My 2d is Definitely Not Normal

"No, absolutely not." Su Jie found that although the editor Machida Yuanzi looked elegant, his personality really had nothing to do with his appearance, and he was completely different from the editor Machigi that Su Jie knew.

"Well! Then I will recognize you as an illustrator, so that there will be no confusion." Machida Yuanzi clapped his palm, stared at Su Jie, and said, "I have read Su Jun's illustrations, said To be honest, your level is higher than most of the illustrators I know, and the style of painting is very novel, and the response among readers is also very good. I wonder if you have the idea of ​​becoming a full-time illustrator. There are many light novels in our editorial department. You provide the illustrations."

"And if you become a full-time illustrator in our editorial department, you can also enjoy excellent benefits and get along with many beautiful authors day and night. Do you want to join in?"

Speaking of the back, Machida Yuanzi winked at Su Jie, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's face was a little dark, I guess it was a shame, this editor is too serious and shrewd from the impression of a normal person.

"He's a cartoonist, he won't be a professional illustrator." Kasumigaoka Shiyu glared at Machida Yuanko.

"Sorry, I have my own business. The illustrator is just a hobby. He is also helping Shi Yu. I really have no interest in this professional illustrator."

Su Jie shrugged, having comics for his career, whether it was a hobby or making money, was countless times better than a so-called dedicated illustrator, Su Jie didn't need to lose the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

"Hey! Su Jun, you are still a cartoonist, what themes do you draw!" Machida Yuanzi was surprised, but did not expect Su Jie to have this identity outside of illustrator.

Drawing comics not only requires drawing skills, but also storytelling and storytelling. The difficulty is much higher than that of illustrators. Influence and money-making are not the same level. Especially at Su Jie's age, he can even produce comics. Yes, anyone who hears it will be surprised.

"The subject of insertion and being inserted." Su Jie was about to speak when Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu spoke first.

"Ah! Mr. Huang Man!" Machida Yuanzi was able to stuff an egg into his mouth, this time it was a real treat.

"Jun Su, it's not good to draw H comics at such a young age. Your body will not be able to bear it." Machida Yuanzi said in a sincere tone, accompanied by a slightly strange gaze.

"..." Su Jie.

ps: Thanks for the [-] blades of 'Qingjian Huaqingyan', I am under a lot of pressure from you (“▔□▔)

Chapter 64: Peers are lighter

"Jun Su, you're here like this." While Su Jie was stunned, someone suddenly patted Su Jie on the shoulder and saw Zhenhui appearing behind Su Jie.

Today's truth Hui is wearing a professional dress, her legs are flesh-colored stockings, her black hair is twisted up, and she wears flat glasses. She looks very temperamental.

"Miss Truth!" Su Jie was a little surprised, but thinking about her editor status, it's not surprising that she was invited to this party, so she responded, "I came with a friend."

Seeing Xiazhiqiu Shiyu next to Su Jie, Zhenhui nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the case, this is Xia Shizi who won the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award."

"Hey...and this..." Su Jie looked at Xiazhiqiu Shiyu in confusion, really didn't know what was going on.

"Some false names." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu didn't want Su Jie to think that he was hiding something, so he quickly explained.

Only then did Su Jie know that "Metronome in Love" written by Shiyu Xiazhiqiu won the Dengeki Bunko Light Novel Newcomer Award. This award is divided into five categories: youth, horror, science fiction, reasoning, and fantasy, and each category is divided into gold, silver and bronze awards.

"Love Metronome" won the gold medal in the youth category. This is a very special honor, with a bonus of 30 yen and a chance to participate in the Best Rookie of the Year Award, which will receive 500 million yen. bonus.

These are just on the awards. For novelists, the benefits of winning this award are not limited to this. Most of the novels are adapted from comics and the most important animation. Generally, the winning works have the greatest chance of being adapted. It has been shown that the level of the novel will not be too bad. After all, the animation company does not want to make a loss-making business by adapting an unpopular work.

"Cough cough, this is my editor, the editor of "Weekly Shonen Jump", Ms. Maui Hui." Su Jie almost forgot to introduce Maru Hui, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu nodded with a smile.

"I saw Kasumi Shizi at the Dengeki Bunko's awards ceremony before, and I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Shiyu of Kasumigaoka, who was polite and polite, nodded.

This is really a polite remark. "Weekly Shonen Jump" currently has a much higher status in Japan than Dengeki Bunko, and it has always only developed original comics. Comics adapted from novels and anime games will not appear in "Weekly Shonen Jump".

"Hello, I'm Kasumi Shiko's editor Machida Yuanko. Welcome to our Dengeki Bunko tonight's party."

Machida Yuanko, who had been watching from the side, also made a statement, and at the same time gave Shiyu Kasugaoka a white look. Since Su Jie said that Maru Hui was his editor, and Ma Zhen Hui was the editor of "Weekly Shonen Jump", how could Su Jie be in "Weekly Shonen Jump"? "Jump" draws Huang Man, even if there is, it can't be the kind of purely carnal thing.

The two editors stood together, and they were both mature and sexy beauty editors. It was really eye-catching. Machida Yuanzi, who was the organizer, was the first to speak.

As working women, the meeting between the two of them may be more of a coping courtesy. Behind Kasumigaoka Shiyu stands Machida Yuanzi, and Su Jie stands behind Makoto, maybe it is Su Jie's own illusion, always feel that these two look like Competing in the dark, although the appearance and behavior can't be seen at all, it feels like this.

"Mr. Su Jun is a rookie manga artist of our Weekly Shonen Jump. Before the editor Machida wanted to poach people, please ask our "Weekly Shonen Jump" for his opinion."

"In addition, we have nothing to do with Huang Man, please don't throw any dirty water on our Weekly Shonen Jump and its authors."

Machiga spoke in a mild manner, her slightly cold eyes turned around Machida Yuanzi, and put her hand on Su Jie's shoulder, like the team leader's mother beast, repelling all threats, both on the surface and in the dark. outer.

"Actually, it's not like what Miss Truth thinks. Miss Machida didn't know my identity as a cartoonist before." Su Jie secretly screamed, and he really didn't feel wrong.

"This is a matter of attitude. As the editor of Mr. Su Jun, our editors are obliged to help you handle things other than drawing comics, including the enforcement of legal weapons and job stability."

Machida said gently to Su Jie, but she did not lose her momentum in front of Machida Yuanko. As the editor of "Weekly Shonen Jump", although this is the organizer of Dengeki Bunko, although in terms of position, Machida, who is the deputy editor-in-chief Yuanzi's identity is bigger than that of the editor in charge of truth, but neither of them is a company. At present, "Weekly Shonen Jump" has a prosperous status in the Japanese ACG industry and is the leader of the comic industry. The Kadokawa library is superior in comparison.

Dengeki Bunko debuted three years ago and ranks in the middle of the novel world. Although the current development momentum is very strong, there are many "Weekly Shonen Jump" in terms of strength. Otherwise, if such an important business gathering is held, "Weekly Shonen Jump" will not only send one The editor in charge came to participate, which shows that "Weekly Shonen Jump"'s attitude towards Dengeki Bunko is also the reason why truth is so confident.

Machida Yuanzi may have noticed it before, and she was also cold at the sudden attack on Mauri: "Weekly Shonen Jump is such a big name, do you guys have a binding contract? Come and go freely is the author's freedom, I believe no matter which industry you are in It's all like that."

Lightweight peers!

Su Jie and Xiazhiqiu Shiyu looked at each other, and both saw the meaning in each other's eyes. Both of them are editing professions, and they are both women. This may be the so-called contempt between peers.

Seeing that the two were about to fight each other, Su Jie gave Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu a wink, and both pulled their editors away quickly to avoid further conflict.

......

"Miss Truth, your reaction is too big, and the other party just made an unintentional mistake." In the corner of the party, Su Jie complained to Truth Hui.

"It's not that I have a big reaction. In recent years, Dengeki Bunko has been digging up a lot of new people. Their ability to develop so fast is closely related to digging people. I am afraid that you will not be able to resist the temptation to leave "Weekly Shonen Jump"." Truth Hui explained: "You are The best newcomer to our Weekly Shonen Jump, I don't want anything to interfere with your creation."

"After all, we are on someone else's territory, so don't make any trouble." After Su Jie said this, he was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "Miss Truth Hui has given me a lot of help, and I also remember it. In my heart, but please don't interfere too much with my personal affairs, I don't like to be restrained by others."

Although Su Jie created in "Weekly Shonen Jump", he doesn't want to do everything he wants to do according to other people's wishes. The identities of cartoonists and cartoon magazines are more like collaborators. Rather than the general relationship between the superior and the subordinate of the company.

Therefore, Su Jie hopes that he is free. Even if he really quits Weekly Shonen Jump to do a new job, he is free, instead of looking at other people's faces when he wants to quit.

It is also because of this leisurely job that Su Jie, a person who regards squatting at home as a profession, chooses to draw comics, and this job itself is suitable for squatting at home, and it is also possible not to go out.

"Sorry, I went too far." Zhenhui snorted in her heart, realizing that she was going too far, and when she met Su Jie's eyes, she already understood Su Jie's attitude.

Su Jie is a cartoonist brought out by truth Hui, and also a newcomer who truth Hui thinks has the most potential to become a master. As an editor, it will be an unparalleled honor to be able to bring out the achievements of a master cartoonist. Concern is tense, and concern is chaos, so he was aggressive to Machida Yuanzi's previous poaching behavior.

After Su Jie understood this, the dissatisfaction in his heart also dissipated. Zhenzhenhui had also helped Su Jie a lot, and she still had a good impression of Zhenhuihui Su Jie.

Chapter 65: Royalty Fees

Su Jie chatted a few words with truth Hui here, and then talked about One Punch Man.

"We promote it on social platforms and brick-and-mortar bookstores, and also send recommendation text messages to regular comic fans. The official website also has a column on the homepage of One Punch Man."

Truth Hui said several points of the company's advertisements, One Punch Man's popularity is so fast, and it is inseparable from the strong recommendation of "Weekly Shonen Jump".

But this is also Su Jie's own ability. If One Punch Man doesn't get the first place in the field survey, even if he kneels down and asks for help, he won't be able to get such a recommendation.

In the final analysis, the company's capital is all about performance, and works that cannot bring them benefits are not worthy of the efforts of Weekly Shonen Jump to promote them.

"One Punch Man will continue to maintain this momentum, and the number of pages of Su Jun's works in the magazine will continue to rise. After a month, he may even get the cover right in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine."

Marri gave Su Jie another big news. The cover of "Weekly Shonen Jump" magazine is generally only given to the most popular comics. If Mr. Saitama's bald head can be on the cover, it means that One Punch Man is really coming. pyramid.

Most of the comic works that have been recommended for cover pictures in the past can be serialized, which is also a huge encouragement for comic artists, which proves that the performance of the work is not the first in "Weekly Shonen Jump", but also in the top three positions. .

When it comes to this, it is not only Su Jie, but also the truth with a smile on his face. Su Jie is the author of the truth, and the success of Su Jie is the achievement of the truth, and the two sides are mutually beneficial.

"Looks like I'm going to work harder." Su Jie said as he nodded with a smile.

In fact, Su Jie is drawing every night during these hours. He has the memory of a cheat device. The speed of Su Jie's drawing comics can't be compared with ordinary cartoonists. So far, Su Jie has completed one-fifth of the manuscript of One Punch Man. , In another two months, you can finish drawing One Punch Man.

Zhenhui didn't know this, she only knew that Su Jie was a student, and she still had studies to deal with. She didn't have as much time to draw cartoons as a full-time cartoonist. The manuscript was out of print, so she took out the temptation of the cover image and asked Su Jie to work hard, but she didn't know that things were not what she thought at all.

Next, Su Jie chatted with Zhenhui again, and they separated. Su Jie didn't forget who he was with at the party this time, but he couldn't leave the main lord aside.

When Su Jie found Kasumigaoka Shiyu in the crowd, she was sitting with Machida Yuanko, talking to some people in suits.

When Su Jie was hesitating whether to go over, Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu had sharp eyes and waved to Su Jie in the crowd.

Su Jie put his hands together and nodded to the people in suits and leather shoes. Before, their conversation seemed to be very formal, and it was always bad to interrupt.

"This is my illustrator, Su Jie from China." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu introduced his identity to Su Jie.

Machida Yuanzi didn't have any opinion on Su Jie because of what happened just now, and still said with a smile: "Su Jun, these people are from Yinlou Animation Production Company to discuss the adaptation of "Love Metronome". This is the project manager. Kenichi Ikeda, this is Director Daichi Sudo, and this is Akane Uemura, the secretary."

Animation production company!

Su Jie looked at the three of them. They also smiled at Su Jie in a friendly manner, and said a few polite words. As professionals, they place great importance on etiquette when dealing with people.

In the previous life, Su Jie had never heard of this animation production company. Of course, there were many animation companies. Su Jie knew some famous animation companies such as Bone Club and Kyoto. It was normal for animation companies not to have 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 90s, there are few good works, and capital has not been involved in this industry too much. As a result, the development of the animation industry is slow, and most animation production companies are small. I have never heard of Yinlou Animation Company, and I don't know how strong it is.

Su Jie was sitting next to Shiyu of Kasumigaoka, and the manager Kenichi Ikeda said, "Regarding the price, the copyright fee of 800 million yen is too expensive, and the number of words in Teacher Kasumi's work has only just finished writing a volume. , The plot inside is not enough to support the plot skeleton of an animation. Although we are all optimistic about the current plot, whether the follow-up will collapse or not is something we need to consider, and Teacher Xia Shizi is still a newcomer. This price We're taking too much risk."

This is haggling. The usual technique of businessmen is to say that you are optimistic about your products, and then choose defects to lower the price regardless of whether there are any faults, and use a lower price to receive it.

Su Jie heard the words and touched Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's arm, winked at her, and told her not to believe Kenichi Ikeda'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 30 and 60 RMB. Millions or more. An ordinary animation costs 50 million yuan for an episode. If the quality is low, the price can be controlled below 30 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 500 million to 1000 million RMB.

Calculated from the copyright fee, it is usually about 10% of the production cost. If the animation production cost is 500 million yuan, then Kasumigaoka Shiyu can theoretically get a copyright fee of about 50 yuan.

The RMB 50 is converted into Japanese yen, which is about 800 million yen. It can be said that the price of Machida Enko is not inflated.

"The price is actually not high. You only mentioned the risks you take, but once the works sell well, the benefits you gain are not comparable to these risks. Teacher Xia Shizi is currently the first volume of "Love Metronome". A total of 6.3 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 unnecessary."

In the face of Kenichi Ikeda's low price, Machida Yuanzi, who is the editor of Kasumigaoka Shiyu, naturally strives to help Kasumigaoka Shiyu get a higher price, which is actually helping the company, because the copyright fee is to be distributed with Dengeki Bunko Company. , which is also linked to the editor's bonus.

"For my works, I have come this far with my own strength. If you can't accept this price, it's probably difficult to continue the discussion."

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

"Sorry, I'm afraid this price has to be discussed." Ikeda Ken shook his head, but he didn't bite to death, but said he would continue to negotiate.

The talks went on like this, Machida Yuanzi got up and said: "Then let's go to rest for a while, and after half an hour, we will discuss and decide to talk."

The two sides got up and left the table, and each went to negotiate a new price, or find a way to lower the price and raise the price.

Author's message:

ps: The animation production in this chapter is based on some data searched by Fei Miao on the Internet. According to online information, the cost of animation production is as cheap as 10,000+20 per episode, and 90 to 100 million per episode. I will take an intermediate number and forget it. I don't know if it is correct.

Chapter 66: Breathing out lotus flowers

"What's the background of this Silver Building Animation Company!" Sitting on the sofa and coffee table, Su Jie asked while nibbling on grapes.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu sat on the left of Su Jie, with no emotion on his face, Machida Yuanzi was a little frowning, and he heard the words and explained: "The Silver Building Animation Company has been established for more than ten years and has produced more than [-] animations, so it is considered a veteran. Animation production company, the capital is still good, in the current Japanese animation production industry, ranking in the dozen or so.”

"The more old-fashioned companies are, the worse they are, and some of them are entangled." Su Jie said with a smile. Although Su Jie was a squat in his previous life, he went out to work for two years when he first graduated from college. too unfamiliar.

"I'm afraid the price will be lowered! They are now insisting that Teacher Xia Shizi is a newcomer, and they are unwilling to win it at a price of 800 million."
