My Cartoonist Guide

When returning to the residence, Xi Muhan was always depressed.

Until Shen Xin came out of the shower, Xi Muhan was also sitting on the sofa, frowning.

"What's the matter?" Shen Xin asked while wiping his wet hair.

"Brother, am I very useless?" Xi Muhan turned his head to face Shen Xin squarely.

"How is it possible?" Shen Xin shook his head, "Do you know? The results of "Ding Shi" and "Passing Through Girl" have been beyond the reach of many cartoonists in their entire lives."

"Brother, I thought I was already familiar with the comics circle and the profession of manga artist, but today, I suddenly found out that I don't know anything about manga artist..." Xi Muhan sullen his face, feeling frustrated in his heart. Show on the face.

"There is no need to know. Everyone has everybody's way of life, it doesn't have to be exactly the same." Shen Xin comforted.

"But, Brother Xin, how do you know this?" Xi Muhan asked.

"Me?" Shen Xin gave a dry smile.

He is more in touch with the Internet. Whether it is buyout or share, he knows a little bit. After crossing, he really rarely cares about the contracts of other comics, because those are not what he wants.

"I also came here from a novice step by step." Shen Xin found a reason and prevaricated, "You have been cooperating with Yan Fei since you entered this circle. Doesn't Yan Jie treat you as a treasure?"

Xi Muhan's face was ruddy, and he thought about it for a while and said, "It's not too good...to discuss the problem with you, I feel like an idiot and stupid."

"I just like your stupid look." Shen Xin smiled and sat beside Xi Muhan.

Xi Muhan's cheeks are reddish, but he looks straight at Shen Xin, "Brother, when I came back, I was thinking about one thing too. The buyout method is really good for the cartoonists, but if the performance of the cartoons is really bad, then pay for it. On one side, isn't it going to die at a loss."

"Yes, there is a possibility of losing money." Shen Xin nodded, taking the buyout in the net article for example, there is indeed a risk of losing money, and even the same batch may not be able to pay back, let alone comics.

In fact, the same is serialized on the Internet. When on the earth, the living environment of web comics is worse than that of the Internet.

"However, not all comics have the opportunity to sign a buyout. Because before signing the contract, the employer also depends on the quality of the work. If it doesn't work, it will definitely not be signed. Moreover, some comics are not long in length, poorly painted, and graded. It is not outstanding, but it will not affect its value. As long as the story is ok, and with the idea of ​​not being bad in its hands, the management will definitely find ways to sell the relevant copyright. If the quality of the animation or film and television drama is high, it may be In turn, it drives the comics.

"Then wait for the burst of money to come out, like "Full of Warm House", the management can use the money earned from "Full of Warm House" to fund other comics. If the quality of the comics is really bad and there is no value in copyright development, the management will definitely The comics will be cut off, but generally speaking, the length of the comics that can be serialized is longer than that of the magazine."

Shen Xin didn't think much about it, so he explained his understanding.

"In this way, the buyout method is really important to some cartoonists." Xi Muhan speculated.

"Not necessarily. This method can help cartoonists to have a relatively stable creative environment, but it also has its own shortcomings. Since the rewards are fixed, even if you draw a hit, the income will not change much. It’s easy for creators to lose motivation. For comics that can be of high quality, authors may lose their competitiveness because they will not have better returns. This is one reason."

If the environment is too stable, even without ups and downs, and a fixed salary is paid every month, the creators will relax.

"Also, the cycle of a comic is too long, as short as two or three years, or as long as more than ten years. If the cartoonist's income does not change, the subsequent life will be more difficult?" Shen Xin sighed.

Whether it’s online articles or comics, the creator’s dream is definitely not a dead salary.

"No one asked in the cold window of ten years, and became famous in one fell swoop." Even if it is a hard life, there must be hope.

"Brother, what do you mean is, is this model good or bad?"

"No matter what the model, in the final analysis, it still depends on the benefits. In other words, whether the benefits of both parties will reach a balance. Look...this time, either two people will solve it privately, or people outside the circle will know This matter. But there is one thing to say, it is difficult to solve it privately.

"why?"

"It's related to other cartoonists--Wei Mao will not give in for his own benefit, and the person who negotiates with him is even less likely to regress. Otherwise, other cartoonists under that person will compete to imitate, and the studio will be over. After all, he bought out the contract for the cartoonist, always for the purpose of making money, not for conscience. Look, when this person emerges, this is the real beginning."

"Oh, I found that the comic circles are so messy." Xi Muhan rubbed his face helplessly.

"Each industry has its own characteristics. If you want to know more about it, you can talk to Sister Yan tomorrow. Moreover, when it comes to understanding cartoonists, she must know more than Brother Wang."

"Isn't it? I remember that Brother Wang kept retorting me, but Sister Yan didn't say anything."

"Sister Yan not only has a higher level of instructing works than Brother Wang, she has served in "NewWorld", "MangaFly" and "ComicFuture" successively, and has served as the editor of Haruka Tamagawa. She has contact with more cartoonists than Brother Wang. However, Sister Yan thinks about problems, and she is more on the side of cartoonists, and sometimes she is not rational when dealing with things. On the contrary, Wang Ge is on the contrary, doing everything has a purpose, so he looks at problems more from the point of interest. Like today, he has a more thorough understanding of commissioned creation than Sister Yan."

Because the characteristics of the two people are too clear ~www.readwn.com~Shen Xin is difficult to choose, so he dug them from the editorial department of "ComicFuture". Moreover, the effect is really good. As for the fact that there is always one person who does not have much work, Shen Xin feels that this situation will soon change.

First of all, once Xi Muhan decides to create a comic, there must be someone responsible for her. Secondly, if Shen Xin wants to draw a comic that has not yet finished on the earth, he must give the original comic an ending. At this time, he will only rely on his own quality. It is difficult to be guaranteed. If two people consider the problem together, the effect will be much better.

Just like when he originally painted "DN", he chose to abandon the plot after L's death, and instead created an original ending. At this time, Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei need to check together to ensure the quality of the comics.

"Okay, rest early? If I guess right, there will be some melons to eat soon." Shen Xin stretched out, "I may not have time to pay attention to this matter, but you should be interested in this matter. Interested in the direction of things, right?"

Xi Muhan was a little skeptical of Shen Xin's speculation, but he would also be curious about what direction this matter would take.
