Chapter 1186: Reorganization of the "Comic Festival"

Since Shen Xin expressed her opinions and opinions, Xi Muhan, Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong began to speed up and prepare to re-create.

Those submitted to the editorial department usually consist of three chapters, the first chapter is longer, usually about 40 pages, and the second and third chapters are slightly less in length, but as Shen Xin said before, it may be serialized in a monthly magazine .

The length of the monthly comics is different from that of the weekly comics, so the plot design of each chapter is also different.

Xi Muhan asked Shen Xin how to design it. After thinking about it, Shen Xin decided to create each episode in 20 pages. As for the reason, Shen Xin felt that two episodes of 20 pages could be combined into one episode, and the structure would not be too big. However, it is more difficult to split a 40-page chapter into two chapters, because the structure in one chapter has already been designed, and dismantling it from it is equivalent to destroying the structure of the comic.

Shen Xin still vividly remembers the pain of being divided into two when drawing "Smelting Steel".

"By the way, Xiaohan, in fact, you don't need to draw anymore, you can create a text script first." Shen Xin thought about it, and decided to let Xi Muhan change his strategy this time.

"Huh? Why?" Xi Muhan asked puzzled.

""" is still serialized, and it will take a few months to finish. If you think of better ideas, it will be easier to modify the script. Besides, when you come up with the script, everyone can judge the structure of the story as a whole , and it’s easier to adjust... If you don’t know how to write scripts, just write novels directly, this is your old profession, so it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Xi Muhan's writing style is very delicate, it is said to be a light novel, but it also has some old saying style.

However, these years, Xi Muhan has been studying since he stepped into this industry. In addition, he has not written a novel for a long time, and if he starts writing again, he should be able to have a new style.

"That's fine." Xi Muhan thought over and over again, nodding his head seriously, "If it's a script, please ask Sister Yan and Brother Wang to do more work and change the novel into a script."

Shen Xin was a little surprised when she heard Xi Muhan's words. She didn't expect that she would use the strength of Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong. Then she thought that she paid more attention to this time than any other time before. .

"One more thing, don't extend the plot just to prolong the plot. Any story has a boundary. If it crosses this line, the story will be watery. There will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so don't worry."

"Well, I see." Xi Muhan nodded heavily.

Since it was changed to a novel and a script, the progress was much faster than the original one. However, this also put a lot of demands on Yan Fei and Wang Wenhong. Both of them were comic editors. It takes a while to get used to.

Therefore, in the offices of Wang Wenhong and Yan Fei, two people can often be seen holding books and notebooks, modifying articles, and Xi Muhan is also writing the novel "Mandao" in their office in order to ensure the quality of comics.

Just when everyone in Shen Xin's studio was looking for something to do, something unexpected happened to Shen Xin on the Internet - the Cartoonist Association and Yishu Culture, Duoman.com, "MangaFly", etc. After renegotiation, several magazines decided to revise the "Comic Festival".

This time, considering the second-tier comic platforms and studios, the Cartoonists Association separated the second-tier from the first-tier for the first time, and deliberately awarded awards to the second-tier platforms. And it is noted that this bonus is only awarded to the author, not the comic platform or studio.

Then, various awards, such as short story award, shoujo manga award and many other awards, also range from 50,000 to 200,000 to 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, which greatly aroused the interest of second-line cartoonists.

As for the first-line platform awards, it has also changed a bit. The top prize is still the best novel, with a bonus of three million. However, this award is not held every year. Considering that the creation cycle of long comics is relatively long, this award is awarded every three years.

In addition, the previous voting model,

There have also been some changes, based on the income of the single book/subscription, and if it is a long-form manga award, it is based on the total income of three years, and the ten winners will be selected, and then the jury will make a selection.

In this way, the intervention of human factors is eliminated.

Not long after this news was released, it caused a heated discussion on the Internet, because the bonus was too high, and the highest award was equal to the Golden Paintbrush Award. Moreover, there have been rumors that Duoman.com is also intentionally lowering the Golden Paintbrush Award The prize money, either this session or the next session.

Once it comes true, the "Comic Festival" will become the most appealing comic award in China.

"The top prize on the second-tier platform is only 500,000, isn't it too little? The first prize on the first-tier platform is three million?"

"It's already quite a lot. Without the competition from the first-tier platforms, the pressure on the second-tier platforms has dropped sharply. Moreover, there is not much difference in the level of manga magazines on the second-tier platforms. It can be said that every work has a chance to be selected."

"You said, is this discriminating against second-tier comics? Second-tier platforms are not eligible for the 3 million grand prize."

"According to what you say, the football league is divided into the Super League and the First Division. Isn't that also discriminatory? After all, the Super League has more bonuses than the First Division?"

"I heard that the prize money for each award, in addition to the cartoonist association taking part, is mostly paid by magazines and online platforms. Otherwise, the prize money wouldn't be as high as 3 million."

"But, if you want to take the three million... don't you want to go to the first-line platform?"

"You're really right. Their goal is really to get cartoonists on second-tier platforms to serialize on first-tier platforms. Well, there must be a goal."

"Okay, I've decided, the next stop is "ComicFuture"!"

"I'm going to Duomanwang!"

...

There was a lot of excitement on the Internet, but when Shen Xin knew about it, it was Shi Ping who called him and told him, and mentioned two things.

The first thing is to ask your side to be the honorary chairman of the "Comic Festival", and the second thing is to invite Shen Xin to participate in the kick-off meeting of the "Comic Festival" to be held at the end of June, which is equivalent to a press conference.

Shen Xin thought for a while, and then agreed. No matter which of these two things, it is to expand the popularity of domestic comics. No matter from which point of view, he is duty-bound and duty-bound.

Not long ago, he mentioned to Yu Chen the matter of cultivating newcomers. Unexpectedly, Yu Chen actually took it seriously, and joined forces with other magazines and online platforms to rejuvenate the "Comic Festival". This was something Shen Xin did not expect, but In terms of effect, if everything goes well, it should also help the cultivation of newcomers.
