Another World Under My Pen

Street corner, coffee shop.

Looking at his younger brother who was enjoying coffee, Sun Ya's cheeks twitched, and finally resisted the anger in her heart: "Xiao Peng, I'm just your agent, not your employee... Register a company Find someone to do this kind of thing yourself!"

"Sister, don't say that!"

Putting down the cup in his hand, Sun Peng smiled hippiely: "Your brother doesn’t get out of the door on weekdays. How can you understand how to register a company? You can help... By the way, I plan to hire you to do a new job. The company’s legal adviser, if you are interested, the general manager can also!"

"Go and go, don't be silly!"

After taking a look at Sun Peng, Sun Ya said angrily: "What general manager is I, a lawyer? And what you want to do is animation, I don't understand..."

Although there was still no good words, Sun Ya's attitude was obviously softened.

Sun Jing didn't say much about the fact that her younger brother wanted to set up an animation company after taking a closer look. Anyway, he made it himself with his own money, and he was so grown-up. There is no reason to interfere when he is a sister. But what made Sun Ya depressed was that this kid didn't understand anything, and he was going to put everything on her head when he came up, and he couldn't help being cruel if he really wanted to refuse...

After sighing, Sun Ya said helplessly: "Xiaopeng, the tens of millions is your own money. How to spend it is your own business, but you never think that a so-called technical director can support it. The whole company, right? That's the technology, not the company... And don't let me be the general manager, I don't have that ability! What you need is a professional who can help you manage an animation company People! For example, for things like registering a company, if you find a manager in advance, do you still need me to go?"

"Uh……"

Sun Peng also had a headache after sucking his teeth.

Knowing his own affairs, Sun Peng knew very well that he was not a manager. In his previous life, he was always in trouble when he was a hospital president, let alone managed a company well. Moreover, Hou Qingqing himself stated clearly that it is okay to manage an animation production team. If it really involves the company's operations, personnel management, and even future animation promotion, she will also have a black eye.

After thinking for a while, Sun Peng asked humbly: "Sister, what do you think I should do?"

"Find a headhunter!"

After hesitating for a while, Sun Ya shook her head and said: "The domestic animation industry is now slowly growing, and there should be many outstanding talents. And now you have money and reputation, as long as you can give up a high salary and take out some shares, I It shouldn’t be a big problem to find a good manager!"

"Ah? You still have to give shares? Can't I give a higher salary?"

Staring, Sun Peng was a little reluctant.

Sun Peng is willing to give shares to people like Hou Qingqing, because he thinks people with skills are awesome, but give shares to future company managers... Manager Xiaobai, who has never been an official, is not happy. In his opinion, there is nothing for you to do animation, it is to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the company, and what kind of bicycle is needed!

"How fresh, who won't give the shares?"

With a glance at his younger brother, Sun Ya said angrily: “Don’t forget that your company has not yet been registered. A new company can attract excellent managers only by salary? Don’t stare at you... You think it’s easy to be a manager. Huh? Take your shell animation company as an example. People must be able to help you set up a company team, manage them well, understand the various processes of animation planning, production, and publicity, and understand all aspects of personnel, finance, etc. , And even need to understand the current situation of the domestic animation industry, national support policies, etc., ordinary people can come here? You still can't bear a share of this kind of talent?"

"Uh...this is also true."

After pondering for a while, Sun Peng must also admit that he was thinking too simple.

However, Sun Peng still felt a pain when he thought of giving shares to others, and he sighed: "Well, sister, you can help me find a headhunting company..."

"Stupid, you are looking for our brother-in-law!"

Rolling his eyes, Sun Ya sighed, "I'll tell you again, I'm just a lawyer, and I'm your agent. How much do you think I know better than you in this respect? Of course this kind of thing is going. Looking for brother-in-law, he deals with headhunting companies every day...Oh, the editor has finished reading it!"

While reminding his brother in a low voice, Sun Ya smiled and stood up.

Of course, she is not interested in drinking coffee with her younger brother. Today, I came here to make an appointment-Feng Jiating, editor of Sunflower Publishing House, a 36-year-old female editor.

For the past hour, the editor Feng has been reading the picture book "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe".

When I walked over, I greeted Sun Ya first, and then handed the bag full of picture books to Sun Peng. Feng Guiting smiled respectfully and reservedly: "Teacher Sun, your picture book... is very exciting. I really had the time to watch it just now. Forget it, sorry!"

It is Sun Peng who respects this person and his works, and he holds his own identity.

When Sun Ya contacted Sunflower Publishing House, he did not hide it, and even directly pointed out the identity of his younger brother "famous writer". After all, it is a children's book publishing house, I don't know that martial arts novels are also normal. Thanks to her explanation in advance, Sunflower Publishing House paid enough attention for the first time and sent Feng Guiting, an editorial staff member, to meet outside the publishing house. This was a kind of respect. .

Feng Guiting deliberately bought the physical books of Shooting Eagle, Xiaoao, and Shendiao. Although she really didn't like it after reading it, it did not prevent her from understanding the other party's weight through the text and sales results of the novel. She knew it was indeed. A new writer on the rise!

But on the other hand, publishers also have their own concerns.

Although Sun Peng’s books are selling very well now, they are all adult books after all. Sun Peng is a pure children’s book publishing house. Therefore, before Sun Peng has not proved himself in this field, Feng Guiting’s attitude towards him is just that. Appropriate respect, but also have your own reservations.

but……

Feng Guiting couldn't help sighing when thinking of the whole set of picture books she had just read fascinated.

Although I was a little optimistic about Mr. Sun before coming here, after all, the difference between the adult books and the children’s picture books is so big that it has nothing to do with the writing skills, so Feng Guiting read a few martial arts books. After the novel, it is hard to imagine that their authors can create picture books that children like.

But at first, Feng Guiting, who came to see Sun Peng with the thought of knowing more of a great author, had to admit after watching "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe": There is really a genius in this world!

How long have you not seen a set of picture books that fascinated her?

So after reading the picture book, Feng Guiting was surprised that more than an hour had passed, and Feng Guiting immediately gave her own judgment: this set of picture books must be taken as soon as possible. After all, she is now a well-known writer, and if there is a delay, there may be more dreams...

Since everyone had already exchanged greetings when they first met, Sun Peng was not polite after taking his seat, and directly asked: "Editor Feng, you have read the entire set of picture books. Are you interested?"

"Of course! I am very interested!"

Taking a deep breath, Feng Guiting's answer was categorical, and then immediately continued: "Mr. Sun, today is Saturday, and I will submit an application for the topic as soon as I go to work next Monday. I wonder if there are no accidents. You or your manager’s lady go to our publishing house? In addition, if it is convenient, can I bring the manuscript back to the agency? This will allow the editor-in-chief to read it first, and it will be more efficient when we come back to talk."

"Haha, no problem!"

Looking at the second sister, a smile appeared on Sun Peng's face: "But I have a question that I want to ask first, if this set of picture books is published in your agency, when will it be published? How much is the royalties? How much is it printed?"

Feng Guiting hesitated for a moment, and said frankly: "Your manuscript is of very high quality. I think it will be fine to publish directly without modification. It should be very fast! As for the royalties and the number of first prints of our publishing house... to be honest, both are There are strict regulations. Depending on the quality of the picture book, the royalties of new authors are between eight and ten points, and the first print is between 3,000 and 10,000..."

"But, Sun Peng is not a newcomer, in fact, he is already very famous!"

With her eyes narrowed slightly, Sun Ya said with a smile.

"Yes, but that's not in the field of children's books."

With the same smile, Feng Guiting said neither humble nor arrogant: “Although Mr. Sun’s novel is very successful, this is his first set of books in the field of children’s picture books... Of course, we can talk about the specific figures and everything can be discussed. ."

After pondering for a moment, Sun Peng laughed and said, "It's okay, let's go back and talk about these things slowly! Editor Feng, I have a watermarked drawing here, you can take it back and see it."

After speaking, Sun Peng took out another big bag from his bag.

I just showed the final version, but if you want to take it back, you can only give the watermarked version. This is a common method used by authors to protect their copyrights. Feng Guiting naturally didn't care, smiled and nodded and accepted it.

Because today is just a preliminary judgment on the quality of picture books, and at the same time getting to know each other, so after chatting for a while, Feng Guiting intends to leave. But before leaving, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Sun, I think the story of the picture book happened in the UK, why do you want to create a picture book story abroad?"

"Well, there are two main reasons."

With a faint smile, Sun Peng said without blushing or breathing: "One is that the style of the story is more westernized. It would not be very suitable if it is placed in China; otherwise, I also want to try this set of picture books. See if you can develop overseas...Haha, thinking too much makes you laugh!"

"Where, you are so kind!"

When Sun Peng said this, Feng Guiting’s expression became serious: "Teacher Sun, I don’t think there is a problem with your idea, because I have a feeling after reading just now that the style of this set of books is probably more suitable for Europe and the United States. Maybe in the future you can really try to push it out..."
