CHAPTER XXVII
Lin Yi and Kitagawa Yui didn't continue to make trouble.
Instead, they returned to their previous appearances, and Lin Yi went to open the door: "What's the matter, Miss Junko, isn't the manuscript for you?" ”
"Tell me something." Junko Machida smiled, and then followed Lin Yi inside.
After sitting in the chair, she went straight to the point and took out some documents from her bag: "No, sign it." ”
"What?" Lin Yi picked it up and looked at it with some surprise: "This is a B-level contract?" ”
He was indeed a little surprised, knowing that he was a rookie now, and he signed a D-rank rookie contract, and as a result, this Machida Junko brought herself a B-rank contract for most of the veteran manga artists who had been drawing for many years in Mayakan.
"That's right! The publisher is very optimistic about you, so it directly gives you a B-level contract. Junko Machida raised an index finger in front of her eyes and said in a somewhat mysterious tone: "If one of your two manga can achieve the same score as "The Garden of Words" after joining, then you will be promoted to an A grade!" ”
"Really?" Lin nodded, and without saying a word, he directly signed his name on it.
He wasn't going to bargain with the other party.
After all, from the current point of view, the publishing house is still very good to him, and if he makes further requirements, he will be a little ignorant of human feelings.
It's enough for him to be a newcomer to get a B-rank contract that can only be obtained by many cartoonists for a few years, and even a A-grade contract that can only be obtained by a popular cartoonist later.
He is not the protagonist, can he still let some rules in the industry be constantly broken in him?
"Okay." Seeing Lin Yi sign his name without hesitation, a smile appeared on Junko Machida's face: "There is also good news, your manga is about to be released." ”
“!! It's true?! This time, Lin Yi really showed an excited expression.
If you want to make a lot of money, you can rely on the royalties after the release of a single book, and he happened to sign a B-level contract, which means that his "Garden of Words" can get money according to the share of the B-level contract.
This made Lin Yi even more satisfied with what the publishing house did.
Under normal circumstances, this publishing house could have signed a B-level contract for him after the single book of his work was released, and the difference between the two is not a little bit of money.
Level D is 6% of sales turnover, while Level B is 8%.
Don't look at this small number, but it's actually not a lot.
Because note that the author can get a percentage of the sales turnover, note that the turnover is not a pure profit.
For example, if the price of a single manga is 1,000 yen, at 6%, the author will receive at least 60 yen for each copy sold, and there is no need to subtract the production cost of the single book.
And in this world, the price of a single book is more than 1,000 yen.
Think about the author of "Demon Slayer Blade" in his previous life, right? A single book is also a 10% share, and the price of a single book from the world of the previous life is only 440 yen.
Compared with the two, if Lin Yi could reach the sales of the single book of the author of the Demon Slayer Blade in his previous life in this world, he would earn much more than the author of the Demon Slayer Blade.
Of course, "The Court of Words" will definitely not be able to reach the horror sales of "Demon Slayer", and Lin Yi is still self-aware at this point.
After all, his "Garden of Words and Leaves" is only one volume at most, and everything else is sold in more than a dozen volumes.
Now he just wants to be able to sell a little more, make a little more money, and then buy a house to build in this piece of Tokyo, where every inch of land is at a premium.
"Don't be too happy!" Looking at the smile on Lin's face, Machida Junko glanced at the other party: "Your "Garden of Words" is almost over, when are you going to give me the name of your next manga?" It's best to hand it over to me before you finish "The Garden of Words", so that I can arrange your priorities and so on seamlessly, and this time your initial priorities will definitely be better than your previous ones. ”
This is true, even if Lin Yi was a newcomer before, no matter how good he was in painting, he would be at the end of the order.
And now that Lin Yi is a little famous, then the initial order is definitely no longer the order at the end.
"Hmm......" Lin Yi was silent for a while, this was to see what comics his gold finger could unlock.
However, at this time, Machida Junko's eyes widened: "You shouldn't even think about what to draw, right?" ”
"You're just a little famous, if you don't chase after the victory, be careful that your popularity will drop later!"
She learned some of the bad habits of cartoonists from some old editors.
Some cartoonists just make money by drawing a book, then disappear immediately, take the money and go happily, and only when the money is spent does they want to draw again.
Eventually, the market changed, and the original popularity disappeared with time.
Of course, the most important thing is......
Lin Yi is a cartoonist under her, and if Lin Yi doesn't draw, she won't have any work to do after that.
Suddenly, Junko Machida thought of something.
It seems that even if Lin Yi is painting, she doesn't feel the job she should have as an editor!
This guy doesn't drag his draft at all, and he doesn't have any plot matters to discuss with her.
"How so?" At this time, Lin Yi, who was optimistic about what unlockable comics there were, waved his hand: "It's just polishing, I generally like to think about the plot first and think about everything thoroughly before I draw it, otherwise it's easy to delay." ”
"All in all, I will definitely hand over the name to you before the end of the Garden of Words!"
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Hearing Lin Yi's confident words, Machida Junko breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right! These are letters from readers, and I brought them to you by the way, so you can see for yourself. Junko Machida put things beside Lin Yi: "All in all, it's still the same old saying, just look at what the reader says, don't take it seriously, some people may see that you're going to end, don't think about forcibly renewing your life." ”
"Got it~" If Junko Machida doesn't say this kind of thing, Lin Yi won't forcibly renew the work.
After all, let's not talk about whether he is good or not, even if he can continue it well, he doesn't plan to renew it.
Why do others continue to live? Because they are reluctant to make money, they are also afraid that their next work will become a hit on the street.
But Lin Yi didn't have the need to worry about this, there were so many works in his mind, although many of them had not been unlocked, they could also give him this kind of confidence.
