"What are the conditions for the teacher?" Murakami asked sinkingly.

"The condition... is the exclusive contract system, I won't sign it." Shen Xin smiled.

The "ComicFuture" contract is the contract system of "Young Leap".

In short, as long as this contract is signed, it can only be serialized on "Young Leap".

In this contract, the power of the editor is infinitely amplified, and the cartoonist is at a disadvantage.

In "Dream Eater", there is a plot that Shen Xin remembers clearly. Sincerely, due to illness, the results of "Suspect Detective TRAP" were sluggish, and eventually had to be cut.

When creating the new manga, Sincere Supreme and Takagi Akito conflicted with the opinion of the editor in charge Goro Minato. The answer given by the then editor-in-chief of "jump", Sasaki Sasaki, was, "If you can't draw what you want to do as you wish, you admit that you have no talent."

Although this sentence was not addressed to Sincere and Qiu, Sasaki gave another reply, "No matter whether it is a newcomer or a best-selling author, there are no exceptions. If you don't want to cooperate with the original editor, then go to other magazines. ..."

Under the contract exclusive system, cartoonists have no freedom to speak of, and even the length of their works cannot be controlled, even for best-selling cartoonists.

Toriyama Akira was affected by this, and he drew "Dragon Ball" to the Majin Buu chapter. Since then, he has basically never drawn a full-length manga, but served as the original artist of the game. After L's death in "DN", the teacher had to extend the length of the comic until the Niah chapter appeared. In addition, both "Naruto" and "Reaper" were affected, making the later stages of the comics bloated.

Of course, there are also people who are unwilling to accept the contract exclusive system, such as Inoue Takehiko.

Although "jump" asked "Slam Dunk" not to end, Inoue took a firm attitude and parted ways with "Weekly Shonen Jump" after drawing "Slam Dunk". Later, although Inoue returned to Anglo-American, he was also serialized in "YuangJump" and did not return to "Weekly Shonen Jump".

After Shen Xin's request was made, the expressions of Murakami Toru and Otani China instantly became extremely ugly.

The cost of the manuscript is easy to talk about, but if there is an exception in the exclusive contract system, how can they talk to other cartoonists?

"This is just the basis for our cooperation, and even these are not acceptable, and there is no way to negotiate in the future. That's why I said, it's better to let it go."

"Teacher is indeed a bit difficult." Murakami stared at Shen Xin, and the smile on his face replied a lot. "Obviously, I don't want to cooperate with us."

"You can't say that. Negotiations, I put forward my terms, you accept, we will continue to talk, if you don't accept, we will continue to eat. There are so many cartoonists, there is no shortage of me, right?" Shen Xin laughed .

"Yes, but I was abrupt." Murakami gave a dry laugh and took another sip of red wine.

Shen Xin is obviously different from other cartoonists in District 11. He is not a cartoonist in District 11. He also has many readers in China.

At this point, the atmosphere of the dinner had fallen into a freezing point. Wang Wenhong took the topic at the right time and talked about the tourist attractions near Tokyo, and the atmosphere eased.

"Teacher, how long are you going to stay in District 11?" Murakami asked curiously.

"If there is nothing wrong, will you stay for another week? Stay in Tokyo for a few days, then go shopping in other cities, and then return to China." Shen Xin said casually.

Their schedules are very random. Maybe they will stay for another two weeks, or they may leave in two days.

Toru Murakami wanted to say something, Wang Wenhong picked up the glass again and had a toast with Murakami.

At the end of the dinner, Toru Murakami had already drunk a little too much, and was helped by China Otani and walked out of the hotel.

Shen Xin asked Wang Wenhong to open two more rooms, but Murakami quickly refused.

"Drink too much, the family can understand, but the problem is very serious if you don't return at night." Murakami's drunk face showed a wry smile.

Since Murakami said so, Shen Xin could only ask Wang Wenhong to find another taxi and take the two people back.

After getting in the car, Murakami pulled off his tie to make himself a little more comfortable.

After a meal, I drank too much and sweated a lot.

Seeing Murakami leaning on the seat and tilting his forehead, Otani couldn't help but ask, "What should I do now?"

"What should I do?" Murakami's consciousness was a little fuzzy.

"Ms. Shen's matter..."

"Wait. Since it is a negotiation, there must always be back and forth. The contract exclusive system is not so easy to be broken."

"Yes."

"But Mr. Shen also has an advantage. His income is mainly in China. Moreover, "DN" is licensed to comic books. It seems that the total sales volume is only 7 million copies. However, the benefits of electronic copyright must also be taken into account. On average, "DN" The sales volume should be around 1.3 to 400 thousand copies. We also need such comics."

"Well... shall we give in or not?" Otani was confused.

"Look at the quality of his new work..."

"If he is of high quality, shall we follow?"

"How else? Give it to other magazines? Don't forget the lesson of "DN"..." Murakami asked in return.

"However, there is also a contract exclusive system..."

"The way I figured it out," Murakami said in a low voice.

He drank too much, but his mind was not at all confused.

The contract exclusive system cannot be broken, but Shen Xin's new work, he does not want to give up.

If Shen Xin's new work really shines like "DN", he must think of a way to get the best of both worlds. As for now, before Shen Xin makes new ~lightnovelpub.net~, he just waits and sees.

While Murakami was sitting in the car and thinking wildly, Shen Xin and several people also returned to their residence and gathered around the round table to discuss the dinner.

"From the current point of view, the possibility of cooperating with "Young Leap" shouldn't be great. What should I do next?" Xi Muhan held the teacup, but looked at Shen Xin closely.

"He doesn't agree, we will not cooperate. We are just selling our works, and we can cooperate with comics. "Zhou Man Top" is also considered, and it is not fixed in a certain magazine. As for China, we should also watch "ComicFuture". "What's the reaction?"

In the last confrontation with "ComicFuture", Shen Xin jumped out of the confinement of the domestic comics circle.

After the advent of the Internet era, even if there is no platform, as long as the quality of comics is high enough, they can still have a place on the Internet.

Only in this way, income may not be stable.

Yan Fei opened her mouth, trying to say something, but then closed her mouth again.

The contract exclusive system not only affects Shen Xin, but also affects her-compared with her, "Young Leap" obviously trusts her editor, and her position will be embarrassing by then.

"Even if you don't consider "Young Leap", the quality of the comics is still the most important. When the work comes out, we will talk to these platforms." Shen Xin said.

"Yes." Yan Fei nodded, the situation in front of her seemed not as optimistic as she imagined.

In this way, the next work is very important...

At this moment, Yan Fei's mobile phone rang suddenly, she took out her mobile phone with a confused look, glanced at the mobile phone screen, and raised her head in surprise, "It's a manga."

"Come on."

Shen Xin leaned back, leaning against the back of the wicker chair.

Things... seem to have become less monotonous.
