297 This is not what it used to be

Ic{ f / f x i 0)& f! FD"Ԃ A OD 5! Ih, in the conditions given by "Weekly Shonen Magazine", 11% of the royalty is still higher than the average, so the 3% peripheral share is just the industry average - even for newcomers, this is the price.

For a juvenile cartoonist whose works are more popular, the proportion of income is about half of the royalties of a single book and half of the peripheral shares.

As for the magazine manuscript fee and the licensing fee for animation, movies, and TV series, it is a fraction at most.

Qin Han believes that the football comic "Midfield Core" he is preparing definitely has the potential to sell well, and when the time comes, he will follow the wave of Dongying football professionalism and engage in several waves of linkage with the Football Association, and the surrounding area will not be able to sell off?

The 3% sales share ratio is too low.

Although manufacturers and retailers have to account for the majority of the income from peripheral sales, they still have to have 10% of the revenue paid to magazines. Kodansha is only willing to give 3% of it. Obviously, this condition was not very attractive to Qin and Han.

"Weekly Shonen Magazine felt that as one of the three major shonen manga magazines in Toei, even if I really wanted to invite me to serialize, I didn't have to offer too generous conditions. Qin Han said.

Kyokamiri flipped through the notepad: "Weekly Shonen Magazine has been on the rise in the past year, and there are many excellent sports manga under its banner, so for them, you are not the target of the company. ”

Kyokamiri also did a lot of research work on Weekly Shonen Magazine. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to achieve the most favorable outcome in negotiations.

Since "Weekly Shonen Magazine" did not show the greatest sincerity, Qin Han put this option on hold for the time being.

Perhaps, people think that relying on Kanedaichi alone is enough.

Of course, there is another reason, Qin Han and Jingjia Miri do not know.

Weekly Morning, which was originally a magazine under Kodansha as Weekly Shonen Magazine, hoped to invite Qin Han to serialize Dragon Sakura. Who knows that because of the obstruction of an associate editor, it will not be realized.

As a result, the deputy editor-in-chief was later dismissed along with her husband for economic crimes.

After that, a rumor gradually arose within Kodansha: if any editor had a conflict with Mr. Qin Han, he would soon be unlucky.

Although it's just an unreliable urban legend, the colleague who used to talk and laugh with him went to prison in the blink of an eye, which really made the senior management of Kodansha feel a little hairy. So for Qin and Han, their psychology is a bit subtle.

Compared with "Weekly Shonen Magazine", which is more enthusiastic and less sincere, "Weekly Shonen Sunday" is much more proactive.

Within two days, the editorial office of Weekly Shonen Sunday sent someone to talk to Kyokamiri twice.

The second time, it was a deputy editor-in-chief who came out in person.

Moreover, the conditions offered by the other party are also very good. The royalty is 12%, the perimeter is divided into 5%, and the remuneration for magazines is also the highest level in the industry.

Moreover, the other party also promised that if Qin Han came to "Weekly Youth Sunday" to start a serialization, then he would use all the resources of the primary school hall to promote it. The degree of attention received is no less than that of Andac.

Qin Han knows very well that with a "Dragon Sakura" now, he can't compare with Anda Chong. The other party has such a condition because it has high expectations for the future.

And "Weekly Shonen Sunday" itself is also in urgent need of a powerful cartoonist to boost the magazine's sales.

"The conditions offered by Weekly Shonen Sunday are very good and show great sincerity, and I suggest that you should consider them fully. Kyokamiri concluded.

"Hmm. Qin Han nodded.

Next up is "Weekly Shonen Jump".

Although he has had some grievances with the other party, Qin Han is not a glass-hearted child, and he will not play any drama of blacking out and blocking him for a lifetime.

He also doesn't rule out Weekly Shonen Jump as an option if the conditions are right.

The problem is that Weekly Shonen Jump doesn't have a specific condition like the other two magazines.

Because "Weekly Shonen Jump" has a unique exclusive contract system for cartoonists, Qin Han didn't actually consider the option of "Weekly Shonen Jump" in the past after he was ready to create comics.

Who knows, even after the news that he will serialize a magical girl manga in "Flowers and Dreams" in White Springs is revealed, "Weekly Shonen Jump" is still very active in contacting him.

And like "Weekly Shonen Sunday", the person sent by JUMP to communicate with Kyokamiri is a high-level person and is an associate editor.

Could it be that "Weekly Shonen Jump" has given up on its own system?

Of course not.

The so-called case-by-case analysis.

Back then, Shueisha ruthlessly blocked Qin Han because he was just an unknown newcomer. In the conflict between the two sides, Shueisha's interest in maintaining the exclusive contract system was even higher.

But now, the situation is very different.

Qin Han is no longer what it used to be, no longer the newcomer who has just debuted, but a first-class cartoonist in Dongying, and whichever magazine he goes to can bring billions of yen in income.

In this case, Shueisha will of course be flexible.

Exclusive contract system for cartoonists?

Inexistent.

Just like Yoshihiro Fujian in his previous life. When I was painting "Youyou Baishu", I was forced by the editor to dance with a whip, like a donkey grinding, diligently drawing comics, never slacking off for a moment.

But after becoming famous, when "The Hunter" was created, the roles of the two sides had been reversed. It's no longer the editor who forces Fu Jian Yoshibo to draw comics, but wants to kneel down and beg Fu Jian to update it quickly.

Moreover, even if the rich thief suspends countless publications, and even publishes drafts directly in the magazine, the JUMP editorial department has no choice but to beg and coax this great god. One day, when "Hunter" is going to resume serialization, or when a new single book is released, it will be hyped up with lights.

Today's Qin Han, although he has not yet reached the status of being able to make "Weekly Shonen Jump" kneel and lick - unless he draws a phenomenal comic with cumulative sales of more than 50 million. However, it is still possible to negotiate on an equal footing with the other party.

"The associate editor of JUMP was very kind to treat me to a meal at the high-end restaurant in Ginza. And when they parted, the other party also gave a very expensive gift, which was a 3,000 yen super high-grade peach, a total of 12 in a box. ”

"Hmm, peach, you can bring it back to Mengxiang to eat. Qin Han said, "JUMP didn't prescribe specific conditions first, but it was a dinner and a gift, obviously wanting to play the emotional card first." ”

Shueisha probably also knows that because of the impact of the previous blockade incident, Qin Han will have some mustard in his heart. So he didn't come up with a contract as soon as he came up, but wanted to have a good relationship with Qin Han first and release his previous suspicions.
