Chapter 1160 Different Modes

There is a characteristic of the Internet. When something has a certain degree of heat in a certain circle, the more you try to cover it up, the more people will be involved.

Long Yao, Orochi, and Fan Yinmo wanted to expose the "video incident", so they wanted to suppress the heat of public opinion, and instead drew people's attention to it.

As a result, many people who eat melons posted the video x-on: to many cartoonists.

Ye Hexu was the first to post a Weibo.

"The work is the painstaking effort of the cartoonist. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is his son. However, listening to the conversation in the video, it seems that the copyright is not in the hands of Mr. Wei. No matter what the other party does, is this appropriate?"

After Ye Hexu posted Weibo, many cartoonists also expressed their attitudes. Although the popularity of Weibo did not go up, this matter has become the hottest topic on Manjia.com. The entire page of the forum is full of Discussing "Video Events".

"Why can't Mr. Wei control the fate of his own work? He obviously sold so much money, but in the end the bulk was made by other people. It's really pitiful."

"Not only are there no royalties for the booklet, but there is also no copyright. Cartoonists rely on royalties to make their fortunes. It would be best if the copyright could be sold. As a result, Teacher Wei has nothing."

"Who is that person talking to Mr. Wei Mao? He looks very arrogant, and he doesn't give any room for bargaining at all."

"I hope to find out soon."

"Many cartoonists have expressed their views on this matter, and the cartoonists all support Teacher Wei."

"That's right. Justice is on Teacher Wei's side."

"However, Mr. Shen Zheng, the most qualified cartoonist in China, hasn't expressed his opinion yet..."

"He probably doesn't know yet? Besides, Mr. Shen is not a person who often goes on Weibo."

"That's right, I don't know how he will react when he sees this news."

"How else can I react? It must be supporting Teacher Wei!"

...

As inferred from the Internet, Shen Xin really didn't know about it yet.

including assistants,

Almost everyone is working hard to create comics, especially in the last few episodes, the plot of "; DUNK" has become suspenseful again because of the sudden outbreak of Zebei, and whether the gorgeous expression has tension is particularly critical.

Coupled with the increase in the confrontation of characters, the difficulty of drawing the picture is also not low.

From the current point of view, the excitement of this story has surpassed the promotion match between Xiangbei and Lingnan, and the difficulties Shangong caused to Xiangbei also exceeded readers' expectations.

As the lead writer, Shen Xin had to focus more on the manga itself. By the time he finished drawing the line draft of the last sketch, his assistants had already left and returned to their residences, but the dormitories of Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong were still lit. Deng and Xi Muhan were also with them, seeming to be arguing about something.

Shen Xin turned off the lights in the small office, locked the door behind her back, pushed Wang Wenhong's studio away, and asked softly, "Aren't you going back?"

"Brother, you came just in time." Xi Muhan stood up, waved to Shen Xin, motioning for him to come in.

"Huh?" Shen Xin looked puzzled, and closed the door behind her back.

"Brother, a big event happened on the Internet, do you know?"

"I've never heard of it." Shen Xin shook her head.

"Brother... haven't I said it yet?" Xi Muhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"But I really don't know, I just want to finish the manga quickly, we really want a child." Shen Xin said seriously.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Sister Yan and Brother Wang are still here."

"They all have children..." Shen Xin muttered, seeing Xi Muhan's cheeks flushed slightly, she didn't discuss this matter further, "What was the big thing you mentioned just now?"

Hearing Shen Xin ask about this matter, Xi Muhan also shifted his attention to another matter: "You know "Full House", right? We've seen it before."

Shen Xin nodded, "Did you finish the draft?"

"No. The author got in trouble."

"Huh?" Shen Xin was taken aback for a moment, and then fixed her gaze on Wang Wenhong, "I remember that he seems to be very famous."

"Yeah, I often see him on TV. This one, a video has just been exposed on the Internet, saying that 'how much the book sells, his income is inconvenient', and it seems that there is no copyright yet."

"Really?" Shen Xin rubbed her chin, feeling that Wang Wenhong's words sound familiar.

"It's abominable! It's really despicable for such a person to swallow the copyright fees of cartoonists." Xi Muhan clenched his fists, filled with righteous indignation.

"How does that cartoonist make money?" Shen Xin asked.

"Fixed manuscript fee. Only 500 yuan per page." Xi Muhan explained.

"500 per page? It's not very high." Shen Xin said casually.

"The video on the Internet is the one where he wants to increase the manuscript fee. He wants to raise the price from 500 yuan to 2,000 yuan per page." Xi Muhan explained.

"2000 yuan per page?" Shen Xin was taken aback, "So high?"

"Is it tall?" Xi Muhan was a little confused.

"It's a bit high." Shen Xin smiled wryly, "This 2,000 yuan manuscript must have the potential to become a pillar-level comic, otherwise, it won't be able to offer such a high price."

"But... "Full House" is the pillar of "Girls' Century"." Xi Muhan corrected.

Shen Xin did not refute, but continued to ask: "And then?"

"Then it 'bombed'. The two sides did not reach an agreement, and the dispute was very stiff. Later, someone posted a video of the two people'negotiations" on the Internet." Wang Wenhong spread his hands, "Originally, each took a step back, and things were more complicated. It is easy to solve, but now it is estimated that it will be dead. There are different opinions on the Internet. Most people think that the salary is too low. With Wei Mao's worth, the unit price of 500 yuan per page is not in line with his current reputation. But there are still people who doubt , Why did he sign this contract in the first place.”

"So that's how it is." Shen Xin folded her arms around her chest, she roughly understood the whole process, and couldn't laugh or cry, "Who took the video? Isn't this just making trouble?"

"I don't know. The person involved hasn't spoken yet, but the Internet has already become a buzz. Weibo has never been popular, but there are a lot of discussions on Manjia." Yan Fei said.

Hearing Wang Wenhong's explanation, Shen Xin already understood in his heart.

There is no copyright income or royalty income, only a unit price of 500 yuan per page. There is no doubt that this is a work buyout. In short, it is a price that everyone can accept, and the money is given to the author at one time. From then on, the royalties of the comics and other income have nothing to do with the original author.

Therefore, this buyout model is also called a commission agreement, which is equivalent to a platform such as an online platform or a magazine entrusting cartoonists to create cartoons. Because of this entrustment agreement, the copyright will fall into the hands of the entrusting party.

This contract is different from the contracts signed by cartoonists such as Shen Xin and Ye Hexu. Like Shen Xin, he is an authorization contract, that is, he authorizes his works to "Comic Future" and "Youth Leap" to be serialized or released, but in the end The copyright is still in Shen Xin's hands.

There is a clear difference between the two.
