Chapter 99： Sign up

The next day, Chu Yu asked for leave, and came to the Xuangui Comics Club alone.

Inside the Xuangui Manga Club, Li Xi has been waiting for a long time. As usual, wearing an ol professional attire, the whole person looks capable and energetic.

Chu Yu walked into Xuangui Comics Company, and found Li Xi's office in a familiar way.

"Please sit down!" Li Xi said after seeing Chu Yu.

got up and poured a cup of hot tea for Chu Yu, shut the door by the way, and the whole room was in a confined environment.

"Presumably, there is no need for me to say anything. Just yesterday, at the serial meeting of the mysterious turtle comic club, your work Natsume Friends Account and another work Thousand Stars Mystery were selected by the editor-in-chief Deng He, plus another The excellent works in the second-level journals of Bu Xuangui, a total of three works will be serialized in the current issue of Shuiyuan in three weeks!"

"In three weeks?" Chu Yu's eyes narrowed.

Before 　　 came, Chu Yu naturally knew about the fact that his work could pass the serial meeting smoothly.

But he did not expect Xuangui's efficiency to be so high. Yesterday he decided which works could be published on Shuiyuan, and the next day he immediately set the publication date of the works.

"This is the contract signed. Please check it first. If there is no problem, I will print it out and complete the contract." Li Xi placed a laptop in front of Chu Yu.

Entering the eye is a long contract.

Fortunately, after the Song Jiayu incident and after dealing with cuttlefish, Chu Yu has a much stronger awareness of the relevant laws. Although he does not say that he is proficient in the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, he at least understands the relevant cases of contract fraud in the comics industry. Over.

He can see the pitfalls in the general contract.

Of course, for Li Xi, Su Lu’s good friend, Chu Yu still has a certain degree of trust in him, but he must be defensive, so this contract...Chu Yu takes it very seriously.

Finally, after changing three cups of tea in front of Li Xi, Chu Yu finally put his eyes away from the electronic contract.

I was relieved in my heart.

Generally speaking, this contract is quite satisfactory and there are no pitfalls.

The main key content is the following points.

First, the comic manuscript is paid for two thousand dragons per page.

On this point, Chu Yu has no opinion.

Although on the surface, the remuneration of two thousand dragon national coins is only one thousand yuan more than that of Man Ying.

Compared with the two journals Man Ying and Shui Yuan, the gap between the two can be described by heaven and earth.

Each page is only a thousand yuan higher. I am really sorry for the status of the journal Shuiyuan.

But when it comes to a cartoonist who can serialize comics in a periodical like Shuiyuan, who cares about the amount of manuscript income?

is different from Japanese manga in parallel planes, which is popular all over the world.

On the plane of the Dragon Kingdom, although the Japanese island side is still carrying forward the theme of comics, the potential power of the Dragon Kingdom mainland area to come from behind cannot be ignored.

At least, in the current Long Kingdom comics industry, the entire animation market is extremely regulated, with a strong sense of copyright, and it has cultivated countless fans.

In parallel time and space, the single-book books selling hundreds of millions of works can be said to be the ceiling of the comics industry, and most of them are concentrated in the Japanese region of that world.

But on the plane of the Dragon Kingdom, with a population of more than one billion people, the difficulty of breaking through one hundred million in a single comic book is much lower than in parallel time and space.

And in this world, the Dragon Kingdom is definitely a unique existence in the world comic market.

In short, the comics of the entire world are imitating the Dragon Kingdom.

Therefore, sales in overseas markets cannot be underestimated.

This has also created a large group of staggering rich people in the Dragon Kingdom comics industry.

There are many cartoonists who rely on single-line royalties, adapt animations, and earn more than 100 million yuan in annual income.

It is not uncommon for the names of several old cartoonists to appear on the Long Country Rich List.

Under such an environment, everyone will certainly not care about the comic manga remuneration in this area.

In the contract, many cartoonists are concerned about the share of copyright.

Comics are serialized in periodicals, and the comics club will help you promote the comics. Naturally, the comics club will have a share of the copyright revenue of your works.

In this contract, the percentage of royalties for the comic book issued by Chu Yu is 8%...

Chu Yu looked at Li Xi.

"Li Xi, this is about the ratio of comic royalties..."

"There is nothing to talk about!" Li Xi stopped what Chu Yu wanted to say.

"Xuangui Manga Club stipulates that any manga artist who publishes comics in the journal Shuiyuan for the first time will have this ratio in terms of the share of the remuneration for the manuscript!"

"If you want to talk to Xuangui on this issue, it is at least after you have achieved impressive results in this comic and serialized the new work! By that time, 9%, 10%, or even higher The percentage of royalties is possible, but it all depends on your past performance."

Chu Yu heard this and was silent for a long time.

"understood!"

Chuyu didn't bother with this. Ideas are very important, but we also need to look at reality.

Now he really can't negotiate terms with Xuangui.

The rest, in the contract, there are animation adaptations, other themes adaptations, and the sharing of peripheral products, which are basically the industry's normal standards.

"I have no opinion!" Chu Yu nodded.

"Okay!" Li Xi smiled.

Printed out the contract neatly, and instructed Chu Yu one by one where and how to sign.

five minutes later.

Li Xi put away the contract and stretched out his hand to Chu Yu.

Chuyu also stood up to respond to her, holding their hands together.

"Welcome to Xuangui!" Li Xi smiled and looked at Chu Yu.

After this moment, she is Chu Yu’s comic editor, which means that the two have formally established a cooperative relationship. Chu Yu’s physical and mental state, comic serialization progress, and personal private life all need to be involved in varying degrees. .

At the same time, the performance of Chuyu's works is also related to her personal income on Xuangui and her career promotion prospects.

Among other things, if Chuyu’s Natsume’s friend account is cut down due to poor popularity one or two months after the serialization, then Li Xi from now on, let alone Xuangui, even if he changes jobs to other comic companies in the future. Some people will use this to talk about things.

Signing Chu Yu is also a gamble for Li Xi.

But anyway, for Li Xi, she has been like this all the way.

The same was true when Tang Xin was excavated back then, otherwise Tang Xin's rise would not be so fast.

"Well, in that case, from today onwards, you will be my partner for comics in Xuangui!" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.

"Three weeks later, Natsume's Friends Account was officially published in Shuiyuan. According to the rules, the new work was published for the first time, with two stories together!"

"In addition to the three manuscripts you gave me before, in order to keep up with the serialization progress of the comics, you have to submit the manuscript of the fourth chapter of this work from the week that this work is serialized!"

"Every week thereafter, the deadline is Friday. I will visit when it is due. I hope you don’t drag your manuscripts. Don’t be like someone..."

"Otherwise, you will appreciate my reminder method!" Li Xi seemed to say jokingly.

But Chu Yu can vaguely feel that she is very serious Just in time, since Li Xi talked about this, Chu Yu also spoke.

"Of course, if you are acquainted with Su Lu, you should be able to understand that I have never delayed a manuscript..."

"It's just that, as a native of Los Angeles, I am unfamiliar with the magic city...In order to complete the comic creation with higher quality, I need to find a few comic assistants."

"I don't know Li Xi, do you have any good suggestions for this?"

"Comic Assistant?" Li Xi heard the words and thought for a few seconds.

"How many do you want?" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.

"Two!" Chu Yu said.

Although one would be enough according to common sense, Chu Yu also had other ideas. Anyway, he was already a speed monster in the eyes of an ordinary cartoonist.

And because of system reasons, Chu Yu doesn't have to spend a lot of time conceiving the plot of the comic.

In that case, why not try to see if you can serialize two works or even more works at the same time with enough manga assistants?

After all, there are so many excellent works in the system, and Chu Yu doesn't expect to serialize them all in this lifetime, but he can always serialize one more.
