Chapter 910: Divergence
Toru Murakami and Chiren Kotani greeted Shen Xin.
Fortunately, with Yan Fei as the translator, the two sides can still communicate normally, but in terms of time, it will be a little slower.
"Teacher Shen, you also got up so early?"
After sitting down, Murakami Toru was the first to speak, but his eyes were fixed on the name in Shen Xin's hand.
"I was about to go to rest, but I didn't expect the two of you to come." Shen Xin smiled bitterly.
After Toru Murakami and Chimei Kotani heard Yan Fei's translation, they looked at Shen Xin again, and saw that his face was full of tiredness, and it didn't look like a disguise, so they felt respect.
"We also came in a hurry, I didn't expect to come over so soon, I can only say that Mr. Shen's short story is indeed very attractive." Murakami's perspective fell on the name again.
At this moment, his mind was full of what was in the name.
"So, we made a special trip this time to talk about Mr. Shen's new work...... We should still be able to cooperate, right? ”
Murakami also wanted to reminisce about the old days first, and then tactfully ask Shen Xin, of course, if Shen Xin took the initiative to mention it, it would be better.
But Twilight will be over soon, and he doesn't have time to put it off any longer.
If the two sides negotiate a contract before Da Dusk Xun arrives, of course, it is best, even if it is not negotiated, it is a good thing if some cooperation intentions can be reached.
"Editor-in-Chief Murakami, do you remember the last time we met, you mentioned the basis of cooperation?" Shen Xin asked.
"Yes." Toru Murakami nodded.
Shen Xin will not sign a contract exclusive system.
"What do you think?"
"Mr. Kotani and I thought about it carefully, you don't have to sign the exclusive contract system, but there must be two additional conditions."
Shen Xin rubbed his nose and covered his expression at the same time.
Murakami's words did not exceed Shen Xin's expectations, if the contract exclusive system of "Young Leap" was broken so easily, then he would not be able to wait for him to entangle with Murakami, someone would have done it a long time ago.
"You say."
"First, you can't mention in public that you didn't sign the contract, even by implication. After all, we have other cartoonists as well. If you don't agree to this, we're in a bad hands. Murakami stared at Shen Xin.
"OK, no."
Shen Xin didn't hesitate at all, and spoke directly, so that Yan Fei didn't react.
"I signed a contract for the work, not a deed of sale." Shen Xin looked at Yan Fei, "Translate this sentence as well." Also, if you two are tired, take a break first. Later, there will be 4 more magazines coming over, and if you have anything to say, let's discuss it together. ”
What does it have to do with me that you are embarrassed? If I want to agree, won't I be very embarrassed?
After Yan Fei translated Shen Xin's words, Murakami's expression tensed, and he instantly became ugly.
Shen Xin didn't look at him and Xiao Gu's expressions, and handed the name in his hand to Yan Fei, "Make two copies and put them in the file bag." We negotiate with which platform, and then hand over the name to the other party. ”
Shen Xin got up, came to the small studio inside, and woke up the sleeping Xi Muhan.
"What are the two of them doing?" Xi Muhan looked puzzled when he saw Murakami Toru and Xiaogu.
"Angry, huh?" Shen Xin smiled and nodded slightly to the two, said that he would go to rest first, and then left the studio.
&nbe, walking over to the photocopier, Toru Murakami sulked.
Obviously, he has already made concessions, why doesn't Shen Xin agree?
"What now? The Great Twilight is coming soon. China Kotani said close to Murakami's ear.
"That's not going to work either! If he casually says, how can we sign contracts with other authors? ”
"The other authors are not from Huaxia, what do you care about them?" China Kotani doesn't have a good airway.
Murakami snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth curled, "It's a big deal to release this comic." It is impossible for a magazine to go out of business because it does not serialize a manga. ”
He really wants to go back now, but this is Huaxia, not District 11. It's hard to come here, no matter how you say it, you have to listen to all the conditions of Shen Xin.
"Editor-in-chief, the collapse of a magazine may really be because there is no serialization of a certain comic, but "Shonen Leap" will not." Kotani corrected.
Murakami also understands these truths, but he is angry and a little uncomfortable.
"Last time...... If "DN" is serialized in "Shonen Leap", our situation may be slightly better. ”
Seeing that Murakami didn't make a sound, Kotani China muttered again.
"You're saying I made the wrong decision?" Murakami glared at Kotani, who immediately lowered his head.
"I'm not wrong, but we've lost not only the "DN" comic, but also the webtoon market that the manga has relied on "DN". I also know that "Young Leap" is completely okay and has the strength to reject Mr. Shen. However, if we refuse, we will not only lose this comic, but also let "Weekly Top" get Mr. Shen's new work, and from this point of view, we are equivalent to losing two comics. China Kotani muttered quietly.
"DN" was not serialized in "Shonen Leap", and in his opinion, it was indeed a mistake by Toru Murakami.
At that time, "Shonen Leap" was not without a chance, but because of its own carelessness, it was snatched away by the manga magazine.
Murakami rubbed his forehead, and his eyes fell on the name that Yan Fei was printing again.
&nbe, it's good to judge again, but unfortunately, the other party won't let him see it so easily.
"Ugh."
Murakami sighed heavily.
Yan Fei looked at the two people on the sofa, and she was also a little helpless.
If she were an editor, she would have understood Murakami's thoughts, and the magazine's first goal was to make money while ensuring its own interests.
But now that she is working for Shen Xin, she definitely hopes that Shen Xin will take the initiative in the negotiations.
To be honest, Shen Xin's request is very fair, and the two sides are just cooperating, not hiring. One party gives the manuscript, the other party pays the manuscript fee, and that's it.
Therefore, Shen Xin only needs to be responsible for the work, not the magazine, which is what the editor-in-chief has to consider.
After putting the copied manuscript into the drawer of Shen Xin's workbench, Yan Fei glanced at the time, seven o'clock.
She locked the door, saw Murakami and Kotani who were silent, and was thinking about how to answer with the two, but the phone rang.
"Wang, where have you been?"
"Downstairs, parking lot." Wang Wenhong replied, "Which floor do I send Da Dusk Xun to?" ”
"Ahem...... Yan Fei coughed lightly twice and glanced at Murakami, "We are in the studio." Mr. Shen talked with the editor-in-chief of Murakami for a while, but they didn't negotiate, and Mr. Shen is now resting. ”
"Oh, I see. I'll go over it. Wang Wenhong put away his mobile phone and looked at the middle-aged man behind him who was half a head taller than him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen didn't sleep all night in order to catch up with him, and now he is resting." ”
"I can understand that a cartoonist of Mr. Shen's level has high requirements for his works." The middle-aged man nodded, "I hope to see the name of Mr. Shen's new work sooner." ”
"By the way, the editor-in-chief of Murakami is also here."
"Who?" The middle-aged man frowned.
"The editor-in-chief of "Shonen Leap", Mr. Toru Murakami." Wang Wenhong looked at the middle-aged man, but saw that he put away his smile and looked solemn.
