Chapter 36: Serialization and Ambition

After the negotiation of Liang Hong and the four of them, the Burning Band really agreed to the invitation, and readily expressed their willingness to join the Dawn Music Studio, in addition to continuing their music dreams, in fact, this decision also has the meaning of realizing their dreams.

Entertainment company contracts have always been very harsh, and there have been many conflicts in time and space, and many artists have set up their own studios after becoming famous.

This time and space is similar, but although Wei Zhe has learned from the past, Zheng Xiao's contract is still very loose, except that he doesn't want to squeeze artists because of his own experience, in fact, the current Dawn Studio does not have such strength.

Now whether it is Zhang Yao or the Burning Band, they are all sharing the hardships with Daybreak Studio, and they should have supported each other, and it is a bit redundant to say this.

Write out the song and record it, a month of shijie passed quietly, Zheng Xiao also began to be busy looking for someone to shoot the MV, before the release of the new issue of "The King of Picture Books", Zhang Yao also received a package from the editorial department.

Because he was in class most of the time, Zhang Yao directly filled in the school address, and as soon as the package arrived, Ai Xiaoqi grabbed it and said, "I'll take a look at it first." ”

Throwing aside privacy or something, Ai Xiaoqi opened the package directly, there was a sample issue inside, and then there was a contract, she was very surprised when she saw it: "Your comics have really been published." ”

"Isn't that nonsense?"

"Light Girl" is also a classic.,Four beautiful girls forming a band is a favorite story in this time and space.,The story style is very good.,If you can't publish it, it's a problem with the editing ability of "The King of Picture Books.。

"It seems like this contract is only for the comics, not for you?"

Ai Xiaoqi picked up the contract and looked at it, she was not very interested, she glanced at it and threw it back to Zhang Yao, Zhang Yao said: "This is also normal, I am a newcomer and not very popular, and it is difficult to say whether the quality is stable or not, how can I sign a contract with me directly." ”

Pick up the contract and take a closer look, there are a lot of rules and regulations, in addition to the provisions are exclusive serialization, there is also the right to distribute a single book, etc., it feels a bit harsh, but it is also an industry standard, after confirming that there is no major problem, Zhang Yao still signed it happily.

The manuscript fee is also very clear, the price of four-panel comics is lower than that of ordinary comics, and he is a newcomer and has to be discounted, each is only two hundred yuan.

In fact, the majority of the cartoonist's income is in the single book, and the contract also states that if the single line is published, he can get 8% of the royalty, and if there is no popularity, he should not think about the single book.

In the past, he studied comics just to reduce pressure, and he never thought about contributing, so he didn't know what the original time and space comics were paid, and from all aspects, two hundred yuan per piece should be much better.

When Zhang Yao signed the contract, Ai Xiaoqi crackled and flipped the magazine back, and the newcomer's new work could naturally only be the bottom part, and even there was only one line of small print on the cover, and the new work was published by a light-sounding girl.

There's not even a character picture.,Almost no one cares about such a recommendation.,The cover is almost occupied by the comics of the eleventh district.,In fact, it's so thick that you can drop your toes and dislocate the "Picture Book King",Two-thirds of the content is Japanese comics.。

If there is no Japanese comic,Magazine sales are estimated to drop by more than two-thirds,The front space is almost occupied by Japanese comics,Color pages are divided some,But there is a lot of reason why the magazine wants to support domestic cartoonists。

"It's not in Zuihou, but it's not too close, and it seems that it's hard for readers to notice."

Ai Xiaoqi's expression was a little disappointed, but Zhang Yao, the author, persuaded her: "If a newcomer's new work can be published, it will already be a success, and it will not be a problem to occupy a good layout when it accumulates popularity." ”

"Readers will definitely read their favorite manga before reading the new work, and it seems that it will take a long time to wait for the results of the reader's investigation, that is, a month later."

The reader survey is sent with the magazine, and then it will be announced in the next issue, and "The King of Picture Books" is a monthly magazine, so it naturally takes a month.

The animation market in District 11 is very mature, and comic magazines are basically weekly, including those published in "The King of Picture Books", but cartoonists in District 11 are already in a hurry, and some pit kings are closed at every turn, plus it takes time to send them to China and translate, so monthly magazines are reliable.

"There's no such thing as an overnight thing, you just wait and see, the light girl can not only be on the front page, but it will also be animated in the future, that's when the popularity bursts."

Zhang Yao himself is full of confidence, and he can also take care of the song creation in the animation of "Light Sound Girl" in the future, and he has also performed countless songs in the original TV animation, and he is also very familiar.

Well, although I used to work hard to learn Japanese and anime songs, in addition to my own love for anime, there was also a reason to cheat the house money in order to go to the comic exhibition, which is not commendable, but now it is also an advantage.

It's just that the original version is a Japanese song, which seems like a nuisance. Forget it, it's not time to think about that.

"Should I say it's your good will, or should I say it's a pipe dream?"

Ai Xiaoqi couldn't help complaining again, and said: "Except for some old comics, there are not many domestic comics that can be adapted into animation, and these cartoonists who are now the king of painting books have never had this treatment, and I am afraid it is a little difficult for you to open a new river." ”

"It's mainly because the question is not very suitable."

Zhang Yao thought about it and said: "Domestic comics are all four-panel funny comics that are popular now, and there is no connection between each picture at all, no matter how popular it is, it is enough to adapt it, and other types that meet the requirements are not only painting scum, but also the plot is rotten, and there is no popularity at all." ”

"This is only one of the reasons, and domestic animation production companies are really not good."

Ai Xiaoqi continued: "Although animation companies are everywhere, most of them are OEM, and you know what the virtues of the original animation that some big companies cheat money around, and even if you put haode comics in their hands, they will be messed up." ”

"That's the same.,It seems that if you want to animate, you can only enter the market in District 11."

Talking about anime feels similar to talking about the national football team, the more I talk about it, the more sad it becomes, Zhang Yaobai was bored and lying on the table, Ai Xiaoqi glanced at him with contempt, and said: "Forget it, I'm really too lazy to hit your boundless fantasies, Guoman wants to counterattack Japanese manga, unless Shangmeiying is still at its peak, it's almost the same, but unfortunately Shangmeiying is also half-dead now." ”

"Wait, hasn't Shangmei Shadow been completely hung up?"

After saying this, Zhang Yao remembered that the Shangmei Movie of the two time and space must be different, and he didn't know what the ending of the Shangmei Movie in the original time and space was, anyway, he had never seen a work with Shangmei Film.

"Shangmei Film also made an animation about music last year, but the response was not good, even if it didn't hang, it should be about the same."

In this way, if you want to keep up with Meiying, it seems that you can only pray that they can survive until "Light Girl" accumulates enough popularity.
