Chapter 887: News

At the beginning, Lu Yingxue was a little cautious, but as time went by, after everyone talked about it, he became more at ease.

Both Kong Xian and Lu Yingxue were guests, so Shen Xin wanted to keep them for dinner.

Lu Yingxue glanced at Shen Xin's fingers, and quickly waved her hands.

"Mr. Shen, are you still busy? I won't bother you."

"Ah?" Shen Xin glanced at the ink in her hand and laughed dryly, "I'm really busy with my new work."

"You don't use a digital screen?" Lu Yingxue asked.

"It's in use, now it's the preparation stage, because I want to change the style of painting, so I need to use a dip pen."

For works like "", he prefers to use a dip pen, because the pen pressure of the dip pen is better, and the drawing is more tactile. Compared with the digital screen, it is weaker in this respect.

Hearing Shen Xin's words, Lu Yingxue and Kong Xian had different expressions.

He was curious about what Shen Xin's new work would look like. After all, with Shen Xin's ability, he had to change the style of painting, which meant that the next work was not ordinary.

Kong Xian thought more about it.

Before, she was still thinking about whether she wanted to have lunch, but seeing what Shen Xin said, she immediately lost the mood to eat.

She is not in charge of ComicFuture, but she belongs to Yishu Culture.

It's fine if she doesn't know, but now that she knows, she can't just sit idly by.

However, Shen Xin's status is quite special, he has not signed a contract with any domestic magazine, "ComicFuture" has the advantage that it has cooperated with Shen Xin more times, and can also give Shen Xin the bargaining chip she wants.

"That... Readers are also waiting for Mr. Shen's new work, er, it's more appropriate to describe it as 'looking forward to'. Everyone hopes to see Mr. Shen's work as soon as possible." Kong Xian said.

Shen Xin glanced at Kong Xian, thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Editor Kong, don't worry, I'm still making preparations, and when the work comes out, I will definitely let your company know."

"This is the best." Kong Xian nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly left with Lu Yingxue without stopping.

After Ji Yinxuan sent the two of them away, she returned to Shen Xin's residence, where Shen Xin was holding a piece of bread to satisfy her hunger.

"Sorry, I delayed you a lot today." Ji Yinxuan apologized.

"Nothing, it's not bad to meet the top illustrators in China." After swallowing, Shen Xin took another sip of milk, "And, maybe in the future, you may have many opportunities to cooperate."

"Um?"

"Mobile games..." Shen Xin shrugged her shoulders, "If it's an ordinary game, the relationship between the game manufacturer and the illustrator may not be so close after the character design is determined, but sometimes the version of mobile games is updated, There will be new characters, and until then, the production team will keep in touch with the illustrator."

"Yes." Ji Yinxuan nodded.

The development of mobile games is one thing, and the operation is another.

With Magi's current strength, it is really impossible to take too much into account.

Fortunately, they are also making a stand-alone mobile game for Zhenyu Technology, which can be regarded as accumulating experience.

Ji Yinxuan also understands the reason why she can't eat a fat man in one bite, and there are some things that can't be rushed, so it's better to make "Stones;Gate" first to build a good reputation.

From this aspect, it is also necessary for Magi and Lu Yingxue to have a good relationship.

In the final analysis, whether it is a mobile game or a stand-alone game, the impact of human design on the game is still quite large. In particular, having a top illustrator as a character design will have an inexplicable appeal to many players.

As a producer, Ji Yinxuan is well aware of these.

In this way, meeting Lu Yingxue today is not a bad thing.

...

Kong Xian drove Lu Yingxue back to her residence without stopping, and immediately drove back to Yishu Culture.

After entering the office building, she didn't even return to her office, but went straight to the editorial office of "ComicFuture".

The other editors were working with their heads down, while Shang Haozhi, Yu Chen, and Zeng Yue were sitting in the conference room on the back talking.

Kong Xian tapped on the glass door twice,

The three looked at Kong Xian together.

"What kind of secret meeting are the three bosses having?" Kong Xian pushed open a small gap and said softly.

"How can there be any secrets? It's just talking about something related to comics." Yu Chen smiled, "It's you, I haven't seen you recently, what are you up to?"

"It seems to be working on "Steins;Gate", right? It's one of the most popular light novels on the Internet recently." Zeng Yue explained.

"Steins;Gate" is being serialized in Qingyue, and he also knows something about "Steins;Gate".

"I've heard of this comic, what level is it?" Yu Chen asked.

"A masterpiece." Kong Xian and Zeng Yue said in unison.

Shang Haozhi and Yu Chen were taken aback when they heard their comments.

Kong Xian is the editor-in-chief of "Qichuang Library", responsible for light novels. When she said "magic works", she must be thinking from the perspective of light novels. Zeng Yue was a manga editor. He said "magic works" from the perspective of light novels Narration in comics.

The two people invariably gave the evaluation of "Masterpiece", which proves that the quality of "Steins;Gate" is indeed very high.

"How is it now?" Shang Haozhi asked curiously.

"The copyright of the novel should be relevant. The next details need to be discussed with Ji Yinxuan." Kong Xian continued.

"Wait, according to what you mean, it seems that you only won the copyright of the novel." Shang Haozhi asked.

"It would be nice to get the copyright of the novel." Kong Xian pulled a chair and sat down, taking a deep breath, "If I didn't run fast, the novel copyright would be gone, and there would still be four magazines waiting. Another doesn't show up at all, I can't negotiate with him, I have to discuss everything with Ji Yinxuan. Ji Yinxuan is also the founder of magi, she definitely wants the copyright of the game, so the copyright of "Stones;Gate" belongs to her It was demolished. Many people are looking forward to such a work. In order to create a selling point, after I get the copyright, I will invite Mr. Snow to be the illustrator.”

"What about the comic copyright?" Zeng Yue asked.

"Mr. Lu Ning is responsible for drawing the comics, and the platform is undecided," Kong Xian said.

"Mr. Lu Ning is our author?" Zeng Yue asked Yu Chen.

"It's useless. The contract is about to expire, and her contract needs to be renegotiated." Yu Chen shook his head.

"She doesn't have other ideas, does she?" Shang Haozhi interrupted suddenly.

"There should be, otherwise, she would have signed the contract long ago." Yu Chen replied.

Hearing this, Shang Haozhi put the teacup heavily on the table, and the tea inside also splashed out.

"Current cartoonists... are not satisfied with the 'exclusive contract system'." Shang Haozhi frowned.

"That is, after all, now that Mr. Shen has stepped out of the contract, other cartoonists will inevitably have some ideas." Zeng Yue said suddenly.

"Mr. Shen is Mr. Shen, and other people are other people. Can it be the same?" Shang Haozhi asked back.

"In the final analysis, it is the weakness of paper magazines that makes "ComicFuture" less attractive." Kong Xian sighed.

Not only "ComicFuture", the sales volume of "Qichuang Library" has also dropped a lot compared with before.

"That can't be helped. Readers have more choices, and the sales of magazines are also declining. What's more, Duoman.com has been booming recently, attracting many authors and readers. "

Yu Chen did not take the blame for the decline in magazine sales.

It wasn't him blowing it up, even if Shang Haozhi came over, the result would be the same.

"But another is also very experienced in doing things, knowing how to split the copyright, he doesn't look like a newcomer." Shang Haozhi commented.

"It must be an old man. At least he is familiar with the two-dimensional circle. If he is a newcomer, he should be satisfied if he can sign a contract. How can he ask for conditions?" Kong Xian sighed.

"By the way, there are two more things I want to tell the three of you."

"Um?"

"If you have any ideas about the comic copyright of "Steins;Gate", please discuss it quickly. If it is too late, it may be taken away by other magazines. Also, Mr. Shen said that his new work is already in preparation , I just don’t know when the manuscript will be released. So, I’m here to remind everyone.” Kong Xian said the purpose of coming here.
