Li Wei was lost in thought.
Nothing implausible.
It's impossible for Zhou Lan to deceive him about this kind of thing, it doesn't make any sense.
And what Zhou Lan said actually made sense.
Illustrations for novels are different from professional paintings.
A pair of master-level ink paintings can easily sell for millions of dollars.
But the illustration of the novel is obviously impossible.
Moreover, the rarity of painting masters, even in the entire Datang State, is probably no more than two hands.
It is obviously impossible for such a person to devote all his energy to illustrations.
Even if a master is willing, no platform can afford the price.
It doesn't need to be much, a pair of millions, a million is already over a hundred million.
Even if the standard of illustrations can be lower, even if it is [-], the price of [-] illustrations has reached the level of tens of millions.
The opposite is the profit of a physical book.
It can be called a bestseller if it can reach tens of millions, and it is even more rare to see a masterpiece if it exceeds one hundred million, and it will take time to ferment.
This kind of restriction has made it impossible for master painters to participate in the illustration industry.
Counting down, the elite painting skills are already the best besides the masters.
Although it is not as exaggerated as a painting master, the required price is not low.
Thinking about it this way, I am afraid that in the industry of illustrators, the professional painting level represented by the advanced class is the norm.
But this is not the same as what Levi wants.
Even the level of these so-called first-class illustrators is actually quite average in his opinion.
Holding the painting in his hand, Li Wei thought for a while and said:
"I understand what you mean.
But again, I'm not satisfied with the level of these illustrators.
How about this, I will find the illustrator myself, you guys have to wait a few more days. "
Zhou Lan showed helplessness on her face.
"Mr. Ye Jingqiu, you may not know much about the industry of illustrators.
But I can be sure that the level of these illustrators is already very good, even if you look for it yourself, it is impossible to find a better one. "
Li Wei shook his head and didn't answer.
He has already made a decision, since the illustrators he found outside are not reliable, he should do it himself.
Anyway, there are only a hundred or so paintings.
In comics, that's two or three episodes.
This amount of work is nothing to him.
"By the way, by the way, how do illustrators charge?"
Zhou Lan looked at Ye Jingqiu with the expression that you were teasing me.
If you don't even know such basic things, how can you find an illustrator, so you won't be fooled.
But looking at Ye Jingqiu's serious eyes, she still said:
"Usually, an ordinary professional illustrator should charge around 500 per piece, but this time we are looking for top-notch illustrators, so the fee will be much higher.
Although the price has not been discussed yet, it is expected to be around [-]. "
"How many?"
Li Wei was taken aback, he wondered if he heard it wrong.
An illustration of this level costs 5000 yuan a piece?
Zhou Lan said seriously again:
"5000 yuan, this is only an estimated price, and there may be some discrepancies in reality."
Li Wei took a deep breath.
A piece of five thousand, one hundred is 50!
This number is enough for him to feel pain.
Hearing this offer, Levi once again made up his mind.
do it yourself!
Anyway, there will inevitably be similar situations in the future.
Just this time to pave the way for the relationship between the two 'persons'.
Li Wei didn't say much, just told Zhou Lan to go back and wait for a few days before he went to find someone.
Zhou Lan looked at Ye Jingqiu, although she was speechless, she could only urge him to hurry up so as not to delay the progress.
But compared to "Gulliver's Travels", she is actually more interested in "A Study in Scarlet" now.
Dream Chasing Literature has revealed before that it may have in-depth cooperation with Teacher Ye Jingqiu in the future.
Moreover, Teacher Ye Jingqiu did not refute directly, which showed that what the other party said was indeed true.
It's just that it's not good for her to ask directly at this time, after all, there is no benefit in doing so, and it may also hate Teacher Ye Jingqiu.
In the end, I could only say something nondescript.
"Mr. Ye Jingqiu, we at the Wenchuang Forum are looking forward to the future cooperation with you.
At the same time, I also hope that you have new works to publish, and you can consider our Wenchuang Forum as soon as possible. "
Li Wei is not stupid, so he naturally understood what Zhou Lan meant.
