106 Formidable Enemies
On the last day of November, Qin Han gave Hashimoto Nanamo a holiday. Early in the morning, he went to Nakanosaka Station and took the Marunouchi subway line to the editorial department of the Shirazumi Club.
He wants to discuss many matters about the single version of "Dragon Sakura".
Previously, the editor-in-chief Xiong Zexin said, "Teacher Qin Han, you are so busy with work, we can come to discuss with you without having to run that far." However, Qin Han still rejected the other party's kindness.
Although I have beautiful assistants around me every day, my childhood sweetheart and Yamei’s sister next door often come to visit me. The days of the Qin and Han dynasties are not boring, but staying at home and not going out for a walk will make you moldy.
The tram was still very crowded in the morning, but there was no incident of perverts again.
After taking Shisanzhan Road, getting off at Awajimachi Station, walking for a while, finally arrived at the building of Shirazumi Club.
"Hello, I'm going to the editorial department of "young_animal"." Qin Han came to the front desk.
The round-faced and very cute front desk lady said, "Hello, please fill in the visitor card first."
Handing the visitor card to Qin Han, the front desk lady picked up the phone to notify the editorial department of "young_animal". However, while she was holding the microphone, she also secretly glanced at Qin Han from time to time, her eyes shining, as if she had seen a treasure.
Since the halo of charm was turned on, Qin Han has become accustomed to such things.
After completing the procedures, Qin Han took the elevator to the editorial department of "young_animal".
Two editors who were drinking coffee in the corridor chatting and resting, when they saw Qin Han walking out of the elevator, they immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Teacher Qin Han, good morning!"
When I walked into the editorial department, whenever I saw the editors of Qin and Han, I would say hello to him.
"Teacher Qin Han, it's been a long time since the last celebration."
"I wish you a big sale in your single book!"
"The Dragon Sakura is getting more and more exciting. Every day, the editorial department receives many letters from readers who praise this comic."
The reason why the Qin and Han dynasties had such a treatment that was full of stars was that in addition to the overwhelming popularity of "Dragon Sakura" and "The Growth of a Mermaid", he had become the chief cartoonist of Baiquan Society. The most important reason was that the birth of two new popular comics, "Legend of Sword Wind" and "Diary of the Growth of a Couple", was related to him.
It can be said that in the eyes of Baiquan Society, Qin Han is no longer a simple cartoonist, but a leader who can lead the rise of a magazine.
After a while, Kumaze-sein, who was wearing a wrinkled sweatshirt and messy hair, ran over.
"Teacher Qin Han, I'm sorry, I'm sleeping in a daze. I'll let you wait for a long time. Please follow me to the conference room."
Qin Han looked up and down at his editor and said strangely: "Little Bear, why are you so sloppy? Didn't you go home and spend the night with the magazine?"
It is absolutely incredible for Japanese women, especially office workers, to appear in the workplace without makeup.
You know, this is the birthplace of makeup techniques, one of the three major evil techniques in East Asia!
Xiong Zexin said embarrassedly: "I've been too busy lately and I have almost nothing to do and have time to go home."
"It's for a single book, thank you for your hard work."
Whether a comic can be sold well is not only whether the content is interesting and exciting, but also the promotion and distribution are also the key. Behind each best-selling comic, there are a group of editors who work silently.
After a while, editor-in-chief Hotan arrived.
"Sorry, Shinjuku was very stuck in the morning and was a little late." Editor-in-chief Hotan said while wiping his sweat.
"It's okay." Qin Han said, then looked at Xiong Zexin again, "Little Bear, go back and have some rest. It's enough to have editor-in-chief Hotan discuss with me."
"well?"
Editor-in-chief Hotan glanced at Kumaze Shin's appearance and waved his hand: "What, let me go home. Look at your unconventional appearance, wouldn't it be embarrassing if there were visitors to the editorial office?"
Xiong Zexin knew that Chief Editor Wata was saying something bad, but in fact it was for her good. She wanted her to have a good rest, so she nodded and pulled up to the conference room door and left.
After a while, the assistant brought coffee and the two began to talk about the important matters.
"Teacher Qin Han, today I will mainly ask you to confirm the cover of the single book, the design and promotional slogan of the waistband. If you need improvement, please give me your opinions."
Editor-in-chief Hotan took out two cover pictures and a waistband from his briefcase.
"The cover was designed by a famous graphic designer. Teacher Qin Han, which one do you like? If you are not satisfied, you can point it out. As long as there is time, you can make a new cover."
Two cover designs, one is the protagonist of "Dragon Sakura", Kenji Sakuragi, who poses a pose similar to "opposition" in "Reversal Referee", pointing forward with a full momentum. On the blackboard behind him, various learning contents are written as a setback.
The second cover is themed on two girls, Naomi Mizuno and Kasaka Kano. They held the test papers in their hands and walked along the road with cherry blossoms. They were beautiful and innocent, with hope in their eyes.
Although both covers are good, considering that his complimentary skills are to draw beautiful girls, Qin Han chose the second plan.
As for the waistband, there is only a concise but imposing slogan of "Academic Masters teach you to take the entrance exam to Dongda University!"
Moreover, this line of characters was written by Qin and Han Dynasty in person with a brush, showing the charm of Chinese characters to the fullest and attracting attention.
The waist seal is perfect enough, and Qin and Han did not feel that it needed improvement.
After dealing with the main business, Qin Han and editor-in-chief Hotan started chatting.
"Teacher Qin Han, this time the price of a single book is 450 yuan. Calculated based on the 12% royalty, you can earn 54 yuan for every book you sell. If you sell the first print of 500,000 yuan, you can buy a top-end Mercedes-Benz S600."
The two of them were in a good mood and started joking.
Qin Hanxin calculated that if all 500,000 copies were sold out, he would earn 27 million yen, so buying luxury cars or something would be more than enough.
However, Qin Han believes that the sales of 500,000 yuan is just a start, and it is not difficult to make a sales of 1 million yuan two or three times.
In addition to the income from publishing new single-books in the future, it is very likely to achieve an annual income of over 100 million yuan next year.
Of course, if we look at the tax amount, he is still a certain distance away from the top cartoonists.
Editor-in-chief Hotan said: "The release date of the single-book is December 15th. At that time, it was approaching Christmas, and people's desire for consumption will be very strong, and sales will likely go to a higher level. However, there are also disadvantages."
"Everyone is willing to spend money on Christmas. Not only do we know this kind of thing, but other publishers also know it clearly. Maybe there will be a fierce battle at that time." Qin Han said.
