Zhang Yunfeng called Wang Chu when he returned to the office, he wanted to finalize the matter as soon as possible, and then launch propaganda against Wang Chu and the Matrix.

The call was quickly connected.

Wang Chu's calm voice came: "Editor-in-chief Zhang? ”

Zhang Yunfeng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart again, the last time Wang Chu forced him to give in on the contract, so that he still had some mustard in his heart.

However, he quickly cleaned up his mood and said with a hint of excitement: "Mr. Chu, the editorial department of our magazine just held a meeting and discussed, and decided to follow the provisions of the contract, your first comic matrix has reached the limit of our newcomer's manuscript fee, so when it is serialized next, your manuscript fee is 3,000 yuan per painting!" ”

This is the first time in the entire comics field that a comic magazine has offered such an extreme manuscript fee to newcomers, reaching 3,000 yuan per draft.

At Wang Chu's current speed, he can paint 30 paintings a day at the earliest, and that day is 90,000 yuan for the manuscript? As high as 2.7 million a month? 30 million a year?

This is already the income of a first-class comic god, Zhang Ziyu just became a great god cartoonist this year, counting the single book and manuscript fee, as well as portrait copyright income, it can be 30 million, and Wang Chu's first book can reach this level...... This is a true book of gods......

Wang Chu was also surprised when he thought of this number, and even a little excited, knowing that he was right to choose Legendary Pictures. He really wanted to shout to all his friends - the local tyrant appeared, and people were stupid and the money came quickly......

In his last life, he drew comics all his life, and at his peak, he paid 500,000 yuan a year, which was already first-class in the industry at that time......

And in this country, not to mention the annual income of 500,000 yuan, the annual manuscript fee of 3 million is only third-rate, the annual manuscript fee of 5 million can barely be regarded as second-rate, and the annual income of more than 10 million is considered a first-class threshold, Zhang Ziyu has barely entered the first-class level!

And those top comic gods, with an annual income of more than 100 million, they not only have the manuscript fee for the first edition of periodicals and single books, but also the income from various derivative copyrights, animation, television, movies, etc.

Wang Chu remembered that there was a news last year, saying that the total income of the first martial arts comic supreme god Yunlong last year exceeded 2 billion, and two companies under it helped him take care of copyright matters.

Hearing Zhang Yunfeng's words, Wang Chu suppressed the emotions in his heart and said with a smile: "Okay, when will it start serializing in the magazine?" ”

Zhang Yunfeng said directly: "The first issue of serialization will start next week, Mr. Chu, how is your manuscript prepared?" I'd like to take a look ahead of time, maybe it can help you. ”

Now Zhang Yunfeng has gambled his career on Wang Chu's comic, so he is very cautious and did not arrange for the editor in charge to follow up, but reviewed it himself. Of course, in fact, he is also eager to see the next plot of the Matrix.

Wang Chu smiled: "I'll send it over tomorrow and send it to you to receive." ”

"Okay, thank you Teacher Chu for your cooperation."

After Zhang Yunfeng finished speaking, the two ended the call, they were both busy people and had no time to chat.

When Wang Chu put down the phone, he also felt some irrepressible excitement in his heart.

His comics are finally going to be serialized in this world, and he is finally about to take the first step, he wants to conquer the entire comics field!

The Matrix, just the first installment!

And the promotion of Legendary Pictures against him was also launched at this moment.

The official website of Legend Pictures used The Matrix as the cover and issued an announcement: The Matrix of Comics has been qualified for serialization, and because of its popularity, the author Mr. Chu will receive a manuscript fee of 3,000 yuan per draft for this comic, congratulations to Mr. Chu for breaking the record of the highest manuscript fee for newcomers in the comic industry!

As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the entire comics field!

Because, this is the highest newcomer manuscript fee in the history of the comic industry.

Major online media have reprinted this announcement of Legendary Pictures and published the fastest report.

"After Legendary Pictures was acquired by Donghuang Entertainment, they finally made a big move, but they didn't start digging up the wall, but offered a newcomer a super high manuscript fee of 3,000 yuan a draft, is the comic work of newcomer Chu Gongzi really worth this price? Or is Legendary Pictures deliberately using this hype, with the intention of buying horse bones to attract more people to contribute? - Comic Information!

"Chu Gongzi's original name is Wang Chu, he was a student of Donghai City No. 1 Middle School, and he was expelled for fighting before, but after the truth was exposed, everyone knew that the school had wronged him, so they were very sympathetic to him. That is, after the fermentation and exposure of this matter, Wang Chu and Zhang Ziyu both had extremely high exposure, which also led to Chu Gongzi's first comic matrix The Matrix attracted the attention of many readers across the country, creating a popularity record for newcomers' works, and gaining 13 million popularity votes in two days! And this kind of popularity has a lot of moisture, and it can't be copied, there is a lot of luck involved, and Legendary Pictures fired him with such a high manuscript fee price with this popularity standard, eighty percent of it will be a loss! "-- Entertainment interrogation!

The reporter of this website interviewed several famous cartoonists, and they all thought that although Chu Gongzi's cartoons were within the level in the early stage and had a lot of suspense, they were not worth the price. The famous suspense cartoonist Maoshan Jiushu thinks that the Matrix set up suspense for the sake of suspense, and it is too scattered, and the things added are too scattered, and it is likely to collapse in the later stage, and he is not optimistic about the follow-up development of the Matrix, and thinks that Legendary Pictures has made a loss-making deal! -- Donghai Entertainment.

………………

Major entertainment and cultural media have reported on this matter, and they are almost unanimously not optimistic about the development of the Matrix, after all, the starting price of newcomers is too high.

Sun Donghu, a well-known comic critic on Weibo, publicly commented on Weibo: "It is undeniable that Chu Gongzi's comic matrix is a good comic and has caused a good response from readers. But after I read it, I feel that there are still many flaws, so the suspense is too deliberate, there are too many mixed elements, it is very scattered, and it is very difficult to control the chaos. This comic, I think it's okay to give the price to a normal newcomer, it's not worth the price of 3,000 yuan at all, it's likely that Legendary Pictures deliberately hyped it, in order to attract the attention of the industry and seek expansion! ”

Sun Donghu is one of the benchmarks in the comic criticism industry, with more than 50 million followers on Weibo, and has published wonderful comments on each comic, which has been supported by the majority of comic fans, and has also been purchased and reprinted by major media.

His comments were supported by a lot of people on Weibo.

"Support everyone's comments, I don't think this Matrix is worth the price!"

"The manuscript fee of 3,000 sketches is too high for newcomers, even if it was Teacher Yi Qing, it was only 1,000 yuan a manuscript back then, and Yunlong newcomers only had 500 sketches when they debuted, and these two are both supreme gods of martial arts, and they are not at the same level as the suspense niche, and the legendary film must be hype."

"Against hype!"

"The Matrix is not a popular martial arts category, but a niche suspense category, at most with a little computer technology, even if this kind of comic is excellent, it is impossible to get this manuscript fee, right? Even if it's the Matrix fire, how hot can it be? Is there a ghost in my family that can fire Uncle Nine? ”

"Uncle Nine's ghost has been serialized for five years, and when this year is about to end, it is only ranked eighteenth in the national popularity ranking, which is the limit of niche comics, but Uncle Nine's manuscript fee is only 8,000 yuan per sketch, why does the Matrix get 3,000 manuscripts?"

"Support everyone Sun and resist the hype."

There are other comic book critics on Weibo, as well as well-known cartoonists, who all think that The Matrix is not worth the price of 3,000 yuan a draft, and they all say that Legendary Pictures is deliberately hyped.

Only Zhang Ziyu publicly supported Wang Chu: "Chu Gongzi's Matrix is the most wonderful suspense science fiction comic I have ever seen, this is not just a comic, but also an in-depth literary work on religion and philosophy, after reading it, I have a new understanding of the world, let alone three thousand, I think the Matrix is worth at least 10,000 sketches, and the price of the legendary film to 3,000 is Chu Gongzi's loss!" ”

Many people ignored Zhang Ziyu's words, because everyone knew that Zhang Ziyu was Wang Chu's girlfriend, which must be an upgraded version of brainless fans and did not have credibility.

Zhang Yunfeng also said publicly on Weibo: "If you haven't watched The Matrix, you will never know how wonderful this work is, and you will never know how terrifying the truth is." The Matrix Comics will be serialized in Legendary Pictures starting next week, and I hope you're all ready for the truth. Perhaps, our world is not what we imagined......"

Many industry acquaintances have expressed contempt for Zhang Yunfeng.

"Wang Po sells melons and boasts!"

"Who wouldn't brag?"

"Every manga author starts boasting that his work is the best ...... in the world"

"How exciting? I don't believe ......"

Only a few readers who like hacking have expressed anticipation.
