Chapter 6 : Sign a contract

In the morning, several editors of Weekly Youth looked at the closed conference room and talked a lot.

“Who is the person inside, why would the editor-in-chief personally entertain him?”

There are regulations in the editorial department that outsiders cannot be allowed in and out at will. However, the editor-in-chief Ye Xiong brought two people back early in the morning, and pulled the teenagers into the conference room to talk secretly. This matter made all the editors curious.

“Maybe it’s a relative of the editor-in-chief.”

Someone responded this way, but they were immediately opposed by others: “Don’t talk nonsense, the editor-in-chief has always distinguished between public and private, and will not do such a thing.”

“Since I am not a relative, I can only be a cartoonist.”

“No way, it looks like he is only 16 or 7 years old, how can there be such a young cartoonist!”

“Just ask Professor Yang who went out with the editor-in-chief.”

“Professor, come here!”

The editors looked at Sun Yang. The young editor was packing his briefcase and replied: “That kid is the author of “Detective Conan”. I have to rush to collect the manuscript and I won’t chat with you.”

He did not postpone the receiving date of Teacher Tomato. In addition to daily affairs, the comic editor has to act as the agent of the cartoonist. Tomato is the best-selling professional cartoonist under Sun Yang. Compared with the young Meng Huo, Sun Yang is of course better. Care about him.

However, when listening to “Detective Conan”, other editors immediately remembered the newcomer manga praised by the editor-in-chief a while ago…

“That kid is the original!?”

“very young…”

The editorial department is boiling.

“Professor Yang, isn’t that the genius you discovered! Why didn’t you go to the meeting room?”

The editors focused their eyes on Sun Yang, and Sun Yang touched his head in a puzzled manner: “I don’t know, forget it, I won’t tell you anymore, I have to rush to collect the manuscript!”

He picked up his briefcase and walked out of the editorial office.

The editorial department was quiet, and it took a long time to hear a boo.

“Is he a fool?”

The performance of comic editors is linked to the cartoonists in charge. Generally speaking, newcomer cartoonists follow the standards of who finds out who is the responsible editor. As the editor-in-chief, Ye Xiong would not be the editor in charge, so everyone thought that “Detective Conan” had fallen into Sun Yang’s hands.

But this fool doesn’t care at all?

You don’t want me to—Many editors are eager. “Detective Conan” is a potential comic. In case of a popular release, the editor in charge of it will definitely be rewarded, but how should I convince Ye Xiong!

I don’t know that everyone outside seems to have regarded themselves as sweet pastry. In the meeting room, Meng Huo explained the follow-up story of “Detective Conan”.

“Yes, very good.”

Ye Xiong nodded again and again, he was worried that Meng Huo’s talent would not last, but after listening to the explanation, he felt that his worries appeared to be a lot.

He immediately explained the manuscript fee to Meng Huo and also talked about royalties.

“If the single-line version is issued, the general newcomer’s royalty is 5%, we can increase it to 10% for you.” Ye Xiong sat opposite him and said: “This is the highest share in the industry, and we hope to use it in exchange for yours. Promise that within ten years, comics will give priority to our company.”

“Priority?”

Meng Huo frowned. Is this promise to tie him to Phoenix Company? He doesn’t like that.

“It’s only priority under the same conditions. Assuming someone pays higher than us, then you can choose freely.” Ye Xiong explained with a smile: “I want to write it into the contract. This is a treaty that is beneficial to both of us. ”

Meng Huo was stunned.

This is what pie in the sky is talking about. The editor-in-chief is really bold. He is willing to throw such a big bait for the little-known Meng Huo. Meng Huo has no reason to refuse.

“it is good.”

After discussing everything, Li Qin accompanies Meng to get ready to sign the contract.

But before signing the contract, Li Qin suddenly hesitated. She has heard the gossip news of many celebrities. Even if the cartoonist is different from the celebrities, but Meng Huo is still young, can she still maintain a peaceful life after debut?

“Please rest assured, madam, we can sign a confidential contract.”

Ye Xiong was prepared for a long time. He came up with a confidentiality contract: “Our company will strictly keep Meng Huo’s identity and age information confidential and will never disclose it.”

With this contract, Li Qincai calmly helped Meng Huo sign the formal contract. From this moment on, Meng Huo has become a genuine professional cartoonist. His remuneration is 200 per page, and the book royalties are 10%. That is to say, for every book sold for 30 yuan, Meng Huo can get three yuan. .

Meng Huo surpassed several obstacles at once. He didn’t know that it would be even more difficult for other cartoonists to become professional cartoonists!

“The manuscript will be published in the magazine in a few weeks. Please prepare early for the next plot.” After Ye Xiong received the contract, he smiled at the mother and son: “Let us know when we move, and we will send someone to help.”

Li Qin was surprised when he heard this: “Moving, what house to move?”

“Of course I moved to Ninghai City.” Ye Xiong looked at her, a little surprised: “Does Meng Huo want to work in Jiangnan Province? That’s too far away. It is not safe to post every submission. The key is that there is no responsibility. The editor assisted him, and it was very troublesome to ask an assistant.”

Comics are not the same as novels. They are simple on the surface and are actually rich in a lot of work. A manuscript has to go through many steps such as text, splits, drafts, and so on. One shot requires dozens of drawings. The editor’s guidance and the help of assistants are good for the profession. Cartoonists are very important.

“But we never considered moving!” Li Qin stood up in a panic: “I don’t have a job here, and he doesn’t have a registered permanent residence to go to school. Moving is simply not realistic!”

Although Meng Huo’s remuneration is very high, Li Qin is still worried that he will find no other way out in the future, and she wants him to continue his schooling.

“Madam, I don’t think he needs to go to high school.” However, Ye Xiong didn’t think so. He frowned and said: “Graduating from college may not have the talents of Meng Huo. Going to school is a waste of time for him. It will be better in comics!”

“Manga artists are very dependent on their talents. Mrs. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com should believe in Meng Huo. Now there are definitely no more than fifty people who can draw the manga “Detective Conan”, and they are all thirty or forty. Year-old professional cartoonist.”

Ye Xiong told the truth, he didn’t even count the potential represented by the last picture. The level of cartoonists in this world is generally low, no better than Meng Huo, who has been studying for a long time in his previous life. However, Li Qin still refuses to compromise. With her traditional nature, she firmly believes that’learning is the best way out’ and insists on not letting Meng Huo leave the school.

Just as the two were arguing, Li Qin’s cell phone rang.

“You answer the phone first.”

Ye Xiong gestured, Li Qin picked up the phone: “Hello?”

“Teacher Bai, yes… I am Meng Huo’s mother, what’s the matter?”

“What, the high school entrance examination results? I didn’t see it, it came out today?…7,725! Are you sure you are right?”

Ye Xiong was surprised to find that Li Qin’s face became more and more red, and his voice quivered.

“Okay, okay, yes, no problem, I will definitely notify him!”

After she hung up the phone, she hugged Meng Huo regardless of Ye Xiong’s presence: “Xiao Huo, you got 725 points in the high school entrance examination! It is full of 25 points, second in the county!”

Meng Huo was dumbfounded, 725 points? How could it be higher than he expected?

Ye Xiong stood up: “I’m sorry, ma’am, I’d better take back what I just said.”

“…If Meng Huo’s grades are so good, then go to school.” A light flashed in his eyes, and he said, “But he is coming to Ninghai. We can help with the registration and school.”
