My Cartoonist Strategy

Newcomer Award?

Shen Xin was stunned for a while, then smiled lightly.

"What's wrong?" Yan Fei puzzled.

"Sister Yan, do you remember when I called you on New Year's Day, did I have a chance to say something?"

At that time, "Shattering" happened to happen, and Shen Xin's attention also shifted to "Shaking".

"I remembered it." After Yan Xin's reminder, Yan Fei immediately remembered, "Wouldn't you say that what you wanted to talk to me at the time was the "Rookie Award"?"

Shen Xin nodded slightly, "I saw Ye Hexu."

"Huh? The author of "Hunting Abyss"?" Yan Fei asked quickly.

"Well. Then I chatted with him for a while." Shen Xin explained.

Xi Muhan brought two cups of coffee and placed them in front of the two, then sat quietly next to Shen Xin.

"What did he say?" Yan Fei wondered.

Shen Xin succinctly stated the conversation between him and Ye Hexu.

Yan Fei's brow furrowed, and she sighed after Shen Xin finished speaking.

"Alas, he is telling the truth. "Comic Future" and "New World" are too large, and the surrounding companies have very different attitudes toward the two magazines."

Shen Xin nodded, and this is the "resource" that Ye Hexu mentioned before can be used by the magazine.

"I was on holiday, and I considered whether "Y's" has the opportunity to make animation. After all, let more people know "Y's" and get their support. This is for you who want to win the "Newcomer Award". It's really important.

"However, even if a production company is willing to produce, the quality of the production and the time period of the broadcast can not be compared with "The Hunting Abyss." Even so, we still have to fight, otherwise, the gap between the two comics will be greater and greater. .

"Therefore, I have been hesitating whether I can reduce the copyright price in exchange for cooperation opportunities with top animation companies."

Yan Fei looked at Shen Xin.

Lowering the copyright price means that he has to save a lot of money, and many cartoonists will not easily agree.

Shen Xin knew that what he needed most now was popularity.As long as the popularity is high enough, he will have a great say in drawing the second comic and even have the opportunity to talk to the magazine about the conditions.

"No problem, as long as there is a suitable animation company and copyright fees, you just talk."

Yan Fei smiled awkwardly, "This is my original idea, and before that, there are animation companies willing to cooperate. I also plan to discuss this matter with you after the big framework is finalized."

"An accident?" Shen Xin asked quickly.

Yan Fei nodded slightly.

"Initially, our original idea was to produce an animation of 13 episodes in a season. While you were drawing comics, the production company started to produce it, which could be broadcasted in July, and then broadcasted for three consecutive months of August, August and September. Let "Y's" "Popularity reached its peak in October. However, recent public opinion on the Internet has put this plan on hold."

"Sister Yan, what does this have to do with "Y's"?" Xi Muhan said quickly.

"It has something to do with it. In fact, not only "Y's" is affected, but other types of comics, including the crime type of "Penalty", also affect the production of animation because of the scale. Animation companies are not charitable organizations. Is profitable.

"Creating animations, selling them to TV stations, and selling optical discs is the main source of economics for animation companies. Now that public opinion has not completely disappeared, large-scale comics still have a relatively large negative impact, and animation companies must wait and see for a while."

Xi Muhan gripped the corner of the garment nervously, "Sister Yan, you mean, "Y's" has no chance to be animated?"

"That would not be the case. The animation company is just watching. This period of watching may be one or two months or half a year.

"That is to say, when we need the most popularity, there is no way to make "Y's" into an animation." Shen Xin said.

"There is a chance to make it. Just because there is a wait-and-see period, the broadcast time will be delayed. It is estimated that it will be broadcast as soon as the fourth quarter of this year, that is, in October, November and December.

"But by October, some awards have almost achieved results. At this time, the animation will be played, and the effect is limited, and the animation production company will also keep the copyright fee very low. Whether it is for you or the magazine, it is very big. loss.

"The magazine believes that "Y's" will produce better animations after the comics festival."

Shen Xin thought for a long time, then looked up at Yan Fei, "What do you think?"

"After the ceremony, contact the animation production company." Yan Fei said seriously.

"I know." Shen Xin was a little helpless, already very careful, but did not expect that the "Shake Up" incident still affected "Y's".

"But... can't make up for the loss of animation in time, shouldn't it be able to make up for it?" Xi Muhan frustrated.

"That's right. So we can only find another way." Yan Fei was helpless first.

"Sister Yan, what's your idea?" Shen Xin asked.

"So far, you should not know the flow of the comic festival?"

"Ok."

Yan Fei took out a notepad from her shoulder bag to explain the awarding process of the comic festival.

"The comic process for the Newcomer Award is divided into three stages. The first stage is from now on. By 24 June 30th, the top ten newcomer comics will be promoted, and comics outside the ten will be eliminated. Second In the stage, from July 1 to September 30, Manjia.com will rank according to the popularity of each comic. The final ranking of the comics will enter the top five and will advance to the last stage.

"By then, the comic festival organizing committee composed of several magazines will hold a one-week meeting to analyze and discuss all comics, and finally vote to select the winners of the major awards. The final result will be Announced at the comic festival."

Shen Xin nodded slightly, "The previous process is easier to understand, but how do you measure the popularity of a work?"

"Manjia.com users can vote one day and count it as 1 popularity value; every time a comic is sold, there will be 10 points of popularity. In addition, Comics Network will select five most popular articles for each comic. The popular long commentary is placed below the comic to help new readers understand the comic."

To a certain extent, these long reviews are equivalent to work recommendations and deserve attention.

Yan Fei's explanation solved part of Shen Xin's doubts.

"I still don't understand a little bit. The final stage of the discussion was discussed and voted by the Comic Book Festival Committee, so a small one like "New World"... The second-line magazine should not be qualified to serve as a member of the committee. What are the rights of the second-line magazine? Guarantee?"
