Entertainment, I am a great artist

At noon, Liu Ying cooked a sumptuous meal for everyone.

But everyone didn't pay attention to eating, the battle ended in a hurry, and the three of them walked out the door.

Lan Qin went directly to his studio.

Her studio is called [Rose].

Today, the person on duty in the studio is a third-year school girl, who can be regarded as the assistant writer of the studio.

Seeing Lan Qin coming in, the school girl was a little surprised, "Sister Lan, why are you here?"

"There is a new manuscript, let's deal with it." Lan Qin replied, while handing the manuscript to the junior, "Wen Ning, scan and process the manuscript."

Manga submissions must be in electronic format.

Therefore, the comics of "One Piece" must be uploaded to the computer first.

"Okay, Miss Lan."

Wen Ning took the manuscript, turned on the work computer, and while typing quickly, asked curiously, "Sister Lan, is this your new work? I think your artistry has improved a lot."

"It's not mine, it's one of our juniors."

"Us, junior?" Wen Ning froze for a moment.

She has been in Qiangwei studio since her freshman year, and in more than two years, she has gradually mixed up from doing odd jobs to being an assistant writer, but their juniors are at most sophomores.

Has it already been published?
And the artist is still a master.

I feel a little sour in my heart.

Wen Ning was processing the manuscript, and Lan Xin directly logged into another work computer and opened the submission website.

Qiangwei mainly cooperates with a comic website called Big Horned Worm.

But because of this, the price of comics has been unable to increase, but artificial wages have skyrocketed. If it wasn't for the high profits of comics, Lan Xin would have wanted to change her career.

However, changing the website is equivalent to losing some of the readers who followed.

It's very confusing.

But this time, after Lan Qin took a look at the Big Horned Worm website, his heart suddenly moved, and he opened the other two comic websites.

Penguin comics and hip-hop comics.

These are two very different sites from Bighorn.

Penguin Comics is Bluestar's largest comic website, with the highest guaranteed price for manuscripts, but correspondingly, the quality requirements for comics are also high.

Lan Qin submitted several manuscripts, but without exception, they were all rejected.

Hip-Hop Comics is a newly opened comic website with a large number of manuscripts, and it also pays more attention to experienced studios. It wants to attract a wave of authors from Penguin and Bighorn Worm.

After Wen Ning finished sorting out the first ten paintings of "One Piece", Lan Qin quickly voted to the mailboxes of the three websites.

Then log in to the chat account and remind the editor.

[Editor, a new manuscript has been sent to the mailbox, please take a look. 】

【Okay, Rose. 】

The three editors responded quickly.

Unlike novels, comics have relatively high barriers to entry, so there are relatively few authors, and the services of editors are also very enthusiastic.

In less than half an hour, the editor of the big horned bug replied first.

[Lan Qin, I just read your manuscript, and I think it's a good work, I can sign it. 】

[Editor, can you mention the price? 】Lan Qin probed.

[This may be difficult. As you know, the big horned bug has been on the verge of losing money. If it wasn't for a long-term cooperation, the editor-in-chief would have lowered the price for you. 】

[Then let me think about it. 】

Lan Qin didn't agree immediately.

Qiangwei Studio has been serialized in Big Hornworm for two years, and released five works, with an average price of 700 yuan per painting.

looks great.

But a cartoon is between a dozen and twenty.

On average, each work is about 50 yuan.

After deducting labor, consumables, etc., the profit of the studio is not high. As for the hundreds of thousands of monthly income that I told Fang Yi at noon, it is just the beginning of the studio.

Now, Rose Studio's profits have been declining.

The second person who replied was Hip-Hop Comics.

[Hi, Qiangwei, we have read your manuscript here and are very satisfied. What is your price requirement? 】

[Hello editor, I hope it will be 1000 yuan per painting. 】Lan Qin gritted her teeth and called out a high price.

[Well, the price is quite high, but I can apply to the editor-in-chief. 】

The other party did not immediately refuse.

Lan Qin couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Applying to the editor-in-chief is actually a routine.

Correct.

It's like buying vegetables in a vegetable market, and the stall owner calls for a dollar. Whether you give ninety-nine or ten cents, the stall owner will struggle with you.

But whether it can be sold is another matter.

If the price is right, I will pretend to think about it, if it is not right, I will just drive the person away.

So, the other party has actually agreed to the 1000 yuan you shouted?
Did you shout low?

Lan Qin was a little confused.

But it is obviously inappropriate to raise the price again at this time.

At this time, Penguin Comic replied.

[Hi Qiangwei studio, we read your cartoon here and think it will be a fine work. We suggest a guarantee of 1500 yuan per painting. Can you accept it? 】

Hey!
Lan Qin was taken aback.

I have submitted at least three manuscripts to Penguin before, but they all failed without exception. This time, not only did I pass the manuscript, but I also gave a high price of 1500.

It is exactly double the previous price.

It is clear that the editor is very optimistic about this work.

What else is there to disagree with.

[Editor, I accept this signing condition. 】

[Okay, according to the signing process of the website, as long as you create a work in the background and upload ten paintings, you can ask me to sign it. 】

Compared with Bighorn Bug and Hip Hop, Penguin Editor's work efficiency is very fast.

In just 10 minutes, he assisted Lan Qin to sign the work.

Of course, what Lan Qin wants to do is not a simple black-and-white manga, but a high-quality color manga. However, after the coloring is completed, just replace the previous one.

At this time, the editor of the big horned bug sent a message.

[Lan Qin, have you considered it? 】

[Sorry, big, I just signed a contract with Penguin Comics for 1500 Yihua. 】 Lan Qin replied.

[Oh, Lan Qin, why didn't you say anything, I just applied to the editor-in-chief, and I mentioned a thousand and five one paintings to you. 】

[This is a bit regrettable. 】

[Or, break the contract with that side. 】Editor's suggestion.

Lan Qin sneered and closed the dialog box directly.

Break the contract!

What do you think, our Qiangwei is a reputable studio, and we have broken the contract with Penguin, how can we mess around in the comics industry in the future.

Low is not low!
At this time, the editor of the hip-hop comic also replied.

[Hello Qiangwei, after careful consideration, we agreed to sign "One Piece" at a price of one thousand one painting. 】

【Rose Studio, are you still there? 】

【rose? 】

……

After the other party sent several conversations in a row, Lan Qin moved the mouse.

Deleted the other party.

Ah!
In fact, breach of contract or something is very common in the comics industry.

Even through the network cable, you can't bite me, I'm afraid you're a hammer.

If you have the ability, come to the studio to find me!

In short, I will not give you the address!
