Chapter 622: Invitation
Wang Wenhong came to the studio, which was expected by Shen Xin, but Yan Fei's coming was unexpected by Shen Xin, after all, she had only been here in the morning.
"Brother Wang, Sister Yan, the two of you come together, it's not very common, what's the matter?" When the two of them entered the room, Shen Xin also sat up straight.
"Of course there is." Wang Wenhong smiled and took the tea handed by Xi Muhan, took a sip, put it on the coffee table, looked at Shen Xin who was drinking porridge, and said, "You drink first...... Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll squirt. ”
"What is so cautious?" Shen Xin was startled, hurriedly sat up straight, pulled out a piece of paper, wiped his lips, and looked at Wang Wenhong curiously.
"From today on, Yan Fei is your editor-in-charge...... She is in charge of your and Xiaohan's work. Wang Wenhong took a deep breath, the smile on his face was reluctant, "Teacher Shen, thank you for cooperating for so long." ”
"Huh? No, you're not my editor-in-charge? Why? Shen Xin's mind didn't turn around, and he looked confused, "Is that what the magazine meant?" Mr. Shang transferred you away? ”
"Brother Wang, shouldn't you be angry because I said those heavy words, right? I didn't mean it, I was also anxious at the time......" Xi Muhan's expression tightened, and he quickly apologized.
"Of course not. My contract was due to expire in November, and Mr. Shang was also asking me to consider renewing my contract. At first, I was a little hesitant and couldn't make up my mind. Actually, I don't want to stay any longer, the platform of "Comic Future" is very large, but there is no opportunity for development, and the only thing I can't let go of is Mr. Shen and "Steel Refining......
"After this accident, I suddenly realized that I had a lot of constraints, for example, I thought too much about things when there was a conflict between the magazine and the author. If I had persevered a little longer, maybe you wouldn't have gotten sick. No one said it, but I knew that I had a lot of responsibility. Wang Wenhong explained.
Shen Xin bowed slightly, the reason for this editorial change was finally known.
"I still have a question, are you the editor in charge of other cartoonists, or are you leaving?" Shen Xin asked.
"Resignation." Wang Wenhong sighed.
"Resignation!?" Xi Muhan shouted out in a lost voice, "Brother Wang, why are you ......?"
"The reason has already been said." Wang Wenhong explained.
"Submitted your resignation?" Shen Xin asked.
"Hmm."
"Approved?"
"Approved."
"When are you leaving?"
"Handover the job. If it's going to be soon, maybe in a week, right? ”
Shen Xin nodded, held his chin, and did not make a sound.
Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin in surprise, he and Wang Wenhong have been cooperating for six or seven years, he should be very nervous or anxious, but now it seems that it is very bland.
"Brother Wang, what are your plans next?" After pondering for about half a minute, Shen Xin suddenly spoke.
"Nope. After all, after working for so long, I am indeed a little tired. I want to take a break for a while and then watch "Steel" end. Wang Wenhong's tone was lost.
Shen Xin nodded.
"I see...... Xiaohan, you can chat with Sister Yan for a while, Brother Wang, let's go upstairs and chat. Shen Xin pointed to the second floor and said.
"Okay, even if it's a farewell."
Shen Xin smiled, didn't make a sound, and took the lead in standing up, and Wang Wenhong followed him towards the second floor.
Yan Fei saw that the two of them had gone up to the second floor, so she lowered her voice and said, "I heard that you and Teacher Shen are honest?" ”
"Huh? Well. Xi Muhan bowed his head slightly and lowered his head.
"My aunt, you're finally done. I was on the sidelines, looking at it in a hurry. ”
"You know?" Xi Muhan covered his mouth, looking incredulous.
"It's easy to guess, you are twenty-three or four now, and you haven't found a boyfriend yet, it must be because of Shen Xin...... Hey, when are you going to get married? ”
Xi Muhan's face was slightly red, "I haven't said ...... yet"
"Hold on, you have to eat the meat to your stomach before you can rest assured." Yan Fei reminded.
"Hmm...... I think it would be nice if I could collaborate with Brother Xin on a comic. Xi Muhan was a little twisted and pinched, which was not natural.
"What does Teacher Shen mean?"
"No, I can do it anytime he wants." Xi Muhan hurriedly said.
"Regardless of you, anyway, the two of you can do it yourself, right?" Yan Fei glanced upstairs, but saw that Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong were already sitting on both sides of the workbench.
I don't know what the two of them will talk about.
Shen Xin leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Wang Wenhong opposite, "Brother Wang, do you know what image you are in my heart?" ”
Wang Wenhong shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"Clever. So, I don't go around with you, how about you come to my studio? Shen Xin got straight to the point.
Wang Wenhong's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head and said: "Yan Fei's level is okay, and the completion of "Steel Forge" is also very high, there won't be too many problems, I'll stay...... It's not very useful. ”
"Of course it's not for you to read the script." Shen Xin shook his head, a little uneasy, and asked, "You really left your job?" ”
"Really." Wang Wenhong cried, "I'm leaving Comic Future this week." ”
"That's good, there are some things I can finally say. The era of the big Internet is approaching, and you should also know that webtoons are the trend of the future, and when an era comes, many people will be involved in it, and I am no exception. In fact, I'm looking forward to the advent of the Internet age. For many reasons, the Internet age is not my luck now, but it won't last long. ”
"You're saying I'm in charge of the network? There is a magazine! Wang Wenhong waved his hand and said, "Although you didn't sign a contract with the magazine for webtoons, the copyright should ultimately belong to "Comic Future". ”
"Brother Wang, after you hear the next words, you will treat them as if you didn't hear them." Shen Xin said.
Wang Wenhong saw Shen Xin's serious expression, and knew that his next words should never have been said to others, which made Wang Wenhong feel curious.
What exactly does Shen Xin want.
"I'm going to keep it a secret." Wang Wenhong is colorful.
"I want to jump out." Shen Xin said.
"Huh?" The muscles on Wang Wenhong's face jumped twice, and Shen Xin's words surprised him a little.
was expecting a big surprise, but it turned out that Shen Xin's thoughts were too ordinary.
"Jumping out of Comic Future? How many? Or Manga Fly? ”
"Neither." Shen Xin shook his head, "I want to jump out of the rules." You're the editor in charge of Comic Future, so you should know that Comic Future's contract has an exclusivity agreement. If I'm serialized in Comic Future, then, I can't be serialized somewhere else at the same time, do you think it's fair? Cartoonists are not employees of the platform, but only collaborators of the platform. ”
This is the most criticized contract clause by cartoonists, magazines can cut serialized comics at will, but cartoonists cannot contribute to other magazines during the contract period, and even after being cut in half, even if they cannot be accepted by "Comic Future", they still cannot submit articles to other magazines.
Although during the contract period, the creator can receive the contract money, but this bonus is not much.
This rule is like a chain, tightly tethering the creator, even if it is Shen Xin, it is no exception.
"You want to break out of this rule?"
"It's more than that." Shen Xin shook his head and said seriously, "It is from many rules, including copyright." ”
