Next chapter
The light melody is melodious in the music café, and the beating notes outline a pure picture in the hearts of the listeners.
This is a classic piano song, "Snow Dreams".
Yang Linfei, Nakamura Yamato and others felt that they were dreaming at the moment, and their eyes followed the tip of the pen and quickly wandered on the paper.
Mai Xiaoyu sat there quietly, a pen and a piece of paper...... Silently create a zào miracle.
The pen stops, and the drawing is completed.
Naruto, Volume 2, Chapter 8, Page 1.
"Can you prove it now?" Mai Xiaoyu asked indifferently as he showed up his unfinished sketch.
No one answered.
Nakamura Yamato endured the tens of thousands of grass and mud horses whistling in his heart, took the sketch, and compared it with the previous draft of "Hokage".
Due to Mai Xiaoyu's impromptu intention, he did not use a special pen for comics and original paper, and the picture was somewhat out of shape. But it doesn't matter, the style, style, and story coherence on the paper have fully proved that Mai Xiaoyu is the original creator of "Naruto"!
"I'm sorry, please forgive us for being disrespectful. The interpreter conveyed Yamato's apologies.
"It doesn't matter, strict verification is a professional expression. Can you talk about signing now?"
Absolutely!
Shueikai sent Nakamura Yamato to Huaxia in order to sign "Naruto". Before coming, the editor-in-chief gave a death order, as long as Maizi is sure that he is the original creator, he will not hesitate to win "Hokage"!
There is no shortage of treatment in Shuying Club, even if it is a Chinese, Mai Xiaoyu can enjoy the same treatment as Japanese comic authors.
In terms of manuscript fees, Shuei Kaisha offered a high price of 6,000 yen per page, which is equivalent to 750 Chinese yuan per page at an exchange rate of 1:8. In the current Chinese comics industry, no comic book author can get such a high remuneration.
However, Mai Xiaoyu refused without hesitation: "I don't want to go around in circles, this price is too low." ”
It's not low!
In Japan, the first place in the Tezuka Award, which is organized by Shueikai for newcomers to shonen story manga, can get such a high manuscript fee. 6,000 yen per page is arguably the highest fee for a newcomer to Japanese manga.
"15,000, no two prices. Mai Xiaoyu was too lazy to bargain, and directly showed the reserve price.
"No way, this is the treatment of a first-line cartoonist!"
"I think you'll agree. ”
When he chose "Naruto" to participate in the "Long Love" rookie competition, it was the result of Mai Xiaoyu's careful consideration.
The ninja culture in "Naruto" is the quintessence of Japan and unique in the world.
The Japanese have a strong sense of national pride and pride, how can they sit idly by and watch their national quintessence and culture be written in the hands of foreigners?
In case "Hokage" is successful, it will be sold overseas under the operation of Huaxia Publishing House, and Naruto fans in Europe and the United States will talk about this manga......
"Hi Mike, have you read a really nice ninja manga lately?"
"Oh, you mean Naruto?"
"Yes, it's a ninja. ”
"Of course I did! I just knew that Huaxia's ninjas were also so powerful!"
"No, no, no, kung fu is Chinese, and ninja is Japanese. ”
"Are you sure? Then why is it Huaxia Publishing House that publishes ninjas?"
Who is the most embarrassed in case of this situation?
"Mr. Maizi, you can't do this. "The interpreter is in a hurry," your country has suffered similar injuries. Have you forgotten that your country's Dragon Boat Festival culture has been successfully inscribed on the World Heritage List by a certain country? How can you do such a cruel thing?"
"I can't bear to do that, but you need to show your sincerity. One more thing, your company and Kodansha are competitors, aren't they?"
On the bright side, "Naruto" was disqualified from the "Long Love" rookie competition, and one of the organizers of this competition was Kodansha, on the grounds that Mai Xiaoyu was impersonated.
Now it has been proven that Mai Xiaoyu is the original author, and once Shuei Club serializes this manga on its "Shonen Jump", what impact will it have on Shuei Club and Kodansha...... Hehe.
In fact, this is also a key consideration for Shuying Club.
But this cannot be a reason for 15,000 yen/page, the price is too high. ”
It's time for me to play!
Yang Lin did not grasp the opportunity and spoke at the right time.
He said that Feiyang Publishing House is very optimistic about "Naruto" and firmly believes that this manga will be able to generate huge profits in the future. Jiying Club couldn't accept Mai Xiaoyu's offer, he could.
As he spoke, Yang Linfei took out a contract in a fake manner. Anyway, Nakamura and his assistant couldn't read it, and the only translator who could understand it was busy translating for Nakamura and didn't have time to read it carefully.
The Japanese side was furious.
What kind of mess are you making, we are now negotiating with Mr. Maizi, and we have not interrupted the negotiations because of the manuscript fee!
Mai Xiaoyu spoke again: "Don't worry, this is only the first condition, I still have the second condition." ”
One and a half million!
Mai Xiaoyu never forgot 1.5 million!
It's not a yen, it's a Chinese currency!
To compensate for the losses he suffered due to injustice in the game.
"This is ridiculous! We deeply regret the injustice you suffered in the "Long Love" Rookie Competition, but this matter has nothing to do with us, why should we bear your losses?" Nakamura Yamato flatly refused.
"Because you're all Japanese. ”
This logic is even more ridiculous! The matter of manuscript fees can be discussed, which is absolutely impossible. ”
"What if you add this?"
Mai Xiaoyu took out his mobile phone, pressed the play button, and the voice of Li Gang, the editor-in-chief of "Long Love", came out of the mobile phone.
It was Liu Tao who cooked for him for the first time that night, and Li Gang called to dive into his recording.
The level of translation is limited, and I can't do simultaneous interpretation, so I can only use the fastest speed to try to translate every sentence to Nakamura, but it still falls, and Nakamura frowns when I hear it.
What's the use of this thing?
Hey?
Nakamura was stunned for a moment, he heard the voice of his compatriot.
He recognized that voice as an overseas executive of Kodansha!
Disgrace!
Disgrace to the Yamato nation!
But why am I so happy?
Good stuff!
At the end of the recording, Nakamura subconsciously grabbed his mobile phone, Mai Xiaoyu flashed easily, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "My compensation." ”
"Nakamura's editor-in-chief can't be the master in this matter, he needs to consult the country. The translator conveys Nakamura's meaning.
"Please, but only for today, my time is precious. ”
The Japanese were very efficient, perhaps because of the importance of the matter, but twenty minutes later, Nakamura returned, his calm expression hiding a faint excitement.
"The president said, no matter what the cost, the recording and "Naruto" must be obtained today. When you talk to him, don't promise him directly, and keep the price as low as possible. ”
This is Nakamura's original words, in Japanese.
The translator's eyes rolled, and the Chinese that came out of his mouth was like this: "Mr. Maizi, I believe that the recording in your hand is of limited use and does not match your asking price. In order to show our sincerity, we will make the greatest concessions, and the manuscript fee is 9000 per page, plus 500,000 cash, in exchange for the recording in your hand. ”
However, as soon as Mai Xiaoyu spoke, everyone present was stunned.
He spoke in Japanese, proficient Japanese: "Don't challenge my patience, and don't insult my intelligence, or you'll regret it." ”
