The news posted by Duoman on Weibo and Manjia.com APP quickly caused heated discussions on the Internet.

In particular, the top 20 manuscript fees on Weibo are even more imaginative.

The manuscript fee for the first place is not much, only 90,000 yuan, but the manuscript fee for the 20th place is 50,000 yuan.

If it is calculated according to 500 yuan per page, 80 chapters a month is only 40,000 yuan.

However, a magazine also serializes about 20 comics, and the last cartoonist will definitely not pay more than 500 yuan a page, not to mention other websites, "Comic Future". Moreover, because of the penultimate results, the serialization will be completed in 10 weeks at most, and it is impossible to sell a single book - even if it is released, the cartoonist will earn one or two hundred thousand, which may not be as much as the manuscript fee of Duoman.com.

In this way, the lower limit of the manuscript fee announced by Duoman is higher than that of the magazine. It's just that the upper limit is really not comparable, after all, top cartoonists have royalties.

But there are also people who see the problem and immediately ask below.

"There are so many cartoonists serialized on Duoman.com, and as a result, the top 20 manuscript fees are so small, it's too pitiful, right?"

"Above, don't you think that only twenty or thirty authors submit articles to the magazine? The authors who contributed to them were no less than those of Duoman.com, but those authors were eliminated without even having the opportunity to publish. Duoman.com just published these comics that have no chance of serialization on the Internet. ”

"If the skills are not as good as others, forget it, you don't even have the right to serialize, and you can directly eliminate the work, which is too bullying."

"Especially some slow-burning comics, the front is just in the layout, and after a dozen words, the story gradually becomes exciting. But the magazine's protection period for the new work is only 10 words...... 10 words, for a comic with hundreds of words, what is 10 words? Rather than this, even if I make less money, I want to serialize it on the multi-man.com. ”

"I think that's the case, like me, I want to draw the story in my heart for the reader to see. As for making money...... It's good to be able to eat. So, I think Duoman is quite suitable for me. ”

"Those who say that the manuscript fee is small, have you forgotten that this is only the manuscript fee for the first month of Duoman.com. If Comic Future were to start from scratch, I don't think they would necessarily be able to surpass Comic. ”

"That's true. In any case, at least Duoman.com didn't block the author's way, and a diligent cartoonist can still drink soup. ”

Another post signed with Duoman.com is not as attractive as this one, after all, most people are more sensitive to manuscript fees.

But there are also some people who read the signing list, clicked on Duoman.com, browsed the signed comics, and snorted coldly, "That's it?" I can do it too. ”

"I haven't mastered the proportions of the body, and this kind of comic can also be signed?"

"It's a good thing, especially for those of us who have experience, it's a great place to make money!"

……

Shang Haozhi browsed the messages sent by Duoman.com, and also read these messages, snorted coldly, and tapped the table twice.

He didn't care about the comments of these cartoonists.

Comic Future has also stabilized after surviving last year's difficulties.

The average sales of the magazine's recent issues are almost between 4.6 million and 4.7 million copies, and at the same time, the big sales of "Steel Forge" and "Chess Soul" also made Shang Haozhi breathe a sigh of relief.

Recently, Yan Fei has suddenly become busy, and I don't know what the reason is.

In addition, there is another thing that has been nested in Shang Haozhi's heart, the plan of the "Comic Future" app has been submitted for almost a month, and I don't know if the management will approve it.

Then there is the production of the electronic version of "Steel", which is even more difficult to say.

"Seven three open" is estimated to be enough for a day of high-level discussion.

It's hard......

Shang Haozhi sighed.

The editor in the editing room secretly glanced at Shang Haozhi.

The editor-in-chief rarely shows emotion.

Is it because you lose money playing cards?

That's not right, the editor-in-chief is not a person who loves to play cards.

The editors were confused and didn't dare to ask.

If you accidentally "blow up", then it is really unlucky.

As a result, there was silence in the newsroom, and only the sound of keyboard tapping could be heard.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, startling Shang Haozhi.

"Whose landline?" Shang Haozhi asked.

"Editor-in-chief, it's yours." Zeng Yue smiled bitterly.

"Oh......" Shang Haozhi realized that it was his landline.

The people in the editorial department looked at each other, and they all saw helplessness on each other's faces.

Recently, the editor-in-chief has been a little distracted.

Shang Haozhi answered the phone, nodded slightly, and his expression became solemn.

After hanging up, he stood up and walked briskly out of the office.

"Seeing that Mr. Shang is in such a hurry, it should be a very important thing, right?" Zhou Xiaoming said uneasily.

"I don't know. Recently, the magazine's results have been stable, "Chess Soul" is still in theaters, and the craze is still there, but it is not as lively as a few days ago. ”

"Speaking of "Chess Soul", this movie is really popular. My home is still a second-tier city, but it was hard to get a ticket, and finally I returned to Hongchuan and took the time to watch it again. I have to say, the production is really exquisite. It seems that what Kanan Kubo said, what in the short term, he can't make a more exciting movie, should be true. Jian Xiaomei said.

"The classic plot, the top production team and sufficient funds are the guarantee of results. Not every movie has such a big investment. yes, Xiao Wang. Hook asked Wang Wenhong opposite.

"yes, it's hard." Wang Wenhong said casually, but his eyes never took off the computer.

It seems that he is proofreading the dialogue wholeheartedly, but in fact, in his heart, he has already left the editorial department with Shang Haozhi.

Years ago, Shang Haozhi and Shen Xin were also present for the exchange, so after Shang Haozhi was called away, he was also upset.

Shang Haozhi went upstairs, is it related to "Steel Forge"?

Wang Wenhong hopes that "no", but there is a trace of expectation in his heart.

Shang Haozhi knocked on the door of Bao Jiyi's office, came to the desk, and looked at Bao Jiyi, who was sitting precariously, feeling a little uneasy.

He looked back, only to find two documents on the table, side by side, the project he had submitted.

Ever or never?

In Shang Haozhi's heart, there seemed to be a balance, constantly swaying up and down.

"Yesterday, the management had a meeting to discuss your two plans, but there was no result, and today we discussed it all morning, and it was finally decided. I'll tell you the management's opinion now. ”

"Hmm." Shang Haozhi's heart was a little apprehensive.

"First of all, the management agreed to make a comic-related app, and a separate webtoon department will be set up to organize and collect the comics that have already been completed. This department exists alongside the editorial office of Comic Future. For comics that have been completed in the last five years, the editorial department can submit a list of inclusions, and "Chess Soul" and "The Legend of the Dragon King" are not included in the list of options. ”

When Shang Haozhi heard Bao Jiyi's words, his heart suddenly felt a little mixed.
