There are two representatives sent by the virtual battle company, one of whom Bai Xiaowen knows, a fat middle-aged uncle named Anritsu, who is the person in charge of the virtual battle company's branch in Jinghai Base City.

When Bai Xiaowen's virtual store was shipped for the first time, it signed a guarantee agreement with the Jinghai branch of the virtual battle company, and it was the person in charge An Li who appeared at that time.

Anritsu is just an intermediate awakened person with a standard template, he doesn't have much pursuit of personal strength, and when people reach middle age, they are more eager for a comfortable and decent life. For virtual battle companies, it is more convenient to hire an Awakened to be in charge of the branch, and it is more convenient to store and transport psionic items.

There are still many awakened people like Anritsu who are not strong and have limited potential. The spirit world is reluctant to go, and the wilderness area only dares to go to low-risk places, and the strength is basically standing still, so it is better to give up on the path of evolution and enjoy life.

It should be noted that even such an awakened person at the bottom still has a better life than most ordinary people. This is also the reason why the profession of the awakened is sought after by the majority of parents.

And this time in the negotiations, Anritsu only accompanied. He introduced his companion to Bai Xiaowen very ceremoniously.

"Mr. Bai, this is Yuan Hongji, the negotiator sent by our company's headquarters, and he can be fully responsible for the issue of your image and the right to use the template. ”

After Yuan Hongji shook hands with Bai Xiaowen, he looked at Bai Xiaowen carefully, and said with a smile: "Bai Xiaowen has more star temperament than I imagined. ”

Bai Xiaowen greeted the two of them, and at the same time introduced his exclusive agent Sister Zheng to Yuan Hongji.

The benefits of having an exclusive agent are reflected, Bai Xiaowen and An Li sat on the side drinking tea and chatting, just watching Sister Zheng and Yuan Hongji negotiate.

"In terms of the right to use Bai Xiaowen's image template, our company's intention is to buy out 10 million, of course, the scope of the buyout is limited to the player platform of the virtual battle platform...... This price is already very sincere for an intermediate awakened person. This is a win-win situation, Bai Xiaowen's personal image logs into the player platform, and the attention he receives will skyrocket......"

"Really?" Sister Zheng smiled slightly, "I have a different opinion. ”

"Speak. "In front of the beautiful lady, Yuan Hongji's demeanor is still very good.

"The virtual battle company buys out more than 100 awakened templates every year, and among these 100 awakened people, there are less than 10 awakened people who can get a certain degree of exposure. The other more than ninety awakened people, their personal world popularity has not increased significantly, and I have made statistics on this, and there is a table. Could Mr. Yuan please take a closer look, is there any difference between my statistics and your company's real data?"

Sister Zheng handed a folder to Yuan Hongji.

Yuan Hongji's original relaxed expression was put away, and it became a little dignified. He didn't actually need to read that information, and he knew that Sister Zheng was telling the truth.

The virtual battle company bought the Awakened template, mainly to enrich the huge database of the player platform, enrich the choice of characters, and make the game of the player platform more playable. The promotion resources are limited, and there are only dozens of awakened characters that are pushed every year.

Yuan Hongji pretended to look through the information, and his mind was organizing the language. Soon he completed his psychological self-adjustment, raised his head and smiled again: "This information is very detailed, and Ms. Zheng's news is very accurate......

After a pause, Yuan Hongji continued: "In terms of newcomer promotion, Ms. Zheng can rest assured that the awakened person template like Bai Xiaowen belongs to a first-class high-quality potential role, and we will definitely recommend it among the newcomers who have bought out this year." ”

Sister Zheng smiled: "I'm glad that we can reach a basic consensus. However, I hope that your company will put Bai Xiaowen in a more important position, not just as a newcomer. ”

"A more important location?"

"Yes. Lingyuan '97 is coming, and the virtual battle company should have a new version to update, right?I hope Bai Xiaowen can have a sufficiently heavy appearance animation in the opening CG of the new version of '97. Sister Zheng told her true purpose.

Yuan Hongji's face changed, and he shook his head again and again: "This is impossible, I can't agree." ”

The so-called opening CG of the new version refers to an animation with a length of more than ten seconds to tens of seconds, and many of the classic awakened character images on the player's platform will appear in it.

(Students who have played The King of Fighters can make up the opening animation of The King of Fighters 97, dozens of fighting characters take turns to pose to show their faces, among which the protagonist team (Kusanagi Kyo team) and Yagami-an, as well as the hell band have precious action pictures, which is impressive)

This dozens of seconds of CG can be said to be inch by second, and many awakened people would rather stick money upside down and want to squeeze in.

That's a huge advertising effect. Every CG of the virtual battle company is so well done that some people jokingly say that the virtual battle company should be renamed a virtual film company.

Almost every ordinary person who uses the player platform will click to watch the new version of CG, and every awakened character that appears in it is a treasure, and the new faces often cause heated discussions, and even make headlines.

Sister Zheng opened her mouth, not only asking the virtual battle company to put Bai Xiaowen's character into the opening CG of the New Year's version, but also asking for "weighty animation" treatment like the protagonist, but Yuan Hongji decisively refused.

Sister Zheng is not discouraged, the focus of business negotiations is not to win, but to communicate with the other party and find the key point that is acceptable to both parties.

"Mr. Yuan, can you take a look at my employer, his personal image, figure, temperament, and most importantly, the strength template, which one is not top? I can guarantee that your company will definitely achieve unimaginable results by taking him as the protagonist of the opening CG. ”

Yuan Hongji said: "I admit that Bai Xiaowen has the potential to become a superstar, but this is only potential. In that important opening CG, there are no less than ten superstars, all of whom are classic characters of the player's platform, and they need to occupy the main part of the CG! Let them set off a newcomer? ”

"Why is it impossible? Classic characters are advantages, but also disadvantages, players who are used to seeing old faces, in the new version, are they willing to see more new characters, or continue to fry cold rice against those old characters? ”

Yuan Hongji narrowed his eyes and began to think, what Sister Zheng said also made sense.

In the new version of 97, if the opening CG is some old characters that existed three years ago, five years ago or even ten years ago, what is the difference between it and the 96 version?

Without the novelty, the player's support for the platform will definitely drop - and the platform for the battle is not only a virtual battle company, this is not a unique business.

"I have to ask for the opinions of the company's top management. Yuan Hongji stood up and walked out the door.

After walking out of the door, Yuan Hongji raised his eyes and saw a group of people who were pressed by the black.

"You ...... Who are you looking for?" Yuan Hongji was a little dizzy. The crowd in front of me is mostly girls, most of them are fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls.

"Are you the negotiator of the virtual battle company? and you want to talk to Xiaowen about the right to use the template?" In a vote of cute girls, Yi Yi squeezed over, and the voice as sweet and greasy as marshmallow made people's bodies crisp half off.

Yiyi's voice is not the kind of disgusting pretense, but a really natural, sweet and greasy smell from the inside out.

"Uh, yes......"

Before Yuan Hongji could finish his sentence, he was almost drowned out by the surging sound.

"Great, I have to bring Xiaowen's character to the player platform! I've wanted to try out the feeling of the Grand Summoning genre for a long time. Wu Mengchen, a little boy with a slight pimple on his face, shouted.

"Me too, as long as Xiaowen's character is online, I will buy it no matter how much it is, and I want to collect all the skins!" said another chubby, round-faced girl.

"Yes, Xiaowen is so good-looking, I want to buy it too! We are all loyal users of the player platform of the virtual battle company. ”

Yuan Hongji finally found a gap, and hurriedly thanked him on behalf of the company, and then asked, "You are all fans of Bai Xiaowen?"

"yes, we're all here for a fan meeting. ”

"It's not easy to get qualified for this fan meeting, and those classmates and roommates of mine are envious of me. ”

“......”

Balabala is another big string, and Yuan Hongji is dizzy when he hears it. However, he also understands that the fan meeting and negotiation should be the means of that agent.

As a mature business negotiator, Yuan Hongji does not dislike Sister Zheng's approach, and the negotiator must of course do everything possible to show his own advantages.

This is a clear demonstration of Bai Xiaowen's attraction to fans, especially young fans, and young men and women are precisely the main consumers of the virtual battle company's player platform.

Finally got rid of the onlookers of these fans, and Yuan Hongji's call with the senior leaders of the virtual battle company, his attitude and position have changed subtly.

Originally, he thought that what Sister Zheng said was that it was a fantasy to let Bai Xiaowen's character play the protagonist of the new version of CG - because of Bai Xiaowen's qualifications, it was almost impossible to even enter CG, and at most he would show his face in the same frame with several other outstanding newcomers.

But now, Yuan Hongji thinks that it is not impossible to be bold and innovative and use Bai Xiaowen as the CG actor......

Connected to the phone of the company's senior management, Yuan Hongji roughly stated the situation, and put forward a suggestion to let Bai Xiaowen be the CG actor.

"Your proposal does have the potential to succeed and further expand our company's share of the gaming market. However, it's too risky to do so, and we can't afford to put a wager on a level 5 awakened person after a whole year of planning on our Virtual Battle Company player platform......"

On the other end of the phone, the company's senior management quickly gave feedback and gave the bottom line of Yuan Hongji's negotiation:

"The new version of the opening animation is every second, and you know the importance. The company's bottom line is that Bai Xiaowen can enjoy an exclusive appearance screen as a newcomer, and even create some appearance actions for him, but it is absolutely impossible to be the leading actor,"

After a pause, the high-level commanded again: "You can propose first, let Bai Xiaowen appear with the other two newcomers in the opening animation, and share a frame of appearance." If that can be discussed, so much the better. ”

Yuan Hongji could only nod: "Yes, Mr. Chen, I try my best." However, the other party's agent is difficult to entangle. ”

Mr. Chen on the other end of the phone said a few words of encouragement and hung up the phone.

Yuan Hongji sighed in his heart, Mr. Chen still wanted to seek stability, not to rush forward. As a small soldier below, Yuan Hongji can only act on orders.

Back in the conference room, Yuan Hongji and Sister Zheng talked again.

In fact, Sister Zheng put forward the request to let Bai Xiaowen's role be the leading role of CG in advance, but it was just a sky-high asking price, seeing Yuan Hongji's resolute attitude, she didn't force it, and took a step back to accept Yuan Hongji's bottom line, that is, let Bai Xiaowen appear alone and have actions in the early stage of CG, and the appearance time should not be less than 1 second.

This is already the treatment of a big star, and in a few tens of seconds of CG, the importance is only inferior to that of the protagonist.

"For this content, although it didn't meet my expectations, it was still barely acceptable," Sister Zheng took out a stack of documents and materials, and said to Yuan Hongji with a smile, "Mr. Yuan, you have worked hard." Do you want to take a break, and then we'll have a second one, the signing fee?"

“......”

Yuan Hongji was stunned for a second, and subconsciously asked, "What's the problem with the 10 million buyout?"

Sister Zheng decisively took over the conversation and entered the negotiation of the second content: "As far as I understand, there are two types of contract templates between your company and the role of the Awakened, one is a buyout, and the other is a share. I have absolute confidence in my employer's potential, so a buyout contract is clearly detrimental to my employer's interests. I would like you to provide you with another model contract, the split contract. ”

Yuan Hongji hadn't spoken yet, and Sister Zheng had already handed him two stacks of text materials, one for the buyout contract and the other for the sharing contract.

Yuan Hongji sighed, he was too light on the enemy, thinking that he was just facing a young man, but he didn't expect Bai Xiaowen's agent to be so difficult.

From these two contracts alone, it can be seen that Sister Zheng is well prepared.

"How to determine the proportion of the sharing contract? This sharing contract template you gave me belongs to the S-level sharing contract, which is the treatment of a superstar. It is impossible for Bai Xiaowen to enjoy 75% of the share of the station and 90% of the surrounding income, which is ridiculous. ”

"We can sign milestone sharing contracts. Sister Zheng took out the third stack of materials and said with a smile.

The so-called milestone contract is actually a gambling contract, which bets on the revenue benefits that Bai Xiaowen will bring to the platform in a certain period of time, including the revenue from unlocking characters on the site, as well as the subsequent sales of peripheral products, figures, etc.

If a milestone is reached, the revenue is split in proportion to the corresponding milestone. The higher the revenue, the higher Bai Xiaowen's share ratio.

Yuan Hongji looked at the thick third stack of materials, and felt inexplicably weak in his heart......
