Su Mingyang raised his eyebrows as he looked at Lin Wanyu, who was " fleeing ".
This little girl was shy.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Su Mingyang got up to open the door and saw three middle-aged men standing outside.
The three men deliberately distanced themselves from each other. On the surface, they looked very harmonious, but there was a faint smell of gunpowder rising in the dark.
When they saw Su Mingyang, they quickly went over and asked,"Is Mr. Smith home?"
Su Ming Yang glanced at them and smiled."Yes, I am. You must be the chief editor of the comic studio.”
"Yes, I'm Hu Dafa, the chief editor of Zhike. I didn't expect Mr. Su to be so young and handsome.”Hu Dafa pushed up his glasses and praised.
"Hello, I'm Chen Fangnian, the chief editor of the comic series.”Chen Fangnian saw that Su Mingyang was very calm, but his fingers that often changed positions revealed his anxiety.
"Hello, Mr. Su. I'm Xu Haiyang, the editor-in-chief of Painted Soul.”Xu Haiyang was all smiles. His short and fat figure looked like a Maitreya Buddha.
"Come in and sit down." Su Mingyang brought them to the sofa and sat them down.
The three of them hurriedly sat down and were about to speak.
Someone knocked on the door again. Su Mingyang opened the door and saw that it was Guan Gu Shenqi.
"Lord Ming Yang, can I take a look at your manga and learn from it?”Guan Gu scratched the back of his head.
Su Ming Yang smiled." Of course, you can. But now, the chief editors of three comic studios are here. They want to sign my comic. I'll bring it to you later."”
"Damn dog Yi, is Lord Ming Yang's manga that popular? There are actually three of them?" Guan Gu was shocked.
He had been drawing comics for several years, and when he submitted his works to a comic publishing house, he would often be rejected. There had never been a situation where three companies wanted them at the same time.
His most proud masterpiece," Three-legged Cat of Love ", was cut in half.
"Haha, it's alright." Su Mingyang said humbly.
Guan Gu hesitated for a while and said in embarrassment,""Lord Ming Yang, can you introduce me to them? Because I want to submit to them in the future if possible.”
"Of course you can." Su Mingyang agreed readily.
"That's great. Thank you, Lord Ming Yang.”Guan Gu bowed to Su Mingyang excitedly.
Su Mingyang smiled and brought Guan Gu to meet the three chief editors.
When the three chief editors learned that Sekiya was a mangaka from the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, they politely praised him.
They did not express much. After all, they came mainly for Su Mingyang's One Punch Superman.
Guan Gu didn't mind. In order to understand the comics market in China, he sat down to listen after getting Su Mingyang's permission.
Su Mingyang took a sip of tea and looked at the three of them as he slowly said,""Three chief editors, I've already made it very clear on the phone. I'll sign One-Punch Superman to whichever comic company offers the highest salary.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Dafa adjusted his glasses and spoke first,""Mr. Smith, I wonder which contract method you prefer. I'll tell you in detail now.“
"If you want to split the profits, when One-Punch Superman releases a single book, we, Zhi Yin, are willing to give you a 10% royalty share for each book.”
"The guaranteed percentage is 500 yuan per page, plus 4% royalty for each book.”
"If you buy it out, it's 1000 yuan per page. What do you think?”
Su Mingyang had some understanding of the Chinese comics industry before this.
The average newcomer's work would only receive a maximum of 100 yuan per page.
As for the royalty, it was usually between 3% and 10%.
If the work did not gain popularity during the period of its online serialisation, there would be no chance to publish a standalone version.
Hu Dafa's offer was considered generous.
However, Su Mingyang didn't immediately express his opinion. Instead, he looked at the other two editors.
"Mr. Smith, our comic studio is willing to give you 12% of the royalties for each book! As for the bottom line, 550 yuan per page, plus 5% of the royalty, 1200 yuan per page!”Chen Fangnian said confidently.
"Mr. Su, we'll take a 14% royalty share for each copy of Art Soul. The minimum is 600 yuan per page, plus a 5% royalty share, so we'll buy it out for 1250 yuan per page.”Xu Haiyang glanced at the other two chief editors with disdain.
However, the bidding had just begun!
Hu Dafa had long expected this situation and began to raise the price.
"14% per book, 700 per page, 6% royalty, 1300 per page.”
"Split 15%, guaranteed 750, plus 7%, buy out 1400..."
"Split 16%, guaranteed 800, plus 8%, buy out 1500…"
……
The other two chief editors were not to be outdone. They took turns to raise the price, determined to win the Superman Punch comic.
This comic was too attractive to them. The story setting was very novel and unique in the market.
If they bought it, they would conservatively estimate that it would generate tens of millions of commercial value. It would be enough to boost China's declining comics industry.
This was only the manga's standalone publication, not including the adaptation of the anime, game, character, etc.!
In short, the potential of the Superman comic was limitless.
Guan Gu, who was standing at the side, saw such a " brutal " bidding scene. He was full of admiration for Su Mingyang. He wanted to see what his manga looked like. It must be very beautiful…
He had been drawing comics for a few years, and the highest remuneration he received was only about 10,000 Sakura Dollars per page. That was about 700 to 800 RMB, and that was on a outright basis!
He didn't even dare to think about exceeding 1,000.
