Chapter 219 Chance to pass the draft?
The two, who were tired from walking, sat on a chair and took a rest.

Yuzi stared blankly at the park in the distance, where a few little ghosts were gathering to read comic books.

Sighing, Yuzi said disappointedly: "Boss... Is there really something wrong with us? Could it be that we feel good about ourselves? We don't have the qualifications and standards to publish our comics?"

Li Ze's heart is much stronger than Yu Zi's.

Although he scolded his mother in his heart, on the surface, Li Ze still said calmly: "Our comics are indeed not perfect, and there are indeed some shortcomings. But the flaws are not hidden. The level of our comics, let alone these small publishing houses. Even We are also worthy of a million-level publishing house!"

"The current setback is only because we are not well-known. Everything is difficult at the beginning. When we start, the market and readers will naturally speak for us."

"Who is the king of manga?" Li Ze asked in an astonishing manner.

Encouraged by these words, Yuzi saw the boss asking herself who is the king of comics, so she subconsciously replied, "Could it be...is it us?"

"Wrong! We are not the king of manga yet, we still need a B number for this."

"But Yuzi, don't worry, I can assure you that the king of manga will be ours."

Yuzi's eyes lit up, but then dimmed in an instant: "I feel that this road is so difficult."

"Yes, it's going to be tough, but you know the 101st rejection?"

Yuzi shook his head.

Li Ze said: "The 101st rejection is a well-known theorist of online novels. He has done a lot of in-depth research on various novel routines, writing methods, structures, plots, etc., and he has written hundreds of novels just based on his research experience. Million words."

"At the same time, the 101st rejection is also writing a novel, and has been writing for many years."

Yuzi asked: "Wow, is he such a powerful theorist? Then his novels must be very good and successful, right?"

This time it was Li Ze's turn to shake his head: "On the contrary, although many people regard his theory of online novels as a classic, but it is the 101st time that his own novel has been rejected, but it has repeatedly hit the street."

"Fighting the street, hitting the street, hitting the street, hitting the street day after day. His theory of online novels is getting more and more perfect, but his novels are getting more and more crazy..."

"And the 101st rejection, this pseudonym is also a true portrayal of his own online novel career."

Yuzi asked: "Then the 101st rejection of the manuscript, is it still on the street?"

"I'd love to tell you he got what he paid for, but the reality is: yeah, he's still on the street."

Yuzi asked curiously: "He is so good at theory, why do his novels keep failing?"

Li Ze replied: "I'm not too sure about this. But it's normal to encounter setbacks despite having strength. Just like our "Fu Jiang", which obviously has a very high standard, but at present So far no publishers have asked for it.”

"Paying does not necessarily lead to rewards. Having a standard does not necessarily mean that you will be appreciated."

When Yuzi heard this, a black line appeared on his forehead: "Boss, after hearing what you said, I feel like I've been fed poisonous chicken soup."

Li Ze smiled slightly, and changed the topic: "But remember, failure is also a kind of success to a certain extent."

"Failure is our pain and our wealth."

"Our comic business has a bright future, but it is difficult now."

"We must have the ideal of becoming the king of manga, and at the same time be fully prepared for difficulties."

……

A leader's speech boosted Yuzi's morale and cheered Yuzi up again.

However, although it boosted morale, and talked about some truths about seeing a rainbow after the storm.

But it must be admitted that today is still a day of failure.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Ze took Yuzi back, but he didn't intend to go back to the company, but went to each house to find each mother.

Yuzi's home and Li Ze's apartment were not on the same path, so they parted ways.

On the way back, Li Ze passed a two-story building, and then Li Ze stopped.

"Iwate Shoten Manga Publishing House?"

Unexpectedly, in this unremarkable small street, in this unremarkable two-story building, there is still a comic publishing house hidden.

Li Ze checked the information of Iwate Bookstore.

The Iwate Bookstore has been established for three to five years, and has never gained much fame in the market.

However, Iwate Bookstore often publishes some niche and fresh themes. It is an innovative publishing house. Although these niche themes are difficult to sell, Iwate Bookstore has not been popular so far, let alone cultivated famous cartoonists.

But these fresh attempts have also allowed Iwate Bookstore to gain a group of diehard fans.

The current circulation of the Iwate Bookstore has increased from 5 to 15, at least gaining a firm foothold in the manga industry.

15 copies, this number is indeed not much.

But today's Li Ze is already the kind who can't choose what to eat.

Not to mention 15 volumes, Li Ze, the publisher of Te Niang's 15 volumes, is willing to cooperate as long as the manuscript fee is paid!

Glancing at the time, there should be more than ten minutes before the end of get off work, so Li Ze walked up.

The office building of Iwate Bookstore is an old two-story building. The condition is not very good, but the interior is quite tidy, and there is a warm and nostalgic style of the last century.

This point is quite different from the aggressive and innovative works of Iwate Bookstore.

Without further ado, Li Ze approached the editor, introduced himself as the boss of Xiaoxiami Studio, and handed in his own works.

The editor in charge of the first review of Iwate Bookstore, nicknamed Tianniu.

Tian Niu watched "Fu Jiang" carefully, then nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's a very good work, fortunately I didn't sneak away early today, otherwise I would have missed it."

Tian Niu stood up and continued: "This Fu Jiang, the subject matter and plot are very innovative, and at the same time, the slutty and mysterious girl also makes me very interested."

"I like this work very much, and it passed the first review."

Nice!Li Ze cheered inwardly, but on the surface Li Ze remained calm and said, "Thank you."

Passing the preliminary review means that the possibility of passing the final review is very high.

But before submitting it to the editor-in-chief for final review, we must first talk about the issue of manuscript fees.

Tian Niu said to Li Ze: "I personally think Mr. Li's works are very good, but our Iwate Bookstore is a small publishing house, and we also have a set of guidelines for manuscript fees."

"For new cartoonists like Xiaoxiami Studio, our manuscript fee is 1000 per page. Can you see this number?"

The length of "Fu Jiang" is 18 pages. According to this price, the manuscript fee of "Fu Jiang" is 18000 yuan.

It is indeed not high, but for a small publishing house like Iwate Bookstore, unless it is a famous cartoonist or a particularly promising work, it can only pay this price.

　Thanks for the support of 00, biu Broken Dream, Shushu Fufu, and Liang Gongchang. Thank you everyone!
