ON THE THIRD DAY AFTER YU CHEN CAME TO SHEN XIN'S STUDIO, THE MATTER OF "SLAM DUNK" WAS STILL NOT RESOLVED.

Shen Xin came out of his studio, took a can of coffee, came to the rest area in the work area, sat by the window, and flipped through the app.

"The Demon King's Tutor" has come to an end, and Snow's extremely strong artwork and excellent name have made this comic very popular.

Han Ye's "Heavenly Machine" is gaining momentum, and after the end of the full-color version of "DN" and "The Gate of Destiny Stone", it topped the light reading click list.

In addition, there are some comics that also show good potential, and even some of the comics that were kicked out from "Comic Future" have also been transferred to light reading after communicating with the original author.

To a certain extent, this operation ensures that the comic artists who have been cut in half can continue to create and get income as long as they are willing, and at the same time, it also gives all readers a signal that "Comic Future" is still the best comic platform in China.

Shen Xin clicked on the light reading app, not to read these comics, but to read the comics authorized by "Shonen Leap".

Specifically, there are 4 films, "The Gate of Eternal Life", "Young Exorcist", "The Strongest Pitcher" and "The Age of Steam".

During the drawing of "SLAM DUNK", Shen Xin was busy most of the time, and most of these comics saved up to ten words and read them in one go, which is often referred to as "raising books".

Under normal circumstances, as long as you find an author with a good reputation, there will be no "TJ" situation, after all, cartoonists are not alone in creating comics, in addition to the editor-in-charge of the app, but also involve assistants - they are responsible for the assistant, otherwise, they may be "marked" by the assistant, or even blacklisted, and it will be difficult to find an assistant in the future.

The assistant is also to earn a living, and it is impossible to follow the cartoonist who skips work at any time, otherwise, the remuneration will not be guaranteed.

Shen Xin had just flipped over "The Gate of Eternal Life" and "Young Exorcist", Yan Fei put two glasses of orange juice on the round table, and pushed one in front of Shen Xin.

"Look at your opponent's work?"

"Huh? Well. Shen Xin threw the coffee can into the trash, picked up the orange juice, and took another sip, "The Gate of Eternal Life" is about to exert its strength, and the rhythm of "Young Exorcist" is suddenly tightened, as if it is ready to take advantage of the momentum of animation to rush to the top of the list. IT'S A BIT DIFFICULT FOR SLAM DUNK TO MAINTAIN ITS CURRENT STRENGTH. ”

Yan Fei smiled bitterly.

"SLAM DUNK" has no animation, and there is no other promotion in District 11, and the only thing that is good for "SLAM DUNK" is that due to the conflict between "SLAM DUNK" and "Shonen Leap", the popularity of "SLAM DUNK" has been raised, but the price is also heavy.

If the two sides can't reach a settlement, "Shonen Leap" is expected to abandon "SLAM DUNK" after this heat declines.

"Comic Future" is reluctant, but "Shonen Leap" is not necessarily reluctant.

Yan Fei glanced at Shen Xin, saw him bow his head and began to read "The Strongest Pitcher", and said curiously: "Teacher, you don't seem to be very worried." ”

"Why aren't you worried? However, worry doesn't change much. Shen Xin looked up at Yan Fei, "Cartoonists, or authors, are difficult to compete with the platform. I just want to bring out the strengths of the work, but the platform has its own considerations. As the saying goes, 'you have your plan, and the platform has other plans'. I'm already so hard, let alone other cartoonists? ”

Yan Fei nodded.

Having worked as an editor at New World, Manga Fly, and Comic Future, she has seen almost every comic magazine be the same, squeezing out the value of comics to the fullest.

Shen Xin can negotiate conditions with major platforms, and he has experienced more things along the way than other cartoonists have ever seen. He gritted his teeth and insisted every time, so that he could get along with the major platforms as much as possible.

"If we can unite with other cartoonists, we may be able to compete with the platform."

"Who is qualified to do that?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"You. Except for you, no one in the country has such great prestige, right? Yan Fei asked rhetorically.

Shen Xin shook his head, "Have you heard that sentence?" 'When the brave man kills the dragon, he becomes the dragon himself'. The reason why I was able to stay awake was because I didn't sit in that position. ”

It's not uncommon for a manga artist to become the boss of a company, and eventually, he will have disputes with other manga artists.

As long as there is a conflict of interest, contradictions are inevitable.

Yan Fei took a sip of orange juice and wanted to refute it, but she couldn't find an example, and after thinking for a long time, she remembered what Xiaoli had said and said, "I heard that someone in Hongchuan has already started to work with other cartoonists. If they can finally cooperate with the platform on an equal footing, perhaps, there will be a saying. ”

"What?" Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, "There is still such a thing?" ”

"yes. I heard that the studio has already cooperated with some second-tier magazines and websites, and several cartoonists have even made a name for themselves...... In the future, it may be worth looking forward to, right? ”

Shen Xin pursed his lips, turned the cup, and looked at the pad again.

If there is a flaw in this method, he has no evidence, after all, the cartoonist and the boss will definitely have a conflict of interest, but until the conflict comes out, these are all assumptions.

Shen Xin thought about it, but it was better not to speak.

Yan Fei saw that Shen Xin didn't say anything, thinking that he was speechless to refute, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"By the way, Brother Wang has been going to District 11 for two days, I don't know if he is going well now......" Shen Xin changed the topic.

"Well, he hasn't reached me yet...... Would you like to give him a call? Yan Fei was also a little worried.

"Forget it. Don't stress him up, not calling at least means there's no bad news, right? Shen Xin smiled, "Of course, the words between your husband and wife are not included." ”

Yan Fei's cheeks were slightly red and she turned her head.

……

"Ahh

Wang Wenhong suddenly sneezed, took a piece of paper, wiped off his nose, and hurriedly took a sip of hot coffee to warm up his body, and then his eyes fell on the screen again.

Two days ago, he came to District 11 with Ji Yinxuan, Xia Luo, Yu Chen and Shi Peixu.

As soon as I found the hotel, it started to rain, and it didn't stop for two days.

In the past two days, he, Ji Yinxuan, Xia Luo and Shi Peixu have been communicating with Orochi's president Tomita Lungbu, and finally finalized the animation of "The Gate of the Destiny Stone".

The four of them negotiated in the rain, he and Shi Peixu both had a little cold, Ji Yinxuan and Xia Luo were fine.

Tomorrow, the two girls will fly back to Hongchuan, and he will go to the editorial office of "Young Leap" with Yu Chen and Shi Peixu to start negotiations with Tachibana Shin about "SLAM DUNK".

Tonight, I have to sort out the materials to be used tomorrow, so Wang Wenhong is also very short of time, and after eating, he came to the hotel café with his notebook, and he didn't even have time to call back.

"Still busy?"

"yes." Wang Wenhong leaned on the back of the chair, looked up at Yu Chen, and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, it's not going to be easy." ”
