Chapter 16: Miyamoto's Sincerity (Part II)
PS: It's a new week, and I'm on Sanjiang again, and I still need everyone's support, I want to see if I can get to the top of the new book list. I urgently need the recommendation votes in everyone's hands, and the brothers and sisters who have collected this book can give me one vote a day! The lone wolf is here to go ahead with everyone. This is the third update.
Su Aijun sighed slightly in his heart, after reading this contract, he felt that this was a reasonable transaction negotiation, not a transaction of forced buying and selling. Compared with the contract that Sun Lan took out, the contract brought by Miyamoto Zheichi is undoubtedly much more generous. The attitude is also much fairer. Su Aijun felt that such a result was acceptable. After all, this is the first time Fang Mingyuan has cooperated with the other party, and he is a fledgling novice, so it is already very good to be able to get such conditions.
"Mr. Miyamoto, I have a few questions I want to ask." Fang Mingyuan cleared his throat and said.
"Fang Jun, please speak." Miyamoto took out a notebook from his briefcase and found a pen, obviously to record Fang Mingyuan's request. Fang Mingyuan and Su Aijun looked at each other, just this one move, Miyamoto Orichi gave people a great impression.
"The first question, if I sign a contract with your company, can you help me contact a few painting assistants to come to China for a period of time. First, it is to help me complete those auxiliary work, and secondly, it is also to help me train a few assistants from my own country. I still have my studies, so I'm working on my own, which is a bit stressful. After all, my family can't allow me to miss my studies because of this. Fang Mingyuan said solemnly, "Of course, I will pay them the corresponding salary." ”
Japan's huge manga industry has led to the emergence of many excellent manga artists in Japan. Since the works of Japanese manga artists are usually serialized regularly in manga magazines, their work is relatively hard. Many Japanese manga artists have assistants to assist them in their creations. In general, the story is structured, and the drawing of the main characters is done by the cartoonists themselves; The details such as the description of the crowd and the background, the blacking out of the original manuscript, and the pasting of dot paper are performed by assistants. In this way, the work pressure of the cartoonist can be reduced.
Although Fang Mingyuan remembers the story, plot, and even the original paintings of "Youyou Baishu" clearly, all he needs to do is to turn them from his mind into a realistic sketch, but this is still a huge project, which makes Fang Mingyuan a little daunted. It took him a long time to finish the previous drawings. Now, if he has a contract and has to contribute every month, he has very limited time to spare. This is clearly unacceptable to him.
Miyamoto was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized that he also understood the current situation of the Chinese comic industry, and he naturally understood Fang Mingyuan's proposal. "Fang Jun, this point is not considered by our magazine, I didn't expect that Fang Jun was in China, which is very different from my country's cartoonists. In this way, in order to show the sincerity of our company, our company can provide Fang Jun with three months of assistants to come to China, if after three months, Fang Jun still has not found a suitable replacement, then their salaries will be paid by Fang Jun. However, I thought that at that time, Yi Fang Jun's income was not a big burden. Fang Jun, are you satisfied with this? ”
Satisfied, can you still be satisfied, Fang Mingyuan is already happy in his heart. This Miyamoto folds one, and sure enough, everything is considered quite thoughtful for you. In my last life, I heard that those top magazines in Japan take care of the ace authors in the club from life to work, and even work such as the author going out to book tickets and hotels can be arranged by the staff of the magazine. Today, it seems that this rumor is somewhat true.
"Mr. Miyamoto, although this is a bit hurtful to everyone's harmony, I have to remind you that when choosing an assistant, please look for those who are good friends with Huayou, I don't want everyone to affect everyone's cooperation in the future because of some political factors." Fang Mingyuan said in as tactful a tone as possible.
Miyamoto nodded. "Fang Jun is very thoughtful. I admit that many of my citizens are not friendly to your country, but I would also like to believe that there are also leftists like me in my country. I will carefully consider it when choosing an assistant for Fang Jun. If Fang Jun is not satisfied with them, our club can re-recommend Fang Jun. ”
"The second question, is the salary you pay me in yen, or in Chinese dollars, or in dollars?" Fang Mingyuan's second question was somewhat unexpected by Miyamoto Orichi.
He put down his pen and thought for a moment and said, "This ...... Under normal circumstances, of course, the payment paid by our company to the author is in Japanese yen, and considering that Fang Jun is a Chinese, we can convert it into Chinese dollars at the exchange rate at that time. However, in this case, there will be some changes in the approximate amount of Fang Jun's manuscript fee every month. ”
"If I hope that your company can help me convert the manuscript fee into US dollars or some European currency payment, can I do that?" Fang Mingyuan then asked.
"There is no problem with this in principle, that is, Fang Jun, you must take into account the changes in the exchange rate, and it is best not to change the currency frequently. If the amount is larger, Fang Jun may need to pay a handling fee, of course, Fang Jun, please don't get me wrong, this is handed over to our bank. "Compared with China, in Japan in the late 80s, it was already very convenient to exchange currency, so Miyamoto Orichi agreed very happily.
Su Aijun glanced at Fang Mingyuan, what does this kid want dollars? However, in front of Miyamoto Orichi, he naturally didn't want to ask too much.
"This third question is also a very important one."
"Fang Jun, please speak." Miyamoto couldn't help but feel a little nervous. From the conversation just now, he had already heard that Fang Mingyuan was quite satisfied with the terms of the contract, if these problems could be properly solved, Fang Mingyuan was likely to sign a contract with "Juvenile Monthly".
"Mr. Miyamoto, since it is a negotiation, then we are villains before gentlemen. I hope that the arbitration and trial of liability for breach of contract in the contract can be changed to China. Mr. Miyamoto should be aware that it is not convenient for our citizens to travel to Japan on non-official business, on the one hand, because there are some restrictions in our system, and on the other hand, there are also many restrictions in your country. So if there was any dispute, I couldn't go to Japan in time. However, in China, it is quite easy for you to come to China to file a lawsuit or request arbitration. Moreover, I believe that with the current attitude of the Chinese government towards the affairs of your country, you do not need to worry that our arbitration institutions and courts will be biased in my favor. I wonder if Mr. Miyamoto will be able to agree? ”
Miyamoto pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "Fang Jun, I admit that what you said is very reasonable. Although we don't want this kind of unpleasant situation to happen, Fang Jun's sentence is very reasonable, we should put the villain first and then the gentleman, which is also to safeguard the reasonable and legitimate rights and interests of both of us. It's just that changing this point to China is not something I can decide right now, and I have to consult with the community to be able to give you a definite answer. Why don't we put this article aside for the time being, Fang Jun, please continue. ”
At nearly eleven o'clock in the evening, when Su Aijun sent Miyamoto to the hotel, Miyamoto was already full of joy. Except for the location of the arbitration institution and the court, the two parties have not yet reached a consensus, and the two parties have reached an agreement on the details of the rest of the terms. He had a hunch that tomorrow might be a very important day in his life for him......
PS: All the brothers who were on the shelves and recommended during the shijie cup are probably very depressed, this is the prime time to earn data, but it is not as good as the morning! Looking at the poor growth of clicks, favorites, and recommendations, I want to roar, for the sake of me giving up the shijie cup, and smash the ticket over!
