Chapter 1146: Meeting

When Wei Mao first received Qian Sheng's call, he was a little surprised.

Although "Girls Century" is the best girl comic magazine, but due to the sales volume and readership, "Girls Century" can only be regarded as a second-tier magazine. Compared with Duoman.com, the number one comic website in China, there is a big difference .

At present, the only comic platform in China that can stabilize Duoman.com is "Comic Future".

He never thought that he could be connected with Duoman.com, because he draws shoujo manga. Although Duoman.com is a comprehensive magazine, shoujo manga is definitely a niche theme.

As the editor-in-chief of Duoman.com, Qian Sheng can call in person, which means that Duoman.com is very interested in him.

Regardless of success or failure, there is nothing wrong with seeing each other.

Thinking of this, Wei Mao came to the agreed coffee shop on the agreed day.

In order to show his sincerity, he deliberately came to the coffee shop half an hour earlier, ordered a cup of coffee, and warmed up.

After drinking one cup, Wei Mao was about to order another cup when he saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses walking straight towards him.

Wei Mao stared at the middle-aged man, who immediately smiled and nodded slightly at him. Only then did he conclude that the middle-aged man in front of him was Qian Sheng.

"Editor Qian?" Wei Mao stood up and asked tentatively.

"Mr. Wei, good afternoon, the teacher looks more handsome than on TV, full of star style." Qian Sheng laughed.

"Ah?" Wei Mao froze for a moment, his face embarrassed.

He does have a group of loyal readers who support him online, but more people put the label of "star cartoonist" on him.

Is it really a star?

Wei Mao felt aggrieved. What a cartoonist is most talked about is not his works, but his appearance and gossip. It is really ironic, but he has no choice but to refute, because what is said on the Internet is also true.

In the past year, he has appeared on TV too many times, even more than some TV stars. This year has just passed, and several media want to interview him.

He wanted to refuse, but he didn't have the right to refuse.

"Don't bury me.

What star is not a star? I'm just a cartoonist. "Wei Mao laughed awkwardly.

"Teacher's reputation in the circle now exceeds that of many well-known cartoonists. Teacher, you only spent two years. This speed is exaggerated." Qian Sheng laughed.

"I haven't done enough. Cartoonists still have to use cartoons to speak." Wei Mao shook his head quickly.

"But fame is also your unique resource." Qian Sheng chuckled.

The waiter came over, Qian Sheng ordered a cup of milk tea, and put the cotton coat on the chair.

After the two sat down, Wei Maocai asked again: "Editor Qian, it seems that there are not many girl comics on your website? Do you need them?"

"Of course." Qian Sheng shook his head, "We are a comprehensive comic website, and we don't deliberately pursue a certain type of comics. Some of our readers like to read girl comics. Since our magazine is mainly based on membership , any user who recharges as a member will also read some different types of comics, not just limited to a certain type."

"So that's how it is..." Wei Mao nodded slightly, holding the coffee cup with both hands, took a sip, and after putting down the cup, he couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, why did you ask me out?"

"Of course it's an appointment."

"I still have the manuscript... "Full House" is still being serialized." Wei Mao shook his head.

"Really can't think about it? Salary and other things can be negotiated, and, like "Girls Century", there shouldn't be a contract that prohibits you from serializing outside the station, right?" Although Qian Sheng was already mentally prepared, he heard Wei Mao That said, it is inevitable that I will be a little disappointed.

Wei Mao's popularity cannot be compared with other cartoonists.

"There is really no way." Wei Mao shook his head.

He is very conflicted and knows that this is a good opportunity, but...he has no right to choose now.

On the surface, it looks beautiful, what kind of single volume sells 400,000 copies, what celebrity cartoonist, female reader's idol... these are just superficially good-looking.

Fan Yinmo pays for the painting.

It doesn't matter whether the sales volume of the booklet is good, or the copyright of animation and film and television, because his manuscript was sold for 300 yuan per page long before the whole book was serialized.

Now that "Full House" is a big hit, at his request, Fan Yinmo raised his manuscript fee by 200 yuan per page.

40,000 a month, deducting income tax, and then deducting the expenses of assistants, there is basically nothing left. He even rented the suits for the show.

There is no way, it is really too extravagant for him to change a suit for a show.

It seems that the superficial beauty is boundless, but he only won the superficial and famous, but in terms of income, it is really poor.

All origins are on that photo.

"When is the teacher going to finish "Full House"? After it is finished, you can consider our website. Our salary may not be too high, and we will give you a unit price of 3,000 yuan per page. If your work is promoted to the Hall of Fame in the future, you can adjust it. Subscribe, so the income will be higher. Related copyrights, joint development." Qian Sheng never thought that he could directly ask Fan Yinmo to agree, and he had a back hand when talking about it.

"3000?" Wei Mao whispered.

That's six times his current salary.

"Isn't it enough? That... as long as you want, we can talk about it later." Qian Sheng thought that the quotation he gave was low, so he quickly changed his words.

Wei Mao was surprised, but he had been on several shows anyway, so he had no adaptability. Seeing Qian Sheng's answer, he also calmed down, "It's really not a matter of price. "Full House" is in The serialization of "Girls Century" cannot be said to be over, but it will be over."

Wei Mao answered while thinking about countermeasures and weighing the pros and cons.

Drawing comics is not something else, so it is impossible for him to have time to earn extra money. Serializing a new comic means that "Full House" must be finished, otherwise the energy and physical strength will be unbearable.

There was a choice, "Full House" or Duoman.com, which one was more important to him.

"Let me ask, what are the standards of other cartoonists?" Wei Mao changed the subject.

"Other cartoonists... On our website, Mr. Wang Yunze has the highest salary, 30,000 per page, but it's also because he is the cartoonist with the best grades in China, except Mr. Shen, so he deserves this money."

The average sales volume of one million volumes is a dividing line. Like "The Legend of the Dragon King", a super-long comic with a length of more than 70 volumes can still achieve such results, which is enough to describe it as horror.

"Other cartoonists all go up to 15,000." Seeing that Wei Mao was silent, Qian Sheng added another sentence, "I know that Mr. Fu Bo's initial manuscript fee was also very low. Now, "Shengwu Academy" enters the market." Hall of Famous Works’ income ranks among the top ten on the website. It’s not that we only give authors 15,000 yuan per page, but that after cartoonists enter the Hall of Famous Works, they will be converted into subscriptions, and their income will exceed 15,000 yuan per page.”

"Famous Works Hall?" Wei Mao was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself.

He seemed to have heard about this from Qiuqian.
