"It's obviously an adventure comic, but how can it be ranked first on the list of funny comics? How can we be fooled by this?"
"It's over, I don't have any face at all. If this goes on for a long time, you won't award the funny comic of the year to this big devil, right?"
"I hate the big devil! I hate myself for not living up to expectations!"
A group of cartoonists in the comedy circle are wailing.
The comic fans watched the fun with amusement, and gave sarcastic words such as "please work hard".
Of course it was just for fun and a joke.
Oda Shingo has occupied the top spot in the manga circle several times, and there is no longer any doubt about his ability.
The big guys from the horror comics list, urban comics list, and hot-blooded comics list next door all said that they were under a lot of pressure!
Fortunately, there are happy people after all.
The romance comics list is full of singing and dancing.
If there could be a banquet, they would be toasting in celebration.
"Hahaha! Let Oda Shingo make trouble, I don't believe he can cross over to us this time!"
"That's right! The last time the parasitic beast had a heroine, but this time the Egyptian adventure of a group of stinky men, I don't believe it can be related to love!"
"That's right, among all the lists, we are the safest!"
A young romance cartoonist suddenly got interested and circled Oda Shingo: "Hmph! Great Demon King, if you have the ability, come and take a look at our love list! x-on:OWADASHINGO"
"!"
"!!"
"!!!"
"Oh! You are seeking death! Why did you trap him?!"
"Get out of here quickly! Your sister! You don't mess with Mount Fuji, but you mess with Tokyo Bay! You mess with whoever it is not good for you to mess with!"
The hair on the hair of many romance cartoonists stood up immediately.
"What are you afraid of? If he draws a love story, Jojo's story will collapse. How dare he draw it?"
"This...seems to make sense."
"Indeed, no matter how you think about it, Jojo and love really don't go together."
Although a group of romance comic artists were a little uneasy, after thinking about it carefully, they were generally relieved.
After all, many years of experience tell them that Jojo’s style is really not compatible with love!
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, although we don't have any heroes, the big devil won't come.
They are here to worry and comfort themselves, while on the other side, Oda Shingo has returned from Springfield Bookstore.
The agreement was reached very smoothly at that time.
From the moment President Sadako Haruta mentioned Sister Yukino, the conversation between the two immediately became much more harmonious.
This is not a comparison of how hostile they were before, but it is like having a bond and being able to accept the other party's conditions more tolerantly.
Haruta Sadako obviously has a good relationship with Mrs. Yukino, and Oda Shingo also owes a lot to her.
As a result, the two parties quickly reached an agreement of intent.
"This meeting with you, Ms. Springfield, feels like a spring breeze."
The other party supported Oda Shingo's pioneering ideas.
At the same time, Haruta Sadako also reminded him very tactfully to pay attention to his health.
"Although you are young, don't lose your energy. Sister Yukino cares about you very much. Don't let her worry too much about this."
Oda Shingo didn't think much about it, and focused mainly on negotiating business conditions.
The conditions given by President Springfield are also very good. The surrounding area only requires exclusivity, and does not require one-time authorization, but allows a market commission-style plan.
Moreover, the calculation of commission is not the profit amount, but the sales volume, which makes Oda Shingo very satisfied.
Many new authors are not aware of how false the "profit" commission calculation is. I signed the contract just because I saw that the commission rate on the profit could be as high as 20%, but I didn't know that this amount might not be as much as the 2% commission on sales.
For example, there is a cartoonist who draws animals from hundreds of millions of years ago. The cartoon has been popular for a while and has caught up with the popularity of special photography films, so the peripheral products are selling quite well.
But when he happily spent a lot of money in advance and even joined the golf club as a senior member, he was dumbfounded when the license fee was collected at the end of the year.
"Mashaka..."
I thought I would get a high share of the profits after selling the surrounding items, but in the end I only made tens of thousands of yen.
In his left hand was a thick stack of installment bills, and in his right hand was a thin commission check. The cartoonist burst into tears.
If there had been an Internet at that time, this incident would have become a "good talk".
And because the agreement is valid for fifty years. This has led to the fact that today, 30 years later, even though the comics and animations have been reprinted many times, this animal character style has always been popular, but it still cannot bring the expected benefits to the author.
This is the calculation of the profit amount when signing the agreement.
There are many ways to calculate profits or losses, but if you are a bit shady, the cartoonist will suffer big losses.
But when capitalists settle accounts, they always show a sly smile.
Calculating commissions to give to others is not just the feeling of taking out a few fried slices from your pocket, but also the huge pain of cutting out the flesh from your own body!
I won’t give you that much!
This is just like buying anime blind boxes or graphics card blind boxes nowadays. Others put things in with their eyes open. As a buyer, do you think the seller is blind or you yourself are stupid?
In contrast, sales are not easy to keep in accounts and can be easily checked, so regardless of the sales commission, the commission is often only one-tenth of the profit, but many smart signers choose sales commission.
Therefore, President Haruta directly expressed his intention to sign a contract with a commission on sales, which is a very good attitude.
Shingo Oda also reciprocated the favor and made it clear that he can maintain the previous discounts on licensing surrounding his works.
Before leaving, the president also brought many snacks and gifts to Oda Shingo, which made him feel very comfortable.
Back on the second floor, Oda Shingo divided the snacks.
"I like this Ms. Haruta!" Fujido Xiangcheng licked her fingers to show her attitude.
If she hadn't deliberately leaned over to lick her fingers, Oda Shingo would have believed her.
I always felt that her actions seemed to have some meaning.
"You should read less messy books." Oda Shingo didn't know what to say, so he could only reply with this sentence.
"I stopped looking a long time ago. After all, I have seen you here for real." Toudo Xiangcheng said in a low voice, and glanced at Oda Shingo. This glance was full of green light, full of autumn spinach feeling. .
Namikaze Youkaku glared coldly at him, and Toudou Kouchi walked away.
"Xinwu, this thick fish grill is delicious." Namikaze Yukaku fed him with his own hands.
Oda Shingo was a little flattered, so he quickly took it and ate it himself.
He had long decided to keep his distance until his career was successful. After all, when you’re already drawing comics, who wants to fall in love?
But Namikaze Yukaku was tired of being next to him, watching him eat snacks and taking out a few tissues for him.
"I forgot to clean you up last time, and someone stole it." Namikaze Youkaku's voice was also deep.
Oda Shingo: "?"
Just in time, he saw the news that a cartoonist had circled him.
Um? Love list?
"This is a provocation! Hong Guoguo's provocation!" Oda Shingo quickly stood up and showed everyone the arguments of the love list cartoonists.
Then, he clenched his fist like a mustache and launched a call.
"We need jojo to be more exciting and make the enemy disappear into ashes!"
"Jojo will lead our studio to one victory after another!"
"Now the first goal: let the love list fall!"
"Huh? Love list?" Yuko Mikami stopped writing.
Todo Kaojo and Namikaze Yukaku read more books than comics, but Mikami Yuko is a dedicated reader of regular comics.
She felt that Jojo had nothing to do with romance comics, and asked in surprise: "Which character wants to fall in love?"
"In order to enhance the sense of contrast, it is naturally the last thing to fall in love."
"Jonathan Joestar?"
"Ahem, twilight love can only be used as an adjustment."
"Abdel is also older. Then who else...Jotaro? Kakyoin? The two of them are the most suitable..."
"Cough cough cough cough cough..." Oda Shingo almost choked to death.
Could it be that Yuko Mikami has read a lot of BL comics? At least it's a CP comic, right? On the other hand, on Earth, there are many fanfics of these two characters.
Yuko Mikami's eyes widened suddenly: "Ah, could it be Polnareff?!"
Oda Shingo made a BINGO gesture and smiled: "Well, it's Bobo!"
