Another World Under My Pen

"...On my side, two choices are offered to both of you!"

Facing the two girls with dignified faces, Sun Peng smiled relaxedly: "The first is the conventional practice, that is, royalties. The two use the creation of picture books to participate in the later publishing of the royalties, and enjoy the future. Adaptation divisions, such as movies, TV series, animations, etc....Of course, because the characters are all designed by me, it does not include the rights to share other various toys; the second is a one-time buyout, and I commissioned two to create according to the story For the picture book, all the fees will be paid in one lump sum, and the subsequent income will have nothing to do with you-of course, the authorship is still yours, and no one will deprive it."

After looking at each other, Chen Ruoyi asked, "Then, Mr. Sun, how long will it take you to publish this set of books after we finish? How are the prices set? What is the estimated sales volume? And... what is our share ratio?"

Compared to Yu Ruonan, Chen Ruoyi understood these things better.

"Hehe, I don't know."

After spreading out his hands, Sun Peng said with a smile: "To be honest, this story is what I told a group of children. It happened to be my girlfriend... Well, a female friend heard it. She liked it, so I wanted to do it. As a picture book. As for the follow-up publishing house, I will not hide it from both of you. I have not thought of that step yet!

He really didn't talk nonsense. Sun Peng had never seen a picture book of the Chronicles of Narnia in his previous life. God knows if the super condensed version of the novel is accompanied by a picture, will it be as popular as the earth? Can you quickly find a suitable publishing house for publication? Anyway, for him, the conditions are not good and he would rather put it under the pressure box at home.

"..."

Hearing what Sun Peng said, the faces of the two girls were obviously disappointed, and at the same time the look in Sun Peng's eyes was a bit wrong.

sound……

It seems to be to make a girl happy?

Well, capricious enough!

Sun Peng, who talked about bald mouths, was also a little embarrassed, and quickly concealed: "As for the proportions, the two of you are responsible for drawing the picture book. A total of 40%, each 20%, I am responsible for everything else, 60%!"

After hearing Sun Peng's words, Chen Ruoyi nodded secretly.

People may not be for money, because this ratio does sound very generous. In fact, Sun Peng didn’t plan to pit the two girls. After all, he just published the story and copied various characters and scenes in the movie. The specific picture book design, painting and subsequent production are all two people’s work. The comparison is clear at a glance.

only……

Can it be said that in the case of publishing separately, what is the point of dividing it into more? And even if two people don't do anything, they just draw picture books for him every day. It takes about a year to finish this set of books. When will they be divided? !

"I think I will choose a one-time buyout!"

After a moment of silence, Chen Ruoyi made a decision and then looked at Yu Ruonan.

Compared with Chen Ruoyi, Yu Ruonan is not so entangled, and he directly said: "Buy out! I will choose whatever she chooses, anyway, we must be the same!"

"Uh……"

Seeing the girl's serious look, Sun Peng couldn't help laughing.

But after thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng decided to give them one more choice, so he spoke again: "I understand your thoughts, but you also saw the whole story. I personally think it's pretty good, so... I thought about it. I think, I can still give you a third option: first provide a manuscript fee according to the number of sheets...Of course, the manuscript fee is much lower than the buy-out price, and then you can share the royalties. Of course, this time it is not 40%. It’s 20% in total, 10% per person!"

"No thanks."

This time, Chen Ruoyi didn’t even get entangled, she shook her head and said: “Mr. Sun, I understand that you are doing well, but... you have also seen that in our current situation, the most important thing is not the future. , But promise now! So... I choose to buy out one time!"

"Me, me too!"

Following Chen Ruoyi, Yu Ruonan also made a decision immediately.

"OK then."

Shaking his head, Sun Peng felt a little regretful.

To be honest, Sun Peng is not short of money now, and it is even less likely to be short of money in the future, so he does not want to use the information advantage to deceive the two girls and make them regret later.

Although he is not sure whether this set of picture books will be popular in the future, it is a classic on earth after all. Even if picture books are not good, it would be good to make movies after Sun Peng becomes rich and powerful in the future! Unfortunately, as Chen Ruoyi said, what they urgently need to ensure is now, not the future...

However, since they disagreed, Sun Peng no longer hesitated, and simply nodded: "Okay, let's talk about the specific price! My opinion is that you should estimate first in these two weeks, and the whole book will be roughly drawn. How many pages is it? Then I will check it. After everyone agrees, we will discuss a total price... It is also calculated by the number of pages, but only by the estimated number of pages. Is this okay?"

In fact, it is the most accurate calculation based on the number of final products, but there is a disadvantage that it is easy for painters to inject water. After all, the more paintings they make, the more they earn. So Sun Peng made a compromise and proposed the method he had planned for a long time.

"no problem!"

After looking at each other, Chen Ruoyi nodded and said, "It's just the specific price?"

Without directly answering the girl’s question, Sun Peng asked, "You are now making another one for someone...I mean the quality I just requested, how do you charge?"

"This... about two thousand yuan a piece!"

Gritting her teeth, Chen Ruoyi quietly increased the price by one third.

Because she is not well-known in the industry, when she is an illustrator, her fee is only 1,000. Yu Ruonan may be a little higher, only 1,500. Now when I meet this big high-profile guest, it will naturally increase a bit— -Anyway, with such a large amount, this guy must have bargained in the end.

"two thousand?"

Sun Peng furrowed his brows and secretly calculated.

Sun Peng knew a few things because of deliberately inquiring about it before. However, this industry is inherently deep. In many cases, it is not only the quality of the work, but also the reputation of the author and the character of the client. Moreover, different uses, different quality requirements, and even different publishing media have a very large impact on prices, and it is difficult to say a reasonable standard.

Just like on the earth, the illustrations of children’s picture books in this world are relatively cheap in the industry, with the lowest three or four hundred pictures available, but with the difference in fineness, character image and action effects, the price also rises sharply, with the highest Thousands or even tens of thousands are not without.

But for two thousand yuan...

At least for the quality required by Sun Peng, it is not high!

Even if a book is forty pages, it is only 80,000 yuan, even if it comes down to ten copies...No, if you have twelve books, it will be nine hundred and sixty thousand...

"I'll go, it's so cheap!"

After finally calculating a number, Sun Peng was shocked!

80,000 a month, 40,000 per person, it is indeed a good white-collar level in Beijing, but the income in this world is much higher, so it is a very common level. But two such outstanding painters have worked so hard to draw twelve 40-page picture books in a year, and they are still of very exquisite quality, earning only 40,000 per month?

Girls, you are losing a lot if you don't take royalties!

Looking at Chen Ruoyi, who was worried because of the quiet price increase, Sun Peng's eyes became a little complicated. If it’s at this price, it sounds like it’s very expensive for him to make a set of picture books for one million, but think about the royalties from the Eagles and Swordsman. The price of this set is at least two to three hundred, as long as it sells for tens of thousands The set was taken back.

Of course, tens of thousands of ordinary picture books are already good, but don’t forget, this is the Chronicles of Narnia, the lion, the witch and the magic wardrobe. More than 80 million books have been sold on the earth. !

In the future, this set of books will really become popular, even if you want to make movies, make animations, and generate countless surroundings, will these two girls scold themselves to death?

However, Sun Peng also knows that the world's developed cultural industry has spawned a huge number of employees. Therefore, the polarization in this industry is very serious. Those who are famous earn money, and those who are not famous are miserable. Moreover, the mixing of two girls is naturally fierce on the one hand and there are too many rivals. On the other hand, is it not their own problem?

Just as Sun Peng was feeling emotional, Yu Ruonan, who had always been the only roommate Ma's head, suddenly shook his head and pursed his lips: "Two thousand won't work!"

Hearing these words, Sun Peng and Chen Ruoyi were shocked at the same time.

But when Chen Ruoyi was anxious and wanted to say something, Yu Ruonan continued: "Although you have a lot of money, you only come up with a story, and we have to conceive everything else; secondly, there is no follow-up. For the royalties, adaptations, and peripheral sharing, the buyout fee should be higher; thirdly...and the most important point, your requirements are too high, we will be squeezed for a long time, we simply don’t have time to paint our own Something, so...Two thousand is too low, no way!"

"Oh? How appropriate do you think?"

After a dumb laugh, Sun Peng asked with interest.

"At least three thousand, not too low!"

Regardless of the eyes from his roommate, Yu Ruonan said with a very firm attitude.

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, Sun Peng laughed and nodded again and again: "Okay, three thousand is three thousand. If your paintings satisfy me in two weeks, I will pay you three thousand for each draft! And I will pay 30,000 in advance. Block, as a reward for these ten samples, regardless of the final result!"

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ruoyi's eyes suddenly widened.

"Of course, and I have another proposal!"

Before the two girls could say anything, Sun Peng continued: "If... I mean, if you can complete all the work within half a year and pass my inspection, I would like to mention the price again and give you The standard of three thousand and five sheets..."
