Putting down the phone, a smile appeared on the corner of Yin Jun's mouth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wei Xiaofan talked on the phone for more than an hour, and explained what he had done in the past few days, as well as Yan Dingxian's meaning, very carefully.

He said that he would reply tomorrow, in fact, so that Yin Jun could have a little more time to consider the gains and losses.

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

How huge and excellent the existence of Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio is, no one knows better than Yin Jun.

In fact, the current group of elite masters, compared with their juniors, creativity and ingenuity are much more prominent.

What really restricts them is the current environment in China, as well as the long-term self-containment, as well as the constraints of the system.

If they are exposed to more and more advanced and excellent animation culture, and open the shackles of their minds, then there is no doubt that they will bloom with incomparably dazzling brilliance.

Of course, this thing has to be done by themselves, Yin Jun has no way to change it, and he doesn't have so much energy to deal with that group of heads.

What he can do is to gather a group of excellent masters under his command, let them help him complete the cultural dissemination of comics and animation, and seize this big gold mine in the future.

Then, at the same time, he can provide a lot of resources to Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio, so that they can also share in the success of continuous development.

It's better now, Yan Dingxian directly proposed cooperation.

It is a cooperation between the entire Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio and Kirin Culture Co., Ltd.

With this cooperation, Yin Jun can not only get more talents, but also have a huge reserve of talents, and the support for the comic industry is continuous and sustainable.

What Yin Jun paid was nothing more than money.

In the young man's opinion, money is actually the cheapest kind of purchasing power, not to mention that the salary conditions in the mainland are very low now, according to the standard that Wei Xiaofan came up with, it is simply not too cheap.

Be.

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

But what about the value they can create?

Think about the cartoons they draw and make, can they be summed up in tens of millions, hundreds of millions? Billions, tens of billions of dollars can't be stopped!

Drawing comics is only the first step, and the second step is to make animations, which is not something that a few people or dozens of people can do.

An episode of about 20 minutes of animation, excluding the opening and ending credits, takes about 30,000 frames.

Based on about 2 frames per animation, that's 16,000 pictures.

If it was in the era of computer production, it might be easier to have computers to help make the process in the middle of animation, as well as scenes, rendering, etc., but now there is no computer equipment, and there is no software to make it, and everyone uses hand-drawn animation.

Therefore, for these more than 16,000 drawings and 50 painters to work, it will take at least half a year to complete.

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

If Yin Jun can gradually turn Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio into his own partner, or even an affiliated company, and produce these specifically for himself, it will save Yin Jun too much heart.

Originally, Yin Jun also planned to let Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio see that the employees who went out had a great development, and only then did he cooperate with him on a large scale under his own coercion and temptation.

Unexpectedly, among them, there are also smart people like Yan Dingxian, who know the great benefits of cooperation, so they ask for 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 Arts Film Studio.

Not only will they be able to practice their skills and abilities in real combat, but they will also have access to a steady stream of funds to help them develop themselves.

From the time Old Man Wan made "Havoc in Heaven", they knew that this cartoon was all piled up with money.

Only when you have money can you talk about development!

The next morning, Yin Jun called Wei Xiaofan and asked him to represent himself and cooperate with Huhai Fine Arts Film Producers.

The specific details of the contract will be faxed to Xiangjiang after the two parties have negotiated appropriately, and after Yin Jun's consent, it can take effect immediately.

Including the nine employees in front, they can also wait in Shanghai for the time being and come over with the follow-up talents.

Since Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio fully supports it, Yin Jun's initial plan is to find 30 elites in art, 10 relatively young, preferably 26-28 years old elites in the animation department, a total of 40 people, of course, it doesn't matter if there are more.

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

Even the elites of the 10 animation departments will not work in Xiangjiang at all, but will first go to Japan and the United States to study and work for a period of time, and then become familiar with more advanced animation production methods, and then return to Xiangjiang to make animation, and Yin Jun can still pay for their various expenses.

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

As for whether these people would like to come back?

Hehe, of course Yin Jun will sign an agreement with them, except for Yin Jun and Yin Jun's assignment, they will not be able to work for others for twenty years.

Such a contract may not be of much use in the mainland, but in Japan or Europe and the United States, it has a very strong legal effect, and the Japanese do not dare to use them at all, otherwise they will wait for Yin Jun to sue them for bankruptcy.

Moreover, the Chinese are notoriously nostalgic for the old 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 factory in China was like in this era, and after the initial cooperation agreement was reached, Yin Jun directly asked Wei Xiaofan to take 200,000 US dollars to Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio as an advance payment for the first year's signing money.

Many of the tools and equipment of Huhai Fine Arts Film Studio are imported from abroad, and they used to be poor and had no money, so they could only buy some second-hand goods.

Now that there is such a huge amount of money all of a sudden, they are so excited that even the 40,000 old men and the old men jumped out, saying that I want to buy this, I want to buy that, and quickly get it back to me, so that we can start work!

However, due to the fanfare, the people of Huhai Art Film Studio were not happy for a few days, and the money was taken away by the superiors, and then 200,000 yuan was allocated to Huhai Art Film Studio.

This can make a group of old men angry, calling the city every day to make trouble, but there is no way to change the decisions of the above.

After all, the mainland is really short of US dollars now, and seeing that there is such a channel, how can you not seize it?

This is not all, I heard that I can get a signing fee of 1 million yuan every year, and the higher department directly asked for it to be changed to 500,000 US dollars, and then everyone split it in half, otherwise don't think about it.

If it weren't for Wei Xiaofan's resolute opposition, they would all want to say that you will also pay all the salaries, and then you will leave the rest alone - this is another attempt to exchange RMB for US dollars.

Those employees may not object, because their interests are still the same, and they should have been given RMB as a salary.

But this is not the same for Kirin Culture Co., Ltd.

The signing fee of 1 million yuan can be done by only spending 2 million Hong Kong dollars on the Xiangjiang side.

But if you use the standards of the mainland, 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 is a loss of 35%!

Fortunately, they also knew that this proposal was unreliable, so in terms of the signing fee, they did not ask for it in the end, but turned to let Kylin Culture Co., Ltd. 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 more.

In terms of salary payment, Huhai Art Film Studio also has some careful thoughts, they are determined to let Yin Jun pay most of the salary directly in Hong Kong dollars, and then go to Xiangjiang only need to take about 10% of the pocket money, anyway, Yin Jun is to cover the food and accommodation of the employees, these people have no place to use the money, it is better to take it here for the family, and then let the Huhai Art Film Studio have a hand, the difference in purchasing power between Hong Kong dollars and RMB is also a place where you can earn a little.

Such an idea, of course, would not have been thought up by Yan Dingxian, and it can be known from his conversation with Wei Xiaofan that this person is very atmospheric and will not care about this trivial matter.

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

……

Not to mention that Wei Xiaofan fought wits and courage with those old foxes in Huhai, Yin Jun was in Xiangjiang and also had something to do.

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

What authorization?

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

Wait a minute!

Didn't "Transformers" only be prototyped by Japan's Takara in 1983, and they cooperated with Hasbro to launch the anime in 84, and Marvel gave Transformers life in 85 to make them intelligent robots?

It's only 1979, and Takara doesn't even have an idea, right?

In fact, if you talk about "Transformers" alone, it's true.

The Japanese company Takara sold the idea of "Transformers" to Hasbro in '84, allowing them to make and sell it in North America.

Then Hasbro felt that the setting of "Transformers" was too rough and uninnovative, so he commissioned Marvel to conceive and create the story of Transformers, and then made it into a cartoon, which became popular all over Europe and the United States at once, and then naturally, they sold "Transformers" toys and sold them out of stock, making a lot of money.

That's what happened four or five years from now, and it really has nothing to do with the present.

However, when it comes to the deepest copyright issues, there are actually two small loopholes.

The first one is "MSI Superman", which is also the work of Takara Company, they launched this series of character dolls in 1974, including cars and robots, which can be transformed and assembled, this is the prototype of Transformers, and it is on this basis that they later made a more systematic "Transformers".

Last year, "MSI Superman" was also adapted into a comic book published in the United States, and it was painted by the famous Marvel Company.

And the setting of "MSI Superman" is completely unavoidable by "Transformers".

Its main content is the Hundred Years War between two factions of a planet, Superman, which destroyed the planet, and then came to Earth to fight again.

Although you can say that we are robots and you are Superman, which is completely different, but if you consider the logic and the fact that "MSI Superman" already has a robot model that can be deformed and assembled, this hurdle is obviously not so passable.

Since you can't get there, go ahead and ask for permission.

Now Takara has not thought about any Transformers ideas, and it should not be expensive to buy "the right to make derivative works and products" from them - who would have thought that this will involve a huge industrial chain of hundreds of billions of dollars?

In addition to this, there is also something that cannot be bypassed.

That's Hasbro's patented "body" technology, which is the dolls' movable joint technology, without which Transformers dolls can't be transformed.

A Transformer that can't be transformed, so what is it?

Whether it's TV movies or the most basic dolls, there's no place to play, and it can't arouse the crazy pursuit of children around the world.

At this point, the Americans and the Japanese are the same, as long as it does not involve their own core interests, these patented technologies, they will consider transferring, it is just a matter of price.

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

As long as Yin Jun can get the authorization of these two patents and rights, then "Transformers" will have no obstacle at all, and this behemoth worth hundreds of billions of dollars will inevitably belong to Yin Jun alone!

Think about it, in the future, people from Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other countries will watch the "Transformers" anime and movies produced by Huaguo, play with Transformers toys produced by Huaguo, and continue to get monetary benefits and favor existence, what an exciting thing this is? )
