The depressing writer of the anime series, Xue No cried and begged for a break

There was a flash of astonishment in his eyes.

After looking at the contract, I found that it really dropped from 4500 million to 1800 million.

How much trust does Aoki have in him!

More than 2700 million chips!

Teacher Ikaros has a keen eye for talent!!!

For a moment, Director Aoki was so moved that he almost wanted to cry, but he held it back.

A scholar dies for a confidant!

Because the production committee may not be very optimistic about the prospects of "Firefly Forest", so the copyright fees are difficult to negotiate!

But this kind of later profit sharing is easy to negotiate!

At worst, he can transfer part of the share that belongs to the animation team to Teacher Ikaros!

Director Aoki gritted his teeth:

"For the DVD sales, we give 35% to Mr. Ikaros, 30% to the digital platform, and 35% to the peripherals!!!"

"Don't worry, with this 2700 million, we will sell everything we have to get 'Firefly Forest' released in theaters!"

"If it can be released in theaters, we will also give 10% of the box office share to Mr. Ikaros!"

"......"

Looking at Director Aoki who suddenly became excited.

Hayasaka was also slightly stunned.

She originally thought that Gao Chuan's adjustment to the contract was somewhat inexplicable and even unreasonable.

But based on the terms of the contract, she did not raise any further questions.

She had also heard of Director Aoki's team. The first thing they said was that they were too young and had no representative works.

Second, they were even on the verge of being eliminated in the company, as Ampney actually assigned "The Secret World of Hotaru no Mori" to Aoki's team.

I feel that making a big profit from copyright fees and reducing sunk costs is a good thing.

But when I saw this scene, I found that Director Aoki seemed to really want to make this animation well.

Only then did she understand what was in her new master's mind.

——Money is not important, it is art that he has always been pursuing!

"...".

094. Icarus really has a good eye for talent, and he really found the right person!

Ampney Animation Co., Ltd., the office area of ​​the Aoki Animation team.

The environment here!

It looks like none of them are as good as the office area of ​​the Dengeki Bunko Kagurazaka editorial team.

Moreover, many of the staff are college graduates who have just graduated. It seems that Aoki's team does not have a high status in the company.

After signing the letter of intent, Hayasaka Ai even gave them an animation script of "Firefly Forest" for reference.

He took one look at the script and was immediately astounded!

He immediately took Haruko back to the company and shouted:

"Haruko, hurry up, call the others, we are finally alive!"

It didn’t take long!

Several key members of the team gathered around.

"We took down Teacher Ikaros's "Firefly Forest". How about that? Isn't it awesome?"

Director Aoki is actually not very old, just in his early thirties, and the core of his team is also very young, with an average age of about 20 years old.

He had performed well in a small animation company before, and was then directly acquired by Ampney.

But making animations in a big company and a small company are completely different, and the other people he works with in the big company have far more qualifications than him.

Many times, as a supervisor, he has no say at all.

Gradually over the years!

Without any achievements, only the backbone members of his team are left.

Only then did he seem to have regained his former fighting spirit!

Everyone looked at the extremely detailed script.

"Hey, Director Aoki, your script... must be expensive. Do we have enough money to make the animation? We won't have to mortgage our house again, will we?" The long-haired script director sighed.

He has been working with Aoki for several years.

Aoki is a person with strong artistic pursuits, and he can easily become obsessed with the pursuit of good scripts.

The bald man who was the original artist took a deep breath and said in surprise:

"Sure, just for this script. If it's not enough, I can also mortgage my house. This time, I will accept eating steamed buns with Qingmu for another three months. Didn't we go through this before?!"

The young woman with yellow dyed hair and a fashionable look smiled:

"Well, even though we are already short of funds, this is our last cooperation at Ampney. If Aoki Shin decides to do it, count me in!"

Qing Mu rolled his eyes and said, "What are you talking about? Our funding this time is not sufficient, but it is definitely enough!"

"You don't know, the initial negotiation price was 4500 million. I really planned to sell the house, but in the end, Mr. Ikaros only asked for 1800 million from us, increased the share in the later stage, and even gave us the script for free. I was so moved that I almost cried!"

"So, each of you must eat well and stay energetic. Let's work harder. Unlike before, this time we must send "Firefly Forest" to the theaters no matter what!"

Everyone was shocked: "Haven't we failed so many times? From 4500 million to 1800 million, he still gave us a script. Is he crazy?"

Qing Mu rolled his eyes: "Pfft, ptff, ptff, I don't allow you to talk about my godfather! This is called discerning people!"

"He definitely saw that we had no say before and had no choice! Now that no one is interfering with us, we have a chance to show our skills!"

"Teacher Ikaros said that he absolutely believes in my artistic level and professional ability!"

"You too, raise your artistic pursuits!"

"If we can become a hit with 'Firefly Forest' and have a masterpiece, we will leave Ampney and set up a small studio of our own, and never agree to be acquired again!"

"Or do you still want to continue to work as laborers in the company like before, continue to be bossed around, and go against your conscience to ruin the animation you love?!"

The other people looked at each other, obviously convinced by Director Aoki!

After they were acquired by Ampney, they all suffered losses in large companies.

Everyone was also somewhat moved:

"Okay, then Qingmu, you decide, and we'll eat steamed buns with you again. We'll do whatever you want!"

“I think there’s something to it!”

"Okay, I was thinking of quitting this month, but after hearing what Aoki said, I decided to do this job!"

Their entire animation team began to work in a frenzy.

……

The copyright of "The Secret World of Hotaru no Mori" has also been roughly finalized.

I felt relieved and left the subsequent maintenance to Hayasaka.

Now he only needs to use KuKu to collect money.

He called out the system panel!

【Works list:】

"Firefly Forest" light novel work (in progress): has been successfully published and animation is in progress.

0Request flowers 0 0

"Demon Slayer" light novel work (idle): copyright registered, but not yet published.

"Love Letter" movie script (idle): copyright has been registered, but not yet filmed.

"Snow Country" literary novel (idle): copyright registered, no work published yet.

"..."

Now he doesn't have to worry about "Plastic Memories" and "The Secret World of Hotaru no Mori".

"A Bowl of Clear Soup Soba Noodles" and the second volume of "Four Lies" are also in progress.

He felt that he could wait until he got the highest share from the Thunder God Writer, or strive to become the Thunder God Writer, before publishing "Demon Slayer".

This way you won’t lose too much royalties later on!

He plans to bid high for "Anohana" after "Plastic Memories" and "Firefly Forest" are broadcast and he has proven his scriptwriting ability to the industry!

"Snow Country" currently does not have a sufficient publishing environment!

So, his next target was "Love Letter".

He was very impressed by the work.

This work is adapted from the novel of the same name "Love Letter". It tells the story of a love letter that was originally sent to heaven out of grief, but unexpectedly received a reply from the person with the same name, and gradually unearthed a love story that had been buried for many years but remained silent.

Moreover, in less than a year after its release, it won numerous awards and nominations.

He immediately thought of Gotanda Yasushi!

I feel like it's time for Hayasaka to contact Director Gotanda.

Therefore, Takakawa did not stop because of his small success. He immediately arranged the task of contacting Yasushi Gotanda.

at the same time.

Kagurazaka also anxiously came to the Plum Garden Mansion in the countryside of Chiba with "A Bowl of Clear Soup Soba"!

The home of contemporary literary master Umezono Rintaro, and also the home of the young girl Umezono Hana (pen name Senjumura Masayuki).

"..."

(The picture shows a half-face photo of Senjumura Makoto in the comics.JPG zero).

095. Senjumura Masaru: Dad, your novel is not as good as Ikaros’s!

The Meiyuan Mansion is made of an old wooden structure, which gives it a very solemn and traditional feeling. If you must say it, at first glance it looks like the house where a great writer lived.

Generally, no outside guests are allowed unless they have made an appointment.

But the relationship between Kagurazaka and the Umezono family is quite special. Kagurazaka's father was once the savior of Umezono Rintaro.

Kagurazaka is also the editor-in-chief of Senjumura Masaru, so naturally there are not so many restrictions.

"Xiaohua, I'm sorry to bother you by visiting me without an appointment." Kagurazaka said apologetically as he knocked on the door of the Umezono family.

Unlike the soon-to-be hot early summer, the luxurious wooden mansion is cooler.

Senjumura Masaru was wearing a lilac-colored home kimono, with her slender white ankles exposed, as soft and charming as mutton-fat jade.

She raised her fair wrist, revealing a small arm as white as a lotus root, waved her hand with bandages wrapped around her fingers, smiled gently and said:

"Dad heard you were coming, and he's been waiting for you since long!"

"Oh, this is really rude. I made you wait for so long. Let's go over there quickly!" She changed into guest slippers at the entrance and followed Qian Shoucun Zheng, chatting with him as they walked towards the study.

"Xiaohua, how are your grades recently?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to pass the entrance exam to Sobu High School. However, my father still doesn't want me to read novels or even read the Internet."

The girl looked a little gloomy.
