Chapter VII Signing

"Hello Mr. Wang, I'm the intern editor of Four Seasons, just call me Madoka. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Hello Madoka editor. ”

Wang Ming looked up and down, and saw that the person in front of him had a melon seed face, a slender figure, very white skin, and a sweet voice, which was very beautiful.

Wang Ming, who had just left school, received a call from his father, saying that he wanted him to come to the publishing house, but he didn't say anything else. As soon as she entered the door, the little beauty in front of her pulled herself down in the reception room, but the current situation was that the two of them sat on either side of the sofa and didn't know what to say.

"Putting together an intern editor and a rookie cartoonist, I don't know what the top management of the publishing house thinks. ”

The senior management of the publishing house, who was out of tune in his heart, showed a sincere smile on his face and asked, "May I ask you for something about me?"

Wang Ming's words made Xiaoyuan relax a lot. When I was an intern, I often heard from my seniors that many cartoonists have quirks, and no one knows what kind of unknown quirks they have under the glamorous appearance of cartoonists, but as long as you can communicate well, there is not much of a problem.

Girl, cartoonists aren't beasts......

"That's right, Mr. Xiao Wang, your work has passed the review of the four seasons and can be signed, and I am your responsible editor. ”

After listening to Xiaoyuan's words, Wang Ming subconsciously replied: "Oh, it's a reminder!"

Xiao Yuan's face turned red, and he pretended to be generous: "The reminder is just by the way, we editors are very busy most of the time." ”

Wang Ming didn't care, his works are all ready-made, with or without editors, and it's not bad to have a beautiful editor now.

"But then again, when am I going to submit my article?"

Madoka pricked up a finger and looked at the ceiling, recalled: "It was probably this morning that a woman drove a car and brought a stack of sketches to the editor-in-chief who was about to go to a meeting, and then at the regular meeting, the editor-in-chief distributed the sketches to the editors. For this comic, everyone's evaluation is good, and they are all rushing to be the editor in charge of Mr. Xiao Wang, and finally the editor-in-chief designated me, let me talk to you about the signing of the contract. ”

Send it and send it, sooner or later, you have to vote, it is estimated that it is this submission that will allow my father to suspend his studies so quickly.

Madoka looked at the young man in front of him who seemed a little calm, and sighed a little in his heart.

In the current comics market, the most lacking thing is a talented original cartoonist, and he has some basic information about Wang Ming in his hand, which clearly says that the person in front of him is just 16 years old, at this age, he is definitely the youngest among cartoonists, as long as he can keep it, and then give him the title of a genius young cartoonist, he will definitely be popular.

Although I don't have much experience as an editor, but my vision for reading comics is not bad, Wang Ming's contribution is a royal blood comic, this kind of comic is drawn for a longer time, the greater the influence, plus Wang Ming is so young, it is not a problem to survive a large number of cartoonists. What's more, this comic is not bad, the rhythm is orderly, the plot is coherent, and the basic skills are also very solid, a 16-year-old person can definitely be called a genius if he can do it to this extent.

Now, this genius is in charge of himself, so he has to work harder.

After making up his mind in his heart, the tone of his voice became firm: "Teacher Xiao Wang, let's talk about the issue of manuscript fees." ”

The change in Xiaoyuan's editing, Wang Ming felt it in an instant. But now, the most important thing is the issue of manuscript fees, "Call me Qingbai, Qingbai will be my pen name in the future." ”

"Okay Mr. Qingbai, how about we talk about the manuscript fee? ”

"Good. ”

Wang Ming is 16 years old this year, and according to the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, people who have reached the age of 16 are counted as adults, so Wang Ming does not need a guardian to sign on his behalf.

"Teacher Qingbai, if your work is launched in a serial way, according to the content, a page of 300 dragon yuan, if you issue a single book in the future, the royalty is 6% ~ 10% of the price, according to your first words, next week you can get 16,800 dragon yuan on your bank card. ”

Hearing this number, Wang Ming was dizzy for a while. He can draw at least 100 pages a week, and it is 400 pages a month, that is, 120,000 dragon yuan.

When he came back to his senses, Wang Ming didn't think much about it, so he nodded in agreement.

After the contract was negotiated, Xiao Yuan got up and took Wang Ming to the conference room.

"What is this?"

"Please wait, the editor-in-chief wants to talk to you. ”

After waiting for a while, a middle-aged man with a goatee walked in from outside, "Hello, you are Teacher Qingbai, right?" ”

Wang Ming hurriedly stretched out his hand and held Qiu Ye's hand, "Hello, hello, Editor-in-Chief Liu, may I ask you to call me here for something?"

Of course, Liu Chengfeng will not say that he is afraid that your talent is just a temporary flash of inspiration and cannot last, but he just said that he wants to hear Wang Ming's follow-up story about this comic and understand the outline of the story.

After Wang Ming heard this, he introduced the follow-up trend of "Death" to Liu Chengfeng's plot, and introduced things such as the thirteenth team of the court, the broken face, the return blade, the corpse soul realm, and the virtual circle.

Listening to Wang Ming's introduction, Liu Chengfeng nodded again and again, and let out a "wonderful" exclamation from time to time, which made Wang Ming feel a little interested.

After chatting about the plot, Liu Chengfeng and Wang Ming mentioned the manuscript fee and royalty issues again.

"Teacher Qingbai, you should know that most of the royalties for newcomers to release single books are only 5%, and after reading your story, I think the price of 8% is more suitable. If you can keep it at this level, I can increase it to 10%. Qiu Ye sat opposite Wang Ming and said calmly: "This is already the highest share of ordinary cartoonists in the industry, I hope to use our sincerity in exchange for your commitment to give priority to us within ten years, how about it?"

"What do you mean by priority?"

Although Four Seasons is his own company, Wang Ming doesn't like to be constrained, so even if it is his own company, Wang Ming may not necessarily buy it.

"Just under equal conditions. For example, if there is a company that bids the same or higher than us, then you are free to choose whether or not to submit to us, how about it?" Akiba explained with a smile.

If you don't want to start a business with your father's money, then there is no reason not to agree to this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, and there is no reason to refuse at all.

"Good!"

After discussing everything, Wang Ming signed a copyright contract with Four Seasons Publishing House.

After putting away the contract, Qiu Ye said to Wang Ming: "This week, Teacher Crescent's "Magical Girl Love" is about to end, and we are worried that there will be no works on the top next week, so Mr. Qingbai's original manuscript will be published in the magazine next week, please prepare the next plot as soon as possible. ”
