Chapter 82: Anime Boy
After learning how his "Demon Slayer Blade" was cut in half, Lin Yi did not directly have a showdown with the Kurata editor-in-chief of Maya Pavilion.
Instead, I got in touch with other publishers in private.,And then I dragged it out on the grounds that I was thinking about the plot of a new manga.。
He thought that he was somewhat famous, and he felt that other publishing houses should go well, but it was much more than he expected.
The other two of the three major publishers were indeed interested in him.
Tsukino Society is the most interested in him, and most of the conditions have been agreed to him, but he doesn't plan to let him update like this three times a week, saying that it is not fair to other manga artists.
And if other cartoonists really learn to update a few words a week, then the cost of publishing a comic will definitely increase a lot, and will the price increase when the time comes?
If the price increases, then other readers may not be able to accept it, if the price does not increase, the cost will have to be posted by themselves, even if it is a small cost, this is not what the publisher wants to see.
As for the Putian Club left by the three major publishing houses? Although it can make him change three words a week, I hope that the comic themes he chooses in the future need to be edited by the editors, that is to say, the publishing house will let him draw whatever subject he wants.
It took a day and a half, and Lin Yi suddenly fell into hesitation after testing the reactions of these two publishing houses.
One is that you can't watch three times a day, and the other is that you can only draw the subject matter that the publishing house wants.
To be honest, if you have to choose one of the two, in fact, he can accept the conditions of the Tsukino Society, after all, in his opinion, what this Putian Society wants him to draw is probably a daily type of comic, and when he thinks that he can only talk about this type of Lin Yi, he doesn't want to agree.
But right...... He can only update one word a week, which makes him a little annoyed.
During this period, Lin Yi also called to persuade the heads of the two publishing houses, but he failed to convince them, and in the end there were no tricks to use.
Moreover, the attitude of these two publishing houses towards him is still very good, just to be responsible for their respective publishing houses according to their views, and he is an employee of these two publishing houses, and in the face of such a situation, it must be in the interests of their own publishing houses.
"Alas! It's not that easy! ”
After Lin Yi said goodbye to the person in charge of the Putian Club, he walked out of the café, but after only walking a distance, Lin Yi was stopped by a man, and the other party looked at Lin Yi with a kind face: "You are Teacher Haicheng, right?" ”
"You are?" Lin Yi looked at the other party suspiciously.
He can be sure that he doesn't know each other, he looks a little round, he is not too tall, the top of his head is a little bald, and he is generally like the kind of office worker who does not exercise all year round.
It's just that judging from the high-grade clothes on the other party and the big gold watch he wears, it is obvious that the economic conditions are good.
"I'm Shimura Kashiwagi, the president of Anime Boy Publishing House, and I've been looking up to the name of Haicheng teacher for a long time, so please forgive me for coming here!"
"Anime Boy Publishing House......" Lin Yi was stunned when he heard it, and then thought of something, and said suspiciously: "Does your company have anything to do with Anime Boy Co., Ltd.?" ”
"Yes, we're a subsidiary of Anime Boy Co., Ltd." Shimura Kashiwagi responded.
What he said made Lin Yi a little surprised.
He knows Anime Boy quite well, because one of the most famous animation production companies in the world island country is one of the subsidiaries of this company, which has produced a lot of beautiful animation, and itself has many theaters in the island country.
But he never expected that this company would have a publishing house under its umbrella.
However, from here alone, Lin Yi roughly guessed what the other party's intention was to come here, probably wanting him to join this unknown publishing house, right?
Although he didn't know how the other party knew that he was looking for a family, Lin Yi didn't ask much, but didn't wait for the other party to speak, and said directly: "I really didn't expect to alarm President Shimura, but I don't want to change the publishing house for the time being." ”
Although the other party's animation company is indeed quite famous, but if the other party's publishing house is not good, there is no way to give him many resources and no benefits.
"No...... I'm sure you'll join! Shimura Kashiwagi was not annoyed after hearing Lin Yi's words, and then made an invitation and continued: "Can you delay Haicheng Teacher for a little time?" ”
After all, if it were his own family, among the three major publishing houses and unknown publishing houses, he would also choose the former.
??
Looking at Shimura Kashiwagi's confident face, Lin Yi hesitated a little, and finally nodded.
He was a little curious as to why the other party was so confident that he would join.
So Lin Yi followed the other party to a café again, and after the other party sat down, he said to the waiter: "Bring me a cup of Mocha coffee, Teacher Haicheng, what are you drinking?" ”
"I ...... Have a cup of mocha too. As soon as Lin finished speaking, the waiter left the place.
And Shimura Kashiwagi went straight to the point: "Actually, we already noticed you when we were in "Unheard of Flower Names", Mr. Haicheng, it's just that the strength of our publishing house is limited, and you have stayed well in Mayakan, so I haven't looked for you." ”
"I didn't expect to hear that you seemed to be looking for another publishing house, so I was moved...... You probably haven't joined the Tsukino Club or the Putian Club now, right? ”
"Well, not for the time being, but there is already an intention."
"That's good." Shimura Kashiwagi picked up: "Then can Mr. Haicheng consider our publishing house?" We are able to give them conditions that they can't give. ”
Before Lin could speak, he said, "We can give you 20% of the shares of the publishing house, and you can give priority to the acquisition of shares in the future, up to 40%!" ”
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and joked: "Is it the equity of Anime Boy Co., Ltd.?" ”
"Haicheng-sensei is really joking." He smiled awkwardly: "It's the stake of Anime Boy Publishing." ”
"A company that can't make much money, even if my equity is 100%, it's useless."
Although it is said to be the company's equity, but the name of the publishing house he has never heard of, it is estimated that the profit of a year is not much, maybe when his animation of "Unheard of Flower Name" and "Magical Girl Madoka" comes out, the sales of the improved single book, peripherals, etc. will make more money than this!
"If your company is only on such conditions, forgive me for leaving." Lin Yi said.
"Of course, not only this, our company's background in the publishing house is indeed not as deep as the background of the three major publishing houses, but we are definitely stronger than them!"
