Rebirth of the God of Comics

In Chen Ze's previous life, once the cartoon "Slam Dunk" was aired, it caused a sensation all over Japan. It set the highest ratings of 21.4%, with an average rating of 15.3%, and even surpassed the ratings of the World Cup.

Regarding the animation copyright of such a national-level animation work, Chen Ze certainly wasn't going to sell it so easily.

"I have another idea, how about we make a bet." Chen Ze smiled slightly.

"What bet?" Li Yuntian asked.

"Bet on the copyright fee." Chen Ze said, "If the average rating of "Slam Dunk" is below 5%, then I won't take any money. If it exceeds 8%, then I will take five million; if it exceeds 10%, I will take 10 million; more than 15%, I want 20 million; more than 20%, then I want 40 million."

Hearing Chen Ze's words, everyone present was stunned.

This Chen Ze is all right! Li Yuntian thought that although China is a big animation country, with the increase of various entertainment facilities, the ratings of animation have long since lost its former glory.

Last year's hottest animation, its highest ratings barely broke 10%, and the average ratings were only 8%. And now that the price he has given is 10 million, why is Chen Ze so confident that the average ratings will exceed 10%?

Lin Lan was also very surprised by Chen Ze's request at the beginning, but thinking of the miracles he created and seeing Chen Ze's confident face, she suddenly gained confidence in Chen Ze.

"How about Mr. Li, are you willing to accept my gambling agreement?" Chen Ze smiled.

Li Yuntian looked at Chen Ze carefully, trying to find out why he was so confident. But for a long time, he only understood the word self-confidence on Chen Ze's face. As for the source, he still knew nothing.

"It's really scary for young people, it's awesome for young people!" Li Yuntian sighed, at his age like Chen Ze, he was still working hard for a job that earned thousands of dollars a month. But Chen Ze dared to bet against him on an agreement worth tens of millions. In such an instant, Li Yuntian felt that he was getting old.

"Okay, since Chen Ze, you don't want a ten million contract, dare to make such a bet, why wouldn't I dare!" Li Yuntian was infected by Chen Ze, and said proudly.

But in fact, Li Yuntian had thought about it carefully. Although he is very confident in Slam Dunk, he also feels that the average ratings are between 8% and 9%, which is similar to the animation that was popular last year. According to Chen Ze's gambling agreement, he can still save five million.

And even if a miracle happens, 10% is broken, which is my original offer. As for 15% and 20%, Li Yuntian didn't even dare to think about it. It has been twenty years, and the last animation that reached 20% ratings was the masterpiece of China's number one god Li Mingyang.

Whether Chen Ze can reach that point, Li Yuntian thinks it is impossible.

"Okay, then Mr. Li, we'll make a deal."

Chen Ze nodded in satisfaction when he heard Li Yuntian's words.

"Okay, then after I print out the contract, let's sign the contract another day!" Li Yuntian said, and he looked at his watch: "Oh, I have my own business, so I'll go first, let's Happy cooperation in the future.”

"Happy cooperation!"

Chen Ze and Lin Lan sent Li Yuntian to the door of the guest room, and said. After he left the sight of the two, Chen Ze said to Lin Lan: "Is there anything else the editor-in-chief needs to do? If not, I'll go back first."

"Yes, I'm looking for you today not only about the copyright of the "Slam Dunk" animation,

There are two more things to discuss with you. "Lin Lan said.

"Two things? What is it?" Chen Ze was very curious, what would this beautiful female editor-in-chief want to discuss with him.

In fact, what Chen Ze didn't know was that Lin Lan had been studying abroad and had no friends in China. And she had a falling out with her father, so she couldn't find anyone to discuss what happened, and she had to carry everything by herself.

And Chen Ze gave her a lot of help when she was in trouble at the magazine last time. So for these two incidents this time, Lin Lan immediately thought of him again.

"The first thing is that our magazine's channel middleman came to me again recently. It seems that he wants to distribute our magazine again." Lin Lan said.

"Middlemen!" Chen Ze said in a deep voice, "Those bastards who are ungrateful for profit! Last time they took the benefits of Lotte Club and refused to publish our magazine's magazines, causing the magazine to almost go bankrupt. Now look at us After blocking Lotte Club's attack, I want to represent our magazine again and make money from it, there is no such cheap thing in the world."

Before Chen Ze started the online serialization, he had already expected that these middlemen were a bunch of people who would be greedy for profit. At that time, the Lotte Society was very powerful, so of course they made trouble. And if they can survive, then they will definitely come back and think about continuing to represent magazines to make money.

This is why Chen Ze has the confidence to use online serialization to support the magazine. The money earned from online serialization is not enough to maintain the expenses of the entire magazine, even with the popularity of "Slam Dunk".

However, what Chen Ze wanted was not to make money online to run the magazine, but to survive the urgent need of being blocked. As long as the magazine survives that stage, the agent will definitely come to the door automatically, which is determined by the profit-seeking nature of the businessman.

Even so, when Chen Ze heard the news, he was still furious at those shameless agents.

"You mean you don't accept their request? But relying solely on online serialization, our magazine won't last long without them." Lin Lan said worriedly.

"No, I didn't say I wouldn't accept them." Chen Ze shook his head, "But there is nothing so cheap in the world. The magazines of our magazine are not what they want or don't want."

"what do you mean?"

"Increase the price. In the past, our magazine had to share a large profit with them. Now, hehe, let them know what regret is."

Chen Ze gave his own suggestion, although he is not a stingy person. However, he will not be lenient when dealing with those who make trouble. And based on the popularity of his comics, if one agency doesn't do it, there will always be another one who is willing to accept the conditions to do it.

Lin Lan nodded after listening to Chen Ze's suggestion, as if thinking about something. After a while, he continued: "There is a second thing. You have been nominated as the best newcomer of the year at this year's National Manga Ceremony, and "Slam Dunk" has also been nominated as the best newcomer work."

"National Manga Festival?" Chen Ze narrowed his eyes.

This National Manga Ceremony is the biggest event of the year in the Chinese animation circle, and its status is just like the Oscars in the American film circle. It selects various awards every year to promote the development of the entire animation circle.

But the force behind him controlling him is the Lotte Society! A few days ago, the Lotte Club wanted to ban me and beat me to death, why did I suddenly nominate myself as the best newcomer now?

This is a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken!

"This is the invitation card issued by the organizing committee. It invites you to participate in this year's National Manga Ceremony." Lin Lan dug out an invitation card from somewhere and handed it to Chen Zedao.

Chen Ze took it and looked it over. It said "Mr. Chen Ze is invited to participate in this year's National Manga Ceremony." The time was the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and the place was in BJ City.

"The Lotte Club may not have good intentions, so I think it's better not to go." Lin Lan said worriedly. Judging by her appearance, she was also worried that if Chen Ze went there, what other means would the Lotte Society have.

"Go, why not. Since others have invited me, of course I will go."
