019 lengthened serialization
ps: Thank you Li Bao for the reward of 3-10 coins
"Male?" Qi Heng looked at Lu Ge suspiciously.
Lu Ge nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Uncle Qi, don't look at Lu Ge's beauty, he is actually a boy." An Xiaoshi, who couldn't hold back a smile, also explained on the side.
"Man~~~~" Qi Heng felt a little pity in his heart.
The comic industry in the Shenghua Empire is thriving, and 14 or 5-year-old genius cartoonists have grabbed a lot of them, although not all of them can draw pictures beyond the times like this and can indeed bring commercial value, but there are many people like Lu Ge who have won awards in competitions held by the three major comic clubs at such an age.
"Genius Young Manga Artist"? This is no longer an eye-catching gimmick, and in this era, even the titles of "beautiful cartoonist" and "girl cartoonist" have made the major comic clubs a little aesthetically fatigued.
Only the "genius beautiful girl" has appeared less in recent years because the conditions are too harsh, which has a little news value.
"Editor-in-Chief Qi, I know what you think, but after all, comics still rely on drawings and stories, as a comic author, he should make a dignified debut and become famous with his strength, and it is really inappropriate to do too many other crooked things." Anjo sat next to him with a serious way.
(Fame by strength alone is how difficult it is in today's era of comics, which are full of geniuses.) Qi Heng glanced at An Cheng and shook his head, but he didn't say the idea.
Since the matter has fallen through, there is really no need to say such ruinous words.
"Well, what Editor-in-Chief An said makes sense, Lao Qi, I have indeed fallen behind." Qi Heng nodded with a smiling face, turned his head and praised Lu Ge, "Lu Ge can draw such good-looking comics at such a young age, and your future in the comics industry is limitless."
When your first comic is serialized, you will show your strong strength, and when the time comes, all of us will call Lu Gexiao a teacher. ”
The senior teachers of the entire comic industry are ranked according to their strength, and the strength of a comic author is mainly in the single book on sale, as well as various levels of awards undertaken or co-organized by the Comics Association.
"Here, Lu Ge, this is the manuscript fee of 50,000 yuan for your first two comics." Qi Heng took out a thick red envelope from his pocket and handed it into Lu Ge's hand with his own hands.
"50,000 yuan." Lu Ge was a little surprised, this Qi Heng was really willing to do it.
Although the quality of "Sakura Copy" is indeed high, even if Qi Heng takes out 200,000 300,000, Lu Ge thinks it should be.
But according to the remuneration of writers in the general comic industry of the Shenghua Empire:
Newcomer comics are 300-350 yuan per page, and old people are 600-700 yuan per page, which is 24 pages per word because of the layout regulations of comic magazines, but Lu Ge's "Sakura Copy" is only 20 pages per word because of the length of the plot.
Of course, each comic club has its own reward mechanism because it wants to promote the author to move forward, and the rewards for the top three are basically between 400 and 300 yuan per page.
(The above criteria only apply to comics serialized in the main issue of the manga company.) )
If Lu Ge's serialized "Sakura Copy" is calculated according to the maximum amount, you can get a manuscript fee of 44,000 yuan at most (according to the real environment, no matter how good your first comic is and how much benefit it brings, those ordinary comic clubs will generally not give you this manuscript fee. )
"Editor-in-Chief Qi should have something going on." Lu Ge did not immediately accept the 50,000 yuan red envelope.
After all, his real age is not what it seems.
"Uh......" Qi Heng paused, he didn't expect that the immature teenager opposite would have such insight into human feelings at such a young age.
"Actually, this is the case, the sales of the magazine driven by "Sakura Copy" have increased a lot, so we want to ask if there is a plot behind "Sakura Copy". Ancheng didn't have as much thought as Qi Heng, and said directly.
Hearing An Cheng's impartiality, there was no intention in his words to persuade the young man on the other side to continue the serialization, Qi Heng was a little anxious, and hurriedly added: "Little classmate Lu Ge, I have read your short comic many times, and I think it has completely developed into a novella... Uh, no, it's the potential of a long story, serialized for dozens, preferably hundreds of words, as long as the reader wants to continue reading, then keep serializing.
Although after the end of your comic, the "Starry Sky" you handed in before was also good, but I read that comic, and it was not as easy as this comic to expand into a long chapter. ”
"Editor-in-Chief Qi means that I want to continue to serialize "Sakura Copy"?" Lu Ge confirmed.
"Hmm." Qi Heng replied.
"Well, that's no problem, there is still a story behind "Sakura Copy" that has not been finished, and the overall name of this comic was originally "Five Centimeters per Second". Lu Ge said, only then did he accept 50,000 yuan.
"How many words will there be." Qi Heng eagerly asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Nine words." Lu Ge took a sip of tea and said, "It's three separate and independent, but somewhat connected short stories, one with three words, and a total of nine words." ”
"Nine words? Why can't it be longer if there are only nine words? Qi Heng asked.
"Editor-in-Chief Qi, artificially lengthening the length of the comic because of commercial needs, the plot may become more and more unsatisfactory, and in the end, readers will gradually not buy it." An Cheng said with a frown next to him.
"The story of this manga is only so long, so I can only say that I am looking forward to my next manga." Lu Ge shook his head firmly.
In order to shoot "Five Centimeters per Second", Makoto Shinkai specially immersed himself in the environment (travel), listened to music, released inspiration, and maintained a literary and relaxed mentality to write ten short stories, and finally because of the space problem, he carefully selected 3 deeply related stories from these ten small stories as the plot blueprint of "Second Speed".
Among them, the mysterious mood, as well as the inspiration that touches the scene and bursts out occasionally, the twists and turns that Lu Ge can't reach with any amount of time, and tampering with the plot at will will only destroy the charm of it, Lu Ge will never do this kind of thing.
"Huh~~ Okay, I'm looking forward to Lu Ge's next comic, in fact, after "Second Speed", it's not bad to serialize "Starry Sky" again." Qi Heng sighed, there are nine words, as for the future, let's talk about it later.
As for Lu Ge's unknown next comic, Qi Heng really didn't have much hope, after all, over the years, he had seen too many blockbusters and unknown people.
Many comic book authors are just a comic for a lifetime, and the young author in front of him is unwilling to seize this opportunity, and he has nothing to do.
Then they were talking about something else, and then they went their separate ways.
After all, everyone is someone who has something to do.
Lu Ge is a student, and they will have to study at night in the evening, as for Ancheng, as the editor-in-chief, they naturally have endless things.
It's just that in between, after sending Qi Heng away, An Cheng stayed behind to talk to Lu Ge about the serialization of "Starry Sky".
Because of the influence of "Sakura Copy", many editors-in-chief of the nine major comic clubs have set their sights on the serialization rights of "Star Sky".
After listening to An Cheng's words, Lu Ge decisively shook his head and refused.
It's not time to talk about serializing "Starry Sky" now, and when the serialization of "Second" is finished, with the power of "Second" serialization, "Starry Sky" can appreciate to an ideal position.
