Two Dimensional Journey

"Oh, why?" A gleam of surprise flashed in the other's eyes, and his brows wrinkled slightly. wap.wuxiaspot.com

Obviously, he had never considered Zhang Xiang, and he actually wanted to sign the latter contract.

"This is something I decided before I came here." Zhang Xiang quickly gave the answer.

However, this does not make the other party satisfied.

"Do you know the drawbacks of signing this type of contract? You know, every year there are newcomer cartoonists like you who imagine that they will become popular and choose the latter signing model. However, after so many years, Yes, I have only seen one successful example. The other most successful people succeeded in this mode after the second comic. Before that, I chose the latter type of contract. The way of people, the first comic can make the same money as the previous contract, it is already very successful..." The other party frowned and began to persuade Zhang Xiang to come.

You know, although the latter type of contract looks very affordable, it is divided based on the popularity of comics.

However, this is based on the fact that comics can indeed be hot for a long time.

If it’s just been hot for a while and then left out in the cold, then the comic will inevitably be moved to the monthly magazine for publication, or even be cut in half.

If you count it this way, the money you might get in the end may be less than one-third of the previous contract.

Because the biggest advantage of this kind of sharing contract is that after the production of peripherals and animation, what they can get is the money that they can get in addition to their guaranteed remuneration.

If the comics can become popular, it will reach the level of the three major migrant animations.

Then, in the middle and late stages of the production of animation, peripherals, and booklets, the share of sales brought about may be ten times or even a hundred times that of the former contract. Look. Wool. Line. Chinese. Text. Net

However, this is also to be built on the premise of becoming popular.

Zhang Xiang wanted to choose this type of contract now, which naturally surprised him.

Moreover, there is a trace of disappointment.

In his opinion, Zhang Xiang is the kind of person who is so lofty.

However, facing the other's persuasion, Zhang Xiang shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I have already decided." Zhang Xiang refused.

Are you kidding me? In Zhang Xiang's past life, Fullmetal Alchemist was a super popular classic!

At that time, this super-popular classic "Fullmetal Alchemist" was serialized in what can only be regarded as a medium-sized manga magazine, and the main feature was the boy manga magazine "Shounen Gangan" for game lovers.

But even so,

Soon after the serialization began at the end of 2001, this "Fullmetal Alchemist" began to show its prominence and became a best-selling comic.

In addition, the animation was successfully produced in October 2003, and its popularity continued to rise after its release in Japan, which led to a steady increase in the circulation of "Shoun Gangan".

Entering 2004, SQUARE's publishing business has formed a development trend with "Fullmetal Alchemist" as the core, combined with animation, comics, toys, games and other series of products.

Among the top 100 best works of 2003 selected by PAFU of Japan Anime Information Magazine in 2003, "Fullmetal Alchemist" defeated Rulin's powerful enemy and won the first place, and became the 49th best boy manga in Xiaoshukan. The winner of the award.

In February 2004, SQUAREENIX announced that the single-volume sales of comics had exceeded 8 million, and the sales of SQUAREENIX's publications department had thus reached 6.5 billion yen, a record high in history.

SQUAREENIX vowed to make "Fullmetal Alchemist" a first-class brand at the same level as FF and DQ.

And this is because this manga was serialized in the boy manga magazine "Shoun Gangan" for game lovers.

From this, we can see how great the potential of this comic is.

If this anime is serialized in the "Shounen Manga" of the three giants of neon, what will be the result? !

Although choosing the latter signing mode, Zhang Xiang will not make less money in the first few months.

Even, there is only one half of the former.

But what about a few months later?

I'm afraid everything will change!

And listening to Zhang Xiang's words, looking at Zhang Xiang's firm eyes, the editor-in-chief Sasaki Nao, whose hair was a little messy, frowned once again.

Beside him, Kaoro Kano, who was wearing a pink uniform skirt, showed a hesitant expression, slightly opened her mouth to say something.

But in the end, she still did not say anything.

"In that case, it's up to you." The editor-in-chief Sasaki Naho, with a little messy hair, set the tone.

"Then, I have something to do, so I'm embarrassed. Hattori Tetsu, I'll leave it to you." The editor-in-chief Sasaki Nao, with some messy hair, nodded towards Zhang Xiang, and then walked out.

Obviously, he had been interested in Zhang Xiang from the beginning and became a little bored.

And watching the editor-in-chief leave, the face called Hattori Tetsu was obviously embarrassed.

After all, the mess left by his editor-in-chief, but he wants to clean up.

"Ahem, if that's the case, let's discuss in detail the specific contract content and the subsequent comic release steps..." Hattori Tetsuqing with thick lips coughed twice and said to Zhang Xiang.

Zhang Xiang also smiled, and did not regard the other party's departure as a major event.

When people look down on you, they look down on you. When the results come out, naturally there will be the moment of face-slapped.

To be honest, Zhang Xiang really wanted to take a look. After the comics became popular, the other party was beaten in the face by himself, and he might even ask for his own picture.

After all, Zhang Xiang has already decided.

Even if you want to use the writing wheel, you need to change the comic contract issue to a state where you can leave at any time.

Then, Zhang Xiang started to discuss the contract with Hattori Tetsu, the head of the newcomer comics of "Shounen Manga".

What was unexpected to Zhang Xiang was that it might be because the other party didn't pay much attention to the newcomer. Zhang Xiang wanted a contract treaty that he could leave at any time. After hesitating for a while, the other party agreed to it, but added One is to pay liquidated damages.

However, this is a very expensive penalty for other rookie cartoonists.

For Zhang Xiang, who knows that "Fullmetal Alchemist" will be prosperous, it is just a fraction of what he might make in the future.

And it was this treaty that made the editor-in-chief Sasaki Nao, who left on the spot, regretted it, and Hattori Tetsu, who was in charge of signing the contract, regretted his intestines...
