After submitting her comic strip, Ye Shuning began drawing cartoons, also for children. She targeted this first comic strip, titled "The Adventures of Taotao," at older children. It was a collection of short adventure stories.
Ye Shuning's comics don't touch on sensitive topics, and she tries to make the stories as engaging as possible, thinking children will enjoy them. She wants to test the waters and see if the teenagers in Nangang will like this subject matter.
Girls generally like the story of Prince Cinderella. Ye Shuning thinks this theme is timeless and that she can also make up some short stories and draw them into comic strips or cartoons.
Whether it is a comic strip or a cartoon, Ye Shuning's painting style is relatively detailed and the pictures are very beautiful. Even if you don't read the story, the pictures are very pleasing to the eye.
Ye Shuning's first submission to Nangang quickly received a response. The publishing house accepted her drawings and arranged an interview with her.
The interview is to discuss the royalties and a series of issues after publication.
Ye Shuning didn't know much about the situation in Nangang, so she called Qin Zongye and asked for his opinion.
When Qin Zongye heard that the little girl's comic strip drawings were accepted by the publishing house, he was very happy for her and felt that the little girl was really talented.
Qin Zongye told the little girl everything he knew about the problem, and finally decided to go to the publishing house with the little girl because he was still worried.
Ye Shuning was surprised to see Qin Zongye coming to see her before leaving that morning, and was grateful to hear that he was worried and wanted to go with her. With a member of Nangang's upper class looking after her, Ye Shuning was confident that the publishing house would not dare to bully her.
Qin Zongye and Ye Shuning first sent Li Jingyu to school.
Qin Zongye drove to Liyuan Publishing House with Ye Shuning. When the receptionist saw the second young master of the Qin family accompanied by Miss Shu Ning, who had submitted a manuscript, he immediately took her seriously.
The final result of the negotiation between Ye Shuning and the publishing house was very good. Ye Shuning did not ask for a one-time fee, but a commission based on the sales of the comic book. This way, the first fee was very small.
The editors of the publishing house were also very happy. They got the publishing rights of a high-quality comic book without paying too much royalties.
Ye Shuning felt that Qin Zongye played a big role in the smooth negotiation. She had just received her royalties today and decided to treat Qin Zongye to a meal to thank him.
After the two of them got into the car after leaving the publishing house, Ye Shuning said, "Mr. Qin, thank you so much for today. How about I treat you to lunch? Do you have a favorite restaurant?"
Qin Zongye was very happy to hear that, but he didn't want to go to those restaurants. What he wanted most was to go to the girl's home and eat her home-cooked meals.
Qin Zongye hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I eat your cooking again? I like your cooking very much."
Ye Shuning didn't expect Qin Zongye to say that, but Qin Zongye was her benefactor after all, so this request could still be met. "That's no problem, but it's too late today. I'll invite you to my house for lunch tomorrow. Let's eat out for lunch today."
When Qin Zongye heard that he could have dinner with the girl tomorrow, of course he was willing, so he took Ye Shuning to a restaurant.
While waiting for the meal, Qin Zongye talked about the clothing sales situation of the garment factory.
Yahui Garment Factory has several clothing stores in Nangang, and Ye Shuning also gave Qin Zongye some suggestions on promotion and sales. Qin Zongye felt that today's meal was worth it and he received a lot of valuable advice.
The little girl he rescued is really a treasure. She always has many eye-catching ideas in her head.
During the meal, Qin Zongye paid the bill in advance when he went to the bathroom.
When Ye Shuning was settling the bill, she was embarrassed to learn that Qin Zongye had paid in advance. "We agreed to treat you."
Qin Zongye waved his hand and said, "Where can you let a lady pay the bill outside?"
Qin Zongye sent Ye Shuning home and left.
Ye Shuning's comic book was finally published and was now available in various bookstores. Ye Shuning also went to the bookstore to check it out. The quality of the book was very good, the colors were brighter, and the pictures were clearer and more beautiful.
She also bought a copy for Li Jingyu, which served as a form of entertainment for the little one after studying.
Ye Shuning went to several bookstores and found that some bookstores did not pay much attention to this comic book and placed it in an inconspicuous place, while some bookstores gave it a good position.
Ye Shuning also saw some parents buy this comic book for their children. As long as it sold well, Ye Shuning's requirements were not high. She didn't expect this comic book to make a lot of money, as long as it could increase her income.
Just when Ye Shuning didn't have much hope for this comic book, it unknowingly attracted the attention of many children. The beautiful pictures and interesting stories made the children like it, and more and more children begged their parents to buy them the comic book.
Bookstores that sold well asked the publishing house for more goods. When the publishing house saw that Ye Shuning's comic book was selling so well and the sales volume was showing a gradual increase, it decisively printed a second copy.
Gradually, Ye Shuning's comic book appeared in some stalls, newsstands, etc.
The publishing house even called Ye Shuning to urge her to draw a second comic book. They also said that the comic book had sold well in the previous two months, so they could give her a commission. This was also the publishing house's way of encouraging Ye Shuning.
This was a real surprise. Ye Shuning hadn't expected her comic strip to be so popular. She thought it might be because her technique was novel and her artwork was beautiful. She thought her comic strip might be popular too.
Ye Shuning plans to serialize her first comic strip, with multiple volumes planned. She also draws comic strips, and she plans to weave in some natural science knowledge into the stories, creating both entertainment and educational opportunities. I'm sure parents won't hesitate to buy a comic book like this.
When Ye Shuning went to the publishing house, she brought her first comic book with her.
This time, the publishing house gave Ye Shuning a share of 50,000 yuan. Ye Shuning did not expect that there would be so much share. She secretly sighed that knowledge was a good thing. Making money with it was faster than those who spent their energy.
The person who received Ye Shuning this time was the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, which fully demonstrated the importance the publishing house attached to Ye Shuning. They also saw the potential of Ye Shuning.
Ye Shuning showed her first comic to the editor-in-chief, Liang Shiqi, who was very optimistic about it. Comics were becoming popular in R Island and had spread to Nangang. It would be great if Nangang could also produce high-quality comics.
Liang Shiqi felt that he could train Miss Shu Ning well.
Ye Shuning's comic book still received the same profit share as her previous comic strips. This time, Ye Shuning was more confident.
She will take the college entrance exam soon. The most important thing for her now is to review. Everything else will be decided after she takes the exam.
