-13- Conditions
By this point, Zhao Jinghuan was certain that "Doramu Star Diary" was a comic book autobiography written by Dorashi about himself. Zhao Jinghuan lamented the tongue-twisting nature of the phrase and the platform's push notification system, which resembled a creepy ex-boyfriend. She considered sharing this crucial discovery with the studio staff, but was afraid that the three-headed dog of Hell might offend Lu Kai and the others (mainly Tomato), and over WeChat, it would be difficult to quickly resolve any misunderstandings. So she held it in all night, until 10:30 the next morning, when everyone in the studio had arrived, when she projected her momentous discovery onto the living room TV and showed it to Lu Kai and the others. Perhaps fearing they wouldn't be able to grasp Dorashi's true feelings in such a rush, Zhao Jinghuan started from the first page, inviting them to slowly immerse themselves in "Doramu's fantastical world" with her. However, after only two pages, several people pulled out their phones and began searching and rapidly scanning the pages. Soon she heard Lu Kai chuckling, "Lord Wanfeng." Tomato was not as furious as Zhao Jinghuan had imagined. He just muttered, "Nonsense, I was only 150 pounds when I was at HEC." Sister Zou stretched her neck to look at him, "But you're only 174." Tomato triggered his defense mechanism: "175! Rounded up, that's 180!" Lu Kai looked at the two of them with a little confusion. He obviously didn't understand why they suddenly talked about height and weight. He lowered his head and flipped through the comics, and realized belatedly: "Ah, the three of us are this dog." Zhao Jinghuan quickly exited and re-entered, allowing the picture projected on the TV to catch up with their progress. "Don't worry about that for now, just read on." In the later plot, Doraemon becomes partners with the Evening Breeze and the three-headed dog. They leave the tavern and use the three-headed dog's flame and Lord Evening Breeze's feathers to improve the fur ball, finally embarking on a journey to replace the sun with a fur ball. After that, they encounter black-hearted middlemen, a hypocritical king who forbids others from using colors, and other strange NPCs. The three-headed dog, who is inseparable from the journey, always fights. The gentle Lord Evening Breeze is always too considerate of others' feelings. Doraemon still says incomprehensible words when he is nervous... Sister Zou put down her phone: "Baoer, what exactly do you want to say by letting us watch this?" Zhao Jinghuan said: "Sister Zou, you said yesterday that you were not sure whether Doraemon considered you friends. I think her answer is here." She flipped the picture projected on the screen back - at the end of this episode, the fat dog head asked Doraemon, why don't we...
After reading this, Zhao Jinghuan was able to confirm that "Doraemon Diary" was a comic version of Dorasi's autobiography written about Dorasi himself.
Zhao Jinghuan lamented the difficulty of this sentence and the platform software's push mechanism, which was like a scary ex-boyfriend. She wanted to tell the people in the studio about this important discovery, but she was afraid that the setting of the three-headed hellhound would offend Lu Kai and the others (mainly Tomato), and it would be difficult to clear up the misunderstanding in time through WeChat.
So she held it in all night, until 10:30 the next morning, when everyone in the studio arrived, she projected this important discovery onto the TV in the living room and showed it to Lu Kai and the others.
Perhaps because he was afraid that the few people would not be able to feel Doraemon's true feelings in such a hurry, Zhao Jinghuan deliberately started from the first page and asked everyone to slowly immerse themselves in "Doraemon's Fantasy World" with him. However, after turning only two pages, the few people took out their mobile phones to search and "scan" quickly.
Soon she heard Lu Kai chuckle, "Here comes Master Wanfeng."
Tomato didn't get as furious as Zhao Jinghuan had imagined. He just muttered, "Nonsense! I only weighed 150 pounds when I was in HEC."
Sister Zou stretched her neck to look at him: "But you are only 174cm."
Tomato's defense mechanism was triggered: "175! Round it up and it's 180!"
Lu Kai looked at the two of them with a bit of confusion, obviously not understanding why they suddenly talked about height and weight. He lowered his head and flipped through the comics, then realized belatedly:
"Ah, the three of us are this dog."
Zhao Jinghuan quickly logged out and back in again, allowing the image projected on the TV to catch up with their progress.
"Don't worry about that for now, just look down."
Later in the story, Dorame becomes partners with Evening Breeze and the three-headed dog. They leave the tavern and use the three-headed dog's flame and Lord Evening Breeze's feathers to improve the fur ball, finally embarking on a journey to replace the sun with a fur ball. They then encounter a black-hearted middleman, a hypocritical king who forbids others from using colors, and other bizarre NPCs. The three-headed dog, inseparable from their journey, is always fighting, the gentle Lord Evening Breeze is always overly considerate of others' feelings, and Dorame still speaks incomprehensible words when nervous...
Sister Zou put down her phone: "Bao'er, what exactly do you want to say by letting us watch this?"
Zhao Jinghuan said, "Sister Zou, you said yesterday that you weren't sure if Dorasi considered you friends. I think her answer is here."
She flipped the picture projected on the screen backwards. At the end of this episode, the fat dog head asked Doraemon why they couldn't quarrel or separate. The pink little devil knocked on her dog head and said, "Because that's what partners are like."
The people in the room looked at the comics on the screen and remained silent for a long time. Finally, the usually silent Wanfeng stood up and said, "How about... let's have a good talk with Dorasi."
Zhao Jinghuan nodded quickly. "Although I don't know Dorasi, since she treats you as a friend and a partner, there's nothing we can't talk about. Let's talk to her properly. I think she'll stay."
Tomato uttered a disdainful "Tsk." Lu Kai and Sister Zou exchanged a glance, but remained silent.
Their reaction was so different from what Zhao Jinghuan had expected that she couldn't help asking Sister Zou what was wrong. Sister Zou didn't answer, but just turned her head to look at Lu Kai.
Lu Kai stood up, seemingly deliberately avoiding looking at Sister Zou: "Yes, from the company's perspective, we must keep Dorasi."
Sister Zou suddenly spoke up: "Keeping Dorasi is good for the company, but is it also good for Dorasi?"
Zhao Jinghuan was stunned, as if he had never thought about this question before.
Lu Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Of course." Then he asked Wanfeng to call Dorasi and ask her to come to the company to meet and have a good chat.
After that, everyone waited in the studio with heavy hearts. In the middle of the time, Wanfeng asked everyone if they wanted to order lunch, but no one answered.
After waiting for over an hour, the sound of Dorasi hopping up the stairs finally rang out in the corridor. A moment later, she pushed the door open and walked in. The advantage of her youth was evident at this moment. Dorasi, climbing all the way up, or rather, jumping all the way to the sixth floor, was still full of energy. She didn't seem to think about why Lu Kai had suddenly called her over. After entering the room, she asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Turning her head, she saw Zhao Jinghuan was there too. Her ears immediately blushed and she changed the topic: "People of Doram, I have responded to your call. I am wearing dancing shoes wrapped in colorful sunlight and climbing onto the trunk of the God's Grip. My light..." When she said this, she saw that the comics she had secretly drawn were actually projected onto the TV in the studio.
Dorasi cried out, "Ah!" The redness on her ears instantly spread across her face. She frantically threw herself on the TV, blocking the screen with her thin body. "Ignorant... ignorant humans, what you stole wasn't knowledge, but the forbidden Heavenly Fire. Even though you are my recognized subjects, the Lord God's wrath is no frivolous joke. The thunder left over from the past is enough to make you... make you..."
Sister Zou walked over and turned off the TV. Dorasi paused for a moment, as if she had just realized this solution. Blushing, she cleared her throat and said, "Very good, there's more than one way to the end..." Before she could finish her words, Sister Zou gently patted her head.
"We have something serious to talk about. Stop mumbling and change back to normal mode, normal mode!" The exclamation mark on Dorasi's head was fanned left and right by Sister Zou. She pouted, looking like she was bullied, but she was not angry. She adjusted the exclamation mark on her head, and then stood up obediently, holding Sister Zou's sleeve.
Lu Kai then spoke: "Doraxi, we know that TD Club is contacting you."
Dorasi looked up at him and said "Oh" casually, as if he didn't think it was a big deal.
"What conditions did TD offer you?"
Dorasi pulled a thick stack of contracts from his bag and handed them to Lu Kai. Lu Kai muttered sourly, "The contracts are here." He reached out to take them, opened them, and the dense, tiny print squeezed into his eyes, making him feel like he'd been punched by the sheer volume of words. Lu Kai handed the contracts to Sister Zou, "No, I don't understand."
Sister Zou took it and flipped through it, then uttered an ambiguous "Wow."
Lu Kai asked her what was wrong. Sister Zou shook the contract in her hand: "Five-year exclusive license, 9+1 payment, 30,000 yuan first order, 200,000 yuan series design fee, tiered royalties, 8% initial, 10% for sales between 100,000 and 300,000, 12% for sales between 300,000 and 500,000, and 15% for sales above 500,000."
Hearing these terms, everyone in the room was a bit dumbfounded. Zhao Jinghuan mentally calculated, but couldn't come up with the answer, so she secretly opened her phone. Seeing her little move, Sister Zou waved her hand and said, "Don't worry. With a 50 yuan selling price, even if it's just the initial order, an 8% royalty, and a 200,000 yuan design fee, Dorasi will get 1.2 million yuan if they sign the contract."
Zhao Jinghuan was shocked: "How can Hu Mingyuan earn so much money?"
Sister Zou asked, "Who is Hu Mingyuan?"
Zhao Jinghuan waved her hands repeatedly, saying that it was no one. She glanced at Lu Kai guiltily. Fortunately, Lu Kai was thinking about something silently and seemed not to hear their conversation, let alone spare the time to expose Zhao Jinghuan's past.
"30,000 for the first edition... 30,000..." Lu Kai looked at Doraxi, "No, look for your buddy. Does he have a part-time job in Myanmar?"
Doraemon tilted her head, clearly not understanding what he meant. Lu Kai rubbed his tight temples. He paused for a moment, then mustered up the courage to speak. "Doramon, this is a good contract, but we've discussed it. You and Freckles are both important assets of the company. We...we..."
He tried several times but failed to say the following words. Lu Kai smiled bitterly and became extremely frustrated.
He turned to look at the tomato behind him:
"Brother, it's a 30,000 yuan first edition. How the hell am I supposed to ask her to stay?"
