Chapter Eighty-Six: Money Is Not Everything
Subheading: But no money is a never-before-all option
There are always countless situations in everyone's life that will make people lose their minds, put aside all their pretenses, and expose their true side to the eyes of others.
Honestly, most of the time this is not a good thing, because feelings that are too blunt can make people feel uncomfortable, whether well-intentioned or malicious – not to mention that most of the time it is usually malicious that can make people lose their minds.
So, for the sake of our relationships, let's repeat the meditation, to be elegant, yes, to tell ourselves like this: to be - you - elegant.
Look at how wonderful the world is, come, and try to ask yourself: Is life full of anger happy?
Blow (C) bull (N) force (B) (B), elegant fart! The old lady is going to be angry! Lin Lin, you bastard, wait for me! I'm not done with you!
Wiping his mouth and desktop with a tissue, Yuemi barely held up a smile, in fact, looking at Lin Lin, who was grimacing at him not far away, he had already scolded his mother fiercely.
"Yuemi, what's wrong?"
Suddenly seeing Yuemi's rare gaffe, Ji Kaiwei and Weng Ruyu glanced at each other in some surprise, and then Ji Kaiwei asked tentatively.
“…… It's okay, someone just did a little prank on me, Kaiwei doesn't have to care...... "The current occasion is not good, Yuemi has no choice but to eat this secret loss, let Lin Lin over there be proud, and after taking a deep breath, he turned a blind eye to her, "So continue the topic just now." ”
Seeing that Yuemi deliberately avoided this problem, Ji Kaiwei didn't explore much, but just glanced at the black tea in front of him a little weirdly, and wisely didn't try the taste of the black tea that Yuemi brought out today - in fact, it was actually a very normal black tea, and Lin Lin only poisoned Yuemi's cup.
"I'll tell Weng Ruyu about Yuemi's plan for you and Lin Lin."
Probably because he felt that it was too troublesome to explain, Ji Kaiwei omitted the motive and process, and directly told Yuemi the result, and then stopped talking, probably signaling Weng Ruyu to explain next, but after thinking about it, she still added: "Yuemi, didn't you say that you wanted to ask her before." ”
That's what I said, but sure enough, it would still be very embarrassing to meet Weng Ruyu at this time......
But fortunately, Weng Ruyu has always been that business-like appearance, and this attitude also makes Yuemi feel relatively acceptable.
Following Ji Kaiwei's meaning, Weng Ruyu straightened his sitting posture, and looked unexpectedly serious: "Yuemi, I have already understood the plan of you and Teacher Sanshan from Miss Ji, first of all, as an editor, I can clearly say that this plan is feasible." ”
Of course it's feasible, not to mention that Lin Lin, who proposed this, was also a comic editor in his previous life, you must know that webtoons in Lin Lin's world have been officially formed.
However, because Weng Ruyu cut directly to the point, Yuemi, who was originally going to say something, couldn't help but become serious.
"But there is still a problem, and there are two aspects," Weng Ruyu continued, "First of all, did this webtoon platform appear purely for the purpose of allowing Yuemi to continue to finish Death Note? ”
“…… What do you mean? For this question, Yuemi didn't react for a while, and tilted her head to express her doubts.
"Well, let's put it this way, if you can continue to serialize "Death Note" on this webtoon platform and finish it, then will you and Miyama-sensei continue to operate this platform after the end?" Weng Ruyu changed to a more direct statement.
If you don't continue to operate, then you can skip this aspect of the problem and go directly to the next step, and if you are ready to continue to do this platform, you have to consider a lot of problems, and there are two more realistic ones.
The first point is that you need to find some comic authors who are willing to contribute to the platform, after all, in the comics industry, webtoons are completely a new field that no one has ever set foot in, not everyone has the courage to open up the wasteland, and the first choice for new cartoonists is indeed a physical magazine like "Shonen Weekly" if they want to preach.
And the second point is that you need to have a certain amount of money to maintain the server and pay the comic book writers - people are very realistic, if you don't get paid, why would others contribute to you? Don't expect money, just for the sake of the author, wouldn't it be nice to post it directly on social platforms, such as Twitter?
There are a lot of other things that are bits and pieces, but these are the two that are more straightforward, and it is enough to talk about this for now in the absence of a fully determined plan.
Weng Ruyu explained this to Yuemi, and then waited for Yuemi's answer.
Lin Lin actually considered this matter, but he didn't talk to Yuemi, the reason is very simple - he has no money, if he has enough funds, there is still room for operation, but the problem is that there is no money, and even if he has money, it is not convenient to operate in Lin Lin's state, if he is handed over to Yuemi...... Although it is not that he does not trust Yuemi, Lin Lin knows very well that Yuemi does not have this talent, if it were not for this, Lin Lin would not have told Yuemi's friends about this plan through Yuemi's mouth, to put it bluntly, he was counting on them to help.
"Hmm...... I think I should discuss this with Lin Lin a little, but to be honest, I can only draw, and I don't understand this kind of thing at all, and Lin Lin's words can't be responsible for operating this kind of thing for various inconvenient reasons, so ...... It's a little bit of a headache...... "After thinking for a while, Yuemi's face was embarrassed, and he said that the reply was reserved, in fact, both Ji Kaiwei and Weng Ruyu could understand from Yuemi's words that it should be impossible to operate the platform only by Yuemi herself and the mysterious Sanshan.
However, Weng Ruyu knew that Ji Kaiwei should have a plan, so he didn't break it, and continued: "Then the next aspect, although it is said that if it goes smoothly according to Sanshan's plan, Yuemi, you do have hope that you can continue to serialize "Death Note", but there are two prerequisites before that. ”
She raised a finger: "The first point is that we need to find a way to eliminate the controversy on the Internet, at least not to reappear like the previous situation that almost attracted the attention of all sectors of society, otherwise as long as the State Administration of Animation and Culture is still likely to make a fuss about it." ”
However, such an excellent work, especially if it has already attracted people's attention, it is a matter of small chance that it will avoid causing a large-scale controversy again if the controversy is not completely resolved.
Yuemi also knew this more or less, so she pretended to be an ostrich with a headache: "So, what about the next premise?" ”
"That's a more immediate question." Mentioning this, Weng Ruyu didn't know why the tone was subtle and a little embarrassed, but immediately Yuemi also understood the reason for her embarrassment, "I admire Teacher Sanshan in this regard, because I'm afraid she expected the current situation when she signed the contract, so let Yuemi keep the copyright tightly in your own hands, but although the copyright is not in "Juvenile Weekly", but the magazine has the only right to use "Death Note......"
Hearing this, both Yuemi and Lin Lin had a bad premonition: "...... What does that mean? ”
"In other words, if you want to serialize "Death Note" elsewhere, you need to pay a penalty to "Shonen Weekly".
Ji Kaiwei slowly said the final conclusion for Weng Ruyu.
Well, in the end, it's a matter of money!
