Chapter 9 Shangguan Xiaobao

"First, although there are problems with this and that, because your style is good, you can sign a contract. However, I can only pay 20 yuan per page for royalties. As for the future, if you happen to issue a single book, you can use 3% of each book as a share; as for the second one, you can take this comic to other comic companies and maybe they will give a better price."

Lin Shan actually sneered at the second choice. He was very confident in his own eyes, not to mention that the person in front of him was still a little devil, so he naturally had a big tone.

Zhao Chen took a deep breath and he would not choose the first choice because the reward was too low, even if he created it very quickly, the reward was simply not to regard himself as a human being, and it could indirectly insult the classic "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"! He naturally would not agree.

"Editor Lin, I'm so sorry. I'd rather choose the second one. I hope I'll see you again in the future!"

"Yeah!" Lin Shan nodded with his nose a little rudely, then ignored Zhao Chen, turned around and left, but felt even more disdainful in his heart: "Goodbye? That's impossible!"

Zhao Chen put the Fu Fu in the official document bag again, and the expression on his face was still neither humble nor arrogant, but he was angry at Lin Shan's disdain.

"Wait, you will definitely regret it!" Zhao Chen left Yulang International Co., Ltd. and looked at the company's building, and couldn't help but make up a decision!

However, when he was about to turn around and prepare to find the next animation company, a figure happened to pass by him, but because Zhao Chen suddenly turned around and avoided it, the two of them collided.

"Ouch!" Kuang Dongyuan fell to the ground with his butt. He was naturally in poor health, who had been overloading his comics all year round. This made him dizzy and almost fell off his glasses on his nose.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" Although Zhao Chen was thin, his physical fitness was quite good. This time, he just couldn't stand steadily. However, the briefcase in his hand was not firmly held on the ground for a while. When he saw the middle-aged uncle who had fallen to the ground by himself, he quickly helped him up.

"Young man, please be careful next time. Not everyone has the kind temper like me." Kuang Dongyuan touched his butt that was hurt, and then held his glasses for a while before saying that there was no point in blaming him.

Zhao Chen naturally responded to apologize, and then bent down and picked up the document bag from the ground.

"Young man, what are you doing here?" Kuang Dongyuan did not leave immediately, but instead looked curious.

"Of course I'm here to contribute!"

"Submission? Can you show me the article? Maybe I can give you some advice." Kuang Dongyuan looked at Zhao Chen, his eyes lit up. Seeing Zhao Chen's appearance, he seemed to see himself when he was young. He entered the industry at the age of 11 and has been working in this industry for more than 20 years. Therefore, he did not despise Zhao Chen like Lin Shan.

Zhao Chen glanced at the kind-hearted middle-aged uncle in front of him. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like a bad person, but rather a gentle intellectual. Moreover, seeing that Kuang Dongyuan was looking at Yulang International Co., Ltd., Zhao Chen guessed that he might often deal with comics, and he could ask him about the addresses of other comic companies later.

"Can!"

Kuang Dongyuan took the file bag and carefully took out the drawings inside. However, at first glance, he was attracted by the figures inside. An excited expression appeared on his face, as if he saw what he loved.

Page after page, when Kuang Dongyuan finished reading it, he couldn't help but feel unsatisfied, which made him look up at the boy in front of him. Although he was dressed in rags, he was really rare to be able to draw such good quality comics, and even he himself might not be able to draw better ones.

"This comic should have reached the top level. If you can't draw it later, it will reach a higher level! Young man, I wonder if you have designed an outline? If there is no outline and storyboard, your double protagonist's work will easily be drawn!" Kuang Dongyuan subconsciously dragged the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile, his eyes full of praise. This was the first time he saw such a talented young cartoonist, and it seemed that he was no worse than his apprentice Ma Rongcheng!

"Yes, but it's just a rough outline and storyboard. You can take a look!" Zhao Chen's eyes lit up. From Kuang Dongyuan's words, he was sure that the middle-aged uncle in front of him was a real expert, and that he could have such a pertinent evaluation. I think he didn't mean to discriminate against himself.

Zhao Chen actually knew the disadvantages of "The Legend of the Two Dragons in the Tang Dynasty", so he had prepared the outline and storyboards long ago. However, due to the haste, he did not prepare very detailedly, but that's the case, his outline exceeded 30,000 words! As for the storyboard, it was only drawn in the early stages. The reason why he was not shown to Lin Shan was mainly because he was very unhappy with Lin Shan's attitude and the conditions proposed. You should know that a responsible editor is very important to cartoonists, and he is related to his achievements.

Kuang Dongyuan's attitude won his respect. Even if he is not an expert, this appreciation attitude alone is enough to make Zhao Chen come up with the outline and storyboard.

He was not afraid that Kuang Dongyuan would plagiarize his works after reading the outline, because "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is a dual protagonist work. Even if he has read the outline, he will not remember much content unless he has the ability to remember everything after reading it.

Kuang Dongyuan took the two file bags, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help but look at the boy in front of him more carefully, and his heart's evaluation was even higher.

"So many! We can't stand here all the time, just go to that restaurant, I'll treat you!" Kuang Dongyuan weighed the outline with more than ten pages and the storyboard with more than hundreds of pages in his hand, and said.

Zhao Chen nodded, and he knew that it would take some time to read the outline and storyboard carefully. Moreover, he was hungry, so he was of course reluctant to treat someone, because he only had the travel expenses left on him.

The two walked into the restaurant. Although Zhao Chen was wearing something that was not much different from a beggar, due to his beautiful appearance and Kuang Dongyuan, the store had no discrimination. They hurriedly handed over the menu. To him, the customer was God!

"Young man, order whatever you want. Don't be polite to me!" After Kuang Dongyuan finished speaking, he took the lead in pulling out the outline and started to watch.

Although Zhao Chen would not be polite, he ordered a few side dishes very well, and he didn't order any of the more expensive ones. He was afraid of leaving a bad impression on the middle-aged uncle!

Kuang Dongyuan did not react, and still looked at the outline in front of him with concentration, nodding from time to time. When he saw the exciting part, he couldn't hide his praise on his face. He looked like a child, making Zhao Chen, who was sitting opposite him, not knowing what to do.

When the food was served, Kuang Dongyuan almost didn't even move, and was still invading the outline. He occasionally pondered for some thoughts and continued to read the storyboard after reading the outline. When he finished reading it all, the food was already cold.

Zhao Chen was so hungry that he didn't care about anything else, and kept chewing on the food.

"Young man, I'm so embarrassed! Your outline is written quite well and your writing is not bad. If you write a novel according to this outline, it might be a good novel! Of course, the comics are not bad. At least from my perspective for many years, as long as you draw a storyboard according to this outline, the possibility of writing a lot is much less!"

Zhao Chen nodded, feeling that the middle-aged uncle opposite him was really a wonderful person. His language might not be sharp enough, but his vision was quite unique.

"Young man, I wonder if your comic has been adopted by other comic companies?"

Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "No, I just found Yulang International Co., Ltd., and the royalties given by that editor-in-chief Lin are not suitable for your wishes! I was about to ask you about the addresses of other comic companies."
