When Shang Haozhi took Yu Chen to Shen Xin's studio, Shen Xin and the others were eating.

"Mr. Shang, Mr. Yu, why are you here?"

Wang Wenhong looked up and saw the two of them, looking surprised.

"It's still yesterday." Shang Haozhi explained.

"Okay...... Or, go up and say? ”

Shen Xin took out a piece of paper, wiped his mouth, and was about to stand up, but Xi Muhan grabbed his arm.

"If there's anything to do, I'll talk about it after eating. Stomach problems just forgot? Xi Muhan said dissatisfied, "I don't care about myself at all." ”

“……”

Shen Xin could only smile awkwardly at Shang Haozhi, "Why don't you two sit down and have a meal too?" ”

"No, you eat first, let's stand outside for a while." Shang Haozhi hurriedly waved his hand.

Shen Xin has rested for such a long time, and the main thing to recuperate is stomach disease, so it is understandable that Xi Muhan should pay more attention to his diet.

Shang Haozhi and Yu Chen came to the work area on the first floor.

The first time Yu Chen came here, everything was very unfamiliar, his eyes swept around, looking like a curious baby, while Shang Haozhi's gaze fell on the display screen, which was still the original manuscript of "Steel Refining".

After the resumption of publication, "Steel Refining" will serialize the 138th chapter of "Reversal and Refining into a Formation", but the sketch on the display screen at this moment is the 145th chapter.

After the suspension of the publication, the length of each sentence of "Steel Refining" was more than 30 pages, and recently it has soared to more than 40 pages.

"Alas!"

Shang Haozhi sighed.

"What's wrong?" Yu Chen looked back.

"I didn't ...... I just feel that although Mr. Shen's requirements are very harsh, it is not easy for him to ...... there should be no cartoonist who works harder than him in "Comic Future". Shang Haozhi said, "Thinking about it this way, his request is not so excessive. ”

"Why?"

"If the harvest of a hard-working and serious cartoonist is no different from that of other cartoonists, who will work hard in the future?" Shang Haozhi asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Yu Chen nodded, his eyes looked in the direction of the restaurant, but he saw Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong, walking to the work area one after another.

"This teacher must be here for the first time, right?" Shen Xin's gaze moved to Yu Chen.

Yu Chen looked to be around thirty-five years old, with short broken hair, a white shirt, and a pair of rectangular glasses.

"Hello, Mr. Shen, we should meet at the annual meeting, I used to be the editor-in-chief of "Young Future". Yu Chen smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Ever?" Shen Xin was a little puzzled, but he still shook hands with Yu Chen.

"That's right. He is now the editor-in-chief of Comic Future. The time is too urgent, and I haven't prepared a new business card yet, but the mobile phone number on it is valid. Yu Chen hurriedly took out the card bag, took out a business card, and handed it to Shen Xin.

Shen Xin was a little surprised, Yu Chen's words shocked him far more than a business card.

He took the business card, "Hello, if there is anything wrong in the future, please bear with me." ”

"Definitely, definitely." Yu Chen nodded again and again.

After meeting Shen Xin, his favorability towards Shen Xin increased a little.

Shen Xin moved his gaze to Shang Haozhi's body and speculated: "Mr. Shang, have you been promoted?" ”

"Can you guess that?" Shang Haozhi shook his head helplessly, "Sort of, I will be in charge of "Comic Future" and the app in the future." ”

"Really? Congratulations. Shen Xin really didn't expect this, and looked left and right again, "This is not the place to talk, let's go up and talk?" ”

"Whatever the guest wants." Shang Haozhi nodded.

"By the way, Dong Bao is very angry with me, right?" Shen Xin said with a smile.

"Needless to say, he didn't sleep all night yesterday." Shang Haozhi smiled bitterly.

Shen Xin sighed: "No way, we are negotiating, not playing, so it is inevitable that the tone will be too heavy." ”

"I understand, so, I don't care about yesterday. It's just that I can't represent the magazine, otherwise I would have promised you a long time ago. Shang Haozhi half-jokingly.

went up to the second floor, the three of them sat on the sofa, Wang Wenhong made a pot of tea, filled it for everyone, and sat next to Shen Xin.

"That's right, after thinking about it last night, Chairman Bao agreed to all your requests. But because the next manga hasn't come out yet, you shouldn't know the title either. So, we can't sign a contract, we can only give you an agreement first, wait until the comics come out, and then make up the contract. And then there is the online version of the contract of the two comics......" Shang Haozhi opened the package and took out six documents.

The contract is basically double, one for the magazine and one for yourself.

Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong took the contract and quickly read the contract of the webcomic, and the comic income was indeed seventy-three, and it was charged according to the word. If publicity is needed, these two comics also need to cooperate.

The so-called publicity includes but is not limited to free comics during the specified period, free publicity on major forums and ACG websites, etc.

"I have a question." After Wang Wenhong read the contract, he looked up and said.

"Huh?"

"If "Steel" is published on the app, the sales of "Comic Future" will also be affected, right?" Wang Wenhong asked.

Shen Xin also has this doubt, if "Steel Chain" is serialized on the app, then the sales of "Comic Future" should decline, after all, there will always be some readers who only buy "Comic Future" because of one or two comics.

"Yu Chen and I think so, "Chess Soul" will all be put on the app, but the situation of "Steel Forge" is a bit special, before the end, it will not be all put on it, and each volume will only be free of one or two words. As a result, readers who want to see the following content will either buy the manga on the app or buy a single book.

"The latest two volumes of comics will not appear on the app, but there will be an event in the app. If a reader spends a certain amount on the app, he or she will provide the reader with the latest volume for free for a limited time, and the magazine will take out the equivalent amount of the fee from the consumption limit, which is regarded as your income in this part. ”

This article was discussed by Shang Haozhi and Yu Chen on the way here, so they didn't have time to add it yet.

"Then this one, just add it to it, right?" Shen Xin didn't make any further comments and handed the contract to Shang Haozhi.

The contract is not the final version, and he cannot sign it yet.

Compared with the contracts of "Chess Soul" and "Steel Forge", Shen Xin obviously cares more about this agreement.

His conditions have been put forward, but Bao Jiyi's request has not yet been said, and it should be reflected in the agreement.

The agreement is not long, only 2 pages, indicating many of the conditions mentioned by Shen Xin, such as the exclusive agreement, and the ownership of copyright, but there are also conditions, the magazine has the right to "cut in half" the comics.

Shen Xin understands the idea of the magazine, "cutting in half" is actually a stop loss, if the new comics can't bring them benefits, they may not be willing to accept his conditions, and then they will break up in two, which is good for both parties.

"I also have a condition that I hope to add."

"Conditional?" Shang Haozhi's eyelids jumped twice, and he was a little weak.

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal. I can also decide the length of the piece. If I think the manga can be finished, then you can't stop it. Shen Xin put away his smile.
