Chapter 465 Sudden Phone Call

"IC Future" almost regards the animation of "Steel Refined" as its killer feature, so the magazine is also very concerned about the progress of the "Steel Refined" animation.

However, considering that all subsequent plots should be linked together, the magazine and the producer went through a heated discussion, and finally decided to release it in the fall of next year, that is, in October next year, with 24 episodes in the first season. This was followed by a 9-episode spinoff, followed by the rest of the anime.

In this way, it can be guaranteed that "Steel Refining" can play animations throughout the year after next.

In addition, another good news for Shen Xin is that the production of "Soul of Chess: Beidou Cup" has been completed and will be released during the Spring Festival this year. The first MV is preparing to be broadcast on major video sites, and now it is just waiting for a comparison. Reasonable timing.

The game of "Soul of Chess" is said to be in the final stage. After the production is completed, an internal test will be carried out, mainly to fix game bugs. It is estimated that it will take a while.

It is expected that the release of "The Big Dipper Cup" will drive the sales of "Soul of Chess", and even the sales of "Steel Refined" may also be affected.

In the next one or two years, the sales of "Soul of Chess" and "Steel Refining" should have a good increase.

Thinking of the script, Xi Muhan was worried, and just about to speak, he suddenly heard a scream from Liu Rui downstairs.

"What's wrong?" Xi Muhan hurriedly asked downstairs.

"Xiaohan, I'm sorry, I was shocked when I saw Duomanwang's Weibo just now."

"Um?"

"It's really a big deal—" Gao Hang also responded.

"Big money?"

Shen Xin was confused, so she immediately found her mobile phone and clicked on Duoman.com's official Weibo account, while Xi Muhan also clicked on Weibo.

"Golden Paintbrush Award Essay?" Shen Xin's eyes lit up when she saw this Weibo post, and then she couldn't wait to look down.

"Although Duoman.com is a newly created website, it has always spared no effort in the pursuit of good works. In order to stimulate the creation of original cartoons by domestic cartoonists, this site is planned to start from December 1st to June 30th next year. Before the deadline, the entries will be judged and the winning entries will be announced on September 30.”

"Golden Paintbrush Award, 1 winner, with a bonus of 5 million yuan, the quality of comics is no less than "Game", "Hunting Abyss" and other works,

Vacancy allowed.

"Silver Paintbrush Award, 5 winners, with a bonus of 1 million yuan."

"All copyrights and derivatives of the award-winning works belong to the website. The specific selection rules and requirements for participating works will be announced on December 1."

When Shen Xin saw this Weibo post, she was also taken aback, "This is equivalent to spending 10 million yuan to hold a grand prize... This is really a big deal."

According to the content reflected in Weibo, it is not difficult to judge that the nature of the award-winning works is to buy out, and, although there is no derivative income, there should be income from the monthly subscription of the comics and the booklet.

"The Golden Paintbrush Award is 5 million yuan—a lot of money." When Xi Muhan saw this figure, he couldn't help being jealous.

"Guotu" has been sold for so long, and there is only so much money.

"The 5 million is not easy to get. Didn't you see a line written behind it? It can be left blank. Therefore, the only condition for the award of this bonus is that the revenue brought by the comics to the website is greater than 5 million, but this kind of Surely, the benefits that level cartoons bring to cartoonists are more than 5 million?" Shen Xin explained.

"That's right." Xi Muhan nodded, and looked at the phone screen again, "If you can buy comics of the level of "Game" or "Hunting Abyss" for 5 million, you must have made money."

"There should be authors who will fight for it. After all, copyright is only valuable if it is sold. If you keep it in your hands, to be honest...it's worthless." The corners of Shen Xin's lips curled up, "Many magazines are really too conservative. , Only by letting the authors see the real money can they realize their potential... From the author's point of view, it is also a good thing to be able to stir up troubled waters on the Internet. However, the scope of influence of this award may be wider big."

"Huh?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin puzzled.

"I heard from Brother Wang that the magazine originally wanted to create an award, but it was difficult for them to come up with 10 million yuan in cash as a bonus, which would have an impact on the layout of "cf". In the future, the role of the 'Manga Festival' will be even smaller—for more than ten years, the prize money of the 'Manga Festival' has only been a few hundred thousand, which is really petty."

Shen Xin couldn't help complaining a few words, he also won the "Manga Ceremony" award, but the money he got was not as much profit as a single book.

Honor is very important, but for the author, it is far less beneficial than bonuses.

Shen Xin then pulled down another Weibo, and another Weibo on Duoman.com's official Weibo, which also attracted his attention - Duomanga announced 50 comics to be uploaded in November. Among them, there are many comics that Shen Xin is familiar with, such as "Shaky", "Ghost Poses", "The Boy Who Chased the Wind"...

"Duoman.com really wants to kill comic magazines." Shen Xin sighed.

"Ah?" Xi Muhan was stunned for a moment, and then saw this Weibo, "These comics are definitely not as good as "Smelting Steel", so the influence shouldn't be too big, right?"

"They can't compare to "Smelting Steel", but the signature comics of second-rate magazines are not much worse than the main brands of first-rate magazine comics. The addition of these 50 comics may make the magazine feel tricky."

It is no exaggeration to say that the front of Duoman.com is just a small fight, and it is these 50 completed comics that really kill the paper magazines, which are the most lacking content of Duoman.com, and temporarily "make up".

2 months free... who knows how many readers it can "suck" away?

"Hey, that's strange." Xi Muhan said suddenly.

"No... There is no "y's". According to common sense, "y's" should be the top manga serialized in second-rate magazines, right? Why is there no "y's"?"

"Definitely not. I just signed the paper copyright of "y's"." Shen Xin laughed.

Speaking of which, thanks to the fact that web comics were not yet popular at that time, most of the contracts did not mention online copyrights—in fact, it was just a matter of one sentence—even the copyrights of "Steel Refining" and web comics were still there. In his hands, but generally speaking, the original magazine has priority, so the electronic copyright of "Steel Refining" is more likely to be given to "ic future".

"Ah? So that's the case." Xi Muhan nodded slightly.

"y's" has only ten years of copyright, and it has been six or seven years now. After a few more years, the copyright will naturally return to Shen Xin, so he is not in a hurry. When the time comes, he will go directly to "ne orld" to ask for the copyright. But—if at that time, "ne orld" is still there.

At this moment, the mobile phone in Shen Xin's hand suddenly rang, and he subconsciously glanced at the mobile phone, his expression suddenly became strange.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the look on Shen Xin's face, Xi Muhan was puzzled.

Shen Xin smiled, "Guess who called me?"

"I don't know." Xi Muhan shook his head.

"Song Tai." Shen Xin glanced at the phone and smiled lightly.

"Him? Huh? Could it be because of the webcomic copyright of "y's"?" Xi Muhan asked in surprise.

"Then who knows?"

Shen Xin thought for a while, but still connected to the phone, he wanted to know what kind of chess Song Tai was going to play.
