When Wei Mao first received Qian Sheng's call, he was a little surprised.

Although "Girls' Century" is the best girl's comic magazine, it is limited by sales and readership, and "Girls' Century" can only be regarded as a second-tier magazine now, which is much different from Duoman.com, the first comic website in China.

At present, the only comic platform in China that can stabilize the multi-comic network is "Comic Future".

He never thought that he could have a connection with Duoman.com.,Because he drew shoujo comics.com.,Although Duoman.com is a comprehensive magazine.,But shoujo comics are definitely a niche theme.。

Qian Sheng is the editor-in-chief of Duoman.com, and he can call in person, which means that Duoman is very interested in him.

Whether it succeeds or not, there is nothing wrong with meeting each other after all.

Thinking of this, Wei Mao came to the agreed café on the appointed day.

In order to show his sincerity, he deliberately came to the café half an hour early, ordered a cup of coffee, and warmed up.

After drinking one glass, Wei Mao was about to order a second one, when he saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses walking straight towards him.

Wei Mao stared at the middle-aged man, and the other party immediately smiled and bowed slightly to him, and then he concluded that the middle-aged man in front of him was Qian Sheng.

"Editor-in-Chief Qian?" Wei Mao stood up and asked tentatively.

"Teacher Wei, good afternoon, the teacher looks more handsome than on TV, and the star is full of fan." Qian Sheng said with a smile.

"Huh?" Wei Mao was stunned for a moment, his face embarrassed.

He does have a loyal group of readers who support him online, but many more people put the label of "star cartoonist" on him.

Is it really a star?

Wei Mao felt very aggrieved, what a cartoonist is most talked about is not his works, but his appearance and lace news, which is really ironic, but he is helpless, and he is even more powerless to refute, because what is said on the Internet is also true.

In the past year, he has appeared on TV too many times, even more than some TV stars, and just after the New Year this year, several media outlets want to interview him.

He wanted to refuse, but he didn't have the right to refuse.

"Don't bury me. What celebrities are not celebrities? I'm just a cartoonist. Wei Mao smiled awkwardly.

"The teacher's fame in the circle now surpasses that of many well-known cartoonists, teacher, it only took you 2 years, this speed is very exaggerated." Qian Sheng said with a smile.

"I haven't done enough, cartoonists still have to use comics to speak." Wei Mao hurriedly shook his head.

"But fame is also your unique resource." Qian Sheng chuckled.

The waiter walked over, Qian Sheng ordered a cup of milk tea, and put the cotton clothes on the chair.

After the two of them sat down, Wei Maocai asked again: "Editor-in-chief Qian, it doesn't seem that there are too many girl comics in your station, right?" Do you need it? ”

"Absolutely." Qian Sheng shook his head, "We are a comprehensive comic website, and we will not deliberately pursue a certain type of comics. Some of our readers also like to read shoujo manga. Since our magazine is mainly membership-based, users who recharge their membership will also read some different types of comics, not limited to a certain category. ”

"So that's ......" Wei Mao nodded slightly, held the coffee cup in both hands, took a sip, and after putting down the cup, he couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, what is the reason why you asked me out?" ”

"Of course, it's an appointment."

"I still have a manuscript now...... "Warm Full House" is still being serialized." Wei Mao shook his head.

"Can't really think about it? Salary and the like can be negotiable.,And,Like "Girls' Century" shouldn't have a contract that prohibits you from serializing on the outstation, right? Although Qian Sheng was already mentally prepared, he was inevitably a little disappointed when he heard Wei Mao say this.

Wei Mao's popularity is not comparable to other cartoonists.

"There's really no way." Wei Mao shook his head.

He was struggling and knew it was a good opportunity, but ...... He doesn't have a choice now.

On the surface, it looks like a beautiful scenery, what a single book sells 400,000 copies, what a star cartoonist, an idol of female readers...... These are just superficial appearances.

Fan Yinmo paid for his paintings.

Whether it is the sales of a single book, or the copyright of animation, film and television, it has nothing to do with him, because his manuscript was sold for 300 yuan a page long before the whole book was serialized.

Now that "A Warm Full House" is on fire, at his request, Fan Yinmo gave him a page with a 200 yuan increase in the manuscript fee.

40,000 yuan a month, deducting income tax, and then deducting the assistant's expenses, there is basically nothing left, even the suit to participate in the show, he rented it.

There's no way, changing a suit for a show is really too extravagant for him.

It seems that the surface is infinitely beautiful, but he only won the surface and became famous, but in terms of income, it was really poor.

All the origins, in that picture.

"When is the teacher going to finish "Full House"? When you're done, you can consider our station. Our salary may not be too high, we will give you a unit price of 3000 yuan/page, if the work is promoted to the famous hall in the future, you can adjust the subscription, so that the income will be higher. Related copyrights, co-developed. Qian Sheng didn't think that he could directly ask Fan Yinmo to agree, and he also had a back hand when he said it.

“3000？” Wei Mao said in a lost voice.

That's six times his current salary.

"Isn't it enough? That one...... As long as you want, we can do it and talk slowly. Qian Sheng thought that the price he gave was too low, so he quickly changed his words.

Wei Mao was surprised, but he had been on the show a few times, and he didn't have the ability to adapt, and when he saw Qian Sheng answer, he also calmed down, "It's really not a matter of price, "Warm Full House" was only serialized in "Girls' Century", and it is impossible to finish it and end it." ”

Wei Mao replied while thinking about countermeasures and weighing the pros and cons.

Drawing comics is not doing anything else, and it is impossible for him to have time to make extra money. Serializing a new comic means that "Full House" must be finished, otherwise the energy and physical strength will not be able to stand it.

This makes a choice, "Warm Full House" or Duoman.com, which one is more important in his heart.

"Let me ask, what are the standards for other cartoonists?" Wei Mao changed the subject.

"Other cartoonists...... On our website, Mr. Wang Yunze has the highest salary, 30,000 yuan per page, but it is also because he is the best cartoonist in China, except for Mr. Shen, and he is worth this money. ”

The average million sales volume is a dividing line, like "The Legend of the Dragon King", a super-long comic with a length of more than 70 volumes, can still have such an achievement, which is enough to be described as terrifying.

"The other cartoonists are all 15,000 and up." Qian Sheng saw that Wei Mao was silent, so he said again, "I know that Mr. Fu Bo's initial manuscript fee is also very low, and now, "Shengwu Academy" has entered the 'Masterpiece Hall', and its income is among the top ten on the website. It's not that we only give the author a 15,000 yuan per page manuscript fee, but after the cartoonist enters the 'masterpiece hall', he will turn into a subscription, and the income will exceed 15,000 yuan per page. ”

"Famous Shodo?" Wei Mao was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself.

He seems to have said this thing from Qiu Qian.
