Big Manga

Chapter 50 : You don’t have to blink your eyes

October 17th.

“Cheers!”

In the bachelor’s apartment, three women toasted with drinks, and the ground was full of snacks.

“I said Liu Bian, “Weekly Girl” sold more than “Girls Comic” for the first time, and you only offered me a drink.” A woman laughed: “Is this too stingy?”

“It’s not bad if I ask you to eat.” The second woman, Liu Xuan, editor of the Weekly Girl’s editorial department, grabbed the potato chips and chewed: “Weekly Girl’s victory is because of He Xi and Teacher Hua Meng, what are you doing? lively.”

“Am I not curious?”

The woman smiled and looked at the last person, Hua Meng, who was the assistant to the comics of “Inuyasha”: “Teacher Hua Meng, now you can hug your thighs. Before Inuyasha came out, I squeezed a sweat. I didn’t expect it to happen. Fire!”

At this time, “Weekly Girl” has been on sale for one day, and preliminary sales statistics have been completed. The results are far beyond people’s expectations. Its sales in Ninghai and surrounding areas surpassed “Girls Comic”, which attracted a lot of surprise.

“Girls Manga” was a sales winner before. Two magazines were released at the same time this week. “Weekly Girls” not only filled the gap, but also gradually widened the distance.

He Xi has created a miracle again. His popularity in the market has made countless media fall into the eye. Readers on the Internet use the phrase “Ning Xin Zhuguo does not believe in the media” to describe their anger at being cheated. This sentence can now be seen in various forums. words.

And the girl cartoonists who knew that Hua Meng was the assistant of “Inuyasha” also ran to congratulate Hua Meng, who almost failed to step on the door of Hua Meng in two days, which made the latter feel helpless.

“Actually, I really didn’t help. These are the results of Teacher He Xi.”

Hua Meng answered like this every time. The pictures and characters in “Inuyasha” are basically He Xi responsible, and she only deals with the more cumbersome little things such as shadows, lines, and dots. There is really no reason to be congratulated.

“Teacher Hua Meng, don’t be humble, but teacher He Xi is indeed amazing. His “Detective Conan” serialized in “Weekly Shonen” has won the first place in the survey of the flash report, Xiaozheng and all readers every day. Send a hundred letters to the editorial department!”

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

“You have to stand up, especially Teacher Huameng!” Liu Xuan pointed to Huameng, 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 more advice. .”

“I know.”

Hua Meng nodded. She and Teacher Tomato are both cartoonists carefully selected by the editorial department. Putting He Xi next to them is actually for further studies. The editorial department hopes that they can draw better cartoons in the future.

On October 18th, Hua Meng went to Meng Huo’s home for work. The first two days were Ninghai No. 1 mid-term high school exams, and the work of Inuyasha has been pushed to this day.

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

“You drink water first, they are discussing things.” Li Qin handed a glass of water to Hua Meng, and smiled: “When they finish discussing, you can go in again.”

“Okay, Sister Qin.” Hua Meng took a sip of water, and asked curiously: “What are they talking about?”

“It seems to be an increase in the price of manuscript fees, and your company is really…” Li Qin said with a smile: “200 is enough for each picture, but I didn’t expect it to increase.”

“Price increase.”

Huameng is not surprised. Meng Huo has made a great contribution to Phoenix, and it is normal to increase the manuscript fee.

Not long after, Alice walked out, still holding a stack of papers in her hand.

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

“Well, each picture is 600 Hua Xia coins, and the royalty is still 10%.”

“Bang!” Teacher Hua Meng slammed into the goalpost and covered his forehead.

600 per picture! ? 10% royalties! ? No matter which standard is said, it will shock a lot of people. The best cartoonist of Phoenix Company has only 300 pictures per picture, and the royalty does not exceed 8%. Longteng’s cartoonists pay a lot of manuscript fees, and there are many cartoonists with 800 sheets. However, due to copyright issues, the maximum royalties of those cartoonists are only 3%!

Teacher He Xi is now the most expensive person in the comics world. How much money can you make at such a high price? Hua Meng walked into the study in a daze.

“Teacher Hua Meng, ready to work.”

Meng Huo was finishing the painting tools and looked up at Hua Meng’s face: “What’s wrong with you?”

“No…nothing.” Hua Meng patted her face and forced herself not to think too much. She smiled: “Congratulations, Teacher He Xi, “Inuyasha” is selling well in the market, and the quick report survey is also number one.”

“Does “Weekly Girls” sell more than “Girls Manga”?”

Meng Huo is only interested in this result.

“Exceeded.” Hua Meng nodded: “Yesterday’s new serialization of “Girls Manga” increased its sales by 30,000 copies, but “Weekly Girls” sales increased by 300,000 copies.”

She is very envious. The sales of “Weekly Girl” benefited from “Inuyasha”. However, “Inuyasha” can show its effect so quickly, of course, because the readers of Hexi have already gained scale.

“Teacher He Xi, your influence can be compared with that of a first-line novelist!”

Hua Meng couldn’t help but praise, but Meng Huo laughed: “I can’t compare their influence. It’s very good to compare with those second-rate novelists The influence of novels in this world is better than comics. Much older, and Meng Huo’s debut time is very short.

But Hua Meng didn’t believe his words: “Teacher, don’t be humble. The author of “Girls Comic” is a little god, and her market performance is not as good as yours!”

She uses sales comparison to measure influence, which is the wrong way.

“That is normal.”

Meng Huo replied, and then shook his head: “Comics and novels are originally different, you guys… just think novelists are too terrible.”

He admitted that Longteng’s method is very useful, but comics and novels are different things. Each comic has only 20 pages, and the content of these pages must be reasonably arranged. The novelists don’t know anything about this, how can they? How about drawing the comics?

Even if the cartoonists they cooperate with know, but they divide the work and cooperate, and the novelists are the leading ones. It is easy to not cooperate well and problems will arise at any time.

Furthermore, what are the reasons why those novels and comics are so popular? The original, of course, is the original-without the support of the original, it sounds terrible for novelists to enter the comics world, but how many readers would be interested in comics without the original?

A novelist becomes a cartoonist? How could the transformation be so simple, and it would become a big joke if you accidentally, especially for Meng Huo, he and the novelist competed to draw comics, and that was crushing all the way…

One by one, he stepped on one by one, without blinking his eyes.
