My Cartoonist Strategy

The rooftop is very windy.

Before crossing, Shen Xin often heard this sentence.

When he came to the rooftop, he found that what was said was true. The wind on the rooftop was really not small.

The rain was getting stronger, and then the cold wind hit his face, covering Shen Xin's sight. He could only brush his hair behind his head.

The police also stood in the rain and saw Shen Xin coming up and asked, "Are you Zheng Zheng?"

"Yes." Shen Xin nodded.

"Are you sure?"

"No, but always try it?" Shen Xin said.

"Want an umbrella?"

"No need to."

What umbrella is used at this time?

"be careful."

Shen Xin nodded and looked forward.

At the edge of the roof, there was a thin man standing, the sky was a bit dim, but it was not the kind that the sky would be black, so Shen Xin could roughly see the appearance of that person.

It is not difficult to see that he should have been carefully dressed today, suits, white shirts, leather shoes, should be rarely worn, but the tie does not know where to go, the neckline is ripped, and the suit is also soaked by rain. It looks like There are many embarrassments.

However, Shen Xin was not much better than this person. After the rain soaked, the sweater was close to the skin, the pants and board shoes were also wet by the rain, and the cold wind blowing made him feel a slight tremor.

"Teacher Shen?" The man spoke first.

"Teacher Zuo Yuan?" Shen Xin also said softly.

"Well, Teacher Shen, you are younger than I thought."

"Thank you, you are not bad."

"Mr. Shen, do you know why I am still hesitating?" Zuo Yuan asked.

"Because of your daughter, because of your lover, and... dreams and readers..." Shen Xin speculated.

Zuo Yuan grinned, "Mr. Shen, you are right 2/3."

"what?"

Shen Xin was stunned, not understanding what Zuo Yuan meant.

"Daughter, former lover...and you." Zuo Yuan said here, stepped on the high platform, and moved forward half a step, which is the abyss.

"Wait... Teacher Zuo, don't be impulsive!" Shen Xin said aloud. "Speak slowly, there must be a solution."

Seeing Zuo Yuan's move, Shen Xin quickly stopped it and took a step forward involuntarily.

"Stop! If you take another step forward, I will jump down!" Zuo Yuan said suddenly.

Shen Xin immediately spread his hands, "I listen to you."

"Mr. Shen, do you know? I have imagined countless times, where can I meet you formally. Maybe by accident, or, at some point, for example, today, at your autographed book sale, I I even imagined countless times, the scene when we met... I never expected that we would meet in this way."

Zuo Yuan stared at Shen Xin, and at the end, his tone was still very depressed.

"I didn't expect it. To be honest, I still look forward to your work..." Shen Xin explained.

"I'm also looking forward to it, but... what's the use!" Zuo Yuan suddenly excited, patting his chest with his hands, "The first volume has less than 4,000 copies of sales, Mr. Shen. In the future, I have no chance to make another comeback! "

If the sales volume of the first edition of the first volume is not good, then the subsequent first edition is likely to decline, and the first edition of the second volume may not even reach 50,000.

Magazine companies should also avoid risks.

No matter how good Zuo Yuan’s work is, one thing is very important. He has never proved himself in the market. In this case, no platform can give him too many opportunities.

It is cruel to say, but comics are commercial creations. Since it is commercial, how can it not be cruel?

No, to be more precise, if you do not experience this cruelty, how can you survive the brutal competition?

"Mr. Shen, I really want to rely on serialization to survive... my wife's departure may be related to this, but I still want to try it.

"I admit that I am not capable enough, so for the first time in a series, there is no way to publish a single book, and I know that this is what I deserve.

Recalling "My World", Zuo Yuan still puzzled, why would anyone aim at him.

"The thing about "Minecraft" may be my bad luck. Thank you, Teacher Shen, for helping me when I was the most difficult. I will remember this kindness. It is you who let me continue to create comics. But Teacher Shen , What am I doing wrong? "Return to 12" also suffered this treatment, this is not only my own work, but also the hard work of Mr. Yan... why there are less than 4,000 copies sold, is it not ...Is this comic really that bad?"

Shen Xin mutely said.

In terms of creation, it is not clear in one or two sentences. Especially, like "Return to 12", it will be very new to readers who are tired of fighting, but there is also a comic Disadvantages, because it is composed of small stories, the plot is too stable, so once the reader puts it down, there is a high probability that it will not be picked up. At this time, the D version is encountered again, the author himself is not famous, and there is no loyal reader. In this case, sales are likely to collapse.

"Mr. Shen, I have watched "Steel", and I also like this comic. There is passion...I am touched, and I have depth. I like the sentence in it, "equivalent exchange". I often reflect on myself, If you try your best, you should have a good result, because of the "equivalent exchange", you will receive as much as you pay. Even if you can’t be big, but there should be a certain return?

"You just talked about dreams and readers, right? I gave up everything for the sake of dreams... If they don’t like my comics and choose not to read them, it’s because I’m incapable and I have nothing to say. If they paid , Choose to complain, this is their right. Take a step back and say that even if they really have a hardship in their hands and really like "Return to 12 Years Old", choose to watch the free ones, I can understand that when anyone has difficulties, If I really want my comics, I am also very happy.

"But Mr. Shen, why do people who read comics for free still scold me? What am I doing wrong? I didn't get any benefit from them, my efforts, my attachment, my dreams, if they think It's worthless, just give up.

"Mr. Shen, well said, equivalent exchange? My dream, in exchange for sales of less than 4,000 copies and the scolding of those readers? Is this equivalent exchange? Dream... and readers, to me What does it mean?" Zuo Yuan shouted hysterically.

The rain struck Zuo Yuan's face, sliding down his cheeks, his eyes showing his despair for the future.

Although it is not clear, Shen Xin can be sure that Zuo Yuan is crying at the moment.

"Mr. Shen, you are a good person. After meeting you, I have no regrets."

Zuo Yuan was about to turn around, and the police did not expect the situation to turn sharply. If Zuo Yuan turned around, he might jump at any time.

"Wait a minute! Teacher Zuo, you have said so much, should I say a few words!? Otherwise, what is the difference between you and those who scold you?"

Seeing that Zuo Yuan was about to turn around, Shen Xin quickly stopped Zuo Yuan.

It's important to save people, even if it's "chicken soup", he has to give Zuo Yuan.
