Chapter 11 Is There Such a Thing in the Little Black Room of the Cartoonist?

For Lin Yi, the fact that the manga artist named Anda failed to serialize was just a trivial matter.

The most important thing now is the signing of your own comics.

Led by Junko Machida, he and Junko Machida came to the door of a small cubicle on the left side of the editorial office and stopped.

"No, this is the little black room where the cartoonists who dragged their manuscripts were imprisoned." Junko Machida pointed to this cubicle and looked at Lin Yi seriously and said, "Until the manga artist finishes it, it will be detained all the time, and the manga artist who will provide us with meals until the manuscript is delayed." ”

?????

Lin Yi was stunned when he heard Junko Machida's words.

Could it be that the little black house of the editorial department that he has always seen from the anime really exists?

"Really?" Lin couldn't help but speak.

Is it true that cartoonists are such a dangerous industry?

"Hahaha!" Looking at Lin Yi's appearance as if he was in belief, Junko Machida couldn't help laughing: "Just kidding, just kidding, isn't this the one I watched before Mr. Haicheng, you were afraid that you would be scared when you encountered that scene, so you want to make your mood recover?" ”

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at the other party.

Can this be called recovery?

But then his heart rose again.

I saw that Machida Junko suddenly leaned into his ear and lowered his voice and said, "The real little black house won't be in this place, otherwise it will be discovered by the police all of a sudden?" If you want to know the location of the real little black house, you can try to drag the draft~"

After saying that, she still blinked her eyes, showing an expectant expression.

This made Lin, who originally didn't plan to believe it anymore, hesitate at first, is it true?

It's just that after seeing the smile that couldn't be hidden at the corner of the other party's mouth, Lin Yi sighed helplessly: "Don't make trouble." ”

He can see that although Junko Machida in front of him looks similar to the cold strong woman in those TV series, her actual personality is much worse than her appearance.

"Sorry, sorry, rude, let's go inside!" Junko Machida also put away her joke and walked in with Lin Yi: "Please take a seat." ”

Seeing Lin Yi sitting in his position, Junko Machida poured Lin Yi a cup of coffee and looked at Lin Yi: "Ahem, the previous ones were all jokes, now back to the topic, about Mr. Haicheng, your work ......"

Her face became serious, which also made Lin serious at first.

"I've already read your submission, and to be honest, it's very good! Whether it is the style of painting or the composition, there is a high level. ”

"Thank you Machida editors for your recognition." Hearing Junko Machida's praise, Lin Yi also had a smile on his face.

You know, he didn't copy everything in his mind, but made certain changes according to himself.

For example, the style of painting.

Although I don't know how to add progress bars to those comics in my mind at the moment, even if I am original in the future, it needs a unified art style.

For example, he will draw a Doemon style, a Saiyan style, and a beautiful manga style, so it is difficult not to wonder if he has someone ghostwriting.

The painting style of those manga artists in the previous life is basically the same, for example, Makoto Shinkai, although he is not a manga artist, but the characters in his works can also be seen that the overall painting style is still the same, and the same is true of Miyazaki's anime painting style, which can be seen at a glance that it is Miyazaki's.

Therefore, the change of painting style is the key, which is why Lin Yi wanted to see Kitagawa Yui's little feet before, he wants to draw his own painting style, otherwise she can completely draw the original cartoon in her mind to Yihulu.

So after hearing Junko Machida's praise, it is natural that Linyi's mood will improve.

After all, no one doesn't like to be praised by others after their efforts.

"But ......" At this time, Machida Junko's words began to take a turn: "Although you are really good at drawing, Mr. Haicheng, you are still a newcomer, so the price given by our publishing house is 11,000 yen per manuscript, I don't know what Mr. Haicheng wants to say?" ”

After speaking, she looked at Lin Yi.

After all, according to what his predecessors said, it is not without some cartoonists in the past that they think their drawings are very good, so they want a higher remuneration.

She was a little worried that Lin Yi was also such a person, if this was really the case, it was estimated that she would have to pull with the other party for a while, and it was not impossible to even break up unhappily in the end.

She was very optimistic about the manga, so she didn't want the ending to be like this.

"Yes, I'm fine." Lin Yi's tone was very steady, but he didn't feel that the remuneration was very small.

After all, he is just a newcomer, is it possible that he still wants to challenge the rules of this industry?

And before coming here, he also asked his girlfriend Yui Kitagawa to ask her friend about the price in the industry.

11,000 yen per page is not top-notch, but it's a mid-to-high price.

If there were other publishers that weren't very famous, it would be a great blessing for the newcomer's manga to be able to give three to five thousand yen.

Lin Yi gave the first three words this time, each sentence is twenty pages, that is, sixty pages are converted into -

660,000 yen.

This is not a small amount, you must know that according to the average salary on TV this year, the average monthly salary in the island country is only 442,100 yen.

One week, four months a month, as long as he doesn't get cut in half, he can get a bonus of 1 million yen, which is quite a lot.

And that's just the price at which the original manuscript was sold, not counting the money that might be sold in the future for a single book and an animated script.

As long as he can stabilize and continue serialization, it is not too much to say that the future is promising.

"Really? Then Mr. Haicheng will sign it, and the serialization will start next week. Hearing Hayashiichi's promise, Junko Machida handed over a contract.

Lin Yi took the contract and looked at it roughly, and after finding no problems, he directly signed his pen name and real name.

In this way, he and Maya Pavilion can be regarded as reaching a consensus.

Junko Machida, who had been watching his actions on the side, also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she is a rookie editor, and she doesn't want her first work to leave because of the price.

"Thank you, Mr. Haicheng, please give me more advice from now on!" Junko Machida put the contract away, stood up and stretched out her right hand.

Lin Yi reacted, and also held the other party's hand.

Well, it's slippery, but it's not as good as its own Kitagawa Yui.

"I hope that our cooperation will continue in the future." Lin Yi also opened politely.
