Big Manga

While waiting for Shen Jie's answer, the production of "Pokemon" is proceeding smoothly.

Then one night, Alice brought Teacher Tomato and a man into Meng Huo's house.

"His name is Diao Wenlin, and he is a reasoning writer."

Alice introduced to Meng Huo that the man was about 30 years old, with a thin body and a withered complexion. Meng Huo judged from the foreign minister that he often stayed up late and his family was not very well off. But although the clothes he was wearing were worn out, they were ironed very neatly, and there might be a good wife behind him supporting him.

"Hello."

Meng Huo held out his hand.

"Hello, Teacher He Xi."

The man had heard about Meng Huo's age on the way, so he managed to maintain an unwavering expression. He bowed his waist, shook hands with Meng Huo in a reserved manner, and said, "I'm just a low-level writer, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

The opportunity he mentioned was naturally the opportunity to serialize "Detective Conan".

Meng Huo needs to meet two factors in order to sell this comic. One is the comic, and Mr. Tomato can take over. The second is to infer the plot of the case. Teacher Tomato doesn't think about these things, so he can only find other people.

After saying hello, Li Qin invited Diao Wenlin and Tomato to sit down, and Alice took the opportunity to tell Meng Huo about Diao Wenlin's situation.

Diao Wenlin is a reasoning writer who writes articles, not a novelist. The reasoning market in China is not big, but there are many writers, and many reasoning writers are living a miserable life. Diao Wenlin's fabricated case is excellent, but he is not a person who can write novels. He has never published a book before, but he has given advice to many novelists.

Both novels and comics require technical products, and not those who can think about stories can play well.

Meng Huo understood this, and Alice helped him find a suitable person, but the specific level cannot be judged by the data.

He sat down and chatted with Diao Wenlin to review his reasoning skills. As far as the results were concerned—Alice did not disappoint Meng Huo. Diao Wenlin's thinking is as meticulous as silk, with all the characteristics of a reasoning writer, and he is also a fan of "Detective Conan", so he has some knowledge of comics.

"sure, no problem."

After chatting for an hour, Diao Wenlin was asked to fabricate a case on the spot, and then told the process of solving the case. Meng Huo nodded in satisfaction: "Let's discuss the reward."

As soon as this sentence came out, Diao Wenlin's expression immediately became tense, and the drowsy teacher Tomato also cheered up.

"The probationary period is one month, 200 Huaxia coins for each picture, monthly payment. After the probationary period is over, you will take over my job. In terms of the remuneration for the pictures, I will give you 1% of the royalties of the booklet in the future. How about this remuneration?"

This is what Meng Huo thought of as a reward.

"200 Huaxia coins, 1% royalties!"

The seemingly small reward shocked Mr. Tomato.

He remembered that the first two booklets of "Detective Conan" were released. Teacher He Xi could earn 20 million each time. His royalties were 10%, and 1% was 2 million... If Mr. At least 5 booklets are sold, and 5 books can earn 10 million! 5 million per person!

This figure made Mr. Tomato very happy, it was more profitable than the comics he was serializing.

And Diao Wenlin was so excited that he wanted to pass out.

200 Huaxia coins for a picture, about 20 pictures per week, that is 4000 Huaxia coins,

Diao Wenlin can get 2000, 8000 a month. He has been a reasoning writer for so many years, and this fee is still out of reach for him.

"With this money, I have a stable job, I don't have to cover my head everywhere, and my wife won't suffer."

Diao Wenlin's heart was sour, and he almost shed tears.

He is an unpromising writer, and his wife hasn't enjoyed a good day of life since marrying him. This job, with a monthly salary of 8,000, is enough to change their lives drastically.

And there is a 1% royalty. Diao Wenlin once calculated the market value of "Detective Conan", and he knows what 1% means.

"I can buy a house in Ninghai within a year, and pay in full!"

Diao Wenlin seemed to see a brand new future. Instead of renting houses everywhere, he and his wife could buy a suite of their own, and their children would not be looked down upon at school.

Diao Wenlin and Teacher Tomato looked at each other, and they both saw surprises in each other's eyes.

"Yes, yes, we promise!"

The two nodded to Meng Huo, their faces flushed and excited.

Meng Huo was a little uncomfortable being looked at by them. In fact, he was the one who got the best reward. He got 400 Huaxia coins for each picture, which was twice as much as Tomato and Diao Wenlin. Then the royalties are 9 times, more than 100 million...the workload is very small, and the remaining time is used to draw other comics, and the benefits will not be worse than "Detective Conan".

But Diao Wenlin and Teacher Tomato would not care about this even if they knew it. "Detective Conan" is a cartoon created by Meng Huo, and they can only keep thanking them.

"Thank you, thank you Teacher He Xi."

"I will work hard, I will definitely work hard!"

The two men in their 30s were very excited, and Diao Wenlin had decided to buy a cake on the way home to celebrate with his wife. He knows that the model of "Detective Conan" can continue to be written, and it will be no problem in 10 or 20 years. He has a serious job, which is more stable than other jobs.

This is so cool, Teacher He Xi is simply his reborn parents!

Diao Wenlin thanked him non-stop, cried when he left, and walked into the elevator like a child.

After Tomato and Diao Wenlin left, Alice breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Meng Huo, this matter is settled like this." She said to Meng Huo: "Where do you want to put the studio, your house seems a bit crowded..."

"It's okay, add another desk to the study."

Meng Huo smiled, now that there are three assistants, the family can afford it. If there is one more person, he will have to consider changing places. It was inconvenient to rent a studio outside, and he didn't want to hand over the manga right away.

Without a period of transition and guidance, Diao Wenlin could not adapt to the style of "Detective Conan".

"Okay, I'll buy you some equipment." Alice wrote it down in a notebook, and then asked, "Do you want to announce this in a magazine tonight?"

Meng Huo frowned slightly.

Telling this matter will have a certain impact, but if you don't tell it, you won't be able to hide it in the future.

It is impossible for Meng Huo to only write a few cartoons, and he will hire many people to help in the future. This model is a bit like a studio, but it is necessary, otherwise I will not be able to draw a few comics in my life...

However, people's energy is limited, and he can't hide it. With the increase in the number of comics, it is impossible for readers not to notice that he has help from others.

Meng Huo analyzed the pros and cons of the announcement now and the announcement in the future.

"Now announce."

He makes decisions that, while they will have consequences, say less now than later.

"No problem." Alice agreed. She didn't worry too much. Professional cartoonists usually have assistants, and Diao Wenlin can be regarded as He Xi's assistant. The main line of the story is still in He Xi's hands, so there is no problem.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the decision of Meng Huo and Alice collided with an unexpected event.

(Thanks to zmcyhh, Prosperous World, for the reward!)
