My Cartoonist Strategy

"Oh, got it."

Shen Xin nodded slightly, and his evaluation of the Internet was almost numb, especially, the end of this remark was so "underbeat".

But breaking chapters is a skill and a knowledge. Many authors have not mastered the essence.In contrast, Gui Xinhe's chapter-breaking skills, Shen Xin still admired.

"Do you know that readers will scold, and still paint like this?" Lu Ning looked helpless.

"Drawing comics is a kind of creation. Miss Lu, if readers say anything casually, you have to find ways to integrate into the comics, you can't create good works. This is my advice to you." Shen Xin reminded, "Conversely, others will only discuss "Y's", so it is good for someone to scold."

Does this work?But Shen Xin is right again.

Someone scolded it, indicating that a reader is reading it.If the reader does not even want to mention it, it means that the comic is really over.

"How is the evaluation of the foreign station?" Gao Hang asked.

"Other websites... I have a look at Manjia." Lu Ning opened Manjia.com's forum and found the "Other Magazines" section. There are still new posts related to "Y's", but the topic of discussion is three. The content before four words.

"These posts seem to be related to the single book." Lu Ning said back.

"Isn't it? After the single book, "Y's" also published five words, why no one talked about it? Obviously very popular before, during the New Year, my neighbor's children are talking about this comic, should not be nobody Just look." Gao Hang wondered.

"In fact, it's not difficult to understand" Shen Xin said.

"Why?" Gao Hang didn't understand it, and Lu Ning also looked at Shen Xin in confusion.

""Y's" has entered the domestic market, but "New World" has not yet been recognized by domestic readers. The price of a magazine is about the same as the price of a single book. If the reader is only interested in one of the comics, down It's better to just pay for the book," Shen Xin explained.

"Does it affect the sales of "Y's"?" Lu Ning asked.

"There should be a certain impact." Shen Xin thought a little, "After all, the time interval for each single-line sale is too long, and readers will lose interest in "Y's"."

This is also true of online novels.

For example, some online authors are too slow to update, and some readers will pick up the novel and wait until they have updated hundreds of chapters to read it in one breath. This practice is commonly known as "bringing books."But after a long time, readers will forget the previous content, and when they read it again, they will never find the feeling of reading again.

If this level is reached, the book cannot be picked up.

"What should I do? Let the magazine do some more advertising? Or create some public opinion? "Y's" was so popular that it was a pity that it was lost in vain." Gao Hang was anxious.

Lu Ning nodded slightly, her thoughts coincided with Gao Hang.

"If advertising is useful, "New World" will not be just a second-tier magazine. What we have to do is to ensure the quality of "Y's". Even if a single book is published in two or three months, some people will still remember this comic. "

"Really? Can it be done?" Gao Hang lit up.

"Well." Shen Xin nodded.

An old thief often breaks up for more than half a year and re-serializes some people to watch.Online novels are also some authors of Zhou Geng and even Yue Geng, who can still attract readers as long as they publish new chapters.

The quality is not enough, the quantity comes together.

If the quality of a book is not good, and the update is slow, its fate must be the street.

The quality of "Y's" has been relatively good so far, so even if there is a loss of staff, it is within the range acceptable to Shen Xin.What's more, the last sentence of Volume 2 is on the journey of Iori and Egui, and the next place is just a wonderful place, which should leave a large portion of readers.

Lu Ning's face eased a lot, and the mouse then clicked on the homepage of Manjia.com, and the banner at the top of the site read "Manga Festival Primary Selection Sales List", and opened the page subconsciously.

"Mr. Shen, are you going to select the Newcomer Award?" Lu Ning asked.

"Yeah... The sales volume of the single book will not be available until the top ten." Shen Xin picked up the dip pen and began to outline the ink line.

"Look at it, teacher, you are now ranked 17th, with a total sales volume of 510,000 copies." Lu Ning looked at the ranking list of the rookie list.

"Huh? Is it only ranked in the 17th place?" Shen Xin was a little surprised. He thought the ranking would be higher. "How many volumes are in the first place?"

"1.2 million volumes, but that one has already been published in four volumes. On average, one book sells 300,000 volumes."

The newcomer award at the Comic Festival is different from other awards.Most of the other awards choose the performance of the work in the most recent year, and the evaluation time is from the beginning of July last year to the end of June this year.

The Newcomer Award has a minimum requirement of 30 words, and no comics published after December last year can publish 30 words before June.

Therefore, the entry for the Newcomer Award is not based on the publication time, but on the release date of the first volume of the long-form comic book.From the beginning of July last year to the end of June this year, cartoonists who first published long-form manuscripts were eligible to participate in the Newcomer Award.

In fact, after March, there are very few newcomers' stand-alone books, and the magazine society has delayed the release date for a few months to allow these works to participate in the next newcomer award selection.

Because of this, some of the comics that have participated in the selection have already been published in four or five volumes."Y's" only started selling single-handed books in November last year, and it has been quite difficult to squeeze into the top 20.

"But..." Lu Ning looked at the ranking and frowned, "The 18th place is "Penalty", and the single book has reached 500,000 copies."

"Single 500,000 copies?" Shen Xin pinched the bridge of his nose. "The gap is a little wide. Moreover, there is a "Hunting Abyss" behind "Punishment". With its current situation, it is sooner or later to enter the top ten. "

The pressure is a bit high.

Shen Xin stretched a little, wondering what happened to the president, did he find a suitable author?

When Shen Xin thought of Song Tai, Song Tai was also busy with radio dramas.

There are several companies that produce radio dramas in Yunhai, but considering the particularity of this production, Song Tai decided not to outsource "Y's" radio dramas, but to produce them by magazines.

To this end, he deliberately went to Hongchuan. He wanted to invite one or two more famous authors to change the "Y's" comics into a script suitable for radio dramas, and then enrich the content of "Y's", but he was greatly disappointed.

He sought several famous writers in succession, but these people were not interested in rewriting the radio drama "Y's".On the one hand, the price given by Song Tai cannot impress them. On the other hand, the radio drama is perfecting the plot of "Y's", not their own works. It is inevitable that there is some exclusion in the heart.

Song Tai visited several authors in a row, and all returned with disappointment, so there was no interest.

The cost of radio dramas is limited. If you give too much in terms of scripts, you may not be able to get your favorite voice actors.

Later, Song Tai had to communicate with Shen Xin. After two or three exchanges, Shen Xin made concessions and changed from a well-known writer to a well-known light novelist.

As the conditions are lowered, Song Tai has a much wider range of options, and he quickly found several light novelists who were willing to cooperate.

After repeated selection, Song Tai finally finalized a relatively famous author in the light novel world.The other party likes the story of "Y's" very much, and the remuneration is only one-third of that of famous writers, and it is determined that the first volume of script will be given within two weeks.

At that time, Song Tai then submitted the completed script to Shen Xin for review.If there is no problem, start recording immediately.

After finalizing the author of the novel, Song Tai turned his attention to the seiyuu.

Compared to the author, Song Tai believes that voice actors have the greatest impact on radio dramas.The first thing the audience is exposed to is not the plot, but the sound.

A high-level voice actor's understanding and shaping of the character can firmly grasp the listener's heart.To this end, Song Tai began a large-scale selection of voice actors.

Apologization Statement

Because of the assumption before the next, the newcomer award appeared in a bug.If the works released between July of the previous year and June of the following year are eligible to participate in the Newcomer Award, it will cause a bug, that is, from December of the previous year to June of the following year Of comics, because the comics are not enough for thirty words, they lose the qualification to judge.

Therefore, the selection criteria for the Newcomer Award are now revised.

(1) At least thirty words of entries;

(2). The cartoonist is under 30 years old, and has never released a single copy of the long-form comic before;

(3). The long comics in the competition will be published between the beginning of July of the previous year and the end of June of the following year.

(4) The publication time of the first story and the release date of the first volume of the single volume should not exceed half a year.

"Chapter 17 Conditions and Pressure" will be revised, and the content related to the Newcomer Award will also be revised in the near future.

This is my mistake and I apologize again.
