Xia Ziyu was on the train back to Xicheng and unexpectedly received a call from editor Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi: Mr. Xia, a contracted cartoonist on the website proposed to revoke the contract!

Pikapika comic network has come to the first batch of submissions a few days ago.,There are also a few comics that have passed the review.,Decided to sign a comic.,I thought that after the sub-comic library expanded the number of works,Pikapika's operation will gradually get on the right track.,No longer rely on a comic of the magical girl Madoka to support the field.。

Who would have thought that the cartoonist who had just signed the contract suddenly proposed to retract the manuscript, he frowned and replied, "What is the reason for him to request the retraction, where is the signing now, if he retracts the manuscript without authorization, how much compensation is required from the other party in our contract?"

This can't help but be in a hurry.,Pikapika currently only has two or three new works.,If this cartoonist proposes to retract it.,His website will directly lose a quarter of the number of works!

Yan Zhi: We have just signed a contract online, which has not yet been legally validated, and I don't want to explain the reason when I ask him.

Xia Ziyu: What's the matter? Take over his conversation and let me talk to him.

Yan Zhi did as he was told, and pulled the cartoon that was about to be retracted into their conversation.

Yoshito Tanaka joined your chat, and now you can talk.

Editor-in-Chief Xia: Hello, I'm the editor-in-chief of pikapika manga, Mr. Tanaka, what is the reason why you suddenly decided to retract the article for no reason, if there is no reasonable reason. I think your behavior has caused damage to our company, although at the legal level, we have not signed a formal contract, but the initialling agreement between you and our website mentions that the work will be serialized on our website, and we have also prepared a pre-publicity and recommendation plan for your work on this premise, for which our company has caused a lot of waste of manpower, if this matter is exposed in the industry, it will have a very serious impact on your personal reputation, I think, a discredited cartoonist will not be welcomed by other publishers.

Yoshito Tanaka: The editor-in-chief of pikapika, you don't have to bother threatening me with any credibility issues, since I will retract the article, naturally there is a place for serialization.

Editor-in-Chief Xia: Even if you find your next home, the credibility issue is still attached to your resume, and I hope Mr. Tanaka will think about it before making a decision.

Yoshito Tanaka: There's no need, if you're worried about my credibility, you might as well worry about your own website, serialization on your website is the stain on my resume!

Editor-in-Chief Xia: What do you mean by that?

Yoshito Tanaka: I have no comment, I can only say that I am definitely not the only one who retracted the article!

Yoshito Tanaka has already left this chat room.

I thought that I would scare the other party with a credibility problem and make the other party think about it carefully, but I didn't expect him to care at all.

This is troublesome, without signing a formal contract, the cartoonist's retraction is not a breach of contract, they have nothing to do, as for what the cartoonist said that he is not the only one who will retract the manuscript, which means that other cartoonists who submit will also retract the manuscript?

Also let him worry about his website, what is this, is there any news that is not good for his website?

Mr. Xia, now that the newly submitted works are still in the stage of drafting, and no formal contracts have been signed, do we need to sign the other two works as soon as possible?

It is normal for her to have such thoughts, a publishing house, the most afraid is to temporarily lose the contracted works, traditional magazine serialized comics, if there is an author who suddenly cannot provide the original manuscript, then the typesetting of their magazine will have to consider temporarily adding other works, disrupting a lot of arrangements, and the typesetting work will also be greatly affected.

However, the webtoon is okay, and there is no trouble with typography, but in the current initial stage of pikapika, the lack of comics can be said to be a fatal flaw.

Obviously, the big market is so hot at the moment, new publishing houses are springing up, and new works are constantly appearing, why is it so difficult for his website to recruit cartoonists?

That's why Yan Zhi thought of completing the signing process of the other two comics as soon as possible and tying them to pikapika comics, if he wants to break the contract, the cartoonist will probably not be able to pay such a price.

If it was before, in the face of this incident, Yan Zhi would definitely think that this company was eating jujube pills, and she would be looking for her next home as soon as possible, but in the past few days, the crazy expansion of Blue Star Entertainment really scared their employees who originally entered the company.

She thought that the job she was looking for this time was just a transitional job after returning from District 11, and when she found a better place, she would resign from this grass-headed team with no future. As a result, in less than a month, the company had a large amount of capital investment, and Shengsheng upgraded a grass-headed team with a lack of personnel to a full-fledged publishing company, and I don't know how their boss could do it to attract such a large investment.

Later, I learned that Bluestar Entertainment was actually merged into the Star Group, and she was so shocked that her contact lenses fell off, which is one of the top 100 groups in the entertainment industry of the Federation!

With the backing of a top 100 group, it means that the webtoon has the confidence to compete with other large publishing houses, so that she is not also an employee of the top 100 entertainment companies, Yan Zhi suddenly realized that he seemed to have hit a big luck.

Therefore, she felt completely unashamed of the retraction of a manga now, and even thought that Yoshito Tanaka was stupid and missed an opportunity to become a pioneer cartoonist who changed the federal comic industry.

Xia Ziyu has his own considerations about this, compared to a few ordinary comic works, he cares more about the news that the cartoonist said, he gave an order to Yan Zhi, sign a contract normally, if the other party also intends to refuse the visa, forget it, put all these people on the list of unpopular cartoonists in pikapika, and will not accept their works in the future.

In addition, Yan Zhi used to be the editor of the comic club in District 11, so she asked her former colleagues about the reason for it, because the cartoonist Yoshito Tanaka was from District 11.

And on Xia Ziyu's side, he also plans to make preparations first to deal with the real enemy that the cartoonist said, maybe others will also retract the manuscript and let them do it.

What will make the cartoonist temporarily change his mind and give up the plan to sign a contract is probably only possible with a comic publishing house in the same industry, and his webtoon platform has just opened, which comic publishing house will be targeted.

If even the price of 150 yuan per page can't attract those cartoonists, it means that his opponent has given conditions, or his own strength completely crushes his Blue Star Entertainment.

Therefore, he felt that his website should be more competitive and throw out more preferential conditions to attract cartoonists to come and submit, which was more attractive than facing the publisher who was stumbling behind it.

Through the discussion with his uncle at home in the past few days, he deepened his understanding of the comic industry, and found that the issue of cartoonists' manuscript fees is not actually the most attractive aspect for them, and the real goal of many cartoonists is to publish a single book.

There are two kinds of royalties for the author to choose from, one is the buyout model, which gives a large sum of money to buy out the publishing rights of the cartoonist's single book.

The other is the sharing model, which will choose to sign contracts with authors who are confident that their works can sell more than hundreds of thousands.

Now that he knew that the majority of the manga artist's income was in a single book, Xia Ziyu decided that his pikapika manga would adopt a variety of contract models to make the signing of webtoons more flexible.

First, the contract fee starts at 150 yuan per page, and during the serialization of the work, you can enjoy the reward of the comic fans shared with the website, and after the end of the work, the website will discuss with the cartoonist to buy out the copyright depending on the sales of the work, which is equivalent to giving the author a single publication fee.

After the buyout, all copyrights belong to Blue Star Entertainment, and the author retains the right of authorship.

This model is basically the same as that of traditional comic publishing houses, and protects the basic interests of creators.

The second is the contract sharing model, and the works contracted in this mode will not get comic manuscript fees during the serialization period. However, from the beginning of the comic VIP content on the shelves, you can enjoy the subscription revenue share with pikapika manga, and the proportion is tentatively set at 55 points, and the amount of the reward is also shared in this proportion.

Whether or not to publish a single book in the future will be decided by the author after discussing with the website.

The third type, which does not meet the contract standards, but has no illegal content through the editorial review, belongs to the author's personal work upload and display category, such works do not sign a contract with the website, do not have any manuscript fees, and cannot be put on the VIP content, but the author of the comic fan can share the income with the website five to five.

The main purpose of this kind of work is to fill Pikapika's manga inventory.

In addition, all contracted cartoonists will receive a set of "Comprehensive Chapters of Traditional Comic Techniques" written by cartoonist Xia Ziyu, which contains the secret drawing skills of those traditional cartoonists.

This is also a post that Xia Ziyu inadvertently saw on a comic forum a few days ago, mentioning that now in the federal comic industry, why there are so many works with chaotic painting styles in the circulation market, mainly because there are too few traditional cartoonists, and they are unwilling to share their skills with others, so it will cause the current situation, except for some well-known and popular comic magazines, most of the other comic magazines serialized works are drawn by non-professional cartoonists.

After figuring this out,Xia Ziyu spent a few days at home writing a 'strategy' that teaches people how to use all comic tools correctly,He had such a task before to change the painting style of the comic industry in the Great Asia Federation,Although it has successfully affected ten cartoonists,But there are only ten authors who had ideas before,If there is this set of strategies he wrote,Other comic book authors will naturally learn how to standardize their own drawing。

The above signing terms need to be discussed in detail by the company's managers and the head of the operation department, because a formal contract also needs many relevant details, and it is not enough to set a random share ratio.

Not long after Yan Zhi's news, another editor, Li Yao, also reported the same problem to him, and two other cartoonists also proposed to retract their manuscripts!
