Big Manga

Early in the morning at Ninghai Railway Station, Sun Yang stood at the ticket gate holding a sign.

"Chief editor, do we need to do this?"

The eyes of passers-by made Sun Yang feel uncomfortable, so he couldn't help asking.

Ye Xiong sat on the side and flipped through the newspaper, and laughed when he heard this: "Didn't you read that cartoon?"

Sun Yang nodded: "I've seen it, it's really good, but he's not a famous cartoonist, so there's no need for you to come out to greet him in person!"

"Your vision is too narrow, do you know what that cartoon represents?" Ye Xiong put down the newspaper and snorted coldly: "The comic industry relies on talent and perseverance. As a newcomer, he can draw pictures that surpass the level of professional cartoonists." Original manuscript, the future is limitless!"

He also knows that the comic market lacks the most talented original cartoonists. A cartoonist who can think of stories and draw them is hard to find. Meng Huo is only fifteen years old. To put it bluntly, which professional cartoonist can spend time Consume him?

The experienced Ye Xiong didn't think he would be mistaken. Meng Huo's contribution was a detective cartoon. Ordinary people can't draw this kind of subject at all, because it requires not only precise and careful thinking, but also extensive knowledge of various disciplines.

However, the 15-year-old Meng Huo created the manuscript quite perfectly. The content is almost impeccable, the rhythm is orderly, the plot is interesting, and the painting style is also very solid-he is definitely a genius!

"Okay, the time is almost up, please keep an eye on me."

Ye Xiong looked at his watch, the train was about to arrive.

Soon, dense crowds carrying large and small bags began to check tickets and leave the station. Sun Yang stood on tiptoe and scanned the crowd for fear of missing the target.

"Excuse me, are you from Phoenix Company?" Just as he was looking around, a young man with a bag saw the sign and came over: "I am Meng Huo."

Ye Xiong stood up and looked the young author up and down. He was thin and handsome. Both mother and son were wearing white clothes, obviously the living conditions were not very good. However, what surprised him was that Meng Huo had bright eyes, clear and confident. When staring into his eyes, Ye Xiong had an illusion, thinking that the person standing in front of him was a successful adult.

How is it possible - he shook his head with a wry smile and walked over.

"Hi, I'm Ye Xiong who called you."

Anyway, Meng Huo's first impression on Ye Xiong was very good. The two shook hands, and Ye Xiong turned his attention to Li Qin: "Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Li Qin's complexion was pale, and Meng Huo helped to explain: "My mother is a little motion sick."

Ye Xiong nodded understandingly: "Our company is not far from here, Madam can rest in the editorial department."

They picked up Meng Huo and Li Qin in a black car, Sun Yang was in charge of driving, and Ye Xiong sat in the front row.

"Five sheep, five sheep, run fast..."

Before driving, Sun Yang's phone rang suddenly.

"Wait, I'll take a call." He pulled up the handbrake he had just put down, and then took out his phone: "Hey, Teacher Tomato, what's the matter?"

"Ah, accept the manuscript? Today...I'm really sorry, I forgot."

Sun Yang covered the phone, turned to Ye Xiong and asked, "Editor-in-Chief, Mr. Tomato's new work is out, can I drive over to receive the manuscript first?"

Tomato, this is a professional cartoonist who has been serialized in Weekly Shonen for a long time. The reason why he is called a teacher is the respectful name given to professional cartoonists in the comics industry.

Ye Xiong frowned, this Sun Yang really can't handle things, he even forgot the time to receive the manuscript.

"You tell him to collect it tomorrow."

He glanced at Meng Huo, and felt that "Detective Conan" was more important, and he had to sign the contract within today to avoid long nights and dreams.

"But the editor-in-chief, Mr. Tomato has a bad temper and recently lost his relationship. Isn't it a little bit of us touching his brow at this time..." Sun Yang swallowed,

This Mr. Tomato is his cartoonist, and he doesn't want to screw it up.

"That's your problem!" Ye Xiong was furious. How could this subordinate be so stupid to say other cartoonists in front of Meng Huo: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry back to the company."

He was very disappointed in his heart. Originally, he was still thinking about making Sun Yang the editor in charge of Meng Huo after signing the contract, but now it seemed that he had to choose someone else. Sun Yang didn't realize Meng Huo's potential value, and such a responsible editor couldn't tap Meng Huo's talent.

So when he returned to the editorial department, Ye Xiong immediately drove Sun Yang away, and he asked another editor to arrange Li Qin, who was not in good condition, in the rest area.

The editorial department prepared breakfast for Li Qin, and after eating, her physical condition recovered a lot.

She looked around and found herself sitting in a private room separated by transparent glass, through which she could see a busy editorial department. In total, there are five rows of more than twenty editors working, and there are many comic posters on the opposite wall.

"Ma'am, are you feeling better?"

A mild-looking young man with glasses walked into the box, holding a stack of manuscripts in his hand.

"It's much better, thank you for your breakfast." Li Qin expressed his gratitude with a smile on his face, and the young man sat across from him and said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Xiu, and the editor-in-chief is discussing the details of comics and contracts with Meng Huo. I will leave it to you." responsible for conveying."

He put the manuscript on the table: "Please take a look, this is Meng Huo's work."

Li Qin took the manuscript, she hadn't read the comics much, she turned a few pages uncomfortably but didn't think much: "Is this drawing good?"

"Of course it's very good!" Zhang Xiu nodded and exclaimed in admiration, "There are very few original comics that can meet this standard, regardless of drawing skills or content... Madam, please take a closer look."

Li Qin turned a few more pages: "Well, it seems so."

Zhang Xiu was not very satisfied with her attitude, took the manuscript, opened the last page and put it on the table: "Madam, how about this picture?"

Li Qin looked down and was taken aback for a moment. Although she hadn't read the manga, the picture was really beautiful. The boy on it attracted Li Qin's attention. His expression was full of doubts, which made people wonder what happened to him. What?

"I'll take another look."

Li Qin felt a surge of interest, picked up the manga and read it again.

"Your son is a manga genius, Madam should be a little self-conscious." Zhang Xiu pushed up his glasses, and Meng Huo was able to attract the curiosity of others with just a picture, which was unprecedented.

Of course, talents are only eye-catching when they are not mature, and the charm of comics still comes from the story itself.

The story of "Detective Conan" is very good, and Li Qin soon showed surprise.

"Is this really the story he drew?"

Since she was a child, she felt that Meng Huo liked to draw, but the things he drew were messy, but now it seems that they are not messy at all. These pictures are not only beautiful, but also full of wisdom that she can't even think of - detective comics will give others an illusion of high intelligence.

For the first time, Li Qin found that her child seemed strange, but she was usually busy with work and didn't know that Meng Huo's ability was normal. Just thinking about it this way, Li Qin would feel ashamed of himself as a mother for caring too little about Meng Huo.

Zhang Xiu on the side was relieved to see her expression. He didn't know that Meng Huo was only fifteen years old, but the task given to him by the editor-in-chief was to persuade Li Qin.

"Let's talk about the manuscript fee." Zhang Xiu picked up another document and opened it on the table.

Li Qin pulled herself together, she didn't understand manga, but she could understand manuscript fees.

"How much is the manuscript fee?"

"If this comic is released in a serial form, there will be about 20 pages per week, and 200 Huaxia coins per page. If a single book is released in the future, the royalties will be 5% to 10% of the price. Of course, this matter is based on the editor-in-chief and Meng Huo. The outcome of the discussion shall prevail."

"so much!!"

Li Qin was dizzy for a while, 20 pages per week, 200 Huaxia coins per page, doesn't it mean that she can get at least 16,000 manuscript fees every month-this is six times her monthly salary for working more than ten hours a day !

Li Qin didn't know what the concept of royalties was, but she knew that her son was promising, he was so promising! It turned out that she was still worrying about the tuition fee, and it was completely in vain!
