Chapter 199: Single Book Release and Animation

"Have the release of the manga book and the animation adaptation company of Natsume's Book of Friends basically completed the negotiation with the other party?"

Chu Yu was a little surprised when he heard the news, it was indeed faster.

"That's right!" Li Xi said.

Generally, a company such as Xuangui, the works on the Shuiyuan periodicals, as long as the works that are a little bit popular, will definitely be put on the agenda.

If there are quite popular works, animation is also the norm.

In terms of the popularity of Natsume's Book of Friends, the animation and the release of a single book are definitely a certain thing. The reason why I have waited until now is only because the previous Natsume's Book of Friends was not long enough.

The copyright of the works serialized in the journal is basically held by the comic company and the author. Generally speaking, the copyright operation is basically a matter of the comic company sending a special person to negotiate and negotiate a result that is satisfactory to both parties. If the original author of the comic is After agreeing, and soon after signing the contract, a series of work was immediately put on the agenda.

"Originally, Xuan Gui wanted you to come and give your opinion during the negotiation, but you said that you were busy and asked me to take charge of this matter on your behalf. Anyway, the general negotiation result has come out now."

After Li Xi finished speaking, he also handed a document to Chu Yu by the way.

After Chu Yu picked it up and looked at it, basically, he was concerned about his own income and the reliability of the other company.

The distribution of the single-volume book is a large publishing company that has had a cooperative relationship with Xuangui for many years. Its sales channels are all over the country, and it is basically reliable. However, Xuangui actually gave him 10% of the royalties, which Chu Yu did not understand at all. think.

After all, when Natsume Friends signed the contract, the above-mentioned single-line royalties were divided into only 8%.

It seems that the people inside Xuan Gui are also very interested in Chu Yu. After all, 8% of Chu Yu's status in the comics industry is indeed lower, and it is really executed according to the contract. They are afraid that Chu Yu will have any ideas, so they take the initiative to increase ratio.

Maybe some people think that just a two percent difference makes no difference.

But in fact, for popular cartoonists, this 2% gain is huge.

For example, take Tang Xin as an example, her dream world now sells 30 million copies in a single book, and the single book sells for 25 dragons.

This 2% share is calculated to be 15 million Dragon National Coins.

This is a huge sum of money that ordinary people can't make in their lifetime.

And no matter what, Natsume's Book of Friends is the third most popular on the water edge, and now the fourth.

After a single book is released for a period of time, the sales volume of tens of millions of copies can definitely be achieved.

This 2% is also a lot of income for Chu Yu.

Although Xuan Gui took the initiative to perform Chu Yu according to the contract, he would not have any objection, but Xuan Gui took the initiative to do so, and Chu Yu still felt a little warm in his heart.

As for the animation producer of Natsume's Book of Friends.

This is also an animation production company that Chu Yu is very familiar with.

It is nine stars.

There are many animation companies that have a deep cooperative relationship with Xuangui, but because Chu Yu's comic editor is Li Xi, and because Li Xi knew many people in Jiuxing when Dreamworld was animated, there is this relationship, Jiuxing It is not surprising to become the animation producer of Natsume's Friends Book.

As for the remuneration for animation production.

Anyway, that's it! Originally, for animation production, the funds paid to the plot creators were not much. In addition, according to the contract, Xuan Gui had to divide it into a part. After all, Chu Yu had only a few hundred thousand in his hands.

Of course, animation itself is not profitable for creators, but animation is very helpful for the popularity of the original work.

Generally speaking, if a cartoon wants to reach the top five in popularity in a journal like Shuiyuan, it depends on the popularity growth brought about by the spread of animation.

Why do people in the magic capital comics think that Shui Xin is a freak.

That's because the top seven miles in popularity of the entire Shuiyuan journal, only the initial D of Shuixin and the Natsume Friends Book have not been animated.

But even under such circumstances, one of the two works is now ranked second in popularity and the other fourth in popularity.

And the animation will definitely have a huge boost in the sales of Natsume's book of friends. All in all, there are so many cartoonists in the Dragon Kingdom, so there must be a reason to look forward to the animation of the work.

Chu Yu carefully read the various clauses and asked to put down the document after about 20 minutes.

"I don't think it's a problem!"

"Don't you have any requirements?" Li Xi looked at Chu Yu.

"Request?" Chu Yu pondered for a few seconds.

"The release of the comic book is for sale. 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 Book of Friends, I only have one request. If the producer Huang Minghuang of Nine Stars has time, let him be in charge of this work as much as possible!"

"Huang Ming?" Li Xi was stunned for a moment!

"I forgot, you said before that you and Huang Ming will jointly fund the production of two short comics!"

"Listen to you, Huang Bai works every day, and works overtime at night and during holidays to deal with your two works. Now you might as well want him to work during the day all about your works."

"I don't know if Huang Ming is working for Jiuxing or you are working for Chu Yu." Li Xi teased Chu Yu rarely.

"I just have more contact with Huang Ming, and I have more trust in his ability and person!" Chu Yu said.

"Anyway, I will report your request, but I can't guarantee the result!" Li Xi nodded.

"If you don't have any opinions, Xuan Gui may arrange a meeting between you and the other company's personnel to sign a contract 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 practice driving.

The only difference is that inexplicably, the trip of Chu Yu, Gu Yan, and Tang Xin, in the end, always turned into a trip of the three of them.

Anyway, Tang Xin came to talk with Gu Yan, and after going back and forth, the two seemed to have become good friends, exchanging driving experience and game skills together.

However, Gu Yan's game strength is obviously growing rapidly.

At least, after a few weeks of blackmailing, Chu Yu's own tuba and the trumpet that he gave to Tang Xin and Gu Yan were both promoted from the black iron four to the black iron three.

At that moment, Chu Yu was really moved indescribably. He had played this promotion game more than a dozen times for so long, but he had never succeeded.

Anyway, inexplicably, Chu Yu, who had known Tang Xin for so long and had been handed over to Gu Yan because of work, did not get to know them well. Instead, after playing a few games together, they became familiar with them inexplicably.

At least now, Gu Yan and Tang Xin have been chatting with him on Weixin from time to time, just like those friends who are currently charging.

Chu Yu felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

But no matter what, Chu Yu now maintains such a state, devoting himself to the work of comic 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.
