It will be on the shelves next month, so there is no rush to get it. "

Both Dengeki Bunko and Shueisha have official accounts on Twitter. Whenever a new booklet is released, or when a work starts a new project, the author of the work will be pulled together while promoting it.

That is, @Author.

Using official accounts to help authors gain fans in social software is also one of the means of IP development.

Of course, there are exceptions. There was once an author who relied on his own Twitter account to help the official account of the library to which he belonged increase a lot of attention.

"In this case, can you send me your Twitter account first? I will let the people on the operation side follow you in advance."

"Okay, no problem, I'll text you later. Anything else?"

"Of course, the manuscript of Chapter 2 of "The Chainsaw Man" is about to be printed. The manuscript fee will be credited to your bank card, Mr. Izumi, within 7 working days. Please remember to check it then."

As soon as the manuscript fee was mentioned, Hequan Qinhai became energetic.

For novel authors and cartoonists, when is the happiest time of the month?

- When the publication fee.

"Then there is one more thing, Mr. Izumi. Because your results in the first serialization were too good and impressive, the editorial department specially held a morning meeting in advance this morning to discuss matters related to "Chain Saw Man". Before that,

Congratulations, the publication plan of the booklet has been fully finalized.When your serialized manga reaches the content of a volume, you can start preparing for the publication of a single volume. "

"Is it possible to publish a booklet?! Good! Thank you, Asuka, for editing!"

"Where, this is all due to you, Mr. Izumi."

"The Chainsaw Man" was able to be published as a single volume, successfully taking the second step on the road to a professional cartoonist.By the time the booklet hits the shelves, the manga's revenue will start to increase.

When serializing on "Weekly Shonen Jump", the manuscript fee received each time is the original manuscript fee for each chapter, and at most it will add some bonuses.But when the booklet is on the shelves, the income is the manuscript fee + booklet share,

These two kinds of income are added together to form each manuscript fee.

Of course, the time for paying the manuscript fee will also change. When serializing on "Weekly Shonen Jump", the editor receives the manuscript of each chapter. After passing the review and starting to print, the manuscript fee will be paid within 7 working days. diffuse

on the painter's bank card.

After the booklet is published, the payment method of the manuscript fee will become once a month.

The increase in income from comics is of course something to be happy about. Both Quan Qinhai and Quan Qinhai wanted to buy a firework and set it off to celebrate.

In addition to being happy and excited, Izumi Kotokai did not forget to express his gratitude to Asuka Chizuru, although the other party would definitely express humility.But in the end, I want to say something to explain my attitude.

After all, the author and editor are in a cooperative relationship, and each editor needs to be responsible for many authors. If she gets along well with editor Asuka, then she can always get corresponding convenience in some things.compared to other authors

, there will be some advantages.

Even if the advantage is not great, it is a good thing to have a good relationship with a work partner.

Learning to say thank you, learning to be friendly with others, and knowing that there are multiple friends and multiple paths is a seemingly easy, but actually difficult thing.

"Qin Hai, I bought sanitary napkins for you!"

At this moment, Kato Megumi opened the door, and as soon as he entered, he saw Izumi Kotokai on the phone.On the other end of the phone, there seems to be a woman she doesn't know?

Chapter 298 Asuka Chizuru's Request

After seeing Megumi Kato come back, Hequan Qinhai put his finger on his lips, implying that she should not speak yet.

Although Kato Megumi wanted to "prank" Qin Hai secretly when she was on the phone, it was only limited to her daily unimportant phone calls.

Kato Hui could see that Qin Hai was talking about something serious with the woman on the other end of the phone, so naturally he would not choose to play a prank on her at such a time.

An occasional prank between lovers can increase the mood, just like smooth oil in life.But if the frequency is too much, it may be counterproductive.

Between lovers, we must learn to get along with understanding.You can't play tricks on her just because she likes you.

If they have children in the future, Kato Megumi intends to teach this truth to their children.

He took out a packing box and a bag of pants-shaped sanitary napkins from the shopping bag, put them on the bed, and motioned to Qin Hai silently.

After Qin Hai saw it, she made an OK gesture, and then continued to chat with Asuka Chizuru.

"I have already understood the matter of the separate volume, and I will try my best to update it more, and strive to complete the content of the volume 1 volume as soon as possible." Hequan Qinhai said.

"Mr. Hequanshu's current delivery speed is quite reassuring. I hope it can continue to be maintained. There is one last thing. Regarding the follow-up plot of "The Chainsaw Man", do you have a general idea, Mr. Hequanshu?"

"Is there any general idea for the follow-up plot?"

"To be precise, is there an outline for "The Chainsaw Man"? Although only two chapters have been updated now, in order to ensure the stability of the plot and avoid the phenomenon of lack of inspiration and failure to draw the original manuscript, I suggest Mr. Izumi

It is better to prepare an outline.If yes, can you send me a copy?As an editor, you also need to grasp the development of the subsequent plot in advance. "

At Shueisha, some editors did master the cartoonist's outline in advance, in order to be able to know the follow-up plot in advance, so as to help the cartoonist grasp the progress.

After all, some cartoonists obviously draw well at the beginning, but often halfway through the drawing, they start to let themselves go in the plot for various reasons.

The original excellent reputation plummeted in an instant.

It is not easy to accumulate a good reputation as a cartoonist. It needs to be accumulated little by little.

But it is very easy to ruin the reputation of a cartoonist.

In order to minimize the occurrence of such situations, the editors of Shueisha are used to asking the manga artist if he has an outline before a potential work is serialized in the early stage?

In this way, we can know the plot in advance, and avoid the situation where the cartoonist suddenly releases himself while drawing.

Especially the finale. For example, if a manga is to end in June, the editor in charge must know the finale in advance in February at the latest.

It doesn't matter if it's an excellent ending or an ordinary ending, the editor in charge needs to help the author as much as possible, and don't create a garbage ending.

For an excellent comic, no matter how well-known the previous plot is, once the ending is rubbish, the evaluation will naturally show a precipitous drop.

At that time, the serialized new works will also be affected to a certain extent.

Therefore, before the cartoonist creates the ending of a comic, as the responsible editor, he will remind him not to let the ending become rubbish even if he only creates a mediocre ending.

However, there are also some cartoonists who don't like to disclose the outline to others in advance, even if the other party is the editor.

With this in mind, Asuka Chizuru added:

"Of course, Mr. Izumi, if you don't want to send me the outline, it's fine. It's just that I've been an editor in these years, and I've seen many manga that are excellent in the early stage and mid-stage, but failed miserably in the late stage and ending.

0

Even if I put aside my editorial status, purely from the reader's point of view, I like the comic "Chain Saw Man" very much, and I hope that the plot will be excellent until the end. "

After listening to Asuka Chizuru's explanation, Izumi Kotokai can also understand her feelings. When reading novels, manga and anime, he hates those unfinished works the most.

Long before drawing the first chapter, she had already thought up the entire plot of "The Chainsaw Man", and the rest was to optimize some details.

Thinking of this, Hequan Qinhai snorted triumphantly and said:

"I hate unfinished works the most, so before creating a work, I am used to conceiving the entire plot in a complete way. "Chain Saw Man" is like this. Before I started drawing the original manuscript of Chapter 1, I already

After thinking about all the plots, I naturally wrote an outline. "

Many cartoonists do not prepare an outline, and some cartoonists who prepare an outline rarely take the time to prepare a complete outline.Often I only write the outline in the early stage, thinking about free play in the later stage.

Therefore, before knowing that Izumi Kotokai started drawing the first chapter, he had already prepared the outline, and it was still complete.Asuka Chizuru was very surprised, at least none of the cartoonists she was in charge of was like Qin Hai

Such.

In addition to being surprised, I am more happy. After all, preparing a complete outline in advance means that there is no need to worry too much about the follow-up plot development of "Chain Saw Man".

"Mr. Hequanshu really likes to surprise people. It's better to say that you are a person who is good at bringing surprises."

"Haha, I take this sentence as a compliment."

"So, Teacher Izumi, could you please send me a copy of the outline?

As the editor in charge, I want to know whether the plot development of "Chain Saw Man" is stable.As a reader, I also want to know the follow-up plot in advance.

Alas~ After reading the original manuscript of Chapter 2, I still feel that there is still more to say.I even thought in my heart, when will Mr. Izumishu be able to change daily? "

Asuka Chizuru asked.

"If you want to change the day, please forgive me. Even if you give me another pair of hands, I can't draw it!"

Hequan Qinhai surrendered instantly.

It is normal for the responsible editor to want to see the outline in advance, rather it is included in the cooperation process.

However, even if it was a matter of course, I still asked for her opinion. Asuka Chizuru's approach made Izumi Kotokai feel very satisfied and respected.

Should I say that the other party is worthy of being a member of society?

Respect is mutual, since she wants to see it, she is willing to give it.

"If you give the outline, of course you can, but please keep it secret. Only you and I can see the outline of "Chain Saw Man". Confidentiality level: super high school-level top secret!"

Halfway through the speech, Hequan Qinhai pretended to be deep, and quietly reminded him.

"Of course, this is my exclusive "privilege". Even if others spend money to read the outline, I will not give it to them." Asuka Chizuru also joked.

"Hey hey hey, if someone really wants to spend money to watch it in advance, as long as the price is high, it's not impossible~ Well, the price of watching the outline in advance should start at 1000 million yen!"

"I think [-] million yen is enough." Asuka Chizuru said half-jokingly.

After finishing speaking, the two laughed.

"As for the outline, because the desktop computer I usually use to draw manga and save the outline is broken, I have been using a laptop as a substitute recently. After the computer is repaired, I will send the outline to Asuka to edit you."

Hequan Qinhai told a little lie. Although she did think about the whole plot in advance before drawing the original manuscript, she never wrote an outline because of laziness.I was too embarrassed to confess, so I made up a "main computer" bad

A lie.

The desktop computer I have been using is not only not broken, Qin Hai is also planning to buy two more memory sticks in a while.Upgrade the already awesome performance to even more awesome.

Regarding Qin Hai's explanation, Asuka Chizuru had no doubts and believed it directly.

"Okay, it's okay, it's okay to send it to me after your computer is repaired."

"Yeah, okay, I'll fix it as soon as possible. Editor Asuka, if there's nothing else, I'll just hang up. I haven't had breakfast yet."

"Ah, sorry, I didn't know you hadn't had breakfast. I'll leave it alone then. Goodbye."
