Reborn: From Manga to King of Entertainment

Chapter 10 A Call From the Editor

"Old Xie..." After hearing Editor-in-Chief Xie's words, Yang Zhijian couldn't help but stood up and wanted to speak.

It's just that Xie Fei stretched out his hand to stop him before he finished speaking.

"Lao Yang doesn't need to say much, just follow my opinion. I have a hunch that this comic will definitely become another mainstay of our comic department."

Although Xie Fei is not too interested in this kind of comics that are too two-dimensional and light-hearted, the intuition cultivated by the editor-in-chief of seven or eight years of novels over the years is enough to make him sure that his bet this time is very good. It is probably the most correct.

"Ok."

Looking at the mysterious and confident editor-in-chief Xie, who was suddenly born out of nowhere, Yang Zhijian, who was stopped, had no choice but to follow the other party's words. After all, he, the deputy editor-in-chief, had always had the right to make suggestions, let alone a department meeting like this. It's up, and the editor-in-chief has to do everything that needs to be finalized.

"Okay, this matter is settled like this, and then everyone is discussing the other authors on the list."

Later, under the decision of editor-in-chief Xie, this was supposed to discuss the entry of Dragon Ball into the list, but it was changed to Doraemon by accident.

And Lin Biping, who made this suggestion, was also confused by the set of combination punches made by editor-in-chief Xie, and he didn't even continue talking about the original decision of Dragon Ball.

……

On the other hand, after a morning of immersive drawing, two new chapters of Dragon Ball were successfully released. After uploading the two chapters to the backstage of the cartoonist on the website, Xia Yuna sat in front of the computer and drew the whole morning. The tired body once again ushered in liberation.

After stretching, he couldn't help but stood up and walked to the balcony.

There is one thing to say—although I owe more than 300 million because of this house, it is worth it. Not only is it located in the city center, but it is also in a high-end community. There are sanitation vehicles passing by in the community, it can be seen that the property of this community is really hardworking.

I have to say that after staying in front of the computer for a long time, it is a different kind of enjoyment to turn around and look at the tree-lined scenery outside the window.

'Ding ding ding! '

After feeling the ringing of the phone in his trouser pocket, he took out the phone and looked at the big four words "Editor Wild Dog" on it, Xia Yu couldn't help being stunned.

He didn't understand why the other party called him suddenly. If he said that he accidentally delayed the update last night, he explained it in time and also issued a statement. Logically speaking, there should be no other impact.

"Hello! Hello!" After adjusting his mentality, Xia Yu answered the phone and said.

"Mr. Deep Sea, hello, I am your responsible editor Wild Dog. I am here to announce good news to you, that is, your work "Doraemon" has been successfully selected for the August summer comic activity, and won I got the fifth result, I hope you will continue to work hard in the future."

On the other side of the phone, the kind voice of the editor Lin Dawei, whose pseudonym is Wild Dog, reached Xia Yu's ear through the phone.

"August summer comics event? Fifth?" If he hadn't saved the phone number he was responsible for editing in his phone early, Xia Yu would have to beat him to death as a liar just because of the above words.

"Uh, maybe you don't know, Mr. Shenhai, that the August Summer Comics Event is a large-scale event held publicly on our website, but any new works or unfinished works will be included in the event by default, and Mr. Shenhai, your "Duo Doraemon" was reviewed by our editorial department, and it was unanimously agreed to be selected as No.5 and recommended to the homepage of the website."

After hearing the other party's doubts, Lin Dawei on the other end of the phone couldn't help explaining with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Wild Dog." After hearing the attention and reward in the other party's words, Xia Yu also replied happily.

This is really a person sitting at home, joy coming from the sky, Xia Yu did not expect to kill Xia Yu, originally thought it would be another ordinary day, but in the end there would be such a big surprise waiting for him.

After all, as a senior artist who has been in the comics circle for nearly ten years in his previous life, no matter which website he is on, the homepage recommendation of the comic website can be said to be the website’s affirmation and support for the work, and it is still full of support.

After all, a website has countless works, and the homepage of the website is only so big, and the link guide, text description, and category menu have to be thrown away, and there is not much left. To put it badly, even if Putting an advertisement there can earn tens of thousands to millions in a single day.

So if it weren't for the platform's affirmation of the author's work, it would definitely not be placed in this position.

"Next, I will send the specific content and rewards of the event to your WeChat, just remember to read it later." After exhorting, Lin Dawei took the initiative to hang up the phone.

And Xia Yu soon received the specific content of the event from the editor of Wild Dog.

First prize (No.1): 30 cash reward, plus 40 yuan worth of physical book sales sponsorship and 12% of physical book copyright income.

二等奖（第2~4名）：10万现金奖励，再加上价值20万元的实体书发售赞助和百分之8的实体书版权收益。

Third prize (5th to 10th place): 5 cash reward, plus 10 yuan worth of physical book sales sponsorship.

What I want to explain here is the sponsorship of physical books, which means that under the contact of the website and the publisher, the website will actively pay for it, so that the publisher will print the first batch of physical books with a total value of 40 yuan, and promote them to major bookstores, newspapers and periodicals Sale.

And the latter 12% of the copyright income of the physical book means 40% of the 12. That is to say, even if the sales volume is poor and one book is not sold, the author can still get the share of 40. That is the copyright fee of 8000 yuan.

And don't look at the fact that 12% is not a high figure, but in the circle where physical comics are released, this share of income is already at the level of well-known writers. You must know that even big names, that is, top-level cartoonists also get the most share Only 20.00%.

It can be said that for those who have the courage to offer this kind of reward, apart from Singularity, which is already rich and powerful, it is difficult for any website to have such superior conditions to engage in such newcomer writer selection activities.

After all, if the physical publishing loses money, it will really lose money. Both the website and the publisher will lose not only the printing cost of the book, but also various expenses such as publicity and labor.

So Xia Yu had no other opinions, so he happily agreed, and then with a big wave of his hand, he replaced all the update plans of Dragon Ball this afternoon and evening with Doraemon.

After all, as a man, no matter how great the temptation outside is, he still has to fall in love with his first love.
