Comic cheating, dream-eating life

Chapter 12 Signing Contract

At 7 p.m., Koji Yoshida arrived.

"I'm sorry because I have to deal with Mr. Obata Takeru's matter."

"It's okay, please sit down."

Minami Shiki and Yoshida Koji sat down at the coffee table, Haruka brought tea, and Natsuna and Chiaki watched secretly at the door.

Seeing that Koji Yoshida really came over with the signing documents, Xia Nai was very shocked: "Can that guy from Shiki really sign the contract?"

"Didn't Mr. Yoshida come to pass?" Chiaki pushed his head upwards and hit Shana's chin.

"What's wrong, Qianqiu? It hurts!"

"Be polite to Brother Siji, and Brother Siji works so hard, so it's normal to sign a contract!"

Xia Nai rubbed her chin and said helplessly: "What's wrong with Qianqiu? In the past few months, he suddenly likes Shiki so much? He also likes this cute sister of mine!"

"How could I like you? Bagyalu!"

Qianqiu thought about the hard-working Shiji. He had changed a lot in the past two months, and he was completely different from the good-for-nothing brother he used to be.

Now that the results are finally showing, she clasped her hands in front of her chest and her voice softened: "Congratulations, Brother Siji."

living room.

"Let's get started directly," Yoshida took out a pile of documents and explained each item to Nan Shiki.

"No problem, but what about the specific royalties?"

Yoshida raised a finger: "The signing fee for a new artist is 20,000 yen per manuscript.

Summing up the Southern Seasons: "One episode per week, 19 pages per episode, 4 weeks in a month, 76 pages in total, so the monthly income is 20,000 yen..."

Xia Nai silently clenched her fists: "That's a lot. A monthly income of 20,000 yen, that's a lot of money!"

She counted with her hands, "I can eat many, many, many barbecues!"

Yoshida Koji shook his head: "It is indeed 20,000 yen, but..."

"but?"

"There will be fees for assistants," he explained: "Normally, there will be three assistants to help with the work. Like you, Teacher Nan, you should need assistant services four days a week."

"They will be responsible for painting backgrounds, collecting materials, painting black and white, handling shadows, etc. The daily salary of a general assistant is 10,000 yen. The daily salary of a senior assistant is between 20,000 and 50,000 yen."

"In addition to the need to pay for their meal and transportation expenses, it actually only counts the income from the serialization..."

Nan Siji showed an expression of disbelief and pointed at herself with her index finger: "Am I responsible for these expenses..."

"Yes, the cartoonist needs to pay. After all, I am working for you."

"I can't believe it," Minami Shiki widened his eyes: "For a company as big as Yueisha, "Jumk" even has works such as "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", "One Piece" and "Naruto". Under its banner The income of writers is so low?”

"Yes!" Xia Nai jumped out, "Did you take all the kickbacks from the editor-in-chief?"

Chunxiang said angrily: "Xia Nai!"

She went up and dragged Xana away, while apologizing to Yoshida Koji: "I'm sorry, our sister is so rude, I'm really sorry.

As Xia Nai struggled with "But, but", she was dragged further and further away...

Koji Yoshida took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat with a embarrassed expression.

"It's really hard to figure out this little girl..."

Looking at Nan Siji who was still struggling, he sat next to Nan Siji and patted him on the shoulder.

"You definitely don't have much income just from monthly royalties. But you have to think about the income of Mr. Akira Toriyama and Mr. Oda!"

"The majority of the income from outstanding works in "Jumk" comes from copyrights!"

"Takahashi Kazuki, the author of "Yu-Gi-Oh!", ranks among the top in terms of income every year."

Nan Siji was gradually persuaded. Yes, this was similar to the Internet writing masters in previous lives, and most of their income came from copyright.

"And if you think about it, the writer's income also includes single books. As long as "Ultraman Tiga" has more chapters, he will definitely be able to publish a single book."

"By that time," he looked around at the Nan family's rented room, which was cramped and cramped, "we can move to a spacious and bright villa!"

"You can use the big room to store your collection of comic figures, and you can buy a small train to play in the room. You are riding a bicycle now, and you can change it to a Yamaha at that time."

Yoshida Koji whispers like a devil, and Nan Shijia seems to be immersed in a dream, floating in the clouds, so comfortable that he can't help himself.

His classmate Bo Mo Quan'er owns a motorcycle, which he has always envied.

In his previous life, where motorcycles were restricted in the city, he had never experienced the feeling of a motorcyclist riding fast.

He once watched an animation called "Keke", which started with the resonant sound of a group of motorcycle engines racing.

It really fascinated him.

"Yes...yes..."

Yoshida Koji showed a successful smile and spread out the contract: "So, sign it, sign it. As long as you sign the contract, you will have a happy life."

Nan Siji felt that her body couldn't help but sign her name before her brain moved.

"good!"

Yoshida Koji put away the contract and stretched out his right hand: "We have a happy cooperation, Teacher Chun Xia Qiu."

Spring, Summer, and Autumn are the pen names agreed upon by Shiki and Yoshida.

After all, cartoonists all have pen names.

Using a real name will inevitably lead to the impact of reality.

Acheng Mu Mengye used her original name before, but was humiliated by her classmate Ishizawa. The painting mocking Mashiro Tall is not worthy of Takagi Akito's storyboard.

To avoid trouble, use a pen name.

I thought about the pen name Four Seasons for a long time, and finally considered using the names of my family members. Haruka, Natsuna and Chiaki.

“A pleasure to work with.”

Nan Siji shook hands with him. Feeling the strength in his palms, he looked at Yoshida Koji's smile and felt his strong feelings.

Yoshida looked at his watch and stood up: "Then I'll leave first. It's already 8 o'clock."

"Walk slowly."

Nan Shiki sent Yoshida to the door.

"In the next two days, I will contact my assistant. Be prepared."

"I only need one assistant." Nan Siji said, "You also know my speed. Three assistants are too many for me."

"This is not possible," Yoshida shook his head repeatedly, "The editor-in-chief told you to have a good rest. There is only one assistant who can't catch up without staying up late."

"Don't pity this little money. What's important now is the serialization. As long as there's no problem with the serialization, this little expense is nothing."

Nan Siji raised two fingers, "Then two! I only need two assistants!"

"Okay... okay." Yoshida compromised.

"But I will keep following the progress. If the comic cannot be completed, I will hire another assistant."

"Also, don't stay up late at night."

He shook his phone and said, "I will contact your family."

Nan Siji's eyes widened: "When did you get your mobile phone number?"

"These two days."

When he walked to the elevator door, he saw a rental notice for the room next to him, and his eyes lit up.

"Rent this house! Cartoonists definitely need a studio. Your house is too small..."

"..."

"I will also buy three more comic desks to make my work more efficient."

"..."
