In the middle of the lake, bamboo pavilion.

Although the lake is not big, the water is clear and clear, and all kinds of river fish swim in the water, which is why it is also a good place for fishing.

Fan Yinmo caught a carp, put it in a bucket, and handed it to the waiter standing on the side.

"Braised red, and, two pots of black tea......" Fan Yinmo put away the fishing rod.

The waiter made a note and turned to leave.

"It's not bad here, right? Qiu Qian? Fan Yinmo got up, looked at Qiu Qian sitting at the square table, and asked in a low voice.

"It's fine."

Qiuqian looked around, and at the edge of the small lake, there was a fruit forest, lush and lush. According to the waiter, the fruit in the bowl was picked in the orchard.

I remembered that when she was in school, she often practiced sketching against fruits. In the blink of an eye, he has become a cartoonist.

Speaking of cartoonists, Qiu Qian naturally remembered "My Love is Different", with this comic, she won the Silver Brush Award that year, most of the prize money was given to Fan Yinmo, but the trophy remained in her residence.

Now, "My Love Story is Different" has been over for more than a month, but the new work has not been settled.

As for rest...... Please, that's the privilege of a top manga artist, she does make some money in her hands, and in the last month or so, My Love Story is Different has also brought her some income, but her inner anxiety is growing day by day.

"I'm sorry that when I came back from District 11, we didn't have many opportunities to meet, but I'm also very busy, on the one hand, I have to take care of "Doomsday Rescue", and at the same time, I have to discuss new works with Mr. Shi, so I don't have time to look for you. But, believe me, I've been waiting for a good time, just like today, the wind is mild, and looking at the clear sky, the mood will be quite relaxed. ”

"Wait, you said you cooperated with Teacher Shi? Which Shi-sensei? Qiu Qian didn't react for a while.

"Which other teacher Shi? Of course, it's the original teacher Shi Qun of "The Demon King's Tutor". Now, "The Demon King's Tutor" is being read and serialized, and it is temporarily ranked first. Fan Yinmo said with a smile.

"I've seen that Yishu Culture invited Xueda, which is really enviable." Qiu Qian's eyes were glowing with small stars.

Although she won the Silver Brush Award, she is not a first-line in the comic circle. Snow is a famous illustrator who doesn't need trophies to prove himself.

"Huh? So, do you know Teacher Shi Qun? ”

After half a circle of brains, Qiu Qian remembered the matter of Shi Qun.

"yes, yes." Fan Yinmo sat on the other side of the square table, holding his cheeks with one hand, "In District 11, we are classmates, we have a good relationship, we must support each other when we go out, otherwise, it is easy to become withdrawn." I'll introduce you to Mr. Shi Qun later. ”

"Hmm. Xiaomo, why did you call me and Teacher Shi Qun over this time? Qiu Qian held the cup and whispered.

"For two things. Some time ago, there was a short comic that was very popular, called "The Sky of Basketball", have you heard of it? ”

"Of course, Mr. Shen Zheng's short story. In fact, not only is the color version very good-looking, but the black and white version is also very eye-catching. Compared with the two versions, I prefer the black and white version, probably because I am also drawing the black and white version. By the way, what does the two have to do with each other? ”

"Mr. Snow was originally an expert in coloring, but now that he has been surpassed by "Basketball Sky", he felt a little uncomfortable, so he thought about discussing countermeasures with us."

"Wait...... Wait a minute, you're saying, Teacher Snow will be coming over too? Qiu Qian was surprised.

"That's right. Shi Qun and Teacher Snow will come over together......" Fan Yinmo visited his phone on the table, "and he will be there in 10 minutes." ”

"I see. By the way, there should be one more thing? Can you tell me? ”

Qiu Qian was a little apprehensive, after winning the "Silver Brush" award, she felt that there was a gap between her and Fan Yinmo, and after returning to Hongchuan, Fan Yinmo did not contact him, which deepened her speculation, so that when asking, she would be cautious.

"Absolutely." Fan Yinmo was sitting precariously, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I'm going to start a studio, I don't know if you're interested?" ”

"Studio?" Qiu Qian's face was puzzled, "Didn't you have an assistant before?" ”

Cartoonists and assistants naturally form a studio.

"Tsk." Fan Yinmo waved his hand, "Of course it's not like that...... How could I say that pattern? By that, I mean a cooperative group of manga artists. ”

Qiu Qian scratched her head, even more puzzled.

"Now, there is a good side to the domestic comic environment, for example, there are more online platforms, which makes the serialization of comics easier, and there will be no large-scale halving works, which is the advantage of comics, but at the same time, there are also disadvantages.

"For example, if you've drawn so many comics and you've won a 'silver brush' with My Love Story is Different, you haven't been able to read one-on-one drafts from editors until now, right? And even in the works there are'Ray. You don't know how to avoid it, do you? ”

Qiu Qian nodded again and again.

The serialization of comics on the Internet, in a sense, lowers the threshold for creators, so that many cartoonists can have the opportunity to show their works one by one through the online platform, but then it also brings a problem. Because there are too many authors who publish comics through online platforms, many people do not have the opportunity to get the guidance of the editor, so they can only figure it out on their own.

This causes two consequences: first, the polishing of the name is not meticulous enough; Second, the strength of cartoonists has been limited.

When Qiu Qian painted "My Love Story is Different", Fan Yinmo provided the name, but the polishing of that name was actually not delicate enough, and she often had a headache.

"So, what do you mean......"

"I'll hire some professional editors to look at your manuscript, and I'll even do a training course. Also, when creating a name, the assistant is generally relatively idle, and only when it is necessary to create comics, will it be busy, so the usage rate of the assistant will be low. But after the establishment of the work, this situation will be alleviated, and even in order to rush the manuscript, there can be a situation of 'borrowing' assistants. For cartoonists who don't have assistants, the studio can also be responsible for finding them ...... When negotiating contracts, we can also negotiate with the platform to help cartoonists get better profits. ”

"And what do you want?" Qiu Qian said nervously.

"If it's you, I'll only get 30%."

30% gain?

Qiu Qian was startled, and then quickly calmed down.

This proportion is indeed not low, but considering that the editor reads the manuscript alone, training, and some other expenses, it is not unacceptable.
