Chapter III: Serial Decisions
Su Wei looked at Chu Yu and was a little stunned!
This young man is too single, and he felt that there was no chance of cooperation, so he immediately got up and left, without dragging his feet in the slightest.
But when the opportunity for cooperation reappeared, the person who had been a little indifferent before immediately smiled, and seemed to have the opposite attitude before.
Su Wei smiled, but felt that Chu Yu had an appetite for her.
After all, in the workplace, the people you come into contact with can't tell whether they are true or fake to you, like Chu Yu, who is unabashed, no, it should be someone who doesn't want to hide his thoughts at all, but it makes Su Wei feel much easier to get along with him.
The next thing is much simpler, since both of them intend to publish the work of Yan Ye Zhiting in the short comic journal Moying under the Cuttlefish Magazine, the main thing to discuss is the price and copyright of the comic!
Although the number of words in this work is very low, the words of seven words are barely enough to produce a single book.
Although Su Wei thinks that the probability of this work reaching the popularity of a single book is not high, it is better to write these things into the contract first, and there will be disputes in the future.
After nearly half an hour of negotiations.
In the end, the result of the negotiation between the two was that the cuttlefish comic club published it on the ink shadow at a price of 220 yuan per page, and if the work of Yan Ye Zhiting was published in a single book in the future, the royalty share ratio would be 7%!
In other words, in the court of words and leaves of about 160 pages in seven words, Chu Yu finally received a remuneration of about 35,000!
According to Chu Yu's understanding, this is also a normal newcomer comic price, and it is even slightly higher, it seems that Su Yu didn't want to bully Chu Yu is newcomer, and he didn't understand the market and lowered the price.
And there is an additional condition in the contract, that is, in the next year, if Chu Yu has a new comic, he can only choose to submit it to the Cuttlefish Comics Club, even if the selpool comics club's serialization meeting does not pass Chu Yu's new serialization, the work cannot be submitted to other comic journals!
As compensation, the cuttlefish comic society gave Chu Yu a certain economic subsidy to a certain extent!
However, the subsidy is far inferior to even the urban subsistence allowance, which is better than nothing!
Chu Yu looked at this additional condition and was silent for a long time.
"This is the rule of the industry, don't say that the three major comic societies in the city have only one comic book club whose influence is only in one province, even if it is a large comic club with sales channels all over the country like the Seven Magic Capitals, newcomers who want to serialize in their journals must accept similar additional conditions, which are not unique to our company. Su Wei was afraid that Chu Yu would think too much and explained to him.
After all, it is impossible for any comic company to cultivate a potential newcomer in its own journal, and then let them change jobs at will and sell at will, although such a clause is overbearing, but if you want to embark on the road of a cartoonist, the first step is to accept it.
Accept it, and only after becoming famous can you be qualified to negotiate terms with the capital side.
Chu Yu understood this truth, he just thought that this was the first contract he signed in his life, and after signing this contract, he would be a person who had half a foot in society.
While earning income under the terms of the contract, it will also be bound by the treaty on it.
For a while, there was some fear and fear, but more excitement!
Chu Yu picked up the pen, the touch was a little cold, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, didn't hesitate, and signed his name on it!
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Su Wei stood up and stretched out his hand to Chu Yu!
"Teacher Shuixin, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"Happy working together!"
Chu Yu also smiled and nodded, shook hands with her, and after the two exchanged a few words, Su Wei sent Chu Yu all the way from the eighteenth floor of the Cuttlefish Comics Club to leave the building.
Su Wei, who returned to the office again, took out Chu Yu's original contribution to Ye Zhiting.
Looking at this beautifully painted comic, Su Wei took a deep breath.
To be honest, at the comic serialization conference, basically no one was optimistic about Chu Yu's work.
First, Chu Yu is not famous, and the reviewers are cautious!
The second is that the style of Chu Yu's work is plausible, neither traditional campus love nor adult workplace emotions.
The teacher-student love can't be talked about, the male protagonist Qiu Yue and the female protagonist Xue Ye just confide in each other at the end of the emotional outburst, and it came to an abrupt end when the emotions of the whole work reached their climax.
But it is true that this work has a beautiful painting style, and the rhythm and narrative are not procrastinated, and the plot is not bloody.
So she tried her best to overcome public opinion, although she couldn't win the serialization on the comics, but she tried her best to help Chu Yu win the opportunity to be serialized on the ink shadow.
Because this work made Su Wei feel a kind of spirituality, she said that she couldn't tell if this work could sell well, but she felt touched when she watched this work!
For an editor like her, who has read a lot of manuscripts, it is rare for a work to give her such a feeling!
So it is not so much that Su Wei signed Chu Yu because of this work, but rather that Su Wei is optimistic about Chu Yu's potential.
High school students, and if it's just the first manga with this quality, even if this work doesn't catch fire.
And what about the next work?
......
Chu Yu returned home and lay heavily on the bed, although he didn't do any physical work, he was still a little tired.
On his mobile phone, he added the number of editor Su Wei, and the Weixin Penguin naturally added friends.
At this time, Su Weiwei sent a message from the letter.
"The work is going well, the serialization is also on the agenda, and next week there is a work of Moying that is about to end, and the editor-in-chief has agreed, and the court of words will be published next week to take the place of that work. ”
Efficient so fast?
Chu Yu was stunned.
But after thinking about it, the serialization on Ink Shadow is basically a short comic, and most of them are newcomers and some talented cartoonists who publish their works on it.
It is normal to have a listing in the near future.
On the mobile phone, there were several calls from the head teacher.
Chu Yu thought about it, made up the reason for his illness and cold at will, and asked for leave by the way!
If you don't go to class, Chu Yu is alone in the empty room, and Chu Yu also got up and went to the living room to put incense on the spiritual seat of his parents.
Chu Yu sighed, maybe it was precisely because his parents died early that no one restrained him that he would have the courage to do such a thing as skipping class first and then asking for leave!
It's also because I live alone that I'm addicted to anime, two-dimensional things!
In the end, I actually got this cartoonist system and became a cartoonist!
Chu Yu looked at the portrait of his parents, was silent for a while, and suddenly said.
"Mom and Dad, if people really have such a thing as a soul, you don't have to worry about me, although your son and I used to play games and watch anime all day long, but now I can be regarded as a cartoonist, and I have earned 35,000 yuan, and I am finally half a social person!"
"With my grades, I will naturally be the best to go to university, and if I can't get into college, I will become a cartoonist in the future!
"Well, that's it!"
After saying a few words, Chu Yu seemed to be in a much happier mood, and opened the curtains to let the sun shine in.
At the beginning, after getting this system, Chu Yu just wanted to see more excellent comic works from another dimension.
That's why the system fooled me into drawing comics.
But now......
The wind blew gently, and Chu Yu took a deep breath.
Although it is mainly copied, it can not only make money, but also read many excellent works in parallel worlds.
Thinking about it this way, it seems quite good to be a cartoonist and make a career out of it!
