Chapter 3 Serialization Decision
Su Yan looked at Chu Yu and was a little stunned!
This young man is too bachelor, he immediately got up and left when he felt that there was no chance for cooperation, without any hesitation.
But when the opportunity for cooperation reappeared, the person who seemed a little indifferent before smiled immediately, and it seemed that the attitude was completely opposite to before.
Su Yan smiled, but felt that Chu Yu people had an appetite for her.
After all, in the workplace, the people you come in contact with can't tell whether they are genuine or fake. Like Chu Yu, who doesn't hide it, no, it should be someone who doesn't want to hide his thoughts at all, but it makes Su Yan feel that it is much easier to get along with him. .
The next thing is much simpler. Since both of them have the intention to publish the work of the Garden of Words on Mo Ying, a short-story comic journal under the Cuttlefish Magazine, the main discussion is the price and copyright of the comics!
Although the number of words in The Garden of Words is very low, the seven words are barely enough for a single book.
Although Su Yan thinks that the probability of the serialization of this work reaching the popularity of a single book is not high, it is better to write these things into the contract first, so as to avoid disputes in the future.
After nearly half an hour of negotiation.
In the end, the two negotiated the result that Cuttlefish Comics published it on Moying at a price of 220 yuan per page. If the work of Yan Ye Zhiting is published in a single book in the future, the royalties will be divided into 7%!
That is to say, the Court of Words and Leaves of about 160 pages of seven chapters, Chu Yu finally received about 35,000 yuan!
According to Chu Yu's understanding, this is a normal newcomer's comic price, and it is even slightly higher. It seems that Su Yu didn't want to bully Chu Yu as a newcomer, and he didn't understand the market and lowered the price.
And there is an additional condition in the contract, that is, in the next year, if Chu Yu has a new comic, he can only choose to submit it to the Cuttlefish Comics Club, even if the serialization meeting of the Cuttlefish Comics Club does not pass Chu Yu's new serialization. In this case, you cannot submit your work to other comic journals!
As compensation, the Cuttlefish Comic Society gave Chu Yu a certain economic subsidy to a certain extent!
However, the subsidy intensity is far inferior to even the urban subsistence allowances, which is worse than nothing!
Chu Yu looked at this additional condition and was silent for a long time.
"This is an industry rule, don't say that the three major manga clubs in the city are only influential in one province, even if it is a large manga club with sales channels all over the country like the Seventh Magic Capital, newcomers want to be serialized in their journals. , must accept similar additional conditions, not unique to our company." Su Yan was afraid that Chu Yu would think too much and explained to him.
After all, it is impossible for any comics club to cultivate a potential newcomer in its own journals, and then let them switch jobs at will and wait for a price. Although such terms are overbearing, if you want to embark on the road of comics, first The first step is to accept it.
Accept it, and only after becoming famous can you be qualified to negotiate with the capital side.
Chu Yu understood this, he just thought that this was the first contract he had signed in his life, and that after signing this contract, he was half a person who stepped into society.
While earning income according to the contract agreement, it will also be bound by the agreement on it.
For a time, there was some fear and fear, but more of it was excitement!
Chu Yu picked up the pen and felt a little cold. He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and signed his name on it without hesitation!
With a smile on his lips, Su Yan stood up and stretched out his hand to Chu Yu!
"Teacher Shui Xin, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
Chu Yu nodded with a smile, and shook hands with her. After the two exchanged a few words, Su Yu took Chu Yu from the eighteenth floor of the Cuttlefish Comics and left the building.
Su Yan, who returned to the office again, took out Chu Yu's original contribution to the Court of Leaves.
Looking at these beautiful cartoons, Su Yan took a deep breath.
To be honest, at the comic series conference, basically no one was optimistic about Chu Yu's work.
First, Chu Yu is not famous, and the reviewers are cautious!
The second is that the style of Chu Yu's work is specious. It is neither a traditional campus romance nor an adult workplace emotion.
The love between teachers and students is not to mention. The actor Qiu Yue and the heroine Yukino just talk to each other at the end of the emotional explosion, and they stop abruptly when the emotional brewing of the whole work reaches its climax.
But it is true that this work has a beautiful style of painting, and the rhythm and narrative are not procrastinated, and the plot is not bloody.
Therefore, she defied all opinions. Although she failed to win the serialization on Manying, she tried her best to help Chu Yu win the opportunity to be serialized on Moying.
Because this work makes Su Yan feel a kind of spirituality, she is not sure whether this work will sell well, but she feels touched when she sees this work!
For an editor who has read many manuscripts like her, it is rare for a work to give her such a feeling!
So instead of saying that Su Yu signed Chu Yu because of this work, it is better to say that Su Yu is optimistic about Chu Yu's potential.
High school students, and it's just the first manga that has this quality, even if the work doesn't catch on.
What about the next work?
Chu Yu returned home and lay heavily on the bed. Although he didn't do any physical work, he was still a little tired.
He added the editor Su Yan's number on his mobile phone, and Weixin Penguin naturally also added a friend.
At this time, Su Weixin sent the last message.
"Everything is going well, and the serialization has also been put on the agenda. Next week, Mo Ying has a work that is about to end. The editor-in-chief has agreed that the Garden of Words will be published next week to take the place of that work."
Efficient so fast?
Chu Yu was stunned.
But after thinking about it, the serializations on Mo Ying are basically short comics, and most of them are newcomers and some talented cartoonists who publish their works on it.
It is also normal to have a seat published in the near future.
On the mobile phone, there were several calls from the head teacher.
Chu Yu thought about it for a while, and made up the reason why he was sick and caught a cold at will, and asked for leave by the way!
If he didn't go to class, Chu Yu was alone in the empty room. Chu Yu also got up and went to the living room to put incense sticks on his parents' spiritual seat.
Chu Yu sighed, maybe it was because of the early death of his parents that no one restrained him so he would have no fear of skipping classes before asking for leave!
It's also because I live alone that I'm addicted to anime, things like the second dimension!
In the end, I even got this cartoonist system and became a cartoonist!
Chu Yu looked at the portraits of his parents and said suddenly after being silent for a while.
"Mom and dad, if people really have such things as souls, you don't have to worry about me. Your son, although I used to play games and watch anime all day, but now I'm a cartoonist, and I've earned 30,000 yuan. Five thousand dollars, it's finally half a member of society!"
"With my grades, it's natural to be the best in college. If I don't get into college, I'll be a cartoonist in the future! I won't starve to death if I want to come here!"
"Well, that's it!"
After a few words, Chu Yu seemed to be in a much better mood, and opened the curtains to let the sun shine in.
In the beginning, after getting this system, Chu Yu just wanted to see more excellent comics from different dimensions.
That's why I was fooled by the system to draw comics.
but now.
The wind blew gently, and Chu Yu took a deep breath.
Although it is mainly copying, it can not only make money, but also read excellent works from many parallel worlds.
Thinking about it this way, it seems pretty good to be a cartoonist and use it as a profession!
