Chapter 1023 Free is supposed to be

"Why?" Fang was still anxious and didn't say anything this time, instead Tong Luo on the side couldn't help but asked Xiao Yao, "Nowadays, the entertainment industry has a little ability to open his own studio. If the ability is stronger, the personal studio will sign artists. Although you are still young, you are definitely already qualified to sign new people and lead new people to promote new people. You see Ren Bing is so popular now, you all say Li Ya Huiyan Zhizhu, and said that Li Ya is a good boss. I think if you also sign new people and bring new people, at least this aspect will not be worse than Li Ya!"

   "Really?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Tong Luo cried his hands and said, "In terms of music, you can write songs and produce, and in terms of film and television, you can choreograph and direct. And whether it is music, film and television, or even the fashion industry, your connections have already been established. It’s awesome. After the box office share of the animated movie is accounted for, you won’t even be short of funds. As long as you want to, you can even develop projects independently without having to compete with others. Your personal studio has signed an artist training Isn't it good? If you become popular with them, you will not only make money from them, expand your influence and reputation in the circle, but also have a special sense of accomplishment, right?"

"Tong teacher, I know what you said," Xiao Yao said, "tell you the truth, before the release of "Wali", my classmates mentioned this to me and told me to set up an entertainment company. They selected some potential candidates from their classmates to sign. They also cited Li Ya and Ren Bing as examples, and they also said that after the martial arts masters reached the top, they tried to pass on their apprenticeships."

   "Oh?" Tong Luo smiled, "They want to mess with you? This is a good thing!"

   "They didn't say that they wanted me to sign them, they just said that they let me pick potential among classmates." Xiao Yao smiled, "but I refused at the time and told them that they would not establish a company."

   "Still that sentence, why?" Tong Luo was strange again.

"Why make money? The commission from the artist is not as high as the income of my investment in the project." Xiao Yao continued, "Although no one thinks that there is more money, it is better to take two shares than one, but I am more Afraid of trouble."

  "Afraid of trouble, what trouble?" Tong Luo asked strangely.

"Trouble in resource allocation." Xiao Yao said, "I'm from Shenxi, and there are always good friends. If I sign now, my classmates want to sign or not? I want to sign, it's impossible. Just sign the classmates who have a good relationship with me? I don’t lack resources, but my resources are not unlimited. How will the resources of the artists under the studio be allocated in the future? Who is the work and not, who is the role, and who is not, These are things that need to be balanced. Li Ya praised Ren Bing, but there is more than one Ren Bing under her, and fans of other artists have often complained about Li Ya's unfairness on the Internet."

   "You are the boss, you have the final say, you don't even care about people who hack you online, do you still care about this?" Tong Luo asked.

“It’s true that fans don’t care too much if they spray a few words on the Internet, but it will inevitably affect the artist themselves.” Xiao Yao said, “If the artist really feels unfair like the fans, and complain to the company, or simply terminate the contract and quit, It’s a shame that even friends don’t even have to do it in the end. Of course, if you coordinate well, this situation will not necessarily happen, but it will definitely take energy to balance it out. I’m more I want to focus on my work. Besides, I have a lot of hobbies. I have energy and time and want to do other things. I don’t want to spend it on this."

   "Well, you don't want to deal with the company's internal balance problems in the future, so you just leave the company alone!" Tong Luo nodded and stopped persuading.

   "I see." Fang still nodded, "Your studio only serves you alone, we don't sign any artists!"

   "Okay," Xiao Yao saw that the two of them had no objections. He straightened up, patted his hands, and asked, "Anything else?"

   "Yes!" Tong Luo and Fang still said in unison.

   "Heh!" Xiao Yao gave a wry smile.

   "President Tong, please speak first!" Tong Luo and Fang still looked at each other, and Fang still waved their hands to Tong Luo.

"Okay, then let me talk about it first." Tong Luo still nodded and said to Xiao Yao, "After the box office share of "Wali" has been received, I am going to make some adjustments and changes to my company. I plan to recruit again. Some animation professionals, and then focus on the animation film. Our cooperation "Wali" is so successful, I want to invite you, no, now it should be said that your personal studio has invested in my company, and we continue to cooperate !"

   "Tong Zong has already told me about this, I think it is feasible, but in the end you still have to make your own decisions." Fang still cheered on the sidelines.

"Because of the success of the movie "Wali", you decided to switch your main business to animation film?" Xiao Yao reminded Tong Luo, "Animation is actually very difficult to do. Our " "Wali" has certain accidental elements, and future animated films may not have this kind of results."

"I know the difficulties of the animation industry better than you." Tong Luo said, "From the beginning, my mind was to focus on animation, otherwise I would not open this animation special effects company with the qualifications to produce animation works. Company. It’s just that animation is very money-consuming, and I don’t have any good projects in my hands, so I use the work of receiving game CG special effects and film and television special effects to maintain the company’s survival. Now that I have made money, I want to do more animation Projects, mostly for the domestic animation industry."

"You are relying on games and film and television special effects to maintain the company, and retain the dream of making animation." Xiao Yao groaned and raised his head to Tong Luo, "Teacher Tong, my future focus on film and television will be on live-action film and television works. I will make an animated film like "Wali" again."

   "Really?" Tong Luo said disappointedly, "That would be a shame."

"However, I agree to continue cooperating with you!" Xiao Yao continued with a smile, "I agree to buy a share of your company, and I don't require a large share. When the box office share of "Wali" is received, you are done. For the adjustment of the company, we have the next development plan, and we will discuss it again. If I have a suitable animated film script in the future, I will definitely show it to you. But I need to emphasize that planning and directing these As for the position, I will definitely not and have no energy to try again. As for the dubbing and scoring, I can see if the schedule can be worthy of it."

  When the project was established, Xiao Yao requested that the copyright of the two animated characters "Wali" and "Eve" in the contract with Tong Luo belong to Xiao Yao. Although Tong Luo considered that these two characters were both created by Xiao Yao and agreed to Xiao Yao’s request, in theory, the copyright of the animated characters in the movie "Wali" should belong to investment and The production party is jointly owned by Tong Luo's company and Xiao Yao.

  Although this animated film still brought Tong Luo to make money, Xiao Yao still feels a bit sorry for Tong Luo in this regard. Because in addition to the box office, peripheral products are also a big source of income, and this income is only in the hands of people who own the copyright of the animation image, Tong Luo will lose a lot of income in the later period.

  Only when an animated character is famous can the copyright in his hand be valuable. Here, the copyright value of Walli and Eve obviously comes from the movie. But the film’s investor and producer are two people. Without Tong Luo, Xiao Yao couldn’t make this movie on his own, so Xiao Yao felt guilty towards Tong Luo.

  In the future, he will make an animated film like "Wali", Xiao Yao must not do it, but the classic animation film he remembers in his mind is not only "Wali". Xiao Yao didn’t mind taking them out, and helped this teacher, who is extremely enthusiastic about the domestic animation industry, continue to develop in this area by providing funds, scripts, and character images. The teacher feels guilty.

"Okay," Tong Luo said happily when he heard Xiao Yao's words, "In the animation industry, directors are easy to find, but what is lacking is capital, technology and good stories! With capital, I can find good technicians with high salary. , You can also buy better technology, you provide funds and scripts, it is my greatest support!"

   "Speaking of animation technology and technical personnel," Xiao Yao asked Tongluo, "The United States must be better than the domestic one? Do you have any ideas in this regard when you come to the United States this time?"

"You can see this?" Tong Luo smiled and nodded, "This time I came to the United States, of course, I also came here with the idea of ​​digging a wall. In fact, our film is so bright in the domestic box office, and many Americans Film companies or distribution companies also have branches or offices in China. Some people contacted us on the initiative. It is not impossible to talk to them about American distribution in China. In addition to looking for you, come to the United States to try and see if you can find it. Some animation talents and the introduction of some more advanced technologies are another important reason why I came to the United States this time."

"In this regard, I also ask Lao Mu to inquire about it." Xiao Yao said, "But Lao Mu is a live-action movie. I don't know if I have been in contact with an American animation studio. I don't know if it will help. If you are here If there is anything I can help, I will try my best!"

"Your personal studio may be a share of our company, it may be a help." Tong Luo smiled, "I heard Mr. Yin said that the designer of your brand design office who specializes in designing and producing lighting systems is because of you. I went to work there. With the quality of our "Wali" and your studio's shareholding, I think my company should be more attractive to the technicians here. Of course. , If you need to come forward, I won’t be polite.”

   "Well, as long as I am not in the eight hours of filming, it will not delay me filming." Xiao Yao smiled and nodded in agreement.

   "There is nothing wrong with me." Tong Luo turned his head and the other party still made a please gesture, "Miss Fang~"

   "I don't have anything important here. I just wanted to say that Tong always wanted to invite you to buy shares." Fang still said to Xiao Yao.

   "There is nothing important, what about unimportant?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

  "That is to say, some trivial things about work, there is nothing you have to wait for your decision," Fang still asked, "Do you want to listen?"

   "It's still early anyway, so I think it's listening to gossip." Xiao Yao leaned on the sofa and said, "Let's talk about it!"

"One is related to authorized products." Fang still said, "I have already mentioned this. Some manufacturers have already contacted us, mainly toy companies, followed by clocks, towels, mobile phone cases and other daily necessities. Some manufacturers in this category want formal authorization. I am currently investigating and have not yet answered. In addition, there are unauthorized products on the market. I have invited some people and are doing preliminary investigations. This is not the case. Urgent, I wanted to tell you after a while!"

"It seems that we need to expand the professional staff in various fields." Xiao Yao said, "Anyway, we are going to build a personal studio. Don't worry about these things. You should first find people in business and law. Then discuss with these professionals, they should be more experienced in this area!"

   "Okay!" Fang still nodded, and then asked, "Do you have any requirements when dealing with these things?"

   "Really!" Xiao Yao nodded.

   "You said!" Fang still said.

"Economic income is not what we value most!" Xiao Yao said, "When choosing an authorized company, don't look at who pays the licensing fee or share the high income. The most important thing is the reputation and product quality of the company. Especially toys. , Things for kids can't be sloppy.

"Also," Xiao Yao added, "For those companies that produce products without authorization, our attitude must be displayed. Attorney letters should be sent as soon as they should, but don't be too harsh. We are small manufacturers of China. It is not easy for enterprises and manufacturers to survive, and most of them are not specialized in copycats, but just can’t help but gain a game when they see the opportunity. We also don’t lack that little profit and compensation. As long as the attitude is good and willing to negotiate, we can let it go. Just let the horse go as far as possible. That's the national conditions, don't be too harsh!"

   "Got it!" Fang still nodded.

   "Xiao Yao, do you even know the manufacturing situation?" Tong Luo smiled.

   "Haha!" Xiao Yao smiled, and said in his heart, "Brother was in the trade industry in his previous life!"

   "This is the main thing at present, and the rest is some job invitations in the performing arts." Fang still said, "I know you have to concentrate on filming, and the job invitations in the next month have been turned down for you."

   "Hmm!" Xiao Yao nodded, "What about other things?"

"Mr. Tong has already said about the movie box office, so I won't repeat it." Fang still said, "The two songs "Childhood" and "Broken Up Embrace" are released as you said. These two songs are released. After that, it became very popular on the Internet, and even these two songs on the Internet brought a wave of nostalgia for childhood and student years."

"Yes, these two songs are really hot." Tong Luo laughed aside, "Wali can get more than 2 billion box office, and it has something to do with your two songs. Your two songs are hot. After that, you became popular again, and then our "Wali" went up against the trend again at the box office. Your propaganda method is really okay!"

   "Haha," Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, "In fact, it was an unintentional move!"

"One week before I came, Mr. Wu Xiubin’s team and people from Yanjing TV contacted me. Mr. Wu is now participating in “The King of Crossover Songs” on Yanjing TV. He likes your song “Childhood” very much. Sing this song on the show and ask us to buy the copyright for the cover." Fang continued with a smile, "Anyway, it's a TV show, and it's not an official cover single, so I gave them the singing copyright for free."

   "It's okay," Xiao Yao smiled, "Mr. Wu, an old drama player with a very good acting skills and reputation, is my honor to be willing to sing my songs on the show, and it should be free!"
