Chapter 37 Original Price
If it is a work, it can be ranked in the top five on the popularity questionnaire of "The Kingdom of War" and it will undoubtedly be a popular phenomenal work. It is natural to sell well around the world, animation adaptation, TV drama adaptation, or even making it into a movie!
The so-called super IP is about such a work!
After all, "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" is the largest comic magazine in Greater China, and the competition for the works on it is too fierce!
If you compare the Japanese "Young Jump" in the world of Ai's Immortal, then the top five means competing with phenomenal works such as "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", "Yu Yu Shishi", "One Piece", "Naruto", and "Death"! However, these works were not serialized at the same time. The first three were from the last century, and the Death Sea took over. Later, "Death", which has always been very popular, has already become the top 15 after the collapse of the collapse...
Now, "The Kingdom of War" also has three pillar-level works, namely "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by Teacher Ke Yongqun, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by Teacher Zheng Yin, and "The Crescent Moon of the Ancient City" by Teacher Lin Daolu.
Among them, Teacher Ke Yongqun's "Xiaying" has been painted for a full ten years, and it is still full of momentum and has a huge reader and fan base. Its animation has been played for nearly 500 episodes. The TV series is also sold well, making countless actors famous. Eight movies of theatrical animation have also been released, winning countless box offices, and three live-action movies have also been released, which is still very popular! In order to play a role in "Xiaying", countless well-known actors have snatched their heads!
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that "Xiaying" by Teacher Ke Yongqun is a national-level comic for the entire Greater China. With this comic, he earned at least more than 500 million...
The so-called comic that lasts a lifetime is about Teacher Ke Yongqun's "Xiaying". He must continue to draw it, otherwise many companies that rely on "Xiaying" will be very hurt!
The other two pillar-level works cannot compete with "Xiaying", but they have also been serialized for five years, and their average reader survey ranking has not fallen out of the top five!
In addition to these three works, the works of other first-line cartoonists should not be underestimated.
It is this huge competitive pressure that makes Ding Hebei feel that this teacher Yi An is talking nonsense again, and the top five, pure new cartoonists, shouldn’t have such dreams.
Not to mention that Teacher Yi An actually said something like "If you can't get the top five, don't draw martial arts comics." You have such a high talent in drawing martial arts comics. After being tempered, you can definitely become a god. Is it okay to be patient?
If you don’t draw martial arts, what should you draw?
If An Yi knew that Ding Hebei thought this way, she would definitely tell her that she could paint fairy tales, fantasy, detectives, etc., why should she hang herself on the big tree of martial arts?
And if even a work like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can't become popular, she really feels there is no need to draw martial arts types.
At this time, An Li really couldn't stand it anymore. He felt that his sister was too arrogant in the field of painting. Although he liked her painting style very much, this extremely arrogant expression would offend people.
Fortunately, my sister is still young and has a halo of "super genius", so she should be more tolerant.
Next, An Li talked directly with these two editors. The final "privilege betting agreement" was still set in the "top ten". They both directly ignored An Yi's previous "nonsense".
Only An Yi is serious.
Regarding the issue of manuscript fees, An Li had already carefully understood it before this. The manuscript fee for a pure new cartoonist is 300 yuan per piece, but this price is definitely low for a super genius like An Yi who won the gold and silver awards of "updated stars" at the age of fifteen.
Although the original manuscript fee of top cartoonists such as Ke Yongqun has long been no longer his income, it still has a price of 6,000 yuan per piece, which is twice as high as Eiichiro Oda, the author of "One Piece" in Yida!
For first-line cartoonists, the price of their original manuscripts is also three to four thousand.
How can you be considered a first-line cartoonist? At least you have to be stable in the top ten in popularity surveys. They are also qualified to judge awards such as the "Upstart" Newcomer Award.
Second-tier cartoonists are authors who can keep the serialization on "The Kingdom of War" and are ranked 10 to 15 in popularity surveys. Their original manuscript fee is about 1,000 yuan.
Of course, these so-called "second-tier cartoonists" are only considered second-tier in "The Kingdom of Martial Arts", but among the entire group of cartoonists, they can be considered upper-level cartoonists. This can keep the serialization in the extremely competitive "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" and are already qualified to participate in the annual meeting of "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" every year. What does this mean?
Like Mr. Nie Shenjian and Mr. Hu Hong were such a "second-tier cartoonist". However, Mr. Nie Shenjian was a big shot in the supplementary issue "Wuzhi Village". He is already qualified to start a new serial in the official issue. Calculate the time and may become An Yi's opponent.
"The Kingdom of Martial Arts" has a more expensive manuscript fee. Other magazines only cost 300 yuan per picture, and "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" is directly sold for 600 yuan per picture. So Ji Hongfei had previously said with great confidence that the manuscript fee is not a problem at all. Which comic magazine can compare the manuscript fee with "The Kingdom of Martial Arts"?
In the end, An Yi's original manuscript price was set at 1,500 yuan per piece, which was definitely the price of the upper-level cartoonists, which had exceeded the two "second-tier cartoonists" Nie Shenjian and Hu Hong. It can be seen that no matter how willful An Yi was before, Editor-in-Chief Ji Hongfei still tolerated the genius he liked and offered a price that An Li thought was too high. Even if other magazines came to poach people, it would not be possible to open it so high.
Ji Hongfei will definitely have a price to offer such a price. The editor-in-chief of "The Kingdom of Martial Arts" is not so easy to sit. Not only the four editors below, but also the editor-in-chief of other comic magazines of China Culture Media Group are all staring at this throne. This is the editor-in-chief of the comic magazine with the largest circulation in the industry. Which editor doesn't want to sit there?
If An Yi cannot achieve results, Ji Hongfei will definitely be in trouble. But if An Yi becomes popular, then his position as editor-in-chief for just one year will definitely be more stable, and he will have more hope to join the higher-level leadership of the entire media group in the future!
When Ji Hongfei and Ding Hebei left, Ding Hebei said with some concern: "Editor Ji, the price you bought is too high, right?"
"It will be higher in the future." Ji Hongfei still smiled. He was more rational than Ding Hebei, and he didn't even care about An Yi's arrogance at all.
Genius should be more arrogant!
