In fact, no world or industry can escape the clutches of the 80/20 rule.
Twenty percent of the people occupy 80% of the wealth, and the remaining 20% of the wealth belongs to the other 80% of the people.
Children's picture book writers, like comic book writers, will always be a minority who can succeed. Most writers with dreams often struggle to make ends meet, and they do not rely on their own works to make ends meet, but rely on financial support.
Other picture book writers work as assistants, or do illustrations for others.
The top picture book writers are even rarer.
Moreover, if you draw well, you may not be able to tell a good story, and the painting style that can tell a story may not necessarily keep up with the trend of the times. And those picture book writers who can tell stories and draw well have their works submerged in tens of thousands of
In the ocean of books, it may not be discovered by publishers or readers.
After all, picture books are not online novels and have too many limitations.
That's why Chen Ruoyi has become the envy of countless picture book writers, because in recent years, Chen Ruoyi, who has always been put together with Lao Bai's name, is undoubtedly the one standing on the top of the pyramid among picture book writers... at least on the second level.
Therefore, this is the reason why Sun Peng can terminate the cooperation with peace of mind.
A few years ago, when the two of them didn't cooperate, Chen Ruoyi and the others even had to worry about the rent. But now, they have already bought a villa in Beijing as a studio, and their annual royalties and dividends start at one million.
Who wouldn’t envy such a life?
Not to mention those picture book writers who are still at the bottom, who have already entered the middle level, and even the middle and upper-middle-level picture book writers, I am afraid they are not willing to give up such an opportunity. Not only the financial benefits, but also the huge gain in fame.
It is undoubtedly more important for a writer...
Sun Peng was a little surprised by such a result, but he soon figured it out.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said: "Then please help me, second sister, to find a few candidates. The painting style should be more refined, and the age should not be too old."
"Okay, no problem."
She agreed without hesitation, and then Sun Ya raised her eyebrows and asked: "These are all small things, the important thing is the Avengers series you are talking about! Now not only is Paramount calling me every day to urge me,
The Forbidden City's house manager and Lotus's manager Zhou were also a little anxious. Yesterday they asked me when we could start talking... I said I would wait until you finished filming "The Martian", but the news reached their ears as soon as you came back.
Already."
"..."
Regarding this matter, Sun Peng could only spread his hands and express his helplessness.
There is no way, the crew is so big, and the final meal of hundreds of people will definitely not be able to keep the news. And Sun Peng has not been able to say anything because of this. Industry bosses like Fang Lanshen and Zhou An want to start from
It couldn't be easier for some people to get the news from their mouths.
So after thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng shrugged and said, "Tell them, in a week... I just finished filming "The Martian", so taking a week off is not too much."
If possible, Sun Peng actually wants to wait until the end of the year or the beginning of next year.
After all, which heroes will be included in the first phase of the Avengers, whether the heroes in the second phase will be Chineseized or discarded, and whether DC heroes will join in, have not yet been considered. Originally, Sun Peng wanted to
I asked some professionals to consult, but after rummaging through movies on the Internet, I discovered that, let alone the Chinese film industry, even Hollywood seemed to have not made any similar big projects.
Hollywood has 20 or 30 major series, but those are movies similar to 007, which lasted for decades, and are completely different from The Avengers.
So after thinking about it, Sun Peng decided to advance the meeting time with the three film companies, and then established a planning group led by himself and assisted by the three film giants. This might make people more at ease.
After hearing what he said, Sun Ya was obviously relieved, nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Okay, I will tell them about this tomorrow... Haha, it is estimated that it will take up to three days, Paramount's
Mr. CEO is about to fly to the capital."
"President? You mean that Tim Hardaway?"
After hearing what the second sister said, Sun Peng blinked and asked with some confusion: "He is the president of a Hollywood giant, so he won't go there in person, right?"
"Haha, that's not the case?"
Pouring her lips, Sun Ya said with a bit of disdain: "They, a Hollywood giant, have become like that, what else can't be done? Haha, let me tell you, this cooperation with you will probably result in the bankruptcy of Paramount or
Before being acquired, this is the last life-saving straw they can grasp..."
…
Two days later, Paramount Pictures, USA.
"Bang!"
"Damn it, don't you understand?"
Slapping the table in front of him, Tim Hardaway suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "This is our last chance at Paramount, and it is also the best chance! What else do you want to consider?"
What else do I need to consider? Just let me go to the capital of China and agree to the conditions proposed by laobai!"
Amidst Tim Hardaway's angry shouts, the other three people in the room looked very ugly.
There is no other way, surrendering to the enemy is the most unacceptable thing.
As the vanguard and main force of the previous anti-Laobai campaign, Paramount executives never imagined that there would be a day when their president would put aside his dignity and go to the capital of China to take the initiative to meet Mr. Laobai.
So after a moment of silence, a middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and said: "Tim, the problem is that what laobai said is an unprecedentedly large series! At least ten movies, with an investment of more than 1.5 billion US dollars... We sent
Ramon simply doesn’t have the ability to spend so much money right now..."
She didn't question whether the series was successful because that didn't make any sense.
Everyone knows that laobai has never failed, especially when it comes to creating a series of movies, and it is a model of success around the world! So even if there are objections to this cooperation, no one dares to question this.
"So, we must cooperate with China Film Company!"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Tim Hardaway immediately said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows that they have made a lot of money in the local market in recent years, especially the Forbidden City and Lotus Pictures, and they have also made profits overseas.
We have earned hundreds of millions at the box office... We are short of funds, but they will never be short!"
"The question is, if there is not enough investment, how to protect Paramount's interests?"
"Nonsense, of course it's the distribution rights!"
Facing the doubts of his colleagues, Tim Hardaway said without hesitation: "As long as we can get the distribution rights in North America and even Europe, our stock will rebound and we can get it from Paramount."
More loans are invested in this series! For the future of Paramount, we must give it a try..."
