I just want to draw cartoons quietly

"As long as you sign this contract now, in the next ten years, Phoenix's manga star will be you, Teacher Shui Xin!"

"Uh, this... the copyright of all the comics produced during the ten-year period will be owned by Phoenix, and the authors will receive a certain percentage of dividends. This seems a bit too much, and the percentage of dividends is also very low!" Although Chu Yu didn't think about it, I paid attention to him, but I was also idle and bored, just glanced at him casually.

"There is also this one, which probably means that there is no guarantee that my work will be serialized in the periodicals of Phoenix Comic Club, but even if it is a work that cannot be serialized in the periodicals of Phoenix Comics, my work cannot be delivered to other companies!"

"There is also this one... If the contract is breached within the contract period, the liquidated damages will be ten times the income I earn in Phoenix... Can such a treaty be supported by the law? Of course, I will After a casual glance, I saw so many treaties restricting me, but there was no mention of what kind of obligations Phoenix will fulfill and what benefits it can bring to me and my works... "Chu Yu didn't continue.

"For the Seventh University of Shanghai, such a contract is very normal. If you want to get the full support of the comic book club, it is quite necessary to sign such a contract." Song Jiayu said with a smile.

"I'd better think about it!" Chu Yu didn't want to talk nonsense with him.

"Of course, I hope Teacher Shui Xin can think about it as soon as possible. The remuneration of this contract is based on the premise that Teacher Shui Xin's work will win the Dragon Star Award. If after next week, the selection of the Dragon Star Award It's over, Rurouni Kenshin's Memories is regrettably lost, when Teacher Shuixin plans to cooperate with Phoenix, the treatment may not be like this!"

"Let's talk about it then!" Chu Yu ignored him.

After the selection of the Dragon Star Award is over, I'm afraid Song Jiayu will hate him to the bone, and cooperate?

"In that case, I won't bother you today!" Song Jiayu got up and left.

After going out, Song Jiayu looked a little displeased.

Although it is true that some pitfalls were buried in the contract for Chu Yu, those are also preset terms for the convenience of controlling Chu Yu in the future, and the treatment is really good, but Chu Yu's attitude is almost written on his face You go away expression.

The look of disgust is beyond words.

He, Song Jiayu, had anyone ever treated him like this?

.......

After a long time, another week has passed.

On Friday, Zhao Qinyin and Chu Yu, who both asked for leave from school, gathered at the airport.

After all, with cuttlefish paying for it, Chu Yu was also happy.

Zhao Qinyin also changed into her everyday casual clothes, looking quiet and beautiful.

Song Jiayu, who had been waiting at the airport long ago, couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

This made Chu Yu a little alert. Although this guy has a bad reputation, it's not like a high school student like Zhao Qinyin has ideas!

Although the editor-in-chief Pang Feng met Chu Yu at the annual meeting, the two of them hardly talked, so they paid more attention to Chu Yu. After chatting with Chu Yu, the topic started to chat.

The person who can be the editor-in-chief does have a lot of skills. At least the conversation with Pang Feng made Chu Yu feel pretty good.

On the plane, Chu Yu was a little worried, and deliberately switched seats with Zhao Qinyin, and sat next to Song Jiayu.

Accompanied by a feeling of weightlessness and acceleration, Chu Yu, who was on a plane for the first time, looked out the window curiously.

Below, Ming City, the capital of Los Angeles Province, appears so small that it can be seen at a glance.

"How about it, Teacher Shui Xin, isn't Ming City very small!" Song Jiayu said.

"In terms of the devil's capital, it is more than ten times bigger than here!"

"There are many more opportunities there than here."

"So... how do you think about the contract?"

"Well, you will know my answer after the Dragon Star Awards are over!" Chu Yu looked at him and smiled.

"Definitely satisfy you!"

It's just that Song Jiayu always felt that Chu Yu's smile was a little weird, but he couldn't tell why it was weird?

"Then I will wait for the good news from Teacher Shui Xin." Song Jiayu said.

For Chu Yu, Song Jiayu still cared about him.

With Chu Yu's youth and the manga talent he showed.

Song Jiayu's hope for Chu Yu must be more than a Dragon Star Award.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with Chu Yu's current talent, he might be the second genius cartoonist like Tang Xin.

After really signing the contract with Phoenix, using this gimmick to hype up, coupled with Chu Yu's own strength, Song Jiayu felt that Chu Yu should be able to rise in the magic city soon.

At that time, Song Jiayu will be able to share all of Chu Yu's achievements.

This will be of great benefit to his career development when he returns to the Magic City and Phoenix in the future. These are all real achievements, and they are also the capital for him to be promoted in Phoenix in the future and take the position of his father!

Thinking of the benefits Chu Yu could bring him, the resentment towards Chu Yu's request to change positions with Zhao Qinyin gradually dissipated.

Chapter 85 Magic City

Modu, the economic center of the Dragon Kingdom.

Here, elites from all walks of life in the Dragon Kingdom gather.

Similarly, in the comic world of Dragon Kingdom, the status of Shanghai is very important. Except for the special place of RB Island, the comic city of Magic Capital is the benchmark of the comic circle of Dragon Kingdom.

After more than three hours of high-altitude flight, Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin undoubtedly feel much more stable when they set their feet on the ground again.

It's just that the feeling of airsickness may take a while to go away.

As soon as they walked out of the airport, Pang Feng and Song Jiayu, who were used to seeing big scenes, looked normal, while Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin looked around.

After leaving the airport, I saw a familiar scene as soon as I went out.Advertisements from all walks of life are pasted on buses and subway passages.

Real estate information, high-end restaurants, celebrity endorsements, and of course there are comic characters who are popular in Shanghai.

Chu Yu walked along with a curious look on his face.

Soon, after nearly an hour's drive, a group of four arrived at a hotel that didn't look cheap.

"This is the hotel arranged by the Dragon Star Award Committee. Besides us, the authors of the ten works that entered the second round of selection after the first round of selection and the staff of the comic companies behind them were all invited here." Editor-in-Chief Pang Feng obviously knew these matters very well.

After arriving here, Pang Feng made a phone call, and soon, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather collar walked out of the hotel elevator with a smile on his face.

"Friends from Los Angeles, welcome! I am a staff member of the Dragon Star Award selection committee, responsible for your accommodation, hospitality and safety issues in Los Angeles before the selection meeting. My name is Lin Yong..."

As he spoke, Lin Yong sized up Chu Yu and the other four with his eyes, and murmured in his heart.

Although Chu Yu and Zhao Qinyin did not wear school uniforms, but changed into their usual casual clothes, the age of the two can be seen at a glance.

Two boys and girls aged seventeen or eighteen, together with a middle-aged man and a young man.

There is obviously something wrong with this combination.

The other comic teams that Lin Yong entertained today are usually five or six people. The comic authors will definitely be there, and the editors needless to say. The senior managers of the comic agency may or may not come depending on their arrangements. As for the comic assistants or others Whether members of the comic creation team have the opportunity to come depends entirely on the arrangement of the comic agency.

But whichever team?

I haven't seen anyone under the age of 20, let alone one or two?

"Uh, I don't know everyone, but who is the author of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, Master Shuixin?" Lin Yong asked suspiciously.

"By the way, it was my mistake!" Pang Feng said.

Look to Chu Yu and the others to introduce them one by one.

"This one is Song Jiayu, deputy editor-in-chief of our Cuttlefish Comic Club."

"This is Zhao Qinyin, the manga assistant for Rurouni Kenshin's Remembrance Chapter."

Finally, Pang Feng looked at Chu Yu.

"This one is the author of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, Shui Xin. His real name is Chu Yu!"

Hearing this, Lin Yong was stunned for a few seconds, and then carefully looked at Chu Yu's eyes, and the seriousness in his eyes became more intense.

There has always been a phenomenon in the Dragon Kingdom comics world.

That is the creative talent of young people, and creative talent is often more abundant.

Many old cartoonists, when they were young, were full of talent and ideas, and frequently produced excellent works.But after the age of 30, submitting a manuscript is like squeezing water from a sponge. Although it can be squeezed out, the plot of the comic is always lacking in aura.

Therefore, the major companies in the Longguo comics industry pay special attention to the cultivation of young cartoonists.

Although the first round of selection for the Dragon Star Award has ended for two weeks, the enthusiasm for the work about Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences has not dissipated in the magic city, and even in the entire Dragon Kingdom.

In comic exhibition venues all over the country, cosplays about Yukidaiba and Kenshin often appear and always cause a lot of commotion. Various local comic groups in the magic city, during this period of time, fan creations about Rurouni Kenshin's Memories are also There are endless.

Although in terms of influence, it is still much inferior to the popular serialized works in journals of the level of Shanghai Seventh University.

However, the first round of selection for the Dragon Star Award, which lasted for only four weeks, can set off such waves in the Dragon Kingdom comics industry, which has fully proved the commercial value and wide audience of this work.

And from the very beginning, many cartoonists in the Shanghai comics circle would comment with a sense of superiority on the entries for this Dragon Star Award after dinner.

But after the serialization of Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences on the official website of the Dragon Star Awards, such behavior has basically dissipated.

It is true that after reading this work, many cartoonists in Shanghai think they are not qualified to comment on this work with a high profile.

Originally, the entire comic book community in Shanghai was ignorant of the situation in Los Angeles. Most people thought that Shui Xin was at least a middle-aged cartoonist over 30 years old.

In this way, although Shui Xin showed great strength, it would not attract too much attention from the giants of comics in Shanghai.

After all, the inspiration period for manga creation is about to fade away.

But if Shui Xin is really the teenager in front of him...

Lin Yong understood very well!

There is no doubt that after the Dragon Star Award, this person's value in the eyes of those giants in the comics industry in Shanghai will increase several times!

"Teacher Shuixin, right? I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Lin Yong stretched out his hand towards Chu Yu.

After shaking hands with Chu Yu, he shook hands with Pang Feng, Song Jiayu, and Zhao Qinyin in turn.

The few people didn't talk too much, Lin Yong immediately led the four of them to their respective rooms, told them to pay attention to safety, don't run around and get lost in the magic city, and then left.

The Dragon Star Awards Ceremony will be officially held at a venue near this hotel at [-] o'clock tomorrow night.

At that time, not only the comic team members of the ten award-winning comics will be present, but some well-known local cartoonists in Shanghai will be invited as guests. Off-site, some tickets will be sold for fans of the ten works produced.

There may be thousands of people in the entire venue, and the whole process will be broadcast live online.

"Huh..." After flying for such a long time, Chu Yu was somewhat tired.

Soon, he fell asleep in bed.

In the afternoon, Chu Yu was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it!" Chu Yu opened the door.

Outside the door was a bearded man with black-rimmed glasses.

Although he had already heard some rumors about Shui Xin, he was surprised to see that the person who opened the door was such a young boy.

"Hello, this is Teacher Shuixin!" the bearded man smiled.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yu's eyes were alert.

"Um, Teacher Shui Xin, don't get me wrong..." The bearded man first handed Chu Yu a business card.

Chu Yu looked at it.

Shanghai Tianji Comics Co., Ltd. comic editor...Zhu Shang.

"Teacher Shui Xin is really as rumored, young, promising, handsome and unrestrained, just like the information shown on the business card, I am a manga editor at Tianji Comics Company, one of the seven major cities in Shanghai. I am here this time only to represent Tianji. Sending an invitation to you, Teacher Shuixin, if Teacher Shuixin intends to develop in Laimodu in the future...Tianji, I will not let you down!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Shang didn't disturb Chu Yu's rest too much, and left after a few polite words.

"Tianji?" Chu Yu shook his head.

"Would Tianji, one of the Seven Greats of the Devil's City, take the initiative to invite me?"

"It's amazing!"

Chu Yu thought about it, but put away this business card, maybe it will be useful in the future!

Soon, Chu Yu felt drowsy and was about to catch up on sleep.

But not asleep yet.

There was another knock on the door.

Outside the door was a woman about 27 or [-] years old, with a good appearance, wearing a professional suit.

"Mr. Shuixin? Hello..." The woman looked at Chu Yu and smiled.

.......

After more than an hour.

Chu Yu was no longer sleepy at all.
