Rebirth of the Father of Anime

Chapter 12: The first confrontation with a publisher

   After more than half a month of military training, the real university life officially began.

   He Chen's physical fitness can only be regarded as medium among ordinary people. He also checked his attributes through the system during military training.

   Health: 44. Response: 37. Body strength: 46.

   has been improved to a certain extent. If 1 attribute requires 1,000 reputation to convert, it is equivalent to saving 9,000 reputation for He Chen.

   I just don’t know if this improvement will fall back because I don’t exercise?

   Zhou Zhe is not interested in He Chen's cartoons, but he is also not biased. He occasionally talks with He Chen about economic issues.

   He Chen doesn't know this kind of problem. He has never studied economics in his two lives, so he can only tell him a few words about the magnificent industrial chain brought about by comics in the last life.

   As for Zhuang Bufan, after that time, he rarely talked to He Chen. But he and Luo Hao walked very close, and Luo Hao didn't know why Zhuang Bufan was doing this.

   He Chen touched his nose. As expected, human beings are a very strange creature.

   The days of military training are very tense. He Chen has no time to draw cartoons, but he is also not idle. These days, he has searched for Yanjing’s comics publishing house on the Internet.

   finally selected a few of the most powerful ones, and then took advantage of the weekend to visit one by one with his own drawings.

   He didn't use e-mail to submit articles. He wanted to see with his own eyes how these editors view comics!

   It has been nearly October, and the weather has become much cooler. Following the bustling crowd, riding the subway and humming the first theme song of the Monster Elf, He Chen came to the first publishing house.

   "Hello, what can I do?"

   The lady at the front desk asked with a sweet smile on her face very politely.

   is indeed a big publishing house!

He Chen exclaimed in his heart, a little nervous: "You, hello, I'm here to contribute." Contributing in person is to promote his products. As an otaku, it is the first time in his life for him, and tension is inevitable. of.

   "Submit? Is there an editor for reservation?"

   "Huh?" When He Chen heard it, the editor had to make an appointment. No one had ever told him about this!

   After a glance at the front desk, he understood. There is no impatience, and he always keeps the same smile: "Then which aspect of your submission?"

   "Comic!" He Chen said hurriedly.

   "Comic?" The front desk was stunned. As a big publishing house, she had seen countless people and submitted countless contributions, but what is a cartoon?

   "...little book." He Chen was unwilling in his heart, but he explained to her with words that she understood better.

   After hearing this, the front desk suddenly realized: "Well, please wait with her in the reception room, and we will contact the editor for you." Then, he greeted a beautiful woman, and He Chen Pidianpidian followed the beautiful woman and left.

   There are many reception rooms, and the sound insulation effect is very good. He Chen looked around curiously and listened to the occasional roar from inside.

   "Editor Zhao, my book has tens of millions of hits on the Internet, why can't it be published?"

   "No matter how high the click is, there is something wrong with it. The writing and writing requirements for physical publishing are different from those on the Internet!"

   "Teacher Zhang, look at the plot in your manuscript, did you change it slightly?"

   "What! Change? Why do you want to change, I think it's better!"

   "But, if you write like this, I'm afraid you will lose a lot of readers..."

   "Hey, they don't understand it. My book is only for people who can read it. If you don't understand, let them go!"

  "..."

   "It's here, please come in." The beauty suddenly stopped in front of an empty room and said politely.

   He Chen looked up, and there was a "7" sign hanging on it. This number is good. Does He Chen's lucky number indicate that today is about to start?

   walked in, the furnishings in the room were simple.

   "Excuse me, is it tea, coffee or juice?"

   "Oh, tea, tea."

   Then, the beauty nodded to He Chen and closed the door. After a while, He Chen heard the knock on the door again.

   "Please come in."

   The beauty came in, offered a cup of tea for He Chen, then pointed to a button on the table and said: "The editor who will contact you will come in a while. If you have any requirements, please click here to contact the front desk."

   He Chen nodded. After the beauty left, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

  I was too nervous when I came to this place for the first time. He Chen adjusted his posture, leaned comfortably on the sofa, and muttered to himself: "This is so good, it seems that the editors here should not be so short-sighted."

   He Chen took out both the EVA and the pokemon. Because there were too many pokemon, he only took the content of the first 10 episodes, basically clarifying the structure of this world completely.

   After thinking for a while, I put the EVA in again, or first take a pokemon to explore the wind.

   After waiting for a while, the editor came. He was an uncle who looked in his thirties and had a Chinese character face.

   "Excuse me, I was so busy today, I made you wait for a long time." The uncle came in and saw a teenage boy. He was taken aback, but he recovered immediately, closed the door, and said as he walked.

   "It's okay." He Chen understands that if a publishing house editors do nothing all day, it is not far from closing the door.

   "He Chen... isn't it? I'm the editor of the Xiaorenshu here, Guo Yi, just call me Yige."

   He Chen had done grades at the front desk. When Guo Yi came, he already knew He Chen's name.

   "Are you going to contribute a manuscript? Do you have a manuscript?" Guo Yi acted vigorously, sitting opposite He Chen, without saying anything, and went straight ahead.

   "Yes!" He Chen handed the pokemon elf to Guo Yi.

   Guo Yi was stunned again. Little human books are all kind of short stories for children's enlightenment. Has he ever seen such a thick stack of little human books drawn on standard A4 paper?

   Guo Yi took it with both hands, and on the cover were five characters "**wuwu elves".

   What kind of story is this telling?

   With curiosity in his heart, Guo Yi opened the cover, and just saw the first page, he was stunned again. He found that today seemed to be the day he was stupefied the most.

   "This painting is...too detailed." The elves are not known for their painting skills, but even so they have already lost hundreds of blocks of the so-called villain books.

   Guo Yi frowned first, then his eyes lit up after reading a few pages: "This kind of story is very interesting... it is a fairy tale color."

   "Not bad! Very good!" Guo Yi watched and praised again and again. As the editor of a big publishing house, how could he not see the charm of this?

"A story that has never been seen before! It is wonderful! And it is full of love, hard work, justice, and entertaining. It gives me a completely different feeling from the traditional comic book!" After reading, Guo Yi sorted out the drawing. , Handed it to He Chen, and said happily.

  Among all the editors of the publishing house, Xiaorenshu has the lowest editing status—because it is a kid’s stuff and doesn’t make money. If it weren't for the state subsidies, I'm afraid they would cut this type directly.

   But after seeing the little man book brought by this child today, he seems to have seen a brand new door-it turns out that the little man book can also be so interesting!

   Hearing Guo Yi said this, He Chen understood that it was basically passed.

   is worthy of being a classic, and I can't even use the sales words I have prepared for a long time, so I directly conquered the editor.

   "Of course it's different!" He Chen said proudly, "How can I compare to my comics!"

   "Comic...It was called a comic!" Guo Yi muttered to himself, and immediately decided: "Okay! Now let's talk about the issue of publishing contracts!"

   can finally be published!

   He Chen was excited in his heart, but his face was calm. Although he was here for the first time, he knew that if the emotions were superficial, the negotiation would already be in a passive position. In order to obtain higher benefits from the negotiation, he must suppress his inner ecstasy.

   "Ten thousand, sell us all the copyrights of your monster elf!"

   This time it's He Chen's turn to be stunned, ten thousand yuan? I heard it right!

   The purchasing power of money in this world is the same as that of the previous life, so 10,000 yuan is the 10,000 yuan that He Chen understands. Just buying an Apple computer, there is no more than 10,000 yuan!

   "...This is a monster elf, it's very long! It can be painted for a long, long time!" He Chen emphasized.

Guo Yi doesn’t seem to know what He Chen said about painting for a long time...After all, the little books in this world are all independent short stories. A story can be drawn in two or three pages, but He Chen’s ten words are more than two hundred pages, which is far away. Far beyond his imagination.

"You are a little man book after all, ten thousand yuan-for the sake of your talk so much, it is already the highest price in the little man book world, and it is impossible for anyone to make a higher price than this." Guo Yi's voice cooled down. He thought that the young man He Chen didn't know the market and had too much appetite, so he was quite dissatisfied and explained.

   The little man-books he handles in his hands are usually several hundred and several hundred, and at most one or two thousand. It is really good to see the elves who can give ten thousand to him.

   As for making money... he doesn't think he has no income, and can only rely on his parents' children, how many books of this kind can be bought. So he is optimistic about the story, but not optimistic about the value of the pokemon itself.

   "Ten thousand yuan, all the copyrights of the pokemon?"

"Correct!"

   "I..." He Chen almost scolded again.

   10,000 yuan, I just want to buy all the copyrights of the elves worth billions of dollars, dream it!

   "I won't sell the copyright! As for publishing income, I want a 15% commission!"

   15% commission is considered a very high commission in the publishing industry, but He Chen believes that the strength of the monster elves is absolutely qualified to receive such commissions. Moreover, no matter how much money is given, He Chen will not let go of the copyright of the zombies. This represents not only a zombies, but an enduring series!

   "...you are crazy!" Guo Yi also screamed out. He had seen countless newcomers lions open their mouths. UU reading www.uukanshu.com was the first time this whale had opened his mouth.

   15% commission, what does this mean? A commission that can only be obtained by popular first-line writers!

   is a small book, and it is still painted by an unknown, childish newcomer, and does not sell the copyright. If he gave it, I'm afraid he will be fired tomorrow.

   "Sorry, not only we can't give this, no publishing house in the world will give it!" Guo Yi refused.

"Is there nothing to talk about?" He Chen's heart gradually became cold. He knew the terrifying commercial value of the monster elves and made great concessions, but the other party still stuck to his mind. He Chen I have decided to abandon this place...How far can he go for a publishing house without vision?

   "Twenty thousand! Up to twenty thousand! Buy out!" Guo Yi gritted his teeth, and he had to apply for only two thousand, which was the highest value he felt the publisher could give.

   "Well, I understand!" He Chen got up directly without hesitation.

   Let's not talk about it? So decisive!

   Guo Yi's heart suddenly fell empty, as if he really missed something. Then shook his head, no matter how good it looks, it is still a little book, a child's stuff, what value is it?

   "Welcome to the next submission!" Guo Yi sent He Chen away, and finally said politely.

   "No way, a publishing house without vision, I will never come again!"

   He Chen left without looking back!
