Authorization and entrustment, if you just look at the two words, many people don't feel deeply, but as a creator, the two are very different.

If it was really a buyout, even if Shen Xin felt that Wei Mao was very aggrieved, he didn't have much to do.

The contract was signed by Wei Mao, and no one could change anything.

"It's understandable that cartoonists support Wei Mao, right?" Shen Xin nodded.

"Of course, the results of "Full House" are obviously so good, but they can only get this little money, how can other cartoonists understand? It's not in pressure. Squeeze cartoonists? Xi Muhan clenched his fists and was filled with righteous indignation.

Shen Xin glanced at Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei, the attitudes of these two people were quite intriguing.

Yan Fei's expression was a little hesitant, and he should agree with Xi Muhan's words, while Wang Wenhong was holding a teacup, just caring about drinking water, and his expression was relatively indifferent.

"Brother, should we also post a Weibo?" Xi Muhan asked.

"Huh?" Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, puzzled, "Why?" ”

"This kind of thing is reprehensible, right? Moreover, many people on the Internet also hope that Brother Xin will express his opinions. ”

"That's it......" Shen Xin was a little helpless.

As long as people are in society, they will encounter situations where they have to express their positions.

Take him as an example, whether he says it or not, it's actually not appropriate.

"Brother Wang, what is your attitude?" Shen Xin's gaze fell on Wang Wenhong.

"Well, I think it's better not to be involved in this." After Wang Wenhong put down the teacup, he expressed his opinion.

Xi Muhan took a breath, his eyes a little dissatisfied.

Sure enough, there should have been a conflict of opinions between the two people just now.

"Tell me why?"

"Contract. Regardless of whether Mr. Wei Mao was wronged or not, it still depends on the content of the contract. If the terms were negotiated at the time, and now they feel that the comics are starting to make money, and the cartoonists think that they are famous, so they start asking for higher remuneration, and even use public opinion to put pressure on the other party, then, what about the contract? Isn't the signed contract just a blank slate? ”

"That's Mr. Wei's work......," Xi retorted.

"Xiaohan, what do you say? Teacher Shen has protected you too well, so there are some situations that you should never have considered. For example, if a rich man comes up with an idea for a comic, but he doesn't know how to draw a comic, he hires a cartoonist to draw his idea and pays the cartoonist accordingly. So, you say, whose work is this work for? Wang Wenhong asked.

"Huh? This ......"

Xiao Han didn't know what to say for a while, and she hadn't thought about it.

"Yes...... However, "A Warm Full House" should be Mr. Wei Mao's own, right? ”

"Yes, but it doesn't make much difference. Rich people say, I have a dream of becoming a cartoonist, I give you money, I commission you to create a manga like this, I pay for the manuscript, and you can draw it until I think it's OK. Who's this work, you say? ”

"I ...... This is somewhat similar to a normal serialization. ”

"It's still a little different. Ordinary serialization, whether it makes money or not, is borne by the cartoonist, what happened to Mr. Zuohara, haven't you forgotten? But whether this kind of work loses money or not is borne by the person who pays for it, and the cartoonist only needs to be responsible for drawing the comics. ”

Xi Muhan's face was flushed because of excitement, and she found that she couldn't argue with Wang Wenhong, and after thinking for a long time, she said: "In the cartoonist of "Comic Future", the manuscript fee alone is almost 500 yuan a page. ”

"My eldest lady ......" Wang Wenhong laughed helplessly, "Do you think it will be easy to serialize in "Comic Future"? There are only 20 comics that can be serialized, and they are basically the top 50 comics in China, and these cartoonists are a group of people who stand at the top of the comics industry. How many newcomers will get this opportunity? Besides, it takes half a year for a newcomer to debut in a short story to be serialized in a magazine, how to calculate the living expenses during this period? Not to mention that someone can't serialize it for a year or two, do you really remember what happened to Mr. Zuo Yuan? ”

Shen Xin rubbed his forehead, Zuo Yuan was really unlucky, as a counterexample, he was mentioned twice by Wang Wenhong.

Xi Muhan turned his head and looked at Shen Xin, "Brother, what do you mean?" Teacher Ye has expressed his position. ”

"He was originally a big mouth, and he said everything, but I haven't posted a Weibo for half a year." Shen Xin couldn't cry or laugh, "Besides, he is a cartoonist, and it is understandable to stand on the side of Mr. Wei Mao." I said directly that no matter which side you are on, it is not a good choice. ”

"Huh?" Xi Muhan looked puzzled.

Shen Xin rubbed his face, "Sometimes, how emotions are is one thing, but we have to look backwards." I remember correctly, this person named Wei Mao should be a cartoonist who has suddenly become popular in the past two years, right? ”

"It seems like I recorded five shows last year." Yan Fei recalled.

"That's it, Xiaohan, guess how much money he has to give to TV stations and media companies for recording these five programs? With his 500 yuan per page, I'm afraid he can't afford this money, right? Do you really think that his manuscript fee is only 500 per page? It's really not, you still have to see how many resources are thrown on him. From an obscure, even a well-known cartoonist, to one of the more popular cartoonists in China, he must have spent a lot of money behind him, even higher than his manuscript fee, have you counted this money? ”

Xi Muhan's mouth opened, but he didn't speak.

From a third-tier cartoonist, he quickly became popular and became a first-line cartoonist, and it took a lot of money just to record a show.

From this point of view, Wei Mao's benefits in "A Warm House" are not only the manuscript fee.

"Let me say something more realistic, if Wei Mao hadn't signed such a contract, he wouldn't have had so many opportunities to appear on the camera, and he wouldn't have been able to become popular in two years. The more famous this comic is, the more money the people behind Wei Mao make, so the other party will throw money at Wei Mao. Shen Xin added.

Xi Muhan nodded, if you think about this piece, Wei Mao has indeed gained a lot of things.

"The reason why I can't post on Weibo is actually not limited to this. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the person who signed a contract with Wei Mao signed more than just Wei Mao as a cartoonist? Shen Xin asked.

This time, even Wang Wenhong was stunned, he didn't think that there were other cartoonists like Wei Mao, who signed the same contract with that person.

However, it should be a normal operation for multiple cartoonists to be signed, after all, the person who negotiated with Wei Mao was not sure that Wei Mao's comics would be popular - even Wang Wenhong, who has many years of experience in comic creation, should not make a guarantee - finding a few more alternatives is the way to improve the fault tolerance rate.

"If there were a lot of comic artists who were able to serialize in Comic Future, many manga artists would definitely choose Comic Future, but Comic Future only has 20 serialization slots. If the cartoonist can't break even if he or she is serialized in a webtoon, he or she may not be able to make it through. At this time, there is a studio that can provide a stable income, not to mention that it will make people a lot of money, but at least it can ensure a normal life, you say, will these people choose to agree to sign a contract? Once these comics can't make money, the other party will not only have to pay a large amount of manuscript fees, but also the copyright of these comics will be smashed in their hands.

"Even, you can imagine that the manuscript fees received by these cartoonists may be part of the royalties and copyright income of "Full House"? What about the lives of these people? Who will think about their livelihood? Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

Xi Muhan was also stunned, not knowing how to answer.

"If I don't support Wei Mao, Wei Mao is very aggrieved, he gave everything for this comic, and he doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. If I support Wei Mao, I am sure that Wei Mao is right, some cartoonists may be forced to suspend this model, and at that time, they will face the choice of platform, and they will have at least a three-month blank period for new works, and even their livelihoods will be affected. The lessons of Zuo Yuan's past are vivid. Shen Xin sighed.

"Teacher, you're also afraid of this situation, so you're reluctant to cooperate with others, right?" Yan Fei asked.

"yes. People will quarrel with each other for the sake of interests. Shen Xin shook his head, "There is no right or wrong interest, how to solve this matter still depends on the two parties." ”

"We won't express our opinion on this matter for the time being?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"The two protagonists haven't appeared yet, what are we anxious about? Who knows in what direction this thing will go? Even if you eat melons, you have to eat them to the end. If the two sides finally reconcile, won't those who are in a hurry to take sides be stupid? Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

Wang Wenhong, Yan Fei and Xi Muhan had a black line and couldn't say a word for a long time.

If the two sides can really sit down and talk again, it may be embarrassing for those who express their positions early, right?
