It will be very difficult for Shen Xin to jump out of the existing contract of "Comic Future". The other party will not let him, break the rules at will.

But it is obvious that Shen Xin doesn't just want to jump out of the contract, or rather, the rules he wants to jump out of are not just the exclusive agreement in the contract, he also wants to get more.

Wang Wenhong was overjoyed when he heard Shen Xin's thoughts, but then calmed down: "Comic Future will not agree, if it makes such a start, other cartoonists will follow suit." ”

"If you don't agree, you can't let them ...... It's the era of the big network. Shen Xin nodded, not denying Wang Wenhong's words, "Although "Comic Future" is powerful, in the area of webtoons, they are not as good as Duoman. ”

"That's ......" Wang Wenhong rubbed his chin and fell into thought, "but even in the era of the big Internet, they won't agree to let you jump out of the framework of the contract and give up the copyright of the comics." You're still thinking of them too simply. ”

"I won the previous bet with Bao Jiyi." Shen Xin reminded.

"That's not good, Bao Dong doesn't dare to let go." Wang Wenhong shook his head and said.

Shen Xin raised his head, "So, give up?" ”

"Not really." Wang Wenhong shook his fingers, "You have a good card in your hand now." ”

"Steelcast?"

"That's right." Wang Wenhong nodded and said, ""Steel Refining" not only has a high reputation in China, but also has a high reputation abroad. Do you know how much Steelforge Volume 18 is selling right now? ”

Shen Xin shook his head.

There is no doubt that the sales of "Steelcore" will also decline due to the influence of the D version.

"I can't tell you directly, but the sales are positive. Of course, considering the D version, it is certainly not as popular as expected, but it should also satisfy the management. Wang Wenhong said.

"What's your idea?"

"Trying to raise Steel Forge and increase its popularity, and at the same time raise your value, and when you can be sure that it can change a magazine, put forward the conditions, so that you have the best chance of success." Wang Wenhong said.

Shen Xin rubbed his chin, reflected on the pros and cons, and shook his head again.

"You have a point, but I think it's better to have a showdown now."

"Why?" Wang Wenhong was puzzled.

"The factors you mentioned are indeed the safest way, but now is the best time, in every sense of the word."

The emergence of the D version,The traditional magazine industry has suffered a heavy blow,As a traditional comic magazine giant,"Comic Future" also felt great pressure,And its own app is not very good,The revenue and market share are far less than that of Duoman.com,This is a result,When the D version appears,"Comic Future"Sales must decline,If there is no masterpiece like "Steel","Comic Future" basically loses its current position.

The most coincidental thing is that "Hunting the Abyss" is also coming to an end.

The current situation is not quite the same as when Wang Yunze left "Comic Future".

At the time, Comic Future was not threatened by the D version, and was carried by Steelforge and Hunting the Abyss, so even with turmoil, Comic Future was able to hold on.

"Comic Future" can refrigerate "The Legend of the Dragon King" and not promote "The Legend of the Dragon King", but now, they don't have the strength to refrigerate "Steel Chain" - the No. 1 magazine in the country, it can't even have a top-level royal road comic.

There may be many unsafe places in choosing this showdown, but timing is also very important, if "Comic Future" is relieved, Shen Xin's situation will not be much better than now.

"That said, your injury isn't necessarily a bad thing." Wang Wenhong suddenly realized.

The two-month rest period gave Shen Xin more time to observe the situation.

"Seon lost his horse, right?" Shen Xin said with a smile.

"Then you asked me to come here for ......"

Once again, the focus is back to the previous question.

"Operation of copyright. Including the cooperation and development of animation, games, film and television copyrights. Shen Xin explained.

"I don't know much about that." Wang Wenhong was a little worried.

"If you don't understand, you can learn, and besides, you have a lot of ideas, and others are not easy to deceive you." Shen Xin is not shy about it, "To be honest, I care more about the quality of the work than about the benefits, whether it is animation or games." If there are magazines caught in the middle, they may think more about their own interests. Therefore, it is also a way of thinking to hand over the copyright to someone who understands comics. At least, the other side will not be shoddy. ”

Wang Wenhong nodded, it can be explained in this way.

He could understand Shen Xin's thoughts.

Even if he is frank with the magazine and the magazine makes a concession decision, Shen Xin's preferred platform may still be "Comic Future".

What he wants is not better treatment, but freedom, not being bound by a contract, and the privilege of jumping out of the rules of major platforms.

If it were a normal day, it would have been too difficult to achieve this idea. But the Internet era and the emergence of version D gave Shen Xin the opportunity to try.

However, this also brings a difficult problem, the operation of copyright.

"I've said everything that should be said, how about it, are you interested?" Shen Xin said with a smile.

"Then you need to ask? Of course you have to participate in such an interesting thing! The corners of Wang Wenhong's mouth curled slightly, without thinking, "You don't consider creating a company?" A lot of things will be more convenient. Even, some copyrights, can be developed by yourself. ”

"Not considered." Shen Xin shook his head, "I'm a cartoonist, and I make a living from comics. For manga artists, the most suitable group is not a large company, but a studio. The main creator, the assistant, and the person who contacts the external company no longer thinks about superfluous things, and has only one purpose, which is to make a good 'product'. So, you'd better be mentally prepared that we probably won't be doing too much. ”

"But we can make good work." Wang Wenhong touched his nose and was motivated.

"That's it." Shen Xin gave a thumbs up.

"Although dealing with other people can be a headache, it would be a good thing if Mr. Shen's comics could be known by more people." Wang Wenhong rubbed his hands, which was more interesting and rewarding than being a responsible editor.

"By the way, in case it is serialized on two platforms at the same time, please act as an editor at that time." Shen Xin stood up and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Dual-platform serialization? You still don't want to be too tired, right? Wang Wenhong remembered that Shen Xin still had some inflammation in his stomach, and he was a little worried.

"A weekly, plus a monthly magazine, shouldn't be a big problem, besides, I'm just casually saying it, and I probably don't have so much time. But to increase the number of assistants, now there are only three people, which is too difficult. ”

"After I leave the job, I'll help you look at the assistant." Wang Wenhong nodded.

"And the house." Shen Xin reminded.

"Huh?"

"This place is a little smaller, and I want to change to a bigger place." Shen Xin looked around.

"No matter how big it is, it's only a villa." Wang Wenhong said.

"Then change the villa." Shen Xin thought about it, after drawing comics for so long, buying a villa in the suburbs, should be able to do it, right?

"Before I left my job, you already arranged a job." Wang Wenhong smiled bitterly.

"It's not that you don't get paid." Shen Xin rolled his eyes and walked downstairs.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
