My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 420: Explanation and reason
Shen Xin didn't know what happened outside.
After Tong Yu left, he poured another cup of hot tea and took a sip.
"Brother Xin, why don't you agree to him?"
Xi Muhan packed up the tea set, but when he returned, he was still puzzled.
"This... ten thousand yuan a manuscript... at a loss." Shen Xin sighed.
"is it?"
Xi Muhan first heard about 40 million yuan, and thought it was a lot of money, but now he heard Shen Xin mention it, and he was a little surprised.
"The sales volume of "Soul of the Game" in China has exceeded 20 million copies. With this alone, the revenue has exceeded 40 million. This is not even the income from District 11." Shen Xin explained, "So, 10,000. Yuan a page of manuscript, absolutely lose money."
"I said, there is no good businessman."
"Can't say the same. He is not sure about the results of my next book, and I am not sure. In fact, it is not too bad to sign a single page of ten thousand yuan for the next comic."
"Then you still refuse?"
"Oh, Xiao Han, remember, some people's purpose is to make money, and some people's purpose is to do a career. Tong Yu is obviously a businessman, and it is not profitable. If the profit of the work is not up to expectations, He will cut off the plot behind the comics, which is estimated to be reflected in the contract. Compared with these people, the author is always weak."
"It's so dark..." Qi Muhan muttered.
"Actually, there is nothing black or black, after all, they also share part of the risk for the author." Shen Xin stretched out, "It depends on the author's own choice."
Even if Tong Yu didn't say it clearly, he could still guess that the method used by Tong Yu was "buyout".
After gave the money, all future proceeds of this book have nothing to do with the author.
There are good and bad methods in this way.
After all, no one can judge the direction of the market.
Tong Yu did this, and also shared the author's pressure.
It's just that, in this way, the author will lose much of the initiative.
"I don't know what are the conditions for them to impress Teacher Wang Yunze?" Xi Muhan was a little regretful.
"I should have guessed..." As soon as Shen Xin spoke, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Who is in such a hurry?" Xi Muhan was a little dissatisfied.
Shen Xin holding a tea cup, walked to the fence and looked downstairs, only to find that Shang Hao had walked into the studio angrily, followed by Wang Wenhong, who looked frustrated behind him.
The electronic lock downstairs is broken, so even without informing them, two people can enter the family building.
Seeing two people with different looks, Shen Xin still found it interesting and waved hello.
But, as soon as Tong Yu left, the two of them came over, will they not meet?
who cares? Anyway, it has little to do with myself.
Shang Haozhi looked up and saw Shen Xin who was greeting him with a smile, shook his head helplessly, and walked up to the second floor with heavy steps.
"President Shang, long time no see."
"long time no see."
"The face is so red..."
"I saw someone I don't want to see." Shang Haozhi glanced at Shen Xin, and saw that his expression was not abnormal, so he relaxed a little.
"Tong Yu, right? Did you really meet him?" Shen Xin sat back on the sofa.
"I ran into him and beat him up in pain." Wang Wenhong couldn't help laughing when he thought of kicking his shoes away.
"Beat him?" Shen Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately reacted, "Oh, it's because of Teacher Wang, right?"
"You know?" Wang Wenhong said in surprise.
"Well. Tong Yu said." Shen Xin admitted.
"What did he say?" Shang Haozhi asked impatiently.
"I didn't say anything, I just prepared to give me 10,000 yuan a page of drawings."
10,000 yuan a page?
Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong both took a breath.
It’s not that ComicFuture can’t afford the money, but it’s really rare to pay directly per page.
"Have you accepted?"
"Rejected." Shen Xin didn't move forward either.
"That's good." Shang Haozhi also took a sigh of relief, "By the way, he told you, why did Teacher Wang leave?"
"I didn't say it. It seems to have promised certain conditions of Teacher Wang." Shen Xin recalled.
"However, the conditions mentioned by Tong Yu, "ComicFuture" should be able to meet...Why didn't Mr. Wang ask us?" Shang Haozhi puzzled.
"It's simple. The reason is that he knows that you definitely won't agree." Shen Xin stretched out.
You don’t need to ask, but you must refuse?
"Are there such conditions?" Wang Wenhong asked in confusion.
"No." Shang Haozhi shook his head.
"Yes." Shen Xin asserted.
The judgments of the two were completely opposite, which surprised Wang Wenhong and Xi Muhan.
"Brother Xin, you know?" Xi Muhan asked curiously.
"I guessed two situations." Shen Xin smiled.
"What's the situation?" Shang Haozhi asked quickly.
He didn't believe that there were any conditions that Tong Yu could give, but "ComicFuture" could not give it.
"In the first case, Mr. Wang can serialize comics for other platforms while serializing them. Can you give it to ComicFuture?" Shen Xin asked.
Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong shook their heads.
Manga serialization is exclusive. If it is serialized for one magazine, it is impossible to serialize for another magazine, except for others under the same company.
"The second case is about the advantages of the network platform."
"What advantage?"
"Ms. Wang's new work can be released for free, so that everyone can watch, no need to pay, only need to register a website account." Shen Xin explained.
"Impossible! They will die." Shang Haozhi retorted.
Shen Xin's manuscript fee is 10,000 yuan per page, and Wang Wenhong's unit price cannot be lower than this price.
"You are wrong, they don’t lose at all. The money can be shared equally with other comics or users. Moreover, the editor-in-chief, Fengshuo Media owns film and television companies. Solicit customers, sell copyrights, and in short, they They will not lose money, but the short-term gains are too small. Mr. Shang, the cost of magazines is too high, and the main income of "ComicFuture" comes from the sale of magazines and booklets~lightnovelpub.net~ Therefore, "ComicFuture" is impossible to make Readers can see Teacher Wang's new work for free."
On the earth, these are the routines that some Internet companies often use. Several free works attract customers and rely on other comics to make money.
On average, even if it loses money, it is within the plans of these companies.
However, the web comics have just started, and some people may not have reacted yet.
Shen Xin crossed over from the earth, these patterns have all been seen.
Shang Haozhi frowned.
If this is the case, "ComicFuture" has indeed lost its advantages.
Wang Yunze chose to release it for free, and his intention is also obvious.
Feng Shuo can give Wang Yunze the money, and Yi Shu Culture can also give him, but in his current position, money is really of little use to him.
Wang Yunze is one of the top cartoonists in China. He now needs to remove the word "first".
Comics are free to increase the reader’s audience and become the best cartoonist in the country without reducing their own income.
Thinking about it this way, Wang Yunze's choice can be understood.
