Chapter 26 Contracts

The editor-in-chief frowned, clasped his hands to his chest, and fell into deep thought.

Almost all of the authors who can get the color pages are the old authors of "New World", and they have a certain network in the magazine, and it is really difficult to get the color pages from these people.

The editor-in-chief looked down at Shen Xin's name twice, and then at the color page arrangement within a month, and after pondering for a while, he turned his head and asked the middle-aged editor, "Lao Li, the color page of "The Boy Chasing the Wind" has been replaced by the color page in the volume, you can talk to Teacher Gong when the time comes." Yan Fei, the first episode of "Y's" will be published in the fourth week of the magazine, and you will get the color page in the third week. ”

"Yes." Yan Fei nodded hurriedly.

"That's right...... Contract, don't forget, the contract must be knocked to death for me. Don't be poached. The editor-in-chief reminded.

“…… Well, I know. ”

Yan Fei rubbed her hands, entangled in her heart, how to talk to Shen Xin about the contract.

"Okay, let's start talking about "I Can Meet You Anywhere". The editor-in-chief looked at Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang coughed lightly and was about to speak, when Yan Fei raised his hand again.

"Editor-in-chief, I have one more thing!"

Xiao Zhang had a black line on his head, looked at Yan Fei with sharp eyes, and couldn't help but want to burst into foul language.

Is there anything you can't say in one sitting?

Yan Fei ignored Xiao Zhang's gaze and the gaze of others, but looked directly at the editor-in-chief, "Shen Xin's conditions at home are not very optimistic, and he shouldn't be able to afford to rent a studio or hire an assistant." If the magazine wants him to publish the article quickly, shouldn't it help him provide convenience? ”

The editor-in-chief frowned slightly, "Yan Fei, you are an employee of the magazine, so you should think more about the magazine." ”

"After Shen Xin signed the contract, he was also working for the magazine, and his working environment was better, but it was us who benefited." Yan Fei asked.

The editor-in-chief kept tapping the fingers of one hand on the table, and the other supported his chin, and after a long time, he said to the deputy editor-in-chief: "You help find a studio, and then find two assistants." Wages...... The magazine will cushion first, wait until his manuscript fee comes down, and then deduct the expenses. ”

The deputy editor-in-chief nodded.

"What's going on, are you okay?" The editor-in-chief kept a heartfelt eye and continued to look at Yan Fei.

Yan Fei hurriedly shook her head, "It's gone." ”

Xiaoli next door secretly gave Yan Fei a thumbs up, she can get so many "benefits" for newcomers, and only Yan Fei can do it in the entire editorial department.

Yan Fei smiled but said nothing.

……

"I'm so nervous, I don't know if I can pass?"

Knowing that this afternoon, you can know whether Shen Xin's comics can be serialized, Xi Muhan also has no intention of working, and sits in the living room all afternoon, restless.

Shen Xin poured boiling water twice, and when she saw Xi Muhan's nervous face, she comforted her, "Don't worry, you can definitely get by." ”

But before Yan Fei's phone call came, the tension in Xi Muhan's heart could not be alleviated.

Finally, at nearly three o'clock, Yan Fei called.

"Congratulations, passed! Gravette color page...... I'll go over now and tell you about the contract. Yan Fei finished speaking concisely and hung up the phone.

"How?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin expectantly.

Shen Xin grinned and gave a thumbs up, "It's over." ”

"Great!"

Xi Muhan screamed, and the next moment he threw himself into Shen Xin's arms.

Shen Xin's face turned red instantly, and he didn't know where to put his two hands.

Xi Muhan quickly sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly separated from Shen Xin, and the flush crawled from his neck to the root of his ears.

"I'm going to buy some groceries." Xi Muhan didn't dare to look at Shen Xin, so he hurriedly left the house.

It can be seen that the little girl is in a good mood.

Shen Xin poured a sip of tea, calming his heart down a little.

Serial...... Finally able to serialize......

Shen Xin sat weakly on the chair.

He knew that for a long time to come, he would have to focus on Y's, and maybe he wouldn't have much time to go to school. If he drops out of school because of this, Shen Xin has no choice but to accept it.

In fact, even the sincerity in "Dream Eater" chose to drop out of school in the second grade, and Shen Xin was ready to drop out.

If you can get a degree certificate and graduation certificate, of course, it is the best thing, but it depends on whether you have extra energy.

Xi Muhan walked outside for more than an hour, bought vegetables and beef, and his expression returned to normal, but when he saw Shen Xin, his cheeks were slightly hot.

About ten minutes later, the doorbell rang again.

Shen Xin opened the door and saw Yan Fei with a smile on her face.

"Congratulations." Yan Fei narrowed her eyes.

"Sister Yan has worked hard. In order to get the gravity, you must have experienced a 'fierce battle', right? ”

"What is 'Guild Wars'? There is not a single one who can fight. Yan Fei followed Shen Xin into the living room.

When Xi Muhan heard Yan Fei's voice, he also hurriedly came out of the kitchen and bowed deeply to Yan Fei, "Thank you, sister." ”

"Thank me for what? The main thing is that the name is good, otherwise, even if I have a full tongue, I can't get the headpiece color page. By the way, Shen Xin, how is your coloring level? Yan Fei remembered this.

"It's ok. After all, I'm also an art major, and besides, don't you have "The Witch"? Isn't the cover also a color page? Shen Xin poured Yan Fei a glass of boiling water.

"That level...... It's okay, I always feel that it's not as good as the 'water dragon'. ”

Chen Zijiao's pen name is "Dragon Playing in the Water", and Yan Fei simplified it and simply called it "Water Dragon".

"Of course I'm better now than I was then, you don't have to worry."

"Okay, since you say so, I won't say anything more, and in three weeks, I must hand in the original manuscript of the first sentence, and you have to hurry. Okay, now let's talk about contracts, shall we? Yan Fei took out two documents from the document bag and handed them to Shen Xin, "After both parties sign and seal, we will leave one for you, and the other will be stored in the magazine." ”

Shen Xin nodded, his gaze swept to the contract, and his brows furrowed as he read it.

It took more than ten minutes for Shen Xin to read the contract, and then sighed, "This contract is from District 11, right?" ”

"You know this kind of contract?" Yan Fei was surprised.

Shen Xin didn't answer, just rubbed his chin.

At first, he thought that the contract in this world was a common contract to bind works, that is, after signing it, he signed a manga with the magazine company only "Y's". During the term of his contract, he could draw cartoons for other magazines, even under a pseudonym.

Now that he has read this contract, he can be sure that this is the infamous "exclusive contract system". This was originally used by "Jump", but there was no "jump" in this world, and it was found by "Leap" again, and the magazines in Area 11 immediately rushed to follow suit.

To put it simply, during the contract period, even if the serial comics are cut in half, and no new works are made within a few months, he cannot draw comics for other magazines, and can only receive a low contract payment. Therefore, the power of the editor is very large, and correspondingly, the cartoonist is in a passive position.

"Now, all magazines in the country have this kind of contract. To be honest, cartoonists are indeed a disadvantaged group compared to magazines. Yan Fei lowered her head and didn't look at Shen Xin.
