The manuscript fee is not much, but there is a good side.

The comics of this world are not like the network of the earth in the previous life.

Here, the copyright of the comics belongs to the author. And in the previous life of the earth's network, the copyright is not the author's.

Owning the copyright, that's key!

If the follow-up development of comics can be popular, such as making a series of Tomie movies like on the earth in the previous life, then these copyright fees alone can be eaten for a lifetime.

Li Ze calculated that the manuscript fee of 18,000 yuan, according to the sharing ratio, he could get 9,000 yuan.

9,000 yuan, which can basically meet the next month's salary of the three employees of Xiami Studio, and the remaining little can be used to buy some daily consumables, and pay a utility bill or something by the way.

The result of the calculation: the manuscript fee of 18,000 yuan is enough to get through the current difficulties.

So Li Ze agreed: "1000 per page is a popular price, I accept it." ”

Tianniu smiled when he heard this, and shook hands with Li Ze: "Say, okay, when the editor-in-chief goes to work tomorrow, I will hand over the manuscript to him, and once it is approved, I will notify you as soon as possible and pay the manuscript fee." ”

Li Ze also smiled and nodded, but asked again: "Please also ask you as soon as possible, because Xiao Ximi's schedule has been very tight recently." I'm worried that your editor-in-chief won't approve the review, right? If we don't pass at that time, it will delay our time to go to other companies, and it will be very troublesome. ”

Tianniu promised Li Ze: "We will notify you within one working day, at most two working days." Moreover, I can tell you that so far, the chance of passing the review is 89% for works that have passed the first review. ”

Back in his single aristocratic apartment, Li Ze took a comfortable bath.

Be comfortable! The mood is comfortable, too!

Since the review pass rate is as high as 89%, it can be said that the manuscript has been as stable as a dog.

The first comic work of Little Shrimp Studio has finally been sold.

It's not easy!

Early the next morning, Li Ze came to his office and reported the good news to the brothers.

There was a cheer in the office.

"Haha!"

"It's been drafted, it's been drafted!"

"Woo woo, I thought we were going to be rejected 101 times."

"It's still the boss who is amazing, our two brothers and sisters painted it by ourselves before, but we didn't get a draft, and as soon as the boss came, we succeeded."

"After the manuscript is released, from this moment on, we can be regarded as real comic book authors."

"Well, there are no released works, and they can only be regarded as self-entertaining sailors...... With the released works, it can be regarded as really entering the comic industry. ”

"What you pay is your own true tears, but the harvest is a flower in the water, this day...... Our sweat and tears have crystallized into the flowers of reality. ”

After making everyone happy for a while, Li Zecai said happily: "Hehe, don't be happy too early, there is still a low probability of review." If the review is not passed by then, then I will be slapped in the face. ”

"Boss, shut up, don't poison milk!"

The slap in the face of Li Ze did not happen, as Tianniu said, the review pass rate of Iwate Bookstore is indeed very high.

At noon, good news came over the phone.

"May I ask if it's Mr. Li from Xiaoxiaomi Comic Studio?"

"Oh, I'm here to inform your studio that your work "Tomie" has officially passed the review and will be published in our magazine, "Iwate Shoten" next week."

"The agreed remuneration, 18,000 yuan has been paid into the account left before, please pay attention to check."

"By the way, there is another question, the signature on your work is Xiao Xiami Comic Studio-Zhou Yu, Zhou Mi works. So when we publish, how should we write a pen name? ”

Pseudonym? That's a real problem!

Li Ze asked Tianniu to wait for a while, and then asked the brother and sister, "What is your pen name?" It's best to have the characteristics of the shrimp studio. ”

As a result, the brother and sister said: "In the past, they were all called Brother Shrimp and Mi Mei, but the new pen name boss decided to do so." ”

So Li Ze decided: Zhou Yu's pen name - Brother Shrimp and Shrimp; Zhou Mi's pen name - Shrimp Mi Mei!

There are both the names of the little shrimp and the pen name elements of the brother and sister, this new pen name, Perfect!

After telling the pen name of Iwate Shoten, hang up the phone.

Well, from this moment on, Li Ze's hanging heart was completely relieved.

Finally, finally, the first manuscript fee of Xiaoxiaomi Comic Studio has arrived!

This is not only the first manuscript fee since Li Ze took over, but also the first manuscript fee in the careers of the two siblings Zhou Yu and Zhou Mi so far.

Significant, okay!

"Ahem, it's finally confirmed, it's really not easy to get the draft." Li Ze sighed, "The comic industry is really much more difficult to mix than I imagined, and even the boss and I once doubted life." ”

Zhou Mi excitedly gave Li Ze a hug, and shouted loudly: "Boss, go!" Go singing in the afternoon, I'm in for a treat! ”

Li Ze only got 9,000, and asked Li Ze to invite a big dinner and sing, so Li Ze was a little reluctant.

But since Zhou Mi has a treat, he must go.

Hehe, eating and singing together, and increasing the relationship with employees are one of the tasks of being a leader.

went out to sing, and when passing by the bank, Li Ze got the first manuscript fee of 18,000 yuan.

gave 9,000 of them to Zhou Yu for safekeeping, and Li Ze himself collected 9,000 yuan.

After getting the first manuscript fee, Li Ze said with a little shame: "It's obviously your works, and your credit, but I took half of the money, I'm really ashamed." ”

Li Ze was about to say that he would reduce his share in the future, but Zhou Mi hurriedly said, "Ashamed? How so? Before you came, boss, we couldn't hold on anymore and were going to give up our comic dreams. ”

"Fortunately, your investment has given us the security of life and we don't have to be kicked out by the landlord. We also found a good partner like Yuzi Manager to take care of our lives. ”

"And as soon as you came, boss, we successfully passed the manuscript and got the manuscript fee, doesn't this show the importance of you, boss?"

"Let's just say this "Fujiang", it is the boss who puts forward the idea, the boss who writes the wonderful script, and the boss who provides us with the idea of painting style, so that we can finish smoothly, it is still the boss!"

"After drawing the original manuscript, it was you, the boss, and Yuzi, together with the manager, who went to so many publishing houses in order to sell our work, and finally succeeded in getting the manuscript through Iwate Bookstore."

"Although you are not a person who draws comics, it can be said that most of this Tomie is due to you, boss!"

"Boss, are you still ashamed when I say that?"

Li Ze was deeply moved, it turned out that he was so important?

"Well, since I'm so important, it's necessary for me to increase my share to 75%......"
