Chapter 648: Why is this person so shameless? (First!)

The wind in July is very warm.
Lu Yuan looked at the group of tourists lying in the sun or playing beach volleyball on the Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles.
There was a look of yearning on his face.
Once upon a time, I would dream of coming to play volleyball on a beach like this, sunbathing on the beach, and by the way, carefully appreciate some of different shapes and sizes of various colors with a very simple gaze...
However, this yearning only lasted for a while, and he continued to look back at the big ship.
He was relieved.
call!
It's finally over!
"The Pianist on the Sea" has been filmed for so long, and now it has finally reached the end stage. If there is no accident, the "Pianist on the Sea" can be played on the 15th of next month, right?
very good.
Lu Yuan nodded.
He was a little tired during this time.
He thought he would take a good rest after the filming of "The Pianist on the Sea" was finished.
After walking across the beach and getting in the car that Forex Club arranged to return to the company, Lu Yuan received a call.
The call was from Wang Jinxue.
"Huh? Kimura? Who is Kimura?"
"R's "Weekly Youth" person in charge?"
"What is he looking for me for?"
Lu Yuan was at a loss.
Lu Yuan knows the magazine "Weekly Youth".
This is a very well-known comic magazine in R, and many popular animes such as "Hell Girl", "Nightmare High School", "Robot from the Future" and so on have appeared.
"Naruto" and "Reaper" under my company are serialized in this animation company.
but……
What did he do to find me?
After half an hour, Lu Yuan got out of the car.
When he walked down, he saw an old man wearing a beret sitting solemnly on a stone bench outside the company, looking at a palm tree outside the company, while standing next to a young man wearing glasses and translator.
When the old man saw Lu Yuan, the old man stood up excitedly and greeted him, his calm eyes instantly turned into indescribable excitement.
"Lu Jun, hello!"
"Hello, you should be Mr. Kimura, right"
"Jun Lu, I have admired you for a long time. I didn't expect you to be much younger than I thought. It's incredible, it's incredible!" Kimura held Lu Yuan's arm and refused to let it go for a long time, with a hint of his voice. The vibrato is like a fan seeing an idol.
"Mr. Kimura, let's go in and talk." Lu Yuan smiled, but his expression gradually became a little awkward.
Admire...
This……
The feeling of being admired by such a withered old man is really...
strange!
"it is good!"
Kimura nodded, then let go of his hand and walked into the company with Lu Yuan.
………………………………
"Lu Jun, I want the animation copyrights of these two comics...I am willing to spend 30 million yuan to buy the animation copyrights of these two comics..."
"Mr. Kimura, you mean, are you sure you want to spend 60 million yuan to buy the animation copyrights of these two comics?"
"Yes! Lu Jun!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kimura, I have given you the authorization for these two manga comics, but I can't give you the copyright of this anime. I can only authorize the adaptation of the animation..."
"Authorized adaptation?"
"Yes, the adaptation is authorized..."
After a while of flattering, Lu Yuan finally knew what Kimura was coming from.
He wants the copyright of his animation.
Yes!
It is copyright, not an authorized adaptation.
Lu Yuan learned from Kimura’s information that there is an animation company named "JG" behind Kimura’s "Weekly Shonen".
Many famous animations come from this "JG" animation company.
but……
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.
Kimura looks like an honest person, but he is actually very sophisticated.
When he said that he had bought 30 million copies of the anime copyrights for these two comics, his expression was very excited, showing the appearance of bleeding...
Neither his expression nor his voice revealed the expression that Lu Yuan had earned.
In fact, if it was a year ago, Lu Yuan would definitely be excited when he saw such a large number, but now...
Lu Yuan had no idea.
Although sixty million is not a small number.
but……
What does it mean to buy the copyright of animation for 60 million yuan? It’s 60 million yuan. Buying all the animation copyrights of these two comics means that after these 60 million yuan, no matter how popular or awesome the animations of these two comics are, it has nothing to do with you. .
If Lu Yuan is not a traveler, perhaps the price is really good.
but……
Lu Yuan is a traveler.
How popular were "Reaper" and "Naruto" in the original world?
Would Lu Yuan not know?
Even if this world is somewhat different from the original world, Lu Yuan would not sell it.
In a very speechless sentence, it is impossible to sell the copyright of anime for 60 million dollars!
"Lu Jun, although the market survey sales of these two animations are very good at present, there are too many good comics in R, and now it is the recession of anime, like "Hell Girl" in R books. Marvel Animation is no longer possible..." Kimura looked at Lu Yuan.
In fact, he was a little puzzled.
30 million anime licenses.
This is almost the same as some of the first-line animations of the R book!
"Sorry, Mr. Kimura, if I talk about copyright, it is impossible to sell my copyright." Lu Yuan shook his head, his expression becoming very firm.
"Then, what Lu Jun meant..."
"Authorization, yes, it is authorization. I am willing to authorize the adaptation of these two animations to you... Of course, the price of the two animations is too low for 60 million. This does not meet my psychological price. I hope to get it. Anime is divided into 20%..."
"Lu Jun, you are... a bit fierce, this... I can't accept this." When Kimura heard this, he kept shaking his head.
What a joke!
This treatment.
Isn't it the same treatment as Tezuka Osamu?
Even if "Reaper" and "Naruto" are currently very popular, aren't they?
Moreover, the animation of R books in the past two years has indeed entered a slightly sluggish stage, because after a large loss of a large amount of money in the first two years of "Children of the Sea", "JG" has very limited funds in all aspects. It may be another risky risk.
In case you lose again.
The "JG" company might really be entering a difficult period of winter.
"Mr. Kimura, that's a shame." Lu Yuan laughed.
"Yes, some regrets." Kimura also stood up and expressed regret. "Lu Jun, although the animation adaptation has not been discussed, we in "Weekly Shonen" still hope to continue to cooperate with Lu Jun on the comics. We plan to promote it. , And promote your two comics, Lu Jun, this is our next promotion plan, Lu Jun, I hope you can take a look..."
"Oh?"
In the meeting room.
Kimura felt a little disappointed when he saw that he couldn't talk about the copyright of anime, but he was disappointed. The work should be done.
Immediately afterwards, he handed a thick propaganda plan to Lu Yuan. When Lu Yuan took over the plan, he saw that the plan was divided into two parts, one part was all in R, and the other part It's Chinese.
Lu Yuan didn't have any comments after reading the plan carefully.
R is not familiar with this place, and Lu Yuan feels relieved when it comes to publicity.
After seeing Lu Yuan nodding in agreement, a smile appeared on Kimura's face.
In fact, it would be fine to talk about these things on the phone, but Kimura still felt that he had to maintain a certain degree of sincerity.
After all, in Kimura’s eyes, business talks are business talks. Even if the two parties are dissatisfied with each other, they are both just business, but once the talks are completed, such as the comics in his hand, he will not be unhappy because of some unpleasantness. Deliberately do some small actions, after all, this is character!
After the two talked about these things, when Kimura did not leave, he then chatted with Lu Yuan about a lot of music, which was mixed with praise and admiration for Lu Yuan's several songs.
Lu Yuan suddenly discovered that the little old man Kimura had a terrifying knowledge of music. After talking about it, Kimura was basically talking, and Lu Yuan was listening...
Even terms such as postmodern classicism that Lu Yuan could not understand were uttered by Kimura.
Lu Yuan listened to Kimura's chattering, and then subconsciously checked the time.
He found that it was already six o'clock in the evening.
Lu Yuan watched Wang Jinxue walk over to him to make a look at dinner.
Tomorrow Wang Jinxue will return to China. Tonight, Lu Yuan planned to have a steak with Wang Jinxue and enjoy the time between them.
But looking at Kimura, he didn't look like an eyeball.
Finally looking at Kimura, he couldn't help but interrupted Kimura.
"Mr. Kimura... it's dinner time. If it is not recommended, why not have dinner together? But, Mr. Kimura, you should be busy too, if you are busy, forget it..." Lu Yuan hinted Kimura...
"Ah? That's great... not busy, not busy, it's my luck to be able to talk with Mr. Lu Yuan more, I know there is a steak here that is delicious, Mr. Lu Yuan, or let's go eat steak together Right..."
"..." Lu Yuan saw the old man's more excited expression.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Special!
He is just polite!
The polite words of Chinese traditionalism.
Don't you know what politeness is?
It's just a polite invitation. Are you serious?
Can't you be more conscious?
"Okay, Mr. Kimura..." Lu Yuan suffocated.
This person...
Are you here to make a meal?
This person...
Why is it shameless than me?
"Ok!"
………………………………
The steak is not very happy.
After sitting down, there was an unhappy atmosphere everywhere.
At least, both Lu Yuan and Wang Jinxue felt that Kimura's light bulb was too bright.
The voice of "The Wedding in a Dream" came from the cafe.
When the old man Kimura heard this sound, he was very excited.
then……
Wang Jinxue watched the old man chattering about piano art with Lu Yuan endlessly.
of course……
Basically, Kimura was talking and Lu Yuan was listening.
She noticed Lu Yuan's expression.
Lu Yuan was also speechless.
at last……
After eating for about ten minutes.
"Lu Yuan, don't you wait for a very important meeting? Now it seems too late!"
"Huh? It seems to be..."
"Hurry up..."
"it is good."
Lu Yuan subconsciously checked the time, and then ate the steak on the plate thoroughly.
After eating, he glanced at Kimura apologetically.
"Mr. Kimura, I'm sorry, but I suddenly remembered that there was a very important meeting."
"Ah, Jun Lu, is this meeting related to comics? I heard that you also have a comics company in the United States..." Kimura's eyes lit up.
"No, it doesn't matter... it's something inside the company, Mr. Kimura, I'm going to accompany him temporarily..." Lu Yuan was a little speechless when he saw Kimura's eyes lit up.
"Okay, it doesn't matter." Kimura nodded regretfully, then watched Lu Yuan and Wang Jinxue turn away with a smile.
Looking at their backs.
He felt sorry again.
After about half an hour...
Kimura stood at the door of the cafe.
Then he looked at the three-hundred dollar bill blankly.
He suddenly!
He suddenly understood.
like……
Did you appear out of season?
………………………………
"Jinxue..."
"what happened?"
"You said, is it very profitable to be an animation company?"
"In the past two years, the R animation has indeed been sluggish, but as long as you don't play big games, you can still make money. Wait, Lu Yuan, what do you want to do?"
"No... nothing, just ask, how much do you know about animation companies?"
"Well, I know a little bit, but not much..."
"Oh, then talk about it?"
"Which one do you want to know?"
"Ok?"
Lu Yuan and Wang Jinxue were walking on the small road by the river.
A strange thought suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan's mind.
Then...
When he saw Wang Zhenxue quietly talked to Lu Yuan about the current situation and situation of R's animation, Lu Yuan was a little confused.
amount……
Is this not much?
"Catch the thief!"
"Catch the thief!"
"Don't run, catch the thief!"
Just at this time……
Lu Yuan heard a girl shouting from behind...
Lu Yuan looked at the back subconsciously.
Then, he saw a dark shadow flashing in front of him.
Lu Yuan just wanted to give play to his heroic spirit of justice.
but……
"Boom!"
Wang Jinxue, who had been talking to Lu Yuan about the status quo of R Ben very seriously, suddenly narrowed her eyes, and turned around fiercely almost reflexively...
Afterwards!
Lu Yuan saw a scene that he will never forget.
he……
shocked.
