Chapter 16 Auditions(1/2)
If it had been a few hours ago, Lu Qing would have definitely looked at the screen immediately when he heard the beeping sound coming from the computer.
But now he has given up hope.
Lu Qing had worked overtime for many years and lived an irregular life, resulting in a fat body. His chubby body was completely sunken into the seat, and he looked at the screen slightly sideways.
The moment I saw the private message on the screen.
Lu Qing suddenly jumped up from his chair and couldn't believe his eyes.
Both hands quickly typed two words on the keyboard, hello.
He didn't dare to type too long because he was afraid of losing even one second. What if he typed two more words and the other person ran away again.
Type two words first and respond.
Lu Qing continued, "I am Lu Qing, the director of Weimei Animation Production Company. I saw that your work "Spirited Away" is very suitable for our company's recent shooting needs. I hope to cooperate with you. I don't know the copyright of your work."
Whether to sell."
Lin Yu didn't expect to sign with an entertainment company so quickly. He thought of writing scripts on the website as a way to make money. Later, he signed the contract himself. He was too busy and didn't pay much attention to the website. Now he sees that an animation company is willing to buy "Thousands of People".
The copyright for "With Chihiro" is also surprising.
If the first wait was painful, the second wait can only be said to be even more painful, because the other party's reply rekindled Lu Qing's hope. If the other party said that the copyright had been sold, he would cry.
"The copyright is not sold."
When these four words came into Lu Qing's eyes, he jumped up from his stool, making fists and waving them in the air.
To avoid long nights and long dreams, Lu Qing said straightforwardly, "The maximum price we can pay for the copyright of the work for production funds is 5 million.
Lu Qing swallowed, 5 million was really not high, but it was already the highest amount their company could spend on the script. No matter how much it was, they wouldn't be able to afford it.
After all, for an excellent animation, apart from the script, there are many things that require money.
He is afraid that the other party will think that there is less money.
Lin Yu thought for a moment.
5 million, the website will deduct half of the management fee, plus tax, and you will get more than 1 million.
If we talk about the value of "Spirited Away" alone.
The price is ridiculously low.
But the market price of a work depends not only on its quality, but also on the author’s fame and popularity.
Some screenwriters have their own traffic. For works of the same quality, if a well-known screenwriter writes something that others want to read, but if an unknown screenwriter writes something, no one is willing to buy it.
Moreover, the excellent story is a large part of the reason for the success of Spirited Away, but there is also the simple style of painting and the beautiful soundtrack, which are indispensable to complement the work.
Lin Yu checked the Weimei Animation Production Company. It once created many excellent works during the glorious period of animated movies, but with the recent downturn of animated movies, there are no works.
But simply looking at the types of their previous works, "Spirited Away" suits them very well.
As time passed by, Lu Qing sat on pins and needles, staring at the screen, for fear of missing the other party's message.
"Can."
Lu Qing's eyes widened, and when he saw the word "yes" pop up, he let out a silly smile like a butcher's pig.
Fortunately, there was no one in the office, so Lu Qing couldn't care less and kept laughing until he choked on his saliva and coughed.
Lu Qing immediately picked up the phone and called the manager An Qi.
He didn't care whether An Qi had already gone to bed for her beauty treatment at this time, and finished all the words in a rapid-fire manner.
The second call was to the leader of the animation production team.
From the moment he received the word "yes", preparations for the film began.
...
Three days later.
The second-year classroom of Meibei International Kindergarten.
"Little Mango, do you also want to participate in the competition?" Yuanyuan asked sharply.
Little Mango raised her chin confidently, "Yes, my program is singing."
"Singing is so ordinary, I definitely can't be chosen." Hamburger said worriedly for Little Mango.
"Yes, Mango, don't you have any other talents? I heard that Yuanyuan plays the piano." Yuanbao said secretly, covering his mouth.
Even though his mouth was covered, the child couldn't control his voice at all, and everyone around him could hear it.
Yuanyuan straightened her back and said, "Yes, I play the piano."
As everyone knows, Yuanyuan started learning piano when she was more than three years old. Now she has passed the Amateur Level 4 exam, which is a very good result for her age group.
"Yuanbao, what are you performing?" Yuanyuan asked.
"Hehe, I'm a hip-hop dancer." Yuan Bao said while doing a hip-hop pose.
Yuanbao also started learning hip-hop when he was in elementary school. Now he has been learning it well for two years. At least he has no problem showing off at any time.
"Nini plays the guzheng."
"Every day is Allegro."
The children were all talking about their own and other people's programs.
Nowadays, parents attach great importance to cultivating their children’s interests and hobbies, and many children are versatile.
Only one child in the entire kindergarten can represent the kindergarten in the district competition, so the competition is very fierce.
Parents also help their children prepare for audition programs early.
Because her father is always busy, Little Mango has become accustomed to not telling her father about this kind of thing. If her father hadn't noticed that she seemed to have something on her mind that day, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell her father.
Little Mango's program is about singing. In everyone's eyes, as long as you have a mouth you can sing, this is not considered a specialty at all, and you will definitely fail in the fierce audition.
"My dad said that if I can be selected this time, he will buy me an electric balance scooter." Yuanbao said proudly.
"My mother said that if I can be selected, she will buy me a new phone watch." Yuanyuan said domineeringly.
Little Mango didn't say anything because she didn't make any request to her father. This was a competition she took the initiative to participate in, and it was also an opportunity she wanted to win. She never thought about asking for a gift from her father, so the little guy didn't say a word.
Seeing that Little Mango remained silent, Hamburg comforted him, "It's okay, Mango. Our focus is on participation. We only choose one child in the entire kindergarten. It's normal that he can't be chosen."
Little Mango knew that Hamburger was trying to comfort her, but she didn't think she would lose the election.
His little face puffed up, "I will definitely be chosen."
In the hearts of the friends, this sentence was said by Little Mango just for the sake of face, and it was the last struggle.
At the end of the free activity time, Chen Jiao returned to the classroom and organized the children who participated in the audition to gather in the auditorium. The other children who did not participate in the audition continued their activities in the classroom with Teacher Liu Ying.
There are eight children in Little Mango's sophomore class who want to participate in the audition.
For the children in the upper class, the number of participants in each class is almost the same, basically between seven and ten children. Although only one child is selected in the entire kindergarten, parents also want their children to give it a try.
The children in the middle class and small class are relatively young, and the number of children participating in the activities is relatively small, about three or five in each class.
According to the class order, the kindergarten simply arranged the children in the order of appearance.
As the executive principal, Xiao Qi must be the main organizer of this kind of event. There are two people sitting on her left and right, one is the major shareholder of the kindergarten and the other is the logistics director. The three of them are composed of the audition judges.
Like the previous Toddler Star, activities for young talents are equally important to every kindergarten.
It’s just that in Toddler Star, not only children compete, but parents also compete. Moreover, children’s programs can be displayed in the form of groups, so there is a lot of room for performance.
The competition for young talents is in the form of individual entries. At most, it is a small team of no more than three people. There is very little room for performance. It is just children competing for their talents.
All the children in kindergarten and middle class have finished their performances.
Xiao Qi lamented that the children were really versatile and had performed all kinds of music, playing, and singing, but because the children were too young, nothing was too amazing.
Such a performance cannot represent the kindergarten to compete for rankings in the district.
"What program is this for the freshman class?" Xiao Qi asked.
The logistics director next to him looked at the program list and said, "This is the fifth one."
Xiao Qi frowned.
Compared with the middle and small classes, the programs for children in the upper class are obviously at a higher level, but they are still far from excellent.
She takes her children to the district competition every year. She has watched other kindergarten representatives in previous years. The programs that won awards are all very novel. They are definitely not simple playing and dancing. Even playing and dancing are extremely talented.
Genius should make people shine.
She doesn't feel this way yet.
Little Mango lined up with the children.
She was speaking tough just now, saying that she would definitely be selected.
But when the little guy saw the children performing one after another on the stage, his heart was beating fast and he was very nervous.
Children, like adults, want to go to the toilet when they are nervous.
"Teacher Chen, I want to go to the toilet." Little Mango raised his hand and said.
