My Cartoonist Guide

Yuan Zhe was chatting with Shen Xin, but Yu Chen, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed and said: "Mr. Shen is now our author, Mr. Yuan, please pay attention."

There is a warning in the tone.

"Wrong." Yuan Zhe shook his finger, "Ms. Shen is not your author. You just signed the work with him, that's all, right? Mr. Shen."

While speaking, Yuan Zhe shifted his gaze to Shen Xin's body.

Shen Xin raised his brows slightly, but made no sound.

Of course, there is no problem with Yuan Zhe's words. At the beginning, he had a stalemate with "ComicFuture" and Bao Jiyi, in order to get out of the comic circle.

Today, it can be said that he jumped out, but no one can follow, which also made Shen Xin feel sorry.

If you think about it, there are objective reasons for this.

A cartoonist is not like a writer on the Internet. It is a systematic profession. The serialization of a cartoon is not only related to the cartoonist, but also to the editor and assistant.

In order to maintain a high-intensity serialization without being cut in half, the cartoonists must achieve the ultimate in every detail of the cartoon. Therefore, most cartoonists submit the manuscript according to the deadline and take a break of four or five hours a day. It is a common occurrence.

Double open?

First, ensure that you have the strength and energy to double open.

Therefore, even if it can be serialized on different platforms, most authors will not do it.

On the one hand, it is not qualified to bargain with the platform, on the other hand, it is because of the inability to double open.

All things considered, although the idea of ​​being separated from the major platforms will be very anticipated, more often, only one comic can be drawn.

Shen Xin didn't choose double-opening when drawing ";DUNK". One reason was that the drawing of ";DUNK" was relatively difficult. Besides, he had all the achievements and honors he should have, and he didn't have to fight like that.

This is not laziness, but because only by ensuring health can we draw comics for a longer period of time.

Today, Yuan Zhe used Shen Xin’s attitude and practice to refute Yu Chen. Yu Chen has no way to fight back because these are facts. Although Shen Xin is only serialized in ";DUNK" in China in name, he wants to refute it. Yuan Zhe's words, even if Shen Xin didn't speak on the surface, he would definitely have opinions in his heart.

";DUNK" is over soon, and he has to sign for Shen Xin's next comic.

The pressure on Yu Chen's shoulders is also great.

The air suddenly solidified, and none of the three of them knew how to break the subject.

Wang Wenhong scratched his head, thinking how to interrupt, Shi Ping, the chairman of the Cartoonists Association, walked towards these people with his hands behind his back.

"Everyone, good evening."

"Hi teacher." Shen Xin nodded quickly.

Yuan Zhe, Yu Chen and Wang Wenhong also greeted Shi Ping one after another.

"Everyone, if you are on stage later, are you ready?"

Yu Chen and Yuan Zhe nodded quickly.

Shi Ping looked at Shen Xin again, "Mr. Shen, you should be the last one to speak at the press conference later. In short, thank you for your hard work."

"I know, this is also my part." Shen Xin said.

"However, there is still one thing that may have troubled you..." Shi Ping hesitated to say something.

"Ok?"

"That's it. After the Fan Yinmo incident came out, the association contacted several platforms privately and confirmed the changes to the'Comic Festival'. Since the studio appeared, it was difficult to put an end to it, and it was difficult to find their handle. After the discussion at that time, I feel that “blocking is not as good as sparse”, and put all these institutions and studios on the surface. The second-level awards focus on digging out those cartoonists who are serialized on small platforms, including those who draw in the studio. ."

Shen Xin nodded, these are exactly what he discussed with Yu Chen at the beginning, and it seems that Yu Chen should have talked to several platforms.

"However, there is still another problem. In fact, I just discovered it just now. In the Manjia.com forum, someone raised a question, why can't all cartoonists select the prize of 3 million together. There are also reasons, part of the reason is If all the cartoonists are counted, the workload is too much, and we can't do it. More importantly, the bosses of other magazines are unwilling to distribute the money to cartoonists on second-tier platforms."

The 3 million bonus is funded by first-line magazines and the Cartoonists Association. They don't want this fund to fall behind other magazines.

This is also to safeguard the interests of these magazines.

"That's it." Shen Xin rubbed his chin, "In fact, it's easier to solve it."

"Ok?"

"The next level of the'best long story' is published once a year, and the higher level is published once every three years. The three comics that have won the second level of the'best long story' are eligible to run for a bonus of 3 million, so it's not enough."

"No way? The money from several of our platforms is sent to cartoonists who have nothing to do with us. It's not reasonable, right?" Yuan Zhe shook his head.

The bonus of 3 million yuan is allocated to each first-line platform, which is only a few hundred thousand yuan, and each session is separated by three years. For these platforms, it is not a large sum of money, but what makes Yuan Zhe feel stuck. , Why should be distributed to people who have nothing to do with them.

"Mr. Yuan, don't explain to me. I come from a small magazine, and I know how important such an opportunity is to cartoonists. Each of you has the best authors and can use the most resources, so you won’t lose confidence. Can't win, right? That's too bad." Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"Ahem... I'll mention that you may not have won. Teacher Shen, you just said that you came from a small magazine, but you defeated Yelaoshr at the'Comic Festival'."

Yuan Zhe has a good memory and has not forgotten this incident.

"Mr. Yuan, that was the selection of the Newcomer Award. Don't you think that I could win the'Best Feature' at that time?"

"That's not true." Yuan Zhe shook his head.

"That's it. If the cartoonists on the second-line platform really get a bonus of 3 million, isn't it necessary to reflect on your magazines? What's more, the cartoonists association jumped the awarding time to three years apart~www.NovelMTL. Isn’t com also improving the fault tolerance rate? After all, which magazine does not save a few signs in three years? If in this case, the second-tier platform is still awarded, I suggest that the first-line platform The serialization of the comics, the collective end." Shen Xin narrowed his eyes and showed a smile that he thought was pretty good.

His last sentence was somewhat joking, but in the hearts of several other people, they felt pressure.

The teacher opened his mouth, and finally sighed.

He also didn't expect Shen Xin's answer to be so "piercing", but it was a fact.

The selection of some platforms is inherently strict, and the cartoons that can be selected and compete for the "best feature" are definitely the signs of the platform.

Such a work, being surpassed by second-tier magazines, can only show that the comics serialized on first-tier platforms are indeed not good.

"Ah, wait until we go back to discuss it? This matter is not in a hurry."

This matter involves the interests of too many people, and Shi Ping dare not rashly agree to it.
