Chapter 1153: Studio

"Studio?" Shen Xin didn't understand what Lu Yingxue meant.

There are many types of studios. Ordinary cartoonists plus assistants can be collectively referred to as studios. Like him, the mode of hiring separate editors and assistants, regardless of the relationship with the magazine, is also a studio.

I don't know which kind Lu Yingxue is talking about.

"If it's a studio like ours, in fact, I'm more here to make it easier for everyone, just like Brother Wang and Sister Yan, they are the top editors of the magazine. On the other hand, I consider that as we grow older and have a family, we will lose some energy. Also, in order to reduce the workload in the future, I may hire other assistants, right?" Shen Xin also said He hadn't made up his mind, but he had already made up his mind.

In the future, in case of double opening, only relying on 7 assistants, in fact, there is still a certain pressure, because there is a group that needs to be assigned to be responsible for coloring or other work. Besides, he didn't need to make himself and his assistants so tired in order to save money.

Wang Wenhong was a little surprised. He had never heard of Shen Xin's plan in this regard before. However, considering the possibility of serializing two comics in the future, it is reasonable to hire a few more assistants.

"Of course not like this." Lu Yingxue waved her hands quickly, looking at the seven assistants with slightly heated eyes, "A studio like this model of a teacher should be the best match for a cartoonist, right? You have your own assistants, you have your own Editor-in-charge... Well, most authors would be envious. But I'm talking about another kind."

"Huh?" Shen Xin looked at Lu Yingxue suspiciously.

Yan Fei also came over at this time, and nodded to Shen Xin, indicating that the drawing has been checked.

"It's the kind of studio where one person gathers a group of cartoonists and provides funds and environment for the cartoonists." Lu Yingxue explained, "Various matters of comics are run by the studio, and the cartoonists only get a fixed salary. , to create comics."

"I think you've heard of this kind of studio before?" Shen Xin glanced at Wang Wenhong.

"I know. At that time, I asked Mr. Shen if we could do this? After all, Mr. Shen's reputation is the guarantee. But Mr. Shen refused." Wang Wenhong nodded.

"Why? If Mr. Shen took the lead, there should be many people participating. There are very few opportunities to create comics with Mr. Shen." Lu Yingxue wondered.

"For the sake of profit, it's easy for cartoonists to tear each other apart. I have enough money to spend, why do I have to go through this muddy water?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

Speaking of cartoonists,

Many people think that cartoonists are different from other people. One is that they are nerds, and the other is that they have nothing to do with the world. Most of them draw cartoons for their dreams and hobbies. Therefore, they feel that cartoonists are indifferent to fame and fortune.

People with such thoughts can only be said to be too young.

Even if it is for hobbies and dreams, there will be a limit, because cartoonists live in a real world and cannot be separated from reality. Whether it is fame or profit, it is just necessary for cartoonists, otherwise, it is ok for cartoonists to directly contribute for free.

When I was on Earth, some studios or cartoonists, in order to increase the exposure of the station, even at the expense of their own health, updated twice a week, in order to let more people know about this comic, and also to increase revenue, better stay alive.

Similarly, in order not to be cut in half, the cartoonist who serialized in the magazine revises the manuscript overnight and discusses the plot with the responsible editor all night, not just for feelings.

Anyone who has watched "Dream Eater" knows that the protagonist's uncle, Nobuhiro Mashiro, who is the most sincere, became a manga artist in order to marry Miyuki Haruno, a girl he liked in middle school. The two have a good impression of each other. At the age of 30, Nobuhiro's manga was finally made into an animation, but the other party was already married to someone else.

If Nobuhiro Mashiro could gain both fame and fortune, there would be no such tragedy, let alone leave this world at the age of 39. Of course, if Mashiro Nobuhiro really married Haruno Miyuki, then it is impossible for the highest to become a manga artist. After all, the highest motivation to become a manga artist is to marry Azumiho, and Haruno Miyuki is Azumiho's mother.

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." What cartoonists want is to make a living with their hobbies, not to generate electricity for their feelings.

It is very vulgar for someone to talk about fame and wealth for cartoonists, but cartoonists themselves are ordinary people, and they just endowed them with the title of cartoonist.

If there is a bond of interest, there will inevitably be conflicts. Even if it is a well-known comic studio, once there is a dispute of interest, it may tear the face apart. At that time, not only the relationship between the cartoonists, but also the reputation will be damaged.

Shen Xin had seen similar things on Earth, so she made up her mind not to get involved with other cartoonists. As for the cooperation with Ji Yinxuan, Shen Xin only accepts due rewards, how to make the game, how to operate it, where he needs to cooperate, he will cooperate according to Ji Yinxuan's request, otherwise, he will not bother at all .

Lu Yingxue didn't know what Shen Xin was thinking, but when she heard Shen Xin's words, she looked confused.

According to his thinking, Shen Xin would at least show interest or disgust, but he didn't expect his reaction to be so calm.

"Then teacher, what do you think of the emergence of this kind of studio?" Lu Yingxue asked.

Shen Xin suddenly smiled, "Mr. Lu, you are like a reporter."

Lu Yingxue's face instantly turned red, and she said awkwardly, "Sorry, I just want to ask, is this mode right or wrong?"

"It's hard to say. When the comics industry develops to a certain stage, the emergence of studios is inevitable, unless the major platforms strictly require that once a work from a studio is found, the contract will be terminated immediately. But the reality is that it is very difficult to do so."

"Why?" Lu Yingxue asked puzzled.

"If a comic can bring a lot of money to the platform, do you think the platform will terminate the contract with the cartoonist because of the studio?" Shen Xin asked back.

"..."

Just as Lu Yingxue was about to explain, she suddenly thought of "The Tutor of the Demon King" and "A World Without Demons". To a certain extent, these two comics are also works of the studio, but will the platform really terminate the contract?

not necessarily.

Because the performance of comics is so good, it has brought too many benefits to the platform.

"Ms. Lu, why did you suddenly become interested in the studio?" Wang Wenhong said with a smile.

"Uh, actually, that friend of mine just now belongs to a studio. She just wanted to jump out and try "Comic Future" after finishing drawing the comics in her hand. So, I was curious, what would Mr. Shen do? Look at a studio like this."

"I don't have any opinion. Even if this studio doesn't exist, there will be other studios...Moreover, as more and more web comics choose to colorize, the number of studios will increase." Shen Xin doesn't do it herself, But that doesn't stop others from doing it either.

Sometimes, in order to live a better life, people need to hold together properly, but how to grasp the "degree" is very important.

In fact, there are studios in many industries, but the comic industry is quite special, because it may take several years, or even ten years, for a comic to grow from obscurity to fame, and in this process, once Cartoonists are at a disadvantage and it will be very hard. But the studio may also have put in a lot of effort to make the comics popular, and the capital behind it is not known to the cartoonists.

In short, the studio can win or lose.
