Chapter 109 Industry Consensus

"Party A has the exclusive right to use the copyright of the work without other restrictions within the scope permitted by law, and does not need to pay any other fees to Party B except for the manuscript fee and royalty agreed in this contract......"

Just seeing this clause in the contract made Fang Ye frown.

"Literally, simply put, the full copyright of the work must be handed over to Huaxing Manke, which is simply ......"

"Teacher Fang, is there something wrong?"

While Fang Ye frowned and pondered, editor Chen Yuan, who had been paying attention to his expression, opened his mouth and asked.

"Does this mean that the full copyright of the work will be given to you?"

"Yes, is there any problem, Teacher Fang?"

“…………”

Looking at the other party as a matter of course, Fang Ye coughed and said, "This says that all the copyrights will be handed over to you, and Party B, that is, the author, only has the income from the manuscript fee, is this right?"

"Oh, you mean copyright authorization? The contract is not wrong, Mr. Fang. ”

Chen Yuan, who finally understood Fang Ye's meaning, smiled slightly, and said: "Give us all the copyrights, this is also for the good of the author, Mr. Fang, think about it, an unfamous cartoonist goes outside to sell the copyright of his works everywhere, but he has neither resources nor connections, will anyone want it?

Chen Yuan, who was talking about the Tao and explaining for Fang Ye, saw Fang Ye nodding and listening, he continued: "Manager Jin asked us to give you a buyout contract, in fact, he is already very optimistic about you, Mr. Fang, because although your work is good, it only has the content of the first volume, and it is difficult to say whether the follow-up plot is exciting or not, and whether the story is strong or not, because these are the keys for our editors to judge whether your work can really become popular." ”

Chen Yuan said this, "Your work "ONE PUNCH MAN" is indeed very novel to the setting of the protagonist Saitama, which is eye-catching, although Saitama is unemployed, bald, poor, and looks very casual, but his strength is top-notch, and he instills the concept of "Saitama is strong" to readers at the beginning, and several battles are a move K.O, but our editorial department is worried that you may not be able to control such a theme in the middle and late stages of creation, and it is very likely that it will not be finished...... Especially in a fierce comic industry like Huaguo, a rookie cartoonist like you, even if he is extremely talented, will be affected by the competitive environment, and he can't maintain the quality of his works like a veteran cartoonist......"

After Fang Ye was still silent, Chen Yuan pointed to the buyout contract again, "Teacher Fang, but with this buyout contract, you don't have to worry about the results of the work after it is sold on our website, you just need to concentrate on painting and update steadily, which can not only hone your painting skills, maintain your innovation in the plot, but also quickly increase your popularity with the support of the website and gain enough fans, isn't it great?"

"And I have to thank you again?"

Although this sentence seemed to be a statement, Fang Ye's tone was slightly strange.

But Chen Yuan didn't hear it, he smiled, "I heard Manager Jin say that Mr. Fang, you hope to have the opportunity to become a miracle master in the future, as long as you can maintain the quality like the first volume, then your debut work "ONE PUNCH MAN" I believe can be a hit in China this year! With the support of the company in the back, it is not impossible to compete for the "Original Comics Newcomer Award" at the end of the year!"

"Where ......"

With a wave of his hand, Fang Ye signaled that Chen Yuan had passed the award.

"Teacher Fang, ...... this contract?"

"Uh...... I'll think about it again, and my parents are not here, so I have to discuss such a big matter with them. ”

"That'...... Well......"

Couldn't finalize it right away, although Chen Yuan was still smiling, his tone couldn't help revealing a little depression, "Then I'll go back and wait for your reply, Teacher Fang, call the number on my business card after you think about it." ”

Sensing Fang Ye's action of taking a sip of tea, he guessed that this was the meaning of serving tea to the guests, Chen Yuan didn't stay for a long time, and said the last sentence dryly, and was enthusiastically sent out of the door by Fang Ye.

"Let's go......"

sent them all the way, until Chen Yuan entered the elevator and went down, Fang Ye snorted and turned around and returned to the house.

"It looks honest and honest...... It's really unseemly......"

Fang Ye, who returned to his room, threw aside the stack of storyboard drafts he had drawn in the morning, and in the process of talking with Chen Yuan before, he discouraged him from handing over this stack of NAME, and did not mention that he had drawn the follow-up plot at all, after all, this kind of slap in the face was meaningless.

"Rookie Comics...... Full Copyright Buyout ......"

Typing a keyword on a search page, he pressed the enter key again, and 162,000 search results popped up on the page.

Double-click to quickly enter, and quickly read ten lines at a glance, and the information he wants or similar posts are available.

After looking at more than fifty search results, Fang Ye's brows were already deeply furrowed.

"It doesn't seem like the shopkeeper is bullying...... It's the consensus of the industry......"

is full of posts or news about rookie cartoonists complaining about the copyright of their works that they have no right to intervene at all, and the following messages or so-called expert answers are really eye-opening for Fang Ye-

A: "Newcomer...... It's good that you can buy out your work...... As for copyright, you're thinking too much. ”

B: "When I saw this kind of problem, I thought that when I was a child, I sat in class and wondered whether I would go to Beijing Normal University or Qinghua College in the future, and then I realized that I was thinking too much......"

C: "I think it's okay for newcomers to think about this, do you think your work will have a chance to be copyrighted?

D: "Don't say it's a miracle master, if you can become a popular cartoonist, you are qualified to talk to the platform about this, if you are just a street fighter, just a salted fish, who do you think care?"

XX expert: In fact, the major original comic platforms, the signing contract they formulated, the purpose is to cast a wide fishnet, as long as one of the many newcomer works can be popular, they can make a lot of money, but I don't recommend that every newcomer cartoonist think too highly of himself, after all, there are very few newcomer cartoonists who can become popular in one piece, and many works are anticlimactic, and they die halfway......

……………………

"The above is not all unreasonable, but the problem is that now only I know that "ONE PUNCH MAN" can be popular, and it will be a big hit, and it will even be a miracle work......"

Fang Ye silently closed his laptop and thought with a headache.
