: Contract Re-signing

After the noon class ended, Su Jie pushed his bicycle out and headed for the headquarters of “Weekly Shonen Jump” in Tokyo.

This time, Su Jie asked for leave, so it was easy to talk about it. In the end, Su Jie asked Zhenhui and Shizuka Hiratsuka to explain the situation on the phone, which convinced Shizuka Hiratsuka and agreed to Su Jie’s request for leave.

There was plenty of time, and the winter sun was not too harsh. Su Jie rode his bicycle slowly and arrived at the destination at two o’clock in the afternoon.

The headquarters building of “Weekly Shonen Jump” is not grand, at least in Tokyo where there are many tall buildings.

However, this big summer building represents the number one position in the ACG comics world.

After parking the bicycle, Su Jie walked towards the headquarters building. There were already several editors waiting at the door, including Su Jie’s editor-in-charge, Editor Zhenhui.

“Teacher Su!” Marie Hui waved his hand to say hello. In Japan, well-known manga artists are generally called teachers, which is equivalent to Mr. Su Jie now has this qualification.

When the other editors saw Su Jie leisurely riding a bicycle, and Su Jie’s childish face, they couldn’t help but take a few more glances. It wasn’t the voice of Zhenhui, and they couldn’t believe that Su Jie was the author of One Punch Man. And came here on a bicycle.

Only Makoto knew what was going on. Just now, she called Hiratsuka Shizuka and found out that Su Jie came here on leave.

Su Jie has never been here at the headquarters, so the staff at the headquarters don’t know much about Su Jie. In their opinion, to be able to create such an excellent and popular work as One Punch Man, they must be an adult, someone in their twenties or thirties age.

But Su Jie obviously broke their usual impression of cartoonists, young, energetic, and talented! Under the double standard of One Punch Man and Su Jie’s age, this is the biggest feeling Su Jie gave them.

“Teacher Su, you are welcome to visit our headquarters.”

A middle-aged man who was over fifty years old, with a little gray hair, but was dyed jet black, a mustache on his chin, and a serious face in a formal suit, walked over and looked formally at Su Jie. outstretched palm.

“็ Hello Who are you?”

Su Jie had some doubts, and Zhenhui next to him explained: “This is the editor-in-chief of our company, editor-in-chief Shang Shang, who has worked in “Weekly Shonen Jump” for more than 30 years.”

Su Jie was a little surprised because he had a big background. He didn’t expect that the editor-in-chief, He Shangshang, would come out to greet him in person.

“Just call me Heshang!” Although Heshangshang looked serious, he was very kind when he spoke.

Su Jie’s eyes were a little strange. Didn’t He Shang become a monk?

“Hehe, it’s okay, let’s call it that, anyway, I’m used to it.” He Shangshang said grandly.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries here for a while, and then entered the headquarters building.

In a reception room, Su Jie and He Shangshang were sitting opposite each other, and several editor-in-chiefs were sitting nearby, and Zhenhui was the only editor-in-chief present, and also the one with the smallest position.

A cup of fragrant tea was placed on the table. Su Jie picked it up and took a sip. He didn’t speak in a hurry, and said some polite words to He Shangshang.

After five minutes, He Shangshang, who thought Su Jie was young and thought Su Jie would be impatient, was a little surprised, and said first: “This time, I invite Teacher Su to come here. I think Teacher Su already understands something. We need to sign a new contract.” contract, and conduct an online promotional event by the way.”

Zhenhui has already told Su Jie about these things. Now the main thing is that the specific details still need to be negotiated. After all, things related to the contract must be cautious.

“Well, I’ve already heard from editor Mae Hui about this. As for the contract, it used to be 10,000 yen per page. What price can you increase now?”

Su Jie nodded, put down the teacup and said.

Previously, Su Jie serialized One Punch Man in “Weekly Shonen Jump”, which was based on a newcomer’s new work.The price is signed, which is relatively low for the cartoonists created by “Weekly Shonen Jump”.

There are 15 pages of episodes every Monday. Last month, Su Jie serialized four episodes with a total of 60 pages. The 600,000 yen has been sent to Su Jie’s bank card, which is about 35,000 to 6,000 RMB, and 30,000 RMB after tax deduction above.

“The price we renegotiated is 23,000 yen per page, which is our reference price.”

He Shangshang took out a data form, which recorded the performance of One Punch Man this month, including the positive rate, approval rate, number of readers, and even the sales rate of the “Weekly Shonen Jump” magazine. He Shangshang’s words were targeted, not a price that was just given out of his mouth.

Su Jie took the forms and looked at them one by one. This price is already close to the current prices of several mainstay manga artists of “Weekly Shonen Jump”. It’s just because Su Jie’s debut is too young and too short, and it doesn’t exceed their prices. The price of these pillar cartoonists is basically 30,000 yen per page.

And this price is actually very high compared to the salaries of cartoonists that Su Jie knew in the previous life. For those real top cartoonists in the previous life, it is not a problem to get a salary of 50,000 yen per page, but this price can Very few people got it, only a few who stood at the pinnacle of the comics world.

“Okay, let’s just use this price.” Su Jie didn’t get too entangled in the price figure, and readily agreed.

In the current world where ACG has just developed, this price is very high for cartoonists. It is not enough to think about the achievements of One Punch Man, and it will be on the cover of magazines soon, and it will be clear.

Su Jie was able to let “Weekly Shonen Jump” take the initiative to raise the price within a month of his debut, which is a proof of his own strength, and for Kawakami and the others, being able to use the price to retain a manga genius and let Su Jie write manga If you continue to choose to serialize in “Weekly Shonen Jump”, then the price increase this time is worth the money, or it is worth the money.

Of course, the main reason why Su Jie didn’t get too entangled in this price is that Su Jie has a high vision now.

Compared with the copyright tax of the booklet released two months later, this amount of money is nothing but drizzle. With the current popularity of One Punch Man, it can be predicted that the sales of the booklet will not be bad. The copyright tax that Su Jie got at that time, It is estimated that it will take 100 million yuan to make the unit. Compared with this salary, Su Jie doesn’t like it.

“I really hope that we can have more young heroes like Mr. Su so that our “Weekly Shonen Jump” can develop faster.” The two parties re-signed the contract. After the matter was over, He Shangshang looked at Su Jie’s young face and said with emotion.

“If I remember correctly, Mr. Su is only seventeen years old this year. In another ten years, I am afraid that Mr. Su’s achievements will be even more dazzling. I hope that I can sign a contract with you at that time, but I guess there will be no such opportunity. Hey, I’m getting old.”

“The editor-in-chief on the river is still young and strong, so why bother to say such depressing words.” Su Jie continued, but he said in his heart, the old fox played the emotional card again, if I agree now, wouldn’t it be that I will work for you for ten years, although it is only verbal It doesn’t count, but Su Jie will not let go of such uncertain things.

Su Jie’s ideal life is to make himself an introduction to the ACG industry. After Japan’s ACG industry develops and prospers, he quits all jobs and stays at home, enjoying novels, games, comics, etc. created by a famous author. Animation and other works are living a life in an abandoned house, so it is not impossible to find a manga that suits your appetite now
