My Cartoonist Guide

When Wei Mao first received a call from Qian Sheng, he was a little surprised.

Although "Girls' Century" is the best girl's comic magazine, it is limited by sales and readers. "Girls' Century" can only be regarded as a second-tier magazine. Compared with Duman.com, which is the number one cartoon website in China, it is quite different. .

At present, there is only "ComicFuture" in the domestic comics platform that can stabilize Duoman.com.

He never thought about being connected with Duo Man, because he drew girl manga. Although Du Man is a comprehensive magazine, girl manga is definitely a niche subject.

As the editor-in-chief of Duoman.com, Qian Sheng can call in person, which means Duoman.com is very interested in him.

Regardless of success or failure, there is nothing wrong with seeing each other.

Thinking of this, Wei Mao came to the agreed coffee shop on the agreed day.

To show his sincerity, he deliberately came to the coffee shop half an hour earlier, ordered a cup of coffee, and warmed his body.

After drinking one cup, Wei Mao was about to order a second cup, but he saw a middle-aged man with glasses walking straight towards him.

Wei Mao stared at the middle-aged man, and the other party immediately smiled and nodded slightly at him. Only then did he conclude that the middle-aged man in front of him was Qian Sheng.

"Editor Qian?" Wei Mao stood up and asked tentatively.

"Teacher Wei, good afternoon, the teacher looks more handsome than on TV, and the star fan is full." Qian Sheng laughed.

"Huh?" Wei Mao was taken aback for a moment, his face embarrassed.

He does have a group of loyal readers supporting him online, but more people put the label of "star cartoonist" on his body.

Is it really a star?

Wei Mao felt aggrieved. What a cartoonist is most talked about is not the work, but the appearance and lace news. It is really ironic, but he has no choice but to refute it because what is said on the Internet is also true.

In the past year, he has appeared on TV too many times, even more than some TV stars. Just after the end of this year, several media wanted to interview him.

He wants to refuse, but he has no right to refuse.

"Don't bury me. What celebrity is not a celebrity? I'm just a cartoonist." Wei Mao smiled embarrassedly.

"Teacher's reputation in the circle now surpasses many well-known cartoonists. Teacher, you have only used 2 years, this speed is very exaggerated." Qian Sheng laughed.

"I haven't done enough, the cartoonist still has to use cartoons to talk." Wei Mao shook his head quickly.

"But fame is also your unique resource." Qian Sheng chuckled lightly.

The waiter came over, Qian Sheng ordered a cup of milk tea, and put the cotton coat on the chair.

After the two sat down, Wei Maocai asked again: "Editor-in-chief, Guizhan doesn't seem to have too many girly cartoons, right? Do you need it?"

"Of course it needs." Qian Sheng shook his head, "We are a comprehensive comics website, and will not deliberately pursue a certain type of comics. Some of our readers also like to read girl comics. Because our magazine is based on a membership system. , But every user who recharges membership will also watch some different types of comics, not just limited to a certain category."

"It turned out to be like this..." Wei Mao nodded slightly, holding the coffee cup in both hands, and taking a sip. After putting down the cup, he couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, why did you ask me out?"

"Of course it's a commission."

"I still have a manuscript..."Full of Warm House" is still serialized." Wei Mao shook his head.

"I really can't think about it? Salaries and other things can be discussed, and there shouldn't be a contract that prohibits you from serializing in Girls' Century, right?" Qian Sheng, although he was mentally prepared, heard that Wei Mao That said, it is inevitable to be a little bit disappointed.

Wei Mao's popularity is not comparable to other cartoonists.

"There is really no way." Wei Mao shook his head.

He was entangled and knew that this was a good opportunity, but... he had no right to choose now.

On the surface, it looks beautiful, the single volume sold 400,000 copies, the celebrity cartoonist, the idol of female readers... these are just good-looking on the surface.

Fan Yinmo paid the money and he painted.

It doesn't matter whether the sales of single-page books or the copyrights of animation and film and television have anything to do with him, because his manuscripts were sold for 300 yuan per page long before the whole book was serialized.

Now that "Full of Warm House" is on fire, at his request, Fan Yinmo has increased his drafting fee by 200 yuan per page.

40,000 a month, deducting income tax and deducting the assistant's expenses, there is basically nothing left. He even rents out the suits for the show.

No way, changing a suit for one show is really too extravagant for him.

It seems that the superficial scenery is infinite, but he also only won the superficiality and gained fame, but in terms of income, it is really poor.

All the origins are in that photo.

"When is the teacher going to finish "Full of Warm House"? After the end, you can consider our site. Our salary may not be too high, and we will give you a unit price of 3,000 yuan per page. If the work is promoted to the masterpiece in the future, you can adjust it Subscribe, so the income will be higher. Related copyrights, joint development." Qian Sheng also never thought that Fan Yinmo could directly agree to it, and he would have something to say.

"3000?" Wei Mao said silently.

This is 6 times his current salary.

"Isn't it enough? Well... as long as you want, we can do it and talk slowly." Qian Sheng thought that the offer he had given was low, so he changed his words quickly.

Wei Mao was surprised and surprised, but he had been on several shows at any rate. He said that he was not capable of adapting. Seeing Qian Sheng's answer, he also calmed down, "It's really not a question of price. The "Girls' Century" serialization can't be finished, it can be finished."

Wei Mao answered while thinking about countermeasures and weighing the pros and cons.

Drawing comics is not doing other things, it is impossible for him to have time to make extra money. The serialization of a new comic means that "Full of Warm House" must be finished, otherwise the energy and physical strength will not be able to bear it.

Then he had a choice ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Warm House and Duo Man. Which one is more important in his mind.

"Let me ask, what are the standards of other cartoonists?" Wei Mao changed the subject.

"Other cartoonists...on our website, Mr. Wang Yunze's salary is the highest, 30,000 yuan per page, but it is also because he is a domestic cartoonist, except for Mr. Shen, the cartoonist with the best grades is worth the money."

The sales volume per million is a dividing line. Like "The Legend of the Dragon King", a super-long comic with more than 70 volumes can still have such a result, which is enough to describe it as horror.

"Other cartoonists are going upwards with 15,000." Qian Sheng saw that Wei Mao was silent, and he said again, "I know that teacher Fu Bo's original manuscript fee is also very low, and now, "Shengwu Academy" has entered' Ming Zuo Tang’s income is among the top ten on the website. It’s not that we only give authors 15,000 a single page manuscript fee, but after the comic artist enters the "Ming Zuo Tang", they will be converted into subscriptions, and the income will exceed 15,000 per page."

"Ming Zuo Tang?" Wei Mao was taken aback for a moment and muttered to himself.

He seemed to have said this from Qiu Qian.
