Shen Xin didn't know what was going on outside.

After Tong Yu left, he poured another cup of hot tea and took a sip.

"Brother Xin, why didn't you agree to him?"

Xi Muhan put away the tea set, and when he came back, he was still puzzled.

"This ...... 10,000 yuan for one manuscript...... It's a loss. Shen Xin sighed.

"Really?"

When Xi Muhan first heard 40 million yuan, he thought it was a lot of money, but now he was a little surprised when he heard Shen Xin mention it.

"The sales of the single book of "Chess Soul" in China have exceeded 20 million copies, and the income of this piece alone has exceeded 40 million, not counting the income of District 11." Shen Xin explained, "Therefore, 10,000 yuan per page of manuscript is definitely a loss of money. ”

"I'll just say that businessmen don't have a good person."

"The same cannot be said. He's not sure what I'm going to do for my next book, and I'm not sure either. In fact, the next comic can sign a single page of 10,000 yuan, which is not too much of a loss. ”

"And you still refuse?"

"Alas, Xiaohan, you remember, some people's purpose is to make money, and some people's purpose is to make a career. Tong Yu is obviously a businessman, and he can't afford to be unprofitable. If the income of the work does not meet expectations, he will cut off the plot behind the comics, and these estimates will be reflected in the contract. The author is always a weaker than these people. ”

"It'......s so dark," Xi Muhan muttered.

"Actually, it's not black or black, after all, they also share part of the risk for the author." Shen Xin stretched, "It depends on the author's own choice." ”

Even if Tong Yu didn't say it explicitly, he could still guess that the method used by Tong Yu was "buyout".

After giving this money, all the proceeds of the book in the future have nothing to do with the author.

There are good and bad ways to do this.

After all, no one can tell where the market is going.

In doing so, Tong Yu also shared the pressure on the author.

It's just that in this way, the author will lose the already small initiative.

"I don't know what the conditions for them to impress Teacher Wang Yunze?" Xi Muhan had some regrets.

"I should have guessed ......" As soon as Shen Xin's words came out, there was a quick knock at the door.

"Who is in such a hurry?" Xi Muhan was a little dissatisfied.

Shen Xin took the teacup, walked to the fence, looked downstairs, but found that Shang Haozhi walked into the studio angrily, followed by Wang Wenhong, who looked depressed.

The electronic lock downstairs was broken, so two people could enter the family building without notifying them.

Seeing the two people with different expressions, Shen Xin still felt funny and waved hello.

However, as soon as Tong Yu left, these two people came over, so they won't meet, right?

Whatever? Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.

Shang Haozhi looked up and saw Shen Xin, who was greeting him with a smile, shook his head helplessly, and walked up to the second floor with heavy steps.

"Mr. Shang, long time no see."

"Long time no see."

"...... face so red"

"I saw people I didn't want to see." Shang Haozhi glanced at Shen Xin, and saw that his expression was not abnormal, and he relaxed slightly.

"Tong Yu, right? Did you really run into him? Shen Xin sat back on the sofa.

"I met him, and I beat him up." Wang Wenhong thought of kicking his shoes away and couldn't help laughing.

"Beat him?" Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, "Oh, it's because of Teacher Wang's matter, right?" ”

"You know?" Wang Wenhong was surprised.

"Hmm. Tong Yu said. Shen Xin admitted.

"What did he say?" Shang Haozhi asked impatiently.

"I didn't say much, but I was going to give me 10,000 yuan a page of drawing."

10,000 yuan a page?

Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong both took a breath.

It's not that Comic Future can't afford it, but it's rare to pay directly for the page.

"You accepted it?"

"Refused." Shen Xin didn't take a step either.

"That's good." Shang Haozhi also breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way, he told you, why did Teacher Wang leave?" ”

"I didn't say it. It seems that he agreed to some of Mr. Wang's conditions. Shen Xin recalled.

However, the conditions mentioned by Tong Yu should be met by "Comic Future...... Why didn't Mr. Wang ask us? Shang Haozhi was puzzled.

"Simple. The reason is that he knows that you will definitely not agree. Shen Xin stretched his muscles.

You don't need to ask, but you must refuse?

"Is there such a condition?" Wang Wenhong wondered.

"Nope." Shang Haozhi shook his head.

"Yes." Shen Xin asserted.

The judgments of the two people were completely opposite, which made Wang Wenhong and Xi Muhan surprised.

"Brother Xin, you know?" Xi Muhan asked curiously.

"I guessed two scenarios." Shen Xin said with a smile.

"What's the situation?" Shang Haozhi hurriedly asked.

He didn't believe that there were any conditions that Tong Yu could give, but "Comic Future" couldn't.

"In the first case, Mr. Wang can serialize comics for other platforms at the same time as serializing for them. Can Comic Future be given? Shen Xin asked.

Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong shook their heads.

Manga serialization is exclusive, and if it is serialized by one magazine, it is impossible to serialize it for another magazine, except for others under the same company.

"In the second case, we have to talk about the advantages of online platforms."

"What advantages?"

"Mr. Wang's new work can be released for free, so that everyone can watch it, no need to pay, only need to register an account on the website." Shen Xin explained.

"Impossible! They're going to die. Shang Haozhi retorted.

Shen Xin's manuscript fee is 10,000 yuan per page, and Wang Wenhong's unit price cannot be lower than this price.

"You're wrong, they don't lose at all. This money can be evenly distributed to other comics or users, and besides, the editor-in-chief, Fengshuo Media has a film and television company. Pull customers, sell copyrights, in short, they will not lose money, but the income is too small in the short term. Mr. Shang said that the cost of the magazine was too high, and that Comic Future's main income came from the sale of magazines and single books. Therefore, it is impossible for "Comic Future" to let readers see Mr. Wang's new work for free. ”

On Earth, these are the usual routines of some online companies, with a few free titles attracting customers and relying on other comics to make money.

On average, even if the loss is made, it is within the plan of these companies.

However, the webtoon has just begun, and some people should not have reacted yet.

Shen Xin crossed over from the earth, and these patterns have all been seen.

Shang Haozhi frowned.

If that's the case, Comic Future really loses its edge.

Wang Yunze chose to release it for free, and his intention is also obvious.

Feng Shuo can give Wang Yunze money, and Yishu Culture can also give him it, but in his current position, money is really of little use to him.

Wang Yunze is one of the top cartoonists in China, and he now needs to remove the word "first".

Comics are free, increase the audience of readers, and become the best cartoonist in the country, without reducing their own income,

Thinking about it this way, Wang Yunze's choice can be understood.
