Chapter 1175: contract
When Wang Wenhong pushed the door in, Shen Xin raised his head and saw that it was Wang Wenhong. Then he stretched his waist and said, "What's the matter? Something?"
"Yeah. "ComicFuture" cut "No Demon Under Heaven" in the middle." Wang Wenhong said.
"Half cut? Why?" Shen Xin asked puzzledly.
"It is said that although Jin Yingchen was hired by "ComicFuture", Shi Qun and Fan Yinmo had known each other when they were in District 11. At that time, "The Devil's Family Education" was completed with the support of Fan Yinmo and the comic was completed. Read and sign it lightly. However, because Fan Yinmo paid Shi Qun the manuscript fee before allowing him to complete the manuscript, Fan Yinmo took away the income that originally belonged to Shi Qun.
"With the first cooperation, Fan Yinmo and Shi Qun continued to cooperate in "A World Without Demon" and adopted a double contract. That is, Shi Qun signed a contract with "ComicFuture" and signed with Fan Yinmo. This contract is equivalent to Fan Yinmo authorizing the copyright of the comics to Shi Qun, and Shi Qun gave it to "ComicFuture". After "ComicFuture" knew it, he was very angry and immediately cut "No Demon Under Heaven". But why did Shi Qun sign this? A type of contract? Wouldn’t it be great if you signed with "ComicFuture" directly?"
"I guess it's for stability? Compared to "ComicFuture" cutting comics at any time, having a stable income may be more important for Shi Qun."
This is like online novels, some authors choose to share, some authors choose to buy out.
The advantage of buy-out is that the draft fee is stable, how many words you write, how much draft fee you take, and the benefit of sharing is that the ceiling is high. In addition to these two, there is another kind called guarantee.
Among these three models, the guarantee is the best for authors in most cases. As for buyout and share, each has its pros and cons. In short, it is divided into authors who are suitable for great **** level, because of the high ceiling and unproven authors. , If you want to sign a buyout, you may be depressed by the platform.
"But... if "No Demon Under Heaven" is cut in half, wouldn't Shi Qun take very little money?" Wang Wenhong retorted.
"This is also..." Shen Xin thought for a while, then raised his head and asked Wang Wenhong, "Do you know the right. The gambling agreement?"
"know."
Yes. Gambling agreement is a form of option.
The two sides use a certain standard as the demarcation point. If one party wins, then the other party has to pay extra rewards.
In "A World Without Demon", the two parties can agree on how many words the comic will not be cut. If the number of serialized episodes exceeds the agreed length, then the copyright and the income of "A World Without Demon" belong to Fan Yinmo, and Fan Yinmo only needs to pay the manuscript fee; in case the comic is cut in advance, Fan Yinmo will provide the manuscript fee.
Of course, Shen Xin certainly does not know the specific contract between the two people. These are also a guess and the most common way.
Wang Wenhong nodded when he heard the words, "There is indeed such a possibility."
Shen Xin's brows never stretched, and he asked, "Brother Wang, which platform is discussing this matter?"
"Weibo has a lot of discussions. After all, this matter ranks first on Weibo's popularity list, and then there is Manjia. The entire forum is discussing this matter."
Shen Xin immediately took out his mobile phone and clicked on Manjia.com.
As a gathering place for domestic comic friends, here are not only comic lovers, but also comic artists who come and go at any time. Moreover, the editors of each platform will also bubble up from time to time.
Therefore, the posts or opinions posted here may be captured by the comic platform.
"Hey, how did it become like this? Fan Yinmo directly withdrew from the comics circle. For the comics circle, this is a big loss, right?"
Seeing this post, Shen Xin was stunned, and looked up at Wang Wenhong, "Fan Yinmo has withdrawn? How did he withdraw?"
"How can I withdraw? Disbanded the studio." Wang Wenhong opened his hand.
Shen Xin rubbed his chin without making a sound, and continued to look down.
"I didn't expect Fan Yinmo to withdraw directly, I thought he would hold on for a while."
"It is said that it was the pressure of the family, plus "ComicFuture" made such a show, so that Fan Yinmo was not in the mood to do it."
"It's fine if others don't do it. Why did you cut "A World Without Demon"?"
"I hate my favorite comics being cut in the middle. If the grades of the comics are not good, I will feel heartache, but I can also understand the magazine. After all, the grades are the basis for the smooth serialization of a work. Qun had a contract with Fan Yinmo, and unexpectedly cut this comic."
"Don't use the children's thinking about this matter, ok? No matter where you are, double contracts are absolutely taboo, or even illegal. This is equivalent to selling one work to two families. Shi Qun and Fan Yinmo and "ComicFuture" "After signing the contract, I will ask you, once it goes to court, to whom does the copyright of "A World Without Demons" belong? This is something that must be considered, not taken for granted."
"As a reader, these are not my considerations. For this comic, I bought the "ComicFuture" magazine, as well as the comic booklet and surroundings. Now this result is given, the money I spent before , Isn't it dangling?"
"That's right, we bought the separate edition of "A World Without Demon", didn't we just want to know the follow-up ending? After doing this, how can we continue to watch it?"
"Does the magazine work completely regardless of the reader's emotions? If this is the case ~ lightnovelpub.net~ the next issue of "ComicFuture", I will not buy it either.
Shen Xin frowned when he saw the comments on the hottest post, and he was silent for a long time.
"A World Without Demon" shouldn't sign two contracts, just as someone in the post said, it is indeed illegal to sign two places for one work. Even if they wanted to sign a contract, Fan Yinmo and "ComicFuture" signed instead of Shi Qun.
Regardless of whether Fan Yinmo did it out of the original intention, this will indeed bring a lot of trouble to "ComicFuture", and it is difficult to solve.
From this perspective, Shen Xin supported "ComicFuture" and cut "A World Without Demons" with both hands, and even if Yu Chen was more ruthless, he would take Fan Yinmo and Shi Qun to court.
However, the readers’ demands are also reasonable. This reminds Shen Xin that there are many online novels. For various reasons, some can be avoided, such as the author’s lazy cancer, and some are inevitable. But no matter what the reason, it is difficult for readers to accept it emotionally.
Of course, if it is lazy cancer or livelihood, novels may still be able to make up, but novels that are harmed by harmony or the author's death will always become readers' regrets.
As an author and reader, Shen Xin certainly understands this feeling, and does not want "A World Without Demons" to leave the reader's field of vision in this way.
Because "A World Without Demons" was cut in half, Shen Xin would even feel that this comic would no longer be able to end normally.
This hurts both cartoonists and readers.
