Chapter 55 Pitch your work to top manga magazines

Originally, Gu Hongbo thought that Su Han planned to go all out to develop the rice federation market.

Because he has just prepared contracts for two new films for the other party.

I didn't expect the other party to plan to draw comics again.

This simply made him a little speechless.

Although both comics and scripts belong to artistic creation.

But in terms of technique, they are two things that are incompatible.

But what Su Han told him to do, he had to do something.

Who made Su Han his boss now?

Gu Hongbo sent people to China and got back the original comic manuscript from Su Hanna.

Su Han asked Gu Hongbo to fly to the Long Island Country immediately.

Contact several powerful comic weekly magazines for promotion.

……

Gu Hongbo didn't read comics before, but in order to understand the basic comics of the Long Island Country, he still bought several comics that have been selling well in the Hong Kong area of the Long Island Country in the past two years.

I have to say a manga called Dragon Ball.

After reading it, Gu Hongbo was also a little unsatisfied.

At this time, he really saw the real reason why Japanese comics are so popular.

Since Su Han's comics are drawn in Japanese, I am afraid that Gu Hongbo will not be able to understand them. So specially prepared a Chinese translation and a general plot for him. Although it is only a part of the original manuscript, it can still be seen that it is very exciting.

The key is to draw well.

Gu Hongbo also admired Su Han at this time, no, no.

People can not only write.

I can also draw.

I'm afraid that there is no more awesome genius in the world than Su Han.

In order to explore the way to the Long Island Country, Gu Hongbo found the relevant practitioners in the Hong Kong circle to make up for the relevant rules, and then got up and went to the Long Island Country.

……

The Long Island Country is also known as the Land of Anime.

Since entering the eighties, the comic book industry has gained a blowout.

Especially in the late eighties and early nineties.

The anime culture of the Long Island nation has entered a whole new level.

After Gu Hongbo came to Long Island Country, he found a translator.

The addresses of the three major anime magazines in the island country were determined.

He was the first to go to the weekly "Jumping Boys", which was serializing the Dragon Ball manga.

It is now the most famous comic weekly in Long Island Country.

"Jumping Boy" is naturally Gu Hongbo's best choice.

"Jumping Boy" will be because of the serialization of the manga "Dragon Ball", and the weekly magazine is also busy.

There are countless works submitted.

It can be said that the development of "Jumping Boy" in Long Island is in full swing.

The reception staff knew that Gu Hongbo was here to contribute.

I immediately contacted Manga Editor Onomoto, who is on duty to receive contributing writers.

However, when Ohnomoto saw that Gu Hongbo was actually a Chinese man, and he also brought a translator, he was also a little speechless.

I can't even speak the island language, and I come to sell comics.

It's really weird.

Since the reception work is on rotation, Onomoto certainly hopes to meet an author with a good level so that he can hug a thick thigh.

But a Chinese author came to the door and made him really disappointed.

Although there are occasional foreign authors who come to submit their manuscripts every year, all of them fail without exception.

After all, it is not perennial in the comic circle of Long Island countries, and it is difficult to get in touch with the top authors or editors.

Although this is not to say that foreign authors will not be able to create wonderful comics, there is still a big gap in the level compared to domestic authors in the Long Island countries.

Gu Hongbo handed the manuscript of "One Piece" to Ohnomoto.

Ohnomoto just took it politely, intending to pretend to take a look, and then politely refuse the other party.

But when he saw the original painting of the cover of One Piece.

I was suddenly a little surprised.

As a professional editor with some drawing skills.

Just the characters on the cover of this comic can see that the author's drawing skills are extraordinary.

The way the work is drawn is different from the current hit "Dragon Ball".

Naturally, it is eye-catching.

Ohnomoto looked at the manuscripts one by one.

The content dialogue is all in island language, and some of the settings seem to be basically in line with the island style, and there is no sense of patchwork or forced explanation.

To be honest, I can't see that it is the work of a Chinese person at all.

I don't know if I thought it was created by a Long Island national.

Ohnomoto looked at the author, writing Su Han, two big Chinese.

Ohnomoto said: "Gu San! You didn't create this comic! ”

Gu Hongbo nodded and said, "Yes!" I am the lawyer representing the author, Mr. Su Han. This was created by Mr. Su Han himself. Mr. Ohno probably didn't know Mr. Su Han. He is one of our leading film script writers in Hong Kong. And not only in the Hong Kong circle, but also in Hao Lai Wu, there are also his works. It seems that the recently popular "I'm Crazy for Mary" and "Home Alone" and so on are all his works. ”

Ohnomoto's eyes lit up when he heard this! hurriedly said: "I've seen the little ghost!" It's wonderful. I didn't expect it to be created by this Sussan. It's unimaginable! It seems that this Susan is really talented. Not only can I create such an excellent script, but I can also draw comics, which is really admirable. ”

Gu Hongbo said: "Mr. Su Han is the most talented person I have ever met. Although his strength lies in the plot setting, his drawing skills are also very good, as I believe you have seen. Do you think Mr. Su's work can be featured in your magazine "Jumping Boy"? ”

Ohnomoto thought for a moment and said, "It should be no problem." But there are some things that we also need to explain in advance. So as not to have any misunderstandings in the future. Although I personally admire Sussan's work, it is not me who ultimately determines the benefits of the work, but the reader.

You may not know. We have a weekly magazine "Jumping Boys" with about twenty comics serialized on it every week.

The vast majority of original manuscripts are royalty-free, and we only cover a fixed manuscript fee. The manuscript fee is paid according to the number of pages serialized in order to support the author's basic living expenses during the serialization period.

As for the issue of royalties, which authors are more concerned about, it is up to the readers of the reader survey to decide. Only authors whose readers' vote rankings are significantly higher than those of their works in the same period will receive a share of the royalties given by the magazine.

Of course, the share is also between one percent and ten percent. In general, the total royalty share of each issue of a magazine will not exceed 30% of the selling price.

Of course, this does not include the original manuscript fee and the illustration fee.

Under normal circumstances, our magazine society only signs the serialization qualification for 10 or 20 issues.

If the reader is not optimistic about the work, we have the right to ask the author to end it early according to the agreement.

If the work sells well, the magazine has the priority right to renew the comic copyright of the work, and the author's royalty income will be increased accordingly.

If the reader's response to the work is average, and the work is stopped, the company will refer to the impact to issue a single book. It's just that the royalties may be relatively low, after all, the audience is small, and if you publish a single book, the company is also risky.

[This book is a long-term work and will not be completed in a short time.] I hope you can recommend and support the commuter pass. There are no official recommendations, so it's all up to the long-term support of my siblings. 】
