Chapter 112: Make Money Without Loss
"Same here. Besides, if I really came to you with a project that has nothing to do with you, you would just say that I was wasting your time."
Jia Wenyan: "Tell me, when did you start to have this idea?"
"It probably started when you decided to come to Mogao Grottoes."
Zhen Shuwang paused for a moment and said:
"We were mainly busy with the update of Journey to the West at that time, but as you know, the outsourcing of Journey to the West has become very stable now, so I stopped focusing on it and turned to thinking about the theme of next year's movie.
Jia Wenyan: "So you thought of the princess series?"
"We didn't think about it in this direction at first. For next year's animated film, our initial idea was to use blue and white porcelain, a cultural relic that most Chinese people know, as the theme."
"We originally wanted to use Blue and White Porcelain to create an original Donghuang story. But you also know that in addition to being responsible for film planning, I also work part-time on updating the comic "The Girl Who Saw History"."
"Although I have reserved some manuscripts earlier, due to the time taken up by Journey to the West, I have to prepare the next chapter as soon as possible before the manuscripts are used up."
"I originally wanted to use the campus life in the college as the topic as planned, but just a few days ago, I suddenly received a video from your cultural relics restoration team."
"I thought it was very interesting that you used an electric drill to carve, so I followed this line of thought and found the part about Princess Wencheng in the story of the murals in Mogao Grottoes.
"Of course I have to admit that a big part of the reason I thought of this was because of the Di family's princess series."
"I know that princess-themed animations can attract some female viewers very well. But...
"But you didn't want to do this originally, because you were worried that if you started this plan, people would think you were following the Feng Di family."
"Yes, although our story is definitely rooted in the traditional culture of Donghuang, just like when our Yong'an Park was first planned and built, it was uniformly called Donghuang Disneyland by both domestic and foreign websites."
"Although we focus on Donghuang's traditional culture, if our operating model really shows too much of the Dini family's shadow, then..."
Jia Wenyan: "It's inevitable that there will be controversy over plagiarism, right?"
"Then why you came to see me..."
Jia Wenyan pondered for a moment and then said:
"I think they wanted to use the fact that I am currently repairing the Mogao Grottoes murals to announce the event in advance. And let everyone think that we are doing this theme for real-life archaeological work.
Rather than wanting to imitate the other party's operation and creation model. "
"You understand me." Zhen Shuwang smiled when his thoughts were touched:
"I know this may be a bit shameless, but as long as we have this excuse, as long as public opinion gradually stabilizes in the future, we can follow the logic and let the audience associate the "Princess Group" in their eyes."
Jia Wenyan: "So that's why you need me to accompany you to attend the National Film, Television and Animation Exchange Conference at this time?
As Jia Wenyan said this, she gave a "ghostly smile" that made it hard to tell what her mood was.
Zhen Shuwang: "You...are not angry?"
"Angry? Why should I be angry? Just because you cheated me out of my confession?"
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would put feelings first?"
Jia Wenyan: "I never think that love can be separated from interests. Only when two people have more and more common interests can they work together to achieve better results."
"Benefits are the best icing on the cake of relationships from beginning to end."
"Besides, I already have shares in Wing On Amusement Park. Why should I mind if it can make me more money?"
"Besides, don't forget what you just said to me. You said that as long as I'm with you, I'll be in charge of your shares in Yong'an Paradise."
"Even if you become the party at fault in the future, I can still ensure my rights and interests at the first opportunity."
"There is nothing to lose for me. Besides, you also said that as long as I choose to accept it, then in the next two years, if I want to get married, all the time is up to me."
There is no reason for me to miss such a "sure and almost risk-free" project.
To be honest, rather than suspecting that you had ulterior motives, my first reaction was more about whether you were planning to throw money at me.
"We really don't have any foundation in this regard, but don't forget that the reason we chose to be together was never just about the two of us."
"Let's take a step back and say that as long as I don't make any mistakes, then even if there are problems on your side, the compensation that Grandma Xu gives me will far exceed my expectations."
Jia Wenyan is not stupid. Although it is stupid to pin her hopes on the other party, the current situation is that the deeper she is tied to the image of the Yongan Group, the greater her security.
As for Zhen Shuwang...
Jia Wenyan said that if she won the bet, she would get a handsome husband, and if she lost the bet, she would take her "compensation" and become a rich woman.
Whether she wins or loses, she never loses.
\"I'm glad you understand.\"
Zhen Shuwang smiled with satisfaction when he found his own kind.
He certainly knew that the timing of his talking about these things might be a little inappropriate.
At this time, even if you express the key to the problem and make all the explanations, your family will still doubt you.
Zhen Shuwang could understand this idea very well. After all, the first reaction of a normal person would be to regard this as a trap to trick the other party.
But the good topic was right there, and he didn't want to give up just like that.
So in the end, he decided that it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one, and chose to make all these things clear on the same day.
He hoped to gain the other party's understanding. However, he never thought that Jia Wenyan had no unhappiness at all from beginning to end.
…
Because he overlooked one thing, that is, for Jia Wenyan, even if she had this doubt, she would give in on the word "making money".
Can feelings be eaten? Anyway, she doesn't steal or rob, and it doesn't violate ethics and morality. As long as she can make money, she won't lose even if she is deceived by some feelings.
Anyone who puts feelings first is a fool. As long as her moral bottom line is not broken, life is all about making money, money, and money.
…
The two of them acted quickly, and although their relationship had not been officially made public, it began during that holiday weekend.
Every day, as long as Jia Wenyan continued to repair the murals in Mogao Grottoes, Zhen Shuwang would find a place to sit in the corner of the table and use his brush to record Jia Wenyan's restoration work in Mogao Grottoes.
Not long after, as "The Girl Who Sees History" was officially updated and launched in the Yongan series, many people gradually began to realize the existence of the other party from the actions and perspective of the heroine repairing the mural in the comics.
The subsequent Reuters and itinerary exposure on the Internet further fueled this imagination.
[I swear, Director Zhen is definitely having an affair with Director Jia.]
[Yes, weren't there always rumors about the two of them? ]
[Yes, someone analyzed it at that time and said that the Yongan Museum taken over by Director Jia was a bottomless pit with no popularity for the time being.
Although Director Jia later revived the Yong'an Museum with his skills, the Yong'an Museum is basically officially tied to Director Jia. 】
[After all, it is Ms. Xu's family's ancestral property. Although Director Jia is Dean Zhen's last disciple, it is definitely not as appropriate as a daughter-in-law.]
[Yes, although we all admire Director Jia's ability, the reason why Director Jia was able to get so much investment from Dean Zhen and Ms. Xu is largely because they think Director Jia has the potential for development.]
[Yes, we do not deny that Director Jia has always been very talented and capable in the field of traditional crafts, but for the elders, this kind of binding is obviously more secure. ]
[Add one: Otherwise, under normal circumstances, who would hand over such a family heirloom to an outsider? Besides, the Yongan Pawnshop, the predecessor of the Yongan Museum, was just a pawnshop, not a factory, so it is natural that they did this. 】
There was a lot of noise among netizens’ discussions.
Zhen Shuwang: "I'm sorry, but the value of your hard work has been reduced."
"Don't worry, there's no problem. We are judged by many people when we are in the public eye. At this time, as long as the works we hand in are good, no one can continue to question our image."
Jia Wenyan took this matter very lightly, although she has always received mostly positive reviews online.
But judging from her image in the public eye, from being a traditional cultural relic craftsman in a museum to gradually turning to museums, colleges, and even amusement park planning, it is no longer possible for her to guarantee 100% positive reviews like when she first started out.
This is inevitable as attention increases and the audience grows.
"Just like what you said when you approached me to discuss 'cooperation', artists are all result-oriented. As long as the results we produce are good, no one will care about our beginning or process."
…
That day, there were no plot restrictions, and Jia Wenyan and Zhen Shuwang, who entered as producers, quickly put together the story of Princess Wencheng.
For people in the Northwest, the existence of Princess Wencheng is a white moonlight that will never fade away.
They are also not sure how to better present such a role to the world.
But right now, compared to the comments of these netizens, their main purpose is to discuss the development of the animation film market in the next two years at today's "Donghuang Animation Industry Exchange Conference".
Don't think that such regular meetings are unimportant.
The market for animated films is only this big, although there are not as many producers engaged in this industry as there are in traditional films.
However, they also have to disperse their filming schedules as much as possible in a limited market. Zhenxin Animation, which just won the top three annual box office with "The Story of the Stone" last year, naturally became the focus of other companies.
In order to avoid conflicts, they even adjusted the meeting time to Jia Wenyan's vacation in Mogao Grottoes after learning that Jia Wenyan was willing to attend.
