"Has the discussion with the comic book release and animation adaptation company of Natsume's Friends Account basically finished with the other party?"
Chu Yu was also a little surprised when he heard the news. The speed was indeed faster.
"Yes!" Li Xi said.
Generally, for companies such as Xuangui, works published in the Water Edge Periodicals, as long as the works are slightly popular, they will definitely be published in separate editions.
If there are quite popular works, animation is also the norm.
In terms of the popularity of Natsume's Friends' Account, it goes without saying that animation and the release of the booklet are certain things. The reason why I have waited until now is only because the previous Natsume's Friends' Account was not long enough.
The copyrights of works serialized in journals are basically held jointly by the comic company and the author. Generally speaking, the copyright operation is basically the comic company sending a special person to negotiate, and after discussing a satisfactory result between both parties, if it is the original author of the comic After agreeing, a series of tasks were put on the agenda soon after signing the contract.
"Originally, the mysterious turtle wanted you to come and raise your opinions during the talks, but you said you were busy and asked me to take care of this for you. Anyway, the general results of the talks have come out."
Li After Xi finished speaking, he handed a document to Chu Yu by the way.
After Chu Yu picked it up and looked at things like this, he was basically concerned about his own income and the reliability of the other party's company.
The issue of the pamphlet is a large publishing company that has had a cooperative relationship with Xuangui for many years. Its sales channels are spread all over the country, and it is basically reliable, but Xuangui actually gave him 10% of the royalties. Chu Yu has absolutely nothing to do. think.
After all, when Natsume's friend's account was signed, the single-line royalties prescribed above were only 8%.
It seems that the people inside Xuangui also like Chu Yu very much. After all, with Chu Yu's current status in the comics industry, 8% is indeed lower. They are implemented in accordance with the contract. They are afraid that Chu Yu has any ideas, so they take the initiative to increase the rate. Up the ratio.
Maybe some people think it makes no difference that just a two percent difference.
But in fact, for popular cartoonists, the two percent gain is huge.
For example, take Tang Xin as an example. Her Dream World now sells 30 million copies, and the single copy sells for 25 Dragon National Coins.
This two percent share is calculated to be 15 million Dragon National Coins.
This is a huge sum of money that ordinary people can't make in a lifetime.
And no matter what, Natsume's Friends Account was once the third most popular on Waterfront, and now the fourth.
After the pamphlet is issued for a period of time, the sales volume of tens of millions of copies must be reached, so count it.
For Chu Yu, this two percent is also a significant income.
Although Xuan Gui took the initiative to perform Chu Yu in accordance with the contract, he would not have any opinions, but Xuan Gui took the initiative to do so, Chu Yu still felt a little warm in his heart.
As for the
unfamiliar animation production company ... this is also an animation production company that Chu Yu is very familiar with.
It is Jiuxing.
There are many animation companies that have a deep cooperative relationship with Xuangui, but because Chuyu's manga editor is Li Xi, and Li Xi knew many people at Jiuxing when Dream World was animated, and there is this relationship between Jiuxing. It's not surprising that the animator who became Natsume's Friends Book. As for the remuneration of animation production...... that's it anyway! Originally, for animation production, the funds paid to the plot creators were not much. In addition, the money was divided into parts according to the contract, and Chu Yu himself had several hundred thousand. Of course..... Animation itself is not profitable for creators, but animation is very helpful for the spread of the original work. Generally speaking, if a manga wants to reach the top five popular status in a periodical like Shuiyuan, it depends on the increase in popularity brought by the spread of animation. Why do people think that Shui Xin is a freak in the world of Modu comics?
That's because the entire Shuiyuan magazine ranks among the top seven in popularity, only Shuixin's initial D and Natsume's Friends Account have not yet been animated.
But even under such circumstances, one of these two works now ranks second in popularity on the edge of the water, and the other is fourth.
In addition, animation will definitely increase the sales of the single-book books of Natsume's friends. In a word...There are so many cartoonists in Ryukoku, so there must be some reason to expect the animation of their works.
Chu Yuzai carefully read the various clauses and asked for about twenty minutes before putting down the documents.
"I don't think there is any problem!"
"Are you asking for nothing?" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.
"Are you asking?" Chu Yu pondered for a few seconds.
"On the release of the manga booklet, I believe that a big company like Xuangui will definitely not make mistakes in this kind of thing."
"As for the animation of Natsume's Friends Account...I only have one request. If the producer of Jiuxing Huang Minghuang has time, let him be in charge of this work as much as possible!"
"Huang Ming?" Li Xi was taken aback!
"I forgot, you said before that you would jointly fund two short comics with Huang Ming!"
"Listen to you, Huang understands that he works every day, and he works overtime at night and during holidays to deal with your two works. You are now That's great.... I just want him to do his work during the day with your work..."
"I don't know if Huang Ming is working for Jiuxing or for you. Chu Yu works..." Li Xi ridiculed Chu Yu rarely.
"I only have more contact with Huang Ming, and I trust his ability and personality!" Chu Yu said.
"I will report your request anyway, but I can't guarantee the result!" Li Xi nodded.
"If you don't have any comments, maybe Xuangui will arrange a contract meeting between you and the other company's personnel in the near future."
"No problem!" Chu Yu nodded.
..... In the
next few days, Chu Yu continued to create daily comics as usual, and then went to train.
The only difference is.... Inexplicably, Chu Yu, Gu Yan, and Tang Xin's training trip for three people, in the end... always turned into a trip for three people. .
Anyway, Tang Xin came to talk with Gu Yan, and the two seemed to have become good friends. They exchanged training experience and game skills together..... It's
just that, Gu Yan's game prowess is clearly growing rapidly.
At least, after a few weeks of hacking, Chu Yu's own tuba and the trumpets given to Tang Xin and Gu Yan were promoted from Black Tier IV to Black Tier III.
At that moment, Chu Yu was really moved indescribably. After playing this promotion match a dozen times for such a long time, he didn't succeed.
Anyway, for some reason, Chu Yu, who had known Tang Xin for so long and because of the handover of work with Gu Yan, didn't get acquainted with them. On the contrary, after playing games together a few times, they got acquainted with them inexplicably.
At least the current Gu Yan and Tang Xin have been chatting with him on Weixin from time to time, just like those current friends.
Chu Yu felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
But no matter what, today's Chuyu maintains this state, devoting himself to the work of manga drawing and animation creation all day long.
One month has passed, and the time is approaching October.
Chu Yu also started school and was officially promoted to a sophomore.
And the initial D is also serialized to the twelfth chapter
