Chapter 1175 Contract
When Wang Wenhong pushed the door in, Shen Xin raised his head and saw that it was Wang Wenhong, so he stretched his waist and said, "What's wrong?" Something? ”
"Hmm. "ComicFuture" cut "No Demons in the World" in half. Wang Wenhong said.
"Halved? Why? Shen Xin was puzzled.
It is said that although Jin Yingchen was hired by "ComicFuture", Shi Qun and Fan Yinmo already knew each other when they were in District 11. At that time, "The Demon King's Tutor" was funded by Fan Yinmo and completed the comics, which were later packaged and signed lightly. However, because Fan Yinmo gave Shi Qun a manuscript fee before, so that he could complete the manuscript, the income that originally belonged to Shi Qun was taken away by Fan Yinmo.
With the first cooperation, Fan Yinmo and Shi Qun continued to cooperate in "No Demon in the World", and adopted a double contract, that is, Shi Qun signed a contract with "ComicFuture" and signed a contract with Fan Yinmo, which is equivalent to Fan Yinmo authorizing the comic copyright to Shi Qun, and Shi Qun gave "ComicFuture". After "ComicFuture" found out, it was quite angry and immediately cut "No Demon in the World". But why did Shi Qun sign a contract of this model? Wouldn't it be nice to sign directly with ComicFuture? ”
"I guess it's for stability, right? Compared with "ComicFuture", which can cut the comics in half at any time, it may be more important for Shi Qun to have a stable income. ”
It's like the web, some authors choose to take a share, and some choose to buy out.
The advantage of buying out is that the manuscript fee is stable, how many words to write, how much manuscript fee to take, and the advantage of sharing is that the ceiling is high. In addition to these two, there is also a type called guarantee.
In these three modes, the bottom guarantee is the best for the author in most cases, as for the buyout and sharing, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, in short, the division is suitable for the author of the god level, because the ceiling is high, and the author whose strength has not been proven, if he wants to sign a buyout, he may be depressed by the platform.
"But...... If "There Are No Demons in the World" is cut in half, won't Shi Qun get very little money? Wang Wenhong retorted.
"This is also ......" Shen Xin thought for a moment, then looked up and asked Wang Wenhong, "You know right. Gambling protocols? ”
"Yes."
Right. A gambling agreement is a form of option.
The two sides are divided by a certain criterion, and if one side wins, then the other side pays an additional gratuity.
Changed to "There Are No Demons in the World", the two sides can agree on how many words, and the comics will not be cut in half. If the number of serialized words exceeds the agreed length, then the copyright and the income of "No Demon in the World" belong to Fan Yinmo, and Fan Yinmo only needs to pay the manuscript fee; In case the comic is cut in half in advance, Fan Yinmo will provide the manuscript fee.
Of course, Shen Xin definitely doesn't know the specific contract of the two people, these are also speculations, and they are also the most common way.
Wang Wenhong shook his head when he heard this, "There is indeed such a possibility." ”
Shen Xin's brows never stretched, and he asked, "Brother Wang, which platform is discussing this matter?" ”
"There is a lot of discussion on Weibo, after all, this matter ranks first on the popularity list of Weibo, and then there is Manjia.com, and the whole forum is discussing this matter."
Shen Xin immediately took out his mobile phone and clicked on Manjia.com.
As a gathering place for domestic comic friends, it is not only by lovers of comics, but also by cartoonists who haunt at any time, and the editors in charge of each platform will also bubble up from time to time.
Therefore, the posts or opinions that come out here may be captured by the comic platform.
"Well, how did it become like this? Fan Yinmo directly withdrew from the comic circle, which is a big loss for the comic circle, right? ”
Seeing this post, Shen Xin was stunned and looked up at Wang Wenhong, "Fan Yinmo quit?" How do I get back? ”
"How else can I get back? The studio was disbanded. Wang Wenhong spread his hand.
Shen Xin rubbed his chin, didn't make a sound, and continued to look down.
"I didn't expect Fan Yinmo to quit directly, I thought he would hold on for a while."
"It is said that it was the pressure at home, coupled with the fact that "ComicFuture" made such a play, so that Fan Yinmo was in no mood to do it again."
"If others don't do it, forget it, why did you cut "No Demon in the World" in half?"
"I hate my favorite comics being cut in half, if the comics' grades are not good, I will be heartbroken, but I can also understand the magazine, after all, the results are the basis for whether a work can be successfully serialized, and the magazine actually cut this comic in half because Shi Qun has a contract with Fan Yinmo."
"Don't think about it like a child, okay? Everywhere, double contracts are absolutely taboo and even illegal. This is the equivalent of selling one work to two companies. Shi Qun signed contracts with Fan Yinmo and "ComicFuture" respectively, let me ask you, once you go to court, who does the copyright of "No Demon in the World" belong to? This is something that must be considered, not taken for granted. ”
"As a reader, these are not for me to consider. For this comic, I bought the magazine "ComicFuture", and also bought the single book and peripherals of the comic, and now give such a result, so the money I spent before was not wasted? ”
"That's right, when we buy the single book of "No Demons in the World", don't we just want to know the follow-up ending? With this in mind, how can we continue to look at it? ”
"Do magazines do things without considering the emotions of their readers? If that's the case, I won't buy the next issue of ComicFuture. ”
Shen Xin saw the message of the hottest post, his brows furrowed, he pondered for a long time, and did not make a sound.
"There Are No Demons in the World" should not sign two contracts, as a person in the post said, it is indeed illegal to sign two places for a work. Even if you want to sign a contract, it is Fan Yinmo who signs it with "ComicFuture", not Shi Qun.
Regardless of Fan Yinmo's intentions, this will indeed cause a lot of trouble for ComicFuture, and it will be difficult to solve.
From this point of view, Shen Xin supported "ComicFuture" with both hands to cut "No Demons in the World", and even, if Yu Chen was a little more ruthless, it would not be an exaggeration to take Fan Yinmo and Shi Qun to court.
But the reader's appeal is also reasonable, which reminds Shen Xin that there are many networks, and tj for various reasons, some can be avoided, such as the author's lazy cancer, and some are inevitable, such as the author has to be cut in half for his livelihood, but no matter what the reason, it is emotionally difficult for readers to accept.
Of course, if it's lazy cancer or livelihood, there may be a possibility to make up for it, but it is and. If the author dies, it will always become the regret of the reader.
As an author and reader, Shen Xin certainly understands this feeling, and he doesn't want "No Demon in the World" to leave the reader's field of vision in this way.
Because "There Are No Demons in the World" was cut in half, Shen Xin even felt that there was no possibility of a normal end to this comic.
This is a very hurtful thing for both cartoonists and readers.
