Chapter 243 Conditions
The next day, the Secretary of the Qingdao Municipal Party Committee led relevant members of the Qingdao leadership team to attend the meeting on animation copyright.
Jiang Weimin, as a representative, presided over the meeting.
The plan for this meeting had already been reported and reviewed by Qingdao city leaders before.
Jiang Weimin first expressed his sincere and warm welcome to the Japanese exchange group that came from afar.
Jiang Weimin then gave a very detailed report on the overseas sales of Qingdao Publishing House's three comic books.
After Jiang Weimin finished his report, he turned his attention to the Japanese exchange group.
“Gentlemen, the comics published by our Qingdao Publishing House have a very broad readership base in Asia, Europe and the United States.
The three comic works of our publishing house have won the love and pursuit of many overseas readers with their wonderful plots, exquisite pictures and profound cultural connotations.
It is no exaggeration to say that if these three comics are made into animations, they will surely set off a new wave of enthusiasm in various countries.”
At this time, a member of the Japanese exchange group interrupted and said, "President Jiang, we know all this! We want to know if you want to get the copyright fee or if you have other conditions?"
Jiang Weimin nodded slightly, "Regarding the three works "The Monkey King", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Kung Fu Panda",
Our publishing house only asks for 5%-10% of the copyright income.
However, it is important to point out that Kung Fu Panda has received very good responses around the world.
As long as it can be made into an animated film, it will surely achieve excellent results in the global film market.
Therefore, we can only authorize the first volume of Kung Fu Panda at present."
"President Jiang, your publishing house has given such good conditions, you must have other requirements!"
The staff of the Japanese animation production company looked at Qingdao Publishing House and asked in confusion because the share ratio was so low.
"Yes." Jiang Weimin nodded calmly and continued,
“As you know, for excellent comics like this, the copyright fee may normally be shared at a 30% rate.
Our publishing house has taken the initiative to reduce the share ratio in the hope that our publishing house can reach a cooperation with your animation company to jointly produce animations.
We will lower the share ratio, and you will provide the people and technology."
"President Jiang, how exactly do we cooperate?"
The share ratio offered by Qingdao Publishing House was too tempting. In Japan, a newcomer's share ratio was higher than that offered by Qingdao Publishing House. A representative couldn't wait to ask more questions.
“Our publishing house hopes that you will send an animation production team to China to produce animations. We will provide the workspace, but you will provide the equipment for producing animations.
At the same time, we must bring out our Qingdao Publishing House animation production team,
Through cooperation with you, our team has been able to learn advanced animation production techniques and produce animations independently."
As Jiang Weimin stated his conditions, representatives from the three Japanese animation production companies all frowned.
It was only then that they realized that if Chinese comic companies wanted to get involved in the animation industry, they not only needed to cooperate, but also had to have their own animation production capabilities.
"President Jiang, your conditions are beyond our expectations." A Japanese representative shook his head slightly, revealing a hint of embarrassment in his tone.
"That's why we're giving away a lot of profit. The main reason is that we have a broad readership.
As long as the animation is produced, your animation production company can earn enough profit and greatly increase its popularity. "
The people from the three animation production companies slowly looked at each other, with complex emotions revealed in their eyes.
They all knew this very well. As long as these three comics could be successfully made into animations,
With its wide readership base and exciting content, it is sure to allow the company to earn enough profit.
This is undoubtedly an attractive business opportunity.
However, their concerns are not without reason.
However, since visiting Qingdao Publishing House, the staff of the three animation production companies have gained a deeper understanding of the industrial layout of Qingdao Publishing House.
They saw the outstanding achievements and professional level of Qingdao Publishing House in comic creation, publishing and distribution.
They were deeply shocked by its complete industrial chain, efficient operation model and keen insight into the market.
In particular, Qingdao Publishing House’s plans and ambitions for future development made them realize that this publishing house is by no means satisfied with the status quo, but has even greater goals.
They clearly realized that if Qingdao Publishing House could master the ability to produce animation, it would definitely have a significant impact on the Japanese comics industry.
After all, China has a huge market and rich cultural resources. Once Qingdao Publishing House rises in the animation field,
It will surely attract global attention and compete fiercely with Japan's manga industry in the international market.
"President Jiang, we can increase the copyright share to 40%. Do you think this condition is acceptable?" The people from the Japanese animation production company still wanted to use the high copyright share to test whether Qingdao Publishing House could give up the idea of forming an animation production team.
But Jiang Weimin refused without a second thought: "Developing our own animation production is the basis of this cooperation.
If you cannot meet our requirements, you can also refuse.
You must have come here after an exchange program in Shanghai. Actually, our country can also produce animations by itself.
There may be a gap between us in terms of efficiency and use of advanced equipment.
If we cannot reach a cooperation this time, we can actually develop and explore slowly on our own, but it may take a little longer!
However, our Qingdao Publishing House has always been benchmarking against international comic companies, and we want to develop rapidly, so we want to rely on your strength.
We believe that through cooperation between the two sides, we will be able to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results." Jiang Weimin said firmly and forcefully.
At this moment, the members of the Japanese exchange group also understood that Qingdao Publishing House’s decision to set up its own animation production team was impossible to change.
And China does have its own animation production capabilities.
"President Jiang, your request is beyond our authority to respond! We need to discuss it with the country."
Jiang Weimin also knew that it was impossible to settle the matter at the first meeting, so he turned to look at the leaders of Qingdao City, and after receiving a positive response, Jiang Weimin said
"Okay, in 5 days, we will organize a bidding activity. Under the premise of ensuring that China has the ability to produce animation,
We will choose to cooperate with the animation production company that can give us the greatest profit.”
