Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

"The two contracts between Chinese characters and this book are the basis. I don't want basic royalties and various bonuses for good sales performance. I want sales shares. At the same time, the copyright of the comics belongs to the studio, and you have the right to publish and sell. But for the adaptation

Rights, such as animation, games, even movies, TV series, etc. are mine." Yang Dongxu stated his request without any pretense.

"This..." Ono couldn't help but change his face.

If he had some doubts about Yang Dongxu's identity just now, he has no doubts at all now. Such contract requirements are not something that a child can make. He kept looking at Yang Dongxu with his eyes, as if he wanted to see who the child in front of him was.

Not really a child, or just an adult with dwarfism.

"Of course, if Shueisha needs other copyrights, I will give priority to selling them to Shueisha under the same conditions. At the same time, if there is any intention to sell other copyrights, or if other companies ask me about this matter, I will tell your company first." Yang Dongxu knew that he

The proposed terms are somewhat overbearing terms, so they are given some sweetness.

"Xiao Xu, please forgive me for not promising you. I can't have such great authority." Ono Songzhi stood up and bowed to Yang Dongxu, looking very apologetic.

"Even the executive with authority would not agree to your terms, and even Toriyama-kun does not have such preferential treatment." Yoshimi Kurai, who had been looking at Yang Dongxu with surprise and said nothing, said angrily.

As a small country, Kurai Yoshimi has low self-esteem, but as a technologically powerful country, Kurai Yoshimi is proud. Especially facing China, which has complex relationships and emotions and is still very backward, she has a sense of superiority.

So he really couldn't imagine that in a country like this, a little boy who just drew a good-priced cartoon had what identity and qualifications, and how could he have the courage to make such excessive demands.

"Kurai Yoshimi, you are going too far. Please apologize to Xiaoxu-kun immediately." Ono Matsutomo shouted at Yoshimi.

He naturally knew that Yang Dongxu's request was excessive, or very excessive. Judging from his years of experience in the industry, he was sure that this was an excellent comic.

Although the comics industry in RB is not as developed as that of later generations, the competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Therefore, whether it is looking for comics or snatching cartoonists, every comics agency can be said to spare no effort, otherwise they would not have gone through all the trouble.

Come to China.

Therefore, although Yang Dongxu's proposal was excessive, he did not reject it immediately. Instead, he stood up and bowed to express his attitude. In his opinion, as long as Yang Dongxu understands his current status, the comic can still be negotiated, even if the royalties are paid to

A bit higher.

"Too much?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his face and turned cold. The expression of Ono next to him changed instantly.

In fact, when he asked Kurai to apologize just now, he consciously observed Yang Dongxu from the corner of his eye to capture the reaction on his face.

Seeing that Yang Dongxu's expression turned cold, his little ambition suddenly flashed, and he knew that the strategy of playing the red face and the bad face could not be realized.

The child in front of them is really important to their comic publishing house, and they must sign it without any problems.

"Kurai Yoshimi." Onomatsuchi yelled again, and at the same time glared at him. This was another signal to his assistant to restrain himself.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxu-kun, I was impulsive just now." Sensing the increasingly severe gaze from his minister, Kurai Yoshimi had no choice but to bow and apologize.

Facing Cang Jing who was bending down and bowing, Yang Dongxu had a troubled look on his face. He looked at Cang Jing carefully, and then looked at Ono next to him. His eyes made the two of them very uncomfortable.

When Ono felt that he should throw out some bait to continue the negotiation, Yang Dongxu withdrew his gaze and seemed to ponder for a while before saying: "I wonder which comic has the best sales in your country now?"

"Of course it's Toriyama-kun's "Arale" (also known as "Dr. IQ"). It has been serialized for less than two years and sales have exceeded 1 million." Yoshimi Kurai was obviously very unconvinced by Yang Dongxu and was particularly proud.

Speaking of.

"Yes, that's right. Toriyama-kun's comics are very popular, with an average monthly sales of more than 60,000 copies." Onomatsuchi glanced at his assistant, but this time he did not scold him.

Obviously, he is very optimistic about and respects the cartoonists in his country, or the cartoonist Akira Toriyama, and at the same time he also wants to suppress Yang Dongxu.

"More than 60,000 copies?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his hands and fell into deep thought.

What is the sales volume of more than 60,000 copies per month? In future generations, it will naturally not be much, because there are many comics in later generations with cumulative sales of over 100 million, which are simply not comparable to comics with monthly sales of 60,000 copies.

However, for the current RB market, it is already quite large. After all, comics are not as popular as in later generations. More importantly, RB has not formed a comics industry chain and an atmosphere for reading comics. This is also the case around the world. So "Alale"

》Now that I have this score, it’s really not low.

"How about this." The pensive Yang Dongxu raised his head: "The conditions I just proposed remain unchanged. We are based on the monthly sales of 80,000 copies. If the monthly sales are less than 80,000 copies, I will not pay a penny. If the monthly sales are above 80,000 copies, I will not pay a penny.

For this book, I want 5% of the sales as royalties.

10% for more than 10 copies, 15% for 150,000 copies, 20% for 200,000 copies, 30% for 300,000 copies, and a maximum of 30%. At the same time, the animation and game adaptation rights I just mentioned when the copyright exceeds 100,000 copies

It's mine. If it exceeds 200,000 copies, except for the comic publishing and sales rights, the rest of the copyrights are mine, and those priority commitments remain unchanged."

"This..." Yang Dongxu's contract proposal undoubtedly made Onomatsuchi very excited.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although he is very optimistic about "Dragon Ball" and even feels that it can compete with "Arale", the monthly sales volume of 80,000 copies is definitely the top in the RB comics industry.

If the monthly sales volume really exceeds 80,000 copies, 5% of the sales volume will be used as royalties. Although it is a bit high, it is not unacceptable. As for more than 100,000 copies, Ono Matsutomo has not even thought about it. That is simply impossible.

Even if Amaterasu appears, it won't work.

Therefore, in his view, this plan was for Yang Dongxu to find a way out on his own. Although he set the minimum standard at 80,000 copies out of anger, it was not a height that could not be reached.

When Yoshimi Kurai heard Yang Dongxu's proposal, her eyes widened with disbelief. She had never seen such an arrogant person before. Even some well-known RB cartoonists could not reach a height, and he actually set the lowest level.

standard.

"You won't get a penny by then, it depends on how you beg us." Kurai Yoshimi sneered in her heart.

Is Yang Dongxu really out of his mind when he proposed this cooperation plan? Of course not, he has absolute confidence in "Dragon Ball", but the RB comic industry is still immature after all, so this number is actually a conservative number given by him.

The reason why being conservative is related to the storyline of "Dragon Ball" in my memory. According to the memory before rebirth, "Dragon Ball" is actually created based on the Chinese "Journey to the West".

There are many characters from "Journey to the West" among them, but when it was published, it fell from the sales top spot at the beginning and dropped to just over a dozen places in the comic rankings.

Later, when the plot of the First World Budokai began, the ranking and sales increased dramatically. After that, it became uncontrollable and became a world-renowned manga with cumulative sales of over 100 million.

However, because of his fault, "Dragon Ball" appeared early, and "Arale" was created less than two years after Akira Toriyama painted it for four to five years.

Therefore, the previous downturn will be avoided because of the early release. After all, there are not many comics now, and the storyline before "Dragon Ball" does not seem so boring. It is still worse than before the rebirth. Yang Dongxu is not sure. Therefore, he is not sure when he comes up.

It’s not set that high, starting from 80,000 copies.

"Is the sales volume you are talking about an average sales volume, or does it only count if it is achieved occasionally in a month?" Ono Matsuchi asked very seriously.

"Of course it's the average sales volume, the average sales volume in all months from the beginning to the end." Yang Dongxu said with certainty.

Are you kidding me? The thing he is least confident about is the sales volume in the past. Naturally, he has to calculate it based on the average. Otherwise, wouldn’t his remuneration for the past period of time be wasted?

According to the sales volume of "Dragon Ball" exceeding 100 million in later generations, 100,000 copies a month, 1.2 million copies a year, until the day Yang Dongxu is reborn, it will only be about 40 years. 12 million copies in 10 years, and only 40 years.

48 million volumes are well within the safety margin of safety.

Therefore, even if "Dragon Ball" suffers a setback due to its early release, it will take a few years for the RB comic industry chain to be established to sell well, and Yang Dongxu can still get everything he wants.

The only reason why he wanted the copyright at 100,000 copies was because of this. He thought what he wanted most was the rights to adapt anime and games. As for TV and movies, they were all made up. He had watched the anime of "Dragon Ball"

, I have played the "Dragon Ball" game. As for the "Dragon Ball" movie and TV show, what the hell are they? Why haven't I seen them?

"In that case, I don't have any problems here." Onomatsuchi nodded, with a smile on his face that was even a little excited.

Obviously the contract was drawn up according to such standards. Not only would he be happy, but those who took it back to the agency would also be happy. This is equivalent to picking up an excellent comic for nothing.

The average monthly sales volume is 80,000 copies. Haha, it seems that there is no comic like this in their big RB empire yet.

Looking at the smile on Onosatsuchi's face, Yang Dongxu also smiled very happily.
