There is a characteristic of the Internet, when something has a certain degree of popularity in a certain circle, the more you want to cover up the matter, more and more people will be involved.

Long Yao, Orochi and Fan Yinmo wanted to expose the "video incident", so they thought about suppressing the heat of public opinion, but made people pay attention to it.

As a result, there are many people who eat melons and give the video @ to many cartoonists.

Ye Hexu was the first to bear the lead and sent out a Weibo.

"The work is the work of the cartoonist, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a son, but listening to the dialogue in the video, it seems that the copyright is not in the hands of Mr. Wei, and the other party does it no matter what he does, is this appropriate?"

After Ye Hexu posted Weibo, many cartoonists also expressed their attitudes, and although the popularity of Weibo did not go up, on Manjia.com, this matter is already the hottest topic, and the whole page of the forum is discussing the "video incident".

"Why can't Mr. Wei control the fate of his works? Obviously, he sold it for so much money, but as a result, the big head was made by others. It's so pathetic. ”

"Not only are there no royalties for individual books, but there are no copyrights. Cartoonists turn over, relying on royalties, and if the copyright can be sold, of course, it is the best. As a result, Mr. Wei had nothing. ”

"Who is the person who is talking to Mr. Wei Mao? It seems to be very horizontal, and he doesn't give room for bargaining at all. ”

"Hopefully find out sooner."

"Many cartoonists have expressed their stance on this matter, and cartoonists support Mr. Wei."

"That's right. Justice is on Mr. Wei's side. ”

"However, Mr. Shen Zheng, the most qualified cartoonist in China, has not yet expressed his ......"

"He doesn't know yet, right? Moreover, Mr. Shen is not a person who often goes on Weibo. ”

"Also, I don't know how he will react when he sees this news."

"What else can you do? Definitely support Mr. Wei! ”

……

As inferred on the Internet, Shen Xin really didn't know about it yet.

Almost everyone, including the assistants, is working hard to create a manga, and in particular, in the last few episodes, the plot of "SLAM DUNK" has become suspenseful again because of the sudden outbreak of the chosen north, and whether the gorgeous expression has tension is particularly crucial.

Coupled with the increase in the confrontation of the characters, the difficulty of drawing the picture is also not low.

From the current point of view, the excitement of this sentence has surpassed the promotion match between Xiangbei and Lingnan, and the difficulties caused by Shangong to Xiangbei have also exceeded the expectations of readers.

As the main writer, Shen Xin had to put more energy into the comic itself, and by the time he finished drawing the line draft of the last draft, the assistants had already left one after another and returned to their residence, but Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong's dormitory was still lit up, and Xi Muhan was also with them, as if they were arguing about something.

Shen Xin turned off the light in the small office, locked the door with his backhand, pushed Wang Wenhong's studio open, and asked softly, "Don't you want to go back?" ”

"Brother, you're just in time." Xi Muhan stood up, waved at Shen Xin, and motioned for him to come in.

"Huh?" Shen Xin looked puzzled and closed the door with his backhand.

"Brother, there's a big thing happening on the Internet, do you know?"

"Unheard of." Shen Xin shook his head.

"Brother...... I haven't said it yet? Xi Muhan couldn't cry or laugh.

"But I really don't know, I just want to finish the manga quickly, we can have a child." Shen Xin said seriously.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Sister Yan and Brother Wang are still there. ”

"They have children......" Shen Xin muttered, seeing that Xi Muhan's cheeks were slightly red, and he didn't discuss this matter anymore, "What was the big deal you just said?" ”

Hearing Shen Xin ask about this, Xi Muhan also shifted his attention to another matter: "Do you know "Warm Full House"? We've seen it before. ”

Shen Xin nodded, "Finished?" ”

"It's not. It's the author who is in trouble. ”

"Huh?" Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on Wang Wenhong, "I remember that he seems to be very famous." ”

"yes, I see him on TV a lot. This one, a video has just been exposed on the Internet, saying that 'how much the book sells, his income is inconvenient', and it seems that there is no copyright yet. ”

"Really?" Shen Xin rubbed his chin, always feeling that Wang Wenhong's words were very familiar.

"It's disgusting! It's despicable to swallow the copyright fee of a cartoonist. Xi Muhan clenched his fists and was filled with righteous indignation.

"How does that cartoonist make money?" Shen Xin asked.

"Fixed manuscript fee. Only $500 per page. Xi Muhan explained.

"500 in one page? It's not very high. Shen Xin said casually.

"The video on the Internet is the one where he wants to increase the manuscript fee, and he wants to increase the manuscript fee from 500 yuan per page to 2,000 yuan." Xi Muhan explained.

"2,000 yuan a page?" Shen Xin was taken aback, "So tall? ”

"Is it high?" Xi Muhan was a little confused.

"It's a bit high." Shen Xin smiled bitterly, "This 2,000 yuan manuscript must have the potential to become a pillar-level comic, otherwise, it will not be able to open such a high price." ”

"But...... "Full House" is the pillar of "Girls' Century." Xi Muhan corrected.

Shen Xin didn't refute, but continued to ask, "And then?" ”

"Then it was 'blown up', the two sides did not negotiate, and besides, it was very stiff. Later, someone posted a video of the two people 'negotiating' on the Internet. Wang Wenhong spread his hands, "Originally, each took a step back, and the matter was easier to solve, but now it is estimated that it will be stumbling down." There are also different remarks on the Internet, most people feel that the salary is too low, with Wei Mao's worth, the unit price of 500 yuan per page is not in line with his current reputation. But there are also doubts about why he signed this contract in the first place. ”

"I see." Shen Xin crossed his arms around his chest, roughly understood the whole process, and couldn't cry or laugh, "Who took the video?" Isn't that a mess? ”

"I don't know. The parties have not yet spoken, but the Internet is already boiling, and the popularity of Weibo has not been able to get up, but there is a lot of discussion on the Internet. Yan Fei said.

Hearing Wang Wenhong's explanation, Shen Xin already understood seventy-seven eighty-eight in his heart.

There is no copyright income, no royalty income, only a unit price of 500 yuan per page, there is no doubt that this is a work buyout, in short, it is to give a price that everyone is more acceptable, and give the money to the author at one time, and then the royalties of the comics, other income, have nothing to do with the original author.

Therefore, this buyout model is also known as an entrustment agreement, which is equivalent to an online platform or a magazine and other platforms to entrust cartoonists to create comics. Because of this entrustment agreement, the copyright will fall into the hands of the entrusting party.

This contract is different from the contracts signed by cartoonists such as Shen Xin and Ye Hexu, like Shen Xin, he is a licensing contract, that is, he licenses his works to "Comic Future" and "Shonen Leap" to act as an agent for serialization or sales, but in the end the copyright is still in Shen Xin's hands.

There is a clear difference between the two.
