Second World. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"President, President!" pushed open the door and saw Xu Wenhui, the supervisor Takayuki Tsuruta said excitedly.

Takayuki Tsuruta is the blue-shirted director who led Xu Wenhui before, and his face is obviously a little excited at the moment, he is now not only the director of the editorial department of the second world, but also the editor in charge of Xu Wenhui, responsible for Xu Wenhui's comic affairs.

The manga editor is the same as the fiction editor, and his main responsibility is to edit and typeset the manuscript.

An issue and a volume of exciting or touching comics are also inseparable from the finishing touch of the editor, and the patient and meticulous review and editing of the comic editor!

Just like Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball", if this work hadn't been requested by his editor to continue serialization, there would be no story of Dragon Ball going out of the earth, and there would be no glory of Dragon Ball, and there are many, many similar examples.

It can be said that responsible editors have a great influence on cartoonists, and can save cartoonists from many detours. However, this is undoubtedly much less useful to Xu Wenhui, who has been trained in the 21st century.

But it's not nothing, Xu Wenhui will also consult his own editor-in-charge on weekdays, although the editor-in-charge can't control him.

Xu Wenhui was painting, and Akina Nakamori next to her served her tea and water, while Araki Fei and Lu Yan's assistants were busy at their desks.

Because he plans to finish "Dragon Ball" as soon as possible, and then be busy with other things, Xu Wenhui has been painting comics in the second world for almost two weeks, and he has been working in his own exclusive studio for at least ten hours a day, because he doesn't have to think about the plot, and the help of several assistants is very fast, plus more than a month of painting, it is estimated that he will be able to finish the first part of the Dragon Ball animation chapter after a while of painting.

Of course, Xu Wenhui didn't dare to squeeze his assistant too much, although Xu Wenhui himself could withstand it, it was not a matter at all, but for ordinary cartoonists, the drawing ability is limited, or anyone's physical and mental strength is limited, and no one can maintain high quality for a long time to overload painting!

After all, not everyone is as demonic as Xu Wenhui.

Xu Wenhui, who was wearing a dark blue apron and holding a paintbrush, sat in front of the drawing board without looking back, and drew with both hands, "Tsuruda, what's wrong?"

"President, I'm here to tell you good news. ”

"What's the good news?"

"Just now, the staff of the publishing house came to report that today's "Young Second" has all been out of stock, and the manager and owner of many bookstores have called us to print it and send it over!!"

"Miracle, no, this is a miracle! You say it's a good thing, today we printed 50,000 copies as before, I didn't expect it to be sold out so quickly, according to this trend, last week's sales were not short-lived! We can now stabilize 150,000 copies a week without a problem. Takayuki Tsuruta had excitement on his face, and his mouth kept talking, as if he had painted works such as "Dragon Ball" and "Crayon Shin-chan".

"It's sold out, it's not bad, I believe it will get better and better in the future!" Xu Wenhui's face was still very flat, in fact, this was also in his expectation, the six masterpieces that had already ignited the fire, if they couldn't even do this increase, how could "Shonen Second" compete with Shueisha, Shogakukan and other three major weekly??

Xu Wenhui took a sip of the cherry fed by Nakamori Akina and said: "In addition, continue to maintain our hunger marketing this week, no matter how the bookstore urges, we still follow this routine, and reprint it in the third week, but don't print it to 150,000 at a time, just 100,000." ”

"I know, I'll tell them now. Takayuki Tsuruta nodded again and again, paused, and said with a wry smile: "It's just that although we don't have full-color pages in this issue, most of them are all there, and there is such a poster, I'm afraid our printing costs will rise again." ”

Of course, there are not only those six works serialized on the second of the year.,There are also some ordinary works.,This issue,Xu Wenhui didn't give color.,But the six gods maintain color.。

The Second World did not have its own printing house, so it could only be handed over to other printing companies for printing, so that the color page and black and white had to be changed and a series of work adjustments had to be re-colored.

In addition, there is the problem of color page paper, which will inevitably lead to the improvement of the finished printed product.

Don't blame him for being so calculating, he has to burn more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars a week, and because of Xu Wenhui's generous salary increase, although there is still a lot of money in the financial situation of the second world, it must be controlled.

The salaries of cartoonists and assistants, editors and accountants, all cost money.

"Now is not the time to count costs. Xu Wenhui said lightly.

"Now that the latest issue of the manuscript is in hand, I will go to the printing house immediately, and we will print it for two days and three nights, and we may have to pay the overtime pay of the printing company. Takayuki Tsuruta carefully put the original manuscripts of the two manga "Crayon Shin-chan" and "Dragon Ball" into his file bag, as if he was afraid that they would be damaged if the action was a little heavier.

・・・・・・・

After Takayuki Tsuruta left, Xu Wenhui said to the four people who had been busy for more than ten days, such as Araki Fei Lu Yan and Reiko Shimizu: "Later, you will go and collect your manuscript fee for last week, everyone has worked hard." ”

The remuneration for cartoonists is basically paid on a per-issue basis, which is not a special treatment for Xu Wenhui's assistants.

According to the contract signed between Second World and his manga artists, the serialization is paid according to the number of pages, and the author receives a part of the money for each copy sold, but the specific money varies from person to person, because it is distributed according to popularity.

As for how to calculate popularity, of course, it is based on the sales of comics, single books, and questionnaires.

The division of the second world does not harm the economic rights of the painters, and in fact it is the cartoonist's assistant who benefits the most.

Not only can they get the salary of Xu Wenhui's assistants, but they can also participate in the sales share of the comics, in fact, this part of the share is made up to them by Xu Wenhui from the income of his original work!

This makes several assistants very grateful, because other comic companies give comic assistants a pitiful salary, and there is also a share of income, "Dragon Ball" and "Crayon Shin-chan", they will benefit immensely.

"You've been working hard these days, so let's go home and take a rest. ”

After hearing Xu Wenhui's words, the four people, who were originally listless and even a little embarrassed, bounced up from the sofa almost at the same time.
