then you do n’t have to worry about the rest-this is to exchange the RMB for the US dollar again.

Those employees may not object, because their interests are still the same, and they will have to be paid in RMB.

But this is different for Kirin Culture Co., Ltd.

The one-million-dollar signing fee can be obtained with only 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

But you have to use mainland standards to calculate. They shamelessly say that 500,000 US dollars is 900,000 yuan-in Xiangjiang, 500,000 US dollars is 2.7 million Hong Kong dollars, which would result in a 35% loss!

Fortunately, they also know that this proposal is not reliable, so in terms of signing the contract, in the end there is no such requirement, but to switch to Kirin Culture Co., Ltd. to pay 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

In this way, they can also take advantage of foreign currency, and Yin Jun does not have to pay too much.

Huhai Fine Art Film Studio also has some thoughts about salary payment. They are determined to let Yin Jun pay most of the salary directly in Hong Kong dollars. Then, those who go to Xiangjiang only need to get around 10% of the pocket money. Anyway, Yin Jun is It ’s for the staff to eat and live, and these people have no place to spend money. It ’s better to get it here for family members and let Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio pass through. The purchasing power between Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi The difference is also where you can earn a little.

Of course, such an idea would not have been conceived by Yan Dingxian. From his conversation with Wei Xiaofan, we can know that this person is very atmospheric and will not care about this little detail.

But Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio is not his place alone, so it is not surprising that there are various interests and voices coming out.

...

Not to mention Wei Xiaofan's wit and bravery with the old foxes in Shanghai, Yin Jun is in Xiangjiang, and he has something to do.

The first thing he has to do is to purchase a license.

What authorization?

Of course, it is the authorization of the first gold-absorbing weapon-"Transformers".

Wait a minute!

"Transformers" was not launched by TAKARA of Japan in 1983. It was only in 1984 that they cooperated with Hasbro to launch anime. In 85 years, Marvel gave Transformers life, making them intelligent robots. ?

It's only 1979, TAKARA doesn't even have ideas?

In fact, if we talk about Transformers alone, this is true.

The Japanese company Takara sold the idea of ​​"Transformers" to Hasbro in 1984, allowing them to make and sell in North America.

Then Hasbro felt that the setting of "Transformers" was too rough and not new, so he commissioned Marvel to conceive and create the story of Transformers, and then made it into an animation, which immediately became popular in Europe and America. Then naturally, they sold "Transformers" toys out of stock, earning a lot of money.

This is what happened after four or five years, and it really has nothing to do with the present.

However, if the deepest copyright issue is involved, there are actually two small loopholes.

The first one is MSI Little Superman, which is also a work of TAKARA. They launched this series of character dolls in 1974. Among them are cars and robots, which can be transformed and assembled. The prototype of King Kong is also based on this, and they later produced a more systematic "Transformers".

Last year, MSI Little Superman was also adapted and published as a comic in the United States. The famous Marvel company painted it.

Moreover, the setting of "MSI" is completely impossible to circumvent "Transformers".

Its main content is that the two factions of a planet, Superman, had a hundred years of war, which caused the planet to be destroyed, and then came to the earth to fight again.

Although you can say that we are robots, you are Superman ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is completely different, but you consider the logic, and "MSI Superman" already has a deformable assembled robot model, this Kaner , Obviously, it's not so easy to pass.

Since you can't step forward, then ask for authorization.

Now TAKARA has n’t thought of any Transformers ’ideas, and buying them“ the right to make derivative works and products ”should n’t be too expensive – who would have thought that this would involve a huge industry with hundreds of billions of dollars chain?

In addition to this, there is one more thing that can't be bypassed.

That's Hasbro's patented "body" technology. This is the doll's movable joint technology. Without it, Transformers dolls can't be deformed.

Transformers that can't be deformed, what kind of transformers are they?

Whether it is a TV movie or the most basic doll, there is no place to play, nor can it trigger the crazy pursuit of children around the world.

At this point, Americans and Japanese are the same. As long as they do not involve their own core interests, these patented technologies will be considered for transfer. It is just a matter of price.

If you want to do a project, you must plan with the most demanding attitude. Only when you are fully prepared, will you not encounter so many problems when you get results in the future.

As long as Yin Jun can get the authorization of these two patents and rights, then Transformers will be completely free of obstacles. This huge monster worth hundreds of billions of dollars will inevitably belong to Yin Jun alone!

Think about it. In the future, people in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, watching the "Transformers" animation and movies produced by Hua Guo, playing with the transformers toys produced by Hua Guo, have continuously obtained monetary benefits and good impressions. How exciting is this? (To be continued.)
