Chapter 368: Whether to Introduce
After hanging up Tamagawa Haruka's phone, Murakami didn't pay much attention to it.
As he said, "Shounen 1eap" has no shortage of good comics, and if you can find a substitute in China, even if the quality is not as good, it will reduce the cost a lot.
For "Shounen 1eap", the cost of introducing comics is not low, especially for simultaneous serialization.
At the beginning, the reason why he chose to introduce "Soul of Chess" was because "Soul of Chess" had already aroused a lot of repercussions on the Internet, and he won't lose money on "Youth 1eap".
The fact is the same, "Soul of Chess" has sold more than 15 million copies, which is proof.
Murakami is also looking forward to Shen Xin's new work. But to run a large magazine, you can't just rely on personal preference, you must put the profit first.
Unless it is a hit, there is no need for "Shounen 1eap" to help "icfuture".
What is a hit? Certainly time-tested and approved by District 11 readers.
If you want to serialize on "Shounen 1eap", the popularity of the manga cannot be lower than that of "Soul of Go", which is Murakami's standard.
Murakami's view is that after 30 episodes, we will see if there is a chance to cooperate.
The response of the market is the standard to test whether a work is valuable.
This is the belief in Murakami's heart. Therefore, before "icfuture" took the initiative to negotiate with him, he did not intend to take this matter to heart.
A week later, Shang Haozhi called, and Yokoi acted as an interpreter, and the two sides had a brief communication.
Shang Haozhi's idea was consistent with Murakami's guess, and he sold the copyright of Shen Xin's new work in District 11. At the same time, in order to let Murakami have an intuitive impression of "Steel Refining", he gave Murakami the first episode by email.
Shen Xin also knew that before the original drawing was drawn, the pictures in the first few episodes represented this work, so what was submitted on the surface was actually very close to the line draft.
From a reader's point of view, Murakami's perception is completely unaffected. But he also knows that very few cartoonists can still perform well in their new works after changing themes.
As long as he changes the subject matter, the manga artist whose grades are still stable in the forefront is a treasure-like existence in every magazine.
Is Shen Xin such an author?
From Murakami's point of view, it's not obvious now.
In fact, after learning that Tamagawa Haruka was planning to create evil manga, he lowered his expectations for Tamagawa Haruka as appropriate.
Different themes, readers' excitement is different.
The author wants to find the rhythm of different types of comics, which cannot be done overnight.
For hot-blooded comics, readers like intense fighting scenes. The logic may not be rigorous, but the picture must be hot.
Romance comics pay attention to ignorance, each other has intentions, but they cannot be broken, but the intentions of the two must be clearly conveyed to the readers. That feeling is like a kitten living in my heart, constantly scratching the most itchy place in my heart. Knowing that the author is "fishing", but after the latest chapter is published, readers will buy and read it as soon as possible.
Reasoning comics are at the moment of reasoning and revealing the real culprit. As for the picture, it does not need to be hot, but the plot and reasoning must be reasonable-readers enjoy the refreshing feeling brought by high IQ.
No matter what kind of manga, it has its own rhythm. How to set up contradictions, how to pave the way, and how to make readers look forward to the climax all require skills.
The learning process is very exhausting, and most people don't focus on it.
Sometimes, the cartoonist may be very satisfied with the work, but the readers don't like it, and the result can only be "self-consciousness". Even when the cartoonist was drawing the cartoon, he was so moved that he wept bitterly, but the reader felt embarrassed when he read it.
Some cartoonists can only draw one theme, and if there is a slight change, they will be thrown into the street.
Once this hurdle can be overcome, the future of cartoonists will be extremely broad.
Murakami printed out the handed over and quickly browsed through it. When he turned to the last page, he frowned.
The war between Edward and the leader is imminent,
But the story stopped abruptly.
If it's stuck in the throat, it's probably the case.
Murakami felt stuck in his heart, feeling a little uncomfortable.
The Huaxia people are really scheming, and they only passed on half of it, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Murakami also understood that the reason why Shang Haozhi did this was to make himself contact him proactively.
Knowing that the first sentence is the bait, will he take the bait or not?
Murakami is also a little suspicious. This manga has not yet been proven by the market. Will it be successful if it is serialized simultaneously on "Shounen 1eap"?
He rubbed his chin, looked around, and found that Xiaogu was the only group leader in the office, so he took it, walked to him, and tapped him on the shoulder.
"come here."
Kotani was proofreading the text of the manuscript when he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder and was startled. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Murakami had already left the editorial office and got up to follow.
When he came to the reception room next door, Murakami had already poured two cups of coffee.
"Chief editor, what's the matter?"
"Look at this one first." Murakami put a cup of coffee in front of Xiaogu.
"Who is so good? Submit the manuscript directly to you." Xiaogu was a little surprised, the editor-in-chief usually does not review manuscripts.
"Let's see first."
Xiaogu took it, flipped through about four or five pages, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Editor-in-Chief, this is...the manuscript from Huaxia, right?"
"How do you know?" Murakami was surprised.
"Look at the painting style, this is Teacher Shen's style...it's different from "Soul of Chess", but it looks familiar." Xiaogu scratched his head.
At first, he always resisted Shen Xin and "Soul of Chess", but after learning about the comics, he immediately became a fan of "Soul of Chess".
"You can see that too?"
"Obviously... I've read every book of "Soul of Chess" six or seven times. It's really good. The characters in this book are very similar to the characters of "Soul of Chess." Xiao Gu said in a deep voice.
"That's right. It's Mr. Shen's. "icfuture" asked us whether to buy the serialization rights. After reading it, I was in a dilemma, so I wanted to hear your suggestion."
Xiao Gu nodded slightly, took a deep breath, read it carefully, closed it, and shook his head slightly.
"How about it?"
"I can't tell." Xiaogu said with a frustrated expression, "Many concepts are not explained in this statement. For example, what does the 'God's Domain' refer to? Why does one part of the body disappear when the 'God's Domain' is violated? What is a synthetic beast? The younger brother of the protagonist needs to draw a magic formation when he is refining it, but the protagonist puts his palms together and presses it on the ground to refine it into a weapon from the stone surface? Why doesn't he draw a formation?"
"Mr. Shen didn't explain these contents. If he can justify himself, build a reasonable system, and the plot is above average, the results of this work can be expected. In fact, compared with the previous few chapters, I care more What kind of world will Teacher Shen 'create'?"
"Then what do you think, should we give up this comic or serialize it?"
"Interview!" Xiao Gu said in a deep voice.
