Perfect Life

Saturday, April 22, afternoon.

At this time, "Once Upon a Time" has only been released for four or five days. It is when the major theaters across the country are swept away and there is no opponent at all, and it is also when this movie is hotly discussed on the Internet and in the newspapers.

At this time, in a high-end western restaurant in Songjiang Prefecture, Li Qianku sat in his seat and waited for a full hour.

The waiter hasn't come yet.

Sun Yuting walked back and said, "How about you have something to eat first? It's okay to be so hungry all the time!"

Li Qian shook his head.

Sun Yuting couldn't help frowning and complained, "These people are too disrespectful! It's another matter if you can't negotiate a business deal. If you agree to have a meal together, what can you say if you don't come!"

Li Qian shook his head and said, "It's alright, I'll wait a while. Brother Cao hasn't called, it means that there must be other circumstances, not that the other party deliberately put pigeons."

Sun Yuting looked at him, sighed, wanted to leave, stopped again, and asked, "Do you really like and want to buy this Jiangnan animation? Are you really so optimistic that we can make good animations in China?"

Li Qian nodded, "If you can't do it well, you have to learn to do it well! If we buy Jiangnan Animation, we can avoid some detours and open the way as soon as possible."

After a pause, he explained again: "The older you get, the more you know, the more difficult it is to communicate. On the contrary, when you are a child, when you don't understand anything, there are actually no so-called language barriers, cultural barriers, color discrimination, social Influence and so on, everyone is a child, a blank sheet of paper, what I show you, what will be stored in your mind! Chinese films want to go global, fight against Hollywood blockbusters, and even spread Chinese culture, ten years There is no hope of winning head-on, but ten years from now? It depends on how much homework we have done now.”

Having said this, he smiled, "So, we have to come up with good animation stories that can be enjoyed by all children in the world, let them leave a 'Chinese concept' in their hearts since childhood, and let them understand Chinese culture, Let’s not say accept it, at least give it a certain amount of favor, not conflict or disgust. If we do it one day earlier, we can influence a generation earlier, so it is urgent.”

Sun Yuting thought for a while after hearing the words, then shrugged, "I see, it seems that your so-called winning is definitely not a box office fight with Hollywood movies in China, right?"

Li Qian smiled, "Speaking of going to North America to compete with other people at the box office, it is too much to think of yourself, not to mention ten, twenty years later, our original Chinese movies may not be able to sell well in North America, but they must be in China. Fighting for the box office, even if you win, it’s just a arrogant frog in a well! So... Europe! Europe, Japan, South Korea, no one takes advantage, everyone is away, I hope that in ten years, our Chinese films will be the same as Hollywood movies are head-to-head, and at least they can win by 55 or 50, and they won't be beaten completely, and they won't be able to fight back."

Sun Yuting looked at him seriously, and after a while, she grumbled and walked away.

Li Qian couldn't help laughing bitterly when he heard the muttering.

Because, what she said was, "What a big ambition!"

…………

Another twenty minutes passed, and someone finally came.

Sun Yuting was standing at a booth outside, and saw Cao Zhan push the door open and come in, followed by a man and a woman, and immediately greeted Li Qian, and then got up to meet him.

Li Qian then also stood up and waited for the other party to come over with a smile on his face.

It was already past lunch hour, and there were only a few tables left in the western restaurant.

The two people who came, a man and a woman, looked a bit similar. Because he had done his homework in advance, Li Qian knew that they were not only a father and daughter, but in fact, they were the real talkers of Jiangnan Animation Company. and largest shareholder.

Ma Aikui, and his daughter, Ma Yuan.

Both father and daughter are typical southerners and look delicate.

As far as Li Qian knew, they should all come directly from the company. They thought it was too late and didn't have the heart to change any clothes, but even though they were just dressed casually, they were all kept clean.

At first glance, it is the kind of person who pays attention to fine details.

Ma Aikui is China's third-generation animator. Jiangnan Animation, founded by his father in the past, has gathered a large number of high-level talents in his hands when it developed into the 1990s. Pay attention, none other than Jiangnan animation.

Unfortunately, animation is too expensive.

The characteristic of this thing is that it is not an idealist, or a person who is willing to study hard. It can't be done well, but a pure idealist, who does a good job, may not make money.

Today, Jiangnan Animation is dying.

But the problem comes again. If it is a businessman's thinking, a company that only invests without seeing returns and always loses money, how can there be any ideal or unsatisfactory. It is to be able to stand upright, and resolutely not to sell!

Ma Aikui is the biggest problem facing Li Qian.

Everyone shakes hands and takes their seats.

This is the meeting that Li Qian finally waited for more than three days after he came to Songjiang Mansion.

After taking a seat, Sun Yuting greeted the waiter to come over, and everyone ordered food. Then, Sun Yuting went to the seat next to her and ordered food herself.

At this time, before Li Qian could speak, Ma Yuan, who was sitting on the opposite side, took out a box of CDs from her bag, and handed them over together with a pen, looking at the idol's nympho, "Sect Master, talk about things over dinner. Before that, can you sign my name first?"

Her Mandarin has a little Wu Nong's soft accent, but it sounds nice.

Li Qian smiled, took the CD and the pen, opened the box, and signed his name on the CD in a dance. Then he buttoned the box, put away the pen, and handed it over together. He asked with a smile, "Do you like this album?"

This is Li Qian's solo album "Jiangnan" in the first half of last year.

Ma Yuan nodded with a smile, "Actually, I also like rock and roll, but I asked Brother Cao to sign me for all rock and roll albums."

Li Qian smiled and was very happy, thinking that this might be a good start.

But soon, Ma Yuan put away the CD and pen, put it in her bag, and immediately put away her smile. She sat there with her head lowered, as if she could no longer see Li Qian.

Li Qian rolled his eyes and was about to speak when Ma Aikui took the initiative to say: "Mr. Li, thank you for investing money and coming here in person! I know you want to buy our company, but I still say that. , give me a few more months! After a few months, if we are done with this job, it still won't work, or we will go out of business, I will definitely sell it to you, okay?"

Li Qian smiled. He had rehearsed in his mind the conversation that might happen today.

Hearing the words at this time, he said, "Mr. Ma, have you watched "Once Upon a Time"?"

Hearing this, Ma Aikui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't have the time, and I don't have the heart to watch it! But since you said it, Mr. Li, I will definitely watch it when I look back. Mr. Li's movie must be very good!"

Li Qian smiled, not moved by his few compliments, but still followed his own steps and said slowly: "How to turn a story into an animation for presentation, you are an expert! But how to tell a good one? The story, and how to make sure it's liked by everyone, I'm a connoisseur!"

Hearing that, Ma Aikui frowned slightly, smiled reluctantly, and said, "That's right, that's it! "My Sassy Girl" sold for over 100 million, right? ", our whole family also likes it very much, Mr. Li is indeed a master of storytelling! He is a master in filming and filming TV series!"

Li Qian responded: "But now, I want to sell my story to Europe and the United States, but Americans don't like my story! "My Sassy Girl" has a domestic box office of 150 million and a Southeast Asian box office. Nearly 70 million, Japan 72 million, South Korea 31 million, together, more than 320 million, equivalent to 160 million US dollars, but the North American distribution is a buyout, only It sold for three million dollars, and as far as I know, it was released on Valentine’s Day this year, and it went offline after less than 20 days, and the total box office did not exceed ten million dollars.”

Ma Aikui didn't seem to understand what Li Qian wanted to say, and frowned.

Li Qian said: "There is a big gap between the cultures between China and the West. It is not easy to make Chinese culture well, send it out, and make foreigners pay for Chinese culture!"

Ma Aikui's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of what Li Qian was going to say.

At this time, Li Qian turned to look at Cao Zhan who was sitting beside him, and said, "Brother Cao is not short of money, and I am not short of money. To tell the truth, President Ma, there are more than one billion people in China, if I want to relax , there's no need to mess around with anything, I can make a lot of money with one movie and one album a year. Brother Cao doesn't even need to make money, he has money in his family. But, as you can see, Cao For this matter, brother, he ran from time to time, and even condescended to our Minghu Culture to fight for me, why?"

Hearing this, Ma Aikui probably fully understood what Li Qian meant, but he did not interrupt, but listened carefully with a serious expression on his face.

Li Qian said without hesitation, "We all do this! Mr. Ma, I want to ask you, watching foreign cartoons rushing to China, every TV station has and will show foreign cartoons. Do you feel uncomfortable watching other foreign cartoons, making them into movies, and making a lot of money at the box office when you come to China?"

Ma Aikui still didn't speak.

But Li Qian ignored him and continued: "Brother Cao and I, we are both people who are not short of money. In order to make money, we will not work hard, at least we will not make ourselves so tired, we can lie down easily. So I made money. But for our ideals, in order to send Chinese culture, Chinese films and Chinese animated films abroad, I, Brother Cao, we can forget about eating and sleeping.”

Hearing this, Ma Aikui took a deep breath and seemed to speak.

But at this time, the waiter came to serve the meal.

The atmosphere was suddenly interrupted.

Li Qian was a little depressed.

But after thinking about it, he still had a relaxed look on his face. When the side dishes and the main meal came one after another, he smiled and signaled, "Everyone is hungry, please, let's start! No matter how big the ideal is, we have to eat first! "

So, eat.

When the meal was almost over, everyone wiped their mouths, Li Qian took a cup of lemonade and took two sips of lemonade before slowly starting the conversation, "I said so much just now, but Mr. Ma didn't bother, in fact, what I meant was One, I want to make Chinese animation into a movie, a good-looking movie, and sell it all over the world, so that children in Europe, the United States, and Japan can also grow up watching our Chinese cartoons and animation movies from a young age. Cultural export starts with children! To do this, I need the help of a group of top Chinese experts, such as Mr. Ma, and this Jiangnan animation company in your hands.”

Hearing this, Ma Aikui sighed, looking like he was about to stop talking.

At this time, Cao Zhan opened his mouth, "Brother, you have seen and heard Qian'er's thoughts, and that's what it means! Whether it's an acquisition or cooperation, our goals are the same. It's to do a good job of animation! To shock the world! It's just that your brother is a technical maniac, but he is not good at controlling the general direction, and he has never had a good story! In short, you are suitable for making things, but doing things What kind of thing, how to make it, how to sell it after it is made, you can't do it!"

Speaking of which, he looked at Li Qian and said, "But Qian'er is good at everything you are not good at! Now, Qian'er, me, you, let's do it together! It's just complementary!"

Ma Aikui took another deep breath with a tangled look on his face.

After a pause, he raised his head, looked at Li Qian seriously, and said, "Mr. Li, do you think this is okay? I understand what you mean, what Teacher Cao means, you give me two days, I will Go back and ask everyone's opinions, and then give you the answer, okay?"

At this moment, without waiting for Li Qian to speak, Ma Yuan, who had been shrunk to the side and focused on eating and drinking, suddenly raised her head and said, "Dad, don't be so troublesome!"

While speaking, she turned her head to look at Li Qian, the fan girl just now had disappeared, and at this moment, her face was very serious, and she said, "First, give a suitable price, second, what we are doing, It’s my dad and my grandpa Hong who value it very much. Even if the acquisition is completed, it must be stated in the contract that you have to pay for this item and let us finish it. Third, we don’t go to Shuntianfu, we To stay in Songjiang, fourth, even if we are acquired, we must exist as an independent company, except for the financial aspect, you can send someone to take care of it, and other things, we require autonomy!"

Having said that, she concluded: "This is our condition."

Li Qian looked at Ma Aikui and looked at her again.

Ma Yuan turned her head to the somewhat surprised Ma Aikui and said, "Grandpa Hong said that the voting rights of his shares will be decided by me on his behalf!"

Ma Aikui showed a sudden realization.

Since it is about to be acquired, Li Qian certainly has worked hard to understand the equity structure of Jiangnan Animation. The shares of the Ma family plus the shares of Mr. Hong are already close to 60%! This is the share with the right to decide!

So Li Qian knows that success or failure is at this moment.

But what he didn't expect was that the last person the Ma family spoke out was actually the girl Ma Yuan!

But at this time, unable to think about anything else, Li Qian looked at her, also very serious, and asked, "What kind of autonomy do you want?"

Ma Yuan replied in response: "Retain our internal structure and personnel relations, and do not lay off staff! And future personnel and management must be handed over to the company's management."

Li Qian smiled when he heard the words, "Layoffs?"

After a pause, under the worried and full of doubts in the eyes of the father and daughter on the opposite side, Li Qian smiled and said, "Instead of laying off staff, we will recruit people on a large scale! Baishan Animation, the parent of the Northeast, has been fully acquired by us. , is currently being relocated and rectified to Shuntian Mansion. As long as our acquisition is completed, the entire Changbai Mountain animation will also be fully integrated! So, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you can only stick to the previous site, how can you do it?"

Ma Yuan was speechless and turned to look at Ma Aikui.

Ma Aikui thought for a while and asked, "You also bought Changbai Mountain Animation?"

Li Qian nodded, "I know that Jiangnan Animation has a group of very high-level animators~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but you have not been able to make ends meet for so many years, the foundation is still too thin, the two animations should be merged, it is not enough to merge, and there is more More recruits! So... if you agree to be acquired and are willing to work with me to do things that you didn't dare to think about before, or that you couldn't do even if you thought about it, then let go of the things you used to do. okay?"

Speaking of this, he added: "The assets of Songjiang Prefecture can be kept intact, and the personnel can also keep some basic constructions. Anyway, in the Internet age, it is very convenient to communicate without delaying the movement of both sides. But you President Ma, and at least two-thirds of the company's backbone, have to go to Shuntianfu with me to support the whole Minghu animation for me!"

Ma Aikui narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, "Minghu Animation?"

Li Qian smiled, nodded, pointed to Cao Zhan next to him, and said, "Yes, Minghu Animation! This company will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Minghu Culture. Brother Cao will be the general manager of Minghu Animation, and you, President Ma, Come and be the art director and be in charge of the entire art department.”

Ma Aikui seemed to have reacted suddenly, and couldn't help but say, "So, are you actually the one who wants to buy us?"

Li Qian laughed when he heard the words, "That's true! Talents, especially talents like Mr. Ma, are the most valuable in my heart!"

Having said that, Li Qian thought for a while, and then said: "So, after the acquisition is completed, the label of Jiangnan Animation can still be retained, but you have to go to Minghu Animation. Animation is responsible for TV animation and talent training.”

Across the table, the father and daughter of the Ma family looked at each other, and then Ma Aikui said, "Mr. Li, we'll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"

Li Qian smiled, stood up, and stretched out his hand, "Of course!"
