"Lawyer Hu, Lawyer Zhou, do you know anything about the copyright fees for these comics and animations?" Cao Shuai asked.

Hu Wenhao and Zhou Dingguang obviously did their homework in advance, and they quickly gave the animation copyright fee for the island country.

For a quarterly animation like 12 episodes, the cost to buy out the overseas rights for one episode is generally 1,000 to 3,000 yuan.

Long-form animations are usually sold bundled with comic copyrights. This kind of animation is not calculated based on the price of each episode, and there is no such thing as a buyout. The contract is only based on the number of years, usually every five years.

Fees also vary in different countries.

Countries like the United States and Europe that attach great importance to copyright will cost millions of dollars in five years.

But Bangzi is full of piracy, and its relationship with the island country is not friendly. In 2009, "Naruto" only sold for 600,000 yuan under a five-year contract.

The current situation in Huaxia is a bit similar to Bangzi, but Luo Fan's request is that the purchase lasts for 10 years. The two estimate that in 10 years, the price of a full-length animation should be about 2 million yuan.

This price was much more expensive than Luo Fan thought. Luo Fan originally thought that buying the ten-year copyright for 1 million yuan would be enough to enter the market at this time. Unexpectedly, it actually doubled.

Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd. brought in the equivalent of 8 million yuan this time, which means that it would only be enough to purchase 4 feature-length animations.

Luo Fan thought about it and decided to only purchase the copyrights for three animations: "Naruto", "One Piece" and "Detective Conan". The remaining 2 million yuan was used to buy the copyrights for some short animations with 1 million yuan.

With the remaining 1 million yuan, Luo Fan planned to go to type-moon to talk about investment.

What led Xiaopo Station to survive the most difficult years in the previous life? It was definitely fgo that allowed Xiao Po Station to rise.

FGO has not yet been developed, but the prototype of FGO, Fate, is already available and is quite popular in the island country.

The game fgo was launched on the island country’s Android version on July 30, 2015. This game had existed for 7 years before Luo Fan’s time travel. This game showed its amazing ability to attract money and its tenacious vitality, creating a

Industry myth after industry myth.

The commercial value of type-moon has also increased accordingly.

Nowadays, type-moon is far from reaching the heights of later generations. A 1 million yuan entry should be able to win a lot of shares. By then, with the game fgo as the foundation, Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.’s game sector will also be better.

of perfection.

In addition, another reason that made Luo Fan change his mind to buy short animation is that the current short animation is too cheap.

An episode of 1,000 to 3,000 yuan is just like picking it up for free. You must know that at the peak in 2017, each short animation cost an average of 1.14 million yuan.

The reason why animation copyrights were so expensive in 2017 was that major platforms were competing for copyrights at that time.

In 2017, a certain Qiyi spent US$3.3 million to purchase "How to Raise a Passerby Heroine Season 2".

In 2018, Xiaopozhan bought "Violet Evergarden", known as the Bible of mankind, for US$3.5 million.

However, in 2021, the price of animation copyrights has plummeted. Ultimately, it is because someone changed the animation review system.

Before Luo Fan traveled through the world, "King Ranking", which was popular all over the Internet, was said to have only cost US$120,000 to introduce it.

But no matter how it falls, it is still relatively cheap to buy at this time.

That's why Luo Fan changed his mind and asked Cao Shuai to acquire some other short animation rights.

As for what short animation to acquire, Luo Fan left the decision to Li Jingyi. The vision of an old two-dimensional person is worthy of trust.

Li Jingyi reported 7 or 8 classic masterpieces in one breath, and Cao Shuai quickly wrote them down.

The matter was almost discussed and the meal was finished.

Luo Fan decided to part ways with Cao Shuai and the others, and they went to acquire copyrights. Luo Fan took Li Jingyi for a brief tour in Tokyo.

Cao Shuai expressed strong contempt for Luo Fan's behavior.

Luo Fan chose to ignore it and pulled Li Jingyi away.

"Luo Fan, something suddenly occurred to me."

"What?"

"Neither of us seems to know how to speak Mandarin."

"It's okay, I know a little bit, and the island country is the country with the least language barrier for us Chinese people." Luo Fan said confidently, patting his chest.

This is indeed the case. Along the way, Luo Fan and Li Jingyi found that the slogans used on most occasions were in Japanese, Chinese and English, so there was no need to worry about finding the way.

Even if some slogans are not in Chinese, you can still guess a lot by looking at the Chinese characters in the island's Mandarin language.

Luo Fan and Li Jingyi relied on a little bit of English they learned from watching cartoons and some Chinese character slogans to achieve barrier-free travel.

When they first arrived in Tokyo, they didn't have any goals and spent the whole afternoon wandering around.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Luo Fan decided to have a meal first, then find a place to stay for one night, and then plan his travel route for tomorrow.

Li Jingyi was also a little hungry and agreed immediately.

There happens to be a sukiyaki restaurant nearby. As a traditional dish of the island country, many foreigners choose to try it when they go to the island country.

Luo Fan and Li Jingyi walked into this store. Luo Fan originally planned to order in English, but he didn't expect that the waiters here were actually Chinese.

Luo Fan learned from the waiter that this Mijiu store has been open in the island country for more than 100 years and is a century-old store.

Luo Fan ordered the meal according to the waiter's recommendation, and soon a waiter came to help with the cooking.

First, put a large piece of butter into the pot to increase the aroma, then add shredded konjac, tofu, green onions, and beef slices in sequence, and then pour some kind of sauce into the pot, and after cooking, add the egg liquid and eat it.

Luo Fan personally couldn't accept raw eggs, no matter whether they were sterile or not, but Li Jingyi didn't care. After the beef was cooked, the two used chopsticks together.

When she got excited after eating, Li Jingyi asked for a bottle of sake. The two of them finished the wine and felt their faces were a little hot.

It was already 8:30 pm when Luo Fan and Li Jingyi came out of the store.

Before leaving, Luo Fan asked the Chinese waiter and learned the location of a nearby hotel.

The two of them arrived near the hotel as the waiter said.

"That should be it!" Luo Fan pointed to a building on the right and said.

Li Jingyi took a look and found no other hotel-like buildings nearby, so she echoed: "This should be it."

So Luo Fan and Li Jingyi went in and checked in. What was strange was that the waiter didn't ask how many rooms they wanted, but instead led them to the door of the room.

The moment the waitress opened the door, Luo Fanren was stunned.

The pink lights are shining with an ambiguous light, and there are all kinds of bold furnishings in the room. Is this a serious hotel? Isn't this a love hotel?

I don't know whether it was because of the lighting or because Li Jingyi was a little shy, but her face looked particularly red.

Seeing this, Luo Fan felt that his throat was a little dry. His brain became hot and he pulled Li Jingyi in and closed the door.
