My Cartoonist Guide

"Studio?" Shen Xin didn't understand Lu Yingxue's meaning.

There are many types of studios. Ordinary cartoonists, plus assistants, can be called studios in general. Like him, he hires independent editors and assistants on a special trip, and he is also a studio without the relationship with magazines.

I don't know what kind of Lu Yingxue said.

"If it is a studio like ours, in fact, I do more to make it easier for everyone. Just like Brother Wang and Sister Yan, they were originally the leading editors of the magazine. I invited them to come over, on the one hand, to check the comics. On the other hand, considering that as the age increases, everyone has a family and will lose part of their energy. Also, in order to reduce the workload in the future, I may hire other assistants, right?" Shen Xin also He didn't make up his mind, but he already had this plan.

In the future, if there are only 7 assistants, there is still a certain amount of pressure, because there is a group to be separated to be responsible for coloring or other tasks. Furthermore, he didn't need to make himself and his assistants so tired to save money.

Wang Wenhong was a little surprised. He hadn't heard of Shen Xin's plan in this regard before, but considering the possibility of serializing two comics in the future, it is reasonable to hire a few more assistants.

"Of course not." Lu Yingxue waved her hand quickly and looked at the seven assistants with a little fever. "The studio of the teacher's model should be the top match of the cartoonist, right? It has its own assistants and its own. Responsible editor...Well, most authors would envy it. But I’m talking about another one."

"Huh?" Shen Xin looked at Lu Yingxue suspiciously.

Yan Fei also walked over at this time and nodded to Shen Xin, indicating that the draft had been checked.

"It's the kind of... a studio where one person convenes a group of cartoonists to provide funding and environment for the cartoonists." Lu Yingxue explained, "All kinds of comics are run by the studio, and the cartoonists only get a fixed salary. To create comics."

"You have heard of this kind of studio, right?" Shen Xin glanced at Wang Wenhong.

"I know, I asked Mr. Shen at the time whether we can do this? After all, Mr. Shen's reputation is the guarantee. But Mr. Shen refused." Wang Wenhong nodded.

"Why? If Teacher Shen is taking the lead, there should be many people participating. There are few opportunities to create cartoons with Teacher Shen." Lu Yingxue doubted.

"For the sake of profit, it is easy for cartoonists to tear their faces apart. My money is enough to spend, why do I have to take this muddy water?" Shen Xin asked back.

Speaking of cartoonists, many people think that cartoonists are different from others. One is a house, and the other is incompetent. People draw cartoons mostly for dreams and hobbies. Therefore, they feel that cartoonists are indifferent to fame and wealth.

Those who have such thoughts can only say that they are too young.

Even for hobbies and dreams, there is a limit, because cartoonists live in a real world and cannot be separated from reality. Whether it is famous or profitable, it is just needed for cartoonists. Otherwise, it will be ok for cartoonists to directly feed for free.

When on the earth, some studios or cartoonists, in order to increase the exposure of the station, even at the expense of their own health, double change a week, in order to let more people know about this comic, but also to increase income, better stay alive.

Similarly, the cartoonists serialized in the magazine, in order not to be cut in half, revised the manuscript overnight, and discussed the plot with the editor in charge all night for more than just feelings.

Anyone who has watched "Dream Eater" knows that the protagonist, the most sincere uncle Nobuhiro Majo, became a manga artist in order to marry Haruno Miyuki, a girl he likes in middle school, and the two have a crush on each other. At the age of 30, Nobuhiro's manga was finally made into an animation, but the other party was already married to other people.

If Shinhiro Majo can achieve both fame and fortune, there would be no such tragedy, and he would never leave the world at the age of 39. Of course, if Shinhiro Majo really marries Haruno Miyuki, then it is impossible for the highest to become a manga artist. After all, the highest motivation to become a manga artist is to marry Azu Miho, and Haruno Miho is the mother of Azu Miho.

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." What cartoonists want is to earn a living from hobbies, not to generate power for feelings.

Some people talk about fame and fortune for cartoonists, but cartoonists themselves are ordinary people, just given the title of cartoonist.

If there is an interest entanglement, there will inevitably be a conflict. Even a well-known comics studio, once there is an interest dispute, it may tear its face, and it will not only damage the relationship between the cartoonists, but also the reputation.

Shen Xin had seen similar things on Earth, so he made up his mind not to get involved with other cartoonists. As for the cooperation with Ji Yinxuan, Shen Xin also only accepts due compensation, how to make the game, how to operate, where he needs to cooperate, he will cooperate according to Ji Yinxuan's request, otherwise, he will not bother at all. .

Lu Yingxue didn't know Shen Xin's thoughts, she looked confused when she heard Shen Xin's words.

According to his thoughts, Shen Xin would at least show interest or disgust, but he did not expect his reaction to be so calm.

"So teacher, what do you think of the emergence of this kind of studio?" Lu Yingxue asked.

Shen Xin smiled suddenly, "Mr. Lu, you are like a reporter."

Lu Yingxue's face was instantly flushed and embarrassed: "Sorry, I just want to ask, is this model right or wrong?"

"It's hard to say that when the comics industry develops to a certain stage, the emergence of studios is inevitable, unless the major platforms strictly require that once they find that there are studio works, they will immediately terminate the contract. But in reality, it is difficult to do so."

"Why?" Lu Yingxue asked puzzledly.

"If a comic can bring a lot of money to the platform, do you guess that the platform will terminate the contract with the cartoonist because of the studio?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"..."

Just as Lu Yingxue was about to explain, he suddenly thought of "The Devil's Family Education" and "A World Without Demons". To some extent, these two comics are also works by the studio, but will the platform really terminate the contract?

not necessarily.

Because the performance of comics is so good, it has brought too much benefit to the platform.

"Mr. Lu~www.wuxiaspot.com~ why did you suddenly become interested in the studio?" Wang Wenhong smiled.

"Uh, actually, my friend just now belongs to a studio. She just wants to jump out and try "ComicFuture" after drawing the comics in her hand. So, I was curious about what Teacher Shen would think Such a studio."

"I don't think much. Even without this studio, there will be other studios... Moreover, as more and more web comics choose to color, the number of studios will increase." Shen Xin did not do it himself. But it will not stop others from doing it.

Sometimes, in order to live a better life, people need to group together properly, but how to grasp the "degree" is very important.

In fact, many industries have studios, but the comics industry is quite special, because a comic from obscurity to a small reputation is likely to take several years, even more than ten years, and in this process, once The cartoonist is at a disadvantage and will be very uncomfortable. But the studio may also have put a lot of effort into the comics boom, and the underlying costs are not known to the cartoonists.

In short, the studio may win or lose.
