“Welco, welco.” After recognizing Fang Qiu, the manager laughed excitedly and held Fang Qiu’s hand again. He brought Fang Qiu to the sofa and while preparing tea for Fang Qiu, he asked curiously, “Master Fang Qiu, what can our animation company do for you?”
Fang Qiu said with a smile, “I’m not a master. You can just call by my na.”
The director nodded imdiately and said, “Okay. You are in the Chinese dicine industry. Although our animation production has done business with the Chinese dicine industry, we’re basically making advertisent videos for large pharmaceutical companies. Are you planning to advertise?”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “I guess so. Have you heard the news about ridians recently?”
The manager nodded imdiately and said, “Of course I’ve heard the breaking news. You enhanced our country’s prestige in the West. We all cheered for you at ho!”
Fang Qiu smiled and said, “The reason why I ca to your company is that I want to show all the ridians I saw with my Insight through animation, including the acupuncture points on the ridians, as well as the practice thods for ordinary people to ditate and so on.”
The manager was shocked.
Qicheng Animation was one of the top companies in the industry. Because of the fierce competition in this industry, their competitors were not only their peers, but also so entertainnt companies who were focused on producing the special effects for film and television. Their competitors were quite aggressive , so their company had never been able to advance any further.
It wasn’t just them.
Other peer companies, as well as film and television special effects companies, were fighting for business, such as the advertisents for so famous brands, the illustration special effects production in so TV series and so on.
In this era, it was not easy to acquire a profitable business. But once they got the business, the company’s profits would be absolutely guaranteed for the next few years!
Relying on the fa of being one of the top animation companies, Qicheng had received a lot of big orders recently. But compared with Fang Qiu’s order, those orders would not be considered as a big deal!
It was not about money, but because of Fang Qiu’s idea.
What was the most popular thing at the mont?
Undoubtedly, it was Fang Qiu, Chinese dicine and ridians.
Moreover, it was Fang Qiu who ca to him personally. This was definitely a great selling point. Once this animation was made and promoted, it would definitely be popular in the entire country in a very short ti. There was even a great possibility that it would be popular abroad!
How could he miss such a good opportunity?
The manager nodded imdiately, thought for a mont and then added, “We can definitely do it. However, if we do it according to your request, the requirents for the graphics must be quite high. In this regard, we need more ti. Second, you need to communicate with the illustrators. Most importantly, the cost of this kind of first-rate animation will be very high.”
“I heard that you are still in college...” The manager paused as he said that.
Obviously, he ant that even though Fang Qiu had a great idea, the production cost would be too high. He was afraid that Fang Qiu would not be able to afford it, but at the sa ti, he did not want to lose this great opportunity, so he found it a bit problematic.
Fang Qiu asked directly, “Tell how much money it will cost and how long it will take to be completed.”
The manager replied, “Well, we need to see what kind of quality you need.”
He then walked to the desk, took the laptop from the desk and put it on the tea table. He turned it on and said, “I have so examples here. Look at these CG animations. They are divided into different levels. The price ranges from one million to ten million. The effect of each level is different.”
He clicked on the first video and said as he played, “This one cost one million. It looks simple. Of course, the effect is much better than ordinary animation. At least it has a 3D effect. It’s just that it’s less complicated in terms of color loss and various details.”
After watching the first CG, the director jumped directly to the last one and said, “Look at the Demon Seals. This is the best one. It lasts six minutes and cost 13 million and took us a whole year to complete it.”
“Of course, the reason why it took such a long ti is due to the fact that it took us a long ti to explore the path, including the model, background settings and so on.”
“If you want to do it, we don’t need to spend that much ti now. Compared with this one, it will be much simpler. However, in addition to the overall quality, our charge is related to the duration. For example, the production of Demon Seals cost two million per minute!”
With the explanations given by the manager, Fang Qiu began to compare them carefully.
In the end, Fang Qiu finally chose the most expensive one. For the sake of Chinese dicine, he would not hesitate to pay the price. “I want this one.”
Then he added, “I don’t need so many scenes and I only need one character in the cartoon model. I hope it can be completed in half a month.”
When he heard Fang Qiu’s request, the manager imdiately shook his head and said, “Impossible! Half a month is too short.”
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “I can’t afford to wait for a few months. Na a price.”
After thinking for a while, the manager said directly, “8 million!”
It seed that getting it done in half a month was possible. Otherwise, he would not have offered a price.
“The video you showed just now cost 13 million. The production price for one year is about 5 million. In fact, the production fee is 8 million. The labor cost of the CG I want is at most equivalent to the annual salary of one of your employees in your company. And it’s even simpler to make it than that video.”
Looking at the manager, Fang Qiu smiled at him. After making an analysis, he said, “I’ll give you 5 million!”
The manager imdiately shook his head and said with a smile, “I can’t do that. You’re a Chinese dicine practitioner. It’s not good for you to be calculative. But since you’ve already asked, I’ll give you a discount. 7.5 million!”
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “Being too naive won’t help revive Chinese dicine. Since you really want to do it, I can also add a little more. 5.5 million!”
The manager imdiately replied, “7.3 million!”
Fang Qiu did not want to waste his ti bargaining anymore. He said directly, “6 million. If you can’t do it, I’ll just leave.”
“You, you...” A helpless and bitter smile appeared on the manager’s face.
Now he really had no choice.
He could not let such a great opportunity slip by, but no matter how good it was, he could not accept it if it did not make money. After all, they were the best in the industry. They needed to pay so many people in such a big company.
However, the price given by Fang Qiu was neither too high nor too low.
They could make a little profit, but it was just a small sum of money, so they would not have much money left after paying the staff.
Fang Qiu asked, “Just tell whether you want to do it or not.”
The manager shook his head with a wry smile and gave Fang Qiu a thumbs-up. He said, “Master, you really deserve the title of a master. I’ll take the order!”
Fang Qiu smiled.
The manager’s eyes rolled. Then he rembered that Fang Qiu was still a college student. He imdiately asked, “Oh, by the way, 6 million is not a small sum of money. Do you have so much money? You don’t seem to be born with a silver spoon, do you?”
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, “I’m not from a rich family. But I’m a Chinese dicine doctor!”
It was only then that he rembered.
Last ti, when Fang Qiu treated the rich man, he directly earned 100 million. Although he did not charge a penny and donated all the money to charity, he was definitely not short of money, with such exceptional dical skills.
Fang Qiu asked, “When can we sign the contract?”
“Now. I’ll ask soone to print out the contract right away,” The manager responded and quickly stood up to make a call at his desk.
Soon, the secretary ca in with the contract. After reading the contract carefully, Fang Qiu signed the contract. Then, he transferred the initial 3 million to the account of the financial departnt of Qicheng Animation.
Seeing that Fang Qiu could pay 3 million without any problem, the manager was finally relieved.
The manager said, “You have to arrange a ti and see when you can have a discussion with our illustrators. After all, they don’t know what the ridians look like.”
Fang Qiu said, “Today, we can start now.”
He was pressed for ti.
He still needed to pick the Heaven Treasure in Norway!
The manager said, “I an, you can choose a ti when you’re free, like tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Of course, since you need it urgently, you can also communicate with the illustrators now.”
Fang Qiu replied, “Let’s do it now. I don’t have much ti.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange it now.” As he spoke, the manager personally brought Fang Qiu into the conference room and asked the secretary to call up the illustrators.
Soon, the secretary gathered together ten illustrators. They ca to the conference room.
They were all shocked when they saw Fang Qiu!
They were so surprised.
They wondered why Fang Qiu ca to their company.
Then, after the manager’s introduction, the ten illustrators were all interested. In addition to feeling that this was indeed a very good idea, they knew that it was a big challenge for them. They also wanted to know what the ridians hidden in the human body were like.
After the eting, Fang Qiu said, “You may be exhausted during the following days. In order to thank you for your efforts, I will give you so small gifts.”
The ten people were puzzled.
What small gift?
Fang Qiu had not brought anything with him. How could he give them a gift?
“The first ti I saw you, I knew you all have occupational health problems.”
As he spoke, Fang Qiu walked to the back of the first illustrator and said, “You all have cervical spondylosis because you draw pictures and always maintain the sa posture for so many years.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed his hands on the neck of the first man. Before the man could react, he gave a gentle press. With a slight click, the man’s cervical vertebra was directly aligned.
Then, he went to the second one, the third one...
One by one, Fang Qiu quickly cured the ten people’s cervical spondylosis problems.
After Fang Qiu was done, everyone twisted their necks gingerly and found that their cervical spondylosis had really been cured.
“Is there such a benefit?”
“I’ve spent a lot of money on my cervical spondylosis. This benefit is really aweso.”
“It would be great if all the clients were like him.”
The ten illustrators were all gratified. “It’s amazing.”
