Chapter 612: Okay, What About Equivalent Exchange?

The wind on the roof is very strong.

Before time travel, Shen Xin often heard this sentence.

When he came to the rooftop, he found that what he said was true, the wind on the rooftop was really not small.

The rain was getting heavier, and then the cold wind was blowing on his face, covering Shen Xin's sight. He could only comb his hair back.

The policeman was also standing in the rain, saw Shen Xin coming up, and asked, "Are you Shen Zheng?"

"Yes." Shen Xin nodded.

"Are you sure?"

"No, but you have to try it?" Shen Xin said.

"Do you want an umbrella?"

"Need not."

What kind of umbrella do you use at this time?

"be safe."

Shen Xin nodded and looked forward.

On the edge of the rooftop, stood a thin man, the sky was a little dark, but not the kind that was getting dark, so Shen Xin could roughly see the appearance of that man.

It is not difficult to see that he should have been well-dressed today. He should rarely wear a suit, white shirt, and leather shoes, but the tie has gone somewhere, the collar is torn open, and the suit is soaked in rain. How embarrassing how embarrassing.

But Shen Xin was not much better than this person. After being soaked by the rain, the sweater was sticking to his skin, and his pants and sneakers were also soaked by the rain. Coupled with the cold wind blowing, he felt a slight shiver.

"Teacher Shen?" The man spoke first.

"Teacher Zuo Yuan?" Shen Xin also said softly.

"Yes. Teacher Shen, you are younger than I thought."

"Thank you, you are not bad."

"Mr. Shen, do you know why I'm still hesitating?" Zuo Yuan asked.

"Because of my daughter, because of your lover, and...dreams and readers..." Shen Xin speculated.

Zuo Yuan grinned, "Mr. Shen, you are 2/3 right."

"ah?"

Shen Xin was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Zuo Yuan meant.

"Daughter, ex-lover... and you." Zuo Yuan said this, stepped on the high platform, moved half a step forward, and there was an abyss.

"Wait...Mr. Zuo, don't be impulsive!" Shen Xin broke out, "If you have something to say slowly, there must be a solution."

Seeing Zuo Yuan's actions, Shen Xin quickly stopped her and took a step forward involuntarily.

"Stop! If you take another step forward, I'll jump off!" Zuo Yuan said suddenly.

Shen Xin immediately spread her hands, "I'll listen to you."

"Mr. Shen, do you know? I have fantasized countless times about where I can formally meet you. Maybe we meet unexpectedly, or at some point, for example, today, at your book signing event, I I even imagined the scene when we met countless times... I never imagined that we would meet in this way."

Zuo Yuan stared at Shen Xin, and at the end, his tone was still very depressed.

"I didn't expect that either. To be honest, I'm still looking forward to your work..." Shen Xin explained.

"I'm looking forward to it too, but... what's the use!" Zuo Yuan suddenly became excited, clapping his hands on his chest, "The sales of the first volume are less than 4,000 copies, Mr. Shen, I won't have a chance to make a comeback in the future! "

If the sales of the first edition of the first volume are not good, then the subsequent first editions are likely to decline, and the first edition of the second volume may not even reach 50,000.

Magazines also need to avoid risks.

No matter how good Zuo Yuan's works are, there is one important point. He has never proven himself in the market. Under such circumstances, no platform can give him too many opportunities.

It sounds cruel, but comics are commercial creations. Since it is commercial, how can it not be cruel?

No, to be more precise, if you don't experience this kind of cruelty, how can you survive in the cruel competition?

"Mr. Shen, I really want to rely on serialization to survive... My wife's departure may be related to this, but I still want to try.

"I admit that I am not capable enough, so the first time I serialized, I couldn't publish a single book, and I cut it hastily, I know, I deserve it.

What about Minecraft? I don't expect to win the Golden Paintbrush at all, I don't even expect it to go to the second stage, I just want to support myself with comics. "Minecraft" obviously... already has readers, I didn't do anything, I was just painting, why was it voted? "

Recalling "Minecraft", Zuo Yuan is still puzzled why someone would target him.

"The matter of "My World" may be due to my bad luck. Thank you, Teacher Shen, for helping me when I was in the most difficult time. I will remember this kindness. It is you who let me continue to create comics. But Teacher Shen , What did I do wrong? "Returning to 12" also suffered this kind of treatment. This is not only my own work, but also the hard work of Teacher Yan...Why is there less than 4,000 copies sold? ...is this manga really that bad?"

Shen Xin was speechless.

In terms of creation, it is not easy to explain in one or two sentences, especially, like "Returning to 12 Years Old", it will be very fresh for readers who are tired of watching fighting, but such comics also have a Disadvantages, because it is composed of small stories, the plot is too stable, so once readers put it down, there is a high probability that they will not be able to pick it up. At this time, I encountered the D version again. The author himself is not well-known and has no loyal readers. , In this case, sales can easily collapse.

"Mr. Shen, I have read "Steel Refining", and I also like this comic very much. It is full of passion... it is moving, and it has depth. I like the sentence in it the most, 'Equivalent exchange'. I often reflect on myself, If you try your best, you should have a good result, because of 'equivalent exchange', as much as you pay, you will get as much. Even if you can't make a big hit, but there should be a certain return, right?

"You just said about dreams and readers, right? I gave up everything for my dreams... If they don't like my comics and choose not to read them, it's my incompetence, I have nothing to say. If they pay , Choose to complain, this is their right. Taking a step back, even if they are really struggling, and they really like "Back to 12" and choose to watch those free ones, I can understand that anyone has difficulties, If you really want my manga, I am also very happy.

"But, Mr. Shen, why do those people who read comics for free still scold me? What did I do wrong? I didn't get any benefits from them. My hard work, my persistence, my dream, if they think Worthless, just give up.

"Mr. Shen, what about an exchange of equal value? My dream, in exchange for sales of less than 4,000 copies and the scolding of those readers? Is this an exchange of equal value? Dreams... and readers, to me What's the point of talking about it?" Zuo Yuan roared hysterically.

The rain hit Zuo Yuan's face and slid down his cheeks, his eyes showed despair for the future.

Although she couldn't see clearly, Shen Xin could be sure that Zuo Yuan was crying at the moment.

"Mr. Shen, you are a good person. After meeting you, I have no regrets."

Zuo Yuan was about to turn around, but the police didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the worse. If Zuo Yuan turned around, he might jump off at any time.

"Wait a minute! Teacher Zuo, you've said so much, so it's time for me to say something!? Otherwise, what's the difference between you and those who scold you?"

Seeing that Zuo Yuan was about to turn around, Shen Xin quickly stopped Zuo Yuan.

Saving people is the most important thing, even if it is "chicken soup", he will pour it down for Zuo Yuan.
