Higashino Koichi was very afraid!
Because of Oda Ichiro, this manga master in front of him might not want to sign a contract with him. That fellow, Oda Ichiro, would not be able to atone for his sins even if he died a hundred times…
Higashino Koichi wanted nothing more than to rush up and kill this scum of the comics world!
He hated it. He was originally confident that Lin Yu would definitely sign with him, but now that Oda Ichiro had caused trouble, this matter was a little difficult to handle...
Lin Yu could see the anxiety on Hiroichi Higashino's face. He smiled but did not say anything.
"Mr. Higashino, let's get straight to the point. I really want to cooperate with your club.”
Lin Yu's words made Higashino Koichi heave a sigh of relief. He glanced at Oda Ichiro, who was standing beside him, and a thought immediately formed in his mind.
" I will never doubt your country's comics industry because of Oda-kun, and I will never distrust the magazine. I just want to hear Mr. Higashino's opinion..."
After saying that, Lin Yu placed the contents of the first ten volumes of Fire Nation Ninja in front of Dongye Koichi.
"Mr. Higashino, are you in a hurry to leave?”Lin Yu suddenly said.
"Uh-"
Dong Ye was stunned. He really didn't know what the young man in front of him meant by asking this question.
Lin Yu took out a few comics from a folder that he carried with him when he saw that Higashino Koichi was confused.
"These are some of my previous works. Please take a look, Mr. Dongye.”
On the cover of the manga, there were the words " Pirate King,"" Death," and " Slam Dunk "!
"Oh?"
Higashino Koichi's interest was immediately piqued. This guy actually had other works. He had to think about it carefully.
"Mr. Higashino, don't be in a hurry to think about it. Let's finish reading these books first, and then we'll talk about the remuneration.”
Lin Yu's confident look surprised Dongye Koichi.
This young fellow was actually so confident. Could it be that these comics were of a high standard? With such doubts, Higashino Koichi picked up the first volume of Pirate King.
"Hmm? The style has changed!"
At first glance, Dongye was stunned. One had to know that a mangaka's style was the same. No one liked to change their style. He did not expect the style of the Pirate King manga to change so much.
"I am a person who seeks change. I started learning manga when I was seven years old. Some of the manga were completed under my father's guidance. The storyline and lines were all organized by my father.”Lin Yu lied casually. Since his parents were no longer around, there was no way to verify any information about his father.
"Si Gao is very good at Japanese, but Lin Yujun started learning manga at the age of seven.”Guan Wu was shocked.
Even Higashino Koichi couldn't believe it.
However, his eyes were all focused on the first volume of Pirate King.
"Amazing, really amazing…Lin Yujun's talent in manga is something I've never seen before.”
After Dong Ye finished reading the first volume, he was completely stunned.
Pirate King was undoubtedly a high-quality comic. It was almost on par with Fire Nation's Ninja. Dongye Koichi had never thought that the guy opposite him would be so powerful.
Normally, a mangaka would only have one famous manga in their lifetime. There were very few books that were as well-known as Tokuyoshi Yoshihiro's. However, Higashino could tell from the Pirate King and Ninja Fire that both books were on fire.
"Mr. Higashino, you should go back to the hotel and stay for a while. After reading these comics, we can discuss the exclusive contract. I'm afraid that the price I offered is too high and you'll turn around and leave.”
"Yes, sorry for the trouble!"
Higashino Koichi also saw the ambition on Lin Yu's face. He knew that all outstanding manga artists were extremely arrogant. Usually, it was very difficult to change the fixed remuneration.
"I wonder if Lin Yujun has any requirements for the remuneration and contract. I can also discuss it with the Japanese society. I came in a hurry this time, so I only brought a newbie's exclusive contract…"
"Your company calculated the remuneration for the serials by page, right? "There's also the copyright tax for a single book. The minimum is 5%..." Lin Yu seemed very professional. After all, he had done some research on the weekly magazine in his previous life. Most manga artists would sign contracts according to page by page.
The author of Pirate King, Oda Eichiro, had initially signed a contract for 50,000 yen per page. Later on, Pirate King became popular, and the remuneration also rose.
An average mangaka could draw about 18 pages per week, and Oda earned about 3.6 million yen per month for his manuscripts, which was more than 200,000 Yanxia dollars.
Of course, Lin Yu was considered a tentacle monster. The madman who wrote 180 pages in a day was not in this category.
As for the copyright tax for a single book, Oda was said to be 10%, which was considered relatively high. As for the copyrights to the manga, movies, and animations, they were astronomical figures.
In his previous life, someone had calculated Oda Eichiro's income. Just his personal income tax alone had basically exceeded 100 million yen.
In other words, his annual income was around ten million Yanxia dollars. Of course, this was only a conservative estimate…but it was already an astronomical figure.
However, this wasn't targeted at newcomers.
Not everyone could become a great mangaka like Oda.
Newcomers at the weekly magazine were treated worse. Not to mention the price for a page of the manuscript, it was almost 1W2 yen. Even the copyright tax was only 5%, not to mention the peripheral and various copyright shares.
Of course, Lin Yu could not sign this exclusive contract.
His ambition was to become the highest manga master. Therefore, in order to increase his bargaining chip, he had pushed out Pirate King, Death, and Slam Dunk.
He had drawn this a few days ago.
When Hiroshi Higashino heard Lin Yu's words, his face immediately revealed a shocked expression. He was stunned for a moment before he said," I didn't expect Lin Yujun to know so much about our club's newcomer contract…"
"Our Yan Xia has a famous saying,'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. To Mr. Higashino…Oh, right, this old saying comes from Sun Tzu's Art of War. Mr. Higashino should have heard of it.”
"I hope there will be good news tomorrow. Goodbye, Mr. Higashino.”
Lin Yu smiled and greeted Hiroshi Higashino politely. Then, he got up and called Guan Wu and the others. He didn't even look at Oda Ichiro on the ground as he walked out of the restaurant.
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never lose a hundred battles. Interesting, interesting young man!”
Higashino Koichi smiled as he watched Lin Yu's back disappear from his sight.
This was the first time in his life that he had met such an interesting young man. He was indeed a genius, a genius of manga artists…The magazine agency would obviously not let go of such a genius.
