Although he has some doubts about his eldest sister's abilities, Sun Peng doesn't need an agent now. What comes and goes is the physical version of the Condor and the copyright of Crazy Lady. The latter is still stirring in his own cauldron.
Secondly, she is her eldest sister after all. If Sun Peng doesn’t support her, who will?
Laughing and joking, the matter of the agent was settled.
However, although it is said that the eldest sister should be the agent, in fact, Sun Peng really has nothing to do for her now, so the agent contract has not been signed, and it will be discussed in the future when there will be more work. Now, Sun Peng himself
One person is enough to handle it.
But early the next morning, Sun Peng went to the Animation School to sign the contract for the short film.
He has now figured it out. With the prices and labor costs in this world, more than 300,000 yuan is really not expensive to make a short film of a few minutes. Moreover, they guarantee that the work will be available in mid-June, so why not sign it quickly?
As soon as the contract was signed, the character scene settings and the storyboard script were handed over, the work started before the team was even assembled.
As an investor in animated short films, Sun Peng, who was idle every day, naturally had to devote himself to the preparation and production. Then he soon discovered that he had learned something during the three years he spent at the Animation School.
Although others always looked at him with a look of disdain when they looked at his work, it was not full of contempt...
Busy and busy, the days passed by like this.
In fact, just like any ordinary job, when the animation is produced, it may be wonderful or mediocre, but when it is produced, it is very boring. Sun Peng was already deeply aware of it when he first made that simple animation for the Condor.
I understand. Although there are many people this time, the scale and requirements of the production are not the same, so the daily work is also fully scheduled, and the life is quite fulfilling.
Time flies and it’s the end of May.
"...I just checked my account and I have received it! Thank you, Editor Zheng!"
When he called Zheng Ye, Sun Peng's voice was still slightly trembling. He couldn't help but tremble. There was still a hundred and a bit left after the tax was deducted... Except for the time when he paid the inheritance tax, Sun Peng had spent his whole life.
I have never seen so much cash at once!
"Haha, this is what I should do."
After being polite in an understatement, Zheng Ye's voice could not hear a trace of fluctuation. However, if someone stood next to the editor at this time, they would definitely find that Zheng Ye's face was slightly red at this time.
His jaw was clenched tightly, and several veins on his neck popped out...
"Damn, twelve o'clock!!!"
While trying his best to talk to Sun Peng in a calm tone, Zheng Ye roared crazily in his heart. If he had known that the condor was selling so well, he should have worked hard to buy it out for this guy, or just buy it out for this guy, or
...No matter what, we have to lower the royalties to ten points! The average fee for a newbie is eight points, and ten points is already a very good price for an outstanding newcomer. If you grind a little more, maybe he will agree?
If Sun Peng gets twelve points, Zheng Ye will get a lot less money.
But of course Zheng Ye didn't dare to show this attitude directly at this moment, and quickly said with a smile: "Mr. Sun, I just take the opportunity to settle the royalties to inform you that my application for adding the Condor Seal to the club has been approved.
It's here. If you don't have any objections, you can go to the printing factory this week..."
"Ah? So fast?"
Hearing what Zheng Ye said, Sun Peng was suddenly surprised and happy!
The meaning of additional printing is very simple. It means that the 60,000 copies printed for the first time are almost sold out or a large part of them have been sold. In order to ensure that subsequent dealers will not run out of stock, the publishing house must print them in advance.
One batch. For Sun Peng, the meaning of printing is more direct...
Ouch, that’s money!
Sun Peng signed a royalty contract with the publishing house. The settlement does not depend on how many copies the publishing house sells, but only how many copies they print. The publishing house will pay Sun Peng for each additional printing. Therefore, if Shuxiang Publishing House needs to add more copies,
If you want to print the Eagle, you must obtain Sun Peng's consent and then tell him the number of copies to be printed...
"Yes, the first batch of 60,000 copies has been sent out."
When it comes to the sales of The Condor, Zheng Ye's depression immediately dissipated a lot, and he said with a smile: "And based on the sales volume of Jingxi Mall and Guhu.com, it is estimated that these 60,000 copies will not last long...
Mr. Sun, your readers are very awesome! Moreover, The Condor has been on the sales rankings in the past few weeks, and its reputation is also very good."
"So, how many more copies will be printed this time?"
After taking a deep breath, Sun Peng immediately asked his most critical question.
"Well, fifty thousand copies!"
After a moment of silence, Zheng Ye replied with a smile.
"Ah? Only fifty thousand copies?"
After hearing this number, Sun Peng was slightly surprised and said: "Editor Zheng, is 50,000 copies a little less? We sold almost 60,000 copies in a month. You are printing an additional 50,000 copies this time...
How long can it be sold? It’s better to print more at once and save the trouble of having to print more soon!”
"Well……"
Regarding Sun Peng's doubtful statement, Zheng Ye was speechless.
After a long pause, Zheng Ye organized his words and said with a smile: "Well... the accounts are not calculated that way! First of all, just because 60,000 copies have been shipped does not mean that 60,000 copies have been sold.
Because the first batch of goods sold well, the dealers purchased a relatively large second batch, which is enough to sell for a while; secondly, according to our estimation, the buyers of our technique are mainly from Shuxiang Chinese website
Readers are the main priority, so fifty thousand copies... is quite a lot!"
"...That's it."
After listening to Zheng Ye's explanation, a trace of disappointment inevitably appeared on Sun Peng's face.
After all, it's all about money.
The designer's first draft has been shown to him. The dilapidated old house instantly glowed with new vitality under the charming designer's pen. The so-called new Chinese style in this world was far beyond Sun Peng's expectation. At first glance, he
I completely fell in love with it. But as beautiful as it is, the cost of renovation and decoration is also eye-popping - if all the materials Sun Peng wanted were used, it would cost at least 1.8 million!
If there are changes in the final draft, two million is not impossible!
When he thought that he might have to spend two million to renovate a house, he felt that he must be going crazy... The problem was that Sun Peng was almost certain that he would spend so much money. The three-dimensional design drawing given by the designer was really
So beautiful!
Two million!
This time the royalties were just over one million. If 50,000 more copies were printed, the tax would be less than one million. The total would be just enough to decorate this house. How could this not disappoint Sun Peng? He still expected
I hope I can get more royalties and buy some nice things to decorate my new home...
However, after hanging up the editor's phone, Sun Peng's mood quickly adjusted back.
As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy.
If you think about it carefully now, you have a courtyard house in the center of Beijing, and you will soon transform it into the look you like. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
"Buzz..."
Just when Sun Peng secretly laughed at himself, his phone vibrated again. As soon as he picked up the phone and connected it, Zhao Jinxiang's excited voice came over: "Xiao Peng, have you read it?"
