Chapter Ninety-Nine: Signing

The next day, Chu Yu took a leave of absence and came to the Xuangui Comics Club alone.

Inside the Xuangui Comics Club, Li Xi has been waiting for a long time, and he is like peace, wearing an OL professional attire, and the whole person looks capable and energetic.

As soon as Chu Yu walked into the Xuangui Comics Company, he found Li Xi's office with ease.

"Please be seated!" Li Xi said after seeing Chu Yu.

After pouring a cup of tea for Chu Yu, he closed the door by the way, and the whole room was in a closed environment.

"I guess I don't need to say anything, just yesterday, at the serialization meeting of the Xuangui Comic Society, your work Natsume's friend account and another work, the Thousand Stars Secret Realm, were selected by the editor-in-chief Deng He, plus another excellent work in the second-level journal of the Xuangui, a total of three works will be serialized in the current issue of Shui's journal in three weeks!"

"Three weeks later?" Chu Yu's eyes froze.

Before coming, Chu Yu naturally knew about the fact that his work could successfully pass the serialization meeting.

But he didn't expect the efficiency of the turtle to be so high, and only yesterday he decided which works could be published on the water's edge, and the next day he immediately set the publication date of the works.

"This is the signed contract, you take a look at it first, if it's okay, I'll print it out and complete the signing. Li Xi placed a laptop in front of Chu Yu.

In the first place, it is a long contract.

Fortunately, after Chu Yu went through the Song Jiayu incident and dealt with the cuttlefish, he also had a much stronger sense of the relevant laws, although he didn't say that he was proficient in the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, but at least he also knew about the contract pit cases in the relevant comic industry.

He can see the pitfalls in ordinary contracts.

Of course, Chu Yu still has a certain degree of trust in Li Xi, Su Wei's good friend, but he has to guard against others, so this contract ..... Chu Yu looked at it very seriously.

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

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

Overall, the contract is decent and there are no pitfalls.

The main key points are as follows.

First, the remuneration for comics is 2,000 dragon coins per page.

Chu Yu didn't have any opinion on this.

Although on the surface, the remuneration of 2,000 dragon coins is only 1,000 yuan more than the remuneration obtained by Manying.

Compared with the two journals of Manying and Shuiyuan, the gap between the two may be described as heaven and earth.

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

But if a cartoonist can serialize comics in a journal like Mizuri, who cares about the meagre remuneration income?

It is not the same as the parallel plane Rimoto comics, which are popular all over the world.

In the Dragon Country plane, although it is still the island that carries forward the theme of comics, the potential strength of the Dragon Country mainland region cannot be ignored.

At least, in today's Dragon Kingdom comic industry, the entire animation market is extremely standardized, with a strong sense of copyright, and there are countless comic fans who have been cultivated.

In parallel time and space, hundreds of millions of works sold in a single book can be described as the ceiling of the comic industry, and most of them are concentrated in the local area of that world.

But in the Dragon Country plane, with a population base of more than one billion, the difficulty of breaking 100 million in a single comic book is much lower than that of parallel time and space.

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

In short, the manga of the whole world is imitating the Dragon Kingdom.

Therefore, the sales volume in overseas markets should not be underestimated.

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

Relying on single royalties, anime adaptations, and peripheral incomes with an annual income of hundreds of millions, there are many cartoonists.

It's not uncommon for the names of several old cartoonists to pop up on the Dragon Country Rich List.

In such an environment, people will definitely not care about the comic remuneration in this area.

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

Comics are serialized in periodicals, and the comic club helps you promote comics, and naturally, the comic club also has a share of the copyright income of your work.

On this contract, the royalty rate of comics belonging to Chu Yu for the distribution of single books is 8 percent......

Chu Yu looked at Li Xi.

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

"There's nothing to talk about about this thing!" Li Xi stopped what Chu Yu wanted to say.

"According to the regulations of the Gengui Comics Society, any cartoonist who serializes comics in the journal Mizurim for the first time will have this ratio in terms of the proportion of remuneration for a single book!"

"If you want to talk to Gengui about this, it's at least after your comic book has achieved impressive results and serialized a new work! At that time, 9 percent, 10 percent, or even higher royalty percentages are possible, but it all depends on your track record. ”

When Chu Yu heard this, he was silent for a long time.

"Got it!"

Chu Yu is not entangled in this, ideas are very important, but it is also necessary to look at reality.

Now he really can't negotiate terms with Xuangui.

For the rest, the contract has about animation adaptations, adaptations of other themes, and the sharing of peripheral goods, which are basically the normal standards of the industry.

"I don't have any opinion!" Chu Yu nodded.

"Okay!" Li Xi smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Neatly printed out the contract and instructed Chu Yu where and how to sign it one by one.

Five minutes later.

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

Chu Yu also stood up in response to her, and the two of them held hands together.

"Welcome to the Xuan Turtle!" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu with a smile.

After this moment, she will be Chu Yu's comic editor, which means that the two have officially established a cooperative relationship, Chu Yu's state of mind, comic serial progress, and personal private life, it is necessary for her to participate in different degrees.

At the same time, the results of Chu Yu's works are also related to her personal income and career promotion prospects on the turtle.

Not to mention anything else, if Chu Yu's Natsume's friend account was serialized a month or two after it was slashed because of his poor popularity, then Li Xi from now on, let alone in Xuangui, even if he jumps to other comic companies in the future, there will be people who will use this to talk about things.

Signing Chu Yu is also a gamble for Li Xi.

But no matter what, for Li Xi, she has been like this all the way.

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

"Okay, since that's the case, then from today onwards, the person you have to contact in Xuangui about comics is me!" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.

"Three weeks later, Natsume's friend account was officially published on the water edge, and according to the rules, the new work was published for the first time, all of which were two words together!"

"In addition to the original manuscript of the three words you gave me before, in order to keep up with the serialization progress of the comic club, starting the week of the serialization of this work, you also have to submit the original comic manuscript of the fourth word of this work!"

"Every week after that, the deadline is Friday, and I will visit when it is due, I hope you don't delay the manuscript, don't be ...... like someone"

"Otherwise, you'll appreciate my urging methods!" Li Xi said as if jokingly.

However, Chu Yu could vaguely feel that she was very serious.

It just so happened that since Li Xi talked about this, Chu Yu also spoke.

"Of course, if you are familiar with Su Wei, you should be able to understand, I have never delayed the draft....."

"It's just that I, as a native of Luo Province, am not familiar with life in the magic capital........ In order to complete the comic creation with higher quality, I need to find several comic assistants. ”

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

"Comic assistant?" Li Xi thought for a few seconds when he heard this.

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

"Two!" Chu Yu said.

Although one is enough according to common sense, Chu Yu also has other ideas, and he is already a hand speed monster in the eyes of an ordinary cartoonist anyway.

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

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

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