Chapter 121: Mystery Writer

While waiting for Shen Jie's answer, the production of "Pokemon" was carried out smoothly.

The next night, Alice brought Mr. Tomato and a man into Meng Huo's house.

"His name is Diao Wenlin, and he is a mystery writer."

Alice introduced Meng to Meng that the man was about 3o years old, thin and yellow. Meng Huo judged from the foreign minister that he often stayed up late, and his family was not very good. But the clothes he was wearing, though shabby, were ironed very neatly, and he probably had a good wife behind him.

"Hello."

Meng Shu stretched out his hand.

"Hello, what a pity teacher."

The man had heard of Meng Shu's age on the road, so he barely maintained an unwavering look. He hunched his waist, shook hands with Meng Huo in a restrained attitude, and said, "I'm just a writer who doesn't enter the stream, thank you for this opportunity." ”

The opportunity he said was naturally the opportunity to serialize "Detective Conan".

There are two factors that need to be met for Meng Shu to get rid of this comic, one of which is the comic, and Mr. Tomato can take over. The second is to reason about the plot of the case, Mr. Tomato doesn't think about these contents, so he can only find other people.

After saying hello, Li Qin invited Diao Wenlin and Tomato to sit down, and Alice took the opportunity to tell Meng about Diao Wenlin's situation.

Diao Wenlin is a reasoning writer who writes articles, not a novelist, the reasoning market in China is not large, but there are many writers, and many reasoning writers are living miserably. Diao Wenlin's fabricated case is very good, but he is not a person who can write novels, and he has not published books before, but he has given advice to many novelists.

Novels and comics are both technical products, and people who don't know how to think about stories can play well.

Meng understood this, and Alice helped him find a suitable person, but the specific level could not be judged by the information.

He sat down to chat with Diao Wenlin, reviewing his reasoning skills, and as far as the results were concerned, Alice did not disappoint Meng Xu. Diao Wenlin's mind is as meticulous as silk, with all the characteristics of a mystery writer, and he is also a fan of "Detective Conan" himself, so he knows something about comics.

"Yes, no problem."

chatted for an hour, and asked Diao Wenlin to fabricate a case on the spot, and then talk about the process of solving the case, Meng Shu nodded with satisfaction: "Let's discuss the remuneration." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Diao Wenlin's expression immediately became nervous, and the drowsy Tomato teacher also cheered up.

"The trial period is one month, 2oo Huaxia coins per picture, monthly settlement. At the end of the probationary period, you take over my work, and in the future, 1% of the royalties of the single line will be handed over to you, how about this remuneration? ”

This is the reward that Meng Shu thinks casually.

"2oo Huaxia coins, 1% royalty!"

It seems like a small pay, but it shocks Mr. Tomato.

He remembered that the first two single book sales of "Detective Conan", what a pity that the teacher could earn 2ooo every time, his royalty was 1o%, and 1% was 2oo000...... If Mr. Tomato and Diao Wenlin take over this job, they will sell at least 5 books a year, and five books can earn 1ooo million! 5oo per person!

This figure makes Tomato-sensei happy, and it makes more money than the manga he is serializing.

And Diao Wenlin was already excited and wanted to faint.

2oo Huaxia coins for a picture, about 2o per week, that is, 4ooo Huaxia coins, Diao Wenlin can take 2ooo, a month is 8ooo. He has been a mystery writer for so many years, and this manuscript fee is still out of reach for him.

"With this money, I have a stable job, I don't have to cover my head everywhere, and my wife won't suffer."

Diao Wenlin's heart was pantothenic, and he almost left tears.

He is a writer who has no income, and his wife has not enjoyed a good life for a day since marrying him, and this job, with a monthly salary of 8ooo, is enough to turn their lives upside down.

And there is also a 1% royalty, Diao Wenlin once calculated the market value of "Detective Conan", and he knows what the concept of this one percent is.

"I can buy a house in Ninghai, I can buy it in a year, and I pay in full!"

Diao Wenlin seems to see a new future, he and his wife do not have to rent everywhere, but can buy a suite of their own, and their children will not be looked down upon at school.

Diao Wenlin and Teacher Tomato glanced at each other, and they both saw a surprise in each other's eyes.

"Yes, yes, we promise!"

The two of them nodded to Meng Shu, their faces flushed, and they were extremely excited.

Meng Shu was a little uncomfortable by their gaze, in fact, he was the most cost-effective for this reward, and he took 4oo Huaxia coins for each picture, which was twice as much as Tomato and Diao Wenlin. Then the royalty is 9 times, more than 100 million is very small, and the rest of the time is used to draw other comics, and the benefit will not be worse than "Detective Conan".

But Diao Wenlin and Mr. Tomato wouldn't care about this even if they knew, "Detective Conan" was a comic created by Meng Shou, and they could only keep thanking them.

"Thank you, thank you, teacher."

"I will try, I will definitely try!"

The two men who are more than 3o are very excited, and Diao Wenlin has decided to buy a cake on the way home to celebrate with his wife. He knew that the model of "Detective Conan" could continue to be written, and 1o or 2o years would be no problem at all, and he had a serious job, which was more stable than other jobs.

This is so cool, what a pity that the teacher is simply his reborn parent!

Diao Wenlin kept thanking him, cried when he left, and walked into the elevator like a child.

After Tomato and Diao Wenlin left, Alice breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Meng Huo, this matter is settled." She said to Meng Shu: "Where do you want to put the studio, your house seems to be a little crowded......"

"It's okay, add another table to the study."

Meng Shu smiled, now the three assistants can still bear it at home. If there is one more person, he will have to consider changing places. It was inconvenient to rent a studio outside, and he didn't want to hand over the comics right away.

Without a period of transition and guidance, Diao Wenlin could not adapt to the style of "Detective Conan".

"Okay, I'll buy you some equipment." Alice jotted it down in her notebook, and then asked, "Do you want to announce this tonight in the magazine?" ”

Meng Shu frowned slightly.

Saying this matter will have a certain impact, but if you don't say it, you won't be able to hide it in the future.

It is impossible for Meng Huo to write only a few comics, and he will hire a lot of people to help in the future. This model is a bit like a studio, but it is necessary, otherwise you won't be able to draw a few comics in your lifetime......

However, human energy is limited, and he can't hide it, and as the number of comics increases, it is impossible for readers not to notice that he has someone else to help him.

Meng analyzes the pros and cons of announcing now and in the future.

"Announce it now."

He made a decision that, although it would have an impact, would have less impact now than it would later.

"No problem." Alice agreed, she didn't worry too much, professional cartoonists generally have assistants, Diao Wenlin is also a sorry assistant, the main story line is still in the hands of He Xi, this is no problem.

However, the sky is unpredictable, and Meng Shu and Alice's decision collides with an unexpected event.
