Chapter 122

While waiting for Shen Jie's answer, the production of "pet elf" goes on smoothly.

Then one night, Alice took teacher tomato and a man into Meng Huo's house.

"His name is Diao Wenlin. He is a reasoning writer."

Alice told Meng Huo that the man was about 30 years old, thin and yellow. Meng Huo judged from the foreign minister that he often stayed up late, and his family was not very good. But the clothes he was wearing were shabby, but they were ironed very neatly. Maybe there was a good wife behind him to support him.

"Hello."

Meng Huo reaches out his hand.

"Hello, Mr. He Xi."

The man had heard about Meng Huo's age on the road, so he barely kept his face. Bowing and shaking hands with Meng Huo in a restrained manner, he said, "I'm just a poor writer. Thank you for this opportunity."

He said the opportunity, of course, is a serial "Detective Conan" opportunity.

If Meng Huo wants to get rid of this cartoon, he needs to satisfy two factors. One is the cartoon, which can be taken over by teacher tomato. The second is the plot of the reasoning case. Mr. tomato won't think about these contents, so he can only find other people.

After greeting, Li Qin takes Diao Wenlin and tomato to sit down, while Alice takes the opportunity to tell Meng Huo about Diao Wenlin.

Diao Wenlin is a reasoning writer who writes articles, not a novelist. The reasoning market in China is not big, but there are a lot of writers, and many reasoning writers live miserably. Diao Wenlin's case is excellent, but he is not a novelist. He has never published a book before, but he has given advice to many novelists.

Novels and comics are all technical products, which can't be played well by people who think about stories.

Meng Huo understood this, and Alice helped him find a suitable person, but the specific level could not be judged by the data.

He sat down to chat with Diao Wenlin and examined his reasoning skills. As for the result, Alice didn't disappoint Meng Huo. Diao Wenlin is a meticulous thinker with all the characteristics of an inferential writer. He is also a fan of Detective Conan and knows something about comics.

"Yes, no problem."

After chatting for an hour, he asked Diao Wenlin to make up a case on the spot, and then talked about the process of solving the case. Meng Huo nodded with satisfaction: "let's discuss the payment."

This sentence, Diao Wenlin's expression immediately nervous up, and listen to the sleepy tomato teacher also played a spirit.

"The probation period is one month, 200 Chinese currency for each picture, monthly settlement. At the end of the probation period, you will take over my work, and you will be paid 1% of the royalty of the separate edition in the future. How about the remuneration? "

This is Meng Huo's arbitrary reward.

"200 Chinese dollars, 1% royalty!"

The seemingly small reward shocked the tomato teacher.

He remembers that the famous detective Conan was on sale two times before. Mr. He Xi could make 20 million yuan every time. His royalty was 10%, and 1% was 2 million yuan. If Mr. tomato and Diao Wenlin took over the job, they would sell at least five copies of the book a year and make 10 million yuan in five years! Five million per person!

This figure makes tomato teacher very happy. It makes more money than the cartoon he is serializing.

And Diao Wenlin has been excited to faint.

200 A picture of Chinese currency is about 20 per week, which is 4000 Chinese currency. Diao Wenlin can take 2000, and 8000 in a month. He has been a reasoner for so many years, and the cost is still out of reach for him.

"With this money, I have a stable job, so I don't have to go around and my wife won't suffer."

Diao Wenlin was so sad that he almost left tears.

He is a promising writer. His wife didn't enjoy a good day's life after she married him. This job, with a monthly salary of 8000, is enough to make their life change dramatically.

There is also a 1% royalty. Diao Wenlin once calculated the market value of Detective Conan. He knows what the concept of 1% is.

"I can buy a house in Ninghai. I can buy it in a year, and I still pay in full!"

Diao Wenlin seems to see a new future. Instead of renting everywhere, he and his wife can buy a suite of their own, and their children will not be looked down upon at school.

Diao Wenlin and tomato teacher looked at each other and saw surprise from each other's eyes.

"Yes, yes, we promise!"

They nodded to Meng Huo, flushed and excited.Meng Huo was a little uncomfortable by their eyes. In fact, the most cost-effective reward was him. He took 400 Chinese dollars for each picture, twice as much as tomato and Diao Wenlin. And then the royalty is 9 times, more than 100 million... The workload is very small, the rest of the time to draw other comics, the benefit will not be worse than "Detective Conan".

But even if Diao Wenlin and teacher tomato knew it, they would not care about it. The famous detective Conan is a cartoon created by Meng Huo, and they can only keep thanking each other.

"Thank you, teacher He Xi."

"I will try, I will try!"

Two men in their 30s are very excited. Diao Wenlin has decided to buy a cake to celebrate with his wife on his way home. He knew that the model of "Detective Conan" could continue to be written. There was no problem in 10 or 20 years. He had a serious job, which was more stable than other jobs.

This is really cool, teacher He Xi is his rebirth parents!

Diao Wenlin kept thanking him. When he left, he cried and walked into the elevator like a child.

Alice was relieved when tomato and Diao Wenlin left.

"Well, Meng Huo, it's settled." She said to Meng Huo, "where do you want to put the studio? It seems that your home is a bit crowded..."

"It's OK. One more table in the study."

Meng Huo smiles. Now he has three assistants, and the family can still bear them. If there is one more person, he will have to consider changing places. It's inconvenient to rent a studio outside, and he doesn't want to hand in the comics right away.

Without a period of transition and guidance, Diao Wenlin can not adapt to the style of Detective Conan.

"OK, I'll buy you some equipment." Alice wrote it down in her notebook and then asked, "would you like to announce it in a magazine tonight?"

Meng Huo frowned slightly.

This matter will bring certain influence if it is told, but if it is not told, it will not be concealed in the future.

Meng Huo can't just write a few comics. He will hire a lot of people to help in the future. This model is a bit like a studio, but it's necessary, or you won't be able to draw a few comics in your life

However, people's energy is limited, he wants to hide, with the increase in the number of comics, readers can not be aware that he has other people to help things.

Meng Huo analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the present announcement and the future announcement.

"Now announce it."

He made a decision. Although it will have an impact, what he said now has less impact than what he said later.

"No problem." Alice agreed. She didn't worry much. Professional cartoonists usually have assistants. Diao Wenlin is also He Xi's assistant. The main line of the story is still in He Xi's hands. That's no problem.

(thanks to zmcyhh, prosperous I, for your reward!)
