I have a lot of achievements

Chapter 316 Copyright Issues
Yixin was the editor in charge of Meng Fan. Even the unsigned work "School Love Refers to Boys" was under his group. Needless to say, he knew Meng Fan's painting skills and style very well, and of course also It's very strange, indeed, the difference in drawing skills before and after Meng Fan's two-step manga series is still noticeable, but the more the drawing, the better, no matter how strange you are, you can't question it face-to-face.

What's the use of questioning, if you don't allow others to make progress, it's just that you have made too much progress.

The deputy editor-in-chief and others have also read Meng Fan's cartoons, and they understand Meng Fan's drawing skills. From this, when they unfold the drawing and read the comics, although they still feel the beauty of the world, it is not like Takahashi Goro and others saw it for the first time. Surprised.

However, after looking at the plot and character design after the painting skills and style, the eyes of these people lit up again.

The content of the three episodes is definitely not much, but I also saw Meng Fan's ability in screenwriting and storyboarding.

After watching it, my first thought was why it was gone. This is the desire to continue watching.

Thinking back again, some pictures can already emerge in my mind, and some seem to be difficult to erase from my mind, deeply imprinted and deeply remembered.

Not to mention the tip of the iceberg of the world background structure exposed in the short space, these two points alone are still enough to be called a good comic.

Looking at the outline and gallery, it can be seen how exaggerated Meng Fan's preparations for this comic are.

Yixin, the deputy editor-in-chief and the others turned their eyes away from the sketch and looked at Meng Fan, before getting to the point.

The deputy editor-in-chief, surnamed Zhu, is not very old, about forty years old, he looked like a very serious person, and said: "Mr. Meng, please allow me to ask you a question first. The fighting incident that happened in Neon yesterday, many Everyone knows you are in it, including those neon people, what does Kodansha think about this?"

Before Meng Fan could answer, he added another sentence: "I didn't mean anything else. This involves whether you can successfully sign a contract with Kodansha, and whether the manga can be serialized in the magazines published by Kodansha. And this, It is also related to the contract between us. Whether you sign or not, it must have an impact on our contract, are you right?"

Meng Fan smiled and said, "That's right. Before us, Kodansha had already contacted me. Of course, I didn't mention the fighting incident, so it didn't affect it at all. However, if the incident follows the current If there are no accidents in the development of the company, there is no problem in signing the contract.

After taking a sip of water, Meng Fan was about to take the initiative in his own hands and said, "When I was at Neon, I was actually able to sign a contract with Kodansha. This is not a direct signing, leaving some room for domestic websites to raise requirements and conditions. If it can lead to a win-win situation, or even a win-win situation, that is naturally the best.

On the other hand, I can completely authorize the copyright in Neon to Kodansha, and the copyright in China to you. In fact, the two have little relationship.The only possible overlap is the copyright ownership of the animation. Of course, I can keep this in my own hands first, and when the conditions are ripe, I will find a team by myself, or I will cooperate with you and Kodansha for production. "

Meng Fan took out the very simple content of the contract that he had already listed, and said to Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhu: "I will give you the copyright of serials on the Internet and manga in China, the publication of booklets, the copyright of fan creation, and audio, and the rest Copyright, such as the right to adapt film and television dramas, I want to retain. As for copyrights such as games and animation, I am very happy to cooperate with Penguin Animation Network."

Hearing this, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, you can authorize all other copyrights to us. After all, we can find much larger resources than you, and we can also find better copyrights for you." Buyers, from a profit point of view, we are the best choice."

Meng Fan shook his head with a smile: "It is true from the perspective of interests, but the perspective of interests is not the first perspective on my side."

Meng Fan didn't say that he didn't care about money at all.

"I also want to make money, but I don't want my work to be an existence that can be done after a wave of money, so I really care about whether I can be the master. Of course, my vision may not be good in the end, but how to say Well, it’s always more comfortable to destroy it in your own hands. As for the resources you mentioned, I can actually find them too, but it’s not as convenient as your big companies.”

All authors attach great importance to copyright, especially when they have the confidence to negotiate, they naturally want to keep more copyright on themselves, and the benefits are really secondary, not just players like Meng Fan and Master Kun who have mines at home Think so, most of the authors think so too, at least they think so in their bones, but sometimes it’s just not realistic, and few people want their works to be taken out for some money Change it.

Of course, negotiations are like this. In the beginning, they must be haggling over every penny and don’t want to lose every city and pool. It’s also to leave room for bargaining and compromise.

When it came to the end, Meng Fan insisted on his bottom line, signed a cooperation contract with Penguin Animation Network similar to Kodansha, and authorized several copyrights, such as animation peripherals and novel adaptation copyrights, such as film and television adaptations And games, Meng Fan must be firmly in his hands.

As for the animation, although it is still in Meng Fan's hands for the time being, Meng Fan promises to wait for someone from Kodansha to discuss it.

The contract was also initially drafted, but neither party signed it.

Meng Fan contacted Goro Takahashi for an explanation. Goro Takahashi called again soon after hanging up the phone. Kodansha would send him and related personnel to China tomorrow.

When Yixin and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhu heard this, they didn't intend to go back. They stayed here and waited for the people from Kodansha to come over. If everything went well, they would sign the contract directly.

Meng Fan picked up a car for them to take them to the hotel, and the Pingtou brother who was still here heard that he drove here, and helped Meng Fan take Yixin and the others to the hotel.

Qin Gentiana also came in a car, but if her car was to take them back, it would definitely be crowded, not as spacious as the Land Rover driven by Brother Pingtou.

"Is it so profitable to write novels now?"

Last time, Meng Fan saw Brother Pingtou’s mount was a little donkey. Brother Pingtou said that he had a car, but it was more convenient to drive a small electric donkey during the day to deliver coffee and milk tea. At night, he drove to pick up Yan Xixi. A more than one million Land Rover.

Zhang Zhouzhou enviously said: "I don't know if writing novels will make money or not, but I know Brother Pingtou is a second-generation demolition man. It is said that getting rich overnight is like a dream, and the chances of it are very low, but it is really not a dream in Huaxia. And there are quite a few. The demolition households in places like Hangzhou can be divided into tens of thousands. If the location is better, there will definitely be more."

Seeing that Meng Fan also showed a hint of envy, Zhang Zhou stopped immediately: "You envy me!"

Meng Fan said, "I'm not envious of the demolition, but I'm wondering if I have to buy a car."

Around Zhang teased, "What kind of car do you buy, and where do you want to go, just run."

"Brother Meng, you're back!"

Meng Fan was about to turn around and go back into the studio, and it was indeed a bit cold outside, when a person came hurriedly from the other side of the road, it was Charlie.

Meng Fan guessed that Charlie was parking nearby, and asked with a smile, "Director Zha, why are you going to the studio so late?"

"It's great that you're here!"

Charlie quickened his pace, came to Meng Fan, and asked, "Are you busy now? There is a temporary cooperation list from the studio, and it is still related to Director Di. I have already left work and rushed over. A Movies, DreamWorks animation films, Mandarin dubbing, our studio has been assigned some work. If you are not busy, come and see with me."

Meng Fan thought about it for a while, and the next thing is really fine. It will take some time for Wu Tong to finish his work. In addition, after signing a contract with the chocolate factory and filling up the [Shed Worm], he basically didn't go there. I also feel a little guilty. He nodded and said, "Then you go first, and I'll come later."

Of course, I like dubbing is the key point.

"well."

Charlie rubbed his hands, and Zhang Zhou, who was standing outside the courtyard to deliver people, greeted others with a smile, and hurried to the chocolate factory. It was getting colder and colder this day.
