Rebirth of the God of Comics

Chapter 4 Serialization Begins

"Hello, is this Mr. Chen Ze?" Chen Ze received such a call the day after he submitted his manuscript.

"I am, may I ask you?"

"I'm the editor-in-chief of New Animation Magazine. We reviewed the "Slam Dunk" you submitted, and we think it's good and has certain commercial value." Such a series of voices came from the phone.

"Then what do you mean?" Chen Ze heard the meaning of Lin Lan's words and was a little excited, but he still confirmed it.

"We feel that there is a need to sign a contract! What do you think?"

Lin Lan's words confirmed what Chen Ze was thinking, and he swallowed. If someone wanted to sign a contract with him half a month ago, of course he took it for granted. However, after half a month of rejecting the manuscript, he was indeed a little excited when he heard the news of the signing.

"No problem." Chen Ze took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and replied.

"That's good." Chen Ze's answer made Lin Lan heave a sigh of relief. For such a comic that she values ​​very much, she was also afraid of any accidents. Now that she heard the news of the artist's promise, she was also secretly relieved. in one breath.

"Then let me tell you about our remuneration here. It's basically 400 Huaxia coins for a painting. If you publish a single book in the future, you will also have 8% of the royalties. Online subscriptions are also 50-50 of ours. Of course, these are not For sure, if your comics sell well in the future, then these are negotiable."

Hearing Lin Lan's words, Chen Ze nodded inwardly. This new animation magazine is indeed the same as Time Heart said, and the salary is quite good. He knows the treatment of other magazines. For a newcomer like him, a painting can cost more than 100 Huaxia Coins, so he secretly laughed. He actually got 400 in one go.

The royalties are even better, usually only 3% or 5%, and 8% is already quite a high price. As for 10% or even higher, only those so-called masters or super masters can get it, and newcomers don't even think about it.

In fact, what Chen Ze didn't know was that the reason why the new animation magazine was established was to attract talents and offer better treatment. But it wasn't so good. What really allowed Chen Ze to get this price was the potential of the sketch of "Slam Dunk" he took out, which made Lin Lan very excited.

"Well, if you have no questions, I will send our editor's TT number later, and if you add it, the editor will introduce the specifics of our contract to you."

"Well, okay." Chen Ze returned. After Lin Lan hung up the phone, he did receive a text message from Lin Lan. In the text message, Lin Lan sent both the editor's TT number and her own TT number to Chen Ze, saying that she could contact her if she had any questions in the future.

After Chen Ze boarded TT, he sent a friend request to those two numbers. Lin Lan's own number didn't reply, but the editor quickly approved his request. Then the editor explained to Chen Ze the signing of the contract, and things to pay attention to in the future serialization.

"Our magazine is a weekly magazine, which is issued every Wednesday, so you have to submit your manuscript no later than Monday so that we can print it. Also, don't suspend the magazine if there is no special matter. This is very hurtful, especially for newcomers."

Looking at the most special things to pay attention to sent by the editor, Chen Ze smiled. Zhou Geng may be a headache for other painters, but for him, a reborn and time traveler whose head is full of comics, it is really difficult. It's too simple.

As for suspending the publication, he certainly knew how much damage it would do to popularity.

Although cartoonists will have a time when their heads are crazy or when they are Calvin, but once or twice is fine, if there are too many times, even a master can't bear the consumption.

He remembered that one of the most famous off-time cartoonists in his previous life was Fu Jian. He didn't take a break from time to time while drawing, but drew occasionally during his break. Of course, this also caused his popularity to plummet. If he wasn't too talented, he would have already fallen from the throne of God.

But this is not a problem for Chen Ze. Now he has drawn almost one-tenth of "Slam Dunk". Master" finished.

"Okay, no problem, I understand." Chen Zefa passed this sentence and ended the discussion with the editor. The drawings he submitted this time are enough for the first serialization, so the next submission will be next week, but Chen Ze can't wait to see his own comic serialization.

"Today is Saturday, that is, there are still four days before my comic will be published in the magazine." Chen Ze calculated the time, no matter whether it was his previous life or this life before rebirth, he was just a street painter. I can only watch other people's comics being serialized forever, and I can only daydream about my own comics being serialized. Now I don't have to daydream at last.

He opened his friend's address book, clicked on the dialog box with the Heart of Time, and sent a sentence like "I've passed the draft too!" He now needs to find someone to share his joy, and the first thing he thinks of is the Heart of Time who suggested to him.

"Really, that's great, so we can be regarded as colleagues in the future." The Heart of Time quickly replied, and sent a smiling face.

"Yes, thank you very much this time, I don't know what to do without you." Chen Ze replied.

"Then you can't thank you verbally, you have to take practical actions."

"Then you say thank you, and I will thank you whatever you say. How about I treat you to dinner, as it happens that we have never met before." Although Chen Ze and the heart of time have known each other for a long time, the heart of time is heavy He never mentioned his real situation before, Chen Ze only knew that he and himself were from the same city, and he didn't know anything else.

"What's the point of eating? Why don't I take you to a famous bathing center in our G city to see and see. It's just for you to see what big health care is, how about it?"

Looking at the message from the Heart of Time, Chen Ze swallowed his saliva. Ever since Time Heart met him, he often talked in front of him about how he picked up girls and had sex with him, or about health care horses killing chickens across the country, and what he said made Chen Ze's heart itch.

This time Heart of Time's suggestion made Chen Ze really tempted, but he himself is still a little virgin, and he didn't want to waste his first time on this, so he didn't know how to reply for a while.

"Haha, you don't dare if you know it." Maybe it guessed Chen Ze's entangled heart, the Heart of Time sent such a message, "Just to tease you, let's not meet. It's fine like this, in reality it's not Once you know each other, you can say anything. Once we meet in the future, some things will be hard to say. As for your thank you, I appreciate it."

The time passed quickly between Chen Ze sleeping and painting during the day, and working and painting at night, and Wednesday came soon. On this day, Chen Ze went out early, wanting to buy a new anime weekly magazine - "Manke Weekly", to see what his own comic serialization looks like.

However, to Chen Ze's surprise, he thought it would be difficult to find this magazine. After all, it is a new magazine, and the channel is definitely not good. But I didn't expect it to be in the newsstand next to him. He quickly opened it and saw that the first page was his "Slam Dunk".
