Chapter 285: Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle

"Watanabe-sensei's work was cut in half by the publishing house. ”

Just when Hao Ping and the others were about to do a big job, they suddenly got the news from Zhou Jing.

"What's the situation?" Hao Ping believes that Zhou Jing mentioned this matter, not to have a family relationship with him.

Zhou Jing sighed and said: "Mr. Watanabe, although the works of several of them are not as good as those top cartoonists, but their popularity is not bad, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to cut them in half." But a few days ago, the publisher suddenly informed them that they had to finish within three sentences. ”

In Japan, the comic industry, which can obviously be finished, has to find ways to make you extend.,The end of three words.,There's no doubt that it's a notice of halving.。

Its role is only to let the cartoonist give the reader an explanation, as for the meteorite escape, military service escape, or idle and bored to plant bombs in the ground and kill all the characters, it doesn't matter.

If this happens, it's basically because the manga isn't popular enough, and it's impossible for the publisher to pay you to publish it.

But the comics of Ryo Watanabe still have a certain popularity.

"I heard that Mr. Sekiguchi's work was originally set to be animated, but now not only has the animation stopped, but the publishing house wants him to finish it sooner." Zhou Jing added.

"Is it because they serialize fanfics on our site?" Hao Ping thought about it and understood, this little Nima devil was drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle.

Zhou Jing nodded, "Yes." Moreover, according to Watanabe-sensei, the reason why the publishing house did this is probably because of worry. ”

"Worried?" Hao Ping muttered to himself.

In fact, he can understand those so-called worries.

Sure enough, what Zhou Jing said was basically the same as he thought: "If so many cartoonists follow the example of Watanabe-sensei and serialize comics on the website, then the publisher's control over cartoonists will be much reduced." The work of Watanabe-sensei is to warn other manga artists that if they dare to serialize it on our website, they will be banned by the publishing house. ”

"It's poisonous." Hao Ping sighed.

Japan is a very contradictory society, and it is clear that modernization is among the best in the world, but it still retains some strange habits that are difficult to see in modern society.

For example, creators such as cartoonists, most people in the industry are pressed to death by publishing houses, just like the employees of publishing houses. Another example is a rookie cartoonist, if you don't work as an assistant to the comic book writer of the publishing house for a few years, it is difficult to have a publishing opportunity.

These situations are more than the lighthouse states show the "dark side of capitalism".

It is not surprising that the publisher's idea of treating manga artists as forbidden led to a direct warning to Ryo Watanabe and others because of the serialization of manga on the Internet. Even Ryo Watanabe, who is a manga artist, is used to this kind of thing.

But Hao Ping: They can't get used to it.

They are "spoilers", people who break the rules.

Once you are bound by the rules, you will either become like them, or you will die with no place to bury.

But G Society can't be the same as them, although everyone uses the "industry pill" as a stalk, but now this industry is indeed too stable, as stable as a pool of stagnant water, even if Hao Ping and they are willing to ignore everyone, it is difficult to get ahead.

Therefore, they can only break the rules, or, Hao Ping returns to China, several voice actors retire, and Miss Uehara goes home and waits to receive a dowry and then marry, all of which are be endings in their respective senses.

"Watanabe-sensei, what do they say?" Hao Ping asked.

Zhou Jing said: "Mr. Watanabe's side is quite stable for the time being. Mr. Watanabe said that the cooperation had already been agreed at the beginning, and the situation itself was something they should bear, so they didn't blame us. ”

Hao Ping was a little surprised.

In his memory, Ryo Watanabe was a relatively sleek manga artist. Compared with a few of his friends, Ryo Watanabe often doesn't insist much, so it can be said that the festival is slightly insufficient.

It's hard to imagine that Ryo Watanabe would choose to continue supporting them at this time.

However, thinking that a long time ago, when Ryo Watanabe helped for the first time, he listened to two sentences and directly supported him and the three voice actors without saying a word, and felt that it was normal for this person to do such a thing.

However, in any case, as long as the four cartoonists do not withdraw, the current situation will be stable.

"Don't worry, I'll discuss it with Uehara and Miyagawa." Hao Ping said, "It's the 21st century, can really be a publishing house that can cover the sky with one hand?" They are not the only ones who will do this kind of thing. ”

Zhou Jing nodded, "I'll tell you about this, just waiting for your words." You've been doing a lot lately, and I'm still looking forward to what you can do. ”

Hao Ping was so angry that he hammered him, and then found Uehara Tomoe and others for a meeting.

No one knew the situation in the conference room, only that Miss Uehara soon took Miyagawa Mumi and the two of them out, and Hao Ping also asked Zhou Jing to contact the four cartoonists for a separate meeting.

What happened to Ryo Watanabe and others, the impact was really bad.

Soon, the news that the comics serialized on the platform of G Society were asked by the publisher to be cut in half soon spread in the circle of cartoonists. This incident has led to the recent occurrence of many comics serialized by G Society that have not been updated for a long time.

This part was all after Ryo Watanabe and others updated the comics.,Came along with me.。

Although there is no evidence to show this, judging from the current situation, it is not difficult to guess that these people are actually the works of some comic book practitioners, and they are estimated to have come up wearing vests.

Even some original fancomic creators who are interested in commercialization are gradually starting to waver.

If the active cartoonist side is Hao Ping's base that they haven't developed yet.,Then the same creator's side.,It's already the basic plate of the G Society.。

This move is really cut on the bones of the G Society.

"It's not the worst yet." Hao Ping smiled and set up a flag by the way, "Don't panic, this is just a technical adjustment." ”

"However, I didn't want to be so aggressive, but now it's forcing us to speed up, which really annoys me." Hao Ping said with a smile. "Zhou Jing, you should prepare over there, "Magical Girl Illya", which was originally planned to be uploaded at the end of June, may be uploaded in advance, and the manuscript will be prepared in advance."

"Okay." Zhou Jing nodded, "However, what's the use of preparing "Magical Girl Illya" in advance?" ”

"You'll find out soon enough." Looking at Tomoe Uehara who came back from outside, and looking at Miss Uehara who looked like a "bastard dares to rob the old lady's money", Hao Ping smiled.

A few days later, G Company announced that in order to celebrate the more than 10,000 pieces of its anime "Fate/Stay Night" fanworks, it will launch the animated text adventure game of the same name "Fate/Stay Night", and it will also open the same creation license.

The next day, the news that the works of manga artists such as Ryo Watanabe had been cut in half began to spread in the readership community.

Subsequently, G Company once again announced that the website will implement a membership system and open a variety of members-only activities at the same time.

In short, the continuous news related to G Society has caused a stir on the Internet.

I don't know what others think, Zhou Jing, who works in the center of the storm and is being urged by Hao Ping to prepare for the upcoming upload of the comic "Magical Girl Illya", knows that Hao Ping and Uehara Yuhui are already preparing to fight back.
