"Teacher Shen, this is what you don't understand. It is not realistic to give each contracted author a substantial amount of guaranteed benefits. In this case, the operating costs of the magazine will increase, and if it is not done well, the magazine society will go bankrupt. Moreover, once there is no competition and some people get by, the overall quality of comics will not necessarily improve on a large scale. Yu Chen corrected.

Wang Wenhong pushed open the door, took a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to Shen Xin, who was drinking water while also thinking about Yu Chen's words.

Yu Chen is right, from the perspective of a business, profit is the primary purpose, and "Comic Future" is different from the network disk platform, it sells physical magazines, since it is an entity, either there is inventory, or it is sold out, in short, it cannot maximize the benefits, and it is easier to lose money.

Take the Internet as an example, the website is signed a large-scale buyout, and the general website may not be able to bear it, let alone a paper magazine like "Comic Future" - pay the author manuscript fee, sell the magazine, inventory, publicity, etc., "Comic Future" has a big business, and the profit is not as high as imagined.

"I also know the difficulties of the magazine...... Indeed, it is impossible to make every author not worry about his livelihood, and the magazine is not obliged to do so. Comic Future or Manga Fly have their own selection criteria, and I think such criteria are correct, but this genre of comic studios will not disappear because of Fan Yinmo's withdrawal. As long as there is interest, someone will definitely do this, and some cartoonists can also make a living from it, I hope that Mr. Yu can get familiar with this situation one day sooner. ”

"You're saying that I identify myself with this type of studio?" Yu Chen was surprised.

As a benchmark for domestic cartoonists, Shen Xin was a little surprised when he thought so.

"Of course not, I'm just saying that Comic Future doesn't have a lot to do with the studio, especially after you tweet it. However, with the increase in manga schools and the number of graduates increasing every year, what should these people do? You can't always be an assistant to a manga artist, right? Instead of letting the studio hide in the shadows, it is better to let them surface, register with the Cartoonists Association, let the Cartoonists Association supervise them, regulate the contracts of multiple parties, and prevent the studio from taking advantage of loopholes - it is better to be sparse. What if you find a few great cartoonists from inside, and your company might dig them up? Digging people is not something to be seen for. ”

It happens from time to time that large companies poach the backbone of small companies in any industry, and it doesn't stop at the comic industry, not to mention, "Comic Future" has indeed poached people, which is nothing to deny.

Yu Chen's eyes instantly brightened, and now his biggest headache was the cultivation of talents.

Sometimes, spending a lot of experience and investing more resources may not be able to get a satisfying new person. If it is as Shen Xin said, it is indeed possible to tap some good talents.

If you consider it from this aspect, he should support Shen Xin's opinion.

"Mr. Shen, if these two things come to pass, you have done a great thing for domestic comics." Yu Chen said with a smile.

"It's not that easy to do. As you said before, if the manga artists who participate in the studio are content with the status quo, they will not be able to produce works that will make people shine. In this case, it is impossible to choose a person. ”

"Yes. There is still competition to be done...... But how do you make cartoonists consciously compete? Yu Chen rubbed his chin and frowned.

Shen Xin spread out his hands, in such a short period of time, he couldn't think of a good way.

"It's not something that one company can control, though. I recommend...... If you can let it go, it is better to pull in the multi-comic network, and "Manga Fly" can also be used. ”

"Pull them?" Yu Chen sneered.

He didn't know why Shen Xin said this, but every platform is a competitive relationship, and from his point of view, he can't wait for these two companies to close down soon.

"Mr. Yu, I joined the comic circle relatively late, and for me, the most memorable stage was when I first entered the industry, when I also took great pains to participate in the 'Comics Festival', competing with me for "Crime" and "Hunting Abyss". Later, with the rise of webtoons, after Duoman.com joined, it took out a super high amount of bonuses and held the Golden Brush Award, which made the attention of the 'Comics Festival' drop sharply. The increase in platforms and the dispersion of cartoonists have reduced the competition among cartoonists a lot.

"Comic Future only cares about its own readers, and Duoman only cares about its own readers. To be honest, such a comic circle...... It's boring. Games, Light, Video, Film and Television Dramas, Movies...... What are the advantages of comics over these entertainments? I believe that it's not Manga Fly or Multiman that is going downhill for Comic Future, but the industries that produce more interesting content.

"A person's time is only 24 hours, except for work and study, eating and sleeping, the time that really belongs to the individual, it is only one or two hours, if the comics do not come up with high-quality works, in the end, the comics will be the side where the time is squeezed. How to get a good work, competition is crucial. Moreover, the more fierce the competition, the more high-quality manga can be created. In this way, the comic industry will not be left behind. ”

Wang Wenhong's eyes widened and he looked at Shen Xin.

Is it bad to make money lying down? In this case, the competition will be fiercer.

He revisited it and understood Shen Xin's intentions.

The cartoonist who can beat Shen Xin, from the current point of view, cannot be found in China at all, but the comic industry is sluggish, and the person with the greatest impact on income is undoubtedly Shen Xin.

In fact, Shen Xin thinks about the same as Wang Wenhong, the competition in the comics industry has become more intense, and it really has little to do with him. Because the fame of "Shen Zheng" has broken out, it is impossible for others to chase after it.

"Y's", "Chess Soul", "Steel", "DN", "SLAM DUNK" ......

The results of "Y's" are slightly weaker, but the total volume of "Chess Soul" is above 2 million, and the sales of "Steel", "DN" and "SLAM DUNK" are even more exaggerated.

A cartoonist who can draw so many high-quality, high-selling comics in one go will hardly exist on Earth, not to mention that he has many cards in his hand.

In the country, not to mention close, even the people who chased him could not be found. Even in District 11, after such a long period of accumulation, Zhi Songye may not be able to surpass him steadily.

However, it is possible that the audience of comic book readers will decrease, the comic industry will shrink, and even the entire industry will go downhill. Just like the earth's online articles, it has been affected by short videos and games, and it has shown fatigue.

In the future, the comic industry may not be like this, which is also what Shen Xin is worried about.
