Chapter 546: Tai Chi Inventor (2)
(Make up for yesterday's second update)
Because of the manuscript fee for "Metamorphosis", Yi Zifang has the money to take medicine, and his condition is well controlled.
In order to ensure that his muscles can be more active and will not be frozen, he also insists on going downstairs to eat every day and walking around.
When Feng Han and Sister Xiaowu came over, he had just come back from a round of Tai Chi with the old man in the square outside.
Nowadays, Tai Chi has become popular in the circle of the elderly in Dongyang, after all, aunts can dance square dances, and uncles who don't want to go along with the dirt have to use this method to fight with aunts.
The main contributor to the development of Taijiquan is naturally Zeng Lao.
In the past, he was fighting at home, but later in order to attract the adoring eyes of the aunts, he ran to the park and the square, and as a result, he attracted a group of uncles, who were like-minded.
Knowing that Zeng Lao is the father of the lord of Zeng City, he is also a local celebrity, a knight, in order to pat him on the back, the magistrate of Dongyang County began to promote Tai Chi in the jurisdiction from the policy, and also invited the old man to teach in major squares and parks on behalf of the government, and even named Tai Chi Square in a square that has just been built and has not yet been named, in the center of the square is a huge Tai Chi fish, and the inscription naturally has to bother Zeng Lao.
Although Zeng Lexin didn't say anything, but other surrounding counties have also begun to follow suit, this trend is spreading from Dongyang to the surrounding areas, and even the largest encyclopedia website on the Internet has included the entry of Taijiquan, indicating that the creator Feng Han, and the person who carried forward Zeng Guangxian, the source of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
It was not until the recent publication of the 2, 3, and 4 behind "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that the Wudang school was introduced, as well as the most important Taiji sword and Taijiquan in Wudang, which made this martial art have some popularity.
However, as a supporting role, the gatekeeper kung fu is naturally not comparable to the martial arts of Dugu Jiujian and Star Absorbing Dafa and Sunflower Treasure Book, and the presence of Zhang Sanfeng, a virtual character who has not appeared, is far inferior to that of the eunuchs of the previous dynasty.
Yi Zifang enthusiastically let Feng Han's sister and brother in, as a bachelor's room, and without receiving a notice from visitors in advance, he was able to be so clean and tidy, everything was in order, which made Han Wu feel a little more favorable.
Because Feng Han bought a lot of "The King of Heaven" for Yi Zifang, and Yi Zifang read all the comics above, he knew Han Wu.
"I've seen your "Meteor Garden", although it's not my favorite genre, but because of Feng Han, I watched it very seriously, I won't talk about the story, just look at the painting skills, and I have a lot of gaps with you. ”
"Where, after all, I have been doing this since I was a child, and you are a halfway monk after all. Han Wu said modestly.
Feng Han said on the side, "Today I invited a professional cartoonist to come over, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." ”
Yi Zifang hesitated for a moment and asked, "How much did you earn by drawing this set of comics?"
Feng Han Han Wu was stunned, he didn't expect him to ask such a utilitarian question.
But it's normal, it's about his life, Feng Han has already paid him half of the serialized manuscript of Metamorphosis before, no matter how much he gifts, he will definitely not be able to accept it, he just wants to use his own skills to support himself now, and live like a person.
Han Wu took out her mobile phone and calculated it while looking through the text message that the manuscript fee had arrived.
"It's been almost ten months since I published the comics, because this story was written by Feng Han, who was already well-known at the time, and it was to open up the market for female readers of Mantianwang, so the manuscript fee offered to me by Mantianwang was higher than the market average, and I was given 100 yuan for a page of comics at the beginning, 12 pages per week, four weeks a month.
After two months, because the magazine's sales skyrocketed and the market feedback was very good, it rose to 120 per page, and it became 15 pages per week, and in the first two months, it rose to 150 per page, or 15 pages per week, and I calculated that the manuscript fee I got from the magazine was 70,000 in total, and I had my own team, which were all students, and it was relatively cheap, and my own estimate was only 30,000. ”
Feng Han's poor sister said, "It's not a lot, my 30,000-word "Metamorphosis" has a serial manuscript fee of 300,000, even if it is shared equally with Lao Yi, it will be 150,000." ”
Yi Zifang nodded, "I can write it myself, so I don't have to share it with others, no, I have to share it with Xiaohan equally, but it's not bad." ”
Seeing Feng Han hit himself so hard, Han Wu said again, Han Wu said again, "But because the comics have been adapted into TV series recently, I got an adaptation fee of 5 million." ”
"What, 5 million!?" Feng Han frowned, "For the movie adaptation of "Triple Gate", my mother only gave 3 million!"
Han Wu rubbed Feng Han's head and told him to calm his anger.
A glint flashed in Yi Zifang's eyes, "The adaptation is so powerful!"
Han Wu nodded, "As long as it is popular and has a mass base, the adaptation fee is still very considerable, and there will be hundreds of thousands, more or even tens of millions, and it can be sold many times, only for a few years at a time."
However, not everyone can get the opportunity to adapt, and the main income of cartoonists is still a single book, and "Meteor Garden" is also going to release a single book, and these incomes are definitely much higher than the income of serialization. ”
When Yi Zifang and Han Wu were chatting, Feng Han had already begun to look at the manuscripts that Yi Zifang had drawn during this time.
At the beginning, this guy had to send Feng Han almost every picture he painted, asking him to find fault and point out his shortcomings.
Although Feng Han can't draw, in Yi Zifang's opinion, he is a great reader, and he can accurately say his problems, which benefits him a lot.
From the beginning, each one had to be revised more than a dozen times, and later, every Feng Han couldn't mention any problems, and even every word was not a big problem, Yi Zifang used his diligence to make rapid progress.
Seeing that he had accumulated 12 words of manuscripts, which was enough for three months, it was estimated that he was also holding back his energy to see readers' feedback, so Feng Han said, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, Lao Yi, let's contribute! I can't wait to see the readers' reactions." ”
Yi Zifang was a little surprised, "Really, is this appropriate, do you want to save the manuscript for another half a year, I'm afraid that I will suddenly fall ill and break the update." ”
Feng Han waved his hand, "Save for another half a year, I'm afraid that you will have no food at home, and it is important to make money quickly." ”
Yi Zifang said embarrassedly, "Then the matter of submission will trouble you, I'm not good at negotiating prices." ”
"No problem!" Feng Han said, and then Han Wu directly helped him dial his editor Su Jingwei's phone.
"What, Feng Han wants to vote his martial arts comics to our Mantian King!" Although Su Jingwei is not in charge of male frequency, as the editor-in-chief, she is proud of the magazine, she can't help but be excited, "Is it laughing at the rivers and lakes?!"
Han Wu explained, "No, no, no, it's an original story he wrote, and someone else drew it, called "Fengyun", I'll send you some drafts to see......"
