Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit-Chapter 817 - 813: The Sharp Partner
Chapter 817: Chapter 813: The Sharp Partner
Richelle Dunn looked at her obviously downcast expression and quickly reached out to pat her on the shoulder.
“Your studio is pretty good. If you didn’t tell me, I would never have thought it was a new company that has only been established for a few months. The company atmosphere is quite good.”
Fenny Watts used to run a studio in South Asia, but the economic environment there wasn’t very good, so she moved her studio back here.
She herself is a Federation citizen, and now half of her studio consists of her original South Asia employees.
“Your script is indeed good, but just having this is not enough. You need a good animation production team as well as a series of post-production issues, such as passing the review, marketing, and getting into theaters.”
Richelle Dunn had not been involved in this field previously but wanted to help Fenny Watts. In the past few days, she has learned a lot of relevant information.
She also learned about some reliable production teams and post-production companies from Nathan Caroule.
Fenny Watts was actually a little at a loss, “I know, so when they came to me, my instinct was to resist.”
“But every creator wants their work to spawn more works and be seen by more people. This script is the result of more than half a year of hard work by everyone in the studio since its founding. I can’t give up the opportunity to promote everyone’s work just because of my own fear.”
Richelle nodded, “I understand your feelings. How about this, can you arrange a meeting with the production team members tonight? We can have a chat and get to know them.”
Fenny Watts was very straightforward, “Of course, so what’s your role, investor or?”
Richelle Dunn smiled at her.
“It’s just that I’m your partner!”
So in the evening, Richelle Dunn and Fenny Watts came to a restaurant that the production team had booked, accompanied by Delroy.
The other party had booked a private room. When Richelle Dunn and Fenny Watts entered, the person in charge of the production team, William Bailes, and his two assistants had already arrived.
“Ms. Watts!”
The three men stood up to greet them.
Fenny Watts introduced them, “This is my partner, Ms. Dunn.”
William Bailes took a closer look at Richelle Dunn, “Ms. Dunn, have we met before?”
Richelle Dunn smiled at him, “I have an ordinary face. Mr. Bailes, you must have mistaken me for someone else.”
Although Richelle Dunn was a frequent visitor to the top searches, she was not a public figure after all. The media didn’t dare to be too outrageous. Generally, reports about her had blurred photos or side-view shots.
So as long as she didn’t say her full name, basically no one would associate her with the recently dominating “Master Dunn” of the medical field and the “Mr. Dunn” of the Lewis Group.
William Bailes said, “Ms. Dunn, you’re being modest. If you call this an ordinary face, then our Federation can be called a nation of beauties.”
Richelle Dunn had heard plenty of compliments like this and easily handled it before taking her seat.
After some small talk, the conversation came to the main topic.
As a partner, Richelle Dunn got straight to the point,
“Mr. Bailes, the price you’re offering is just too low. That’s the result of more than half a year’s hard work by all the staff in our studio. With that price, the money each of our employees gets is just a little bit. Who would have the passion to create the follow-up stories?”
Fenny Watts was very creative, but her communication skills were average.
Her negotiation skills were close to zero.
So when Richelle Dunn heard her mention a low-price, low-split cooperation, her first reaction was to oppose it.
But after reading her comic story, Richelle Dunn felt it would be a pity not to turn such a good script into a film.
So, she came up with the idea to invest.
William Bailes thought Richelle Dunn was also like Fenny Watts, just a hardworking manga artist and boss.
“Ms. Dunn, as far as I know, these stories have subscription income, and the film adaptation is just an additional income derived from the product. In addition to the original income and the spread of income, it should be higher than the income of an ordinary clerk, don’t you think?”
William Bailes’ statement seemed reasonable, but it was actually a cunning one.
Richelle Dunn naturally wouldn’t be fooled by his rhetoric.
“Mr. Bailes, you’re calculating the value of the work by the average income per person. But in fact, the value of this work should be determined by the approximate box office it can achieve after being turned into a film, minus costs, and then extrapolate the price.”
William Bailes laughed, “Ms. Dunn, you’re quite impressive. The work hasn’t been animated yet, and you can already estimate its approximate box office. So why don’t you tell me, how much box office can this work have?”
Richelle Dunn also laughed, “Mr. Bailes, if you didn’t have an estimated box office in mind, you wouldn’t have spent tens of thousands or even ten dollars on this work. If Mr. Bailes insists on this price, then I’m sorry, there is no need for us to continue the conversation.” freёnovelkiss.com
The food hadn’t even been served yet, and Richelle Dunn was already showing a posture of leaving the table if the negotiation failed.
William Bailes had always thought Fenny Watts was the big boss and knew that she was easy to talk to, so he assumed Richelle Dunn would be the same.
However, once Richelle Dunn put away her small talk, she instantly became efficient and sharp.
