My Cartoonist Guide

The Internet has a characteristic. When something gets a certain degree of enthusiasm in a certain circle, the more you try to cover it up, it will attract more and more people.

Long Yao, Orochi, and Fan Yinmo wanted to expose the "video incident", so they wanted to suppress the heat of public opinion, and on the contrary, people noticed the incident.

As a result, many people who eat melons gave the video @ to many cartoonists.

Ye Hexu took the lead and sent out a Weibo.

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

After Ye Hexu sent Weibo, many cartoonists also expressed their attitudes. Although the popularity of Weibo has not risen, it is already the hottest topic on Manjia. The entire page of the forum is Discussing "video events".

"Why can't Teacher Wei control the fate of his work? Obviously selling so much money, but the bulk of it was earned by others. It's so pitiful."

"Not only there is no royalties for the pamphlet, but there is no copyright. The cartoonist relies on royalties. If the copyright can be sold, of course the best. As a result, Mr. Wei has nothing."

"Who is the person who is talking to Teacher Wei Mao? He looks very arrogant, he doesn't give him room for bargaining at all."

"Hope to find out sooner."

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

"Yes. Justice is on Teacher Wei's side."

"However, Mr. Shen Zheng, the most experienced cartoonist in China, has not yet expressed his opinion..."

"He doesn't know yet, right? Also, Teacher Shen is not a person who often goes on Weibo."

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

"How can I react? I must support Teacher Wei!"

...

As inferred on the Internet, Shen Xin really doesn't know about it yet.

Almost everyone, including the assistants, is working hard to create comics. Especially, in recent episodes, the plot of ";DUNK" has become suspense again due to the sudden outbreak of Chosen North, and whether there is tension in the gorgeous expression, it depends It seems particularly critical.

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

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

As the chief writer, Shen Xin had to focus more on the comic itself. By the time he finished the line draft of the last drawing, the 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 are also with them, seeming to be arguing about something.

Shen Xin turned off the light in the small office, locked the door with his backhand, pushed Wang Wenhong's studio aside, and asked softly, "Don't go back?"

"Brother, you came just right." Xi Muhan stood up, waved at Shen Xin, and motioned for him to come in.

"Huh?" Shen Xin looked puzzled and closed the door with his backhand.

"Brother, a big event happened online, do you know?"

"Unheard of." Shen Xin shook his head.

"Brother...I haven't said yet?" Xi Muhan couldn't laugh or cry.

"But I really don't know. I just want to finish the comics as soon as possible. We really want a baby." Shen Xin said seriously.

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

"They all have children..." Shen Xin muttered, seeing that Xi Muhan's cheeks were slightly red, and he didn't discuss the matter anymore, "What's the important thing you just said?"

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

Shen Xin nodded, "Is it finished?"

"No. The author is in trouble."

"Huh?" Shen Xin was taken aback, his eyes were fixed on Wang Wenhong, "I remember he seemed to be very famous."

"Yes, I often see him on TV. This video just released a video on the Internet saying, "How many books are sold, his income is inconvenient", and it seems that there is no copyright."

"Really?" Shen Xin rubbed his chin, always feeling Wang Wenhong's words familiar.

"It's hateful! It's really mean 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.

"Single page 500? Not very high." Shen Xin said casually.

"The video on the Internet is the one in which he wants to increase the manuscript fee. He wants to mention 2,000 yuan from a single page of 500 yuan." Xi Muhan explained.

"2000 yuan a page?" Shen Xin was taken aback. "So high?"

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

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

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

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

"Then it was'exploded'. The two sides didn't negotiate, and the quarrel was very stiff. Later, someone posted a video of the two people's negotiation on the Internet." Wang Wenhong spread his hands and said, "Originally, each step back, things are compared. It's easy to solve. Now it's estimated to be dead. There are also 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 some people are also skeptical. Why did he sign this contract in the first place."

"So that's the case." Shen Xin's arms crossed his chest, and he roughly understood the whole process. He couldn't laugh or cry. "Who made the video? Isn't this a mess?"

"I don't know ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The party hasn't spoken yet, but the Internet has already been heated up. Weibo has not been hot, 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, and no royalty income. There is only a unit price of 500 yuan per page. There is no doubt that this is a work buyout. In short, it is to give everyone a more acceptable price and give the author all the money at once. Since then, the comics' royalties 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 network platform or a magazine and other platforms, commissioning cartoonists to create comics. Precisely because of this kind of entrustment agreement, the copyright will fall into the hands of the entrusting party.

This contract is different from the contract signed by cartoonists such as Shen Xin and Ye Hexu. Like Shen Xin, he is a licensing contract, that is, he authorizes his works to "ComicFuture" and "Young Leap" for serialization or sale, but the final copyright Still in Shen Xin's hands.

There is a clear difference between the two.
