Chapter 216: Little Lori also has troubles

Sure enough, after listening to Xiao Lori's words, Ye Yu and Lin Shi'er couldn't help but sigh.

- Lori wants to take a leave of absence.

According to Xiao Lori, she is now a sophomore in high school, and she already feels that she spends too much time in class and homework, and she doesn't have enough time to draw comics, not to mention that she will be in her third year in half a year, and I'm afraid it will be even worse then.

The learning tasks of the third year of high school are heavy, and Ye Yu and Lin Shier both know it.

The questions don't have to be difficult, but they must be too many, in other words - time-consuming and labor-intensive!

Ye Yu had also experienced this in his previous life, so he simply asked for leave and ran away in this life.

Even if Ye Yu helped exchange Ye Yao and Su Xiaomo, who were knowledgeable and well-versed, although they were much better than others, they often needed to do their homework until 9 o'clock. After all, there are so many words in the workbook and test papers, even if you copy the answers, it is not something that can be done quickly.

"I started painting the first volume of Steel Forge on October 27th, and when I finished drawing it all and revised it, it was December 5th, which took about 40 days in total. After that, I started to draw the second volume, because I had the foundation of the first volume, I became more proficient in drawing, and my eldest brother hired three assistants for me, and the second volume took just a month, and it was completed on January 5th. The third volume is still being painted, but I estimate it will take about a month. Little Lori said, remembering when to start painting and when to finish.

It is precisely because of this that the sighs in Ye Yu and Lin Shi'er's hearts are even heavier.

The first volume was released on December 12, and the second volume was released almost half a month ago, on January 10. And now, the little Lori is drawing the third volume.

Generally speaking, a volume of manga is a single book. It's about 180 pages.

If it's done in a month, I have to draw six pages a day, and even with the help of an assistant, Lori's drawing skills are good, and she can draw quickly, and she is even more motivated. But in terms of little Lori's free time, it's really not an easy job.

Lin Shi'er even knew that her sister had been sleeping late late. This is because the final exam is approaching, and the study task is heavier, and the second is because the steel refining has a good response, with results, and after having fan expectations, my sister has more motivation to draw comics.

And this situation, the family also found out. I persuaded it, but my sister, who has always been very obedient, just held paper and pen this time, pursed her mouth, and bowed her head and didn't speak.

Silent protest.

I can't beat it, I can't scold it, and as for persuasion, it's useless, and I even get into trouble with my family because of this incident. My sister has even smiled less during this time.

Dad, he was so angry that he almost ran to Ye's house to find Ye Yu to settle accounts!

- If it weren't for the fact that they knew that this was actually their sister's dream, Ye Yu would have helped her sister realize her dream.

"There is still half a year. I'm about to enter my third year, and I'm afraid I'll have even less time to draw comics. My sister is smarter than me and has better grades than me, but she often does her homework until 10 o'clock. If it were me, I'm afraid I'd have to make it to 11 o'clock. Little Lori said frustratedly.

Ye Yu frowned.

If the problem of little Lori is put in an ordinary family, it is actually very easy to solve. Because her income is horrible.

Generally speaking, there are three types of income for cartoonists.

First, the single-page manuscript fee.

In this regard, Xiao Lori didn't have a penny.

This is because this is the manuscript fee that you get when the manga is published in a manga magazine or on a manga website.

Newcomer authors are generally 200-250 yuan a page, and old authors can generally reach 300-400 yuan a page. Popular authors can generally reach more than 500 yuan, but even if Ye Yu gives 5,000 yuan, a roll of steel refining 180 pages down, that is, 900,000.

Xiao Lori and Ye Yu can only get 450,000 yuan after splitting fifty-fifty, which is still before tax.

As for why Lori doesn't have a penny, it's because Yuye's own comic magazine is being built.

Although many comic magazines and comic websites have come to the door, wanting to cooperate, the price is higher than the other, but they were all rejected by Yuye Company.

Not all comics are eligible to publish a single book, and Yuye Company needs to start its own comic magazine if it wants to accept contributions from other cartoonists and dig out more and better works.

An influential comic magazine with many works serialized is the foundation for the sustainable development of a comic department.

However, for cartoonists, as long as their works are famous, the cost of a single page is very small.

Second, the single line of the manuscript fee.

The average comic artist has the same rate as a writer, which is 8% of the price of a single book, and the top first-class writer can reach 12%.

But don't forget, little Lori and Ye Yu are divided fifty-fifty.

If the partner is not Ye Yu, the proportion of Xiao Lori's manuscript fee is actually very low, after all, she is not responsible for the plot.

But Ye Yu can't be said to take care of Xiao Lori, he, or Yu Ye Company, gives the proportion of the author's manuscript fee is 25%, and Xiao Lori can get 12.5%!

This ratio is absolutely strange in the publishing world.

Yuye company wholesale to the seller is 75% off, that is, to get 75% of the price of a single book, of which, the author's manuscript fee ratio is 25%, the printing cost is 25%, and then the other costs are 5%, and Yuye company only gets about 20%.

Of course, if it is Ye Yu himself, it will be more than 20%, he has 85% of the equity of Yuye Company, and 12.5% of the manuscript fee share, simply calculated, there should be 29.5% before tax.

Ye Yu has read the company's statistical report, and the two volumes of steel refining single books have sold a total of nearly three million copies so far.

A single roll of steel is fifteen yuan, and Xiao Lori gets 1.875 yuan.

Nearly 3 million copies sold means nearly 5.5 million manuscript fees!

And how long has little Lori debuted?

On October 27th, I started to draw steel!

On December 12th, the first volume of steel refining was officially published!

And today is only January 28th, and after drawing the comic for three months, there is a manuscript fee of 5.5 million!

If this manuscript fee is put in an ordinary family, it will be very blinding!

And that's not the main thing!

For a well-known manga, the cost of a single page seems to be very small.

For a god-level comic, the cost of a single manuscript is also very small!

The most important thing is the third article - peripheral copyright income!

Although this part of the copyright, because the company was established for too short a time, has not had time to develop, but its value is huge, can be imagined!

With this kind of income, let alone taking a leave of absence, everything is easy to say!

But little Lori is not from an ordinary family.

The Lin family is rich, powerful, famous, and a scholarly family.

The last two points are too deadly.

The daughter of Vice Minister of Culture Lin Hongzheng and Professor Chen Yanlin, one of the three top writers in China, has a high school diploma?

Ye Yu smiled bitterly.

Although he can help Xiao Lori exchange for two major abilities, just like helping Xiao Yao and Xiao Mo, because he found out that Xiao Lori also appeared in the list two days ago, but is this a big effect?

Ye Yu shook his head secretly.

There are three reasons why I was able to get such a high score before asking for leave, in addition to the ability to redeem it.

First, I learned high school knowledge in my previous life. This world is almost the same as in the previous life, mathematics, science, and English, and the language is almost the same except for reading comprehension and classical Chinese, and even if it is reading comprehension and classical Chinese, the ideas and usage of words are almost the same. I have already experienced high school once, and it is naturally much easier to pick it up again at this time.

Second, although the original owner of the body has average grades, he is still in the review stage of high school knowledge after all.

Third, you have a database in your head, and even if you have a problem that you can't do, you can find similar practice questions and answers in your head.

If you exchange your knowledge, knowledge, and understanding, you don't have to study directly, and Xiao Yao and Xiao Mo won't do their homework every day.

As for Lori, the situation is even more troublesome - she's only in the first semester of her sophomore year of high school!

Not to mention entering the review stage, I haven't even finished my high school knowledge!

Help her exchange abilities, although it can make it easier for her to learn, but want to just not learn?

When pigs fly!!!

"With the conditions of your family, for you, in addition to enriching yourself, education is probably only a decorative role on your face. And Xin'er, you are not a person who does not learn and has no skills, so you can not mention self-enrichment or something. But ......" Ye Yu pondered for a while, and finally sighed and said, "The problem of face is precisely the most difficult hurdle for us Chinese people to overcome, especially a family like yours. ”

Lin Shi'er nodded, and little Lori was silent.

Ye Yu continued: "Two days ago, Yang Lu also discussed the same thing with me. He wanted to take a leave of absence from school and then go to the Yuye company to help. Yang Lu's problem is easier to solve, after all, his family is a merchant family, and what he wants to do is a merchant business. Xin'er, your problem is a little troublesome. ”

Seeing that little Lori lowered her head and didn't speak, Ye Yu smiled and asked, "If I and your sister don't agree to your suspension of school, will you obediently go back to school?" Will you cut off this idea of taking a break from school and never think about it again? ”

Little Lori was silent and shook her head.

Lin Shi'er smiled bitterly and sighed: "That's true." ”

Ye Yu said: "Let's go talk to Uncle Lin and Aunt Chen, they are all a family, what can't you say?" If you're worried, I'll go with you. ”

"But, but ......" Lori raised her head, hesitating.

Ye Yu rubbed her hair with a smile and said, "Besides, with your little care, can you hide it from Uncle Lin?" He probably saw it earlier. ”

As soon as these words came out, little Lori was startled, but soon, she realized that what the eldest brother said was probably true, and even her sister didn't show much surprise just now, and her father must have guessed it a long time ago. As for mom, it should be the same.

"Let's go, let's go back. I'll go with you to see it. Ye Yu said.
