Chapter 375: Sunset
Manpower is sometimes poor.
Wang Ming found that the story in his mind may not be finished in his life, after thinking for a while, he called all his assistants to the capital, these animations in his mind do not have a long shelf life, rather than wasting, it is better to assign a little task to everyone, so that he has more animations to watch, and he can also cultivate many assistant abilities.
"One Punch Man" is still far from the end, but Yoshihiro Tomiyasu also found a lot of assistants to help, so he threw the next serial mission to the assistant, and then took his wife to prepare to go to the capital. There were many people with him, most of whom were cartoonists he brought with him from Dongying, and many of their works were serialized in magazines such as "Cat Look", "Wildfire", and "Autumn Chronicle". The people brought by Yoshihiro Fujian from Dongying occupy almost one-tenth of the comic market, which can be called terrifying, and Wang Ming also took a fancy to the ability of these people to make this decision.
Junsheng Koizumi and others who stayed in the demon capital also came to the capital, but Sun Yang didn't come because he still had to go to school and the serialization of "One Piece", which has to be said to be a pity.
Some contributors with excellent painting skills in the capital were also invited by Wang Ming to participate in this meeting, and in the end, the number of people reached 100.
"You probably have a big question mark in your mind."
Wang Ming stood at the top of the conference room and said calmly: "Everyone was called by me today because I was going to ask you to help me create comics recently. With such a good idea in mind, instead of waiting for these ideas to weather and rust one by one, it is better to publish them for your benefit, after all, the power of one person is too small. ”
As soon as Wang Ming's words fell, Junsheng Koizumi was the first to ask: "Let's draw comics, it's no problem, but there are so many people present, even if they are in a group of three or four people, there are more than 20 groups, so many contributions, no magazine can eat this cake." ”
If it was before, Wang Ming might have been troubled by this, but after the production of "Slam Dunk", the General Administration of Sports accepted this situation, and on the basis of Wang Ming's efforts in the past half a month, Wang Ming's application for the establishment of the journal passed the review, and the relevant departments approved the issue number.
That's right, what Wang Ming is preparing is to publish his own magazine.
The magazine was hung under the name of Bilibili, and the name Wang Ming also thought of it, so it was called Xibai.
Xi has the meaning of night, and cyan represents black, so the name Xibai is basically equivalent to Wang Ming's pen name. Xi in the ancient language has the meaning of the Dan Dynasty, indicating the early dynasty, the early dynasty is the ancient hundred officials and the emperor to decide the meeting of national affairs, Wang Ming compared this magazine to the emperor in the comic magazine, and these cartoonists' manuscripts will be a hundred officials......
The name also represents Wang Ming's expectations for the magazine.
"You don't need to worry, we Bilibili already have our own exclusive weekly Xibai."
Looking at the assistants who were talking about it below, Wang Ming shouted "quietly". After everyone calmed down, he continued: "I have prepared a lot of topics for you, but I have two requirements to explain to you first. ”
"First, all those who get the subject must sign a licensing agreement with Bilibili. After the agreement is signed, we will not take any of the income you get in terms of manuscript fees, and you will only get 5% of the income from copyright-related aspects such as single books before tax. ”
"Second, all those who get the subject matter must sign an employment agreement with Bilibili, and the term of the agreement varies from five to fifteen years. After the agreement is signed, we will pay you a certain amount of salary on a regular basis. ”
"Now you have half an hour to ask questions, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask, it's outdated."
Wang Ming relied on the animation "EVA" to sit in a hegemonic position, and he dared to be so strong when he became the rule-maker in the animation industry. If he dared to say such things to these people before the screening of "Eva", he would burn high incense if he could leave ten. Ten minutes into his words now, only one person chose to leave. The rest of the people, except for Fu Jianyi who watched the play on the side without care, the others didn't have a single problem, and they all lowered their heads and didn't speak.
Wang Ming vaguely guessed what these people thought.
Now that they are powerful, they can't afford to provoke them, and this humiliation can only be swallowed, thinking in their hearts: Who will step on whose head in the future is not certain.
As you can imagine, most people here will opt for a five-year contract.
For this situation, Wang Ming has also been prepared.
"Let me first give you a brief introduction to some of the works in the contract."
"The better works in the five-year contract are "Fate Zero", "Madoka Magical Girl" and other works. The better works in the ten-year contract include "Magical Girl Illya", "Sword Art Online", "Acceleration World" and other works. Fifteen years is not a lot of contracts, and I can only offer three titles, called Naruto, Detective Conan, and Orient Gensokyo. ”
When everyone heard these names, their eyes almost widened.
"Fate Zero" and "Madoka Magical Girl" don't need to be said, they are all masterpieces that have been recognized by the audience, and once you get the right to create a draft, you can foresee a rise in horror popularity in the future.
"Magical Girl Illya", the name is related to fate as soon as you hear it, and now the tens of millions of Fate die-hard fans on the gamer forum are definitely a force to be reckoned with, as long as the work and fate are linked, tens of millions of popularity are at your fingertips.
Although not many people know about "Oriental Fantasy Village", it is very popular in the fan circle, and millions of people pay attention to it on station B, and its popularity cannot be underestimated.
"Sword Art Online" and "Slam Dunk", the latter is the bottom of the box this year, the former is a masterpiece at the beginning of next year, the two are regarded as the same level in Bilibili, and the animation of "Sword Art Online" will be broadcast next year. At that time, the popularity of comics will also explode, which can be regarded as a potential stock.
can be as famous as these works, even if it is bad, you can't find it.
Originally, I thought that Mr. Qingbai was just trying to pull a group of people to enrich the newly created "Xibai", and what was handed over to everyone would only be some second-rate works, but now it seems that he is spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Teacher Qingbai, how much is a page of a comic?"
"Teacher, how are the works distributed?"
"Teacher ......"
Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Wang Ming showed a smile on his face, "A page of comics is the highest price in today's comics industry, 350 yuan per page, and the distribution of works requires everyone to hand in some background pictures of the characters they usually create, and I will distribute the works according to your style." ”
"And how to solve the contract problem?"
"The first time you sign a five-year contract, I will extend the contract as appropriate according to your style."
Just when everyone was having fun, Junsheng Koizumi suddenly stood up, "Teacher Qingbai, is there a comic with that kind of plot?" ”
Wang Mingqiang endured the discomfort in his heart and nodded.
……
Seeing that everyone had no problem, Wang Ming finally concluded: "After the works are assigned, I will divide everyone according to their style, ranging from two to five people in each group...... Okay, no problem, just dismiss the meeting. ”
