156 Illustrations Worth Millions 【Seeking Monthly Pass】(1/2)
Zeng Du was used to being the Party A. He was accustomed to asking the novel author to modify the outline based on market feedback and cooperate with the animation.
But Wu Jiajia knew that Sun Wu was not an ordinary Party B. This person was the author of "The Demon Hunter", and he was a little stubborn.
At the same time, as a senior editor, she is not as layman as Zeng Du.
Understand that resurrection of Fuji Qianxue is not just a matter of one sentence, but will modify the story that had been conceived in the author's mind beyond recognition.
Since Sun Wu had already written the outline of the whole book, it would be a dream to ask him to start the stove again at this time.
However, although Wu Jiajia understood this truth, she did not refuse at all, but said, "Okay, I'll communicate with Sun Wu."
After hanging up the phone of his old colleague, Wu Jiajia called a group of editor-in-chief Li Weini.
"Winni, go and ask Sun Wu, is it possible to modify the outline slightly according to the requirements of Tencent Animation? For example, resurrect the popular character Chiyuki Fuji as soon as possible."
When Li Weini heard what her boss, Editor-in-Chief Wu said, she complained wildly in her heart: "If I had just made a little modification, would you let me go to the mine?"
As he nodded quickly, he agreed and said, "Okay, I'll go and make suggestions to him now."
"We should pay attention to the way and attitude of making suggestions. We are reminding us in kindness." Wu Jiajia was afraid that Li Weini would not understand her words correctly, so she took the initiative to point her out.
Li Weini rolled her eyes while rolling her eyes. You are treating me as Wang Mengmeng!
While pledging, he promised: "Editor Wu, don't worry."
After hanging up the phone, she called her editor-in-chief Wang Mengmeng to her office, and said with a serious expression:
"Wang Mengmeng, go and ask Sun Wu, and you will say that the Tencent animation saw that Fuji Chiseki was too popular. I asked him if he could revive Fuji Chiseki, so that the "World Hunter" animation will definitely be even more popular."
After saying that, she was afraid that this girl would not be able to convey her meaning accurately, so she added.
"By the way, let's make a suggestion. If he doesn't want to, just forget it, don't say anything more."
Wang Mengmeng walked out of the editor-in-chief's office and saw that no one noticed her, she immediately grinned and thought to herself: "It turns out that the first level of officialdom was crushed to death. Sun Wu was so crazy that he would resurrect Teng Qianxue. Didn't he ask me to come to the door to find a scolding?"
She also read the complete outline of "The Demon Hunter" and knew that the most important meaning of this character was: she was dead.
After vomiting out the depression in his heart, Wang Mengmeng cleared her throat before taking out her cell phone to dial Sun Wu.
"In January, Tencent Animation wants you to resurrect Fuji Chiyuki. Of course, this is just a small suggestion from them. The main thing is that you decide yourself. My personal suggestion is..."
If it is an ordinary reader, Wang Mengmeng would suggest him to do it, but Sun Wu on the other end of the phone, she gave him advice from the perspective of a professional editor.
"Anyway, he won't change the outline, so why not take this opportunity to sell it." This is Wang Mengmeng's true thought.
And this is true. As soon as Sun Wu hung up Wang Mengmeng's phone number, he immediately called Wu Jiajia and said in a tone with a little dissatisfaction:
"Sister Wu, Teng Chiyuki will definitely not be resurrected, you know that."
Speaking of this, he deliberately paused and said in a more emphasis: "And the outline of "The Demon Hunter" is now the most perfect story in my heart. If it is modified randomly, it will definitely end up with a hasty ending."
"I understand, I'll report it to the other side now. This kind of thing must be based on the author's opinion." Wu Jiajia was really afraid that "The Demon Hunter" would be unfinished, so she agreed readily.
Zeng Du soon received a reply from Wu Jiajia. After hearing his old colleague's pros and cons on the phone, he gave up his original idea.
Zeng Du is more afraid of the unfinished novel "The Demon Hunter" than Wu Jiajia.
The company has invested so much money and invested hundreds of millions to make this anime. If the reputation of the novel plummeted due to his own tricks, he would only be afraid that he would go directly to the fish in Pujiang.
No need to throw it away, he jumps by himself.

On the other side, Sun Wu stood on the balcony and blew the wind for a while. When he returned to the study, he saw his wife abused the giant panda doll in her arms. He asked curiously: "What makes you so angry?"
Bai Jingjing pointed directly at the computer screen and said, "Tengchang Animation is so shameless. She copied my original paintings directly. I only realized now that I was plagiarized."
After saying that, she clicked the replay icon with her mouse and said, "Let's take a look. A movie that is less than 3 minutes old has plagiarized how much creativity we have!"
So far, in addition to the 27 chapters of illustrations at the beginning, Bai Jingjing basically takes time to upload several illustrations of the key plot of "The Demon Hunter" every week.
So "The Demon Hunter" now has more than 100 "official" illustrations, which is unique to you in Yuedian.
The author of a painter’s wife is so happy.
After Sun Wu carefully watched the pioneering film of "The Demon Hunter", he was first happy.
It seems that penguins are still willing to spend a lot of money.
Then he saw his wife's angry look, and suddenly remembered that his family had been futile and put it in trouble. He immediately said indignantly: "It's so unreasonable. I'll settle the score with them now."
After saying that, Sun Wu picked up his cell phone.
When Bai Jingjing saw her husband come, she thought about calming down the situation first.
He hurriedly snatched his phone from his hand and sighed: "Forget it, they have used the right place anyway. After all, they have also added popularity to your novel."
If she hadn't thought of this, she would have posted on Weibo to accuse Penguin of her crimes.
Instead of hating her teeth here, she had to vent her anger at her beloved giant panda doll.
Bai Jingjing wanted to take a step back and broaden the sky, but Sun Wu did not want to see the fruits of his wife's labor being free, so he stared into her eyes and said seriously:
"This is two different things. You just uploaded fan pictures as a reader. Whether it is me, read, or Tencent Animation, there is no right to use them without your permission."
When Bai Jingjing heard her husband's words, she thought that this was the case and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"First negotiate with them privately, and do whatever they need not negotiate," Sun Wu gave the most secure solution.
"Okay, just do that."
Bai Jingjing didn't want the fruits of her own labor to be worthless at this time, so she supported her husband's decision.

When Wu Jiajia received a call from Sun Wu, she thought he had seen Fuji Chiyuki's huge popularity on Weibo, so she changed her attention.
After listening to it, she understood why his tone was a little angry just now.
Because what Sun Wu said makes sense, and he was thinking about communicating with him in advance to solve the problem peacefully and reasonably.
Wu Jiajia didn't think it was him troublesome, but she complained about the people from Tencent Animation.
You can’t just use the paintings by someone’s wife, just use them for free without saying hello!
Don't you allow others to be an enthusiastic reader?
Although the contract clearly stipulates the copyright of "The Witch Hunter" and the right to issue peripheral derivatives, it now has nothing to do with the author Sun Wu.
But the ownership of the fan paintings of "The Demon Hunter" really belongs to someone else's wife.
Once this behavior is exposed, it will be another big scandal.
Wu Jiajia understood this truth, so she took the initiative to say, "Don't worry, I'll communicate with them now and ask them to spend money to buy these paintings from your wife."
Now, this is the best and only solution.
After appeased Sun Wu, she immediately told her old colleague Zeng Du about this situation.
"The people below you are so disrespectful. How can you use other people's creativity without saying hello? Fortunately, they know the pros and cons, so they didn't make a big deal but took the initiative to find me. Otherwise, there would be another "The "Witch Hunter" animation plagiarism" on the hot search on Weibo today."
When Zeng Du heard Wu Jiajia's words, he felt a sense of gratitude.
"Fortunately it was someone else's wife's painting, otherwise it would be really troublesome."
The three-minute pioneering film "The Demon Hunter" received a good response after it was aired, and many netizens began to spontaneously help promote it everywhere.
If a plagiarism scandal is revealed at this time, it will instantly turn from a masterpiece that everyone praises to become a plagiarism that everyone shouts and beats through the streets.
The "Witch Hunter" animation will also have stains before it is born, and it is a big stain.
This picture is so beautiful that he doesn't want to imagine it.
"Damn it, the company is not without money, so why did you make such a mess for me?"
In his heart, Zeng Du cursed the person from the animation production team of "The Witcher" first expressed his gratitude to Wu Jiajia, and then asked her to communicate with Sun Wu.
"As long as the price is reasonable, we will pack all these illustrations and buy them from his wife."
He didn't say anything threatening, and he didn't need to do it at all.
"Don't worry, you'll tell him now."

Sun Wu was not surprised when he heard Wu Jiajia's words.
For large companies like Penguin, if such a thing happens, they will definitely make things smaller. It is better to have less than more things.
"Wife, how much does it cost for someone to draw an illustration?" Sun Wu asked in a low voice to Bai Jingjing, covering his cell phone microphone.
"Six...eight thousand."
Bai Jingjing originally wanted to say 6,000, but when she thought of the illustrations and her husband's sweat, she temporarily increased by 2,000.
Hearing his wife's words, Sun Wu moved his finger away from the phone microphone and said to Wu Jiajia: "My wife said the market price is 10,000 yuan per bill."
When Wu Jiajia heard the number "10,000", she frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything.
She remembered that most of the illustrations that the company asked for people were only a few hundred, and the better ones were only a thousand.
Zeng Du couldn't help laughing when he heard Wu Jiajia say the price of "10,000 yuan".
"Sister Jia Jia, it seems that Sun Wu is really a sensible person like you said, and he also gave us an internal price."
