With Potts' help, the process of signing the contract became extremely smooth.

Jacob eventually agreed to pay him $40 per page and a 10 percent royalty for a single book, meaning that for every $5 single book sold, he would get 50 cents.

This is the highest share that Potts won for Qi Mu, which is definitely several times better than other rookie cartoonists!

However, Jacob is conditional, and he hopes to use it in exchange for Qi Mu's promise that as long as the same conditions are met, Qi Mu's future comics must give priority to Pacific Comics Magazine.

Obviously, Jacob wanted to take advantage of this promise and tie Qi Mu to death at the Pacific Comics Magazine.

He believed in his own vision and in Qi Mu's strength.

As long as the story is passed, Qi Mu's unique painting skills alone can already attract a large number of fans, which Jacob is convinced of.

Qi Mu readily agreed to Jacob's conditions, after all, this was beneficial to both parties, and Qi Mu had no reason to refuse.

But before he was ready to sign the contract, Qi Mu suddenly added a condition.

That is, the two parties have to sign a confidentiality contract, and Pacific Comics Magazine needs to keep Qi Mu's identity and age information strictly confidential, and must not leak it, let alone use his age to publicize a series of activities.

He draws comics just to make money, not to get other people's attention.

Qi Mu didn't want to wake up the next day and see his photo on the front page of the newspaper, which would disturb his normal life.

After hearing this condition, Jacob hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed.

While this would lose a good hype, it may have a better effect in the long run.

"The manuscript will be in the magazine in a few weeks, and our magazine is a weekly magazine that is published every Thursday, so you have to submit it every Wednesday at the latest, so that we have enough time to print, and if there is anything special, let me know in time, and I will arrange it for you."

After putting away the contract and the original manuscript, Jacob explained to Qi Mu the special precautions after serialization.

Because Zhou is a headache for most cartoonists, they have to think about the next plot and characters two days before the magazine is released, and draw it into the original draft.

You know, comics are a lot of work, and just one original manuscript has to go through a variety of complicated steps such as conception, storyboarding, line drawing, and coloring.

So the break for professional cartoonists is probably the afternoon of the submission, where they can go out and celebrate, and then get some sleep to start the next week's devilish time.

Of course, a manga is usually done by a group, and that group is the studio.

The author is mainly responsible for the plot and main characters, as well as the painting and arrangement of the scenes, and the assistants are to assist in the drawing, stroke, and blacking of the secondary characters and scenes, and their help is very important for professional manga artists.

"Need me to arrange a studio for you?"

Jacob, who is the editor-in-chief of the manga, is also aware of this problem, so he wants to arrange for Qimu to have several manga assistants to assist him in his work.

However, Qi Mu's situation is special, if the studio is arranged outside, it is easy to expose his true identity.

In Jacob's opinion, it would be better to set aside a room in Qimu's house as a studio, and then the chances of his identity being revealed would be much less.

"I have a studio at home, and I don't need a comic assistant, they'll get in my way."

Qi Mu didn't want a few strangers to walk around his home, and if he didn't pay attention and exposed the existence of superpowers, it would be very troublesome.

Jacob showed a helpless expression on his face when he heard this, and said: "Don't be kidding, kid, this is not a joke, you will ruin a classic comic by doing this, our magazine is a weekly magazine and not a monthly magazine, even if you have this speed, you can't guarantee the quality of the original manuscript, this matter, I can't agree." "

This time, Potts also began to persuade: "Yes, Qi Mu, your body will not be able to bear such a large workload, and now you have to go to school, and the time is completely insufficient." "

"Drawing comics doesn't waste too much of my time and energy, because I have already thought about all the plots and shots of the original manuscript, besides, what can their level help me do?"

This is not Qi Mu's arrogance, those comic assistants will indeed only become a burden to him, and it is by no means an easy thing to imitate Qi Mu's painting style.

Frankly speaking, no one has the ability to be his assistant, unless they are top cartoonists, but will these cartoonists be willing to become a newcomer's cartoon assistant?

"Well, that's a small problem indeed."

Jacob was speechless for a moment, Qi Mu was right, there was really no one who could be his assistant.

Qi Mu pushed his glasses and said lightly: "Please rest assured, if the quality deteriorates, or if you can't hand over the original manuscript, you have the right to reduce my royalties, which can be written into the contract." "

"Okay, I agreed."
