Li Zhi actually has little interest in the comic copyright library accumulated by CE Animation Company over the past 20 years. According to his opinion, these useless animation copyrights can be sold for cash and used for new projects.
Development, and even all ongoing projects of CE Animation Company, can be stopped.
However, looking at Kato Kotani's intention, it is obvious that he does not want to do this. This kind of behavior is a waste of money. Without the copyright library accumulated over the years, is it necessary for CE Animation Company to exist?
The reason why ce animation company makes money is half of the credit goes to ce animation company’s copyright library!
Many big animation companies have been coveting the copyright library of CE Animation Company for a long time. After all, not any animation company can exist for more than 20 years without going bankrupt. There are only two ways for new animation companies to accumulate copyrights.
One relies on time accumulation, and the other relies on acquisitions.
Since Kato Kotani is unwilling to sell the copyright library of CE Animation Company, Li Zhi also 'respects' his opinion in comparison with the price. After all, he is a veteran of CE Animation Company for more than 20 years, and Li Zhi is not short of this little money.
Li Zhi acquired ce animation company. Firstly, he felt that although this animation company is not very large, it has a long history. Secondly, because it has its own complete distribution channels, industrial chain, etc. Although it is small, it has all the internal organs. If you want to
It is not very difficult to expand the scale!
"The company has two options. The first is to stop all current projects and make the "Charming Rose" comic. The second is to continue all current projects and continue to make the character prototype comic of "Charming Rose". The storyline,
Including the character of "Charming Rose", they are all ready-made. This is an outsourcing project. If CE Animation Company has the ability, not only the comics about "Charming Rose", but even the animation part of "Charming Rose" can also be licensed to
ce animation company!" Li Zhi said calmly.
"Charming Rose?" Xiaotani Jiateng was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of this name.
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, it's 'Charming Rose'. To put it simply, Charming Rose is a virtual idol prototype. She comes from 'Binghun Entertainment Company'!"
Whether it is Ice Soul Entertainment Company or the prototype of the virtual idol "Charming Rose", it is a very unfamiliar synonym for Kotani Katen.
Li Zhi's purpose in acquiring "CE Animation Company" is to warm up "Charming Rose". The outline of the comic story was written by Xiaobing. The name of the comic is "Charming Rose", which is a short story about Charming Rose saving the world.
After communicating with Katen Kotani for nearly two hours, he was officially appointed as the general manager of 'CE Animation Company'. From now on, CE Animation Company will be divided into two departments. All original projects will be put under the responsibility of the second department, and the first department will be responsible for it.
Specially responsible for the creation of "Charming Rose" comics.
The prototype character of 'Charming Rose' has been created and the main story line has been set. All that's left is to find an artist and create comics in batches. In fact, this is not difficult. As long as the price is right, any artist can be found.
Studio creation is much faster than personal creation.
First of all, the comic "Charming Rose" is a comic of the same name authorized by "Ice Soul Entertainment Company" to ce animation company, and then "ce animation company" creates it. ce animation company only owns the creation of the comic "Charming Rose"
Rights, there is no copyright in comics and comic characters.
CE Animation Company can only create storylines provided by Ice Soul Entertainment Company, and cannot add extras to the plot.
All rights still belong to ‘Binghun Entertainment Company’.
The first comic studio of "Charming Rose" established by CE Animation Company. Neither this studio nor the painters in the studio have anything to do with the prototype of "Charming Rose".
Kotani Jiateng looked at the cooperation agreement in his hand and was silent for a while. Then he boldly looked up at Li Zhi and asked: "Why should we agree to such a harsh contract from the boss?"
Until now, CE Animation Company has not even seen the prototype of the so-called "Charming Rose" virtual idol. In Kotani Kato's view, this contract is too harsh. CE Animation Company established the first animation studio of "Charming Rose"
, it requires an investment of at least 10 million US dollars. With such a large amount of money invested, ce animation company not only does not have any copyright to the prototype of the Meigui idol, it can even be said that ce animation company has nothing to do with the "Meigui" comic.
No, they are only responsible for painting, and they are an outsourcing company of the Ice Soul Entertainment Company.
This felt very unfair to both ce animation company and his own boss, Kato Kotani, so he couldn't understand why his boss agreed to such a harsh contract.
"It's actually very simple!" Li Zhi smiled and shrugged, and said: "Because Ice Soul Entertainment Company is my wholly-owned company. The reason why I came to Japan to acquire CE Animation Company is to replace 'Ice Soul Entertainment Company'
, looking for an outsourcing company for the idol prototype of 'Charming Rose'!"
Very simple indeed!
Kotani Katen frowned and asked in confusion: "Since 'Binghun Entertainment Company' is your wholly-owned company, boss, and CE Animation Company is also your wholly-owned company, why don't you convert the 'Charming Rose' idol
Are the comic copyrights of the prototype licensed to CE Company?"
Li Zhi just smiled, shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient!"
Inconvenient? Where is it inconvenient?
Kato Kotani is still very puzzled, but whether he can figure it out or not, this is not very important. What is important is that all the say of CE Animation Company is in the hands of the boss. He can only do what the boss needs him to do.
You have no right to challenge the boss!
"The preparations for the first comic studio of 'Charming Rose' will be left to you. I want you to find the best artist and don't be afraid of spending money. I have already given you the outline of the main story line. The remaining creations should not be
It’s difficult, isn’t it? Can you finish the first volume in half a month?” Li Zhi leaned on the chair and asked with a smile.
Half a month?
Kotani Katen frowned and asked: "Boss, is this 'Charming Rose' comic urgent?"
Li Zhi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not too urgent to be in a hurry. Comics are only part of the promotion of the idol prototype of 'Charming Rose'. In addition to CE Animation Company's 'Charming Rose No. 1 Comic Studio', I will also acquire some other
The animation company has established the first, second, and third animation studios to specifically serve the idol prototype of "Charming Rose". You are not the only one. It can only be said that you have the advantage of time. As for whether you will be employed by other people in the future.
I can’t guarantee that it will be banned, so for you, the sooner Meigui comics come out, the more stable your status will be!”
When acquiring ce animation company, Li Zhi’s original idea was to serve the prototype of the ‘Charming Rose’ virtual idol. There is nothing to be picky about.
"Yes, boss, I understand!" Xiaotani Jiateng sighed inwardly, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little curious about the prototype of 'Charming Rose'.
Listening to what the boss said, the "Charming Comics Studio" established by their CE animation company is not the only one that draws charms for "Binghun Entertainment Company", but whether it is acquiring an animation company or setting up an animation studio, the price is very high.
It won’t be cheap. Is such a heavy investment really necessary?
"Do it well. I don't value ce animation company's other performance. I only value the 'Charming Rose' comic. If you can't do this well, no matter how good ce animation company's performance is, you won't get awards. This is my point.
I hope you can understand. To put it bluntly, the "Charming Rose" comics are directly linked to your performance. If you want to do better, make more money, and gain my appreciation, all you need to do well in the "Charming Rose" comics is
It's enough to make the 'Charming Rose' comic!" After Li Zhi finished speaking, he stood up from his chair and said flatly: "From now on, CE Animation Company will be handed over to you!"
Kotani Katen respectfully sent Li Zhi and his party downstairs, bowed and watched the car leave.
"Ask the Binghun Group to send two financial personnel over to supervise the financial situation of CE Animation Company. The rest will be left to Xiaotani Jiateng for the time being, so don't worry about it." Li Zhi sat in the car and ordered Sun Jiao.
"Okay!" Sun Jiao immediately called the headquarters of the Domestic Binghun Group.
Sun Rao, who was sitting next to Li Zhi, asked curiously: "Boss, the development potential of ce animation company can only be considered average. You have a lot of funds in your hands, why don't you acquire those big animation companies? For example,
Japan, God Fighter, Pirates, Slam Dunk, Dragon Ball, those are the real big comic IPs, right?"
Li Zhi looked at her, smiled and shook his head and said: "What do I want from those big animation companies? You are right, those comic IP copyrights are indeed global, but you also have to know that the price of those animation IP copyrights is also
It will be very high, and the purchase cannot be finalized in just a few words. It takes time to negotiate.
And I don't have the patience to talk about that. What we need is not the IP of those big animation companies. I acquired ce animation company entirely because of the first implementation of the 'Charming Rose' virtual idol prototype. There are a large number of mature cartoonists in Japan, and these comics
The price is very cheap, but the paintings are pretty good.”
"Even if the painting is good, it is not as good as the 'artificial intelligence' Xiaobing," Sun Rao retorted.
Li Zhi laughed twice, shook his head and said: "It is precisely because Xiaobing's drawings are so good that I can't let him draw them. Xiaobing's drawings are too formatted and have no human atmosphere. Comics are comics and are drawn by people.
.”
"Wrong sense!" Sun Rao didn't quite agree with Li Zhi's point of view.
The reason why Li Zhi doesn't let Xiaobing paint is because all the work depends on Xiaobing, so how can others make a living? These things in the cultural industry still need people to complete them.
Li Zhi has high expectations for the prototype of the 'Charming Rose' virtual idol, including her peripheral derivatives. Standard things are not valuable. Can they be called art? Can something that is 100% perfect be called art?
That's a machined product!
The prototype of the 'Charming Rose' virtual idol is worth three million interstellar coins, so the price of her peripheral products is probably not too bad. Therefore, these comics can not only be sold on earth, but can also be spread through the 'Interstellar Business Alliance'
go out.
The idol "Charming Rose" does not only belong to human beings, she belongs to the entire universe! (To be continued)
