The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

"The two contracts of Chinese characters and this article are the basis. I don't want the basic remuneration, and various bonuses for good sales performance. I want sales revenue. 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 For example, animation, games, even movies, TV series, etc. are mine." Yang Dongxu did not pretend to speak out his request.

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

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

"Of course, if other copyrights are needed by Shueisha, 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 other companies ask me about this matter, I will give priority to telling your company." Yang Dongxu knows himself The terms proposed are a bit like overlord terms, so they give some sweetness.

"Mr. Xiaoxu, forgive me for not being able to promise you. I can't have such great authority." Ono Matsutomo stood up and bowed to Yang Dongxu with a very apologetic expression.

"Even an executive with authority would not agree to such terms as yours, and even Toriyama-kun does not have such preferential treatment." Yoshimi Kurai, who had been looking at Yang Dongxu silently with amazed eyes, said angrily.

As a small country, Kurai Yoshimi is inferior, but as a technological powerhouse, Kurai Yoshimi is proud. Especially in the face of Huaxia, 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 such a country, what kind of status and qualifications does a little boy who just drew a good manga have, and where did he have the courage to make such excessive demands.

"Kurai Yoshimi, you are too much, hurry up and apologize to Xiaoxu-kun." Ono Matsutomo shouted at Yoshimi.

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

Although RB's comics industry is not as developed as later generations, the competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Therefore, whether it is looking for comics or robbing cartoonists, every comic agency can be said to spare no effort, otherwise he would not work hard. Come to China.

Therefore, although Yang Dongxu's proposal was excessive, he did not immediately reject it. Instead, he stood up and bowed to show his attitude. In his opinion, as long as Yang Dongxu recognizes his current status, this comic can still be discussed, even if the manuscript fee is higher.

"Excessive?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his face and turned cold. Ono's expression changed instantly.

In fact, when he asked Cangjing to apologize just now, he observed Yang Dongxu subconsciously from the corner of his eye. Capture exactly what reaction is on his face.

Seeing Yang Dongxu's face turn cold, Ono's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that the plan of making a bad face and a bad face would not come true.

The kid in front of him is really important to their comic publishing house, and he must sign it if there is any problem.

"Kurai Yoshimi." Ono Matsutomo roared again, and at the same time stared at him, which was another signal for his assistant to restrain himself.

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

Facing Cangjing who bowed and bowed, Yang Dongxu had an uncomfortable expression on his face. He looked carefully at Cangjing, and then at Ono next to him. His gaze made the two of them very uncomfortable.

When Ono felt that he should throw out some bait to continue the negotiation, Yang Dongxu retracted his eyes and seemed to ponder for a while and said, "I don't know which manga sells best in your country now?"

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

"That's right. Toriyama-kun's comics are very popular, with an average monthly sales of more than 60,000 copies." Ono Matsutomo glanced at his assistant, but this time he didn't say anything to reprimand him.

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

"Are there more than 60,000 volumes?" Yang Dongxu rubbed his head off work and fell into deep thought.

What is the sales volume of more than 60,000 copies per month? Naturally, there are not many in later generations, because there are many comics with cumulative sales of over 100 million in later generations, which are not comparable to comics with monthly sales of 60,000 copies.

But for the current RB market, there are quite a lot. After all, comics are not as popular as later generations. More importantly, RB has not formed a comics industry chain and an atmosphere for reading comics, and the same is true around the world. So "Arale" has such a score now that it is really not low.

"How about this." Yang Dongxu raised his head in deep thought: "The conditions I just proposed remain unchanged. We are based on a monthly sales volume of 80,000 copies. I want 5% of the sales volume as the royalties.

10% for more than 10 volumes, 15% for 150,000 volumes, 20% for 200,000 volumes, 30% for 300,000 volumes, and a maximum of 30%. At the same time, when the copyrights I mentioned just now exceed 100,000 copies, the animation and game adaptation rights are mine. If the copyright exceeds 200,000 copies, except for the publishing and sales rights of comics, the rest of the copyrights are mine. At the same time, those priority commitments remain unchanged. . "

"This." Yang Dongxu's contract proposal undoubtedly moved Ono Matsutomo very much.

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 the manuscript fee. Although it is a bit high, it is not unacceptable. As for more than 100,000 volumes, Ono Matsutomo didn't think about it at all, it was simply impossible, even if Amaterasu appeared.

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

Kurai Yoshimi, who heard Yang Dongxu's proposal, widened her eyes in disbelief. She had never seen such an insolent person. Even some well-known cartoonists in RB could not reach the height. He actually set it as the lowest level. standard.

"We won't be able to get any money at that time, it depends on how you beg us." Yoshimi Kurai sneered in her heart.

Did Yang Dongxu really lose his head when he proposed this cooperation plan? Of course not, he has absolute confidence in "Dragon Ball", but the RB manga industry is still immature after all, so this number is actually a number he gave conservatively.

The only reason why it is conservative and natural is related to the storyline of "Dragon Ball" in memory. According to the memory before rebirth, "Dragon Ball" was actually created by referring to China's "Journey to the West".

There are many characters in "Journey to the West" among them, but when it was published, it fell from the top sales champion at the beginning, and fell to less than a dozen in the comic rankings.

Later, when the plot of the first Tenkabudokai began, the ranking and sales volume rose dramatically, and then it became uncontrollable and became a world-renowned manga with cumulative sales of over 100 million.

However, due to his reasons, "Dragon Ball" appeared earlier, and Akira Toriyama painted "Arale" for four or five years before creating it for less than two years.

So the ups and downs in the previous period 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. So he didn't set that high when he first came up, starting with 80,000 volumes.

"Is the sales volume you are talking about the average sales volume, or does it count as reaching once in a month?" Ono Matsutomo asked very seriously.

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

Are you kidding me? What he is least confident about is the sales volume ahead, so naturally he has to follow the average, otherwise his remuneration for the previous period of time will be in vain?

According to the sales volume of "Dragon Ball" of later generations exceeding 100 million, 100,000 copies a month and 1.2 million copies a year, it will be about forty years until the day Yang Dongxu is reborn. There are 12 million copies in 10 years, and only 48 million copies in 40 years, which are completely within the safe range.

Therefore, even if "Dragon Ball" encountered Waterloo due to its early release, it will take a few years for the RB comics industry chain to become popular, and Yang Dongxu can still get everything he wants.

The only reason why he needs copyright at the point of 100,000 volumes is because of this, thinking that what he wants most is animation and game adaptation rights. As for TV and movies, they are all made up. He has watched the anime of "Dragon Ball" and played the game of "Dragon Ball". As for the movie and TV of "Dragon Ball", what the hell is that? Why haven't I seen it?

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

Obviously, the contract is formulated according to such standards, not only he is happy, but even if he takes it back to the club, he will be happy too. This is equivalent to picking up an excellent comic for nothing.

The average monthly sales volume is 80,000 copies. Hehe, it seems that there are no such comics in their big RB empire.

Seeing the smile on Ono Matsuchi's face, Yang Dongxu also smiled happily.
