Chapter 1175: Contract

When Wang Wenhong pushed the door and came in, Shen Xin raised his head and saw that it was Wang Wenhong, so he stretched and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Hmm. "Comic Future" beat "A World Without Demons" in half." Wang Wenhong said.

"Cut in half? Why?" Shen Xin asked puzzled.

"It is said that even though Jin Yingchen was hired by "Comic Future", Shi Qun and Fan Yinmo had known each other since they were in District 11. At that time, "The Devil's Tutor" completed the comics with the help of Fan Yinmo, and after packaging, they were repackaged. It was signed by Qingyue. However, because Fan Yinmo gave Shi Qun the manuscript fee before and asked him to complete the manuscript, Fan Yinmo took away the income that originally belonged to Shi Qun.

"With the first cooperation, Fan Yinmo and Shi Qun continued to cooperate in "A World Without Demons", and adopted double contracts, that is, Shi Qun signed a contract with "Comic Future", and signed a contract with Fan Yinmo. Signing a contract is equivalent to Fan Yinmo authorizing the copyright of comics to Shi Qun, and Shi Qun gave it to "Comic Future". After "Comic Future" found out, it was very angry, and immediately killed "A World Without Monsters". However, Shi Qun Why did you sign this type of contract? Wouldn’t it be great if you signed directly with Comic Future?”

"I guess it's for stability? Compared to "Comic Future" cutting comics in half at any time, having a stable income may be more important to Shi Qun."

It's like online novels, some authors choose to share, and some authors choose to buy out.

The advantage of buying out is that the manuscript fee is stable, how many words you write, how much manuscript fee you get, and the advantage of sharing is that the ceiling is high. In addition to these two, there is another kind called guarantee.

Among these three models, guarantee is the best for the author in most cases. As for buyout and sharing, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. In short, sharing is suitable for authors at the level of great gods, because the ceiling is high and the strength of the author has not been proven. , If you want to sign a contract to buy out, you may be priced down by the platform.

"But...if "A World Without Monsters" is cut in half, wouldn't Shi Qun get very little money?" Wang Wenhong retorted.

"That's true..." Shen Xin thought for a while, then raised her head and asked Wang Wenhong, "Do you know the betting agreement?"

"Know."

The betting agreement is a form of options.

The two sides use a certain standard as the dividing point. If one party wins, then the other party has to pay an additional fee.

If it were "A World Without Monsters", the two parties could agree on how many episodes the manga would not be cut in half. If the number of serialized stories exceeds the agreed length, then the copyright and the income from "A World Without Monsters" will belong to Fan Yinmo, and Fan Yinmo only needs to pay the manuscript fee; if the manga is cut in half in advance, Fan Yinmo will provide the manuscript fee.

Of course, Shen Xin definitely doesn't know the specific contract between the two of them. These are also guesses and the most common way.

Wang Wenhong nodded when he heard the words, "It is indeed possible."

Shen Xin's brows did not relax, and she asked, "Brother Wang, which platform is discussing this matter?"

"There are a lot of discussions on Weibo. After all, this matter ranks first on Weibo's popularity list, and Manjia.com, the entire forum is discussing this matter."

Shen Xin immediately took out her phone and clicked on Manjia.com.

As a gathering place for domestic comic fans, not only comic lovers, but also cartoonists come and go here at any time. Moreover, the responsible editors of each platform will bubble up from time to time.

Therefore, the posts or viewpoints posted here may be captured by the comic platform.

"well,

How did it become like this? Fan Yinmo directly quit the comic circle. For the comic circle, this is a big loss, right? "

Seeing this post, Shen Xin was stunned, and looked up at Wang Wenhong, "Fan Yinmo quit? How?"

"How else can I withdraw? Disbanded the studio." Wang Wenhong spread his hands.

Shen Xin rubbed her chin and continued to look down without making a sound.

"I didn't expect Fan Yinmo to quit directly. I thought he would stick around for a while."

"It's said that it's the pressure from the family, plus the fact that "Comic Future" came out like this, Fan Yinmo lost the mood to continue working on it."

"It's fine if other people don't do it, why did you cut "A World Without Demons" in half?"

"I hate the fact that my favorite comics are cut in half. If the results of the comics are not good, I will feel heartbroken, but I can understand the magazine. After all, the results are the basis for a work to be serialized smoothly, and the magazine unexpectedly because of stone Qun had a contract with Fan Yinmo, so he cut this cartoon in half."

"Don't think about it with a child's thinking, ok? No matter where it is, double contracts are absolutely taboo, even illegal. This is equivalent to selling a work to two. Shi Qun and Fan Yinmo, "Comic "Future" signed the contract, let me ask you, once it goes to court, who will the copyright of "A World Without Monsters" belong to? This is something that must be considered, not taken for granted."

"As a reader, these are not what I want to consider. For this comic, I bought the magazine "Comic Future", and also bought the comic book and peripherals. Now that I give such a result, what I spent before Isn’t money in vain?”

"That's right. We bought the booklet of "A World Without Demons" because we want to know the ending of the follow-up. How can we continue to read it?"

"Do magazines do things without considering readers' emotions? If so, I won't buy the next issue of "Comic Future."

Shen Xin frowned when she saw the comments on the hottest post, she thought for a long time, but didn't make a sound.

"A World Without Demons" shouldn't have signed two contracts. As someone said in the post, it is indeed illegal to sign a work in two places. Even if they wanted to sign a contract, Fan Yinmo would sign with "Comic Future", not Shi Qun.

Regardless of whether Fan Yinmo intended it or not, this will indeed bring a lot of trouble to "Comic Future", and it is difficult to solve.

From this point of view, Shen Xin supported "Comic Future" to cut "A World Without Monsters" in half, and even if Yu Chen was more ruthless, it would not be an exaggeration to take Fan Yinmo and Shi Qun to court.

But the appeal of the readers is also reasonable, which reminds Shen Xin that there are many online novels that are tj due to various reasons, some can be avoided, such as the author's lazy cancer, and some are unavoidable, such as the author has to cut the novel in half to make a living, But either way, it's emotionally difficult for readers to take.

Of course, if it is lazy cancer or livelihood, the novel may still have the possibility to make up, but the novel that has been harmonized or the author has passed away will always be a regret for readers.

As an author and a reader, Shen Xin certainly understands this feeling, and she doesn't want "A World Without Monsters" to leave the readers' field of vision in this way.

Because "A World Without Demons" was cut in half, Shen Xin even felt that there was no possibility of this manga ending normally.

This is very hurtful for cartoonists and readers.
