The next day, Chu Yu asked for leave and came to the Xuangui Comics Club alone.
Inside Xuangui Comics Club, Li Xi has been waiting for a long time. As usual, wearing ol professional attire, the whole person looks capable and energetic.
As soon as Chu Yu walked into Xuangui Comics Company, he found Li Xi's office in a familiar way.
"Please sit down!" Li Xi said after seeing Chu Yu.
After getting up and pouring a cup of hot tea for Chu Yu, he closed the door by the way, and the whole room was in an airtight environment.
"Presumably, there is no need for me to say anything. Just yesterday, at the serialization meeting of the Xuangui Comics Club, your work Natsume Friends Account and another work Qianxing Mijing were selected by the editor-in-chief Deng He, plus another Three of the excellent works in the second-level journals of Bu Xuangui will be serialized in the current issue of
Shuiyuan in three weeks !" "Three weeks later?" Chu Yu's eyes narrowed.
Before coming, Chu Yu naturally knew about the fact that his work could pass the serialization meeting smoothly.
However, he did not expect that Xuangui's efficiency was so high. Only yesterday, he decided which works could be published on the Water's Edge, and the next day he immediately set the publication date of the works.
"This is the contract signed. If there is no problem, I will print it out and complete the contract." Li Xi placed a laptop in front of Chu Yu.
Entry is a long contract.
Fortunately, after the Song Jiayu incident and after dealing with cuttlefish, Chu Yu has a much stronger awareness of the relevant laws. Although he does not say that he is proficient in the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, he at least understands the relevant cases of contract fraud in the comics industry. Over.
He can see the pitfalls in the general contract.
Of course, for Li Xi, Su Lu's good friend, Chu Yu still has a certain degree of trust in him, but he must be defensive, so this contract...Chu Yu takes it very seriously.
Finally, after changing three cups of tea in front of Li Xi, Chu Yu finally looked away from the electronic contract.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
In general, this contract is quite satisfactory and there are no pitfalls.
The main key content is the following.
First, the comic manuscript is remunerated at two thousand dragon coins per page.
For this, Chu Yu didn't have any comments.
Although on the surface, the author's remuneration of two thousand dragon national coins is only one thousand yuan more than that of Man Ying.
Compared with the two periodicals of Manying and Shuiyuan, the gap between the two can be described by heaven and earth.
Each page is only a thousand yuan higher, and I am really sorry for the status of the journal Shuiyuan.
But when it comes to a cartoonist who can serialize comics in journals like Shuiyuan, who cares about the mere income of manuscripts?
It's not the same as Japanese manga in parallel planes, which is popular all over the world.
On the plane of the Dragon Kingdom, although the Japanese island side is still carrying forward the theme of comics, the potential power of the Dragon Kingdom mainland region to come from behind cannot be ignored.
At least, in the current Longguo comics industry, the entire animation market is extremely regulated, with a strong sense of copyright, and there are countless fans that have been cultivated.
In Parallel Time and Space, the works of hundreds of millions of books sold in one- line books can be described as the ceiling of the comics industry, and most of them are concentrated in Japan in that world. But on the plane of the Dragon Kingdom, with a population of more than one billion people, the difficulty of breaking through one hundred million in a single comic book is much lower than in parallel time and space. Moreover, in this world, the Dragon Kingdom is definitely a unique existence in the world's comic market. In short, the cartoons of the entire world are imitating the Dragon Kingdom. Therefore, sales in overseas markets should not be underestimated. This has also created a large group of staggering rich people in Longguo comics. There are many cartoonists who rely on single book royalties, adapt animations, and earn hundreds of millions of dollars in peripheral income. It is not uncommon for the names of several old cartoonists to appear on the Long Country Rich List.
In such an environment, everyone will certainly not care about the comic manga remuneration in this mere mere.
In the contract, many cartoonists are concerned about the share of copyright.
Comics are serialized in periodicals, and the comics club helps you to promote the comics. Naturally, the comics club also has a share of the copyright revenue of your works.
In this contract, the percentage of royalties for the comic book issued by
Chu Yu was 8%... Chu Yu looked at Li Xi.
"Li Xi, this is about the proportion of comic royalties..."
"There is nothing to talk about!" Li Xi stopped what Chu Yu wanted to say.
"Genki comic agency, any of the first comic strip on the edge of the water this journal cartoonists in the booklet into the proportion of royalties, is the ratio!"
"If you want in on this issue and mysterious Kametan, at least that's after your comic has achieved impressive results and serialized the new work! At that time, 9%, 10%, or even higher royalties are possible, but it all depends on it. Because of your past achievements."
Chu Yu was silent for a long time upon hearing this.
"Understood!"
Chu Yu didn't bother with this. Ideas are very important, but we must also look at reality.
Now he really can't negotiate terms with Xuangui.
For the rest, the contract includes animation adaptations, other themes adaptations, and the sharing of peripheral products, which are basically the industry's normal standards.
"I have no opinion!" Chu Yu nodded.
"Okay!" Li Xi smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Print out the contract neatly and instruct Chu Yu one by one where and how to sign.
five minutes later.
Li Xi put away the contract and reached out to Chu Yu.
Chu Yu also stood up to respond to her, holding their hands together.
"You are welcome to join Xuangui!" Li Xi smiled and looked at Chu Yu.
After this moment, she is Chu Yu's comic editor, which means that the two have officially established a cooperative relationship. Chu Yu's physical and mental state, comic serialization progress, and personal private life all need to be involved in varying degrees. .
At the same time, the performance of Chu Yu's works is also related to her personal income on Xuangui and her career promotion prospects.
Among other things, if Chuyu's Natsume's friend account was cut in one or two months after being serialized because of poor popularity, then Li Xi from now on, not to mention working in Xuangui, even if he would change jobs to other comic companies in the future. Some people will use this to talk about things.
Signing Chu Yu is also a gamble for Li Xi.
But anyway, for Li Xi, she has been like this all the way.
The same was true when Tang Xin was excavated back then, otherwise Tang Xin's rise would not be so fast.
"Well, that's the case, then from today, you will be my partner for comics in Xuangui!" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.
"Three weeks later, Natsume's Friends Account was officially published in the Shuibian. According to the rules, the new work was published for the first time, with two stories together!"
"Except for the three manuscripts you gave me before, in order to keep up with the serialization progress of the comics, Starting from the week when this work is serialized, you should also submit the manuscript of the fourth chapter of this work!"
"Every week thereafter, the deadline is Friday. I will visit when it is due. I hope you will not delay the manuscript. Don't be like someone..."
"Otherwise, you will appreciate my reminder method!" Li Xi seemed to say jokingly.
But Chu Yu could vaguely feel that she was serious. UU read www.uukanshu.com
just right, and since Li Xi talked about this, Chu Yu also spoke.
"Of course, if you are acquainted with Su Lu, you should be able to understand that I have never delayed the manuscript..."
"It's just that, as a native of Los Angeles , I am not familiar with the magic city.... In order to complete the comic creation with higher quality, I need to find a few comic assistants."
"I don't know Li Xi, do you have any good suggestions for this?"
"Comic Assistant?" Li Xi heard the words and thought for a few seconds.
"How many do you want?" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.
"Two!" Chu Yu said.
Although one would be enough according to common sense, Chu Yu also had other ideas, and he was already a speed monster in the eyes of an ordinary cartoonist anyway.
And because of the systematic reasons, Chu Yu doesn't have to spend a lot of time conceiving the plot of the comic.
That being the case, why not try to see if you can serialize two works or even more works at the same time with enough manga assistants?
After all, there are so many excellent works in the system, and Chu Yu doesn't expect to serialize them all in this lifetime, but he can always serialize one more.
