Chapter 1176 Opposition
Shen Xin withdrew from this post, but focused on another very popular post.
Unlike the previous post, this one is a cartoonist's complaint.
Shen Xin clicked open casually, and the message on the post came into his eyes.
"Is there something wrong with "Comic Future"? Directly posting that kind of Weibo statement, is it useful? In addition to smashing my own signboard, I also smashed other people's jobs. It's disgusting. In this life, I will never complain to "Comic Future" Comic Future" contribution."
"That's right, I've ruined my job now. Where can I find such a stable job in the future?"
Seeing such a message, Shen Xin scratched her head and continued to look down.
There are cartoonists who boycott "Comic Future", and naturally there are cartoonists who support "Comic Future".
"If you want me to say, it should be screwed up. What the hell are you doing? Don't you have your own hands? Why do you want to go to the studio? Can't you directly submit to other platforms?"
"Why don't you want to contribute to "Comic Future"? Just ask, do you have the ability?"
After hearing the ridicule, the opponent immediately counterattacked.
"Hehe, "Comic Future" doesn't have any comics that go wrong? They are really so good, Teacher Wang Yunze won't go to Duo Manwang."
"Of course I have my own plans when I go to the studio. The elderly at home have to be raised, and the children have to go to school. What's wrong with having a stable income? Directly sign the platform? The income is not guaranteed, what should the family do?"
"If I don't sign a studio, I can still live well. If I don't work hard, I just want to be safe. How can I create good works?"
"P's good works, I just want to make money! If good works don't sell for money, why should I paint?"
...
When Shen Xin saw the readers' speeches, her head was already very big. Now, seeing the cartoonists tearing apart, it is even more headache.
He pulled down a few more posts, and the entire first page was talking about this matter. Moreover, the contradictions between the two sides are great.
Shen Xin sighed, put down her phone, leaned against the back of the computer chair, closed her eyes, but her mind was always in a mess.
Wang Wenhong didn't make a sound, but saw Shen Xin close her eyes, as if she was asleep.
After waiting for nearly five minutes, he realized that Shen Xin hadn't responded, so he thought about turning around and leaving, planning to return to the studio first.
At this moment, Shen Xin opened her eyes, stood up, and said to Wang Wenhong, "Brother Wang, follow me to the editorial department of "Comic Future."
"Huh?" Wang Wenhong was startled, but seeing that Shen Xin had already put on his coat, he said in surprise, "Teacher, this matter has nothing to do with us..."
"I know, but I don't think this matter should be like this... There should be a solution." After Shen Xin got dressed, she walked out of his office.
"Everyone can go back after finishing the work at hand." Shen Xin said to the assistant who was painting when passing by the assistant's work area.
"Huh?" The assistants all made surprise sounds, and after hearing Shen Xin's words clearly, everyone took a breath.
Xi Muhan and Yan Fei walked out of the office, and when they saw Wang Wenhong who was about to chase after Shen Xin, Yan Fei quickly stopped him, "Teacher, what's wrong with you? What are you doing?"
Wang Wenhong shook his head, "Teacher is going to the editorial department of "Comic Future". I think I will have a talk with Yu Chen."
"Ah?" Xi Muhan didn't have time to think about it, and said directly, "I'll go too."
"You? What are you going to do?" Wang Wenhong asked back.
"Me? I'll go..." Xi Muhan paused for a moment, and then said, "I'll go collect materials..."
"Is that okay?" Wang Wenhong lost his voice, and seeing Xi Muhan's serious expression, he could only helplessly say, "I can take you there, but whether you can get in the car or not is up to Teacher Shen."
"Let's go and talk later." Xi Muhan was resolute.
She also wanted to know what kind of reaction Shen Xin would have.
The two followed Shen Xin into the elevator. Shen Xin was a little surprised to see Xi Muhan coming in, but she didn't say anything, she just put her hands in her pockets.
Only then did Wang Wenhong express his doubts.
"Mr. Shen, you went to "Comic Future" this time, isn't it for "A World Without Monsters?"
"Yes, and no." Shen Xin sighed, ""A World Without Demons" has achieved very good results, which means that there are many readers who like it. Such a work should be qualified to finish smoothly."
"However, it is also a fact that he signed a contract with Fan Yinmo." Xi Muhan reminded.
"The attitudes of readers and cartoonists are also very fierce, and even confrontation is true. It is difficult to build a tall building with building blocks, but you only need to move your fingers to destroy it... Do you really think that "Comic Future" is stable? Its The collapse of word of mouth will affect many people, including me. I admit that I hate the 'exclusive contract system', but the domestic comic circle needs "Comic Future."
The elevator door opened, Shen Xin walked out of the elevator first, followed by Wang Wenhong and Xi Muhan.
The three sat in the car, and Wang Wenhong drove the car to the main road.
"Then there are new cartoonists... A market needs newcomers to maintain its vitality. Haven't you noticed? A cartoonist draws for too long, and the style of the works will be somewhat similar." Shen Xin sighed.
Created by one person, the style is usually inherited in the same strain. If the reader is careful, you can even see the shadow of the previous work.
Cartoonists don't want to do this either, but there are many reasons for this result,
For example, the same cartoonist thinks about problems in the same way, so the progress of the plot will be relatively similar. Also, people's energy is limited, and it is really difficult to maintain the original intention and momentum after painting for more than ten or twenty years. At the same time, the times are developing, and the types of comics readers like are also changing. Cartoonists who are conservative and do not know how to make progress will also be eliminated by time.
To ensure that an industry is always moving forward, newcomers are indispensable.
Just like on Earth, after "Death" and "Fire" are over, it is difficult to cultivate another work of the same level and influence. Even the comic talents in District 11 are withering. It is not uncommon for China to have a similar situation. possible.
Shen Xin still hoped that the newcomer could stand up, otherwise, it would be meaningless for him to be alone. The comic circle still needed some fresh blood. Besides, even "Pirate" couldn't stop the sales decline of "Jump", and he alone couldn't stop "Comic Future" from going downhill due to the loss of talent.
The decline in sales of "Comic Future" and the damaged image of the magazine will also affect him.
Whether it is private or public, he has to ask, at least to find a solution that balances both.
Xi Muhan sat in the back seat of the car, and only after hearing Shen Xin's words did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
It is indeed okay for "Comic Future" to cut "A World Without Demons" in half, but it is not wise to cause some readers, cartoonists and magazines to confront each other.
Didn't Yu Chen know that this would happen?
You should know, but there is a saying that "riding a tiger is hard to get off", especially if the two sides refuse to give in to each other, the knot in this matter will only become tighter and tighter. This should also be the reason why Shen Xin wanted to go over, not to mention solving the whole incident, at least it would give this matter one more option.
Thinking of this, Xi Muhan felt warm in his heart, and hooked Shen Xin's hand who was sitting on the other side of the aisle with his fingers.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.
"No, I just feel that my choice is right." Xi Muhan squinted his eyes, looked at the confused Shen Xin, and smiled again without saying a word.
