Chapter 647: Results
Gambling is like playing football, where one player answers and then kicks the ball to the other.
This time, Bao Jiyi questioned Shen Xin's request on the grounds that the double opening may lead to a decline in the quality of the work.
Needless to say, Comic Future's current achievements, as well as its own qualities, are arguably Comic Future's most successful comics.
However, if Shen Xin is double-opened, his energy and physical strength will cause the work to decline.
In the state of weekly changes, cartoonists are often in a state of energy overdraft, and the plot may have unreasonable plots under the time limit, which will lead to logical bugs in the plot.
Draw two books at the same time?
If you don't do it, the plot will be strung together.
Bao Jiyi's worries are not groundless, in reality, there may indeed be these problems.
Seeing Shen Xin's expression of slight hesitation, Bao Jiyi's heart moved, and he hit the railway while it was hot: "On the one hand, "Steel Refining" is on fire, you should seize this opportunity, keep in shape, and not be impetuous; On the other hand, if your next manga's score drops because of the double opening, both Comic Future and you will suffer. You don't want to suffer the loss of the reputation you have so hard to accumulate, do you? ”
Shen Xin nodded, "I understand." ”
Bao Jiyi's face eased, "I knew that Teacher Shen would definitely be very thoughtful, young people should not be too anxious, there will be opportunities in the future." ”
The corners of Shen Xin's mouth turned up, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I understand the difficulties of magazines, I know that Comic Future doesn't need a failed work, and you don't believe I can draw two comics at the same time...... Otherwise, the next manga, I'll serialize it in other magazines, and you can see how it goes. If you're satisfied, we'll talk about cooperation in the next paragraph. ”
The smile on Bao Jiyi's face instantly condensed, and Shang Haozhi was also dumbfounded.
Shen Xin's words basically announced that the first negotiation had failed, and there should be no result today.
Bao Jiyi's face turned pale, and he immediately stood up from the sofa, nodded at Shen Xin, and sneered: "Well done." ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Shen Xin also stood up and chuckled.
"No regrets?" Bao Jiyi said coldly.
Shen Xin shook his head.
"That's good."
Bao Jiyi sneered and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Shen Xin again.
"By the way, Dong Bao, there are some things I want to explain in advance, if you wait until other platforms negotiate with me, you still want to talk about it, I may only give the comic copyright of "Comic Future" Huaxia, and all the overseas copyrights will be recovered."
Bao Jiyi turned his head and looked at Shen Xin in surprise, Shang Haozhi also showed a look of horror, Yan Fei's face changed slightly, and then he lowered his head thoughtfully.
"There is not much difference between a foreign starter and a domestic starter, right?" Shen Xin explained.
When Bao Jiyi heard this, his brain hurt a little, he always thought that there were only a few domestic platforms as competitors, but he forgot that there were also comic magazines in District 11.
The results of "Steel Refining" in District 11 are not much worse than those in China, and they are also the pillars of "Young Leap".
During the period when "Steel" was suspended, Murakami called more than once to ask when "Shonen Leap" would resume publication.
With "Chess Soul" and "Steel Chain", Shen Xin has also become a pillar-level cartoonist in District 11, even if he doesn't consider "Young Leap", he doesn't have to worry about finding a magazine in District 11 to receive his comics.
What other cartoonists in China may not be able to do, Shen Xin may not be able to do.
Miscalculated...... Miscalculated!
At this moment, Bao Jiyi realized how much initiative Shen Xin held in front of him.
"Mr. Shang, I hope that "Steel Refining" can be serialized soon, please." Shen Xin turned his head to look at Shang Haozhi, who was a little confused, and said softly.
Shang Haozhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Shen Xin is already putting pressure on him and "Comic Future".
If the original manuscript of "Steel Refining" is suppressed and not released, it is strange that Shen Xin has no opinion.
This time, Bao Jiyi did not object, just nodded and walked downstairs quickly, followed by Shang Haozhi.
"You're too rigid, aren't you?" Yan Fei whispered.
"No way, someone has to do something." Shen Xin shrugged.
Yan Fei sighed, didn't speak again, and could only walk downstairs.
Her current identity is very embarrassing, on the one hand, she can't get too close to Shen Xin, and on the other hand, Bao Jiyi won't fully trust her.
Yan Fei can only do her best to do her job well.
Not long after Bao Jiyi and his party left, Xi Muhan pushed the door and returned to the studio.
When I went up to the second floor, I saw Shen Xin who was painting, and whispered: "Brother, I saw Sister Yan and Mr. Shang at the elevator just now. Are they coming for you? ”
"yes."
"They agreed?"
"Nope." Shen Xin shook his head.
"What then?" Xi Muhan looked nervous.
Shen Xin suddenly stopped his pen and looked up at Wang Wenhong opposite, "Brother Wang, how is your Japanese?" ”
Wang Wenhong shook his head, "I just remembered the fifty-tone diagram." ”
Shen Xin rolled his eyes, in terms of Japanese, Wang Wenhong is still a "baby".
"By the way, Mr. Shen, what you just said is true that you started in District 11?"
"Isn't negotiation just about who is more competent? When he loses, he accepts my terms, and when I lose, I sign the contract. ”
"That'...... Did they refuse? Wang Wenhong asked.
"Let's talk to another magazine...... Brother Wang, this time I was determined to serialize the next comic on Weibo, and negotiated with "Comic Future". Shen Xin said.
Wang Wenhong nodded solemnly, "Understood, if "Comic Future" doesn't budge, I will take apart the comic copyright of your next book and sell it." ”
"I hope you can do it."
Shen Xin said with a smile, what he said just now was more about putting pressure on Bao Jiyi.
Tear apart the comic copyright? It's still very difficult.
……
Bao Jiyi returned to the office, poured himself a glass of red wine, and drank it all.
As the aftertaste of red wine disappeared in his throat, the anger in Bao Jiyi's heart gradually subsided.
"What do you think should be done?" Bao Jiyi turned to look at Shang Haozhi.
Shang Haozhi spread his hands, "It's not up to me to decide, but I don't think Mr. Shen should consider other terms." Either agree or let him go. ”
"But, it's so aggrieved. If someone poachs him, we may be able to take a look at the other party's conditions...... He gave us not essay questions, but multiple-choice questions. Bao Jiyi said depressedly.
"The current situation is better than when Wang Yunze left, right? Wang Wenhong, however, did not even leave us a chance to negotiate. Shang Haozhi complained.
"Yes." Bao Jiyi sat weakly on the sofa.
"Do you agree, or do you refuse?" Shang Haozhi asked, "Why don't we negotiate with him when "Steel Forge" is almost over?" ”
"Do you think that if other platforms look for him, he will really give up the overseas copyright?" Bao Jiyi asked rhetorically.
"Try it?" Shang Haozhi asked tentatively.
Bao Jiyi rubbed his forehead and didn't make a sound.
The office was silent for five or six minutes, without a sound.
"Agree...... Let's get his next work in my hands first. Bao Jiyi sighed, "However, we must find more excellent cartoonists, otherwise, we will be too passive." ”
Shang Haozhi laughed dryly.
There are cartoonists, and there are excellent cartoonists, but cartoonists like Shen Xin are really hard to find.
