There is indeed a problem with my summoning spirit system

Chapter 135 133. Auditions and New Discoveries

"To be honest, we guys don't intend to do outsourced animation work."

Li Xiang took a sip of the wine, and the bitter and slightly astringent wine swirled on the tip of his tongue, stimulating his taste buds. The cold temperature and the stimulation of the alcohol made his brain more alert.

"The Sword Art Online fan animation I made before is a product of a common hobby. The reason why I talked about this with Mr. Watanabe this time is also because we don't want our results to be published by more people due to copyright reasons. See. As for me, it is only because I am a person in the team who is more suitable for external communication that I will discuss with Mr. Watanabe and you."

"However, since your team can produce works of such quality, it can obviously make a lot of profits. If it works properly, it shouldn't be a problem to set up a company and become a listed company."

"Money and material things are not the most important thing. Making interesting things that we like is the most important thing to us. If you can give us authorization, we will make money from the content we create. Of course it’s a good thing if you get money. But if you don’t intend to give us the right to license your content, it doesn’t matter if we don’t make a profit.”

Since the main purpose of Li Xiang's release of the video was to verify whether the power of faith could be generated in this way, after confirming that this method was indeed feasible, his purpose changed to how to collect more power of faith.In short, for them, the dissemination of videos is the purpose, and making profits from it is a by-product of gaining the power of belief.Of course it’s good to have it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.

Yrel definitely doesn't care about money, the money on earth is worth less to her than a piece of paper.But now Li Xiang is also not interested in money.With his current body, if he does some systematic training, he can easily win a few Olympic gold medals, and then he can definitely earn a lot of money if he gets an endorsement.

In the same way, now Li Xiang's memory is close to his photographic memory. With this advantage, he can definitely participate in some kind of "Super Brain" program, and it is not a problem to become popular.

No matter how bad it is, relying on the culinary skills he learned in the food halberd world, Li Xiang has the confidence to become a well-known chef. You must know that it is not difficult for a really good chef to make money. salaries are possible.

But what can you do with the money?

Material life, Li Xiang has already enjoyed it in the world of eating halberds.People are so swordsman, and Li Xiang has had enough of the days of the rich.At most, I can give my family a more secure life, but this is not in a hurry.

Li Xiang's parents are now in good health and have no problem living with a professor's salary and benefits.The second elder also looked down on the mortal world, and was usually more interested in archeology than making money.

And Li Xiang's sister is still studying at this time, as a young person who has not yet gone out into society.It would not be a good thing for her to grow up if she suddenly got a huge sum of money.Li Xiang planned to wait.Of course, Li Xiang still looks like a young man on the outside, but at his core, he is already an "advanced senior monk."It is not the same concept as real young people.

In any case, Li Xiang doesn't have much desire for money now.

As for the animation outsourcing production that Watanabe said, Yrel needs to put Li Xiang into a specific world according to the other party's requirements, and he himself is like a photographer who does not interfere with the process of the original work.Li didn't know what other people thought, but for him, making such money was meaningless.

Therefore, for Li Xiang, there is only one problem to be solved in this negotiation-the copyright issue.This is related to whether the videos he posted will be removed or restricted, which indirectly affects the playback volume of the videos he posted, and it is also related to the collection of power of faith.As for cooperation, IMHO, with Wuwugua.I cooperate with you, can you give me the power of faith?

With this idea in mind, after some tug-of-war, Watanabe's many efforts were ultimately fruitless.However, he still couldn't let go of the demand for the technology that Li Xiang might have, so in the end he had to temporarily agree to Li Xiang's plan.For the Sword Art Online fan animation produced by Li Xiang, as the copyright owner, they agreed to use the relevant copyright, but participated in the sharing.

In terms of the share ratio, Li Xiang did not embarrass the other party, and the two sides were evenly divided.Dengeki Bunko and the author have done nothing but have nothing to offer. Such conditions are not unreasonable.As a small additional condition for this generous sincerity, Watanabe Junichi agreed to Li Xiang with a small additional condition after seeking the consent of his superiors.

The additional condition is that after Li Xiang "their team" releases new works, help him negotiate with the copyright parties involved.Especially in terms of lunar month.After all, from the current point of view, Li Xiang will involve a heroic spirit from the Xingyue world in every world.

The agreement has not yet been completely finalized and implemented. The contract signing will be carried out after Watanabe returns to the island country to report to his superiors and draft the contract.Watanabe Junichi took the flight that night back to the island country headquarters to report on his work.Li Xiang, on the other hand, went back home and continued his daily life.

Of course, apart from daily study and life, Li Xiang and Yi Ruier have another task, which is to make Li Xiang's experience in the world of eating halberd into an animation.

After having the first experience, the second job is relatively familiar. In the second week after Li Xiang returned to the real world from the world of food halberds, the video was produced by Yrel and sent to Li Xiangguan uploaded it on the Internet under the title "Xingyue heroic spirits enter the world of eating halberd spirits".

After the fermentation of Sword Art Online, Li Xiang's account "Defense Tower No. 666" has become a very popular newcomer up master at station B.The second work he released has a mass base for the first time, and the popularity has risen faster than the first time.

"Host, given that the amount of power of faith collected in the derivative world is lower than the amount of power of faith collected in the real world. It is recommended that the host changes the course of action in the derivative world."

Li Xiang nodded and said:

"I know. If you can only choose one of the two, instead of gaining the power of faith in the derivative world, it is better to carefully design the behavior of your own character and the visibility of the plot, so that the audience in the real world can accept it. In order to get more Lots of energy."

Discovering a new source of power of faith is an important turning point for Li Xiangyrel.

Yrel also came to another important conclusion by analyzing the data.The power of faith she gained actually comes from the love of the role played by Li Xiang in the hearts of the audience.For example, the power of faith brought by the Sword Art Online animation actually comes from the audience's love for Artoria Pendragon, who Li Xiang "plays".

From now on, the focus of Li Xiang's work will change from being an "idol" in the derivative world and trying to be admired or worshiped by the residents of the derivative world to "telling an interesting story and creating an attractive character" to attract Audiences in the real world gain the power of faith through the audience's love for the work.

In addition, Yrel and Li Xiang also discovered another phenomenon.

That is, movie actors, TV drama actors, if they have played roles in broadcasted works, especially outstanding and popular roles, they can also gain the power of faith from the audience.

This discovery comes from Li Xiang's observation of some actors who have already debuted during the audition process today.

Back to noon today, Li Xiang arrived at the audition location at the appointed time.

This audition opportunity was given to him by Professor Zheng Wensi before.The role in the audition is the third male lead in Director Chen Shijing's new work "Gunfire".

Li Xiang was able to get this opportunity.In addition to his acting skills being recognized by teachers, there is another important reason - cost-effectiveness.

According to the "rules" in the circle, the remuneration of an actor for a work generally keeps increasing.

The salary for the previous movie you starred in was 100 million. The next time you star in a movie and role of the same level, the salary must be at least 100 million. Actors cannot afford the consequences of a drop in their value.Because the decrease in net worth means that the actor's popularity and value are not recognized by the market. Popularity is the lifeline of a star.

The advantages of already famous stars are:
First, the acting skills and strengths of these stars have been tested by the market, and the risk of problems such as being unable to enter the show and delaying the shooting schedule is relatively small.

Second, celebrities have their own fans and their own traffic. Many fans are willing to pay for the movie because of the face of their idols. Therefore, inviting celebrities is beneficial to the movie's box office.

However, in the context of actors' remuneration barely falling, a film that invites already-famous stars to star in requires considerable remuneration.

And using newcomers, the pay is much lower.

There are many directors who prefer to use newcomers for many reasons, the most important being the following:

First, the value of new actors is not high, it can even be said to be very low, which can reduce the cost of the movie.

Second, the acting skills and styles of new actors have not yet fully formed, and they are highly malleable. For directors with strong ability to train actors, such actors are more likely to perform the effect they want.

Third, since new actors have not yet become famous, they will cherish opportunities more and their work attitude will generally be better.There is generally only one announcement, and there is basically no "drama" problem.

"Hi, are you a newcomer here to audition?"

The audition was arranged in an office building, and the crew rented the first floor of this unoccupied office building.Director Chen is very famous, and this audition is an open interview for the public, so there are a lot of actors who came to audition.

At the door, the crew in charge of the reception saw Li Xiang holding a card in his hand, and greeted him.

"Yes, I am a student introduced by Professor Zheng. My name is Li Xiang. Where should I wait?"

The stage manager flipped through the list on his hand and found Li Xiang's name.

"The role you're auditioning for is the male number three. Just turn left after entering the room. There are still 6 people in front of you who haven't auditioned yet, please wait patiently."

Li Xiang bowed his body, thanked him softly, and walked into the office building.

As soon as Li Xiang walked into the office building, a well-known male celebrity passed by him.

The actor's name is Song Mingqing, who made his debut as the leading actor in a sitcom and became one of the hottest newcomers in the first half of the year.In order to broaden the way of acting, it seems that he is seeking a breakthrough in image recently.That's why I came to audition for the second male lead in director Chen's serious war film.

The moment he saw Song Mingqing, Li Xiang's eyes lit up.

"Yrel, see if he has the power of faith."

A moment later, Yrel's voice came:
"Host, he does have the power of faith."

Li Xiang touched his chin and asked in a low voice:
"Then Yrel, can you absorb the power of faith from them?"

Yrel gave a negative answer:
"I didn't sign a contract with them, it seems impossible."

"This is really strange." Li Xiang thought: "Yriel, what is the principle of collecting the power of faith?"

"emmm... I collect the power of faith from you, the host, through a contract. Obtaining the power of faith from someone who has not signed a contract relationship is..."

"That is to say, if you sign a contract with Yrel, you will be able to collect the power of faith from him?"

"There is such a possibility, but canceling the contract and re-signing the contract will also consume energy. On the other hand, I think you, the host, have great potential, and there is no need to change the contractor."

"Okay, I'll audition first."

Li Xiang spread his hands, tidied his clothes, and walked into the room.

Director Chen Shijing, together with the main creative staff such as the producer and screenwriter, are discussing in the room.

The producer first stated:

"I think the new actor just now is very suitable for the role of the third male lead. His interpretation of sadness is very unique."

Chen Shijing shook his head to express his disapproval:
"No, no, no. Although the sad state he performed is intense, it is actually just superficial and not the state I want most. Of course, this is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is his partiality. His narration His skills are not very strong. If you want to use him, you will probably need to add dubbing by other people in the end. You also know that it is difficult to achieve the expected final effect without the original dubbing."

Compared with director Chen Shijing's concerns, the producer has more considerations about economic costs and time costs.But this film is the second film directed by Chen Shijing after he became famous for his masterpiece, a story about anti-narcotics police who fight against drug trafficking.In order to maintain the standard of his works, he has stricter requirements on himself.

His requirements for details have already begun during the casting process.

Seeing Li Xiang walking in, the "judges" stopped their discussion.

"You should be the student recommended by Mr. Zheng. I remember your name is... Li Xiang, right?"

"Yes. Teacher Zheng asked me to come here and give it a try."

"Since it can be recommended by Mr. Zheng, it should have some real skills. Then let's start."

Chen Shijing went straight to the point, opened a nearly new script at hand, glanced at it casually, and decided on the "examination questions".
