Chapter 321: Exploration
"Is there a difference?" Shang Haozhi took a sip of water and asked in confusion.
"Of course there is a difference." Shen Xin said with a smile, "After "Soul of Chess" is finished, I will have half a year to a year to rest and think about the next manga, so even if you ask me to sign the contract, it's useless."
"The company doesn't care about the signing fee." Shang Haozhi said.
"I don't care either. So, Mr. Shang, let's talk about it later." Shen Xin said.
Shang Haozhi rubbed his forehead.
In Shen Xin's work, it is true that the quality and speed of the comics are second to none among many cartoonists, but sometimes they are too serious.
Shang Haozhi didn't dare to press too hard, Huaxia is not just "comicfuture" a magazine, if he and Shen Xin are in a stalemate now, it is estimated that "mangaf1y" will be awarded a big contract tomorrow.
The biggest difference between Shen Xin and other cartoonists is that other cartoonists, such as Ye Hexu or Wang Yunze, are supported by "comicfuture", but Shen Xin is not. He has already proved himself in other magazines, even if he does not In "comicfuture", Shen Xin is still Shen Xin.
"That's fine, but I also have a condition."
"you say."
"The content of the next contract is related to the quality of your next comic. In other words, if the quality of the comic is suitable, we will make appropriate concessions." Shang Haozhi explained.
"No problem. But there is a premise, I will determine the length of the comic."
Shang Haozhi looked at Shen Xin and found that he was serious, so he was a little curious, "Mr. Shen, you should know that the longer the comic, the better it is for the cartoonist, right?"
"I know." Shen Xin nodded.
The length of a work is a double-edged sword.
Generally speaking, after a certain length, the quality of the subsequent part of the comic is inversely proportional to its length. For example, some popular works often have long and bloated content in the later stage, and the power system collapses, thereby reducing the quality of the comic.
This is mainly because the cartoonist was not sure about the length of the comic at the beginning of creation, and the setting and outline they made were only around the first half.
However, with the popularity of the work, the length of the story will be lengthened under the author's own wishes and the requirements of the magazine. Once the story exceeds the initial setting and outline, there may be conflicts between the front and back settings, resulting in comics. Reduced quality.
However, it is also true that the longer a comic is, the more popular it will be and the more benefits it will bring to the author.
"Then you still have a limit on the length."
Shen Xin has black lines all over her head, because the original book is so long.
Of course, as a former Internet author, it is not impossible for him to design new ones—this is equivalent to writing a fan fiction. The quality may decline, but it is not impossible to write.
Besides, in online novels, it is not that there have been cases of "fans forcing the original work to death".
It's just that, for some finished comics, the ending is already very complete, and continuing to create is just a continuation, and he doesn't want to do that.
Taking "Soul of Chess" as an example, he felt that it would be good to finish at the "Beidou Cup".
"Everyone has the habit of creating." Shen Xin could only find this reason.
Shang Haozhi thought for a while, and nodded slightly. What Shen Xin said was right, just like some people like to listen to music when they are creating, and some people like to be quiet. He has also heard that someone likes cosp1ay when creating, and then , bring yourself into the plot.
Cartoonists do have their own preferences when creating cartoons.
"Alright." Shang Haozhi nodded, "But "comicfuture" must be your first choice."
"Of course, there is no magazine in China that can compare to "comicfuture"." Shen Xin said seriously.
Shen Xin also looks forward to cooperating with "comicfuture" again.
The same is the "exclusive contract system", "comicfuture" promotes works and produces derivatives,
Still trying my best.
But if he signed the contract immediately, it was like having a chain around his ankle, which made him uncomfortable.
Shen Xin and Shang Haozhi have worked together for three years, and they know each other better, knowing that this negotiation will not make any progress at all, at most it is just testing the bottom line of the other party.
This exchange was not fruitful, but it paved the way for subsequent negotiations.
"There is also "Soul of Chess". I think Brother Wang should also say that at the end of the year, I will hand over all the manuscripts to the magazine." Shen Xin got up and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered this and turned around. Said.
"I know, I will explain to the animation company." Shang Haozhi sighed.
"Thank you."
The two of them left the conference room, Shang Haozhi sent Shen Xin into the elevator, and just returned to the editorial department, the eyes of others immediately fell on him again.
"Mr. Shang, how are you?" Jia Hui asked in a low voice.
Shang Haozhi shook his head, "We still need to continue talking. However, I don't think the problem should be serious."
When the others heard this, they glanced at each other, knowing that this was the only way to go for the time being. Wang Wenhong looked solemn, but did not speak.
...
The TV ratings of "Soul of Chess" are slightly different from everyone's general expectations, but before and after the episode where Zuo Wei disappeared, the ratings did fluctuate a lot, but they quickly returned to normal, with an overall rating of 10% Wandering left and right, this made Long Yao and Orochi full of confidence in the third season of "Soul of Chess".
Shang Haozhi told the two animation companies the news that "Soul of Chess" will end after the "Beidou Cup".
Whether it is Longtian or Futian's lunge, it is difficult to accept this fact immediately. After all, so far, "Soul of Chess" has not shown too obvious a decline.
But after Shang Haozhi reiterated that it was Shen Xin's wish, the two expressed their understanding and regret at the same time.
The animation of the second season is still being produced, so it is impossible to start the animation production of the third season immediately.
After a little discussion between the two animation companies, they decided to start production in March next year, trying to catch up with the autumn show.
The time has entered September, and with the serialization of "Soul of Chess", the "Beidou Cup" is gradually unfolding.
Huaxia's reporters went to the country of Han and interviewed Gao Yongxia, the representative of the country of Han. After Gao Yongxia's speech was translated by a second-rate Han country, it sounded a little weird.
"Do you know Huang Ze, the ancient Chinese chess master?" the reporter asked.
Huang Ze is the chess master who is possessed by Zuo Wei in "Soul of Chess", and he is also a real person in this world.
The translator "translated" Gao Yongxia's words with embarrassment, "Huang Ze has no strength, he is already a person from the past."
"But... There are still many chess players in Huaxia who are practicing his chess records..." The reporter quickly retorted.
"There is no need to learn from Huang Ze. Huaxia Go is not good, and neither is Huang Ze." The second-rate translator was sweating profusely, looked at the gloomy face of the reporter, and left the interview room in a panic.
Readers thought that the "Beidou Cup" would start smoothly as before, and then gradually reach a climax, but unexpectedly, there was such a small episode before it started.
Many readers felt aggrieved by Huang Ze, and at the same time expressed their dislike for Gao Yongxia—Gao Yongxia said Huang Ze in this way, in fact, he was saying "Zuowei".
"Let Jin Tengguang teach Gao Yongxia a lesson!"
This is almost the voice of most readers.
In this atmosphere, Chapter 171, "Proof of Existence" was published.
