Chapter 1193: Answer
Yuan Zhe was chatting with Shen Xin, but Yu Chen, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, coughed lightly, and said, "Mr. Shen is our author now, Mr. Yuan, pay attention."
There was a tone of warning in the tone.
"Wrong." Yuan Zhe shook his finger, "Mr. Shen is not your author, you just signed a work with him, that's all, right? Mr. Shen."
After speaking, Yuan Zhe shifted his gaze to Shen Xin.
Shen Xin frowned slightly, but didn't make a sound.
Of course there is nothing wrong with Yuan Zhe's words. At the beginning, he had an argument with "Comic Future" and Bao Jiyi in order to get out of the comic circle.
Today, it can be said that she jumped out, but no one was able to catch up behind her, which also made Shen Xin feel regretful.
If you think about it carefully, there are also objective reasons for this.
Cartoonists are not like writers on the Internet. It is a systematic occupation. The serialization of a comic is not only related to cartoonists, but also to editors and assistants.
In order to maintain high-intensity serialization and not be cut in half, cartoonists must maximize every detail of the comics. Therefore, most cartoonists step on the deadline to submit manuscripts, and rest for four or five hours a day. is a common occurrence.
double open?
First of all, make sure you have the physical strength and energy to double open.
Therefore, even if it can be serialized on different platforms, most authors will not do so.
On the one hand, it is because they are not qualified to bargain with the platform, and on the other hand, it is because they do not have the ability to double open.
Taking it all into consideration, although the idea of breaking away from the major platforms is very exciting, more often than not, only one comic can be drawn.
One reason why Shen Xin didn't choose to draw "DUNK" is because "; DUNK" is more difficult to draw. Another reason is that he has all the achievements and honors he should have, so he doesn't need to work so hard.
This is not laziness, but because only by ensuring health can one draw comics for a longer period of time.
Yuan Zhe used Shen Xin's attitude and actions to refute Yu Chen today, but Yu Chen had no way to fight back, because these are facts,
Although Shen Xin is only serialized in "DUNK" in China in name, but if he wants to refute Yuan Zhe's words, even if Shen Xin doesn't say anything on the surface, he will definitely have an opinion in his heart.
"; DUNK" is about to end, and he has to sign Shen Xin's next comic.
The pressure on Yu Chen's shoulders is also great.
The air suddenly froze, and the three of them didn't know how to break the topic.
Wang Wenhong scratched his head and was thinking of how to interrupt when Shi Ping, the president of the cartoonist association, walked towards these people with his hands behind his back.
"Good evening, everyone."
"Hi, teacher." Shen Xin nodded quickly.
Yuan Zhe, Yu Chen and Wang Wenhong also greeted Shi Ping successively.
"Everyone, are you ready for the stage later?"
Yu Chen and Yuan Zhe nodded quickly.
Shi Ping looked at Shen Xin again, "Mr. Shen, you should be the last one to give a speech at the press conference later. Anyway, thank you for your hard work."
"I know, this is also my job." Shen Xin said.
"However, there is still one thing that may trouble you..." Shi Ping hesitated to speak.
"Um?"
"That's right. After Fan Yinmo's incident came out, the association contacted several platforms in private to confirm the changes to the 'Manga Festival'. Since the studio appeared, it was difficult to eliminate it, and it was also difficult to find their handle. After the discussion at that time, I feel that "blocking is worse than sparse" and put all these institutions and studios on the bright side. The second-level awards focus on discovering those cartoonists who are serialized on small platforms, including those who draw in studios .”
Shen Xin nodded, these were the things he discussed with Yu Chen at the beginning, it seems that Yu Chen should also talk to several platforms.
"However, there is another problem. In fact, I just discovered it. On the Manjia.com forum, someone raised a question, why can't all cartoonists select a prize of 3 million together. There are also reasons, partly because If all the cartoonists are counted, the workload is too much, and we can't do it. More importantly, the bosses of other magazines are not willing to distribute this money to cartoonists on second-tier platforms."
The 3 million bonus was jointly funded by the first-tier magazines and the Cartoonist Association, and they didn't want this money to be left behind by other magazines.
This is also to safeguard the interests of these magazines.
"I see." Shen Xin rubbed her chin, "Actually, it's relatively easy to solve."
"Um?"
"The next level of 'Best Novel' is announced once a year, and the higher level is announced once every three years. The three comics that have won the second level of 'Best Novel' are eligible to run for a prize of 3 million yuan. It's fine if you don't."
"No way? It's not reasonable to send the money from several of our platforms to cartoonists that have nothing to do with us?" Yuan Zhe shook his head.
The bonus of 3 million yuan is distributed to each first-line platform, which is only a few hundred thousand yuan, and there is an interval of three years between each award. For these platforms, it is not a lot of money, but what makes Yuan Zhe feel stuck , why give it to people who have nothing to do with them.
"Mr. Yuan, don't explain it to me. I came from a small magazine, and I know how important such an opportunity is to cartoonists. Each of you has the best authors and can use the most resources. You will not lose confidence Can't you win? That's too inappropriate." Shen Xin asked back.
"Ahem... Let me mention that you may not be able to win. Mr. Shen, you just said that you came from a small magazine, but you beat Mr. Ye in the 'Comic Festival'."
Yuan Zhe has a good memory and did not forget this incident.
"Mr. Yuan, that was the selection of the Newcomer Award. Don't you think that I could win the 'Best Novel' at that time?"
"That's not true." Yuan Zhe shook his head.
"That's it. If cartoonists on second-tier platforms really get a bonus of 3 million, shouldn't it be your magazines that should reflect? What's more, the Cartoonists Association skipped the awarding time to three years, isn't it also improving Is there a fault tolerance rate? After all, which magazine does not accumulate a few signboards in three years? If under such circumstances, the second-tier platform still wins the award, I suggest that the serial comics on the first-tier platform should be collectively ended. "Shen Xin narrowed her eyes and showed a smile that she thought was pretty good.
His last sentence was somewhat joking, but in the hearts of several other people, they felt pressure.
Shi Ping opened his mouth, and finally sighed.
He didn't expect Shen Xin's answer to be so "harsh", but it was the truth.
The selection of some platforms is inherently strict, and comics that can be selected and compete for the "best novel" are definitely the platform's signature.
Such a work is surpassed by second-tier magazines, which can only show that the comics serialized on the first-tier platforms are really not good.
"Hey, why don't we discuss it when we go back? There's no rush for this matter."
This matter involved the interests of too many people, Shi Ping did not dare to agree rashly.
