Chapter 1596: 393: Miss Hua educating on how to be a human, Miss Song, I’m really sorry!_3 Chapter 1596: 393: Miss Hua educating on how to be a human, Miss Song, I’m really sorry!_3 Although Isla Astir had put much effort into her first piece.
But as it was her first publishing, many structures were not well constructed, and the characters had significant flaws.
Isla Astir had published a total of six comic books.
The IP rights of the last five books were all sold, with only the first one left untouched.
Isla Astir had never thought that someone would buy the rights to her first book.
After all, the online subscription for this book was just mediocre.
Having said that, Isla Astir paused, “Brother Thompson, I realize my worth. The incident with Mrs. Thompson is in the past, and I hope that from now on, you will treat me like an ordinary person.”
Isla was feeling the pressure after knowing that Mandel Thompson wanted to buy the rights to her first comic.
She didn’t think that the comic was outstanding.
Even now, she felt that Mandel bought the rights to two of her comics in a row just because she had taken Mrs. Thompson to the hospital.
She hoped Mandel could forget about that incident and consider her as an ordinary comic author.
And not give her any special treatment.
Hearing this, Mandel let out a light laugh.
Seeing this, Isla asked, furrowing her brows, what is he laughing at?
Mandel turned to look at Isla and said, “Miss Astir, do you really have such little self-confidence?”
“What do you mean?” Isla asked.
Mandel spoke slowly, “My purchase of ‘Absolute Confidential’ has nothing to do with my grandmother. Although there are many flaws in the construction of this comic, the concept of the comic is very good. The main character, who seems like a villain, is actually filled with positivity. In this comic, there is no absolute good or bad, the characters are well-rounded and lifelike.”
“Most importantly, it deviates from the current cliche literature. The twists in ‘Absolute Confidential’ catch you by surprise, with one twist after another, and the pacing is very well handled.”
“I think it’s a great work. The reason why it’s being overlooked is that people lack eyes that can discover beauty.”
At this point, Mandel turned to Isla, “Miss Astir, after hearing all this, do you still think I bought a worthless work?”
Isla was stunned.
What Mandel said was entirely unexpected to her.
She had thought that Mandel did it because of Mrs. Thompson…
But unexpectedly, Mandel had thoroughly understood the core concept of this work.
He was right.
She dedicated a lot of effort to her first piece.
She polished it carefully.
However, because when she first joined the comic circle, her lack of experience resulted in her becoming somewhat weary in the later period.
Isla looked up at Mandel, “Brother Thompson, have you read ‘Absolute Confidential’?”
Mandel nodded slightly, “Not only have I read it, but our Product Development Department also thinks it’s a great work. After adaptation, it has the potential to become a major hit.”
Isla was stunned again.
It was one thing for her to suspect.
But it was another thing for Mandel to admit that he had read the comic.
Mandel then asked, “So, Miss Astir, can you sell me the rights to this book now?”
Isla laughed and said, “Sure.”
All the words had been spoken, and Isla no longer felt pressured.
She is a person who hates being beholden to others.
“What’s your expectation regarding the price?” Mandel asked.
After thinking for a while, Isla said, “Compared to hit comics, ‘Absolute Confidential’ has its own merits but is not spectacular, so, a moderate estimate would be around half a million.”
The rights to her second popular comic were sold for three million dollars.
But the first and second books are really incomparable.
Besides, Isla was delighted to sell this comic to Mandel.
Because he cared.
For this comic, Mandel was like its talent scout.
When a swift horse meets a capable leader, money becomes less important.
“Sell your first famous work for half a million, wouldn’t this affect your reputation?” Mandel asked with a smile.
Isla grinned, “So, what price is worthy according to Boss Thompson?”
Isla threw the question back to Mandel.
With a red light ahead, Mandel applied the brakes, “Eight hundred and eighty thousand for the rights, plus a ten percent share of the game adaptation revenue.”
“‘Absolute Confidential’, although not as famous as other works by Isla, has really good content.”
