My quadratic is absolutely abnormal

: Copyright Fees

Su Jie chatted with Zhenhui for a few words, and then they talked about One Punch Man.

“We promote it on social platforms and physical bookstores, and we also send recommended SMS emails to regular comic fans. The official website also has a column on the homepage of One-Punch Man.”

Marie mentioned a few points about the advertisements made by the company. The fact that One Punch Man became popular so quickly is inseparable from the strong recommendation of “Weekly Shonen Jump”.

However, this is also Su Jie’s own ability. If One Punch Man hadn’t won the first place in the on-site survey, even if he knelt down and begged for help, he wouldn’t be able to get such a recommendation opportunity.

In the final analysis, the company’s capital still depends on performance. Works that cannot bring them benefits are not worth the effort of “Weekly Shonen Jump” to promote.

“If One Punch Man continues to maintain this momentum, the number of pages of Su Jun’s works published in magazines will continue to increase, and one month later he may even get the right to cover the magazine “Weekly Shonen Jump.”

Marie gave another big news to Su Jie. The cover of “Weekly Shonen Jump” magazine is usually only given to the most popular comics. If Saitama’s bald head can be on the cover, it means that One Punch Man has really come. pyramid.

In the past, most of the manga works recommended by the cover pictures were able to be serialized. This is also a great encouragement for manga artists. It proves that the performance of the work is not the first in “Weekly Shonen Jump”, but also the top three positions .

Speaking of this, not only Su Jie, but Zhenhui also had a smile on his face. Su Jie is the author of Zhenhui. Su Jie’s success is the performance of Zhenhui. Both parties are mutually beneficial.

“It seems that I have to work harder.” Nodding with a smile, Su Jie said.

In fact, Su Jie is drawing every night during these times, and has a cheating memory. Su Jie can draw cartoons at a speed that ordinary cartoonists can’t match. So far, Su Jie has completed one-fifth of the manuscript of One Punch Man. , In another two months, I can finish drawing One-Punch Man.

Zhenhui didn’t know this, she only knew that Su Jie was a student, and he still had schoolwork to deal with, and he didn’t have as much time to draw manga as a full-time manga artist. The manuscript was cut off, so Su Jie took out the temptation of the cover picture and made Su Jie work hard, but she didn’t know that things were not what she thought.

Then Su Jie chatted with Zhenhui for a while, and then they separated. Su Jie didn’t forget who he was accompanying to the party this time, so he couldn’t leave the righteous owner aside.

When Su Jie found Xiazhiqiu Shiyu in the crowd, she was sitting with Machida Sonoko, talking with some people in suits and leather shoes.

While Su Jie was hesitating whether to go over, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu had sharp eyes and waved to Su Jie in the crowd.

Su Jie clasped his hands together and nodded to those people in suits and leather shoes. They seemed to be talking very formally before, and it’s always a bit bad to interrupt.

“This is my illustrator, Su Jie from China.” Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu introduced Su Jie’s identity.

Machida Sonoko didn’t have any opinion on Su Jie because of what happened just now, she still smiled and said: “Su Jun, these people are from Yinlou Animation Production Company, and they are here to discuss “LoveThis is the project manager Kenichi Ikeda, this is the director Daichi Sudo, and this is the secretary Akane Uemura. ”

An animation production company!

Su Jie took a look at the three people. These people also smiled at Su Jie in a friendly manner, and said a few polite words. As professionals, they attach great importance to etiquette when dealing with people.

In his previous life, Su Jie had never heard of this animation production company. Of course, there are many animation companies. Su Jie knows some famous animation companies such as Bones Club and Kyoto. It is normal that ordinary animation companies have never heard of it.

In this world, because the development of ACG culture is backward, the level of animation production is still at the level of the 1990s, there are few good works, and capital has not been involved in this industry too much, resulting in the slow development of the animation industry today, and most animation production companies are small , this Yinlou Animation Company, which I have never heard of, does not know how strong it is.

Su Jie was sitting next to Kasumi Hill Shiyu, and the manager Ikeda Kenichi said: “As for the price, the copyright fee of 8 million yen is too expensive, and besides, the word count of Kasumi Shizi’s works has just finished one volume. , the plot inside is still not enough to support the plot skeleton of an animation. Although we are very optimistic about the current plot, whether it will collapse and cause chaos in the future is something we need to consider, and Teacher Xia Shizi is still a newcomer. We took too much risk.”

This is bargaining. The usual technique used by merchants is to first say that you are optimistic about your product, and then find faults regardless of whether there are any defects to lower the price and collect it at a lower price.

Su Jie touched Kasumigaoka Shiyu’s arm when he heard the words, and winked at her, telling her not to believe Ikeda Kenichi’s nonsense.

In Japan, regardless of external factors such as publicity, wages, and equipment, the cost of general animation production is calculated according to the number of episodes, which is usually between 300,000 and 600,000 RMB. Millions or more. The cost of an ordinary animation is four to five hundred thousand yuan. If the quality is low, the price can be controlled below three hundred thousand yuan.

It takes several months and half a year from production to completion of an animation. If it is a TV animation with more than a dozen episodes, plus miscellaneous expenses, the cost is still 5 million to 10 million RMB.

Calculating from the copyright fee, it is usually about 10% of the production cost. If the animation production cost is 5 million yuan, then Kasumi Hill Shiyu can theoretically get a copyright fee of about 500,000 yuan.

Converting 500,000 yuan into Japanese yen, that is about 8 million yen, it can be said that the price of Machida Enko is not inflated.

“The price is actually not high. You just said that you took the risk, but once the work is sold, the benefits you reap are not comparable to these risks. Teacher Xia Shizi is currently in the first volume of “Love Metronome” A total of 63,000 volumes have been sold, which is enough to prove the writing level of teacher Xia Shizi, and it is also an excellent display of “Love Metronome”, your worries are actually superfluous.”

Faced with Kenichi Ikeda’s lower price, Sonoko Machida, who is the editor of Kasumigaoka Shiwa, naturally argued to help Kasumigaoka Shiwa get a higher price. This is actually helping the company, because the copyright fee is to share dividends with Dengeki Bunko , which is also linked to the editor’s bonus.

“For my works, I have come to this point relying on my own strength. If you can’t accept this price, it will be difficult to continue the negotiation.”

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu’s face was slightly angry, and his eyes looked a little cold. This is an expression of anger, and he is very dissatisfied with Ikeda Kenichi’s belittling.

“Sorry, I’m afraid this price needs to be discussed carefully.” Ikeda Kenichi shook his head, and he didn’t bite to death, but said that he would continue to negotiate.

The talks continued to be deadlocked. Sonoko Machida got up and said, “Then let’s go to rest for a while. After half an hour, we will each discuss and decide to start talking.”

Both parties got up and left the table, each went to negotiate a new price, or find a way to lower the price and increase the price
