Rebirth of the God of Comics

Chapter 26: Gambling agreement

  In the past life of Chen Ze, the cartoon of "Slam Dunk" accompanied by the huge popularity of the comics immediately caused a sensation in Japan. It set a top 21.4%, an average of 15.3% of the ratings, and even surpassed the ratings of the World Cup.

   As for the animation copyright of such a national-level animation work, Chen Ze certainly didn't plan to sell it as simple as that.

   "I have another idea, let's make a bet." Chen Ze smiled slightly.

   "What gambling?" Li Yuntian asked.

"The bet is on copyright fees." Chen Ze said, "If the average ratings of "Slam Dunk" is below 5%, then I don’t take a cent. If it exceeds 8%, then I’ll take five million; if it’s over 10%, I’ll take it. Ten million; more than 15%, I want 20 million. More than 20%, I want 40 million."

   Hearing what Chen Ze said, everyone present was stunned.

   Chen Ze is fine, right! Li Yuntian thought that although China is a big animation country, with the increase of various entertainment facilities, the ratings of animation are no longer the grand occasion of the year.

   The hottest animation last year, its highest ratings barely exceeded 10%, and the average ratings were only 8%. And now he has given a price of 10 million, so Chen Ze is so confident that the average ratings will exceed 10%?

   Lin Lan was also surprised at Chen Ze’s request at first, but thinking of the miracles he had created, and looking at Chen Ze’s confident face, she suddenly gained confidence in Chen Ze.

   "How about Mr. Li, are you willing to accept my gambling agreement?" Chen Ze smiled.

   Li Yuntian looked at Chen Ze carefully, trying to see why he was so confident. But after a long time, he only understood the word confidence on Chen Ze's face. As for the source, he still knows nothing.

   "It's really terrifying to the younger generation, and the younger generation is terrifying!" Li Yuntian sighed. At his age like Chen Ze, he is still working hard for a job several thousand a month. However, Chen Ze dared to make a bet worth tens of millions with himself. At such a moment, Li Yuntian felt that he was old.

   "Well, since Chen Ze, you don't want a ten million contract, dare to bet like that, what can I dare to do!" Li Yuntian was infected by Chen Ze and said with pride.

   But Li Yuntian actually thought about it carefully. Although he has confidence in slam dunk players, he also feels that the average viewership rate is between 8% and 9%, which is similar to the animation in the fire last year. According to Chen Ze's gambling agreement, he can save another five million.

   And even if a miracle happened, it broke 10%, which is my original quote. As for 15% and 20%, Li Yuntian dare not even think about it. It has been twenty years since the last animation that reached 20% of the ratings was a work by China’s No. 1 God Li Ming.

   Is Chen Ze able to the point? Li Yuntian thinks it is impossible.

   "Okay, then Mr. Li, we're settled."

   Chen Ze nodded in satisfaction when he heard Li Yuntian's words.

"Okay, when I print out the contract, let's sign the contract another day!" Li Yuntian said, he looked at his watch: "Oh, I still have my own business, so let's go first. Happy cooperation in the future."

   "Happy cooperation!"

   Chen Ze and Lin Lan sent Li Yuntian to the door of the guest room and said. After he left the eyes of the two of them, Chen Ze said to Lin Lan: "Is there anything else the editor-in-chief has? If there is not, I will go back first."

   "Yes, I asked you today not only about the copyright of the "Slam Dunk" animation, but also two things to discuss with you." Lin Lan said.

   "Two things? What's the matter?" Chen Ze was very curious, this beautiful female editor has something to discuss with herself.

   What Chen Ze didn't know was that Lin Lan had been studying abroad and had no friends in China. And she fell out with her father again, so she couldn't find anyone to discuss anything she met, and she had to carry everything on her own.

   And when Chen Ze encountered difficulties in the magazine last time, she helped her a lot. Therefore, Lin Lan thought of him for the first time for these two things.

   "The first thing is the channel broker of our magazine. Recently, he came to me again. It seems that he wants to distribute our magazine again." Lin Lan said.

"Middleman!" Chen Ze said solemnly, "That gang of **** who see profit and forget righteousness! The last time they took advantage of Lotte Club and refused to publish our magazine's magazine, the magazine almost went bankrupt. Now look at us. After blocking Lotte’s troubles, I want to represent our magazine and make money from it. There is no such thing as cheap in the world."

   Before Chen Ze started serializing on the Internet, he had expected that these middlemen would be a group of guys who have forgotten their own interests. At that time, Lotte Society was very powerful, and of course they fell into trouble. And if they can make it through, they will definitely come back thinking about continuing to represent the magazine to make money.

   This is why Chen Ze is confident to use online serialization to sustain the magazine. The money earned from online serialization is not enough to maintain the cost of the entire magazine, even with the popularity of "Slam Dunk".

   But what Chen Ze wants is not to run the magazine by making money online, but to survive the urgent need of being blocked. As long as the magazine survives that stage, the agents will definitely come to the door automatically, which is determined by the merchant's profit-seeking nature.

   Even so, when Chen Ze heard the news, he was still angry at the shameless group of agents.

   "Do you mean not to accept their request? However, the online serialization alone, without them, our magazine will not last long." Lin Lan said worriedly.

   "No, I didn't say that I would not accept them." Chen Ze shook his head, "But there is no such cheap thing in the world. The magazines of our magazine are not what they want or don't want if they don't want it."

"what do you mean?"

   "Rising prices, our magazine used to share a large profit for them. Now, hum, let them know what regret is."

   Chen Ze gave his own advice, although he is not a stingy person. But he still won't be soft when dealing with people who fall into trouble. And because of the popularity of his own comics, one agent does not do it, and another is always willing to accept the conditions to do it.

   Lin Lan listened to Chen Ze's suggestion and nodded ~ www.readwn.com~ seems to be thinking about something. After a while, he continued: "The second thing is that you have been nominated as the best newcomer of the year at this year's Guoman Festival, and "Slam Dunk" has also been nominated as the best newcomer."

   "National Manga Ceremony?" Chen Ze narrowed his eyes.

   This national comic festival is the largest event in the Chinese animation circle in a year, and its status is just like the Oscar in the American film circle. It will select various awards every year to promote the development of the entire animation circle.

   But the power behind him is Lottesha! A few days ago, Tian Lotte Club had to block and beat himself to death, so why did he suddenly nominate himself for the best newcomer?

   This is the weasel giving New Year greetings to the chicken!

   "This is an invitation from the organizing committee. It invites you to participate in this year's National Comic Festival." Lin Lan uncovered an invitation from somewhere and handed it to Chen Zedao.

   Chen Ze took it and looked through it. It said "I invite Mr. Chen Ze to participate in this year's National Comic Festival." The time is the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and the place is in BJ City.

   "The Lotte Club may not be well-intentioned, I think it is better not to go." Lin Lan said worriedly. Judging from her appearance, she was also worried that Chen Ze would go there, and what other means would Lotte Club have.

   "Go, why not go. Since others have invited me, of course I will go."
