Chapter 1177 Readers' Expectations

In order to ensure that he could meet with Yu Chen, Wang Wenhong called him on the way.

When Yu Chen heard that Shen Xin was coming, his scalp became numb.

If he came over at another time, he would definitely welcome her with both hands, but at this time, one is the awkward time, and the other is Shen Xin coming over, I don't know what will happen.

However, he couldn't refuse directly, and hearing that Shen Xin and Wang Wenhong were already on the way, he could only agree.

In the editorial office, the editors, who were being called by readers, couldn't help but look at Yu Chen when they heard Shen Xin coming.

Even they rarely see Shen Xin who doesn't come to the magazine very often.

Shen Xin didn't have much contact with them, only works. In addition, there was no other redundant communication to speak of. Furthermore, with Shen Xin's current state, there was no need to go here often.

When Yu Chen mentioned that Shen Xin would come, they were a little surprised.

The calls from the readers continued, and the assistants immediately focused on responding to the calls from the readers, but there was a doubt in their hearts—why did Shen Xin come over?

In about an hour, the three of Shen Xin came to the editorial office of "Comic Future".

After the editors saw it, they called Yu Chen who was working, and Yu Chen stood up immediately.

Shen Xin pointed to the meeting room separated by glass walls, Yu Chen nodded and walked in first.

Shen Xin greeted the editor she knew, but found that she didn't see Wu Xiaoli. She felt a little strange, but she didn't think about it, but went directly into the conference room.

"Mr. Shen, you don't come here often, do you?" Yu Chen said after seeing Shen Xin and the others sitting down.

Shen Xin glanced around the meeting room, "In my impression, I probably haven't been to this meeting room much."

In fact, although Shen Xin has been to Yishu Culture's building, the editorial department seldom comes.

"Haha...that, I made Mrs. Shen laugh. The editorial department has been very busy in the past two days... If Mrs. Shen needs us to cooperate in anything, it may take a little more than two days." Yu Chen said with a smile.

"No, what I'm talking about has something to do with what you're busy with."

The muscles on Yu Chen's face stiffened instantly, and he coughed lightly, "Mr. Shen, this matter has nothing to do with you, so please don't get involved."

"I don't want to get involved either. I'm also very busy. This time, I need to talk a lot to make up for today's work." Shen Xin explained.

"Then you... please come back first? It won't be long before this matter should be over."

"At that time, I'm afraid it will be too late." Shen Xin sighed.

"Huh?" Yu Chen frowned slightly, staring at Shen Xin, "Mr. Shen, what do you mean? Could it be Fan Yinmo who asked you?"

"Fan Yinmo has quit the comic circle, what's the use of looking for me?" Shen Xin stared at Yu Chen coldly, "I just hope that this matter will have a better result."

Yu Chen didn't say anything, but the sneer on his face told Shen Xin that he was meddling in his own business.

Shen Xin was not angry either, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, can you answer a few questions for me?"

"Please tell me." Yu Chen wanted to see what problems Shen Xin could ask.

Xi Muhan also stared at Shen Xin, she wanted to know what kind of attitude Shen Xin would have when facing this matter.

Before, Shen Xin's attitude had been unclear, but before departure, his attitude should be more inclined to Fan Yinmo, which is quite strange.

"First question, when you made this decision, did you consider the readers' expectations?" Shen Xin asked.

"Although the readers paid for it, they also got the booklet and the magazine. Even though "A World Without Demons" was cut in half, we didn't charge the readers any money, right?" Yu Chen laughed.

"Oh, Mr. Yu doesn't seem to understand my question. What I'm talking about is not whether you have considered 'readers', but whether you have considered readers' 'expectations'." Shen Xin chuckled, Yu Chen obviously misunderstood With his intent, he could only repeat the question one more time.

"What?" Yu Chen was stunned.

Wang Wenhong also rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

He had never considered this matter from this aspect before.

"When the editors were instructing new cartoonists, they said one thing. At the end of each chapter, the cartoonists try to maintain suspense as much as possible, so as to attract readers and let them buy the next comic. Brother Wang, you are guiding Didn't you do the same when you were a newcomer?"

Seeing Shen Xin asking him, Wang Wenhong nodded immediately.

"It is said to be suspenseful, but in fact, it is to make readers have a sense of expectation for the story, so that readers can't help but buy magazines and booklets. For a magazine, this is very important, right?"

Yu Chen wanted to refute, but didn't know how to answer.

A magazine, the most important thing is the reader.

A cartoonist, no matter how famous and powerful he is, if readers don’t buy it, his value will be greatly reduced. Otherwise, there won’t be so many famous cartoonists. There are people.

Shen Xin started from the reader's point of view, he really didn't expect it.

"Readers have expectations for a chapter, and they also have expectations for the follow-up plot of a comic. This is the reason why they choose to read this comic. In the comic, there are readers' expectations for this comic, and they also have expectations for this comic. All kinds of fantasies in comics, and then wait for the author to slowly reveal, and give out the thought of "haha, it's the same as I thought", or, "wo.c, it turned out to be this kind of operation".

""A World Without Demons" has a very good score, which shows that readers like this comic very much. They don't want this comic to be forced to end for some reason. From the reader's point of view, the matter between the magazine and the cartoonist , leave it to the two parties to resolve. What they need is that their favorite comics can be serialized. So, when you did this, did you consider the reader's feelings?"

The reader's sense of anticipation is very important to the work.

Shen Xin was an internet writer before time travel, and she knew that some novels had seven to eight million words, or even tens of millions of words.

This kind of novel is of course watery. Shen Xin has never read such a long novel, so she doesn't know how high the "water content" is, but if she can write so many words, her grades are usually not bad, and readers obviously know that it is very watery. , but will continue to subscribe, a big reason is that readers want to know the ending of the novel.

"What's more, if a popular comic ends normally, it will have an impact on the comic website, not to mention that "Comic Future" only has 20 comics serialized, and "A World Without Demons" was forced to cut in half. Are you sure that this part of the readers will be lost After that, will you come back?" Shen Xin asked back.

There is no doubt that famous cartoonists who switch jobs to different platforms will take some readers away, otherwise, the platforms will not make great efforts to poach those cartoonists. The chain reaction brought about by Wang Yunze being poached is very good example.

Wang Wenhong looked at Shen Xin in surprise, he didn't expect Shen Xin to see so far.

"I understand what you're thinking, but... the magazine cannot pretend not to see things like double contracts. This is not only related to the magazine's reputation and prestige. If Fan Yinmo wants to do some small tricks, there is nothing we can do about it " Yu Chen's tone was blunt, and he could see that he was very upset, but he still explained.

"Readers shouldn't be the losers." Shen Xin reiterated her point of view, then sighed again, "Also, Mr. Yu, the second half of "DUNK" is over, are you ready for "Comic Future"? Once too many readers are lost, when I serialize again, these readers may not come back.”

Yu Chen was at a loss for words.

He knew that "DUNK" was coming to an end, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

In a few months, "DUNK" will be over...

This is also... somewhat unacceptable.
