Big Manga

October 17.

"cheers!"

In the bachelor apartment, three women toasted with drinks, and the ground was covered with scattered snacks.

"I'm talking about Editor Liu, the sales volume of "Weekly Girls" surpassed that of "Shoujo Manga" for the first time, yet you only bought me a drink." A woman laughed and said, "Isn't that too stingy?"

"It's not bad if I invite you to eat." The second woman, Liu Xuan, the editor of the editorial department of Weekly Girls, picked up potato chips and chewed: "The victory of "Weekly Girls" is because of He Xi and Teacher Hua Meng, what did you get together? lively."

"Aren't I just curious?"

The woman looked at the last person with a smile, Huameng, who was the manga assistant of "Inuyasha": "Mr. Fire!"

At this time, "Weekly Girls" had already been released for one day, and the preliminary sales statistics were completed. The results were far beyond people's expectations.

"Shoujo Manga" was the sales winner before. This week, the two magazines were released at the same time. "Weekly Girls" not only filled the gap, but even gradually widened the distance.

He Xi once again created a miracle. His hot market made countless media stunned. Online readers used the phrase "I would rather believe pigs and dogs than the media" to describe their anger at being cheated. Now all kinds of forums can see this sentence talk.

And the teenage cartoonists who knew that Hua Meng was the assistant of "Inuyasha" also came to congratulate Hua Meng, who almost broke through the door of Hua Meng's house in two days, which made the latter feel helpless.

"Actually, I really didn't help much. These are all the achievements of Teacher He Xi."

Hua Meng always answers like this, He Xi is basically responsible for the pictures and characters of "Inuyasha", and she only dealt with the tedious little things such as shadows, lines, and dots, so there is really no reason to be congratulated.

"Ms. Hua Meng, don't be modest, but Mr. He Xi is really powerful. His "Detective Conan" serialized in "Weekly Boys" has won the first place in the flash report, Xiaozheng and all readers' surveys in the past few months. Every day, nearly Send a hundred letters to the editorial department!"

Liu Xuan took a sip of her drink and said with emotion: "He has become the pillar of the company, and I think "Weekly Girl" may also become his exclusive stage."

"You guys have to work hard, especially Teacher Hua Meng!" Liu Xuan pointed to Hua Meng and said, "The editorial department has great expectations for you. When you are an assistant, you should study hard and ask Teacher He Xi for advice. .”

"I know."

Hua Meng nodded. Both she and Teacher Tomato were cartoonists carefully selected by the editorial department. Putting them next to He Xi is actually a further study. The editorial department hopes that they can draw better cartoons in the future.

On October 18, Hua Meng went to work at Meng Huo's home. The first two days were the mid-term exams in Ninghai No. 1, and the work on "Inuyasha" was postponed until today.

As soon as she entered the door, Hua Meng heard voices coming from the study. She just wanted to go in and take a look, but was pulled by Li Qin to sit down.

"You drink water first, they are discussing things." Li Qin handed a glass of water to Hua Meng, and said with a smile: "You can go in after they finish discussing."

"Okay, sister Qin." Hua Meng took a sip of water and asked curiously, "What are they talking about?"

"It seems that the manuscript fee has increased, and your company is really..." Li Qin smiled all over his face: "200 per picture is enough, I didn't expect it to increase."

"A price increase."

Hua Meng was not surprised. Meng Huo had made great contributions to Phoenix Company, and it was only normal to raise the manuscript fee.

Not long after, Alice came out with a stack of documents in her hand.

"Teacher Hua Meng is here? Sorry for the delay, you can go in now." Alice apologized, Hua Meng picked up her bag and walked to the study, and heard Li Qin's voice behind her: "Alice, how much is the price increase this time?" ?”

"Um,

Each picture costs 600 Huaxia coins, and the royalties are still 10%. "

"Bang!" Teacher Hua Meng bumped into the doorpost and covered her forehead.

600 per picture! ? Royalty 10%! ? No matter which standard is said, it will shock a lot of people. The best cartoonists of Phoenix Company only pay 300 per drawing, and the royalties do not exceed 8%. Longteng company cartoonists pay a lot of royalties, and there are quite a few cartoonists with 800 copies. However, due to copyright issues, the maximum royalties for those cartoonists are only 3%!

Teacher He Xi is now the most valuable person in the comics industry. How much money can he make with such a high price? Hua Meng walked into the study in a daze.

"Teacher Hua Meng, get ready for work."

Meng Huo was arranging his painting tools when he looked up at Hua Meng's expression, "What's wrong with you?"

"No...it's nothing." Hua Meng patted her face and forced herself not to think too much. She smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. He Xi, the market sales of "Inuyasha" are very good, and the quick report survey is also the first."

"Has "Weekly Girls" outsold "Shojo Manga"?"

Meng Huo was only interested in this result.

"Exceeded." Hua Meng nodded: "Yesterday's new serialization of "Shoujo Manga" increased its sales by 30,000 copies, but the sales of "Weekly Girls" increased by 300,000 copies."

She was very envious. The sales of "Weekly Girl" benefited from "Inuyasha", but "Inuyasha" can show results so quickly, of course, because He Xi's readers already have a large scale.

"Mr. He Xi, your influence can be compared with first-line novelists!"

Hua Meng couldn't help but praise, but Meng Huo laughed: "I can't compare to their influence, it's pretty good to be compared with those second-rate novelists."

The influence of novels in this world is much greater than that of comics, and Meng Huo's debut time is very short.

But Hua Meng didn't believe his words: "Teacher, don't be modest, the author of "Girls Manga" this time is a little god, and her market performance is not as good as yours!"

She measures impact in terms of sales, which is the wrong way to go.

"That's normal."

Meng Huo replied, then shook his head and said, "Comics and novels are different. You guys... just think novelists are too scary."

He admitted that Longteng Company's method is very effective, but comics and novels are different things. Each comic has only twenty pages, and the content of these pages must be arranged reasonably. Those novelists know nothing about it. How can they How about drawing the manga?

Even if the cartoonist who cooperates with them knows, but they divide the work and cooperate, and the novelist is the leader, it is easy to cooperate poorly, and problems will arise at any time.

Furthermore, what are the reasons for the best-selling comics adapted from novels? The original, of course the original - without the support of the original, it sounds scary for a novelist to enter the comics world, but how many readers would be interested in a comic without an original?

Novelist turned cartoonist? How could the transition be so simple, it would turn into a big joke if you were not careful, especially for Meng Huo, he competed with the novelist to draw comics, that would be crushing all the way...

When such a person came, he would step on one without blinking his eyes.
