Tribal comics.
Inside the meeting room.
The new supervisor Lingkong said sternly: "Tribe Comics is now the highest-ranked website in the industry, but I don't want everyone to slack off because of this. The department still has huge room for improvement. The issue I want to raise today is that the company is too lenient in the contracts of top writers. Of course, I am not saying that my predecessor did a bad job. On the contrary, she did a very good job. She used the most favorable conditions to attract more than 90% of the industry's outstanding cartoonists to our website, which enabled our website to grow rapidly. But when our website develops and can provide authors with better resources and conditions, does it also mean that they will have to come back more often? My predecessor did not do well in this regard. Doing business is not about personal relationships, and no company relies on personal relationships as a support link to maintain its existence..."
No one in the audience spoke.
As soon as the new supervisor came in, he made drastic reforms to the company system, with a very obvious tendency to "de-Han Jimei".
This is also a very normal thing.
The new director did not like being accused of being a profiteer in Tribal Comics.
He was eager to make the website better and prove that he was more suitable for his current position than Han Jimei.
After the opening remarks.
Lingkong looked at the deputy editor-in-chief on his right: "How is the negotiation going with Shadow?"
The deputy editor-in-chief looked embarrassed: "They don't want to cut off "The Kindaichi Case Files"."
Lingkong frowned. "Didn't you make it clear? I can give them the best contract, but Yingzi's current work doesn't deserve his treatment. I need him to show a higher value to prove that the company's concessions to him in the contract are worth it."
"It's clear..."
The deputy editor-in-chief smiled bitterly: "But Teacher Yingzi won't listen to our company's... Chief Han... Well, Han Jimei also said that Tribe Comics will give Yingzi the greatest creative freedom..."
"Do you understand now?"
Lingkong swept his eyes across the audience and said, "My predecessor spoiled all the cartoonists, especially the top cartoonists. If he wants to continue drawing, of course he can, but the recommendation intensity should be appropriately reduced until he realizes that his performance is really unworthy of his treatment. I believe you are all very clear about my philosophy: word of mouth is worthless in front of sales, and this will also be the philosophy of our website in the future."
"that… "
The deputy editor spoke up, "But Shadow promised to start a new comic."
"Double opening?"
The other editors all showed surprised expressions.
One of the editors hesitated for a moment and said:
"The fact that Mr. Yingzi decided to double-open his account shows that although he did not follow your request completely, he still made a concession. In his previous three comics, Mr. Yingzi never made concessions to the company..."
Many people around nodded.
Many of you here are old editors from Han Jimei’s era.
These veteran editors all know that Shadow’s attitude is quite assertive when communicating with Tribal Comics.
Before the release of "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma", Han Jimei had persuaded Yingzi to change his mind because the market for food comics was not good.
But Shadow ignored him.
Shadow's willingness to open two accounts at the same time this time can indeed be understood as a concession, which is already very rare.
"Um."
Ling Kong's expression eased a little: "If that's the case, then it's fine. Cartoonists are very similar to those pedantic writers. I can understand that they want to save face, and I can give them this face... What is the subject of the new work?"
"Reasoning..."
The deputy editor-in-chief spoke in a low voice.
"What?"
Lingkong thought he had heard wrongly.
"Reasoning..."
The deputy editor-in-chief's voice became even quieter, like a mosquito, but everyone in the audience could hear it clearly.
Swish, swish, swish!
Everyone's face suddenly became strange.
The corner of Lingkong's eye twitched violently.
Are you kidding me
Continue writing reasoning
Who doesn't know that the poor performance of "The Case Files of Young Kindaichi" lies in the word "reasoning"
This thing is too niche!
As a result, his new work even conflicts with reasoning, as if he has to use reasoning to prove himself. He is so stubborn!
"I think it's understandable that Shadow did this. He's very capable. He must have learned the lessons from The Kindaichi Case Files by continuing to draw detective stories..."
The editor-in-chief who had said that Shadow had given in earlier spoke up.
"Shut up!"
Ling Kong interrupted him coldly: "Either change the subject matter, or reduce the contract benefits, and... forget it, I will talk to him in person this time!"
"But… "
“I don’t want to repeat it a second time!”
Ling Kong said coldly: "You call this a concession? I think this is a provocation. He is not solving the problem at all but is going further and further down a problematic path!"
No one dared to speak.
Faintly, everyone heard Ling Kong growl angrily: "Are you sick?"
The office became quieter.
The two managers before and after the comic tribe have two completely different leadership styles.
Han Jimei is gentle and kind, and he gets along well with cartoonists.
The disadvantage is that sometimes they are too concerned with personal relationships and give cartoonists preferential treatment that exceeds industry standards.
Lingkong is purely profit-oriented and rules-oriented.
His collaboration with cartoonists is purely commercial in nature and there is no room for personal relationships.
In fact.
Before Ling Kong took over from Han Jimei, the department he was in charge of had very good performance.
It's not that he is incompetent, but he is the kind of loser who was able to replace Han Jimei because of his company connections.
Do you have to say he has some black spots
The entire company knew that this was a person who would do anything to achieve his goals. That was how Han Jimei left the company.
certainly.
There is an even bigger reason.
…
Inside the shadow studio.
Luo Wei looked at a group of assistants:
"Next, the update of "The Case Files of Young Kindaichi" will be accelerated. Everyone will participate in the painting. You have been studying with Teacher Yingzi for so long, and you should be able to paint independently. At the same time, we are going to open a new pit..."
Everyone nodded excitedly!
Here we have to talk about the daily life of the studio.
Lin Yuan is the comic creator and main writer. He is also Luo Wei's master and often teaches Luo Wei how to paint Chinese paintings.
In addition to Chinese painting, Lin Yuan also teaches Luo Wei to draw comics.
Under the aura of a teacher, Luo Wei's comic skills improved rapidly, and she is now qualified to ghostwrite for Lin Yuan again.
In his spare time, Lin Yuan also teaches other assistants in the studio how to draw comics.
The teacher's halo has been activated. Under his teaching one by one over the past few years, the painting ability of his assistants has improved by leaps and bounds!
Everyone is now eager to show off their skills!
God knows how much they have learned from Shadow Teacher!
Of course, there was a reason why Lin Yuan did this.
Because he will publish a lot of comics in the future, he cannot draw them all by himself, and Luo Wei is not good enough either, so he must train more helpers.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Yuan would not be able to train a group of painting masters within a few years.
No one can do it!
But Lin Yuan just happens to have this abnormal cheat called "Teacher's Halo"!
Therefore, in today’s studio, any assistant has terrifying painting skills!
If these young assistants from Shadow Studio were to go out, even if they couldn't create comics independently, they would at least be able to become excellent pure painters!
If this group of people work together to create, the speed of creation will be unprecedented!
In other words.
Lin Yuan's studio definitely has a lineup of top-notch painters that no other comic studio on Blue Star can match!
This is a tiny studio!
There is a group of painters who have not yet made their debut but have been developing silently for several years under the aura of Master Lin Yuan!
And next.
These assistants are about to officially come out!
Don't talk about double opening!
So what if it’s three, four, or five
As long as Lin Yuan's plot and storyboard can keep up!
Even if a few more pits are dug now, Lin Yuan can still completely control the situation!
So for Lin Yuan, will the plot and storyboard be a problem
Other cartoonists may have to think hard about these things, but in Lin Yuan’s head, all these things are ready-made!
Smiling slightly.
Lin Yuan looked at Luo Wei and mobilized everyone.
beside.
Kaneki received another call: "It's from Tribal Manga."
With that, Kaneki went to the next room to answer the phone.
Lin Yuan watched Luo Wei communicating with the assistants while leaning against the door and listening for a while.
Kaneki's communication with the other party seemed very unpleasant.
Faintly, Lin Yuan heard the man who was talking to Jin Mu yelling: "You don't understand what I'm saying, right? You are a third-rate agent and you are not qualified to communicate with me. Before I curse, let your boss talk to me!"
"good."
Jin Mu wiped his spit, as if nothing had happened, and looked at Lin Yuan: "Boss, the new director of Tribe Comics wants to talk to you."
"Um."
Lin Yuan took the call: "I'm Shadow."
"Teacher Shadow, I'm Lingkong, the new head of Tribe Comics. I have some ideas about your new comic..."
"No."
Lin Yuan said calmly: "I have decided to cancel the cooperation with Tribal Comics."
"What?"
The person on the other side suddenly froze.
Kaneki next to him also changed his expression.
Luo Wei and her assistants looked at each other in bewilderment.
What did the shadow teacher say
Cancel the cooperation with Tribal Comics
Lin Yuan's tone remained calm:
"Regarding the cooperation on this comic, we can terminate the contract."
"shadow!"
The voice on the other end turned cold: "You are not calm right now. We can find a place to sit down and talk. I respect you very much, and I hope you can respect me too."
"I respect you very much."
Lin Yuan said: "I hope you can also learn to respect the work "The Kindaichi Case Files", learn to respect the users of your website, and most importantly, you have to respect my agent."
"… "
The other party was silent for a few seconds, and his voice became extremely low and suppressed: "It is indeed a bit unpleasant, but I can apologize to him in person later. There is no need to say anything angry like terminating the contract. If you leave Tribe Comics, you will have nowhere to go. This market is decided by our tribe, but our website also needs talents like you. This is a win-win situation. Don't let anger cloud your mind and ruin your future."
A step, a threat, a combination of kindness and severity, covering both inside and outside.
Jin Mu heard the voice on the phone and waved desperately at Lin Yuan.
"Oh, he said: I don't accept your apology."
Lin Yuan looked at Jin Mu's gesture with an expression that said "I understand" and then hung up the phone.
The studio was silent.
Luo Wei and her assistants even breathed carefully.
Is Shadow Teacher really going to terminate his contract with Tribe Comics
Lin Yuan's expression was calm, but everyone could vaguely feel the terrifying low pressure in the room, and no one dared to speak for a moment!
Kaneki was completely stunned!
Big brother!
Dear brother!
I'm not refusing to accept an apology!
I waved my hand to tell you not to break up with the tribe!
