Reborn, I will never be a licking dog

Chapter 53 Holding the thigh?
Around three o'clock, Ye Luojia sent a message to Xu Zhimu, asking him to go downstairs.

After getting dressed, Xu Zhimu walked out of the hotel and got into the red BMW under the complicated eyes of the front desk lady.

Ye Luojia took out a stack of documents and handed them to Xu Zhimu: "This is the drafting contract for the manga project. I have written all the requirements you asked before. Check to see if there are any omissions."

"Thank you."

Xu Zhimu took over. The contract was full of more than 20 pages, densely packed with words. The front part was filled with some normal contract procedures, and the real things about copyright and profit sharing were in the latter few pages.

First of all, as the copyright holder, Xu Zhimu enjoys [-]% of the total net profit, and the remaining [-]% is divided between the website and related departments.

This ratio is quite good. After all, manga is a complicated project, and the text work is only the most basic part of creating an IP.

When the car stopped, Xu Zhimu also read the contract.

It can be said that it was carried out in the direction he expected, and the common interests of both parties were guaranteed. The contract was very good. He raised his head and glanced at the cold female editor from the rearview mirror.

Although the words are a little less, the work is reliable enough.

It was the sunglasses that had been worn on her face all the time, covering half of her face, so Xu Zhimu couldn't tell how old she was.

"Qidian Media Group... really impressive."

Looking at the signboard on the building, Xu Zhimu praised him. He has no plans to become the richest man or a big entrepreneur in his life.

The money in your hand is enough to live on your own, and it is enough to realize the freedom of wealth. After all, earning money is for happiness.

The saddest thing in the world is that people die and the money is not spent.

Ye Luojia parked the car in the parking space in front of the company, which is usually set up by some leaders for convenience.

Why do web editors have such a high status in the company?
"You can directly bring up any problems with the contract in a while, and I will solve them for you on the spot." Although Ye Luojia's voice was calm, it naturally carried the domineering aura of a strong woman.

Entering the company, some employees will subconsciously tense up when they see Ye Luojia, and lower their heads slightly to avoid some distance.

The more Xu Zhimu looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. It stands to reason that the editor of web articles is not a particularly high-level management position in the company. Why does he feel that this editor is like a leader.

When the two walked away, the employees whispered: "Isn't that Director Ye? Who is the boy behind him? He looks like a college student."

"This is the first time I've seen Director Ye bring a boy into the company. He looks quite handsome. Could it be some distant relative?"

"Who knows, don't worry about you guys, if it gets out, you'll pack up and leave..."

……

In the conference room, a middle-aged man was already waiting. When he saw Ye Luojia, he stood up and stretched out his hand: "It's been a long time, Manager Ye."

Ye Luojia just nodded, ignored his outstretched hand, and sat directly at the main seat.

The man was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to get angry. After all, the other party was only an editorial director on the surface, but his real background was not something that a department head could afford.

"Xu Zhimu, this time I'm in charge of negotiating with you about the author of the manga. This is the person in charge of the manga department. If you have any questions, just make it clear today." Ye Luojia briefly introduced the two parties.

The man had noticed Xu Zhimu a long time ago, but the other party was too young, he seemed to be a senior in high school or a student who had just entered university.

I really didn't think about it in the direction of a best-selling urban writer.

"You are the author of "Three Years of Tolerating My Fiancee at the Beginning, My Dragon King Identity Has Been Exposed"?" The man was a little surprised. Although there is no age threshold for online writing, writing a book does not have certain social experience. It is difficult to write some essence.

Although this novel can only be regarded as an urban brainless novel, it is difficult to control some of the plots without real experience.

Of course, there is also a class of people that are geniuses.

"It's me, may I ask your surname?" Xu Zhimu stretched out his hand and took the other's hand that was still in the air.

"Miangui's surname is Zhang." A flash of appreciation flashed in the man's eyes. The young man just found a way out of the embarrassing atmosphere just now, so that he could step down with dignity. This is something that ordinary young people may not have such insight: "It's really a boy with a hero. We have discussed your work internally a long time ago, and it still has high IP creation value. I look forward to our future cooperation."

The two sides exchanged a few words of courtesy.

The man also took out a contract and began to explain the contents. Although both parties have read it, the process still needs to be followed.

It took a full hour for the man to turn to the last page of the contract, and then asked a little curiously: "You propose to recommend an artist here, may I ask if the artist you recommend has related works that you can check in advance, after all, the quality of illustrations It directly determines whether the manga can have higher commercial value, and I have to go back and give an explanation to the department.”

Generally speaking, after the author handed over the copyright, the manga department has almost all the power to adapt, after all, every line is like a mountain.

No matter how good your web writing is, you may not even be able to compare with an intern in the painting industry.

In the adaptation industry, generally, the original author is deliberately avoided to intervene, after all, commercial income is their ultimate goal.

but……

The man subconsciously glanced at the woman sitting in the main seat, who was holding a book and reading silently, but an invisible pressure was pressing on him.

After all, it was this guy who opened the mouth, and he must give the manga department the face of...

Mention this...

Xu Zhimu is confident in the painting skills of the elementary school sister, but it is really hard to say whether it can meet the market.

After thinking about it, Xu Zhimu said: "If the artist I recommend is not qualified for your work within a month, I will not intervene in any issues related to manga changes."

The man paused, a little embarrassed: "The manga project is already in the preparatory period, and a month is a bit long."

Xu Zhimu was silent for a moment and said: "I can sign a gambling contract with you. If the progress is delayed because of the artist's problem, I can give up [-]% of the dividend."

The man was surprised. According to his estimate, this project has at least 1000 million income, and the two percent is nearly 200 million.

Just to support a little-known new painter, the price is too high.

Ye Luojia also looked sideways, looking thoughtfully at Xu Zhimu's side face with his eyes under the sunglasses.

"I think you can think about it again, after all..."

"No, just tell me if it's okay."

The man looked at the contract and thought about it. At this time, Ye Luojia put down the book in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "That's the decision."

The man was taken aback, looking at the contract in his hand and wanted to say something, but he glanced at Ye Luojia's gaze looking at him.

Although he couldn't see his eyes, the man still swallowed nervously.

Immediately he got up and smiled and said: "It's okay, the rules are made by people, trust is the basis of cooperation, we can wait for a month, it can be regarded as the sincerity of our manga department..."

Seeing the flattering smile on the man's face, Xu Zhimu glanced at the expressionless Ye Luojia.

Could it be that I hugged my thigh?
　There won't be too many commercial plots, mainly to pave the way for the future, and the university chapter will start immediately (again)
