Just as he was about to lie down on the table and take a nap in the morning, Chen Rui came in from the door, called Qin Guanglin, and called him into the office.
"sit."
Chen Rui took a paper cup to the water dispenser to get two cups of water, put a cup in front of Qin Guanglin, and praised with a smile: "I saw your work this morning, and I learned it very quickly. I really haven't touched it before?"
"No, it's the first time." Qin Guanglin picked it up and took a sip, "This is to... make me a regular?"
He thought that Chen Rui stood behind and watched for a long time in the morning, probably because he felt that his painting was okay.
After becoming a regular, I don't need to worry about those four-frame and six-frame paintings... Tsk, it seems that I don't need to worry about it now
"Why do you keep thinking about becoming a regular?" Chen Rui laughed, "Okay, turn around." He paused, collected his expression, and continued: "Actually, there is nothing else, just chatting casually, um … What is your career plan? Do you have any ideas for this job?”
planning? idea
Qin Guanglin froze for a moment, pondered for a moment and said, "My thoughts... I don't seem to have any ideas, no plans."
He glanced at Chen Rui, took a sip from his cup, and said honestly: "I have only been in contact with this job for a while now. Although I have a foundation in painting and I can get started quickly, my job is still traditional painting. To be honest Yes, comics are more like, um...interest, yes, a little interest now."
Chen Rui sat on the chair and listened without interjecting, Qin Guanglin smiled and continued: "If I have to talk about ideas, I just like that... your style of painting, it feels quite fulfilling to draw, I really like this This kind of feeling, like those messy four-panel paintings, I don't really want to touch them."
"I like it." Chen Rui nodded after listening to him, and asked suddenly: "Then you didn't like your previous job?"
"Before..." Qin Guanglin paused, "It's also an interest, it's a liking."
"That's right, it's all because I like it." Chen Rui laughed, "Is there any difference?"
"It's all the same." Qin Guanglin pondered for a moment, then laughed, "Then what do you mean?"
"Make the studio bigger and stronger... Hahaha, these empty words are meaningless."
Chen Rui shook his head and laughed at himself, "The goal of every company is this, but mine is different. What I want to do is not just a studio. For example..." He paused here, glanced at the direction of the door, and moved forward slightly Tan, "What do you think of Sun Wen's ability? Tell the truth."
"Uh..." Qin Guanglin was a little confused, "It's okay."
Sun Wen's ability is not low, but it can't be called high either. It's more than enough than the top. Generally, it's enough for this kind of studio, but it's really a bit broken if it's matched with Chen Rui's coloring.
"Well, it's really good."
Chen Rui smiled, "But if my paintings are painted by better people, wouldn't it be better? At least it can be improved by two grades?"
Qin Guanglin nodded, "Almost."
"That's it. If you want to recruit a good colorist, one or two companies can afford it, but that's not what I want." Chen Rui leaned on the chair and took a sip of the water glass before continuing: " If you talk too much now, you won’t understand. At present, we are just a studio, and I can only be a studio if I am alone, so I need partners. If you want to develop in this industry, I hope you can seriously think about it."
"I really don't understand." Qin Guanglin was a little dazed by him, "I'm a half-assed... You can recruit a bunch of experts by just raising your salary, right?"
"It's not the same, although it can build word of mouth, but..." Chen Rui smacked his lips, "Forget it, anyway, you should improve yourself, and you will understand later."
He waved his hand, "By the way, the one you are painting now, although you completed it independently, the copyright of that story was bought by the company, so after deducting the company's operation and copyright fees, the net profit will be 50 to 50 cents, no problem." Bar?"
Fifty five points
Qin Guanglin blinked, which surprised him.
Although there was talk about dividends during the interview, he didn't mention how to divide them at that time. He thought it was a bonus.
"Of course I don't mind."
"No surprises." Chen Rui smiled proudly at his appearance, "Okay, I won't delay your rest."
"Okay." Qin Guanglin got up and was about to go back to take a nap. When he was about to turn around, he paused and turned to look at Chen Rui, "What you want is not a studio... what is that?"
Why not open a company for money? He felt that Chen Rui was a little weird.
"platform."
Chen Rui leaned on the chair and turned gently, "The largest comic platform."
"Like that..."
"No, it's different from it. It's destroying comics." Chen Rui interrupted him: "Be a platform for cartoonists."
"Well… "
"Isn't it ridiculous? Now we're a big ass studio."
"No." Qin Guanglin shook his head, "I just don't understand the difference between the two."
"Difference?" This time it was Chen Rui's turn to be surprised. He looked up at the ceiling and pondered for a moment, as if thinking about how to explain it to him more easily.
"For example, you resigned from here." He pointed out the window, "Going home, but still engaged in this business. As long as you send the stories you think at home and the cartoons you draw to our platform, you can still communicate with us. It’s the same as working here, as long as the operating costs are deducted, everything else is still yours, regardless of profits, copyrights or whatever.”
"Is there any temptation?" Chen Rui raised an eyebrow at Qin Guanglin, "A real win-win situation."
"Then no one will go to work." Qin Guanglin also smiled at him, "You can paint at home, so who will give you a part-time job?"
"Creation itself shouldn't be a part-time job, should it?"
"..."
"Only in this way can this industry be full of vitality, and everyone can create with peace of mind, without worrying that the paintings they draw will suddenly not belong to them one day."
Qin Guanglin gave him a thumbs up, "I wish you success."
If you want to change the state of the entire industry with your own efforts, you really are in the second grade...
"Hopefully one day it will be to wish us success."
"I'm just a newcomer..." Qin Guanglin turned around with a smile, "Let's talk about it when the time comes, I will definitely support you anyway."
"Anyone can have experience, not talent." Chen Rui said from behind, "You are very talented, come on."
"Thanks."
After leaving the office, Qin Guanglin lay on the table without feeling sleepy, thinking about the plan mentioned by Chen Rui in his head.
planning
Now is the Internet age, as long as you have learned it, you should be able to eat a lot by opening a column on any public platform.
This is his plan.
The platform Chen Rui mentioned is good, but it is not realistic no matter how you think about it.
Uh... well, there is still a possibility.
He looked up at the drawing board on one side, and had to admit that the hand was alluring.
