"Bang".

The door to the editor-in-chief's office was slammed shut.

Tan Zhifei and everyone glanced at each other, and they all saw the depression in each other's eyes.

This kind of depression was not brought about by Tang Hongzhou's reprimand, but the plot of the comic was not able to read a little more, and the feeling of being interrupted was very uncomfortable.

This colloquially known broken chapter makes no difference.

However, the editor-in-chief's behavior can be understood.

In connection with the content of the manga I just saw.

This is undoubtedly another hit.

They can even imagine the reaction of the manga when it hits the market...

Detective suspense?

All right.

If that's what counts...

.....

This way.

Tang Hongzhou, who closed the door, had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Gently put the comic in his hand on the table, only to feel that the gloomy mood of recent days has been swept away.

Thinking of the bitter fruit that I suffered not long ago because of my narrow decision, it was a fact that I couldn't accept for many days and nights.

In particular, the 200,000 copies of the third round of printing were directly handed over, which can be described as breaking teeth and swallowing them in the stomach, and you have to greet them with a smile.

It's not okay if you don't.

Because his editorial office lacks such an author, and such an author does not necessarily need him.

Before the other party became famous, his editorial department was the lower party, and after he became famous, his editorial office was even lower.

Speak for yourself.

This is the answer that the dreamweaver gave himself.

His face was swollen from the beating.

It's just that Tang Hongzhou can also distinguish the pros and cons.

Money is endless.

Being able to keep this author is true.

This is also the reason why he can advance the balance to the other party in advance.

Sincerity.

It's a word he's been saying many times.

Whether it is this dream weaver or Zhao Jing, he needs to treat it with due sincerity.

Take a look.

Isn't this second work coming?

It shows that you are still very wise in making decisions, which is called losing before gaining.

Thinking like this, Tang Hongzhou sat upright.

He was going to take a good look at the Dream Weaver's work this time.

So he looked down.

"Death Note."

Is that the name of the new work?

He was a little curious.

Although I don't know what the subject of the other party's painting is through the title of the work, these words look so pleasing to the eye.

No way.

The influence of the three words of Dream Weaver is too great.

While a few authors may be facing instant hits every year, none of the 450,000 copies sold are available.

Not to mention the peripheral model that suddenly caught fire in the back, it simply set a precedent in the comic industry and added another channel to make money.

Tang Hongzhou's eyes flickered.

His hand slowly flipped through the paper.

The quiet atmosphere lasted for a while, only to be broken by the occasional "hiss" and "hiss" sound.

Because the manga I sent only had an introductory part, I read it quickly.

He looked up with a complicated gaze.

Suddenly, I feel that the weight of this comic is a bit heavy.

Thinking about it, he pushed open the door and called Tan Zhifei over.

And the people outside suddenly became energetic again when they heard this.

How do you feel that this scene is familiar?

Only this time they weren't counted.

"Editor-in-chief, you're looking for me." Tan Zhifei hurriedly asked after coming in.

"If this comic is published, how do you think the treatment should be given?" Tang Hongzhou frowned, didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.

"Zhao Jing also focused on the issue of treatment, I mean it is given according to the highest standards in the industry." Tan Zhifei immediately replied.

"I'm afraid it's not enough, right?" Tang Hongzhou pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

The highest standard in the industry?

How tall can it be?

According to a small editorial department like theirs, the commission of 10 to 15 percent for old authors is considered a ceiling.

But for those large comic companies, 20% can be obtained, but the other party may not be satisfied.

Take the last Gundam manga.

With 450,000 copies in sales, how much is the profit?

After deducting income tax, it is about 10 million.

And the other side took almost ninety percent.

Distressed?

Hurt!

But this is all their own reason, and there is nothing to dispute.

But from 90 percent to 15 percent, let alone the other party, even if you change to yourself, there is no way to accept it.

From simplicity to luxury.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

That's the reason.

But if you let yourself continue to give the other party 90% of the commission, it is not realistic.

After deducting the expenses of publicity and channels, the income is limited, which is equivalent to working in vain.

No other company can do that.

So it's hard to set this standard.

"What do you mean?" Tan Zhifei was stunned and asked puzzled.

"Fifty percent?" Tang Hongzhou asked tentatively, and he was also a little entangled in his heart at the moment.

"What, fifty percent?"

Tan Zhifei was really surprised when he heard this.

This is somewhat exaggerated.

The highest standard in the industry can have 30% is still abstract.

Half of it is directly divided here?

"What do you think is a lot?" Tang Hongzhou asked at him.

"I..."

Tan Zhifei just wanted to say yes, but thinking of the other party's sales results, he was silent again.

The precedent of 450,000 copies is there, and this comic is not a work to consume popularity, but another popular theme.

Fifty percent is not the point.

The point is that the author of Dream Weaver is also willing to publish comics in their Baihe editorial department.

After the popularity of Mobile Suit Gundam, I believe that many companies have already moved to poach people.

But since Zhao Jing didn't mention this matter to herself, it means that the other party's first choice is her own side.

And what are the advantages of Baihe's editorial department compared with those large companies?

The answer is not at all.

Large companies have wider sales channels and greater influence, and the sales of the same work are only high and not low, just this is enough, right?

remembered that Zhao Jing emphasized the word 'treatment' on the phone, probably reminding herself.

If you think so.

Then the editor-in-chief's proposal would be acceptable.

Fifty percent commission.

Suffice it to say that no large company would gamble on it, because it would ruin the salary structure of their authors and cause staff loss.

But the editorial department of Baihe is not afraid, because their scale is small, and their influence is naturally small.

"Got it?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Tang Hongzhou couldn't help but laugh.

"I can understand your difficulties." Tan Zhifei said slowly.

"Haha, Lao Tan, although I am the editor-in-chief, sometimes my vision is really not good, I can't compare to young people, and I start to hesitate to do things, so sometimes I still want to be able to listen to your opinions." Tang Hongzhou couldn't help but sigh.

I think back then, he also walked down step by step from a small editor.

I left my job halfway to start a business, and then I had the current editorial department of Baihe.

It's just that although there has been no improvement for so many years, the business can be regarded as stable.

"Editor-in-chief, you are humble, and with your far-sighted deployment, we can get to where we are now." Tan Zhifei said with a serious face.

"Well, I'm not telling you this to hear you compliment me."

Tang Hongzhou picked up the Death Note comic in front of him and said to him: "Hurry up and contact Zhao Jing, in addition to the commission, if the other party has any requirements, we will try our best to meet them, in short, let this comic be published in our Baihe editorial department!" ”

"I get the editor-in-chief." Tan Zhifei nodded.

Get out of the office.

He called Zhao Jing.

It's just that after dialing, there is a man's voice on the other side.

"Hey."

"Hello, I'm looking for Miss Zhao Jing." Tan Zhifei was stunned for a moment, and then said.

"Just talk to me about comics."

Here, when Zhao Jing saw the caller ID, Lin Hao had just come back, so she asked him if he wanted to talk in person.

The latter thought about it and took it.

"You are..."Tan Zhifei was a little confused, talking to you, who are you.

"My name is Lin Hao, the author of Mobile Suit Gundam and Death Note." Lin Hao said slowly.

"What? Are you a dreamweaver? ”

Tan Zhifei suddenly snorted when he heard this, his voice became louder, and when he heard this, everyone else in the office also raised their heads.

Dreamweaver?

Did this guy get in touch with the deity?

Good guy, it's moving fast.

For a while, they all listened with their ears sideways.

"Hmm... That's right. Lin Hao was a little awkward when he heard the name, and it was thanks to Zhao Jing's whimsical brain.

"You... Hello, I am the editor of the editorial department of Baihe, Tan Zhifei. ”

Tan Zhifei stumbled into an introduction, never imagined that he would be able to talk to the Dream Weaver himself.

If you were another author, you wouldn't be so excited, but the other party is a guy who canons a god in a comic, so you can't generalize.

"Hello, Editor Tan, I don't know what to do with me." Lin Hao asked.

"That's right, regarding the treatment of the Death Note comic, we have decided to increase your share to fifty percent."

Tan Zhifei was afraid that other editors would hear it, so he had to find a corner and whispered: "I don't know what you think?" ”

"Fifty percent?" Lin Hao was also slightly surprised when he heard this, and glanced at Zhao Jing, who looked even more incredible.

"That's right, fifty percent." Tan Zhifei was a little unsure whether the other party's words meant to sigh or anger.

"Yes."

Lin Hao also agreed happily.

Fifty percent is a number that he didn't even think of, and he had learned about it through Zhao Jing before, but because of the bonus of the first Gundam manga, the threshold in his heart was about thirty percent, but he didn't expect the other party to give fifty percent.

To be honest, this division is to leave itself in the editorial department of Baihe for publication.

"And I sent the contract to your mailbox?" Tan Zhifei asked hesitantly.

"Okay, you can remember it."

Lin Hao told the other party his email address.

Last time, due to eating and singing with Zhou Ren, Zhao Jing signed a contract on behalf of Zhao Jing during the period, and the follow-up was very troublesome.

It's a power of attorney again, and it's a copyright division, and it took a lot of signatures to get it neat, so it's better to do it yourself this time.
