My Cartoonist Strategy
Chapter 688 Preparing a New Book
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Doman.com published a message on its official website, "Y's" reached 284,000 subscriptions within 24 hours.
For authors of this level of Shen Xin, this subscription is not much.
If you convert "Steel", it will break the six to seven hundred thousand within 24 hours, if you eliminate piracy, the subscription will be higher.
But "Y's" can achieve this heat, has exceeded many people's expectations.
This also shows a problem, good works, no matter what form of serialization, will get a lot of money.
When Tongyu heard the news, he was negotiating with others on the table to discuss cooperation.Subsequently, he saved time for chatting and quickly reached an agreement with the other party.
After leaving the hotel, Tong Yu drove to the editorial department of Dumanwang and called Qian Sheng and Yuan Zhe to the meeting room.
"What's the situation now?" Tong Yu asked immediately after sitting down.
"Subscriptions for episode 64 of "Y's" have exceeded 290,000. It is expected that by the weekend, there should be 400,000." Qian Sheng explained.
"Huh, fortunately it's not the sale of paper books." Tong Yu let out a breath.
Yuan Zhe and Qian Sheng glanced at each other to understand what Tong Yu said.
They had estimated 200,000 copies in a single week, and if sold according to a single book, it would be sold out in a day or two.But web comics have no such concerns.
"Yes, and this subscription is just a word. If it is a single book, the revenue should be doubled." Yuan Zhe said.
A single book usually has 8 or 9 words, and the number of subscriptions is estimated to increase several times.
"This also shows from the side that this model of subscribing to "speech" is feasible. In the future, can we also allow more works to join this model?" Qian Sheng asked.
"The 7:3 ratio is too high, and we can hardly make much money. Teacher Shen said that although the ratio is high, after all, he is a banner and spends money to buy the banner. I think there is nothing wrong with it. Although "Y's" is It’s been a long time of comics, but the plot is good, and it’s very suitable for making a movie. In addition, even if we only get 30%, the gains are not small. Other cartoonists want to get this ratio.” Tong Yu waved his finger.
"Then adjust the different proportions according to the different levels of the authors. Ordinary authors are five or five points, high-level authors, such as the Golden Brush Award winners, according to six or four points, the highest-level authors, such as Shen and Wang , They can get a score of seven or three. This also allows other authors to have a goal of struggle." Qian Sheng suggested.
"Alright." Tong Yu nodded, touching his chin. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "That's right, I heard that Mr. Shen opened the copyright of "DN"?"
"Yes, Wang Wenhong said so." Yuan Zhegang said the words and remembered one more thing. "Wait, President Tong, don't you think..."
"Find an opportunity to buy the film and television copyright of "DN". We don't do animation, but we do film and television." Tong Yu said.
"That's true. But, let's take a look at the feedback from the market? If nothing goes wrong, "DN" should be serialized soon. Moreover, even if this comic is adapted, the production of the movie may be limited." Yuan Zhe Explained.
Although "DN" has not been serialized,
Tong Yu rubbed his chin and said nothing.
If you really want to limit the level, it is estimated that a group of viewers will be reduced. How to operate it, you still have to wait and see, at least look at the market response.
...
"Y's" was around 300,000 on the first day, approaching 600,000 subscriptions per week, which surprised Shen Xin.But preparing two comics at the same time also made Shen Xin very busy.
"DN" needs to prepare the original manuscript of three or even four words before it can be officially serialized. At the same time, "ComicFuture" has also made a layout for "DN"-basically it is in the 26th issue, and the volume head color page is accompanied by a poster.
Readers are looking forward to waiting for the serialization of "DN", but before that, they need to wait another month.
This is the problem caused by different media.
Paper magazines, in the eyes of most readers, are very formal platforms. The works serialized on it must be edited and screened, and the quality is guaranteed, and the online comics are mixed.
There are fine works such as "Y's" and "Times of the Gods", as well as many works of low quality.
The advantages of web comics are equally obvious, that is, the update time is free, and there is no need to wait for the free layout.
On the other hand, during this period of time, "Y's" scores have been red, with weekly subscriptions steady at 600,000 and a tendency to increase to 700,000.
In the follow-up plot, Yi Gui and the girl—Qi Xiaoquan (Izaki Spring)—were involved due to various coincidences, and Qi Xiaoquan began to pursue Yi Gui, and at the same time, deepened Yizhi's misunderstanding.
In this plot, Shen Xin also made extensive changes to the original work.
In "I's", Seto Yigui was tricked into the female soup by Jingya Jingya and "frankly met" with Iori, which deepened the misunderstanding. However, hot springs rarely appear in Huaxia's comics. Moving the original book, it seems nondescript.
Shen Xin can only move the place where the misunderstanding occurred from the hot spring to the locker room of the bathhouse, which caused the two people to misunderstand.
The reader was so impressed that Shen Xin was "despied" by Xi Muhan.
In this regard, Shen Xin could only sigh silently in his heart, all for the purpose of telling a good story.
On the other hand, after drawing the original manuscript of the first three words of "DN", Shen Xin handed over the manuscript to Yan Fei and translated it by Yan Fei.
However, the translation of "DN" is more time-consuming than "Steel", because it is more than "Steel"...No, there are many more lines than other comics.
There are many lines, which can be regarded as a characteristic of the big field thrush work, "DN" is the same, "Dream Eater" is also the case.
But this is also not to blame him, because these two comics, one belongs to Zhidou comics, and one belongs to the explanatory comics.
There are many lines in these two types of comics. Similar comics include "Jin Tian Yi", "Conan" (Wisdom Fight), and "Spirit of the Halberd" (indicating dishes and ingredients).
Therefore, in addition to being editors of "Ding Shi" and "DN", Yan Fei also put a lot of energy into the translation of "DN" lines.
The time came at the end of June.
The number of subscriptions to "Y's" has gradually increased with the progress of the story. Doman.com has also established a legal department to be responsible for the D version and infringement lawsuits. It wants to further improve the performance and popularity of "Y's". The media also began to recruit actors, preparing to re-shoot "Y's".
Under the blessing of animation, "King of Rock" successfully reached the top of the small book, and also once again ranked in the top three of the popularity list; "Ding Shi" because it entered the plot of the domestic cooking competition, overwhelming "Outside Restaurant" , Won the third place in the small book.
At the same time, the first words of "DN" also entered the printing house with the 26th issue of "ComicFuture".
